Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"You two have returned to the Immortal Ship after so long, yet you always seem to be in awkward situations. If you truly care about our past relationship, you should have informed me sooner."

Ren said in a deep voice, "I have done what I needed to do."

Jingyuan nodded, glanced at Kafka, and then his gaze returned to Ren:

"You've done Xianzhou a small favor, and I'm very grateful. Take this person with you; this time, I can pretend I didn't see anything."

Upon hearing that Jing Yuan was actually going to let two Star Core Hunters go, Yan Qing immediately stood up:

"General?! This...!"

Jing Yuan glanced at Yan Qing and gently shook his head:

"Now is not the time to talk about that."

Having received permission to leave, Blade and Kafka easily made their way away.

After the two left, Jing Yuan looked at Dan Heng and smiled: "Long time no see... old friend."

"I am not him." To Jing Yuan's surprise, Dan Heng was extremely resolute.

"Um... okay, sorry."

"Your friend is still waiting for you in the Scaled Abyss Realm. Shall we go and see him together?"

……

Dan Heng followed Jing Yuan and walked into the interior of Lin Yuan Realm.

Looking at the scene before him, Jing Yuan recited:

"The ancient Boyue Sea is a magnificent and wondrous place. The scenery of Linyuan Realm is exactly the same as when I last saw it, unchanged."

"But now, you and I, standing here, are different. It is clear that even immortal beings with indestructible bodies cannot stand alongside heaven and earth."

Dan Heng answered calmly:

"General, you should know the nature of the Vidyadhara's cycle of rebirth. The waters of the ancient sea have already cleansed 'Danfeng' of his sins. Those who stood here with you back then are no longer here."

He picked up his briefcase, took a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice to Jing Yuan behind him:

"I am Dan Heng. Whether Dan Feng is a hero or a sinner is none of my business."

“I have already borne his punishment and accepted eternal exile without complaint, but when you look at me, General, please be sure to discard the shadows of the past.”

"..." Jing Yuan lowered his head slightly, and said with a sigh:

"Revisiting the past is like stirring up a muddy pool, only causing unpleasantness."

"Perhaps it's your appearance... perhaps it's those dragon horns, the vaguely regal aura of a dragon, that always makes me connect you with someone from the past."

"..." Dan Heng pursed his lips. "I've already said..."

“Yes, you said so.” Jing Yuan interrupted Dan Heng:

"But so what? If you could change someone’s attitude toward you with just one sentence, there wouldn’t be so much conflict in the world."

"If you want me to stop seeing you as Danfeng, fine, but you have to do one thing for me."

"As Danfeng... do me one last favor. Once this is over, I will let him die and rescind the banishment order against you."

“From now on, I can guarantee that, at least on Luofu Mountain, you will no longer be anyone’s shadow.”

Dan Heng frowned slightly at Jing Yuan's words: "Now I finally understand why Yan Huan and San Yue like to scold you so much."

Dan Heng pondered for a moment, then looked at Jing Yuan:

"What Danfeng can do, I may not be able to do."

No, you must do it.

Jing Yuan's expression was serious:

“Otherwise, all promises will be null and void. Blame your past life if you want. If he hadn’t done that bastard back then, if the power of dragon transformation could be passed on completely, I wouldn’t have needed to force you at all.”

A gentle sea breeze blew by, ruffling their hair.

Jing Yuan's eyes dimmed:

"As I said before: you and I standing here today are different. Danfeng is no more, only Danheng remains. And I... am now General Luofu."

"There are some things that you have to do even if you don't want to."

After a relieved laugh, Jing Yuan crossed his arms and looked Dan Heng up and down:

"Let's talk about something more pleasant. The friends you made on the train are here now, wouldn't you like to meet them?"

“I knew it, you brought them here.” Dan Heng narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, it's right there in front of the Xianlong Great Rain Hall." Jing Yuan smiled.

"Come on, your friends are waiting for you."

The two walked together toward the Xianlong Dayu Hall.

The road was littered with the corpses of many antimatter legions.

