"Don't worry, I'll handle other things. You just need to get this done."
257 Attempt to temporarily dispel the demonic influence of the blade.
"As for the local delicacies on the Immortal Ship, there are many, such as lotus root cake, tapir bun rolls, and soda soy milk that only old Immortal Ship residents drink."
"Ugh... that soda soy milk, I almost threw up last time I drank it."
On March 7th, when I saw the drink that Bai Zhi pointed to, I immediately got goosebumps and was reminded of some unpleasant memories.
That was the strange taste that hit me right in the head after I gulped down this drink after someone recommended it to me.
"Ahem, that's what the old-school Immortal Boat people drink. We younger folks drink Immortal Happy Tea. And don't be fooled by how bustling this place is, the really good food is all over Jinren Alley."
Bai Zhi looked regretful, as she didn't get to see and take pictures of the soda soy milk drinker on March 7th. It was a real shame.
Who wouldn't want to see a beautiful girl looking troubled?
"Jinren Alley? I've heard people mention it online. It seems to be a good place for old Xianzhou people to go back to."
Old Yang pushed up his glasses and said.
"Uncle Yang is right. Master Bailu and I often go to Jinren Lane to eat. Although it has declined a bit now, it is still a top-notch place when it comes to food."
"Old Xianzhou people, it's not the same thing as soda soy milk, is it?"
March 7th seemed a little hesitant, as the food eaten by the previous old Xianzhou man could hardly be considered a delicacy.
"Don't worry, Sister March 7th. It's real food. For example, the Penglai Grass Jelly is delicious. Master Bailu and I often go there."
Bai Zhi said earnestly.
"Grass jelly?" Upon hearing this name, March 7 breathed a sigh of relief. It sounded much more normal than soda soy milk, so it probably wouldn't taste bad.
“I trust Xiaobaizhi’s taste. Xiaosanyue, let’s go.” Old Yang made the final decision.
"Yes, it's a short distance south."
Soon, Bai Zhi led the group to the entrance of Jinren Alley.
This area hasn't yet gone through the storyline of reviving the Golden Man Alley in the game, so it looks somewhat desolate.
"Does this kind of street really have good food?"
Standing at the entrance of the alley, March 7th seemed a little hesitant. Logically speaking, a place with delicious food should be bustling with people, so why is it so quiet and deserted?
"It looks like there are very few people, right? That's just because young people prefer the newly built commercial centers, so the popularity of these old streets has slowly disappeared."
"But that doesn't change the fact that the food here is really great. After all, if it were really bad, these restaurants wouldn't have been open for hundreds of years."
"Several hundred years?!" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm, even a few hundred years in the Immortal Shipyard wouldn't be considered an old brand. It would take at least a thousand years to be considered one. But even so, these shops are still very good."
"For example, I especially like the Drunken Shrimp Balls from that restaurant over there. Look, it's the plate in front of that black-haired man..."
As Bai Zhi spoke, her tone gradually became strange.
The black-haired man's silhouette and clothes looked vaguely familiar—a black trench coat with spider lily patterns, and that build...
Could it be him?
Bai Zhi thought to herself.
"Little Angelica, what's wrong?"
Sensing that Bai Zhi's tone was a bit off, San Yueqi turned her head curiously.
"No, it's nothing. I just saw an acquaintance. To be precise, it might be an acquaintance of Brother Danheng."
"Eh? Someone Danheng knows."
On March 7th, she suddenly became interested. Danheng's background had always been a mystery in the train crew. All she knew was that Danheng was a Xianzhou person and that some of his recent experiences indicated that he belonged to the Chiming Clan. She knew nothing else.
It's very mysterious.
Now that she has the chance to gossip a bit, she's naturally very willing.
"How about we go up and chat with him, and grab some food from Jinren Alley while we're at it?"
March 7th proposed.
"I think it's okay, but this is an acquaintance of Brother Danheng, and he might have a rather volatile temper, so you should be careful."
Bai Zhi gave a word of advice, but wasn't overly wary. Although Brother Dian Dao seemed crazy, he wouldn't kill any members of the train crew, especially since Lao Yang was there too.
Although Lao Yang's strength is not comparable to that of the Commander, he is still considered to be in the first tier below the Commander.
"Boss, three servings of Yaochi Drunken Shrimp Balls, one serving of Yunyou Sihai Soup, and one serving of Treading Waves Seafood Stew."
Upon entering the shop, Bai Zhi greeted him familiarly.
"Oh, it's Xiao Baizhi! I heard you're going to be crowned Dragon Lord soon. I thought you'd be too busy to come here for dinner."
The proprietress greeted us warmly.
"There is still time to eat, and the food here is so good that I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat it for a day."
When the landlady mentioned the words "coronation of the Dragon Sovereign," Ren, who was engrossed in eating, couldn't help but raise his head and look at Bai Zhi with a fierce glint in his eyes.
But when he saw Bai Zhi's appearance, the fierce light in Ren's eyes slowly faded.
This is not the person I remember.
"Sir, you seem... a bit off?"
Bai Zhi keenly sensed this opening, pretended to be curious and walked over to Ren, then sat down in front of him.
"...You don't need to tell me what to do, get out of here!"
"Blade said in a low voice."
Upon seeing this, March 7th wanted to say something, but Old Yang shook his head at her.
Although Lao Yang didn't know what was going on, he could tell that Ren's state was not right. The killing intent that was about to burst out of control was not something an ordinary person could have.
