This forced her to refocus her attention to prevent anyone from attacking Bai Zhi.
The next second, Dan Shu, who had just been sitting at the consultation table, disappeared.
"Damn it, are they trying to rescue this guy...?"
Fu Xuan's face was extremely ugly. Dan Shu, the alchemist chief, was very likely a high-ranking member of the Medicine King's secret lineage. He actually managed to escape in front of her today, which made her lose face.
Bai Zhi was also somewhat surprised that Dan Shu could actually run away under these circumstances, which was a bit beyond her expectations.
However, at least it's confirmed that this guy probably has no intention of harming me or Bailu.
"However, this faint fragrance..."
Bai Zhi's nose twitched, and a very faint fragrance wafted into her nose.
She felt a strong sense of familiarity with this scent.
"Hiss...Where have I smelled this before...Ah, it's her!"
Bai Zhi frowned in thought, then a flash of inspiration struck her. She realized that the fragrance was exactly the same as the one Ting Yun wore.
It smelled like medicine mixed with the fragrance of orchids, which was quite unique.
If she hadn't smelled it before, she probably would have just assumed it was the smell emanating from Dan Ding Si's pharmaceutical manufacturing.
If it was Tingyun... no, to be precise, Huanlong who broke through Fuxuan's defenses and abducted Danshu, then that would be perfectly normal.
Feeling the willpower constantly flowing into her and then being distributed, Bai Zhi silently said in her heart, "When I'm ready, I'll give you a good beating with a brick!!"
"Ten Kings Division, search the surrounding area!" Fu Xuan first ordered the men of the Ten Kings Division, then said to Bai Zhi with a serious expression, "Little Bai Zhi, you must come with me to the Divine Strategy Mansion immediately!"
"Huh? Why?"
"It's very simple. The only person on the Immortal Ship who could break through my defensive formation in an instant is a Commander-level figure like the General. But the General wouldn't come here to abduct people, which means that a dangerous Commander-level figure may have infiltrated the Immortal Ship."
"Such a powerful enemy cannot be defeated without command. Although I am skilled in defense, if that enemy were to attack, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you."
"The defenses outside your clinic, including those of Yanqing and the Yunqi Army, are still insufficient. If the envoy arrives, they won't be able to withstand a single blow. Therefore, you need to stay at the Shence Mansion."
Seeing Bai Zhi hesitate, Fu Xuan said seriously, "This is not asking for your opinion. Even if you don't want to, I have to forcibly take you there today."
Bai Zhi raised her hands, "Oh my god, oh my god, the Grand Diviner wouldn't go to such lengths."
"Okay, let's go back quickly."
Dan Shu opened his eyes with a puzzled expression as Bai Zhi was being escorted by Fu Xuan to the Shence Mansion.
She remembered that just moments before, the diviner's attack had nearly knocked her to the ground.
But after everything went black, she found herself in a place that looked like an ordinary house.
Could it be some kind of interrogation trick devised by the Ten Kings?
But what kind of drama can unfold in such an environment?
She couldn't figure it out at all.
"My dear Lord Danshi, you're awake?"
A woman's voice came from ahead, and Dan Shu subconsciously looked up. He saw a figure shrouded in mist in front of him.
"You... are that person?"
Dan Shu asked somewhat uncertainly. She remembered the great man she had met back then, who had given her a lot of help.
"Hehe, you know who I am, Dan Shu. I remember you told me about your tragic experiences. You were bullied since childhood because you were blind, and your only close friend died under the light arrow of the Demon Bow Ancestor. So you tried everything to take revenge on the Immortal Boat and the Demon Bow Ancestor."
"However, it seems you haven't hidden yourself well enough. Today you even triggered the alarm I left on you, prompting me to come and rescue you personally," said the figure shrouded in mist.
"My lord, I don't know how I was exposed, but it's alright. I wasn't caught, so our Medicine King's secret agents are all safe and sound. They will spread the drug that induces demonic possession inside the Immortal Ship at the right time to create chaos."
"Of course I know that, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you. I just hope you can live up to the price I paid for my efforts."
The figure moved his palms and said, seemingly absentmindedly.
Dan Shu bowed slightly, "I will do my utmost to help you achieve your great cause."
"Hehe, there's no need for such empty talk. I have a rather specific project that I need you to do. If you can accomplish it, you'll have done me a great favor."
Dan Shu's spirits lifted. "Please tell me, I will definitely do it!"