"So many remains of illusory soldiers... it seems Yan Huan and San Yue really did encounter the Great Lord of Annihilation." Dan Heng stared at the corpses and said in a deep voice.

"Heh, so you already knew." Jing Yuan also looked at the remains of the illusory soldiers:

"I was wary of the Abundant Spawn, the Star Core Hunter, and the Secret Teachings of the Medicine King... but no matter how much I planned, I never expected that even the Great Lord of Annihilation would come to the Immortal Ship."

"The hunt is not over yet, and now we have to fight against the demons... Hmph, after this battle, whether Luofu exists or not, the Alliance will fight the Legion to the death."

Looking at the many corpses of the antimatter legion, Jing Yuan recalled the past:

"Do you know? Back then, when Danfeng committed a serious crime, the Ten Kings Division strongly advocated for your destruction. As for Chiming, half agreed and half opposed. Haha, because the Dragon Transformation Inheritance was only half completed. Elder Chiming hated you to the extreme, but dared not kill you."

"In order to give an explanation to the Ten Kings Bureau and the Sky Ship Bureau, under pressure, they still performed the forced scale removal technique on Danfeng."

Jing Yuan smiled and said:

"However, they deliberately left flaws."

Chapter 306 We're Not Familiar

"The elder thought he could keep it from the Ten Kings' Division. Hmph, what a wishful thinking, but the truth will eventually come out..."

Dan Heng ignored Jing Yuan's words and silently walked forward.

The latter kept mentioning the past, perhaps out of helplessness, or perhaps to try and awaken Danheng's memories.

But Danheng's expression remained unchanged.

Besides the corpses of the antimatter legion, many luminous mirages were calling to him from all around.

"The waters of the ancient sea cleanse my heart; the waters of the ancient sea heal my body." A woman's ethereal voice rang out:

"May all the good karma of this life be fully realized; may all the bad karma of this life be completely eradicated."

"..."

Dan Heng remained silent, carrying his suitcase and walking straight ahead.

Neither Jing Yuan nor Chi Ming Shen Ying could slow his pace.

Finally, he stepped onto the stairs, and a familiar figure appeared in the dilapidated corridor ahead.

Fu Xuan, Yan Huan, San Yueqi, and Walter were standing with their backs to Dan Heng.

Ahead of them, a large army of antimatter forces was eyeing them covetously.

“Look, your friends are fighting against the legion’s minions…” Jing Yuan laughed.

……

"Uncle Yang, this place really is full of antimatter legions! That Huanlong really did run inside!"

March 7th, clutching her hair, was very annoyed:

"Damn, the back is completely submerged in seawater, how did she even get in there?!"

Fu Xuan said in a deep voice:

“Illusory has no physical form, so crossing the ancient sea is easy for him, but we are different.”

Yan raised an eyebrow:

"That's the benefit of not being human!"

Walter: "..."

Looking at the heavily guarded antimatter legion before him, March 7th glanced at the two combat leaders beside him:

"Uncle Yang, Yan, it's up to you guys... Let's make a show of ourselves while we can!"

"What are you pretending for? I've lost my star core, what am I pretending for? I can't even run as fast as you guys now."

Yan Huan waved her hand and looked helplessly at March 7: "Hey, your bow is pretty good, why don't you let me use it?"

"Pah!" March 7th spat out.

"I won't let you touch it. Besides, do you even have arrows? Go hit me with your bow!"

"also."

"..."

March 7 rolled her eyes and turned to Walter: "Uncle Yang, let's not play with this idiot anymore, you'd better hurry up."

"..." Unexpectedly, Walter also shook his head:

"March. At the very moment Yan Huan lost his Star Core, the Herrscher Core he had given me exploded inside my body. I... I need time to recover."

"Damn, I completely forgot about that!"

March 7th's eyes widened.

Does that mean that all four people here are old, weak, sick, or disabled?

What's the point of fighting then?

"What are you still doing here? Run!!" March 7th grabbed Yan's collar, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and then said to Walter:
