Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"We later discovered that all the alchemists your companion talked to were undercover agents. He talked to 25 of them, and 24 of them joined the Medicine King's Secret Teachings."

“Then, isn’t there still one more?” March 7th retorted.

"The remaining one is the Dragon Maiden of the Pill Refining Division."

"..."

"In short, we need to take him away for a talk, so I'm not going to accompany him."

Watching the Yunqi escort Yan away, Sanyueqi couldn't help but curl his lip.

Honestly, why did this guy have to go and talk to the spy?!

"Gurgle." x2

Behind March 7th, two sounds of swallowing saliva came from behind.

"?"

Looking back.

It turned out to be Tingyun and Danshu.

The expressions on their faces seemed somewhat unnatural.

"What are you doing here?" March 7 asked, puzzled.

First was Tingyun, who awkwardly gripped her sword hilt: "Um, did I just mishear? Is my benefactor's ability to find spies really that outstanding?"

"Who knows about him?" March 7th said, arms crossed, sounding annoyed.

"Like a dog, it runs towards the scent. Didn't it do the same thing when catching the Star Core Hunter last time? Your Listening Beast isn't as effective as its."

"Uh, it's not my Di Ting, it's the Di Ting of the Bureau of Works."

"Okay, okay, they're all pretty much the same, anyway, they're not from our Starry Sky Train."

"..."

Looking at the two of them, March 7th remarked:

"To be honest, this guy used to love being a spy. On the planet we went to before, he even infiltrated the opposing Supreme Executive."

"Do you know the Great Guardian? He's about the same rank as a king of a country. Back then, he was only one rank lower than that king, on the same level as the king's adopted daughter and the army commander. He was so smug."

Tingyun and Danshu: "!!!"

How did a spy manage to get a government job? And even rise to a position of power, second only to the emperor?

This guy is practically a seasoned spy!

Now let's look at their side.

One position was the ferryman of the Tianbo Bureau, and the other was the chief alchemist of the Danding Bureau.

They all have some influence in their respective departments and can be considered to be doing quite well, but the former, on the other hand, has a position equivalent to that of a general in the Immortal Ship Marshal's ranks.

Wouldn't it be incredibly easy for such a seasoned spy to find even lower-ranking spies?

"What's wrong with you guys? What's with those expressions?"

"You guys think he's boring too, right?" March 7th said speechlessly.

"He likes to run around all day long, and then he went undercover in someone else's underground organization. He's really just bored."

"By the way, Dan Shu, Yan also called your spies all the way here, don't take it to heart."

Dan Shu swallowed hard and silently took a step back.

"Well, Miss March, I've realized I have other things to attend to, so I'll have to keep you company from now on."

"?"

March 7th squinted, noticing the distance between them growing longer, and asked in confusion:

"What are you doing? You wouldn't actually be a spy, would you?!"

"Tap tap tap tap tap—" Before March 7th could finish speaking, Dan Shu started running!

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Cloud Riders.

Almost seconds after Dan Shu started running, cloud knights surrounded her and blocked her way:

Why is this veiled girl so flustered?

"Uh, ah? I... I need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it anymore! Move aside... move aside!"

"Going to the toilet? I understand. But the toilet is in that direction, you're going the wrong way," Yunqi reminded him, pointing in the direction where Yan was taken away in handcuffs.

"..."

"The situation at the Pill Refining Division is complicated right now. Please do not wander around. Stay in the safe zone and wait for Lord Fu Xuan to return."

"……it is good."

Dan Shu retreated in a huff.

It wasn't because the Cloud Riders were blocking her way, but because she saw Walter walking towards her.

"..."

She had heard of Yang Chaoyue's great reputation.

If this guy notices something's wrong and makes me run 500 meters ahead of time, Dan Shu doesn't think he'll be able to get out of there successfully.

"Miss Dan Shu, what just happened?"

At this moment, Walter had already arrived in front of Danshu.

"It's nothing, I just have a bit of a stomachache and need to go to the toilet."

"I see. I thought we had encountered some kind of trouble."

Walter sighed deeply:

"Sigh, many of the alchemists under your command have joined the Medicine King's secret teachings. Try to take it easy."

"……it is good."

Dan Shu isn't the only one feeling anxious right now.

After wandering off on March 7th, Tingyun once again fell into self-doubt.

"This guy... this guy is incredibly accurate at finding those traitorous alchemists, why hasn't he suspected me yet?"

Thinking about this, Tingyun's feelings became increasingly complicated.

Could it be... that my acting was too good?

I had just arrived in Luofu when I came into contact with them.

There's a saying that when people arrive in a new place, they always develop a good impression of the first person they meet.

This is based on scientific evidence.

Thinking that he had entrusted his most important Heavenly Fire Greatsword to him for self-defense, Tingyun's heart calmed down considerably.

"Huh~ It seems I've thought too much."

His plan to infiltrate the immortal ship was flawless.

Even the people from Xianzhou who lived with her day and night didn't notice anything amiss, let alone Yan Huan, an outsider.

The main reason for Dan Shu's exposure was his identity as the head of the Dan Ding Si Dan Shi.

Yan Huan's initial reason was: These people from the Pill Refining Department play with pills every day. How many of them who like refining pills don't want to refine an elixir of immortality?

Seeing these births, aging, sickness, and deaths every day, how could one not feel the slightest ripple in one's heart, and not be interested in immortality?

To be honest, even Tingyun himself thought it made sense.

Furthermore, the fact that Dan Shu actually agreed with Yan Huan's view that immortality was justified when they were riding the Star Chariot only increased the suspicion.

"How foolish... Who would praise the wonders of immortality under such circumstances?"

Although Tingyun herself was also interested in immortality, she knew what she should and shouldn't say.

Yan Huan can say whatever she wants, but why are you agreeing with her for no reason?

Do you really think mindless flattery will get you anywhere? Maybe that guy's just fishing for attention!

Whether Yan Huan was genuinely interested in immortality or doing it on purpose, Tingyun felt it was necessary to deal with Dan Shu first.

"She has too many flaws; what if she implicates me?"

With that thought in mind, Tingyun composed herself and headed toward March 7th.

By reporting Dan Shu, he could gain more trust.

"Sister, I'm so sorry to have been born a spy."

At this moment, March 7th was talking to a Yunqi soldier stationed there.

Chapter 295 Isn't he just like us?

The garrisoned Yunqi soldier's face turned ashen.

Seeing Tingyun approach, he saluted, then continued speaking to March 7th:

“We captured this place a few hours ago following the orders of the Grand Diviner. Only later did we learn that our opponent was actually the Medicine King, who worshipped the God of Longevity and Plague.”

"Everything was going smoothly at first. Neither the sorcerers who were the secret disciples of the Medicine King nor the strange beasts they controlled were a match for us."

"But not long after, the brothers and sisters in the team suddenly started indiscriminately killing each other, friend or foe..."

On March 7th, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Have they fallen into the clutches of demonic possession?"

Yunqi sighed:

"But they are still my compatriots."

"The people of the Immortal Ship are most averse to revealing their demonic form to others, because that means giving up their humanity, losing to the evil creature buried in the bloodline of immortality... and also violating the Emperor's instructions."
