I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

The celestial general of the Immortal Ship [Zhu Ming], General Huai Yan of the Candle Abyss, had a kind face and stroked his beard.

“I have observed that Luofu Cave is riddled with holes, yet no living beings have been affected by the power of the immortal Jianmu tree and fallen into demonic possession. It seems that you used your body as a dike to sever the plague of longevity and suffered the harm yourself.”

"Aside from physical weakness, the younger generation's six pulses are in harmony, so they should escape unscathed."21

"Because the slash that annihilated the Legion and Bu Liren drained your life force, it was in accordance with the way of heaven, taking from the excess to make up for the deficiency. The plague power that should have brought you closer to the demonic yin instead made up for this deficiency."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan was shocked to discover that when Hua Yi controlled the Divine Lord to unleash that strike, he had actually taken into account his own physical condition, killing the enemy while healing himself. He remained astonished as ever, though he kept his expression unchanged.

"It was thanks to the Emperor's protection that we later generations were able to survive this calamity."

"..."

Huai Yan slowly suppressed his kind smile and opened his narrowed golden eyes.

"Who wielded that blade?"

“Naturally, it is the Divine Lord. The seven manifestations of the Emperor Bow and the God of Fate displayed their power at the critical moment of Luofu’s survival, which is difficult for us to reproduce on our own.”

“Jingyuan, you and I both know that if we rely on the power of the Emperor Bow Master’s blessing, although we have the power to kill the demons and sweep away the evil creatures, the Cloud Knights on the battlefield will also be sacrificed when the blades are drawn, and we will be unable to distinguish friend from foe.”

The aura of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow permeated the room, making it solemn and dignified.

The short, old man stared at Jing Yuan.

Do you know what this means?

"...Please enlighten me, Elder Yan."

"You should know this in your heart. In those past wars of abundance, the Emperor's Bow and Arrow annihilated the evil forces, and the aftershocks inevitably affected our army. The divine power bestowed by the God of Destiny did not originally possess the divine ability to selectively kill enemies—now, in addition to the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow, there is a Hunting Envoy interpreting a new principle. You are a general of Luofu, so why do you hide this from me? Do you want the Alliance to neglect such an existence?!"

The final question carried immense pressure. If Huaiyan hadn't been teaching the younger generation as an elder and hadn't been holding back, this aura could have shattered the Shence Mansion, which was forged from precious iron and gold.

"...He used my strength to wield the sword, and he had his reasons. Jing Yuan's actions were also for the sake of the alliance, to forge a good relationship."

"That reason is reasonable."

Huaiyan stroked his beard, lost in thought.

"We never imagined that the Emperor's Bow Master would appoint a new envoy without our knowledge. Could it be that he is to secretly patrol the world and eliminate evil beings?"

General Zhu Minglai was puzzled, and Jing Yuan was just as confused.

Hua Yi is a hunting envoy, is that... correct?

No, wasn't he holding the Great Guardian Lance of Arilo-VI earlier? He was using the power of preservation, and what he was doing should also be preserving his destiny.

Yes, yes, Hua Yi was able to transcend his control over the Divine Lord, mobilize the boundless power of the Hunting, and unleash that ultimate strike, roaming the starry sea and hunting down all enemies. What else could this be but a [Hunting]?

Soon, Jingyuan successfully convinced himself.

It's definitely the latter.

That's right! Hua Yi is the Hunting Envoy.

"Please inform us of the current situation of Luofu Mountain, Elder Yan."

"That single strike annihilated the Ash Extinction Legion and the Bu Li Beast Ship, leaving only some remnants. The Cloud Cavalry successfully completed the encirclement and annihilation, with no soldiers killed in action. General Tianji Feixiao arrived before me and witnessed the death of the Bu Li warrior. Before his death, he wanted Hua Yi to swallow the Moon of Fetal Movement and become the new master of Bu Li, ruling over the prosperous people. He even declared that we could not tolerate him."

"This plan is incredibly vicious!"

Jing Yuan slapped his thigh, wishing he could drag out Hu Lei, who had bewitched the hunting envoy, again and use the divine power to chop him up a thousand or ten thousand times.

Seeing this, Huaiyan was completely certain of his suspicions.

"In the ancient times, the Immortal Ship sought immortality and worshipped abundance. After several great calamities, it finally honored Emperor Bow Master as the righteous god of the temple. That Hu Lei actually wanted to do the opposite, which was truly malicious—but he did not expect that Hua Yi was the messenger personally appointed by Emperor Bow, and was destined to fail."

"Since Elder Yan is already aware of this, please keep it a secret as he requested and do not publicize it."

"I understand perfectly well. I only brought Yun Li with me on this trip to Luofu. She will not know about this conversation."

The Emperor's Bow Master has re-established a envoy; this is an extremely good thing.

