"Step back, we're coming!"

"Brothers, we're here to help you."

Upon seeing reinforcements arrive, the surviving Cloud Cavalry either breathed a sigh of relief or collapsed as if utterly exhausted.

Several others silently moved toward the back.

One of them approached the newly arrived Yunqi (a type of cavalry) and whispered:

Why did it take you so long to arrive?

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

The reinforcements looked at their comrades, only to meet a pair of blood-red eyes.

"If you had arrived earlier...would they still be alive?"

Golden ginkgo leaves fluttered down, and before the Cloud Cavalry could react, they were pierced through.

"........."

The scene fell silent for a moment.

This scene initially stunned everyone. Then, the reinforcements, the Cloud Cavalry, roared and charged forward again, as if caught in a cycle of reincarnation.

Although the incident was sudden, the offensive of the Medicine King's Secret Technique had already slowed down, and the number of reinforcements from the Cloud Cavalry was superior, so the situation was quickly brought under control.

But just then, a lazy yet slightly joyful voice came:

"Ah~ hatred, fear, anger... these emotions of the immortal race are truly delicious."

"Who?!"

Upon hearing this commotion, the Cloud Riders quickly turned around.

In the distance, a figure seemed to be slowly walking towards them.

Firelight—every Cloud Rider seemed to see firelight before their eyes.

The scene before them changed drastically in the next moment; their comrades who had been fighting side by side had all turned into monstrous creatures.

"How could this be?"

The Cloud Riders were horrified by what they saw; the ugly appearance of the demonic being beside them deeply stimulated their senses.

In the blink of an eye, the Cloud Riders all pointed their swords at their comrades.

Thus, Dan Shu, who noticed the commotion, saw this scene.

A figure walked gracefully forward. Around her, Cloud Riders were engaged in fierce combat.

The victor falls to the ground and dies, while the loser is transformed into a demon in fear and pain.

Soon, the entire Yun cavalry force was wiped out.

The figure walked up to the disciples of the Medicine King and said with a light laugh:

"It's ridiculous that we are of the same origin, yet we harbor such deep hatred. Pain, longing, fear, anger... but all of these things bring me joy."

Dan Shu looked at the figure before him and slowly spoke:

"You have finally revealed yourself, the Great Lord of Annihilation."

Chapter 206 The Show Begins

"Oh dear, it should be an honor for you to see my esteemed form. But to be forced into such a sorry state by those actors from Luofu—how disappointing, you lowly soldiers."

Upon hearing the woman's voice from above, Dan Shu raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to act rashly.

"Great Lord Jue Mie, although we were indeed not fully prepared, isn't starting an uprising now exactly what you wanted?"

Her tone was calm.

“There’s no point in dwelling on right and wrong; I hope you can keep your promise.”

"Heh, not bad. A pawn."

The Great Lord of Annihilation slowly turned around, leaving behind an inscrutable smile.

"Now that you can see clearly, go and fulfill your wish. Throw that star core into the cave where Jianmu is located—you will get what you want."

The voice paused slightly.

"And I should add fuel to the fire of this hot oil."

"Oh right, the Great Lord of Annihilation."

Dan Shu suddenly spoke.

"The Demon Bow's hounds suddenly launched an attack this time. Perhaps someone from the company is involved. Could they have an impact on us?"

"Oh?"

Huanlong froze, then seemed to hear a joke:

"The company people? A bunch of greedy ants, let them be. Oh, I forgot to mention..."

The body of the Great Lord of Annihilation slowly dissipated, leaving only a lingering laugh.

"Run, soldiers! That commotion just now—that [Hunting] general must have noticed this place already."

"what?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the farmers were filled with fear.

"go!"

At Dan Shu's command, the Medicine King's Secret Techniques were immediately withdrawn.

Here, only the corpses of Cloud Riders and the mindless, abundant creatures remain.

After a period of time.

Beyond the grotto, above the sky, the figure of a vast and ethereal divine being looked down upon this place.

"Humph!"

A muffled rumble of thunder echoed from beyond the heavens, followed by a massive, golden bolt of lightning that struck down as if in divine punishment. The bountiful creatures that had remained in their original positions were instantly reduced to ashes.

All that remained was a pile of ashes from the calamity.

.........

Many people noticed the sudden appearance of the deity.

"Ha, they came quickly."

In the shadows of the street corner, a woman with a languid expression chuckled softly. A dazzling flame flickered from her body, as if searching for the next inhabitant.

"The more you bluff, the weaker you are. General of the Immortal Ship—I hope you enjoy the grand show I've prepared for you. The show is about to begin."

【Liuyun Ferry】

Yan Qingxiaowei was standing in front of a woman with long, snow-white hair and a black veil covering her eyes.

Her demeanor was icy and aloof, like a fairy descending to earth.

"Little brother, these days, even the Cloud Cavalry's encampment isn't exactly safe, is it?" the woman said calmly.

"Yes, so we won't go to the Cloud Cavalry's camp. Instead, we'll send you directly to the Nether Prison, with food and lodging provided, a star raft for transportation, and a luxury suite. You'll also have dedicated personnel for protection, so you'll be absolutely safe."

Yanqing's tone shifted from gentle words to a sharp gaze.

"...Little brother, there has to be an explanation for taking someone's money, right?"

The white-haired woman remained silent for a moment.

Before she could finish speaking, the two of them suddenly sensed something and looked up at the same time.

In the distance, the majestic golden figure of the deity flashed by.

"It's the general!"

"Jingyuan?"

In the silence, each of them had their own thoughts.

"Hmph, so you sensed it too? You were suspicious after all. Pretending to be blind, you didn't think I was so easy to fool because I'm just a child, did you?"

Seeing this, Yanqing questioned him.

The other party's every move was unlike that of an ordinary person, but the boy had shown no fear before, and now that a divine lord had appeared in the distance, he felt even more confident.

"Oh, little brother, I never said I was blind. You're just making things up."

The woman sighed softly.

"but...."

【Changletian】

"Ah Ren, did you anger this general earlier?"

Kafka gazed at the golden giant that flashed by at the edge of the sky.

"We'll still have to deal with him later."

Kafka sat on the street corner. As she spoke, she picked up a mirror and touched up her makeup with lipstick.

"Hmph, there are five people, but the price is three."

The blade made a deep, resonant sound.

What I pursue has nothing to do with him. As for what he is like... that's none of my business either.
