Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"indeed so."

Zhongli remembered that when Walter first appeared, Master Hu had come to him about the voice.

He often said jokes like, "Guest, you didn't sneak out a cane that creates black holes, did you?" Besides that, the hall master also made him say lines like "See what it's like when stars are shattered" in a serious tone.

When he thought of the hall master... Zhongli felt that he sighed more frequently.

"The voice is the same, so the power that can't be hidden is the same, right?" Tartaglia looked at Zhongli with a playful look. "Just like the guest official of the Rebirth Hall, whose true identity is the Rock God... Could this Mr. Walter be a secret messenger of some star god?"

"The three of them walked forward and soon encountered a wounded Cloud Knight."

"Under Uncle Yang's reminder, San Yue Qi quickly used Six-phase Ice to stop his bleeding."

"March, Star, there was a fierce battle nearby." Walter adjusted his glasses, a cold glint flashing beneath the lenses. "Look along the way, maybe there are other survivors."

"The three continued forward and soon found another large group of wounded soldiers. Each one said there was danger ahead and told them to flee without paying any attention. However, Xing naturally wouldn't just leave and instead headed deeper into the danger zone."

"Soon, they saw a monster not far away. Although it was humanoid, it was covered in armor and had branches growing all over its body."

"Isn't this the demonic body?"

After witnessing the Mirror Style instantly kill a demonic spirit monster with a single move, Wind Pillar Fuzugawa Shima had no interest in these "miscellaneous soldiers". In his eyes, demonic spirit monsters were no more than low-level ghosts, not worth even a sneer at.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, Fuzugawa." The Rock Pillar clasped his hands together and said calmly, "We have seen Mirror Ryu's strength with our own eyes... It is simply beyond our reach. She can kill monsters with a single blow, we may not be able to do so, and Xing may not be able to do so either."

"Before falling into the demonic realm, these monsters were all soldiers who had experienced the test of battle. Their strength should not be underestimated. They cannot be compared with lower-level ghosts."

As the two conversed, the battle within the light curtain had already begun. With Xing and Uncle Yang in command, the soldier possessed by the demonic power was no match for them. However, strangely, after being knocked down, this soldier was able to revive with full health, rising from the ground and fighting again.

Shimi's expression changed slightly, and he was finally willing to admit... these soldiers were indeed different from the "miscellaneous soldiers" he understood.

"It wasn't until Xing and the others killed it several times that the monster finally collapsed and never got up again."

"What the hell is this thing?" Sanyueqi really felt like he was in a horror movie this time, and the kind where his chances of survival were slim!

Walter said seriously, "Let's keep going."

"As we walked through a large door, an urgent voice rang out from inside: 'Miss Tingyun, be careful! They've fallen into the demonic realm and are no longer our comrades!'"

"Hearing voices, the three of them hurriedly quickened their pace and entered the gate. Not far away, they saw a group of demonic monsters surrounding two Cloud Knights and a fox girl, intending to commit a crime."

The girl's brows furrowed, as if she saw the situation was not optimistic. But when she looked around and saw Xing and his group coming towards her, she couldn't help but say anxiously, "Hey! You guys! Come and help!"

“So… so cute!!”

"This Miss Tingyun... is just as cute as Miss Hina! Even her anxious look is cute! Her ears look so soft, and her tail is so fluffy... The most important thing is that her voice is so nice too!" Arataki Ichito couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Uh... Boss, calm down. Miss Tingyun is just like Miss Hina. You can see her but you can't touch her." Jiuqi Shinobu helplessly held his forehead.

"Besides, Boss, didn't you complain that you didn't earn enough from working?"

Jiuqi Shinobu said seriously, "This Miss Tingyun is very beautiful. In my opinion, she will definitely be very popular in Inazuma in the future. Why don't we rent a camera to take more pictures of her, and then when she becomes famous..."

"I understand this question, Shinobu." Arataki Ichito had a look of complete understanding and patted Kuki Shinobu's shoulder.

