"It's good that you understand." With a slight nod, Jing Liu turned around and prepared to leave without any reluctance, but just as she took the first step, Tanhua appeared in her hand and suddenly slashed behind her.

"Dang~" The sword wrapped in coldness collided with the formation knife shining with lightning. These two weapons, which were made by the same person and symbolized the friendship between each other, eventually turned against each other as their masters turned against each other.

"Jing Yuan, what do you mean?" Jing Liu looked at Jing Yuan holding the formation knife indifferently, and a ferocious look appeared on his face: "Are you going to attack me?"

"...Yes and no!" Jing Yuan's expression was calm and gentle, with a faint smile on his face. He held the formation knife 'Shihuo Mengshen' in his hand reversely, squinting his eyes and staring at Jing Liu in front of him.

"I just want to ask you something!"

“Oh, asking for advice?” With a sneer, Jing Liu slowly tightened his grip on the Tanhua Sword, the chill mixed with murderous intent on his body dissipating, making this frozen world even more bone-chilling: “I don’t remember teaching you to ask for advice in this way!”

"I had no choice. Please forgive me!" Jing Yuan replied indifferently, holding the formation sword at an angle, and did not conceal the seriousness in his words.

"Oh, I am a little curious. What kind of thing could make you, the hunting envoy, the general of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow and the general of the Luofu Immortal Boat, personally ask a sinner like me for advice?"

You gently put down the sword in your hand, as if you had retracted your killing intent. Jing Liu looked at Jing Yuan with his eyes covered by a black veil: "Go ahead! If possible, I don't mind giving you some pointers."

"A few days ago, the Grand Diviner Fu Xuan from Luofu Xianzhou presented me with a report."

Looking at Yan Jingliu, Jing Yuan continued, "That was a fortune teller from the Taibusi. He used the Luofu route as the main direction and predicted the future results within ten days."

"During the divination, I observed that the talismans were disturbing the formations, and it was almost impossible to form a hexagram. This is something that has not happened in the past thirty years. In the end, the hexagram I got was between Gen and Kan, and it was a very bad sign!"

"The diviner on duty at the time, Ruoyue, repeatedly calculated the results of the divination and chose to report it to his superiors, but was rejected by the three diviners of the Taibusi. The reason was that 'the time, cause, and good or bad luck corresponding to the evil hexagram could not be clearly pointed out. Even the diviner Ruoyue could not reproduce the hexagram again. The divination result was too random and had no reference value.'"

"Oh, what's so strange about this? Although I'm not good at divination, I know that the divination of the Qiongguan Formation is not completely accurate. A useless divination is not worth your efforts!"

Ignoring Jing Liu's sarcasm, Jing Yuan slowly opened his narrowed eyes: "But the problem is that after reading the divination report, Fu Qing chose to report it to me over the head, and even found a reason to expel the Ruoyue fortune teller from the Taibu Division!"

"To...save her life!"

Chapter 258: Strange Road

"Then what do you want to say? Praise the Grand Master for being considerate of his subordinates? Or complain about those Grand Masters who are just sitting there doing nothing?"

Still without answering Jing Liu's words, Jing Yuan continued to narrate: "After that, Fu Qing secretly conducted several more divinations, and four or five days ago, he finally got an unexpected result."

"The Immortal Boat will be in chaos, and the chaos will start from the Star Core! Abundance will bring disaster, and Jianmu will be reborn!"

As he recited the words word by word, Jing Yuan's smile gradually faded: "It sounds incredible. Someone was able to avoid the numerous blockades of the Luofu Immortal Boat and bypass the many seals set by the Dragon Lord Chiming himself, and send a star core to the place where the Xuangen of Jianmu is without leaving a trace."

"This led to the rebirth of Jianmu, the rampage of the evil spirit, and even attracted the Great Lord of Extinction, which staged a farce that subverted Luofu, resulting in more than half of the Luofu Immortal Boat being killed or injured!"

"Oh? According to what you said, the divination master of your Luofu is really superb!" His eyes trembled for some reason, and Jingliu said in a surprised tone with a blank expression: "He was able to predict the whole process of the disaster without any clues, just based on a bad omen that he got by accident!"

“Haha, if someone didn’t know, they would definitely think that she had received the blessing of the All-Knowing Heavenly Monarch!”

"That's true!" Jing Yuan nodded in agreement. His narrowed eyes suddenly opened, with a hint of complexity: "This is the information that Fu Qing suddenly got during a divination five days ago. It almost completely predicted the disaster that Luofu Xianzhou will suffer in the future."

"This divination came too suddenly. When I got the news, I couldn't help but wonder if the Lord of Heaven was secretly helping me!"

