Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

..........

In a quiet alley, Lin Yuan and Bai Yueji walked one after the other.

The stars twinkled brightly in the sky, but the alley was dimly lit, making it difficult to see clearly.

"We're almost there, we'll be there very soon."

Bai Yueji laughed from the front, then suddenly noticed that the footsteps behind her had stopped.

"What are you doing....."

He turned around and saw Lin Yuan's gaze fixed on the scattered piles of junk in the alley.

At that moment, a soft rustling sound could be heard coming from inside.

What was that sound?

Bai Yueji narrowed his eyes slightly, walked slowly to the groceries, and gently kicked it.

"Meow--"

A snow-white figure, accompanied by a startled cry, rushed out like a phantom. Upon closer inspection, the two realized it was a white cat.

"Damn, that scared me!"

As if frightened by such a small thing, an irrefutable malice suddenly appeared in Bai Yueji's eyes.

He stared at the white cat with its fur standing on end, his fingers trembling involuntarily as he slowly approached it.

The cat was quite intelligent; sensing the danger, it retreated.

Bai Yueji hurried a few steps, only to find that the cat had already leaned against Lin Yuan's legs.

"Hehe, White Rose, why are you arguing with a kitten?"

Lin Yuan's gaze was gentle, and a sympathetic smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Bai Yueji pursed her lips, thinking to herself:

"He can't even bring himself to harm a small animal. Looks like he's another useless person without any qualifications. But... even useless people have their uses."

Using the shadows as cover, he gently raised his head, his gaze instantly shifting from fierce to calm.

“The guest is right, let’s hurry on our way,” he said with a smile.

"Tsk, I'm a bit tired today, let's go another day."

Lin Yuan nudged the kitten with his foot, watching it roll around at his feet, his smile unchanged.

Are you kidding me?

Bai Yueji's expression suddenly darkened as she stared intently at Lin Yuan.

"We risked great danger to come and help you, but do you know what will happen to us if we are discovered by the Cloud Cavalry?"

Seeing Lin Yuan's nonchalant attitude, he calmed down instead.

"Fool! I was originally going to give you a chance to ascend to immortality together, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid! Now that we're here, do you think you still have a choice?"

Undisguised malice emanated from his face as the man grinned maliciously as he stepped forward.

"This is a great place. Why don't we give you a ride from here?"

"Go."

Lin Yuan lightly pushed off with his foot, and the kitten darted away.

He slowly raised his face, meeting Bai Yueji's gaze.

The latter was suddenly taken aback upon seeing this.

Lin Yuan's gaze remained as gentle as before. It was as if... the white cat and he were no different in each other's eyes.

But that smile seemed even colder and more penetrating than his.

"You're right."

Lin Yuan said softly.

"This is a good place... as your final resting place."

He raised his index finger.

A glimmer of light appeared at the fingertips, and the entire alleyway was dazzling for a moment!

"what!"

Heart-wrenching screams echoed all around, and Bai Yueji's pupils suddenly contracted.

His forward-rushing figure crashed to the ground, and in that instant, his entire right leg, along with part of his body, turned to ashes.

"you you!"

The man lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Footsteps slowly approached from ahead, like the tolling of a death knell.

At that very moment, the sound of a sword rang out!

A dazzling sword light descended from the sky, and a graceful figure landed, standing horizontally in front of him.

"I am Yan Qing, a valiant guard of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry! Stop right there!"

The clear, youthful voice echoed through the streets and alleys.

.............

Chapter 182 Young man, have you ever lost?

"I am Yan Qing, a valiant guard of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry! Stop right there!"

A clear voice echoed through the alley, and Lin Yuan's figure emerged from the shadows ahead.

The light and shadow played on his face, making his expression unreadable.

With his longsword drawn, Yanqing raised it and pointed it into the distance.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Bai Yueji behind him and asked with concern:

"How are you? Hang in there, a physician from the Pill Refining Division will be here soon, you should hide first."

The immortal boatman possessed divine blessings, so such severe injuries were not enough to kill him.

"Damn it... how did the Cloud Cavalry Guards end up here?!"

Bai Yueji felt a jolt in her heart, suddenly realizing that the death star was shining brightly upon her today.

"I can't fall into the hands of the Cloud Cavalry, and I certainly can't fall into that guy's hands!"

In a flash, he raised his head, revealing a pale face and a weak expression.

"Lord Cloud Rider, be careful! That man is a monster; he kills without blinking an eye!"

Upon hearing this, Yanqing's heart trembled slightly, and her grip on the sword tightened even more.

"Why are you blocking my way, Cloud Cavalry and Valiant Guards?"

Lin Yuan spoke softly.

"Hmph, do I need to say more?"

A flash of light appeared on the young swordsman, illuminating the sharpness of his longsword.

“Representative of the company. Since you stepped onto the Immortal Ship, your every move has been under the watchful eye of Luofu. You know what you have done!”

"Oh, so tell me what I did?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat curious.

"You entered Xianzhou in the name of the company, bribed the storytellers, and attempted to control public opinion in the streets and alleys of Luofu."

They fabricated a food safety incident in an attempt to pressure the Immortal Boat; they conspired with the diviners to try and seize control of the Grand Diviner's Office.

Most importantly, you also have the [Abundant] Fate Walkers under your command!

The boy's voice was clear and sharp, each word like a sword being drawn from its sheath.

"One or two possibilities could be a coincidence. But all signs point to the truth... Company representative, surrender and come with me to the general for judgment."

"Wow, I've done so many bad things."

Lin Yuan's lips twitched.

"Good heavens... I actually ran into a big shot, what a damn misfortune!"

Bai Yueji's eyes widened suddenly, filled with lingering fear.

He was about to look up to see the other person's face clearly when he was horrified to find that the familiar light had come on again.

"Lord Cloud Rider, save me!!"

"You dare to hurt someone?!"

Upon seeing Lin Yuan raise his hand again, Yan Qing angrily rebuked him.

Before the words were even finished, the air was suddenly enveloped in a bone-chilling cold.

Snowflakes formed from fine ice crystals appeared out of thin air. In an instant, they transformed into frosty prisms, floating behind them like ice swords, refracting a chilling light.

Facing the light ahead, one ice sword after another, carrying a chilling current, transformed into a massive torrent that surged forward.

The cold, sharp sword light, accompanied by a piercing aura, instantly left deep, crisscrossing marks on the surrounding walls and buildings.

however.

When the torrent met the light from Lin Yuan's raised hand, the ice swords melted and dissipated in an instant!

The intense heat instantly dispelled the cold air, and the icy mist that filled the sky turned into raindrops.

Yanqing's pupils contracted, but the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The next moment, another scream rang out behind him. He turned around abruptly.

But the white rose that had been leaning against the wall had now lost half of its body.

On the scorched ground, the remains of the white rose crawled backward, howling in agony.

"you--!!"
