Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

"Bai Heng!!!"

Cheng Xiao roared in shock and anger, attracting curious glances from passersby.

The chaos in Luofu disappeared, and Cheng Xiao looked around in confusion after shouting.

Only the note in his hand continued to flutter in the wind, telling him that none of this was a lie.

Starting over is like clicking "try again" after failing a game, and riding back to the starting point.

An indescribable joy and relief surged in my heart, but this was followed by gloom and depression.

The note was crumpled into a ball in Cheng Xiao's hand. He was furious, more furious than ever before!

Even if this is a game world created by Ahha, it is still Bai Heng, inside and out, without a doubt. How can he accept Bai Heng dying before his eyes?

The rules state that if Bai Heng dies, the game is lost, but why did it start again? Shouldn't Xiao Ha be very happy to see him lose?

Cheng Xiao took a deep breath. It didn't matter anymore; the game was no longer important.

All he wants to do now is protect Bai Heng... no, he wants to protect Luo Fu once again, and he will never let the tragic sacrifices from the original story happen again!

Cheng Xiao did not act rashly; he chose to go directly to the General's Mansion.

"I'm not a free spirit."

"Then please show it..." Before the Yunqi soldier could finish speaking, his gaze suddenly went blank, and he obediently stepped aside.

"[Sheep], I'm sorry, you'll have to sleep for a while."

Cheng Xiao passed through all the guards and entered the general's mansion. Teng Xiao's figure sat quietly on the desk like a pillar. There was no laughter and chatter with Wang Xu, because Wang Xu was already dead. There was no bickering with Yao Feng, because Yao Feng was also dead.

Teng Xiao was already very old; he was too old, and at this moment he looked like an old man in his twilight years, numbly reviewing the documents.

His chaotic spirit was lifeless, sustained only by vigilance against lurking dangers and his obsession with cultivating the next generation of successors.

"General Ding'an, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Teng Xiao frowned and put down his wolf-hair brush. His cloudy eyes stared at Cheng Xiao. Even though he didn't say anything, an overwhelming martial arts killing intent pressed down on his shoulders.

Who are you?

"Isn't the general curious how I got in?"

"Now that we're here, you've probably dealt with the Cloud Cavalry outside; as for infiltration, heh heh, I'm just old, not dead!"

"General Teng Xiao, my name is Cheng Xiao."

"Cheng Xiao? I've never heard of that name before. What brings you here, uninvited guest?"

"To be frank, I'm here to help Luofu. Soon, I'll be leading an army of monstrous creatures to launch a surprise attack on Luofu."

"You're quite outspoken. Judging from your clothes, you're also from the Immortal Ship? Why should this general believe you?" Teng Xiao finally became a little interested.

"A person of unknown origin suddenly claims to help Luofu deal with Shuhu, and even says that Shuhu will launch a surprise attack on Luofu. Are you some kind of madman? Or are you just trying to create a mystery? But since you dare to say that, you must have a way to gain my trust, right?"

Teng Xiao wasn't in a hurry; he was curious about how Cheng Xiao would persuade him.

"Then please witness my methods, General." Cheng Xiao made a hand seal, which was Wang Xu's divination method.

Then the Breaking Light Sword appeared, and Cheng Xiao began to wield it, using Yao Feng's sword skills, which were concise and sharp.

Teng Xiao's expression finally changed: "This...who exactly are you?!"

"I am Yaofeng's apprentice and Wangxu's student."

"Impossible! If such a person truly existed, how could I not know about him?"

"General, of course you wouldn't know, because I don't belong to this world."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"General, do you believe me?"

"You bastard, how could I possibly believe you? You're even more suspicious and a bigger threat than I thought!" Teng Xiao stared at Cheng Xiao with a wary gaze.

"I don't need your logic, General. You are the hunter's angel. This time, I ask you to look at me with your hunter's intuition."

"Are you kidding me! I..."

Before Teng Xiao could finish speaking, he froze.

The creature before him exuded a strong hunting aura, and could even be said to be more powerful than him, a celestial general.

As if the Emperor himself had designated him, the hunting forces not only did not wary of him, but even the Divine Lord extended a friendly gesture.

Something's not right, this is unbelievable.

Such favor from the Emperor is something that perhaps only a marshal could barely match.

"Hmph...Alright, I can trust you. So what are you going to do? If anything goes wrong, I'll kill you immediately!"

As Cheng Xiao approached, a [Sheep] talisman appeared in his hand.

"General, this contains some memories. Would you please take a look at it yourself?"

Teng Xiao accepted it with some skepticism. Memories? Neither Liu Guang Yi Ting nor Fen Hua Gong had ever seen anything like this. Could this guy be a person with [Memories]?

But then came the bleating of a sheep, and Teng Xiao's soul seemed to enter a new world, where he instantly experienced another Teng Xiao's story.

Silence fell over the general's mansion. After a long while, Teng Xiao shed a tear, but the smile on his lips wouldn't fade away.

"Oh, I see. How so... how delightful! I wish everything were really like this..."

The old general, who was originally imposing and dignified, seemed to have been revitalized, and even his spirits became lively.

"If I really retired, and then spent my days fishing and drinking with that old rascal Wang Xu, that would be such a blissful life. I can't even imagine it."

"General, this is not a memory, but everything that truly happened! Do you believe me now?"

I believe you.

"General...you really believe it?"

"Hahaha, hunting kids are the least likely to lie, you little rascal!"

Teng Xiao regained his memory of the sudden attack and began to deploy defenses according to Cheng Xiao's advice.

"Cheng Xiao, do you want to contact the Five Heroes of the Clouds?" Teng Xiao was a little embarrassed because in the other world, the Five Heroes of the Clouds were all women, which was quite a difference.

"No need. Just protect Luofu. Letting the Five Heroes of the Clouds know of my existence will only increase suspicion and trouble."

"I understand. You can stay at the General's Mansion for the time being. I will arrange temporary accommodation for you."

"Thank you for your trouble, General."

After gaining Teng Xiao's trust, Cheng Xiao began to secretly observe Yun Wu's movements.

They were in high spirits during this period, as if the five of them together were invincible and unbeatable.

Cheng Xiao watched quietly from afar, feeling both gratified and worried. As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall. The Five Heroes of the Clouds met their most devastating blow at the height of their power, shattering all their spirits and leaving only the dust of the past and useless medals.

The remaining four enjoyed... the praise that Bai Heng earned with his life.

This kind of honor is a disgrace, a pain and hatred etched into history, an indelible wound, a scar written in books for others to fabricate.
