What I hate, of course, is that rainy night and that overpass...

Nibelung, Odin... and of course myself, who didn't stand with my father...

In comparison, I think Mirror Flow feels the same way...

During the Shuhu Rebellion, if it was Jingliu who killed Shuhu—but she couldn’t do it;

In the Battle of Fang Hu, if Jing Liu could destroy Bu Liren's fleet—but she wasn't a pilot;

If she could have stopped the two foolish people in advance during the Moon Drinking Rebellion - she couldn't have stopped them, but maybe she herself also had a glimmer of hope?

Who wouldn’t feel regretful if they kept making mistakes all the way?

Therefore, in order to atone for her sins, she could not let go of this hatred - indeed, this emotion also prevented her from further entering the out-of-control demonic body...

However, Danheng is a little strange...

Jingliu didn't actually need medical attention—so why did she come to see Shiro?

Isn't Bailu a Dragon Lord? It makes sense for Danheng to see it, but what about Jingliu?

Combining the previous Dragon Transformation Method and the Moon Drinking Rebellion...

Chu Zihang stopped wiping the knife...

Could it be!

Wasn’t the so-called evil dragon that failed in the experiment finally beaten to death by Jing Yuan and others?

But...it's Bailu???

Or...even if this guess is wrong, there is a high possibility that Bai Lu was born during that turmoil!

So, doesn't this mean that... the magic method of transforming into a dragon... was indeed partially successful?

Thinking of Bai Lu's tail and the shackles on it, although it didn't mention what they were used for, this guess seems to make more sense...

And... Ying Xing seemed to want to resurrect Bai Heng at that time... Does that mean that Bai Heng's flesh and blood later became Bai Lu?

·····

The three of them arrived at the Xianlong Dayu Hall. Jingliu looked at Luosha, who nodded in return.

After glancing at the people present, Jingliu told Jingyuan to let Luosha leave first—what happened next had nothing to do with him for the time being.

Jing Yuan called out to Yan Qing, telling him and the other Yunqi people to take the "serious criminal" Luosha away.

After confirming that everyone who was not involved had left, Jingliu slowly walked into the crowd...

"...Now, everyone is here. I never thought that after hundreds of years, the Five Heroes of the Clouds would be able to reunite." Jing Liu's voice was no longer as gentle as when he met Bai Lu, but instead took on a certain serious tone.

"If I remember correctly, seven hundred years ago, the five of us swore an oath right here..." Jing Liu said slowly, looking at the Dragon Lord statue.

[“No matter how far apart we are, we must gather here and drink a cup together.”]

"It's a pity that the Scale Abyss remains empty, and the world is in turmoil. Some of the five of us have been reborn, some have been unable to die, some have become the cause of sin, and some... will never be able to keep our promise. The friendship we shared is gone."

[After today, she will soon be put on trial—this departure may be a farewell forever. So before leaving, she wants to bring everyone to this first gathering place to say goodbye.]

"There are five names for each person, and three prices for each person."

Jingliu's words were clear, "The culprit, Yinyue, wields the magical power of dragon transformation to bring the dead back to life, changing his form and appearance, causing great disaster and bringing disgrace to the warriors."

"Following the evil star, he was rebellious and arrogant, he touched the flesh and blood of the angel of abundance, helped drink the moon and acted recklessly, and eventually fell into the state of an immortal evil creature."

[“…And the sinner Jing Liu, guilty of evil, murdered his comrades, and betrayed his alliance.”]

"Now, it's time for us to pay the price."

[Outside the Scaled Abyss, several birds cried, as if responding to this final judgment.]

·····

One Piece World.

Fujitora was in the tavern, drinking his wine slowly.

He could tell from Jingliu's voice that it was a voice of extreme despair, a voice that was simply about completing its mission, without any life in it.

Now, it was finally clear what Jingliu had to do - take this opportunity to call all the people who had committed crimes back then, and let them atone for their sins...

These people are all good men and good women who are loyal to each other. How did it become like this...

Fujitora thought that among all of them, the one who suffered the most might be Jing Yuan...

"A man has five names, and his sins are three..."

Three sinners, Jingliu, Ren, and Danheng - they all left a mess behind for Jingyuan to clean up...

Needless to say, Dan Heng, besides Master Long who wanted to save him, Jing Yuan also thought so.

As for why Blade and Jingliu were able to leave the Prison, did they escape, or what...

I guess it was Jingyuan who let him go?

Jing Yuan shouldered such a huge crime alone - if it weren't for his outstanding military achievements, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it...

So now when these people get together again, instead of drinking and chatting, they count their sins...

You really don't consider Jingyuan's feelings!

