She didn't stop her attack because of hesitation. She turned around, and the ice elements gathered at the tip of her sword transformed into round and round bright new moons, which she swept out.
"The moon has fallen and the star has sunk!"
Jingliu's voice was calm and firm. The icy blue light around him suddenly intensified. He swung his ice sword, and countless frost fragments poured down like a galaxy, enveloping the entire battlefield in a dazzling and chilling atmosphere.
Flames and ice alternated constantly. Even though the Monkey Talisman couldn't change its tough and resilient nature, without the support of the Jianmu tree, the Abundant Black Deer was nothing more than a target with a bit more health.
Under the true destructive power of the Great C Mirror Stream, and with the assistance of Bai Zhi, it finally had to let out a mournful cry and turn into a pile of golden ashes.
"Hmm, it seems that dealing with this guy doesn't require complicated puzzles and taking steps one by one."
With a gentle wave of her hand, Bai Zhi sent the golden dust flying away in the wind.
"Next, we can hand over the Jianmu root system to the professionals of Yunqi to seal it."
Bai Zhi stretched and looked at Jing Liu.
"Mirror Stream Sword Master, is there anything else you'd like to ask? I'll answer any questions you may have while we have this rare moment."
"Hehe, little sister, although I don't know why this Divine Lord is in your hands, with just your technique of suppressing my Demon Yin, becoming a general is probably not impossible, not to mention that the power of that flame is not weak either."
Jingliu's tone was no longer the slightly manic one he had been during the battle; instead, it was unusually calm.
Bai Zhi blinked. "Actually, it's pretty much the same. It's mainly through my own efforts and a little bit of talent that I was able to sit in this general's position."
"The Mirror Flow Sword Master came to the Immortal Ship Luofu, presumably because he knew that Luofu was in crisis for some reason."
"Perhaps, but you don't need to call me Sword Master. As a general, you can simply call a sinner like me Mirror Flow."
"That won't do. After all, you are General Jingyuan's master. Calling you by your first name would mess up the seniority. How about this, I'll call you Sister Jingliu?"
Bai Zhi leaned closer to Jing Liu and said with a grin.
“Kyoryu-nee... at your age, well then, let it be.”
Because of the strange situation just now, Jingliu hadn't had a chance to get a good look at Baizhi. Now, after looking her over, he realized she was indeed just a child. So, it was appropriate for her to call him "sister."
"Then, would you mind if I took a picture with you, Jingliu-neechan?"
Bai Zhi took out her phone.
"....Also."
Jing Liu was a little confused by Bai Zhi's request, but since it was just a group photo, it wouldn't hurt.
"Then I'm sorry to offend you, hehe. It's just that Sister Jingliu is one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, and I, Baizhi, admire her a lot, so I wanted to take a picture as a memento."
"I see, I understand." Jing Liu nodded knowingly.
"Uh-huh."
After Bai Zhi finished speaking, she raised her phone, pointed it at Jing Liu and herself, and then made a cheese gesture.
"click"
A photo was taken just like that. Bai Zhi was smiling happily, while Jing Liu remained as cold and expressionless as ever.
However, this does not detract from Kagami's good looks.
Then Bai Zhi decisively chose to share, selecting Jing Yuan as the recipient.
And added a caption: "General, look who I met! I even made a sister out of it and took a picture with her!"
274 Jingyuan: Oh no, Baizhi has become my martial uncle!
"Have you noticed any strange gazes directed at you?"
In a secluded spot, Huanlong frowned and looked around.
"Sir, it might be the cat over there."
Dan Shu pointed to the white cat that was squatting on the eaves with a red scarf around its neck.
The cat was looking at the two of them with a curious gaze.
Am I being too sensitive...?
Huanlong sized up the cat, confirming that the gaze had come from it, and then, somewhat annoyed, ripped off a leaf from the surrounding tree and hurled it at the cat.
Leaves fell on the eaves.
"Meow!!"
The white cat reacted as if its fur stood on end, and then it ran away.
"Hmph, it's just a small matter. But about Bai Zhi, are you ready now?"
After scaring the cat away, Huanlong's lips curled up slightly, and she asked Danshu with a hint of pleasure.
Dan Shu paused for two seconds, then said, “Everything is ready. If all goes well, my people will soon guide Bai Zhi to where you want to go.”
"Well done, Dan Shu. Everything you've wanted is coming soon. This is a day to celebrate, isn't it?"
"But I've heard that the Shence Prefecture has brought many helpers this time, and there seem to be some experts around Bai Zhi as well... Are you really capable of dealing with them?"
"Hehe." Huanlong took out a fan and covered his face. "Do you think I asked you to guide Baizhi to the designated location? As long as I devour her, I will have a powerful body forged by the divine power of destruction, abundance, and immortality."
"The combined power of the three destinies is far beyond what Jing Yuan and other experts can compare to. Unless the master of the demon bow makes a move, I can easily destroy this huge immortal ship."
"Come with me to the designated location. You have made a great contribution to this project, so I will allow you to witness the fall of this giant ship."
"Yes."
Dan Shu lowered his head and followed Huan Long obediently.
After the two left, the white cat jumped out from the corner and then returned to its original form in a burst of light.
Without a doubt, this person was Jing Yuan.
During this period, he had analyzed the situation carefully. If the enemy was the kind of person who was good at disguising themselves, then if they wanted to cause trouble, they certainly couldn't be an ordinary civilian.
There is a high probability that they hold a position of some importance, but not particularly important, such as one of the Six Emperors.
