Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Brother Yan Huan, aren't you going to go and test your verbal skills with Fu Qing?"

Yan scratched his thigh:

"I wanted to show off too, but Danheng dragged me here."

Dan Heng stared at Jing Yuan and said in a deep voice:

"The general's presence here at this moment... is probably not just for leisurely sightseeing."

"Could it be... that the general also wants to persuade me to give up my audience with the Dragon Emperor?"

"Haha, what does that have to do with me?" Jing Yuan laughed.

"Actually, I'm not here just to see the sea, but because I'm being cared for by the Dragon Maiden and recuperating at the Pill Cauldron Department. I just happened to run into you two."

"Since you've asked this question, it seems someone has already made contact before the trip?"

"That's right," Yan retorted.

"It's just a meeting, and they act like it's the death of them!"

Jing Yuan lowered his head and smiled faintly:

"It concerns the rise and fall of the Vidyadhara clan, so those with ulterior motives will naturally want to influence it. This is true of Danfeng, the Dragon Masters, and even the Dan Ding Si, which trains the Dragon Maidens."

Dan Heng frowned slightly:

"General Jingyuan is recuperating here, so he knows exactly who we have met."

Listening to the gentle sound of the ocean waves, Jing Yuan smiled faintly:

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite someone. How about I help you two figure out the intentions of these people?"

Seeing that the two had no objections, Jingyuan continued his analysis:

"Elder Chiming hopes to choose another Dragon Lord. The power struggle between the Dragon Master and the Dragon Lord has been ongoing since ancient times."

"But when it came to Danfeng's turn, he was so powerful that he completely broke free from the elders' constraints, leaving them angry but unable to speak out."

"Originally, the elders still had a say in the matter of succeeding the Dragon Lord. But Danfeng chose his own successor. Since it's a fait accompli, they can only accept the result."

"Now that Danheng has returned, the elders have seen another opportunity. How can they let it slip by?"

"How dare you!" Yan exclaimed.

"They dared to go this far! Death penalty! Death penalty for all of them!"

"Haha, we outsiders have no way of judging the rules of the Vidyadhara clan."

"Aren't you a general? Isn't Luofu the highest-ranking?"

"No, no, no, it's just relatively large. Besides, this is Chiming's family matter. I'm still an outsider. The Dragon Master has been suppressed for a long time, so it's inevitable that he'll make some small moves."

Jing Yuan continued his analysis:

"As for the Dan Ding Division, they hope that the Dragon Lord will remain Bai Lu."

“These people consider themselves the orthodox ones. They believe that Bailu was personally chosen as the successor by the previous Dragon Lord, and that the Dragon Masters have no right to choose another unless she makes a serious mistake.”

"The Dragon Maiden carrying medicine possesses both the appearance of a dragon and incredible healing abilities. Some see this as proof of her status as a Dragon Lord, but the Dragon Master elders, who believe in power, are unwilling to accept it..."

"And after this 'reincarnation of Danfeng' before you commanded the vast waters of the Boyue Ancient Sea, those who defend the 'Dragon Lord's orthodoxy' will probably be even more uneasy."

Jingyuan held his arms in his lap:

"After Danfeng abdicated, they have been working hard to resist the Dragon Lord and maintain Bailu's dignity. These people will probably not give up easily."

Yan stroked his chin and looked at Jing Yuan:

"So, General, what do you think?"

"How am I supposed to see it? I'll just have to stand there and watch," Jing Yuan said helplessly.

"This is simply the internal affairs of the Chiming sect. As long as it does not harm the peace of Luofu, what opinion could General Yunqi possibly have?"

Immediately, he looked at Dan Heng:

"But as a friend, I still want to offer a word of advice."

"As long as Danheng, who possesses the power of the Dragon Lord, and Bailu, who possesses the title of the Dragon Lord, stand side by side on Luofu, the internal conflict within Chiming will not cease... even though it is not your fault."

Yan nodded slightly and translated to Dan Heng, "Jing Yuan told you to get lost."

