Bochang instinctively felt resistant to Herta's enthusiastic deanor, though he couldn't quite pinpoint why; it simply didn't sit well with him.
This ti, Welt Yang stepped in to diffuse the situation, saying, "Lady Herta, while I understand your curiosity, there are more pressing matters for Luofu Immortal Continent to attend to at present."
General Jing Yuan nodded in agreent.
From the beginning, Jing Yuan had focused solely on guarding against threats such as the Abundance Entities, Stellaron Hunters, and Disciples of Sanctus dicus... He never anticipated the involvent of the Antimatter Legion in Xianzhou Luofu's affairs.
In essence...
The ergence of this Lord Ravager disrupted Jing Yuan's plans entirely.
This disruption threw Jing Yuan's plans off course. Initially, he had prepared to confront the Abundance Emanator, but now it had beco the Destruction Emanator instead.
It was akin to a student who had diligently pre-studied physics only to suddenly learn that the exam would cover mathematics instead.
In short, it left him quite disoriented.
As this thought crossed his mind, Jing Yuan's gaze involuntarily fell upon Herta.
The arrival of this Omniscient Heavenly Monarch Emanator couldn't have been more tily. With her assistance, even the Destruction Emanator posed little threat. Moreover, Jing Yuan had another group of helpers—the Astral Express crew.
Forget just one Destruction Emanator; even if another Abundance Emanator erged, Jing Yuan remained undaunted.
Of course...
Despite his calmness, it was crucial to swiftly address the matter of the Tree of Foundation and not let other issues waste Herta's ti. General Jing Yuan well understood the principle that delays invite complications.
"Miss Herta, why don't we proceed together to Scalegorge Waterscape and confront Lord Ravager? As for Bochang's situation...we can discuss it after taking care of this task. After all, he won't be leaving anyti soon," suggested the Cloud Knight General, effectively extending an invitation to team up.
Herta shifted her gaze away from Bochang, murmured briefly, and then agreed, "That works. I haven't yet settled accounts with them for the Antimatter Legion's attack on the space station last ti... Let's seize this opportunity to address both old and new grievances."
As previously ntioned, the Matrix of Prescience's talismanic principles originated from the Erudition Era—the concept of Nous, which is what Jing Yuan referred to as the Heavenly Monarch Bian Shi. This connection indicated the close ties between the Xianzhou Alliance and factions from the Erudition Era, particularly involving Herta herself.
From this interaction, it was evident that the relationship between the Xianzhou Alliance and the Erudition Aeon faction was quite amicable.
Notably, Herta had previously assisted Xianzhou in battling the Abundant Evil creatures, further strengthening their bond.
This also explained why, despite the blockade on Xianzhou Luofu, they allowed Herta entry.
Of course...
Even if Xianzhou Luofu hadn't permitted her access, Herta had nurous ways to infiltrate secretly; however, there was simply no need for such stealth when she could enter openly through the main gate.
Upon receiving Herta's affirmative response, Jing Yuan appeared highly satisfied. March 7th then asked, "General Jing Yuan... what should our Astral Express crew do next? Surely we're not expected to continue playing around out here?"
"Of course not. In fact... I've already begun mobilizing the Cloud Knights for a direct assault on the Alchemy Commission... If you have spare ti, you could assist there. By my calculations, Minister Fu is currently short-handed..." Jing Yuan smiled warmly at March 7th.
The Cloud General's eyes were small, narrowing further into slits when he smiled.
If Bochang hadn't witnessed Jing Yuan's godlike strike earlier, he too might have been deceived by his affable deanor.
"Attack the Alchemy Commission? Why? Isn't it one of Xianzhou's own departnts? And... isn't the Master Diviner focused on capturing Stellaron Hunters?" March 7th looked astonished.
Apart from the pink-haired girl, Bochang, Stelle, Serval, including Bailu and Qingque, all displayed expressions of shock.
Jing Yuan's revelation was truly astonishing.
Only Welt Yang, stroking his chin thoughtfully, asked, "Is it because of the Disciples of Sanctus dicus?"
"Indeed... Mr. Welt, as expected. Despite having arrived at Xianzhou not long ago, you already know so much." Jing Yuan nodded. "The current Stellaron Crisis in Xianzhou encompasses both external threats and internal strife."
"And this internal strife stems from a hidden malicious organization claiming to represent the abundance of people—the Disciples of Sanctus dicus. They have been lurking for millennia, gradually gaining control over the Alchemy Commission without anyone noticing. Fortunately, Bailu managed to escape, narrowly avoiding their persecution."
"As for the Stellaron Hunters, they are no longer of significant importance now."
Jing Yuan delivered this information in one breath.
It largely aligned with Welt Yang's earlier suspicions.
Upon further investigation into the Disciples of Sanctus dicus, Welt had uncovered their murky connection with the Alchemy Commission.
Additionally, after the Stellaron disaster struck...
The near-complete loss of contact with the Alchemy Commission raised suspicions for Welt Yang's keen senses.
If not for Fake Tingyun's interference, he would likely be en route to the commission right now.
Bailu, still shaken, patted her flat chest in relief.
"Phew... So it seems I made the right choice fleeing quickly. Otherwise, those villains might have captured ."
"Not exactly..."
"It should be said—thanks to Bochang, otherwise...this miss wouldn't have hastily escaped from the forbidden residence."
Bailu lifted her head and gently swatted his sturdy waist with her tail.
Bochang rely ruffled the little dragon girl's hair, showing no intention of responding verbally.
"When exactly are we setting out? Staying here is so boring..." Herta placed one hand on her hip.
Jing Yuan said, "Miss Herta, don't worry; we'll depart shortly."
"For confronting Lord Ravager this ti, do you still require assistance?"
Welt Yang pushed up his black-frad glasses.
If possible, Welt Yang wished to participate in the battle against Lord Ravager.
"Of course, without help...this Scalegorge Waterscape won't be easy to navigate."
As Jing Yuan spoke, his gaze shifted past Welt Yang and locked onto Dan Heng, who attempted to look away.
Everyone noticed this exchange.
Jing Yuan continued, "Dan Feng, co with us."
The cloud knight extended his hand.
Amidst astonished gazes, Jing Yuan invited Dan Heng, using an unfamiliar na.
A silence instantly fell over the room.
After a mont...
The stoic little azure dragon slowly began speaking.
"General, you should be aware of Vidyadhara's nature regarding rebirth through the samsara cycle. The ancient sea waters have cleansed everything from Dan Feng; he is no longer present... The person standing before you now is Dan Heng..."
"I hope, General, when looking at , please discard any shadows of the past."
To be frank, there had been no shortage of surprises today.
From Tingyun being secretly replaced by Lord Ravager and staying among them all along, to Dan Heng suddenly transforming into a young dragon-like creature, and finally to Bochang miraculously restoring the most devastated areas of the Exalting Sanctum and saving nurous innocent citizens of Xianzhou...
Each extraordinary event had nearly numbed everyone's senses.
Now learning that Dan Heng and Jing Yuan were old acquaintances seed unsurprising.
Bochang simply wore an expression akin to watching a drama unfold, while March 7th and others displayed similar reactions. They quietly listened to the conversation between Jing Yuan and Dan Heng.
The stoic little azure dragon initially didn't want to leave with this Cloud Knight General. However, after his persuasive argunts, Dan Heng eventually yielded.