OK, OK!

Huaiyan regained his kind and benevolent appearance.

"At this moment, Feixiao is talking with Huayi. Although she arrived earlier than me, her mind was distracted by Bu Lizhan, and she overlooked the significance of that stab. This also conveniently prevented the exposure of Huayi's identity. But why is he riding in the Rainbow Carriage of Youyun Tianjun in 717?"

"Later, I heard that Hua Yi first appeared at the Black Tower Space Station, and then, wanting to explore the universe, he boarded the Star Train."

"It matches up, now everything makes sense."

The old general smiled and stroked his beard.

"As expected, you have received the imperial decree to tour the world and eliminate enemies. However, this carriage is not quite suitable. [Expansion] and [Hunting] are, after all, two different paths. The alliance should do something... Jingyuan, do you have the strength to get out of bed and walk now?"

"of course."

"Then come and pay me a visit."

"How about we hold a banquet at the Shence Mansion? The great chaos has been quelled, and it was only because Hua Yi protected the Youfu military officers, thwarted Bu Li's conspiracy, and eliminated the war leader Hu Lei that I, as a general, should host a banquet to entertain them. It would also be a good opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk, and no one else would notice anything amiss."

"General Shence was indeed very thoughtful."

The two heavenly generals discussed the matter back and forth and quickly reached an agreement.

Huaiyan added a final, gratified remark.

"Hua Yi's identity is of great importance, and Yun Li is not qualified to know about it. However, we might as well let her participate in this banquet. When Yun Li chats with the people on the train, we can then have a private conversation with Hua Yi."

"Elder Yan's arrangement is perfect."

The general's brilliant plan brought peace to the land.

Chapter 347 Attending the Banquet

Inside Hua Yi's mansion, Fei Xiao was staring at Jing Liu.

The two should have been staring at each other blankly, but Jingliu wore an eye patch, which blocked his vision.

Emperor Bow Heavenly General holds a highly respected position, far surpassing Mirror Flow, who was convicted hundreds of years ago and became a traitor to the Immortal Ship.

However, in terms of age, Feixiao can only be a little sister.

The Five Heroes of the Clouds were active seven hundred years ago, while the lifespan of the Fox People is only three or four hundred years. Fei Xiao is much younger than Jing Liu.

In addition, Jingyuan is a disciple of Jingliu.

To the latter, the former is merely a junior.

Jing Yuan served as a general and governed Luofu for a longer period than Fei Xiao has lived as a fox to this day.

Despite the significant generational difference, Fei Xiao couldn't suppress Jing Liu through dialogue alone.

The olive branch she extended was rejected by the people of the Fairy Boat themselves.

The scene was divided into three camps: the Azure Immortal Boat, the Luofu Immortal Boat, and the Starry Sky Train, and things gradually became chaotic, but Hua Yi didn't need to worry about calming the atmosphere.

By now, the Shence Prefecture should have responded.

Sure enough, just as he took out two cups of Happy Tea from his pocket and gestured for Fei Xiao and Jing Liu to stop bickering and have some more milk tea to soothe their throats, the smart terminal received a message.

"Is everyone hungry? Jingyuan is hosting a banquet at the Shence Mansion and invites us to come and have a good meal."

“Hungry, hungry, hungry!”

Xing, who was originally half-lying down playing on her phone, nodded repeatedly, giving an affirmative answer.

After drinking Happy Tea, you play on your phone, and after a while, someone treats you to dinner. That's the life of Galaxy Baseball Man.

Enjoy it!

As for the previous chaos in Luofu, hitting Bu Liren and Fengrao Xuanlu with a baseball bat was just a simple matter; consider it physical exercise.

She sprang up from the chaise lounge, full of energy.

"Target: Shence Mansion! By the way, is there really any good food there? At such grand occasions, the so-called banquet is often just an excuse for the meeting; the real purpose is to talk."

"You know quite a lot."

"Hmph, I learned that from reading novels~ Hiluva complained in a novel that every time Cocolia invited her to dinner in Crepper Castle, it was just an excuse to discuss business, and she had to work overtime to process documents afterwards."

"It's certain that we don't need to work at a desk."

Hua Yi, of course, wouldn't ask about the novel. He gestured for Fei Xiao and Jing Liu to enter and then took the lead, heading towards the Shence Mansion.

Looking up, there are several holes in the dome of the cave, all the result of the branches spreading after the Jianmu tree revived.

The craftsmen of the Construction Department, the stewards of the Earth Balance Department, and the Cloud Knights rode in starships, hovering high in the sky, busy with the repair work.

The number of street vendors was significantly less than usual, and many shops were closed. Luofu residents were still in shock and had no time to do business or go shopping, so they stayed at home and used the Jade Blessing.

