Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 65 Walter: True Lord? Oh, on the way.

Lan's consciousness came here because she suddenly sensed that the Starry Sky Train had made a sharp turn.

His adjutant had already settled on the train and was traveling around with the nameless travelers of the "Pioneers," so he was absolutely safe and there was nothing to worry about.

Some time ago, His intuition told him that the lieutenant was going to Pinocchio, which was the territory of the [Harmony] Hippe's forces.

There was a crisis, but it wouldn't affect Yunzhi, so Lan didn't care.

Anyway, even if the adjutant was really tricked, he has the ability to overturn the whole chessboard, so it's not a problem.

As a result, the train, which was heading straight for Pinocchio, suddenly made a sharp turn, as if it had made a 90-degree turn, and headed straight for a starship of the Immortal Ship Alliance.

Lan was quite curious, so she sent a wisp of her consciousness along with her.

When the Starry Sky Train stopped outside the Jade Realm Gate, Lan's consciousness was near the Jade Realm Gate. Watching the Starry Sky Train enter the gate, he also ran in.

I originally planned to follow them quietly.

But to his surprise, Yunzhi had already discovered him.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to immediately slide over to the "Great Lord of Annihilation" upon seeing him.

"When did you find me?" Lan asked curiously.

Yun sighed: "We're like family, of course I can sense you being near me."

That's the relationship between a person and their weapon; the compatibility is extremely high, you know?

"Let's not talk about that anymore. What's next? Are you planning to go see General Shence first, or take a stroll around Luofu?... Why don't you change your clothes first?"

Yun Zhi looked at Lan's old-fashioned battle robe and was even more speechless.

Walking out like this would be too conspicuous. If the people who follow the secret teachings of the Medicine King see it, there will inevitably be some trouble.

Lan looked down.

—This battle robe, it seems to be the one He wore before His ascension… I’ve forgotten.

It's been too long.

So, under the constant scrutiny and instruction of the clouds, He changed His clothes.

It was just ordinary casual wear, but Yunzhi made him put a hat on his head.

Cover your face slightly to maintain an air of mystery.

Behind them, Walter was still fighting the demonic entity with the two little ones. Yunzhi and Lan peeked out from behind the shipping container to watch.

"I don't know what the Great Lord of Annihilation is here for, Lan. Did he or she find out you're here too?"

Although it is only a wisp of consciousness, a Star God is still a Star God. If that thing is frightened and runs away, it will be much more difficult to catch it again later.

Lan replied, "Don't worry, if I don't want to, no one will be able to find me."

Even those generals and their divine lords couldn't do that.

...That deity's name is far too long; Lan gets a little impatient every time she says it.

Lan continued looking at the Great Lord of Annihilation disguised as a fox-woman: "If I remember correctly, the Immortal Ship Alliance spends most of its time fighting against the monstrous creatures and rarely clashes with [Destruction]."

"The Legion of Destruction has no reason to destroy any place, but unfortunately you can't draw your bow and arrow against Destruction for the time being."

The [Abundance] Pharmacist ignores those monstrous creatures, while [Destruction] leads the legion; if a real war breaks out...

This is just too upsetting.

"That's true."

Lan thought for a moment:

"But it would be good to teach the Great Lord of Annihilation a lesson."

"Oh ho, poke her butt with an arrow!" Yun Zhi laughed.

Lan's brow twitched—why not just let her perish directly?

What kind of stuff did I learn from the nameless stranger?

"Don't overthink it. It seems they're leaving. What's the current situation with the Cloud Cavalry? Why can't we tell it's a fake?"

Lan was very dissatisfied with this.

Yunzhi: ←_←

"You seem to have too much confidence in the current Cloud Cavalry."

Lan: "Each generation is worse than the last."

Yunzhi: "Don't say that. We can't expect the current Yun Cavalry to be as powerful as our suicide squad back then."

It's understandable that they couldn't see through the Great Lord of Annihilation's disguise, since they didn't have Suiyang by their side.

"So, Lan, are you going to stay with them or go solo?"

"Aren't you going to the Pill Refining Division? Why don't you go check it out first?"

At that time, neither of them realized the seriousness of the situation.

————————————————————

While Yunzhi was still talking to Lan, Walter and the others had already finished the battle.

The Cloud Cavalry then urged the fox-woman to leave the Star Harbor: "Miss Tingyun, the demonic spirit has been eliminated, but there are countless dangers in this area. The situation is not optimistic. Please return to the Sky Ship Bureau with us as soon as possible."

Yun Zhi and Lan were speechless for a moment—the Sky Ship Bureau? That seemed to be a department that specifically managed all matters related to flight. Should they be glad that these two hadn't planned to take the Great Lord of Extinction back to the Sky Ship Bureau?

"Stop listening, stop listening, let's go."