"Once she becomes famous, I can use her photo to join the 'Miss Tingyun Fan Club', right? I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable, A-nin~"

"Back then, I was a step late in becoming the president of Miss Hina's fan club. This time, with your reminder, Shinobi, I will definitely take the lead. Hahahahahaha——" As if thinking of something super happy, Ichito couldn't help laughing out loud.

“…” Jiuqi Shinobu stared at him blankly for two seconds. She wanted to say something else, but finally gave up.

"Forget it, Boss...as long as you're happy."

"Seeing someone trapped, Xing, Sanyueqi, and Walter rushed to help."

The girl called Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for saving the damsel in distress~"

"Next time, let us do this kind of thing. It's weird that you said it yourself." Sanyueqi scratched his head, feeling that this sentence was not quite right.

"Although there were many monsters, Walter was there. He created a black hole and sucked all the monsters in. He didn't even give them a chance to revive. The monsters died on the spot without even a grunt."

"Seeing the danger averted, the two soldiers relaxed a little. 'Miss Tingyun, the demonic presence has been eliminated, but we don't know how many dangers remain nearby. The situation is not optimistic. Please return to Tianbo Division with us as soon as possible.'"

"Oh, I know, why are you so anxious? It would be rude to just walk away without thanking these benefactors, right?"

"I am Tingyun, the ferry envoy of the Luofu Tianbosi Merchant Corps. May I ask the names of the benefactors?"

"This sweet, soft and charming voice, coupled with the inevitable allure of a fox woman's red lips, is like a bottle of fine wine, making one unable to resist being intoxicated."

"The people of Xianzhou speak quite similarly to us in Liyue. They are very elegant."

On Mount Aozang, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang couldn't help but sigh, "This girl not only speaks beautifully, but also has a wonderful name... 'The clouds are still and the rain is misty,' it has a profound artistic conception. Just from this name, it's clear that her elders are knowledgeable and have extraordinary insights."

"Well, the etiquette in treating people is also very considerate..."

Just the appearance of Tingyun and his few words made several True Lords on the mountain feel a little bit of goodwill and intimacy towards the Luofu Immortal Boat.

They only vaguely felt that this would be a country with a similar culture to Liyue.

Chapter 86 Do you think there are human ears under Tingyun’s hair?

"After the three of them briefly introduced themselves, Tingyun once again expressed her gratitude for their heroic act. However, she was also curious about why Xing and the others had come to the sealed-off Xingcha Sea."

As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her tone changed: "If you don't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid these Cloud Riders will have no choice but to escort you all."

"Something seems amiss in the situation, and March Seven suddenly becomes nervous."

"Thankfully, Uncle Yang was calm and composed. He spoke calmly, 'We called the port for connection, but initially there was no response. Suddenly, someone opened the Jade Realm Gate for us. After entering the Immortal Ship, we couldn't see anyone, so we had to search all the way here.'"

"Although it's still unclear who opened the Jade Realm Gate, upon learning that everyone was part of the Star Train, a look of melancholy crossed the girl's face."

"Alas... you benefactors, you have arrived at an unfortunate time. The immortal ship has suffered an accident and is not suitable for hosting guests. Whether you are here for sightseeing, seeking medical treatment, or doing business, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything."

"For your own safety, you should all seek refuge in the Xingcha Sea's core as soon as possible. I will bring you to an audience with Master Yukong, who oversees the Tianbo Division, and she will make the final decision."

"This fox girl...is not simple."

Inside the Survey Corps' office, Erwin, having finished a busy day, had already put down his papers and was looking at the sky screen with Levi. Due to orders from his superiors, Hanji was also there, taking down important notes on the screen.

"What? You think there's something wrong with her?" Levi looked at him strangely.

"Nothing else is wrong...it's just that this girl is very thoughtful and articulate." Erwin raised his head, his eyes subconsciously glancing towards the center. "This is a habit that only comes from years of interacting with important people. It's not easy."

"In her eyes, the Star Train is an unknown force, and her true intentions are unclear from a few words. If they truly have good intentions, and then send Cloud Cavalry to detain them... not to mention whether this would be a loss of etiquette, it would at least give a bad first impression."

“…That’s why she said the following.”

