Chapter 1233: Dan Feng vs. Lord Dan Heng, Teyvat: It

【Arataki Itto: There are two Dan Heng brothers?!】

【Kuki Shinobu: You idiot boss, Lord Luo Feng already said it—even though those two look similar, only one is Dan Heng, and the other is the will of the High Elder, Lord Dan Feng.】

【Tartaglia: Dan Heng and the will of the past High Elder are going to duel? To think I'd actually get to see this.】

【Adeptus Li Shan Die: Is this considered a duel against one's inner demon?】

【Charlotte: A duel against an inner demon? Is that a Liyue term? If they fail, it shouldn't have any consequences, right?】

【Yanfei: A duel against an inner demon is no small matter. Success brings great benefits, but failure can severely impact a person's state of mind.】

【Adeptus Li Shan Die: Succeed, and the world opens up like the vast sea and sky. But if you fail... I have seen many who fell into madness after being defeated by their inner demons.】

【Xiangling: Oh no, won't Dan Heng be in danger?】

【Xiangling: And clearly, Lord Luo Feng only wanted to use the Memory Bubble to draw out Dan Heng's past, so why did this happen?】

【Yelan: After all, the memory being drawn out is that of Dan Heng's past life; it's understandable that something unusual would occur.】

【Navia: On the way to the Scalegorge Waterscape, Lord Luo Feng didn't trade memories with Dan Heng like he did with Blade. Perhaps he had already anticipated this.】

"How long do you intend to run?"

Lord Dan Feng pointed the tip of his spear at Dan Heng's throat and asked coldly.

Dan Heng looked at the person before him in surprise, and after a long silence, he finally spoke.

Dan Heng: "I do not belong here."

Lord Dan Feng: "You do not belong here? Then where do you belong?"

Dan Heng: "The me of now is a Nameless."

Lord Dan Feng: "Hmph! The sea of stars is vast, but it has nothing to do with you. The High Elder's legacy continues for eternity. Like the constancy of the ancient sea, it remains unchanged for generations."

Dan Heng frowned deeply and said: "That is your past!"

Lord Dan Feng: "No, as the reincarnation of the High Elder, you are but my reflection. The sins of the past life must be repaid in this one."

Hearing this, Dan Heng gritted his teeth and suddenly summoned his own spear, striking away the weapon Lord Dan Feng had pointed at his throat.

The immense power forced the two to put some distance between them.

"If you defy the clan rules, the lineage shall be severed."

"You shall be cast into eternal extinction, never to find release."

Lord Dan Feng's expression was stern as he transformed clear water into spears, attacking Dan Heng.

Seeing this, Dan Heng parried with his own spear and charged straight toward Lord Dan Feng.

But Lord Dan Feng merely waved his right hand, blocking Dan Heng's spear with the energy of a lotus strike.

"The prisoner Dan Heng acts on his own whims and must suffer eternal punishment."

The clear water beneath Lord Dan Feng's feet surged, lifting him into the air.

Then, with a gentle upward flick of his hand, towering waves of emerald water appeared, directly surrounding Dan Heng.

Within the tides behind Lord Dan Feng, the faint silhouette of a giant dragon reappeared.

"You have nowhere to run."

Lord Dan Feng waved his hand forward, and the giant dragon behind him finally manifested, swallowing Dan Heng, who had been caught off guard.

In that moment, Dan Heng felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ocean, his body sinking continuously.

【Dehya: No way, Dan Heng was defeated?】

【Dori: This looks rather ominous. Dan Heng's memory projection has been dragged to the bottom of the sea by Lord Dan Feng's memory projection, and Dan Heng's physical body is covered in cold sweat.】

【Adeptus Li Shan Die: If he is defeated now, the impact on Dan Heng will be dire.】

【Signora: But since Lord Luo Feng mentioned to Miss March 7th earlier that Dan Heng could be trusted, there shouldn't be any problem.】

【Dehya: That's right, since Luo Feng said so, Dan Heng will surely be able to turn the tables. Wait, why is there suddenly the voice of General Jing Yuan? Did General Jing Yuan come to the train again?】

【Rosaria: It is not General Jing Yuan who has arrived here; these voices must be what the past General Jing Yuan said to Dan Feng.】

【Dehya: I see, so it's the words of the past General Jing Yuan. Wait, no, besides the General's words, there are others.】

………………

Dan Heng's figure continued to sink in the water.

Faintly, a projection of Jing Yuan holding a verdict appeared in the water.

"The prisoner Dan Feng has committed ten great evils."

"In consideration of his past merits, he shall shed his scales and undergo reincarnation."

"Exiled to the outer realms, never to return for ten thousand generations."

As the words fell, Jing Yuan's projection dissipated.

Immediately after, one figure and voice after another appeared in the water.

Lady Jingliu: "Why must you act on your own whims..."

Long Shi: "Hand over the High Elder's secret arts, and the dragon masters might spare your life."

Cloud Knight: "Lord Dan Feng, why did you do this?"

Blade: "All of this is because of you!"

【Kaeya: So, Dan Heng was exiled from the Luofu Xianzhou by General Jing Yuan.】

【Dainsleif: That said, being exiled from the Xianzhou might not necessarily be a bad thing for Dan Heng.】

【Dehya: There are also the voices of Lady Jingliu and Blade. Are they blaming Dan Feng, or are they blaming Dan Heng?】

【Navia: As for Lady Jingliu, she is likely blaming Dan Feng. But Blade... I get the feeling he blames both Dan Heng and Dan Feng together.】

【Diluc: The words of the dragon masters and the Cloud Knights match the mirages encountered earlier at the Vidyadhara palace. It seems Dan Feng had already heard these voices while he was alive.】

【Adeptus Li Shan Die: The projection is becoming increasingly dim; this is not good for Dan Heng.】

【Xiangling: Adeptus, what will happen if the image goes completely dark?】

【Adeptus Li Shan Die: Perhaps Dan Heng will sink into total oblivion.】

【Xiangling: Wh... what?!】

【Xinyan: Hang in there, Dan Heng!】

"Dan Heng..."

Miss March 7th looked at the fading projection, then at Dan Heng's sweating physical body. The anxiety she felt was palpable to everyone present.

Just as Miss March 7th considered whether to use force to wake Dan Heng up,

the tide in the projection, which had gone completely dark, suddenly showed a glimmer of light.

Miss March 7th looked up and discovered that those lights were memory bubbles containing the memories of the train crew.

Because of their appearance, Dan Heng's projection, which had already closed its eyes, opened them once more.

"From today on, you are a member of the train."

Miss Himeko said gently.

Behind her, Mr. Welt Yang nodded with a smile.

"Dan Heng, leave the rest to you."

Miss March 7th said to Dan Heng with a happy expression.

Stelle stood behind Miss March 7th, waving at Dan Heng with a smile.

"Cheer up, Pao Pao. The jump is about to begin, Pao Pao."

Pom-Pom stood with hands on hips, speaking earnestly to Dan Heng.

Hum!

The overlapping memories jolted Dan Heng's spirit, and he fully awakened.

Looking at the reflection of Lord Dan Feng on the water's surface, Dan Heng swam with all his might, rushing toward the surface. ===== CHAPTER 1234 =====