"It's very simple. You know Bai Zhi, right? She's the one who came with Taibu Si Fu Xuan just now."
"..."
Dan Shu paused slightly, then said in a low voice, "I know, the one who is about to be crowned Dragon Lord."
"What you need to do is very simple. You have planted spies of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings all over Luofu, right? I will inform you of the time when it is time, and you will find a way to lure her out."
"Bai Zhi, she's just a child from the Wisdom Clan, why would you want to do something to her?"
Dan Shu's expression faltered slightly, but he still managed to ask.
"As the leader of the Medicine King's secret lineage, don't you know the wonders of the Vidyadhara Clan? Especially since she possesses the potential to become a Dragon Lord. If you could merge with her body, what kind of immense power would you gain? Don't you have any idea?"
"Of course I know the wonders of the Vidyadhara."
"I've heard that there's a lot of dissatisfaction with this Angelica dahurica within your Medicine King's Secret lineage. This is a good opportunity for you to quell the internal strife, and I hope you can seize it."
"...Yes, I will seize the opportunity."
Dan Shu lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
"Work hard. As long as you can complete the task I give you, you can give the Immortal Ship a little shock."
254 Little Angelica, have you come to fulfill your duties as a general?
"Little Baizhi, you've finally come to the Shence Army to fulfill your duties as deputy general?"
Inside the Shence Mansion, Jing Yuan looked at Bai Zhi with a smile and teased her.
"General, it's clearly you who wanted to slack off, and it wasn't my idea to come this time either. It was because the Grand Diviner encountered danger and felt it wasn't safe for me to stay in the clinic that he brought me here."
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes. Why does Jing Yuan always want her to be a general?
"Oh? Fu Qing, what kind of danger could make you so nervous? Could it be that the Fengrao people have launched a major attack?"
Jing Yuan turned his gaze to Fu Xuan, his face showing curiosity.
Fu Xuan's strength on the Immortal Ship Luofu was second only to his, and he specialized in defense, yet he still said he encountered danger.
"It's nothing, it's just that a powerful envoy-level expert may have infiltrated Luofu. When Bai Zhi and I went to the Dan Ding Division to capture the suspected leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, the Dan Master Dan Shu, that powerful envoy-level expert suddenly made a move, broke through my defenses, and took him away."
"A Commander-level expert? That's really... a bit beyond my expectations."
Although Jing Yuan said that, his face did not show much surprise.
"General, you seem... not surprised at all?" Fu Xuan asked, frowning.
That was a Commander-level expert. If Long Zun Danfeng were still around, Luo Fu would have had two Commander-level experts who could share a lot of the pressure.
But now, Danfeng is gone, and the Dragon Lord has become Bailu, a little girl with almost no fighting power. So, the only one left to withstand the pressure is Jingyuan.
Moreover, our side is in the open, while the enemy is in the shadows.
She was certain that the messenger was someone who was adept at hiding himself.
Moreover, Star Core Hunters are roaming around Luofu, causing disturbances.
Based on this calculation, Luofu can be described as being fraught with danger.
Even in this situation, Jing Yuan remained calm and composed, appearing to have everything under control. Fu Xuan couldn't help but admire his abilities.
"Hehe, what's so surprising? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. The Immortal Ship Luofu has been sailing through the starry sea for so many years, what difficulties haven't we encountered? Fu Qing, you're worrying too much."
Fu Xuan frowned. "General, don't try to fool me. That's an envoy, an envoy!!"
"Although I don't know what this envoy is up to, I guess it's either the envoy of abundance or the envoy of destruction. Neither of them is easy to deal with. If it were a direct battle, we wouldn't be afraid, but this kind of envoy hiding in the shadows is really making us uneasy."
Jing Yuan waved his hand. "I understand. It's not the open attacks that are scary, but the covert ones. But this time, I've brought in a special force. With them, we'll be able to share a lot of the pressure."
"A surprise attack?" Fu Xuan asked.
Hearing this, Bai Zhi already knew who Jing Yuan was referring to.
As expected, Jing Yuan continued, "The Starry Sky Train, this surprise force, Fu Qing should think it's quite good, especially... that former Dragon Lord, Fu Qing should have seen him on the train on the way back. If we can get him to help, then Luo Fu will definitely be under less pressure."
"Him... if he's willing to help Luo Fu, then of course there's no problem."
Fu Xuan certainly knew Dan Heng. She had chatted with him briefly when she returned from Yalilo 6 with the Starry Sky Train.