Instead, squads of Cloud Cavalry stood upright on both sides of the road. Each of them was an elite warrior from the battlefield. They stood in the center, holding their battle swords with both hands, in a manner different from those of guards.

This is a welcoming procession.

Jing Yuan went to great lengths to be extremely courteous. Xing, who was rubbing her stomach and wondering what delicious food she would get to eat, probably had no idea about this, but Hua Yi noticed it all.

Regardless of what the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow think, as long as the Star God has not yet entered the fray, everything is in accordance with my wishes.

At Changletian, in front of the magnificent Shence Mansion, Jingyuan and Huaiyan were already waiting at the entrance. When they saw Huayi appear, the two figures, one tall and one short, stepped forward to greet him.

"You all extended a helping hand to Luofu during its time of crisis, saving it from suffering. Jingyuan should have come to express his gratitude, but after thinking about it, he felt that only a formal banquet could express his thanks. Therefore, he invited me suddenly, and he hoped that I would forgive him. Let me introduce you first. This is General Zhuyuan, Huaiyan, a heavenly general of the Immortal Ship Zhuming."

"I just heard Jingyuan mention that the nameless passengers of the Starry Sky Train are chivalrous. Now that I have seen them, they are indeed handsome and elegant, truly astonishing me."

Whether it was Jing Yuan or Huai Yan, they expressed their gratitude to the train crew, but their eyes were fixed on Hua Yi.

The phrase "丰神如玉" is generally used to describe men, while "丰神绰约" would be used to describe women.

Hua Yi instantly understood that Huai Yan already knew that he had borrowed the sword from the Divine Lord. He couldn't help but glance at Jing Yuan and saw that the other's eyes were full of apology.

It couldn't be hidden... That's normal. The leader of a top power in the universe should possess both strength and wisdom.

If Jing Yuan manages to get away with it, Hua Yi will be curious about how he explains it to Huai Yan.

"I have met General Huaiyan. The fact that the chaos in Luofu was quelled so quickly is truly eye-opening. It is thanks to Jingyuan's reputation for divine strategy, as well as the strength and methods of Generals Feixiao and Huaiyan. Now I have personally witnessed the power of the Immortal Boat Alliance. Meeting them in person is even more impressive than hearing about them."

"Haha. It is enough to make me happy to see a young man like you. Come, come, let's go in and take a seat. The food tastes best right now, young friend. Please fill your stomach first."

The way Huaiyan spoke to Huayi was incredibly kind and gentle.

Compared to the banquet held by the Luofu Immortal Ship to receive the Starry Sky Train and to conduct power negotiations, this attitude seems more like a family dinner.

Kind-faced elders care for the younger generation in their family; Huaiyan and Huayi are a family. As for the train crew—

is a friend.

Wait a minute, while Zhu Ming's general was getting closer to Hua Yi, he also naturally separated him from the train.

Ji Zi felt even more threatened, thinking that this meal was not meant to help her out of a predicament, but rather that Zhu Ming's generals, following Yao Qing and Luo Fu, also wanted to snatch her away!

Fei Xiao also thought that General Huai Yan's attitude was too kind. He looked at the old man and then at Hua Yi, and was confused about the situation.

The month of fetal movement is currently in Hua Yi's pocket, why hasn't anyone mentioned it?

Yao Qing would only applaud Hu Lei's death. If Hua Yi did not intend to use the Crimson Moon to cause disaster or even join the Abundance camp, he would be a great hero of the fox people, whose name would be recorded in history and sung for generations.

However, General Huaiyan will likely consider the overall situation of the alliance and take a more comprehensive approach.

Why are they now completely silent about the plague that plagued Shou? It's as if the purpose of the banquet wasn't to discuss how to handle the aftermath, but simply to get to know Hua Yi and become familiar with him.

...There are three Imperial Bow Heavenly Generals present right now. Even if the Moon of Fetal Movement were to erupt on the spot, it would not cause any major trouble, so there is indeed no need to rush to mention it.

Feixiao felt she had found a reason; since General Huaiyan was in charge of the meeting, she was happy to have some peace and quiet.

If Huaiyan, representing the alliance, demands the Crimson Moon and offers other resources as a reward, and Huayi fails to recognize the danger of the plague, leading to a stalemate in the conversation, then I can step forward.

"How about letting Hua Yi live on the Yaoqing Immortal Boat from now on?" Fei Xiao had already thought of the lines.

Chapter 348: Alliance with Jade Omen

The minds of the three Imperial Archers, Kagami Ryu, and Himeko were highly active.

But not everyone is like that.

Xingyi was preoccupied with food, her eyes darting towards the dining table. On March 7th, she raised her hand, asking if she could take some pictures of the food.

As for Hua Yi, his gaze fell on the petite figure busy in the hall.
