Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

The person who came was none other than General Jing Yuan, who was constantly twisting his red trouser legs to drain out the water.

"Hahaha."

Seeing the surprised or speechless looks from several people, he was not embarrassed but just smiled heartily.

"Just now, when I was riding the Star Raft ashore, I was accidentally knocked over by a huge wave, and my trouser legs got wet."

"Jing Yuan..." There was a hint of subtlety in Ren's eyes.

"General! You..."

Yan Qing was relieved to see that his backbone had arrived, but the way he appeared was really embarrassing.

However, after the funny thing, Jing Yuan's originally smiling eyes opened, and those golden eyes were full of majesty, as if a sky-supporting god was about to rise from behind him, and no one dared to underestimate him.

"You two have returned to the Immortal Boat after a long absence, but you are always in some awkward situations. If you think of our old friendship, you should have informed me earlier."

As soon as this voice fell, the atmosphere on the field also reversed.

Chapter 26: A little wind elf like you was born to be...

General Luofu came in person, even the former Lord Yinyue had to give him some face. Even if he didn't mention the comradeship and the grace of amnesty, Dan Heng, who was willing to take full responsibility for his past sins, naturally would not offend the other party at this moment.

He quickly nodded slightly and explained in a deep voice, "I came here only to rescue my friends. I have no intention of causing trouble for the Immortal Boat."

Jing Yuan glanced at him with a half-smile, then looked at Ren and Kafka standing over there.

Seeing him like this, Ren snorted lightly, without explaining, but just spoke frankly.

"I have finished what I wanted to do."

Such an arrogant attitude immediately made Yan Qing very dissatisfied, and he glared at him.

Before, when the general was not here and his flying swords were all broken, he was indeed a little afraid of him. But now that the general is here, even if the sky falls, there will be a god to hold it up.

Just when Yan Qing was about to ask, Jing Yuan nodded and said, "Well, it's over." He raised it high and put it down gently, and that was it.

This made Yan Qing, who was full of righteousness and had nowhere to vent, dumbfounded. He was even forced to swallow back the words he had originally intended to say.

However, now was not the time to teach. Jing Yuan also said to Kafka, "You helped Xianzhou a little favor, and I'm very grateful. Take this person away. This time, I can pretend I didn't see it."

As the sound fell, the majestic and powerful shadow behind him slowly dissipated, leaving only the clear sky and refreshing breeze after the thunder.

How could Ke Yanqing accept that these two wanted criminals who had caused chaos in the Xianzhou had escaped? He thought the general had made a mistake and hurriedly reminded him: "General?! These two..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Jing Yuan didn't look around, just crossed his arms and looked at the two star core hunters calmly.

This seemed like a gesture of surrender, but it didn't draw any sneers from the other two. On the contrary, since the Star Core Hunter dared to pursue the most dangerous thing in the world, he naturally had his own standards for judging other things.

Moreover, because Elio can see many possibilities, he can understand who is all show and no substance.

Those who are destined to shine in the future cannot be hidden. However, many of them have not yet reached the time to blossom.

As for Jing Yuan, he may appear weak, but that doesn't mean he's easy to bully. That's because he's a master at playing dumb.

He knew exactly what things should never be touched and what things should be turned a blind eye to.

After the two left, Jing Yuan was not in a hurry to tell Yan Qing why he did so. Although he was a master, he was not a nanny.

Now that he had arrived here, Fu Qing was facing a lot of pressure. If Yan Qing had any further ideas in the future, he would naturally understand the intention of his actions. Otherwise, if he didn't understand or didn't want to understand, it would be useless even if he talked himself into it.

Now, there are more important things to deal with.

Jing Yuan looked at Dan Heng with eyes that he didn't know whether to say reminiscence or sad remembrance, and his tone carried a hint of self-deprecating meaning that fate had played a trick on him.

"Long time no see...old friend."

"I'm not him."

Dan Heng's face showed no expression, but he was touched in his heart.

That was not his emotion, but it was inseparable from him. It was Danfeng's sin and also his inheritance.

Those regrets, those memories, those... times that will never come back.

But precisely because of this, he couldn't admit it. At least, he shouldn't touch their "past" as Dan Heng.

"Um... sorry."

Even Jing Yuan shared the same feeling.

So, he stopped hesitating and stopped Dan Heng who was about to leave. He smiled and said, "You can't leave yet. Your train friends are waiting for you in the Scaled Abyss Realm, and they are the only ones who know the details of the friend you want to rescue. How about we go and meet them together?"

"......" Dan Heng hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

Along the way, aside from Yan Qing, who was alone at the top of the ox, the scenery of the Scaled Abyss was indeed remarkable, fully worthy of the phrase "Bo Yue Ancient Sea, a magnificent and wonderful place."