It's just that the other party seemed somewhat resistant, and she wasn't sure if Jing Yuan could persuade that person to come and help.
"Of course, Fu Qing must have felt that this was not safe enough, so in addition to that Dragon Lord, there is another surprise weapon."
"Who?"
Jing Yuan turned his gaze to Bai Zhi and said with a smile, "Of course, it's our Luo Fu's deputy general, the future Dragon Lord, Bai Zhi."
"Huh?" Bai Zhi looked puzzled. Why was she suddenly brought up?
“Little Angelica, I’ve recently received more information about you from the Black Tower Space Station. You should now possess the ability to grant temporary immortality, right?”
Jing Yuan pressed a button on his desk, and a virtual projection instantly replaced the original chessboard.
Bai Zhi recognized what was happening in the virtual projection; it was a scene from when she helped the security personnel at the Black Tower Space Station fight. It clearly recorded how Bai Zhi used the power of the Dog Talisman and the Blessing of Destruction to prevent the security personnel from being killed by the antimatter legion.
"Little Angelica, I'm truly amazed that you possess such power. But can you use this power on yourself?"
Fu Xuan was first amazed, then asked the crucial question: if Bai Zhi's abilities could be used on him, then Bai Zhi would become an important force in protecting the Immortal Ship.
If she can't use it on herself, then even if Bai Zhi possesses such power, she will have to stay in the Shence Palace, since Bai Zhi's strategic importance is too great.
Even just the healing ability that can currently cure the Heavenly Deficiency can cause madness throughout the entire Immortal Ship, let alone the power that previously worked on the Demon Yin Body.
"Of course, you could say that this ability has always been working for me."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan fell silent. "...Are you some kind of Immortal Envoy, or the daughter of the Immortal Dragon?"
She asked a thought-provoking question, and even Jing Yuan next to her nodded in agreement.
Although Jing Yuan had some suspicions after receiving the information, after confirming it, he truly felt that Bai Zhi was too extraordinary.
Immortality and indestructibility are abilities that only true immortals can possess.
Xianzhou had already experienced firsthand how troublesome this ability was. Back when he faced the Abundance Envoy named Shuhu, the powerful regenerative ability and near-immortal body he possessed were simply despair-inducing.
With such abilities, it's no wonder that the God of Longevity and Plague would come after him.
If the Immortal Dragon were still alive, Bai Zhi would probably have become the Immortal Envoy on the spot.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Dragon has fallen. Fortunately, the Dragon Lord's power was bestowed upon him while the Immortal Dragon was still alive, and with the reincarnation characteristic of the Vidya, he was able to maintain the Dragon Lord's high combat power.
"With such abilities, even if Xiao Baizhi herself is not worried, she is enough to become a general who can lead a large army, at least greatly reducing the possible casualties at that time."
"Fu Qing, do you think this kind of surprise attack is feasible?"
Fu Xuan nodded silently. Such ability was more than enough. He was a natural team buff. It would be a waste of his talent if he didn't use him as a front-line combat support or commander.
"Look, I already have everything planned out. As for the train crew, and that Danfeng... oh no, I should say Mr. Danheng's invitation, as our Immortal Ship General, shouldn't Xiaobaizhi make her own contribution?"
"what?"
Bai Zhi stared at Jing Yuan with wide eyes, "General, don't you feel any remorse saying these things?"
255 Angelica dahurica: You're exploiting child labor!!
"I'm just a little kid. You're exploiting child labor! Not only do you want me to go to the front lines, but you also want me to be responsible for communicating with everyone on the train. General, isn't this going too far!"
Bai Zhi attempted to rebel against Jing Yuan's tyranny.
"I'm sorry, General Xianzhou is not covered by the Juvenile Protection Law. Besides, Little Baizhi, you are about to be crowned Dragon Lord. Are you sure you don't want to make some great contributions and add substantial achievements to your position as Dragon Lord?"
It can balance the demonic yin body, which is an important reason why the dragon masters of the Vidyadhara clan made the choice to crown Bai Zhi as the dragon lord.
However, this reason cannot be shared with others, whether they are the Immortal Boat People or the Ming Clan.
Although many intelligent people can guess that there must be a very important reason behind it, such as Bai Zhi being born with dragon horns, having the appearance of a dragon, and perhaps inheriting the divine power of an immortal dragon.
However, these speculations are not very convincing.
If there are genuine and publicly disclosed achievements, then these situations can be balanced out well.