Chapter 223 Mirror Flow (10): Lelouch: A First-Class Politician!

Jingliu turned to Danheng, "Danheng, you will never be able to escape Yinyue, because he is your starting point. The sins he committed will always accompany you on your journey, like a shadow, until you die."

Dan Heng pondered for a moment. These words, rather than warnings, were more of exhortations.

[As long as he carries the power of Danfeng Dragon Lord, there will be no peace.]

[“Blade…” Jingliu’s words grew increasingly cold, piercing everyone’s bones.]

"It's a good name. For the rest of your endless life, you can only wander between killing and being killed, searching for your own burial place."

"If not, you won't be able to dispel Ying Xing's regret."

"It's me who will finally be here." Jingliu walked towards Jingyuan, "I will face the Alliance's decree and bear eternal punishment."

[“And after this... there is an even more tragic ‘price’ waiting for me.”]

"The price... could it be the things she and Luosha were planning to do?" Dan Heng remained calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

[Feeling the sea breeze and looking at the sun high above, Jingliu's face was illuminated palely - like a dying person.]

"Only in this way can the pain that needs to be remembered... not fade away."

[“The Five Heroes of the Cloud… It’s time to say goodbye to each other.”]

After saying this, Jingliu smiled wryly and said to Jingyuan, "There's no wine, only bitterness. Such a gathering is truly indescribable."

"It's time to send me off to Xuling, Jingyuan."

【However, Jing Yuan smiled slightly. 】

[“The laws of the alliance cannot be changed... Unfortunately, your next stop is not "Xu Ling", but "Yu Que"..."]

The world of Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Lelouch, who was leading many people from Area 11 to seek refuge with a certain Eastern power on the large floating base on Penglai Island, was in Ikaruga's command room, looking at the light screen.

"You are truly worthy of being called Jing Yuan—a first-class politician!"

There were not many people that Lelouch could praise - at least, not yet on the Earth of his time and space.

Jing Yuan's move was truly brilliant - no one knew how long the various behind-the-scenes preparations had taken.

Luosha and others probably wanted to offer their strategy directly to the Marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance.

However, the risks involved are high.

It’s not that he was afraid that Luosha would assassinate him under the pretext of offering advice - after all, Jingliu was also present.

However, there are too many mysteries involved, and a qualified politician should not accept such a big risk.

Let Luosha and others go to Yuque - Lelouch remembered this fairy boat, it seemed that Fu Xuan mentioned it, and it was good at divination.

The divination of the Xianzhou Alliance is not metaphysics or a deceptive trick at all, but a serious calculation of the future...

If Luosha and his men really wanted to trip up Fengrao and then have the Xianzhou Alliance... and even the Galaxy Hunters, Train Crew and other cosmic forces work together to kill Fengrao, then such calculations would be impossible not to make - they would have to give all parties a reassurance and an explanation.

Moreover, this approach can better demonstrate the role of Jingliu and Luosha than the marshal directly sending troops.

Maybe, after killing "Fengzao", Fengzao's power disappeared, and Jingliu and Ren could return to their original state?

By then, everyone would be old and looking back on their lives, they would have had a wonderful life, with a few good friends drinking and chatting happily - not like now...

This is like going to the tiger mountain even though you know there is a tiger there!

·····

"I reported this matter to the Marshal, but General Rong Tao was quite interested and actually stopped us mid-way, setting up the 'Ten Directions Light Reflecting the Dharma Realm' in order to meet with you two first."

Dan Heng briefly recalled: this "General Rong Tao" should be "Yao Guang", stationed on the immortal ship "Yu Que".

[Like Fu Xuan, his main duties are to assist the Marshal in making strategic plans and serve as a key think tank in the alliance's military decisions...]

Luosha and Jingliu probably wanted to tell the Marshal about their plan...but Jingyuan was suspicious, or did he want to see if their plan would work, so he informed General Rongtao in advance?

Jingliu was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Jingyuan, you're still the same, always trying to break other people's plans. But you and Yunqi... are just pawns in the game of the gods."

After a moment, Jingliu sighed, "It's alright. I'll walk a little further with you, but the outcome won't change. I'll always be on the winning side."

"Then I'll play this game to the end." Jing Yuan refused to give in.

Just as the two were about to leave, Ren stopped them, "Wait—Jingliu, before you leave, you still owe me a reward."

Jingliu turned around, looked at Ren, and replied calmly, "I tried... I can't help you much except leaving more wounds on your body."

"Your immortal body—it's not something you can just dismiss so easily. Kill the flesh and blood of the immortal god with a human sword..."

"Slave of Fate should have told you this, right?"

[“He did. But you still owe me this sword.”]
