People are working on collapsing iron, and one concept-level capability is developed every month.

The three judges each had a different expression.

The judge, pale-faced, with dark circles under his eyes and resembling a female ghost, remained silent and composed from the moment he entered, never revealing any attitude whatsoever.

The other judge, who also wore a Demon-Slaying Cone around his waist, did not show any change in expression, but he remained upright and looked straight ahead, indicating that he was paying attention to the matter.

As for the last fox-man judge...

Master Canghao glanced at it briefly before looking away.

There's no need to look at this guy closely; he exudes timidity and keeps stealing glances at the young man. It's obvious he's blinded by love.

Huh? Wait?

Just then, Master Canghao seemed to notice something. He glanced at Xueyi and the other two again, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the "Ten Kings' Office" has also fallen into depravity, resorting to such despicable tricks.

If Lord Tengxiao and Lord Jingliu were still in Luofu, such a thing would never have happened.

Master Canghao was displeased, but he did not show it. He strode over and sat down in the main seat.

"In that case, please tell me your needs. If it is within my power, I will do my best to fulfill them."

Lin Yinzhou narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and said bluntly, "I want the portrait of the former 'Sword Master' of the Luofu Immortal Ship!"

Master Canghao's hand trembled slightly as he picked up the teacup, causing drops of tea to spill out and land between his thumb and forefinger.

He put down his teacup, looked at Lin Yinzhou, and asked expressionlessly.

"What do you need Lord Swordsman's portrait for?"

Lin Yinzhou didn't say much, but raised his hand and gestured towards the decorative screen.

In a few seconds, the screen transformed into a graceful young woman who bowed to Lin Yinzhou.

"Father God."

Lin Yinzhou nodded slightly, pointed to the graceful young woman, and said.

"This is enlightenment; it can be applied to both inanimate and living things."

"..."

Master Canghao remained silent.

With his keen eye, he naturally recognized at a glance that this was not a trick, but a genuine enlightenment!

Although the life force within the girl behind the screen was weak, it was real and undeniable.

Moreover, that "weak" is compared to the Immortal Ship people. Compared to those short-lived species, this vitality is not weak at all.

Just then, Master Canghao seemed to realize something and suddenly turned to look at Xueyi.

"She's been enlightened by you too?"

Master Canghao asked, somewhat incredulously.

Just now, he had actually vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the judge's condition. The vitality within his body was surprisingly vigorous, but that vitality had a strange smell of inorganic life.

It was neither fully alive nor fully dead, leaving people puzzled.

He originally thought it was some new technology from the "Ten Kings Division", but he never expected that he would be enlightened.

"Yes."

Lin Yinzhou nodded slightly.

"..."

After a long silence, Master Canghao stared at Xueyi and asked, "Were you previously a puppet?"

The use of puppets as judges in the "Ten Kings' Court" is neither a secret nor an isolated case. Over the past few hundred years, he has seen several judges who use puppet bodies.

"kindness."

Xueyi responded calmly.

"..."

Master Canghao closed his eyes and pondered.

At this moment, he began to understand the "Ten Kings' Office" somewhat.

Such enlightenment is beyond the reach of even the Envoy of Abundance who brought great calamity to Luofu; only the Star God could achieve it...

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes and strode out of the hall.

"Come with me."

It became a skirt, a hill, a person; an umbrella, a ball, a dam!

Lin Yinzhou smiled and got up to follow Master Canghao.

He had only taken two steps when he seemed to remember something. With a thought, he turned the screen girl back into a screen.

At the same time, Master Canghao, who was walking ahead, paused slightly, then immediately resumed his normal pace, as if nothing had happened.

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

"This is it."

Not long after, in the library deep inside the mansion.

Master Canghao pushed open the top-floor door and led Lin Yinzhou and his group inside.

As soon as he entered, Lin Yinzhou saw a magnificent painting that occupied an entire wall.

On the scroll, the Cloud Cavalry resembled celestial soldiers and generals, standing in formation on the clouds, layer upon layer, covering the sky.

At the very center of the celestial canopy, a white-haired woman stood with her sword in hand, surrounded by flowing clouds and endless celestial soldiers, which accentuated her aloof sword intent soaring into the sky.

--------------------------------------

I was so busy I posted the same chapter twice.

Volume 1: Chapter 38, Lord Kagami is still alive!

(I was so busy I posted the same chapter twice. I've fixed it now. Just refresh the page, and if that doesn't work, add it back to your bookshelf and refresh again.)

Just as Lin Yinzhou was about to step forward for a closer look, the white-haired woman in the painting suddenly moved. With a sidelong glance, a sharp sword intent along with a cold whisper pierced his mind.

"Mere grass beneath the sword!"

Lin Yinzhou's pupils contracted slightly, and his body subconsciously entered a defensive state. Just as the imaginary energy within him was about to roar out, the "Lotus Seed" trembled slightly, stirring up an invisible breeze that soothed the palpitations in his heart and instantly calmed his mind.

He frowned almost imperceptibly and looked up again.

The white-haired woman's fierce sword intent still lingered, but it could no longer affect him.

"This is my favorite painting."

Just then, Master Canghao walked to Lin Yinzhou's side, looking at the white-haired woman in the painting with a complicated expression.

"In the year 7380 of the Star Calendar, following the chaos of the sudden and the chaos of the moon-drinking, Lord Jingliu fell into demonic possession and committed a grave error."

