Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

I think so.

He took out his phone, opened Su Chang's chat window, and sent a message.

"Su Chang, where are you?"

I waited for a while, but there was no reply.

"Still half asleep?"

He muttered something to himself and put his phone away.

"Let's go find her later."

On the high platform, Jing Yuan cleared his throat. The audience fell silent, all eyes fixed on the white-haired general.

"Everyone!"

Jingyuan's voice was amplified throughout the entire battleship via the sound-amplifying array.

"Today, the Luofu Immortal Ship welcomes the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony. This is a grand event for the Immortal Ship Alliance and an honor for Luofu."

The audience erupted in applause.

After the applause subsided slightly, Jingyuan and the others continued.

"Thank you to all the guests from the various celestial ships, thank you to our company colleagues, thank you to the passengers of the Starry Sky Train, and thank you to everyone who has contributed to Luofu..."

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jing Yuan hereby announces that the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony is officially..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

His voice suddenly stopped, his body swayed, the smile on his face froze, and then he fell straight down like a piece of chopped wood.

"boom--!"

The general's robes were spread out on the ground, his white hair was loose, his eyes were closed, and he remained motionless.

Silver Wolf stared expressionlessly at the platform, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"...The dizziness was very layered."

Lin Si glanced at her in surprise.

"You can tell?"

"I am stating the facts."

The audience fell silent for a moment.

That moment was so brief, so short it lasted only as long as the time it takes for one heartbeat.

then......

"General!"

Someone shouted, the voice was sharp and bright, as if someone had grabbed their neck.

Then came the second, the third, the tenth, and the hundredth sound. Exclamations, screams, the sound of chairs falling over, and the sound of the crowd surging all mingled together, like a pot of boiling water.

Fu Xuan stood on one side of the high platform, only a few steps away from Jing Yuan.

The moment she saw Jingyuan fall, her pupils contracted sharply—a very convincing performance—she waved her small hand, her voice crisp and bright, drowning out all the noise.

"The general has been murdered. Seal off the entire area!"

Her voice echoed beneath the dome of the battleship, and diviners from the Taibu Si (a military organization) surged forth from all directions. Cloud Cavalry charged in from various entrances, spears in hand, the clanging of armor echoing throughout the air.

One person was running so fast that he almost tripped over his own foot. He stumbled a couple of steps, regained his balance, and continued running.

The audience erupted in uproar.

Some people stood up, some stepped back, and some stood still with their mouths open and their eyes wide open, as if they had been paralyzed.

Some people cried, some covered their mouths tightly, and some shouted.

"impossible!"

"How could the general possibly be in trouble!"

"There must be a mistake!"

An old man stood up from his seat and called out in a trembling voice,

"General Jingyuan! How will I live without you!"

The people next to him quickly pulled him back.

"Sir, the general is not dead yet!"

"He's not dead? Then how did he collapse?"

"Falling down doesn't mean you're dead, sir!"

Bai Heng's fox ears suddenly stood up, and she stiffened for a moment, but quickly relaxed. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, then fell back down, then curved slightly again.

"Why does it feel like acting?"

Mirror Flow nodded.

"It was definitely an act."

Yingxing stood behind them, arms crossed, expressionless.

But the corner of his mouth was twitching slightly; he was trying to suppress a laugh.

The broken sword hummed behind him, the dark patterns on its scabbard flashing wildly, as if asking, "Why aren't you smiling yet?"

Ying Xing took a deep breath and suppressed the smile.

Yun Li stood up from the steps, dropping the candied hawthorn in her hand to the ground. She looked at the fallen figure on the platform and was about to rush forward to check on Jing Yuan's condition when Bai Lu tugged at her sleeve.

"Yun Li, the general's acting is so convincing."

Yun Li looked down at her.

"play?"

"Of course."

Bai Lu whispered.

"The most important things for a doctor are observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. I see that the general's breathing is steady and there is nothing seriously wrong. Even if he has fainted, drinking more hot water will do the trick."

Yun Li's lips twitched.

"........."

Yanqing stood beside Lin Si, his hand already on the hilt of his sword. His gaze was fixed on the fallen figure on the platform, his lips pressed into a thin line.

But his fingers, resting on the hilt of the sword, were trembling slightly.

"Lin Si..."

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

"The general, he..."

Lin Si glanced at him.

"Laugh if you want to."

Yanqing took a deep breath.

"...I held back."

Silver Wolf stared expressionlessly at the platform.

"Are all you people from the Immortal Ship fleet such good actors?"

Lin thought for a moment.

"Maybe it's because I've lived a long time and developed this skill."

Huang Quan nodded.

"I think it's good."

Chapter 248 The Entry of the Great Lord of Annihilation

In a corner of Golden Man Alley, Scott stood deep inside the alley, but the person controlling this body was no longer him.

His eyes turned a ghostly green, his pupils bulged, and a smile that didn't belong to him played on his lips.

His tail floated in mid-air, and Huo Huo lay on the ground behind him with her eyes closed, breathing steadily. There was a hint of worry on her little face, as if she was still worried about something in her dream.

Su Chang, Li Su Chang, Gui Nai Fen, Xing, and San Yue Qi were lying haphazardly on the ground. Some were leaning against the wall, some were lying on the ground, and some were lying on their backs. They were all unconscious, but their faces were peaceful.

"That arrogant fragment of the Wildfire?"

The voice of the illusion came from Scott's mouth, looking down at the tail with a hint of sarcasm.

"Hiding in the fox-man's tail as a watchdog?"

The flames on its tail suddenly leaped.

"I thought it was some wandering ghost, but I didn't expect it to be you, Huanlong."

His voice was muffled, carrying a disdainful tone that seemed to say, "I saw right through you a long time ago."

The story begins last night.

Because of Huo Huo's insistence, Su Chang and the others blocked Scott for the entire night.

Seeing that it was getting light, Scott felt he couldn't delay any longer and finally had Huo Huo and the others start the cargo situation monitoring.

The illusion's disguise was naturally exposed in front of the tail.

The moment Huanlong appeared, she took control of Su Chang and San Yueqi, among others.

The movements were so fast that they didn't even have time to react before they collapsed limply to the ground.

Huanlong chuckled softly.

"Thanks to you, my plan was exposed ahead of schedule."

She paused, tilting her head to look at her tail.

"I'm giving you two choices: live or die?"

Tail-Big Master glanced at the unconscious crowd around him, then looked Scott, who was being controlled by Illusion, up and down, and chuckled.

"Your plan? Your plan is to possess such an extraordinary being?"

His tone carried a sense of astonishment, as if to say, "I've truly seen something amazing."

"Aren't you ashamed? I've never seen anything like this before."

"........."

Huanlong's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

She chuckled softly, suppressing her awkwardness.

"I can break your seal, and I can also take you to integrate the other fragments of the Wildfire, so that you can truly be revived."

Tail glanced at Huo Huo and remained silent for a while.

"...What are the conditions?"

"Help me sink the Luofu Immortal Ship."

"You've long wanted to test your skills against the current general, haven't you?"

The tail fell silent again.

His firelight flickered, as if he were thinking about something.

Huanlong could tell that he was trying to stall for time, but she wasn't in a hurry.

"hehe."

Huanlong chuckled softly, crossing her arms.

"Solitary fellows care about the life and death of their companions? I might as well let them go for now."

Upon hearing this, the flames dimmed slightly.