"Haha, then, what next?" The Tanhua Sword was clenched tightly in his hand again without him noticing, and Jingliu's voice seemed to carry a hint of warmth: "You said before that you wanted to ask me something, is this the thing? I'm sorry, I don't know either. As a mortal, I can't guess what those Star God Siming and Heavenly Lord Huozu are thinking."

“No, not all of them!” Jing Yuan waved his hands, as if he hadn’t noticed Jing Liu’s little move: “Although the content of Fu Qing’s divination was comprehensive, it was also because it was too comprehensive that many details could not be answered from the hexagrams at all.”

"For example..." A golden lightning flashed quietly above Shi Huomeng's body. Jing Yuan stared at Jing Liu, and his tone became particularly calm: "How did the Great Lord of Extinction come to the Immortal Boat, and how did he hide it from everyone?"

"For example, who brought the star core that caused Jianmu to revive and even attracted the Great Lord of Extinction, causing more than half of the Luofu Immortal Boat to be killed or injured? Who brought it aboard the Immortal Boat and put it into the seal of Jianmu's Xuangen?"

“……” The cold wind howled, and there was only silence.

Ignoring the chill gradually spreading from Jing Liu, Jing Yuan lowered his eyes and said to himself: "The seal of Jianmu Xuangen was set by the Luofu Chiming clan and the successive Dragon Lords."

"Except for the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Master of the Vajra Clan, few people know the secret, let alone avoid it so easily."

"The previous Dragon Lord Yinyue Danfeng, due to his sin of greed for immortality, has been subjected to reincarnation and exiled. As we have just seen, he has become Danheng instead of Danfeng. With his personality, he is definitely not the culprit who caused the 'Star Core Disaster'."

"The current Dragon Lord, the Medicine Dragon Girl Bai Lu, is young and ignorant. She has the appearance of a dragon and incredible healing powers, but she has never been able to command the vast expanse of water in the Boyue Ancient Sea, nor has she ever shown the power to control the seal of the Jianmu Mysterious Root. And considering her relationship with the Immortal Boat, it is naturally not her."

"Then there are the Dragon Masters. Although they don't understand the general situation, they have no reason to overturn the Luofu Immortal Boat. I have carefully tested them in the past two days and can barely rule them out!"

"In addition, the remaining few people who know the details of the seal of Jianmu Xuangen are the ones who were once called the 'Five Heroes on the Clouds' together with the former Dragon Lord Yinyue, and they were also close friends!"

"Jing Yuan, currently serving as General Luofu; Ying Xing, a rebel in Xianzhou, greedy for immortality, and together with Yin Yue, he caused the Dragon Disaster; Jing Liu, the former Sword Master of Xianzhou, fell into the evil, rebelled against Xianzhou, and his whereabouts are unknown; Bai Heng, Xianzhou..."

"Enough!" A cold sword energy swept past, accompanied by Jing Liu's roar, interrupting Jing Yuan's narration: "Putting the crime on a dead person, Jing Yuan, is this your style as a general of Xianzhou?"

Raising his hand to block the sword energy, Jing Yuan quietly watched Jing Liu, who was full of murderous aura, and said lightly: "I didn't mean that, but... Master, can you tell me why you did that?"

There was deep anger and pain in the seemingly calm eyes. Jing Yuan looked at the familiar figure in front of him, but at this moment he felt so strange.

He had doubted Dragon Lord, Dragon Master, and even the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, but he had never thought that the person who committed such a sin would be the one he once trusted the most!

The blow to Jing Yuan was almost as severe as the Yinyue Rebellion that led to the complete scattering of the Five Warriors of Yunshang.

"Haha, for what?" The murderous intent on his body suddenly subsided. Jing Liu seemed to have lost his emotions. He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes covered with black gauze quietly looked at the rising sun in the distance: "Why do you think we do this?"

"...I don't know, but I know that no matter what, you shouldn't involve the Immortal Boat in this, or even disregard the safety of the Immortal Boat for your own selfish interests!"

The lightning on Shi Huomeng's body was shining brighter and brighter, but Jing Yuan's eyes were full of regret: "Give up, Jing Liu, as an old friend, I really don't want to see you and Xianzhou fighting with swords, and I don't want you to die in my hands one day!"

"Jing Yuan, you are still the same!" With a sudden smile, Jing Liu's indifference dissipated a little, and the look he gave Jing Yuan seemed to have returned to seven hundred years ago, when nothing had happened yet.

"Always so naive, so stubborn, believing that everything can still be saved! But, alas, everything is too late in the end!"