But such a place is where Jianmu was suppressed. Since the records, few people have arrived here. Most of the time, it has been designated as a forbidden area for the Chiming clan. Only the Dragon Lords and generals of all generations can enter and exit normally.

The place is still the same as before, and the people on the Star Ship still look the same, but their moods are different.

Even the immortal species with immortal bodies cannot be on par with heaven and earth, let alone eternity.

Jing Yuan didn't mention Dan Feng, and Dan Heng didn't initiate the discussion. Dan Feng's sins had been washed away by the ancient sea's waters, but this didn't mean Dan Heng could completely break with the past. In fact, he had already borne Dan Feng's punishment, and after his reincarnation, he embarked on a path of eternal exile.

During this period, he met many people, saw many things, and even had his past memories almost stolen by a group of guys wearing strange masks. He also fought against monsters the size of planets. He experienced a lot along the way and also found his own home.

If possible, he would just want to take a look at this boat carrying his hometown from afar on the train.

But now, times have changed, and those who walk the path of destiny are bound to encounter others. And he, too, was naturally caught up by the past... No, it should be said that he picked up the past again on this day.

"You said you came here to save your friend. Would you like to share it with me?"

Perhaps it was because the seascape was new the first time, but it was boring the second time. Jing Yuan quickly spoke up.

"..."

Dan Heng silently took out the strand of white hair from his arms, the scent of the wind having already faded away.

This made Jing Yuan seem to recall something for a moment, and his face looked melancholy.

"...Is there really such a thing as fate in this world?"

"General, I have no intention of refuting everything that belongs to Danfeng, and I can accept the shadow of your past being cast upon me, but please don't treat my friends the same way."

"Ah, I understand. Bringing up the past is like muddying the waters, only causing unpleasantness. Perhaps it's just that this pure hair, with its faintly lingering spirit, always reminds me of someone I once knew, someone who was once as free as the wind."

Jing Yuan gave a nostalgic smile.

However, this made Dan Heng cautiously put his hair back into his arms and reminded him again.

"General, I've already said—"

"Yes. You said it, but so what? If one sentence could change someone's attitude towards themselves, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the world. You want me to stop considering you Dan Feng, but what you're doing is exactly the same as when he was about to make a big mistake."

Jing Yuan's expression became more serious, and his awe-inspiring demeanor made Dan Heng stop thinking about arguing for a moment.

"Do you know how many people would be eager to kill you if news of your return spread throughout Luofu? There are even those who would eat you alive, not to mention stripping your bones and tendons. Under such circumstances, do you still think you can convince them to put aside their hatred and treat you rationally by saying, 'My friend and I have no intention of bringing up the past?'"

"..."

Dan Heng fell silent.

No matter what, he was unwilling to stir up trouble here. Even Wendy was no exception.

But even if he wanted to be a good person, would the people of Luofu really agree? Not to mention whether he would be labeled as having bad intentions, just looking at this terribly familiar script, who could say if this was just another replay of the "dragon disaster"?

Last time, in the sudden war against the Envoy of Plenty, most of the top combat forces of Luofu Fairy Boat were not lost in the crusade against the Envoy, but "died" in the dragon disaster caused by Yinyue. Luofu Fairy Boat was degraded from a flagship to the present day, and even its vitality was slowly restored in recent years through the operation of the merchant group.

If this happened again, Jing Yuan would be out of office. Regardless of how history books would judge him, he would inevitably be branded as a headstrong, self-righteous man who only cared about old ties.

Otherwise, how can we explain his arrogant attitude of staying out of this disaster and letting it happen?

Looking at the young man with the dragon-like appearance who fell into silence, Jing Yuan stopped at the right time and spoke.

"You want me to stop thinking of you and your friends as a thing of the past? Fine, as long as you do one thing for me."

"Please do me one last favor as Dan Feng. This is done. I will let him die and revoke your exile. From now on, I can guarantee that, at least in Luofu, you will no longer be anyone's shadow."

"Furthermore, I will promote cooperation between the Immortal Boat Alliance and the Starry Sky Train. If you had arrived early enough, you would have witnessed the rain of arrows falling from the sky. If someone capable of recreating the miracle of the Emperor Bow Siming reappears in the World of Great Strife, their ownership will undoubtedly spark competition among the Immortal Boats. And if this investigation falls upon you—"

Having said that, Jing Yuan stopped talking and waited for an answer.

This was not a threat, he would rather call it a way of winning over, and the price he offered was even far higher than what a general should have paid. You have to know that when Dan Heng appeared in the Luofu Fairy Boat with a guilty body, he no longer had the right to choose.