Bai Zhi must have her own reasons for moving so close.
We shouldn't interfere too much with ourselves.
“Sir, I am a physician from the Dan Ding Division. I see that you are full of anger, and your inner emotions seem to be in turmoil. Such strong emotions may not be a good sign.”
Ren closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, as if suppressing something, and said in a low voice, "Kid, don't you understand what I'm saying? Go away, I don't need you to tell me what to do."
"No problem, but sir, could you please extend your hand so I can examine your condition? I'll leave as soon as I'm done, no questions asked."
Blade's lips twitched, but he still reached out his hand.
"Kid, remember what you said: don't bother me after you've finished reading!"
"Of course~"
Bai Zhi smiled, placed her hand on it, and then... the horse talisman was activated!
A level 2 Horse Talisman cannot cure the Demonic Yin Body, but it does have a very powerful effect: after the Horse Talisman releases its power, the target will be immune to negative effects for a certain period of time.
If Bai Zhi's guess is correct, the Demonic Yin Body should also be a negative effect.
In other words, she can temporarily remove the blade from its demonic state.
258 You kidnapped me, how about it?
.......
After the power of the horse talisman subsided, Blade fell silent.
"Sir, are you alright?"
Bai Zhi tried asking.
“Very good, little girl. In fact, I’ve never been this good. Your ability is even more powerful than Kafka’s Word of Power. It’s even able to suppress my demonic state.”
Ren raised his head, and his originally murderous crimson pupils became much clearer.
"After all, I am the future Dragon Lord, so I still need to have some special skills."
After picking up a shrimp ball from the proprietress's plate and popping it into her mouth, Bai Zhi said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is beyond description. With such an ability, the Immortal Ship should have surrounded you and protected you tightly, but you are now appearing on this remote street."
Having temporarily lost the influence of the Demonic Yin Body, Blade's thinking ability has undoubtedly improved significantly.
It can suppress the demonic body, and not in the way Kafka does, but rather in a way similar to removing its influence. He can still feel the amplified power that the demonic body experiences after being trapped in it.
But attempts to arouse this power did not affect his sanity.
This incredible ability, in the Immortal Ship, is, without a doubt, more important than a general.
With such a person appearing in front of me, could it be that I'm surrounded by Cloud Cavalry?
"Although it's remote, Jinren Alley holds the memories of the old Immortal Ship people, which is why you came here seeking a sense of familiarity, don't you think so, Ren... or Yingxing?"
Ren's eyes narrowed, and he placed his hand on the sword wound. However, because the power of the horse talisman suppressed his demonic state, he was extremely restrained and did not attack immediately.
"So, you're here to arrest me?"
The script for Elio states that he will be captured, and following this script, he will eventually find that man and take revenge.
Is this the moment?
"No, I'm not here to arrest you. I'm just an ordinary kid and a doctor. As a doctor, isn't it normal to lend a helping hand to patients?"
Bai Zhi shrugged. "I've heard about the Five Heroes of the Clouds, and I know very well about the origins of my Master Bai Lu. Ren, you came here for Dan Heng, right?"
"Hmph, Dan Heng... that guy Dan Feng, does he think that by undergoing a rebirth and changing his name, he can forget everything from before? The power of the Dragon Lord still flows in his veins."
"Among you who uphold the Dharma, there are quite a few people who are looking forward to his return to take charge of the overall situation. Little girl, be careful that you don't lose your position as the Dragon Lord."
Do you think my abilities are inferior to those of the Dragon Lord?
Ren paused for a moment, then gave a stiff laugh. "That's true. With your abilities, let alone becoming a Dragon Lord, you could probably even become a general."
"Letting you be the Dragon Lord is already an honor for you."
"Since you recognized me and came over to greet me, you must have something to say to me."
"Considering the long-awaited experience you've given me, I can grant your request depending on the situation. Even if you want me to forge a weapon for you, that's fine too."
"Hmm... Blade, you should know that things haven't been peaceful on the Immortal Ship lately," Bai Zhi said after thinking for a moment.
“I know.” Blade’s words were brief; he didn’t want to reveal anything about the script.
"Therefore, the Immortal Ship needs some top-tier combat power to help it overcome this difficulty."
Ren gave Bai Zhi a strange look. "Could it be that you want to invite me to fight? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm wanted by Luo Fu, and I committed ten heinous crimes back then."
Bai Zhi was taken aback; she really hadn't thought of inviting Ren.
To be honest, although Ren is not as powerful as Dan Heng, the Dragon Lord, as one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, his combat strength is not weak at all.
However, the Demonic Yin form of Blade is still too difficult to control. If you want to summon it, you have to stay by Bai Zhi's side at all times and have her use the Horse Talisman to remove the debuff every once in a while, otherwise it will explode sooner or later.
"Ren, do you want to see Dan Heng?"
"Of course, I desperately want to see him!!"
Even without the influence of the demonic body, this deep-seated hatred still remained in Ren's heart and would not disappear just because he regained consciousness.
"If you can cooperate with me, maybe you'll be able to meet him."
Bai Zhi laughed. She knew that if she simply invited Dan Heng, there was a very high chance that he wouldn't come, given his various feelings towards Luo Fu.
But Danheng has one obvious characteristic.
That is, although they are taciturn, they are actually very enthusiastic.
"Oh?"
Blade was somewhat surprised.
“It’s very simple. You take me hostage, then use my phone to video call Dan Heng and tell him that if he doesn’t come, you’re going to kill him.”