His tone turned cold again. Jing Liu stared at Jing Yuan and raised the Tan Hua sword in his hand gently: "Don't hinder me, Jing Yuan. Jian Mu's resurrection is an omen. It indicates that the immortal boat has reached the moment of fate."

"Emperor Gong Si Ming, Longevity Plague Disaster Ancestor, Jin Destruction Disaster Ancestor... This is a chess game between gods. If you don't stand on the winning side, you will be the loser."

Jing Liu's voice revealed deep hatred, and even Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel a little frightened: "And this time, we must put Feng Rao to death."

"Really? There is no other way?" Jing Yuan closed his eyes and there was a hint of trembling and determination in his voice.

"When I escaped from Luofu, I thought about giving up revenge and leaving everything behind. But as time went by, it became clearer and clearer, almost like an old friend who accompanied me day and night, whispering in my ears all the time; everything I did when I was trapped in the demon body was intertwined in my memory and I couldn't get rid of it. Finally, I decided to face it."

His fingertips brushed across the black veil, and Jing Liu said calmly: "Perhaps, when you and I witness the fall of "Abundance" together, Yinyue, Yingxing, Baiheng, you and I will all be truly liberated."

"This plan may have failed, but the fate of everything has already been determined. No matter how hard you, me, or anyone else struggles, we cannot break this game that belongs to the gods."

"You and I are nothing but chess pieces!" Jing Liu lowered his head, put away the Tanhua Sword, and turned away without any regrets: "I am tired of walking on the predetermined fate. This is my last effort. Even if there are twists and turns in the middle, I will stand on the winning side in the end!"

"Goodbye, Jingyuan; next time we meet, we will be enemies!"

"..." In silence, Jing Yuan's aura became heavier, and a phantom of a heavenly general made of thunder appeared behind him.

However, he never swung the sword that he had been preparing for a long time towards Jing Liu's back. He just watched her go away indifferently, and finally calmly put away the weapon in his hand.

"A chess game? Well, I will play with you till the end!"

With a sigh, Jing Yuan finally chose to let Jing Liu go.

It was not just because the future calculated by Fu Xuan Gua had already changed, and Jing Liu was not really causing trouble for Xian Zhou, but more importantly, with the power that Jing Yuan could exert now, he had no chance of keeping Jing Liu.

"The suppression of "balance" is really troublesome!" Shaking his head, he turned around and looked at the dim shadow of the God behind him, and took it back: "I'm afraid I have to be extra careful later!"

"Lord of Extinction, Immortal Boat Luofu, Antimatter Legion, Secret Teachings of the King of Medicine, and..." Jing Yuan muttered the forces that appeared in the prophecy one by one, and suddenly looked up. In the distance, a red pillar of fire with a scorching temperature shot up into the sky.

"Star Train!"

"What kind of role are you playing? Even though Fu Qing has already predicted the beginning and end of the Star Core Disaster, the disaster that the Immortal Boat will suffer still exists, and the only solution to the problem falls on you?!"

The whispered words were scattered in the wind, and the howling cold wind rolled up the frost and snow, gradually submerging Jing Yuan's back.

…………

"Flame Spear~Charge!" With a roar, under the astonished gaze of Ji Zi, San Yue Qi and others, Xing, who was originally dying and was preserved by San Yue Qi with Six-Phase Ice, jumped up, holding a red lance that appeared at some point in his hand.

The scorching temperature swept across, completely clearing away the biting cold on the ice field. Then, Xing raised his hand and charged, directly piercing through the Star-Breaking King Insect that wanted to escape.

Raging flames shot up into the sky, and in the blazing firelight, the body of the Star-Breaking King Worm was like being thrown into an incinerator, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"Huh~" Xing exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at the lance in his hand with some excitement: "Fuck, five-star epic equipment? The lance of the Great Guardian Alisa!"

Looking at this almost out-of-print weapon in his hand, Xing, a player who had never seen many good weapons, was so excited that he almost orgasmed on the spot.

It’s not that the baseball bat in her hand is bad. In fact, after integrating the material of "Pain of Destruction", her baseball bat is comparable to this lance.

But no matter how good your equipment is, getting a five-star item for free is enough to make anyone excited!

"Hahahaha... Sanyue, Danheng, look, these are epic equipment!"

"Also, look, look, I seem to have changed my job!"

"Wuhu~"

"It's awesome! I really made the right decision to go to the dungeon this time!"

Seeing Xing excitedly saying something incomprehensible, Sanyueqi and Jizi looked at each other, and then couldn't help but run over and grab Xing who was dancing excitedly: "Wait, wait a moment!"

"Xing, what's going on with you?!"