"We, the elite Cloud Cavalry, under the leadership of the new general, will join forces with the Star Chariot Sea to fight against the demonized Lord Jingliu."

"In that battle, I was chopped into a pile of minced meat by Lord Jingliu. If it weren't for my personal physician risking his life to pick up my remains, I would probably have perished in the Starry Sea."

"I was very lucky; even though I was reduced to a pile of minced meat, I was still rescued."

"At the same time, I am also very unfortunate, as Lord Jingliu's demonic sword intent is deeply engraved into my soul."

"Every night, the demonic sword intent would begin to haunt me, tormenting me with splitting headaches. The painful memories of the past would swirl around in my head like mosquitoes, making me wish I could just die."

"That demonic sword intent tormented me for a full century, until..."

Master Canghao glanced at the three judges beside him, his expression growing increasingly melancholy, "Until the day I lost control."

The crow lowered its eyes and remained expressionless.

Xueyi seemed to be deep in thought, but did not ask any further questions.

Huo Huo was startled.

The Celestial Ship crew has gone out of control? That would mean...

Huo Huo hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping herself. Seeing that neither Lord Han Ya nor Lord Xue Yi had spoken, she could only suppress her worries and continue listening.

"That day, I piloted my star raft, leaving the immortal ship and leaping to an unnamed star system. In that unnamed star system, I actually smelled the aura of 'Abundant Beasts.' I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I followed the aura and tracked it down."

"The aura finally settled on an unnamed planet, and I finally saw the 'Abundant Beasts,' an entire fleet of 'Walking People.'"

"I...I'm surrounded by them..."

Master Canghao looked somewhat dazed, as if he had returned to that day.

"Besides the Star Chariot, I have nothing. Only the 'Junxiao Halberd,' which I never part with, remains with me. I fight with the halberd, and then... and then..."

Master Canghao's gaze gradually cleared. He looked at the many floating clouds in the portrait and said calmly.

"When I regained consciousness, only two living beings remained in my field of vision: one was myself, and the other... was the former general of the 'Azure Radiance' Immortal Ship... no, that's not right. The 'Azure Radiance' Immortal Ship had a new general more than twenty years ago, and the one I met back then must have been the general two years before that."

"The general said I had done a great service. Those 'Step-Offs' were trying to turn that planet into their weapon farm, and I stopped them, buying the 'Azure Sky' celestial vessel time to rescue that planet."

"I... performed a meritorious service, but I know very well that I did not do it for the so-called rescue, but simply because I was blinded by bloodlust."

"If General 'Yaoqing' hadn't arrived in time, my next target would have been all the native inhabitants of that planet. Fortunately, I haven't committed any major crimes yet."

"Afterwards, General Yaoqing personally escorted me back to General Jingyuan. To put it nicely, he escorted me; to put it bluntly, he was forced to take me under guard. At that time, anyone could see that I had already stepped one foot into the demonic realm."

"After returning to the Immortal Ship, I lay in the 'Alchemy Department' for a long time."

"Those healers told me that there was no demonized sword intent at all; it was all hatred in my heart! Hatred for the abundant scum!"

"They prescribed me medicine and told me to cultivate my mind and character, and try my best to dispel the hatred in my heart, so as to avoid falling into demonic possession."

"I believe it."

"I resigned from my position in the Cloud Cavalry and bought a floating island in this 'Cloud Hidden Cave Heaven.' I also picked up my old hobbies from before I joined the army, spending my days basking in the sun and painting. Unexpectedly, I even became a so-called master painter."

"Heh~"

Master Canghao chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Even a piece of trash like me can live so well, let alone Lord Jingliu."

Cang Hao turned his head and stared intently at Lin Yinzhou. "Boy, would you believe me if I said Lord Jingliu is still alive?"

Lin Yinzhou nodded slightly. "I believe you."

He certainly believed it; based on the current timeline, he estimated that Jingliu would return to the Immortal Ship in a few months.

"Hehe~ I believe it too."

Cang Hao looked at the white-haired woman standing with her sword in the painting and said with a sense of loss, "My time is running out. If you want this painting, I can give it to you. I can even give you this floating island and other properties under my name."

Lin Yinzhou raised an eyebrow slightly. "So, what's the price?"

"If you ever meet Lady Kagami, please lend her a hand."

"OK, no problem."

Seeing Lin Yinzhou agree so readily, Cang Hao glanced at him thoughtfully.

A quick agreement either indicates a lack of intention to keep the promise or a strong sense of confidence.

Are you the former or the latter?

After a brief moment of thought, Canghao decided to take the gamble.

He spent his life in the military, had no children, and wealth was as fleeting as clouds to him.

Even if these few small things can be exchanged for an opportunity for Lord Kagami in the future, it will not be a loss.

"Hey, I have a question."

Lin Yinzhou glanced at Jing Liu, whose sword intent soared to the sky in the painting, and then at Master Cang Hao, who stood motionless in front of the painting. A subtle look flashed in his eyes.

Cang Hao stared straight ahead, not even raising his head, and said, "Don't ask. The answer is that I'm not worthy and I won't regret it."

Suspect: li:ng盈漆司吴ji$

Seeing that Cang had no intention of discussing his personal affairs, Lin Yinzhou changed the subject and asked about business.

"Sir, do you have any portraits of the former Vidyadhara Naga in your works?"
