Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 127 Jianmu is Gone

Danheng brought Bailu to teach her how to seal the Jianmu tree, and also to teach her how to maintain the seal on the Jianmu tree.

Although we encountered some unpleasant people on the way, there weren't many. Recently, Luofu has been searching everywhere for people who collude with the Medicine King's Secret Teachings. Once the Ten Kings Division finds someone, they drag them to a quiet place and kill them on the spot.

This behavior is comparable to the ancient practice of punishing nine generations of a family.

Oh, no, that's not the case, otherwise Bailu wouldn't be here now.

General Jingyuan knew that Danheng was taking Bailu to Jianmu and offered to send someone to protect her, but Danheng refused.

After all, he could see that the Cloud Cavalry was short-handed. The Six Emperors had to split each man into five, and after eliminating a considerable number of traitors, they were even more insufficient.

So let's not tire General Jingyuan out; let's find someone ourselves.

So Danheng sent a message to Xing, who was the head steward in Jinren Lane, asking her to come and help him.

Xing: I came here because I could smell it!

Of course, it's still quite a journey from Jinren Alley to Linyuan Realm.

The agreement was to meet in Lin Yuan Realm, so Dan Heng took Bai Lu to the cave where Jianmu Xuan Gen was located.

After leaving the Shence Mansion, they successfully arrived at Lin Yuan Realm via the Construction Bureau and the Pill Cauldron Bureau.

As soon as she stepped off the Star Chariot, a gust of wind rushed towards her, almost blowing Bai Lu away.

With lightning speed, Dan Heng conjured a spear called "Strike the Clouds" and thrust it into the ground. He grabbed Bai Lu, who was already suspended in mid-air, with one hand and used the other to firmly hold himself in place.

Although Bailu's tail accidentally hit her face, it didn't hurt.

After getting used to the strong wind, Danheng managed to open his eyes.

Then suddenly several enormous creatures covered with ginkgo leaves rushed towards us.

Danheng: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴.

This welcoming ceremony was far too intense.

Dan Heng's expression froze for a moment. He immediately drew his spear and, using the wind, flicked away several strange creatures before returning to his original position to avoid being blown away.

Bai Lu hugged his neck tightly, her two little braids flying wildly in the wind.

Strange creatures kept flying past me.

Danheng didn't understand where the wind came from, how long those monstrous creatures had been entrenched here, and how the sacred land of Chiming had been turned into this state. Anyone who didn't know better would think this was the stronghold of abundant monstrous creatures.

If Danfeng were here, he would definitely go crazy and curse things like "This is outrageous!"

After a long while, the strong winds gradually subsided and stopped.

That was close; I was almost out of energy.

Dan Heng released his grip, put Bai Lu down, bent over, and held his knees, panting.

Bai Lu hurriedly combed her hair and tail, then quickly looked at Dan Heng:

"Mr. Danheng, are you alright?"

"fine."

Danheng straightened up and led Bailu toward Yubie's statue:

"Although I don't know what's going on, let's wait here for a while. I'll tell you how to seal the mystic root of the Jianmu tree... Huh?"

After walking a long way, I arrived at the Yu Bie statue, which had stood there for who knows how many years. I looked up...

The dragon-shaped Jianmu Xuan Gen, which I had seen countless times in countless lifetimes, is gone.

Bai Lu followed Dan Heng's gaze and blinked, "Have we... come to the wrong place? But this is Lin Yuan Realm."

She's been here many times.

Although the sea cannot be opened, Bai Lu can still see the mysterious roots of the Jianmu tree. The dragon-shaped root system looks down heavily on the Dragon Palace, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

But now...

Where are the roots?

The mysterious roots of the Jianmu tree, which were originally visible directly from the statue, are now... gone.

The two little dragons tilted their heads in unison.

What exactly happened?

--------------

After dealing with the root system of the Jianmu tree, Lan said she felt much better.

The surroundings were indeed a mess, but that didn't matter; someone else would take care of it anyway.

At least one of the Vidyadhara eggs was not broken.

In response, Yunzhi could only say: "Whatever makes you happy, General."

The roots of the Jianmu tree should have penetrated deep into the keel of the immortal ship and grown together with Luofu. That's why the starship reacted so strongly when Lan shot that arrow.

However, it did not cause much damage.

Before the arrow pierced the Jianmu tree and caused its root system to collapse from the inside out, the power of the arrow then spread throughout the entire dragon bone through the root system, supporting the starship in place of the Jianmu's mystical roots.

For Lan, who is a star god, this is not a burden.

It can be considered as getting rid of a major threat. After all, the Jianmu tree, which I had been thinking about for so long when I was still human, has finally been dealt with.

"Without a doubt, Shence is going to lose a lot of feathers."

Yun said jokingly.

Fortunately, General Shence had thick hair.

That amount of hair is truly enviable.

Lan didn't care: "It's time to let him know the importance of cultivating a successor."

"He's been training him all along," Yunzhi said. "Isn't Fu Xuan from the Grand Diviner's Office one?"

"Haven't you made any progress yet?" Lan remained noncommittal.

"Fu Xuan has done a good job, but he's just being a bit too sharp right now."

Yun Zhi has a high opinion of Fu Xuan. After all, having ambition is much better than being unambitious, isn't it?

Lan shook her head: "I haven't learned the most important thing yet."

Being a general is not just about ability; the key is learning to be appropriately oblivious.

However, it's crucial to know when to be confused, especially regarding power struggles among subordinates. Normally, if nothing serious happens, it can be treated as amusement, but like the last time...

"If you're referring to those three diviners, the Shence Prefecture has already thrown them into the Ten Kings' Division, but at most it'll just be considered attempted murder."

After all, they didn't cause much damage while they were here.

Those three diviners are capable enough; going too far would be counterproductive.

It's too complicated; let Shence handle it.

Lan didn't seem to care much about it: "Shence is indeed getting old."

"Yes, yes, but they can live a long time." Yun Zhi said nonchalantly, "We'll see what happens if something really happens... Oh dear, aren't those two brats Dan Heng and Bai Lu?"

Why are those two children in the statue square? Why don't they just come down?

"Danheng—"

Yun waved his hand, having just uttered the words.

Lan suddenly grabbed him: "Someone's coming. Hide your presence."

Yun immediately concealed all his aura and hid himself.

Lan's tone was serious, so Yun naturally had to obey.

Then, a woman dressed as a maidservant, accompanied by two voluptuous creatures, came before Danheng and spoke to him with an extremely unpleasant expression.

That's not a compliment.

and......

"...Why do the Vidyadharas and those wicked creatures appear so openly?"

Yunzhi no longer had the strength to howl.

Lan's expression remained calm.

Very calm.

But Yun Zhi could still sense the silence in Lan's heart—