"Didn't he clearly get hurt by the Star-Breaking King Bug before..." His eyes fell on Xing's chest. At this time, the hole that had pierced through his entire heart had long disappeared, and even his torn clothes were restored to their original state. If it weren't for the occasional trace of blood on his lapels, no one would have thought that Xing had suffered such a serious injury before.

"I clearly remember that you didn't have any..."

Subconsciously she stopped talking and swallowed back some unpleasant words. March Seven couldn't help but look at the lance in Xing's hand. As a player herself, she naturally saw the extraordinaryness of this lance.

"Also, where did this lance come from?"

"Um~ this might be a bit of a long story!"

"Then let's make it short!" Sanyueqi complained subconsciously, and then he pulled Xing to check carefully. After confirming that there was really no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Anyway, the Breeding Order Envoy has been defeated by us, and the only ones left are those antimatter legions. There is no need to be so anxious."

Scratching his head, Xing thought for a while and decided to answer from the beginning: "I don't know how my injury healed."

"After being hit by that bug, I seemed to have fallen into a coma. Oh, I vaguely heard you crying, San Yue Qi~"

"Oh, stop talking nonsense, who, who is crying!" Subconsciously raising her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, San Yue Qi stamped her feet and said coquettishly: "Hurry up and tell me what happened next!"

"Well, later on, when I regained consciousness, I found myself in a strange place."

Holding his chin, Xing fell into deep thought: "It was a gray space, just like the universe, nothing else could be seen, and in the center of that space, I saw a lance stuck in the air."

"Yes, it's the one in my hand!" Xing waved the huge lance burning with flames and continued, "I couldn't find a way out at the time, so I ran towards the lance, and I seemed to see a lot along the way..."

"Hmm... It seems to be a scene related to Beloberg, or Bronya's mother named Cocolia, and then met a little girl named 'The Will of Successive Guardians'."

"The will of successive guardians?!" With raised eyebrows, Ji Zi and Walter looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"And then..."

Chapter 259: Destiny or Career?

"And then what?" Looking at Xing with curiosity, Sanyueqi pricked up his ears quietly, wanting to listen to what the 'will of the guardians of all generations' would say.

However, facing everyone's attention, Xing scratched his head in confusion: "What did she say? Eh, I seem to have forgotten?"

"what?!"

"..."

"This is really~"

Noticing the speechless looks from Sanyueqi, Jizi and Danheng, Xing pouted in grievance: "I can't do anything about it. The gun was stuck in front of me and kept flashing. My attention was drawn to the gun, so I didn't have the heart to listen to what she said!"

"Well, that's really your style." He shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, after spending some time together, Sanyueqi had become more or less accustomed to Xing's style of doing things, so he was not too surprised at this time.

"Then this gun of yours, since it can attract all your attention, it must be very amazing, right?" Looking at the lance burning with flames in Xing's hand curiously, Sanyueqi couldn't help but ask: "What kind of 'epic weapon' did you say it was? What is that? Can you show it to me?"

"Um, okay!" Nodding indifferently, Xing handed the lance to Sanyueqi. But just as Sanyueqi stretched out his hand to take the lance, the huge lance suddenly turned into a phantom, and returned to Xing's hand with a flash of light.

"Eh?"

"Eh?"

The two looked at each other in confusion, Xing and Sanyueqi looked at each other in bewilderment, and then she noticed a hint that quietly passed by the corner of her eyes.

"Um, system prompt: The epic weapon 'Lance of the Great Guardian Alisa' is a bind-on-pickup equipment, which cannot be traded, dropped, or stolen. It cannot be equipped by players other than the 'Guardian' profession?"

Xing read the information in the prompt bar in a low voice and couldn't help scratching his head: "Bind with pickup? Is there such a setting?"

"Okay, it looks like this is a weapon that belongs to you!" Sanyueqi nodded in confusion and suddenly realized, "Wait, it can only be equipped by players with the "Protection" profession? Xing, aren't you a "Destruction" destiny player? How did you become a "Protection" destiny player?"

"Ah? Did I forget to tell you?"

Facing Sanyueqi's "what do you think" expression, Xing suddenly realized: "Oh, it's true that I forgot to say it. After I pulled out this gun, it seems that I automatically embarked on the path of becoming a "protector"!"

As she spoke, she suddenly shook her head again: "No, it seems that I am not embarking on a journey of destiny, but changing my job..."

"Change job?" Walter on the side heard this and turned his head to look over: "Game terminology? Is there any difference between this and the walker who embarks on the journey of destiny?"

"It seems there is no difference, but..." Xing opened his player panel with a thought, and his expression suddenly became silent: "Ji Zi, San Yue Qi, Dan Heng, Mr. Walter, take a look at your player panel, is it different from before?"