"So-called… 'leading everyone to evacuation' is actually another way of saying 'detention,' right?" After Erwin explained this, Levi gradually understood what he meant. "It allows the Cloud Riders to keep an eye on these three exceptionally skilled individuals, while also allowing the train crew to experience Xianzhou's gentle demeanor."

"To be able to think things through so carefully in such a short time... without offending anyone, while still being able to get things done—it reminds me of a few high-ranking figures in the Military Police, tsk."

Thinking of the guys in the center, Levi's eyes showed a hint of displeasure.

Erwin didn't say anything, but just looked at Hanji, who had been silent since the beginning of the meeting, writing and drawing in her notebook.

"Hanji, what are you recording?"

Hearing this, Levi also turned his gaze to the guy next to him wearing glasses and with a rather neutral temperament. He tilted his chair back slightly and barely saw the contents of Hanji's notebook.

The guy was copying a simple portrait of Tingyun with the pen in his hand quickly...especially the tail and ears, and he even drew them from several different angles.

"Hey, are you—"

Hanji closed the notebook with a snap and pointed her pen at the girl in the light curtain, with unprecedented enthusiasm and curiosity in her eyes.

"Aren't you curious? Don't you want to take a look?"

"Did you see her ears? She's not much different from a human, but she has two ears on her head!" Hanji reached out and pinched her own ears, her eyes almost overflowing with light. "Does the part covered by her hair have human ears... don't you want to know?!"

"And her tail, it's so fluffy... Does it extend from the tailbone? Or from somewhere else?"

"Ah... I really want to experiment on her. I really want to know..."

"..." Erwin didn't say anything. He seemed to have long been accustomed to Hanji's behavior and calmly withdrew his gaze.

Levi held his forehead and said in an unpleasant tone, "Hey, can you please stop focusing on the giant?"

"What's the point of studying the tail of a woman from another world? Are you planning to help the giant create a tail?"

-

"I also know a little about the Xianzhou accident. Miss Tingyun, we are here to help Xianzhou seal the star core." Walter keenly perceived Tingyun's intention and explained further.

"Haha, when you all generously help me, I know you're truly kindhearted!" Tingyun changed the subject, continuing his non-stick pan rhetoric: "Unfortunately... Tingyun can't do anything! After all, you're outsiders. Without the authorization of Master Siduo Yukong, who dares to act on your own?"

"Don't be afraid, Master Yukong is kind and friendly. Come with me!"

"The only option now was to follow Tingyun. Along the way, everyone witnessed Tingyun's ability to be completely precise with his words and to dispatch people without making a sound. After eliminating several soldiers with demonic bodies and passing through a long and narrow plank road, they finally arrived at the port of Xingcha Sea."

"After hearing Walter talk about star cores, Tingyun also said that as a 'ferryman' he had visited many planets that had been corroded by star cores. Speaking of the tragic situation, Tingyun's beautiful eyes couldn't help but dim."

"It seems that Tingyun's identity is more like a business representative of the country, which is very similar to my identity." Ningguang smiled slightly. No wonder she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy when she saw Tingyun speaking.

The Seven Stars of Liyue were responsible for Liyue's commercial operations, and as the "Tianquan Star," she was not only a major merchant in Liyue but also a leader among many other businesses. Tingyun's impeccable rhetoric sounded very familiar to Ningguang.

However, there is still a difference. Ningguang herself is the highest-level executive in Liyue and the maker of countless business policies. When dealing with people, she is undoubtedly more confident.

"It would be great if Tingyun could come to Liyue. Liyue Harbor is in need of such talents." Ningguang sighed regretfully.

The secretary beside him heard this and immediately felt sour: "Lord Ningguang, you are regretful that Miss Tingyun cannot be of use to you, right?"

"Haha, you heard it all."

Ningguang looked at the fox girl in the light curtain. Seeing her cunning expression, the smile on her face changed again. She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. This girl is very clever and a natural businessman. How could she be willing to be used by me?"

"If she came to Liyue, I'm afraid those merchants would secretly complain again."

Chapter 87 Yuzhen, is this your escape route?

