Chapter 594

"Buzz!"

Before Blade's voice had even faded, a brilliant, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the Divine Lord's Decree in Lord Yan Qing's hand, and an endless pressure began to permeate the air; this sight caused Kafka's expression to change.

This kid acts with such lightning speed.

Activating the Divine Lord's Decree the moment he says he will, without the slightest sense of waste.

This was not in the original script.

In an instant, a terrifying aura also erupted from Kafka's body.

She had to treat the Divine Lord's Decree with gravity.

"Alright, using the Divine Lord's Decree here is far too wasteful."

But the next second, the brilliant golden light dissipated.

A gentle, jade-like chuckle rang out.

Jing Yuan appeared before Lord Yan Qing, no one knew when, and gently placed his hand on the Divine Lord's Decree, preventing it from emitting even a sliver of golden light.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

The man who appeared was none other than the Luo Fu's closed-eyed General—Jing Yuan.

"General!"

Seeing Jing Yuan appear silently before him, Lord Yan Qing was stunned.

How could the General arrive so suddenly?

Wasn't the General busy dealing with the matters of the Lord Ravager?

But the next second, Lord Yan Qing's expression turned to one of wild joy.

With the General here, this Imbibitor Lunae is as good as captured!

"Jing Yuan."

Watching Jing Yuan appear, Blade, who had just been radiating a terrifying aura, reined it in and narrowed his eyes: "We meet again."

"Indeed."

Jing Yuan smiled lightly: "I also did not expect that my meeting with you two would be in such an awkward situation."

"What I came to do is already finished."

Blade said calmly: "What do you intend to do?"

"Hmm, finished."

Hearing Blade's words, Jing Yuan nodded gently, looked at Blade and Kafka, and said: "You helped the Xianzhou with a small matter, and I am very grateful. You may go; this time, I can pretend I saw nothing."

"General!"

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Lord Yan Qing's expression changed.

The General actually wants to let these two Stellaron Hunters leave the Luo Fu?

Regarding Lord Yan Qing's words, Jing Yuan merely waved his hand, silencing Lord Yan Qing, who had wanted to speak.

"Thank you."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Kafka smiled.

Then she left with Blade.

The contact information for Morax had already been added, and some of the objectives on the Luo Fu had been completed, so there was no need for her to remain here at Scalegorge Waterscape.

"Old friend, long time no see."

Watching Kafka leave, Jing Yuan turned his gaze toward Dan Heng and said slowly: "How have you been lately?"

"I am not him."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng's expression was calm: "You have found the wrong person."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Dan Heng's words, Jing Yuan raised an eyebrow, then nodded gently: "My apologies."

"Let's go. Your friends are currently over at Scalegorge Waterscape; let's go see them together. Incidentally, I also have something to tell you."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng fell silent.

Then he nodded gently.

Lord Yan Qing, meanwhile, looked at Dan Heng with a suspicious expression.

He could not understand why the General would not arrest this Imbibitor Lunae.

He had no trouble understanding why the General let the Stellaron Hunters go.

But what was the situation with this Imbibitor Lunae not being captured?

Although he was confused, Lord Yan Qing knew that now was not the time to ask.

He immediately followed Jing Yuan and Dan Heng toward the Palace of Astrum in Scalegorge Waterscape.

"The ancient sea of Bo Yue, a wondrous realm; the scenery of this Scalegorge Waterscape is the same as when I saw it last, unchanged."

While walking toward the Palace of Astrum, Jing Yuan spoke slowly: "... And yet, you and I, standing here today, are each different. It shows that even long-lived species with immortal flesh cannot stand alongside the heavens."

"The General should know the habits of Vidyadhara reincarnation and molting."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng spoke while walking: "The waters of the ancient sea have already washed away Dan Feng's sins. The person who stood here with you back then is already gone."

"I am Dan Heng. Whether that Dan Feng was a hero or a sinner, it has nothing to do with me."

"I have already borne his punishment and accepted permanent exile—I have no complaints about that, but when the General looks at me, please be sure to discard the shadow of the past."

"Sigh."

Hearing Dan Heng's words, Jing Yuan sighed: "Bringing up the past is like stirring up a pool of muddy water, pointlessly inviting unpleasantness. Perhaps it is your appearance... perhaps it is those dragon horns, the vaguely familiar aura of the High Elder, that always makes me associate you with an old friend."

"I have already said, General."

"Yes, you have said it."

Jing Yuan interrupted Dan Heng, saying calmly: "If a single sentence could change how others view you, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the world. You want me to stop seeing you as Dan Feng? Fine, do one thing for me."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng suddenly stopped and looked at Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan spoke slowly, continuing: "Help me with one last favor in the identity of Dan Feng. Once this matter is concluded, I will let him die, and I will revoke your exile order. From then on, I can guarantee: at least on the Luo Fu, you will no longer be anyone's shadow."

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

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng did not agree, but fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

A matter that could make the Luo Fu's General ask for help was definitely not a small matter.

He himself might not necessarily be able to do it.

"You must be able to do it."

Jing Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "Otherwise, all promises are void. If you must blame someone, blame your past life. If he hadn't done that wretched thing back then, if the power of the dragon could have been inherited completely, I wouldn't have had to force you at all."

"I said just now: you and I, standing here today, are each different."

"Dan Feng is no more, there is only Dan Heng."

"And as for me, I am already the Luo Fu General; even if I am reluctant, there are things I must do."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng fell silent.

Lord Yan Qing had already subconsciously drawn his sword and was looking at Dan Heng.

As long as the General gave the order, if this guy didn't agree, he would have to bind him.

Dan Heng: "..."

Seeing Lord Yan Qing's movement, Dan Heng's eyelids twitched, but he made no move.

"Let's talk about some happier topics."

The next second, Jing Yuan spoke slowly: "Your friends on the train are currently at the Palace of Astrum ahead. Let's go, meet them first; as for this favor, you will help me."

Saying this, Jing Yuan took the lead and walked forward.

Dan Heng followed.

"Do you know?"

As Jing Yuan began to walk, he continued: "Back when Dan Feng committed a grave crime, the Ten-Lords Commission insisted on destroying you. As for the Vidyadhara, half agreed, half opposed."

"Haha, because the dragon inheritance was only half-successful. The Vidyadhara Elders hated you to the core, yet they dared not kill you."

"In order to give an account to the Ten-Lords Commission and the Sky-Faring Commission, under pressure, they still performed the forced molting technique on Dan Feng, but they deliberately left a flaw."

"The Elders thought they could hide it from the Ten-Lords Commission—humph, what a clever scheme, but paper cannot wrap up fire."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Dan Heng did nothing but remain silent.

And Lord Yan Qing continued to follow.