"...?" Jing Yuan gave an awkward smile:

"That's not what I meant, Brother Yan Huan, you've misunderstood me. I was just stating the facts objectively."

"It's getting late. Weren't you planning to go to Lin Yuan Realm to repair the Jianmu seal and visit that Dragon Lord along the way? Let's hurry up and go. I also need to rest and recover."

Dan Heng nodded and led Yan Huan down the pier.

Jing Yuan watched the two walk away, and sighed softly, "Sigh..."

Several Cloud Riders hurriedly ran over, clasped their hands in greeting, and reported to Jing Yuan:

"Reporting to the General, we have just captured a total of sixteen members of the Medicine King's secret lineage! What should we do with them?"

"?"

"Huh? The secret teachings of the Medicine King?"

Jing Yuan was completely bewildered:

"How did you all find time to investigate the secret teachings of the Medicine King? And you even managed to arrest so many people."

"Reporting to the General, we have carefully investigated all the physicians identified by Lord Yan Huan along the way and discovered that they are indeed undercover agents from the Medicine King's secret lineage!"

The cloud rider was drenched in sweat:

"Moreover, Lord Yan Huan said that our Dan Ding Si on Luofu is a large-scale training base for the secret teachings of the Medicine King!"

"……what?"

"General, the former head alchemist of the Alchemy Bureau, Dan Shu, was also the master of the Medicine King's secret teachings!"

"I know that... but wasn't she arrested?"

"...Anyway," Jing Yuan said helplessly, covering his forehead with one hand.

“Let’s interrogate those arrested doctors again. We can’t really assume that whoever Brother Yan Huan calls out is an undercover agent. There must be some oversights in this matter, so you need to be more careful.”

"Yes, we'll go and check it eleventh time right away."

"...?"

……

And the other side.

The Dan Ding Division is located at the ferry crossing near Lin Yuan Realm.

A woman with insight had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing Yan Huan and Dan Heng approaching, she politely said:

"Lord Danheng, now that you're here, have you made a decision?"

"Should we meet with the elders first, or... go see Miss Bailu?"

Dan Heng pondered for a moment, then replied:

"Miss Bailu has been waiting in Lin Yuan Realm for a long time."

"..." Huanxi pursed her lips.

If you choose to meet the Dragon Master, the latter will definitely strongly recommend that Dan Heng take over the position of Dragon Lord.

The fact that Dan Heng didn't go shows that he still doesn't want to be the Dragon Lord.

"Your stubbornness does indeed bear some resemblance to Danfeng's."

……

"Sorry...you can't go anywhere!" came a group of men shouting from behind.

"?" Yan turned around curiously; it was a group of Ming clan members.

"A sinner who has severed the lineage is unworthy to step into the holy land of the Vidyadhara clan!" a Vidyadhara man shouted angrily.

Facing the angry group, Huanxi stepped forward and explained:

"Gentlemen, Mr. Danheng's entry into the Scale Abyss Realm has already been approved by the Six Emperors and the Dragon Master Elders. Moreover, he is no longer the sinner he once was..."

"A silver tongue indeed! Whether he is the sinner or not, we'll find out soon enough! Even if he isn't, the Vidyadhara clan will not tolerate such a monster!"

Seeing the group closing in, Dan Heng finally sighed and stepped forward.

……

"Prepare to die, Danfeng!"

About five seconds passed.

Those members of the Chiming clan were knocked to the ground by Danheng.

"..." General Yan Ke'as commented:

"Awesome! Commendable courage!"

"Cough cough..." The man on the ground weakly extended his finger, pointing at Dan Heng:

"You clearly said that Danfeng has been reincarnated and reborn... still retaining the Dragon Lord power of that sinner, so how can you talk about being reborn?!"

Chapter 336 Miss Bailu, those around you are all spies

Seeing that Dan Heng had driven those people away, Huanxi's face showed worry:

"Staying here any longer will only increase the risk. Shall we get up immediately? I wonder if Lord Danheng would be willing to accompany me to meet the elder after his audience?"

"If I wish to meet with the Dragon Master, I will ask Miss Huanxi to convey my request."

"..."