Regardless of whether he agrees or not, he can only do what Jing Yuan wants. Otherwise, even if he is arrested on the spot and taken back to the Ten Kings Division to be punished, it will be what he deserves.

The people on Luofu would not plead for mercy for the sinner who had nearly destroyed the immortal boat in the past. Instead, they would applaud and praise, saying, "It seems so good!"

Even within the Chiming clan, this is a topic that most people dare not mention.

But Jing Yuan not only dared to use him, but also dared to reward him. This was a favor, and no matter how Dan Heng felt at the moment, he had to accept it.

However, even so, Dan Heng didn't know where his confidence came from, and he didn't want to disappoint him. Even if it was disappointing, he had to explain the facts.

"What Dan Feng can do, I may not be able to do."

This was both a statement that he had no intention of getting involved in the secret technique of dragon transformation again, and also a predicament that Dan Heng had to explain.

It is one thing to take the initiative to lift the seal and restore the power of the past Lord Yin Yue, but this power must first be discounted due to the incomplete scale-shedding secret method in the past. Secondly, he himself rarely uses this power. It would be a lie to say that he can control it as easily as Ji Yun.

Dan Feng was gifted in the past, but it took time for him to train himself and become famous in the future.

Although he inherited this power, Dan Heng was unsure whether he could perfectly replicate what Dan Feng had done in the past. After all, from the very beginning, he had never thought that he would be temporarily "amnestied". It was probably too late to search for the secrets in his memory now.

But unfortunately, Jing Yuan was serious and left no room for maneuver.

"You must do it, otherwise all the promises will be void. You can blame your past life if you want to. If he hadn't done that stupid thing, and if the power of dragon transformation could be passed on intact, I wouldn't have to force you."

"Besides, I don't think you need to be so unconfident. If Dan Feng can't do it, then only Dan Heng can do it... In fact, no one in the world can do it except you."

"So, whether you're willing or not, you have to do this. The only difference is whether you really want to save your friend from the bottom of your heart—"

After saying this, Jing Yuan stopped talking about these troublesome topics, and instead raised the corners of his mouth and mentioned it as if he was chatting with an old friend.

"Okay, that's enough, as long as we both know each other. As for the rest, it's time to talk about something cheerful, like the new friends you made on the train. They're here right now, just like you thought. This kind of friendship is truly enviable."

"...Xing, Sanyue, Uncle Yang and the others are here too?"

As a companion he met on the train, Dan Heng knew very well that the upcoming battle would not be a small-scale fight like in the previous world.

The battlefield where one actually faces the envoy is extremely cruel. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even for those who are destined to be on the road, if they have not gone far enough on the road, even if they have been watched by the star gods, it will not be of much use.

This was true for both Xing and March Seven. Honestly, they were both strong and considered leaders among the Cloud Cavalry, but the gap in strength couldn't be made up for by potential.

Among the three, only Uncle Yang can be someone Dan Heng does not need to worry about, and he even needs to rely on his experience to a certain extent.

As a senior, Walter had a lot of experience, and his unique perspective inspired Dan Heng a lot. At least, it would not let him fall into the current hesitant situation.

"Of course. It's right up ahead, on the Xianlong Dayu Hall. Calculating the time, I think we've been waiting for quite a while. Let's go quickly."

Along the way, the two also saw a lot of fragments of the Legion of Destruction's empty soldiers. It seems that this landing battle is not easy.

And Dan Heng could still feel a hint of pure wind from it.

This made him a little confused about Wendy's situation for a moment.

If he really encountered danger, even though he left clues along the way, would it be so "blatant" that he would not be discovered?

It is difficult to judge whether it is a trap deliberately left by the enemy, or Wendy's leeway to say "I am not in trouble yet".

But at least from the situation, his life is at least safe.

This also made Dan Heng feel more calm.

If we have Wendy on our side, many things will be much easier.

After all, in the eyes of the Xianzhou people, this friendly-looking bard is already a big celebrity around Xunlie Lan.

Ordinary envoys may not be able to have such expressiveness, so it is too sufficient to say that they are his human spokespersons.

It is unlikely that such a person would fail on the Luofu Immortal Boat and be harmed by a villain, even if the enemy is the Lord of Extinction.

We must find out what happened.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Huanlong was carrying a birdcage made of Jianmu branches and leaves, in which was "imprisoned" a little wind elf.

She hummed a little tune and carried the little creature in the cage like a bird, deliberately highlighting their unequal status.

The wind elf inside was just sitting on the small wooden pole that looked like a swing, swaying its body with the bumps, and it didn't look uncomfortable at all.