"On the Luofu Immortal Ship, all matters concerning airspace, navigation, and trade are overseen by the [Heavenly Ship Department], one of the six departments. As the largest port, Xingcha Sea is also under our jurisdiction."

"After arriving at the center of Xingcha Sea, Tingyun enthusiastically introduced them."

"The various starships shuttle back and forth in the sky, making you feel like you're in a science fiction movie. But looking at the buildings in the distance, you can see the classical style with soaring eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, giving you a sense of 'cyber fairyland'."

"What a convenient tool... It seems to be even faster than flying magic."

"Is this also human technology?"

Celie opened her eyes wide, carefully observing the Star Raft floating in the sky. This "boat"-like tool could unexpectedly burst into such astonishing speed.

This mode of transportation was far more convenient than a horse-drawn carriage, and one could easily travel the entire empire in just one day. Crucially, it required no magic to maintain altitude or speed, making it quite useful for magicians.

If we could get on the Star Raft and have the magician use magic to bombard the ground... could the existing demonic forces on the continent hold out for three days?

"Lady Celia, what are you looking forward to?" Jian Ze saw a meaningful smile on the face of the great magician.

"Nothing, I just feel that humans can always create surprises."

"That's a tool from another world. It might be difficult to copy it..."

"It's okay. I have plenty of time." Celia shrugged, her expression saying, "What's the big deal?"

From a millennium when humans had no knowledge of magic, to the present day, where, in just a few decades, they had fully deciphered "murder magic" and incorporated it into their own magical system. Over this long period of time, humanity had created one miracle after another. Celie believed that it was only a matter of time before the humans of this continent could create a Star Raft.

"Having said that, Tingyun hurriedly led everyone to the audience. This hasty process made it difficult for everyone to adapt for a while."

"Fortunately, Uncle Yang stepped forward and said he wanted to make some plans for the audience. Not only did he send Tingyun away, but he also bought everyone a moment of respite."

"Let me give you two a heads-up. You must be alert and take the upcoming audience seriously," Uncle Yang said solemnly.

"Uncle Yang is worried that this time, when we meet the commander of the Immortal Boat, we might make the same mistake as Beloberg." Thinking back to the last pioneering trip, Sanyueqi felt a lingering fear.

“No, the Immortal Boat Alliance wouldn’t be so rude. But when Yukong meets us, he’ll definitely ask a series of questions—”

Uncle Yang paused, then continued, "Why did we choose this time to come to the Immortal Boat? How did we know that this catastrophe was related to the star core? Who leaked the news about the Immortal Boat to us?..."

"If you answer carelessly, you'll likely be met with wariness and hostility, making your progress even more difficult."

"...What a thoughtful thought! Was this Mr. Walter really an animator before? So, are there so many hidden talents in animation companies?"

In a barbecue restaurant in Jiangying Square, Asaba Yuma was leisurely drinking a drink while jokingly saying to Tsukishiro Ryu who was sitting diagonally across from him, "Deputy Section Chief, next time when we recruit for Anti-Aircraft Section 6, why don't we also interview a few animators?"

"Yuuma, it's not the animator who's amazing, it's Mr. Walter... The animator is just a disguise for his identity."

Yue Chengliu skillfully flipped the barbecue on the deck and stopped Cang Jiao from reaching for the chopsticks. "Just like some people, who appear to be video store owners but are actually Phaethon."

"Uh... Miss Liu is praising us too, right?" Ling wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although she had already revealed her true identity to the Public Security Bureau and Anti-Aircraft Section 6, she still couldn't help feeling a little nervous when she heard them actually talking about her identity as a "rope maker."

"Of course." Yue Chengliu skillfully placed the roasted beef between Cang Jiao and Ling's bowls. "I think it's good to show more of Mr. Walter's perspective. Mr. Walter is not only skilled, but his way of handling problems is also particularly worth learning from. I hope someone can learn more from him..."

"Deputy Section Chief, I understand, I understand. You don't have to worry about this."

While Cangjiao was concentrating on eating the meat, Youzhen quickly stood up, picked up the blackened meat on the deck in front of her, and put it into his mouth in the blink of an eye.
