You want me to play the Foehn wind? Are you kidding me?

After finishing speaking, Huanlong quickly disappeared into the depths of the Lin Yuan Realm.

The bow of March 7th is still raised, but the arrowhead has not found its target.

She stared blankly in the direction where Huanlong had disappeared, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"What...what is she doing?"

Jing Yuan did not answer immediately.

His gaze remained fixed on the direction where Huanlong had disappeared.

After a long while, he slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the crowd behind him.

"She didn't run away..."

Walter adjusted his glasses.

"Integrating Jianmu?"

Jing Yuan nodded.

His expression remained calm, but the faint gravity between his brows was even more pronounced than before.

He looked around at the ruins, and the roots that had been suppressed by Dan Heng's dragon power began to slowly wriggle again.

He took out the jade tablet and glanced at it.

There were two unread messages on the screen. He opened them, scanned them, and then put them away.

"Feixiao and the others will be here soon."

Not long after, three figures quickly walked down the stone steps.

Feixiao walked at the front, his steps steady and fast.

Huaiyan followed closely behind, while Yaoguang brought up the rear.

Feixiao stopped in front of Jingyuan, his gaze quickly sweeping over everyone present.

Star, Danheng, March 7th, Walter.

She didn't ask any further questions and spoke directly.

"How's the situation now?"

"Another Great Lord of Annihilation has been added..."

Feixiao frowned.

"What happened?"

Jingyuan explained the current situation to the three generals who had just arrived.

"What about Huanlong?"

"Inside the Jianmu tree."

Jingyuan's voice was steady, but he spoke a little faster than usual.

"She's already integrated... We must sever her connection with Jianmu before she completely takes over, otherwise..."

Feixiao frowned slightly.

"How long will it take to take over completely?"

"Half an hour at most."

Huaiyan walked to the edge of the ruins and looked down at the wriggling roots at his feet.

He crouched down, hovering his fingertips half an inch above the roots for a moment, then stood up and turned to look at the crowd.

"The Jianmu tree is growing faster than any document I've ever seen... Huanlong's power of the sun is acting as a catalyst inside the Jianmu tree. She is no longer parasitizing the Jianmu tree... She is becoming the will of the Jianmu tree."

Huaiyan paused, then raised his wrinkled eyes.

"In other words, when we attack Jianmu, we are attacking her. Even if she is injured, she can draw nourishment from Jianmu to heal instantly. Unless someone can sever her connection with Xuangen from the inside, this battle will never end."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Dan Heng.

Dan Heng stood on one side of the ruins, leaning against a broken pillar.

He felt those gazes, paused for a moment, and then spoke.

"I can give it a try."

"It's not about trying."

Jing Yuan's voice came from the side, not loud, but with a certain undeniable force.

"It is absolutely possible."

Dan Heng glanced at him.

The two exchanged a glance, and Dan Heng did not refute, but simply nodded slightly.

Feixiao walked up to Jingyuan at this moment, lowering his voice.

"The marshal won't arrive for another hour. What are your plans now?"

Jing Yuan began to look around.

His gaze swept back and forth twice between the layout of the ruins, the growth direction of the Jianmu Xuan Gen, and the residual dragon power luster on Dan Heng's body.

He spoke after a moment, his voice clear and decisive.

"It's divided into two layers. The outer layer will be handled by Feixiao and General Huaiyan, to block the Jianmu roots from spreading outwards and prevent the ancient seawater of Lin Yuan Realm from flowing back in and being blocked. As for Yao Guang... I'll trouble you to help from the rear for now. The inner layer..."

(P.S.: I really can't figure out where to put Yao Guang. Please be kind with your comments. The three of them are just temporarily staying outside.)

He looked at Danheng.

"With Dan Heng leading the way, we will cut in from directly below the sea eye and approach the core of the Xuan Root. Huan Long will definitely be waiting for us in the very center there."

Yao Guang stepped forward. Her voice was softer than the others, but her reasoning was exceptionally clear.

"The problem is that even if we get close to the core, we need a plan that can simultaneously attack Huanlong and suppress Jianmu..."

Single-target attacks are ineffective against the fused entity; we must simultaneously sever Illusion's control over Jianmu and Jianmu's supply to Illusion.

She paused for a moment, her gaze falling on Dan Heng.

"The power of the Vidyadhara Dragon is the only one that shares the same origin as and can counteract the power of the Jianmu Tree. Mr. Danheng, if you were to unleash your full dragon power at its core, how long could you sustain it?"

Dan Heng remained silent for a moment.

"...I don't know. But I'll hold on until I can't anymore."

On March 7th, he finally couldn't help but chime in.

"Hey, after all this discussion, can't you come up with a... safer way? Danheng already used up a lot of energy opening the sea, and now you want him to rush to the innermost part..."

Xing also spoke up.

"Yes, Danheng."

"March, Stars".

Dan Heng spoke, but his voice was not loud.

Dan Heng looked at them, a hint of tenderness in his eyes covered by azure light.

"It's fine."

March 7th's lips moved, but she ultimately didn't say anything more.

Xing then turned to look at Walter.

Walter adjusted his glasses.

"Star, March, it's alright. I'll step in when it matters."

……

Jing Yuan glanced around at everyone.

"Any more questions?"

Feixiao shook his head.

Huaiyan didn't speak, but simply placed his hand on the weapon at his waist as a response.

Yao Guang took a step back, indicating that he had nothing to add.

Jing Yuan withdrew his gaze.

"Then let's set off. Those in the outer layer, guard the entrance; those in the inner layer, follow me."

He took a step, then paused, turning his head to look at Dan Heng.

"Walk next to me."

Danheng didn't ask why.

He stepped forward and stood beside Jing Yuan.

The two walked side by side toward Jianmu Xuangen, with the rest of the train crew behind them.

There were also the sounds of footsteps from the other three generals dispersing.

Jingyuan and Danheng stepped side by side into the area covered by the Jianmu tree.

The stone steps beneath our feet have completely disappeared in this area.

March 7th followed a few steps behind the two, taking each step very carefully.

Xing stood beside her, gripping a baseball bat tightly in his hand.

Walter walked at the back of the group, adjusting his glasses every now and then. His pace was more leisurely than the others, but his gaze kept wandering around.

They walked for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

The surrounding light grew brighter and brighter.

Then, a voice rang out from all directions.

The voice carried Huanlong's unique intonation.

It was gentle, tender, and carried just the right amount of concern, but at this moment it sounded unsettling.

"Oh dear, you've really come in. I haven't finished dressing yet!"

March 7th's pace paused.

She raised her bow instantly, the arrow spinning rapidly, but without locking onto any target.

"Where are you?!"

"My benefactor~ I'm everywhere~"

Huanlong's voice was tinged with laughter.