After investigating many people on the Immortal Boat, he identified a number of them. After Bai Zhi turned him into a cat, he began to investigate them one by one.
After eliminating one possibility after another, the final suspect was Tingyun, whose whereabouts were clearly suspicious.
After seeing Tingyun meet with Dan Shu, the master of the Medicine King's secret teachings, he realized that Tingyun was most likely the unknown messenger who had infiltrated the immortal ship.
"This guy is trying to harm Xiao Baizhi."
Jing Yuan frowned, took out his phone from the storage device, and wanted to remind Bai Zhi.
Although Bai Zhi demonstrated her immortality, the other party was still a messenger, and no one knew what mysterious methods they might possess.
Even if they can't do anything about it, kidnapping someone is still a possibility.
As soon as he took out his phone, he heard several notification sounds. He looked at them and saw that they were messages sent by Bai Zhi a few hours earlier.
"Does this little guy have anything to say?"
Jing Yuan unlocked the app out of curiosity and clicked on it.
Upon opening the app, a photo immediately catches the eye.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and once you do, you're stunned.
That familiar face, those piercing eyes, and that outfit that has appeared in my memories and dreams countless times.
“Master Jingliu…”
Jingyuan murmured to himself, a flood of memories rushing into his mind.
However, he quickly shook his head, banishing those memories from his mind; now was not the time to dwell on the past.
Jingyuan clicked on the image and continued scrolling down, wanting to see what else Baizhi had said besides posting photos.
Then I saw a message: "General, look who I met! I even made a sister out of it and took a picture with her!"
When Jing Yuan first saw this sentence, he nodded very calmly. After all, Jing Liu was one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, the legendary swordsman of the Immortal Boat who had never been defeated. Although a lot of information about him was blocked, Bai Zhi could still access it.
It's only natural for a former legend to want a photo with him, and he wouldn't find it strange.
"But wait... Sister??"
Upon seeing this sentence, Jing Yuan's lips twitched.
Oh no, if Bai Zhi acknowledges Master Jing Liu as her older sister, then what am I? Bai Zhi's junior disciple?
Does that mean I should call Bai Zhi "Uncle-Master" from now on? Doesn't that sound a bit off?
Isn't this chaos?
Or should we each have our own perspective?
Jing Yuan had a headache; Bai Zhi had really given him a difficult problem.
Forget it, let's deal with this first, then we can deal with other things.
Jing Yuan shook his head, and after sending some warning messages to Bai Zhi, he took action.
Let’s go back a few hours.
After the Abundant Black Deer was killed, the Bureau of Works and Construction returned to peace.
Apart from the activated Jianmu tree, which is constantly radiating strong vitality, everything is the same as before.
"Sister Jingliu, this is Brother Danheng... I probably don't need to explain the more specific details."
At the platform of the Industrial Construction Department, Bai Zhi pointed to Dan Heng and said.
Looking at Jing Liu, Dan Heng remained silent for two seconds before extending his hand. "I am Dan Heng, an ordinary nameless guest."
"Jingliu, a sinner who has committed the ten heinous crimes."
Jingliu also extended his hand and shook hands with Danheng expressionlessly.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Bai Zhi quickly tried to smooth things over, "Oh dear, although a lot has indeed happened in the past, you all still have your hearts set on the Immortal Ship, don't you?"
"Although General Jingyuan hasn't replied yet, I'm sure he'll be happy to see that I've met Sister Jingliu."
"As a sinner, I dare not hope for too much. It would be enough if I were not thrown into the prison."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. Besides, with Sister Jingliu by my side, she won't be affected by the Demonic Yin Body, right?"
Seeing Jingliu hesitate, Baizhi pitifully moved closer to her, "Does Sister Jingliu dislike me and not want to protect me?"
"Hehe," Jing Liu was amused by Bai Zhi's expression. "You little rascal, you clearly possess the power of a Divine Lord, yet you pretend to be weak as if you were a chicken. If you were to use your full strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for you."
"Since ancient times, it has always been the case that the strong protect the weak, not the weak protecting the strong."
"I just don't want Jingliu-neechan to fall into endless emotions anymore. She's so cute, she just needs to stay by my side and be beautiful~"
275 Miss Tingyun, when did you learn martial arts?
"You really are quite the smooth talker."
Jingliu sighed, "Fine, at least I'll stay by your side during the crisis on the Immortal Ship."
Although she didn't know why Bai Zhi had acquired a divine lord, given Bai Zhi's age, as an elder, she should at least offer some assistance.
"Great!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi proudly made a gesture as if she had a plan in the bag.
"Now that the matter with the Ministry of Works is finished, let's take the Cloud Cavalry back to find the Grand Diviner."
“Alright, Mr. Walter also said that the areas the other train crews were responsible for have been mostly cleared, it’s time to meet up.”
Dan Heng also spoke very calmly.
After saying that, Bai Zhi gathered her troops and prepared to lead them to the door.
However, at this moment, the survivor named Lan Zhi, who was rescued first, hesitated for a moment and said somewhat timidly, "Lady Bai Zhi, actually... there are still some things I haven't reported."
"Is there anything else that hasn't been reported? Are there still people who haven't been rescued?"
Bai Zhi asked, somewhat concerned.
“No.” Lan Zhi shook her head. “It’s just that before I fainted, I heard those people who were the secret disciples of the Medicine King discussing something.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi gestured for everyone to stop, then asked Lan Zhi, "What exactly are they discussing?"
