Chapter 1177 Mingxiao Martial Arts Competition Tests Skills (Part 2) 2
Paimon: I also think Yunli's idea is great... just like Nata's idea back then, why not pause?
Mavica: Hmm… Although both are ‘competitions,’ the Gui Huo Sheng Ye Pilgrimage and the Martial Arts Ceremony are different.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Uh… I think it's because the Holy Night Pilgrimage of Returning Fire is held for Nata, the participants are all Nata people, it's held frequently, and the purpose is to collect the Flames of Competition. Faced with the approaching Abyss and the well-known anomaly, temporarily suspending it is acceptable.
Mashu: But the martial arts ceremony is meant to demonstrate the stability and strength of the Immortal Ship, and it is held in front of the major powers of the universe. So we can't let it reveal any flaws at crucial moments.
Traveler: Not only that, there's also the issue of consumption.
Paimon: But what if, during the event, Hure causes a big problem in front of everyone?
Doctor: If we can just capture Hu Lei and that group of Bu Liren before the martial arts ceremony begins, everything will be fine.
Huh? That's what they say... but...
Doctor: After all, the Immortal Ship has three generals. These three generals seem to be working together, so there shouldn't be any problems. Perhaps someone on the Immortal Ship foresaw this and specifically sent Generals Feixiao and Huaiyan to assist.
Not everyone has clairvoyance...
Doctor: How can Yu Zhao not be considered a kind of clairvoyance?
Yun Li: All I know is that being a general is no easy task... Do I really have to think about so many things? No wonder Brother Yanqing is always trying to share the burdens of his general.
Yanqing: Now you know, right?
Paimon: I understand. So from the Seven Kingdoms to Arillow VI and Pinocchio, they only talked about some of the big events and kept some hidden, just to keep people calm.
Al-Hysen: Yes, once people's hearts are in turmoil, then before a greater crisis arrives, humanity itself will cause great harm to those around it; that's just the truth.
Yun Li: Sigh, I never expected that the first method I thought of would be the mastermind's favorite...
A type that's always accurate →_→
Huaiyan knew very well that someone was behind Hu Lei's prison break and Bu Li's spying incident, and the mastermind wanted to see Luofu fall into chaos.
Having come up with a terrible idea, Yun Li couldn't think of any other way and could only ask Huai Yan what he planned to do. Meanwhile, the old general planned to conduct a secret search and arrest while maintaining the status quo in Luofu.
Yun Li told Huai Yan that Yan Qing had disappeared without a trace. How could everything be normal with the defending swordsman absent?
Huaiyan chuckled and said that this was the reason he had called Yunli and Sanyueqi over. Sanyueqi belatedly realized that something was wrong, especially after confirming that Huaiyan did indeed intend for her to defend the arena.
Yun Li was somewhat puzzled. Wasn't this a bad idea? What if they thought the immortal ship was unmanned? Huai Yan cheerfully explained the deeper meaning to her and had Yu Kong inform the two of the subsequent arrangements.
Speaking of which, Hu Lei's prison break during his visit and the three kids discovering the spy were both related to Jiao Qiu, and then that unlucky little guy got caught.
Pepper Hill: ...This is no longer just a problem for a little unlucky guy.
Makze: He's an incredibly unlucky guy.
Jiaoqiu: Alas!
March 7th: Huanlong is really too bad!
Paimon: Exactly! That's awful! Even worse than the princes of the Fatui!
Son: ???
Paimon: ...Alright, the young master is alright, then let's say he's worse than the lady and the skirmishers!
Lady: Little one, who are you talking about?
Young Master: It's one thing for the captain and the servant, but why don't you mention the Doctor?
Paimon: Because, because he's just too wicked to be compared to.
Young Master: That's all.
Scattered Soldier: You're satisfied with him being at the bottom?
Just like the previous Arillow VI and Pinocchio, it concealed its waves beneath the surface of the sea.
Sigh... Just like Elhesen said, speaking out would only create more chaos. Solving the problem secretly and keeping everything normal is actually a good thing for ordinary people. After all, even if they knew, they could only worry helplessly, and it might even put them in danger.
Yun Li: So Yan Qing, you ran away on your own? And then General Fei Xiao caught you? Hmph, you were criticizing me before, but you didn't expect this to happen!
Yanqing: Everything is as usual... Uh... But... the martial arts ceremony hasn't started yet, let me help investigate first...
General Feixiao: Oh dear~ these little kids are in such a hurry~
Jiaoqiu: That's why there's a saying about youthful vigor~
Yun Li: Now we need to figure out a way to replace the runaway swordsman for Yan Qing, right?
Yanqing: This…
March 7th: Huh? Me? Me?
General Jingyuan: It's not impossible, after all, he's a disciple of the Luofu Cloud Cavalry.
Qiong: That's the gist of it, that's the situation, March 7th! Let's go! I'll be cheering you on, carrying Danheng's hopes~
March 7: →_→ So as soon as you came out of the prison, you didn't even ask where I was, and went straight to find Yanqing?
Qiong: You can't just talk about me, there's also Danheng.
Given the nameless guest's strange reputation mentioned earlier, is it really an honor to invite him?
...Ahem, in the vast universe, the Nameless One's reputation still rests with righteous figures like Mikhail! Hmm!
March 7th: After all, the abstract is all about the dome (swearing confidently).
