Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 154

「“The Stellaron Hunters do have a plot, that’s true. Haha, she sent you all here, deliberately escalating the situation so you would fight alongside the Xianzhou. Now, your sincerity is beyond doubt… the Luofu owes you a debt of gratitude, and shouldn’t ask for more.”」

「Jing Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of seriousness flashing within: “But as Fu Qing said, Phantylia’s appearance has made the situation uncontrollable. As the General of the Luofu, I must borrow Dan Heng’s strength, and ask for your full assistance.”」

「“Even if the Luofu’s crisis wasn’t related to the Stellaron, I wouldn’t stand idly by with my personality. But my will alone cannot represent the Astral Express.” Welt looked solemnly at March 7th and Stelle, now was the time to state his position.」

「“Explore, understand, establish, connect… the Trailblaze Path that the Express crew follows is nothing more than these eight words. The journey is arduous, and to implement them is harder than ascending to the heavens.”」

「“Whether they advance or leave, the Nameless’ destination should be chosen by themselves… just like when deciding on a destination on the Express, casting that vote with their own hands.”」

「After Welt finished speaking, March 7th and Stelle exchanged a tacit glance, and after confirming each other’s thoughts, they nodded in unison.」

「They walked up to Dan Heng, reached out their hands, and looked forward to his response: “Dan Heng, you…”」

「After a moment of hesitation, Dan Heng finally extended his hand.」

「“Thank you, Dan Heng.” Jing Yuan smiled.」

「“I am not standing here as a Nameless. Because my coming and going on this trip was manipulated by others, I have no freedom to speak of…” Dan Heng shook his head, sighed, and looked at Jing Yuan: “But I will fulfill my responsibility to the Luofu as a Vidyadhara descendant.”」

「“Great, everyone is as righteous as when they came.” March 7th confidently put her hands on her hips and looked up at Jing Yuan: “So, what brilliant plan does the General have next?”」

「“There is no brilliant plan, only a gamble. A gamble on the Vidyadhara Elder’s half-shedding scales technique, a gamble on Dan Heng being able to regain the memories of the Dragon Lord…”」

「Although he said the word “gamble,” there was no trace of worry on Jing Yuan’s face. From beginning to end, he had a confident smile.」

“This Phantylia… seems stronger than I expected.”

Natlan, the Arena of the Sacred Flame.

As a leader herself, Mavia could understand Jing Yuan’s cautious attitude towards a powerful enemy. But she suddenly realized that there might be a huge gap between Emanators.

Jing Yuan, as an Emanator of the Hunt, had demonstrated his strength in front of everyone. His amazing skills were still unforgettable for Mavia. Moreover, with the help of his Divine General, in terms of strength alone, the entire Luofu Xianzhou should not be able to find anyone stronger than him.

But even someone as strong as Jing Yuan had to seek the help of the Dragon Lord and the joint assistance of the Express crew to deal with Phantylia. As an Emanator herself, how strong was this Destruction’s Lord… really?

“Could the strength of an Emanator be related to the Aeon itself?” Caska saw what Mavia was wondering: “I remember Mr. Welt said that the Hunt Aeon is a relatively young Aeon, and in terms of power, it is not particularly outstanding among all the Aeons.”

“…That possibility cannot be ruled out.”

Mavia slightly curved her lips: “But this also makes me more curious—excluding those Aeons who only exist in legends and rarely take action, the strongest person I have personally seen in the light curtain is Jing Yuan… but an Emanator that even he is so wary of, Caska, aren’t you curious about her combat performance?”

「“Dragon Lord?” March 7th looked confused.」

「Her current expression was like a supporting character in a novel, whose brother who fooled around with her every day was actually hiding his identity as the Dragon King. The three-year period had arrived, and she only realized it when he returned to his position.」

「“In the past, although the Ambrosial Arbor was chopped down by Emperor Bowstring, the curse of the Lord of Death and Pestilence still remained.” Jing Yuan turned to look at the Dragon Lord statue in the center of the Exalting Sanctum: “In order to seal it, the Luofu requested the power of the [Immortality] Dragon Descendants, making it possible to tame the remains of the Ambrosial Arbor.”」

「The group followed Jing Yuan’s gaze. Although time had passed and the huge Dragon Lord statue was slightly dilapidated, the sight of him holding a spear and pointing at the Ambrosial Arbor, even after thousands of years, allowed everyone to feel the heroic and proud demeanor of the Dragon Lord in the past.」

「“Under the auspices of the ancient Dragon Lord, the Vidyadhara guided the water of the ancient sea to submerge the Scalegorge Waterscape, using it as a container to seal the Ambrosial Arbor. To commemorate this feat and sacrifice, the Xianzhou Alliance erected the Exalting Sanctum in the Scalegorge Waterscape, leaving behind the Vidyadhara’s statue.”」

「Following Jing Yuan’s explanation, the group slowly walked to the statue.」

「When they got closer, everyone realized that the statue looked exactly like Dan Heng!」

「“This statue looks like Dan Heng, could it be…” March 7th squinted her eyes and carefully looked at Dan Heng up and down, “The person on the statue is…”」

「“—Dan Heng’s brother!” March 7th once again showed her amazing wisdom.」

「“…” Dan Heng sighed silently, thinking she was finally going to use her brain.」

「“Haha, just a slight resemblance, that was a long time ago.” Jing Yuan smiled slightly, “Strictly speaking, the images of the successive Dragon Lords are indeed similar—except for the current generation. The current successor of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord is just a small child who inherited the name, and has not inherited all the power.”」

「“Dan Heng, do you understand? After Dan Feng’s death, the Vidyadhara of the Luofu no longer have anyone who can do this. You, who once guarded the Ambrosial Arbor, should be able to open the way to the Ambrosial Arbor for us.”」

Liyue, Bubu Pharmacy.

“So, Miss Bailu is really the Dragon Lord?” Xingqiu scratched his head, still finding it hard to believe: “For a dignified Vidyadhara Dragon Lord to want to be a doctor, isn’t that a bit too…”

“Unprofessional?” Baizhu took over Xingqiu’s words and said with a faint smile.

“…Uh, Mr. Baizhu, I didn’t mean it that way.” Xingqiu was a little puzzled: “As a Dragon Lord, shouldn’t she focus on the internal affairs of the Vidyadhara? It’s certainly good that Miss Bailu likes to heal the sick and save people, but if she puts down the Vidyadhara’s internal affairs because of this, it feels… a bit like abandoning the fundamentals.”

“My point of view is different from yours.” Baizhu looked at the lights of Liyue outside Bubu Pharmacy: “The Dragon Lord is certainly important, but a Dragon Lord whose power is not complete may not be that important in the clan. Compared to the power struggles of the Dragon Masters in the clan, it’s good that Miss Bailu can stay out of it and live the life she wants.”

“Besides… although Miss Bailu has superb medical skills, her mind is still that of a child, pure and kind… such a person is best manipulated in front of people with ulterior motives.”

“If I were her… I’m afraid I would stay in the Alchemy Commission forever, right?”