Qiong: Are you planning to give me your pot too?
The main point is that there are many talented people on the anonymous forum, which doesn't actually conflict much with creating fun content...
In short, to most people in the universe, is the Nameless One an 'abstract good person'?
To be more precise, he could be described as a 'reckless knight-errant'.
March 7th: Wait a minute? What's the next plan?
Yanqing: My story with Teacher Qiong is over, and your story with Yunli is over too…
Qiong: Understood! Danheng!
Dan Heng:......
Three hours before the martial arts ceremony begins - in the prison
General Jingyuan, along with Danheng and Lingsha, together with Han Ya representing the Ten Kings Division, confirmed the current situation of the Prison of Imprisonment.
Han Ya informed the general of Xue Yi's situation and announced that he would temporarily assume Xue Yi's duties, ordering the Golden Soul Reapers and Underworld Messengers to subdue the out-of-control areas on each level.
General Jingyuan nodded and told her that he would take Ling Sha and Dan Heng to the depths of the Youju Prison to investigate clues.
The crow tried to dissuade him, but seeing his insistence and sound reasoning, it didn't stop him. It simply told him that the Ten Kings' Division would fully assist the general in making his decision.
Yanqing: This time it should be the general's side, right?
March 7th: Everyone was right!
Fujimaru Ritsuka: I just didn't expect that among the general, the nameless guest, and the Immortal Boatman's group, the Immortal Boatman was Ling Sha.
Paimon: But it doesn't seem surprising. When the Bu Liren attacked the Prison of Confinement and came to the rescue, they brought along a medic or something...
Such a big matter, and the representative of the Ten Kings Division is still Han Ya, hahaha~ Is Han Ya in charge of Luofu?
Maranie: There was supposed to be a snowsuit, but the snowsuit…
Admin Q: Xueyi is probably loading the resurrection bar.
Qiong: It's clear that General Jingyuan is in a great hurry this time; he didn't even bother with a long pleasantry.
General Jingyuan: Of course, Jingyuan knows when to act swiftly and decisively.
March 7th: Sigh, we were supposed to have fun, but the three of us were split into three groups, and we're so busy... Hmm? No, wait, isn't this just turning into a surprise attack by the general?
Qiong: Wrong, this time, we are the generals' surprise force.
March 7th: Can this surprise attack be shared too?
Paimon: Uh, the Celestial Ship and Heavenly Generals share a secret weapon?
Administrator Q: No, it's a shared secret weapon used by various planets, worlds, and factions.
March 7: →_→ The more you talk about it, the more useful we seem?
Doctor: ...It's like this.
Speaking of starting off, let's talk about madmen...
Outlaws?
Doctor: Speaking of which, General Jingyuan's two companions are both from the Chiming clan. It's a pity that Huo Huo isn't with the Judge, otherwise each of the three groups could have a fox-person.
Flying Clouds, Soaring Sky, and Huo Huo, right? Haha~ We can also divide it up with Chi Ming, and add White Dew too~
No matter how you divide it, it can't be divided equally...
Oh no, seeing General Jingyuan say that General Feixiao had a warm heart... I don't know why, but it made me think of "a kind and compassionate person," and then...
General Feixiao: Alas…
Jiaoqiu: Cough cough!
Ling Sha: It seems the general already knows the identity of the person behind the scenes.
Dan Heng: ...It's not hard to guess, but we still lack evidence.
General Jingyuan: Oh dear, so busy... It's been hard on you two, working alongside me.
Danheng: Not surprising, after all, the general does like to use surprise tactics.
General Jingyuan: Ahem, this isn't about surprise attacks...
Ling Sha asked the general where he planned to start his investigation. Jing Yuan's first target was the Bu Li people who disguised themselves as fox people. Ling Sha said that she had already had the physical evidence prepared.
Ling Sha brought the remains of the Bu Li people that Yan Qing and the other two had previously tracked down at Huixing Port. The alchemists detected some complex medicinal components in them, which seemed to be the reason why the Bu Li people turned into fox people.
Simply put, fox people and Buli people share the same origin. Although they look very different now, there is not much difference between them at the genetic level. This drug allows Buli people to temporarily change their appearance and appear as fox people.
In other words, once the medication is stopped, the body will return to its original state, and Jingyuan is very familiar with the formula and the method.
Ling Sha sighed. The secret teachings of the Medicine King couldn't be completely eradicated; this time, the Pill Refining Department would likely be implicated again.
Yanqing: More drugs?
Paimon: I thought it was some kind of transformation spell or high-tech projection disguise, since you guys always mention things like Immortal Boat Technology.
Traveler: After all, it was the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司) that conducted the inspection, so naturally they found medicine. If it were the high-tech stuff you're talking about, then it would be the craftsmen from the Gong Zao Si (工造司) who would inspect and report.
The similarity between fox-people and Buli people is probably that they are both canines.
It does look familiar. When Huanlong caused trouble before, didn't the cultivators of the Medicine King's secret techniques also have various transformations...?
Doctor: I'm thinking, could the real common origin be that if fox people don't suppress their demonic bodies, after a few generations they'll also become like the Bu Li people? Conversely, if the Bu Li people restrain their bodies…
Who knows
Long ago, the fox-people and the nomadic people lived in the same world, one farming and the other herding. Even then, their relationship was not good.