If you don't leave soon, I'm really going to get angry.

The two quietly slipped away along the shipping container, and as for the Starry Sky Train—there was no need to worry at all; that Annihilation Lord probably wouldn't make a move right now, there was still room for maneuver.

Tingyun wasn't in a hurry: "I know, I know, what's the rush? We haven't thanked these benefactors yet, it would be too impolite to just leave like this."

She turned around and took a few steps forward: "I am Tingyun, the ferryman of the Luofu Merchant Guild. May I ask your honorable name, benefactor?"

March 7th scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "'Your name'... that's too polite. My name is March 7th, this is Uncle Yang, no, Mr. Walter Yang, and this is..."

Xing proudly put his hands on his hips and declared, "I am... Galaxy Baseball Man!"

Tingyun didn't know what she was thinking, but her face seemed to twitch slightly: "Oh, Batman, what a heroic name."

March 7th sighed: "This is Xing, don't tease her. This girl always has to come up with something new for her self-introduction, um, and..."

"One more thing, we come from the Star Train of the [Pioneers]."

Walter interrupted March 7, preventing her from revealing the matter of Yunzhi: "We called for port access earlier, but there was no response at first. Suddenly, someone opened the Jade Gate for us. After entering the immortal ship, we couldn't find anyone, so we had to find our way here."

March 7th didn't know why Walter wouldn't let her mention Yunzhi, but she still nodded seriously: "Yeah, it's really scary."

Tingyun crossed his arms: "How could that be? My ship was the last to enter the port, and the Jade Realm Gate closed afterward. The Heavenly Ship Bureau has completely sealed off the Star Chariot Sea."

"The person who opened the door didn't say a word, and we don't know what their purpose was." Walter also pretended, although he already knew that it was Silver Wolf who opened the door, but it was best not to say it now.

Tingyun also lowered her head and pondered for a moment.

"Speaking of which, you are the Star Train? Ah, I've heard of you before. As the ferrymen for the merchant corps, you usually receive many guests from all over the world, so you inevitably hear some rumors..."

Tingyun narrowed her eyes, looking at them probingly: "It's said that... that legendary deputy general of the Emperor's Bow and Fate, the True Lord of Startling Wind and White Feather—is currently on the Starry Sky Train. Is that true or not?"

The three of them exchanged a glance.

March 7th and Xing wisely remained silent, leaving the matter to the elders to answer.

Walter adjusted his glasses: "You mean Yunzhi? Yes, he is indeed on the Star Train."

Upon hearing this, Tingyun's face lit up with joy, and the two Yun cavalrymen behind her almost couldn't contain their delight either.

"So, the True Lord has also come?" one of the Cloud Cavalry soldiers asked impatiently.

Walter shook his head: "Before coming to Luofu, we received an invitation from the 'family' to which [Tongxie] belongs. He went there before us. We also sent him a message before we boarded the immortal ship. He should be on his way now."

While speaking, he subtly observed Tingyun's expression.

The fox-woman's disappointment seemed genuine: "Alas, I remember in the distant past, before the Immortal Ship's crisis arrived, the True Lord had already been waiting for the Alliance for a long time. Now... even during the Abundant People's War thirty years ago, the True Lord did not appear. Could it be that, as the rumors say, the Emperor Bow Master and the True Lord are unwilling to protect the Alliance?"

Upon hearing this, even the two Cloud Cavalry soldiers couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

sow discord.

Walter could only think of this word.

"That's not the case. After we sent him the message, he came here immediately. He probably just didn't know about the crisis on the Immortal Ship, or he believed that you all had the ability to solve it yourselves."

March 7th nodded in agreement: "That's right, Zhi Ke always praises the alliance for being strong, how could she not like you guys?"

"Really? Then I can rest assured."

Tingyun smiled as always, unchanged: "Alright, then for safety reasons, you should head to the central hub of the Starship Sea as soon as possible. I will take you to see Lady Yukong, who is in charge of the Skyship Bureau, and let her make the decision."

"We are somewhat aware of the crisis facing the Immortal Ship. We are here to help in accordance with the principles of the Nameless Guest. If you do not trust us, you can wait for the True Lord to arrive."

Walter mentioned the clouds again.

Tingyun remained unchanged: "Hehe, everyone's help is so kind. I knew you were all great benefactors. Unfortunately, I am powerless to help. You are all outsiders. Without the authorization of the Master, who would dare to act on their own?"

"Don't worry, Lord Yukong is a kind and gentle person. Come with me."

After Tingyun finished speaking, she took the lead and walked away.

Two Cloud Cavalry soldiers followed behind Walter and his men, seemingly maintaining a high level of vigilance towards them.

That's true; vigilance is essential at all times.

Walter adjusted his glasses and winked at the two children, signaling them not to mention Yunzhi.

Just now, Yunzhi sent him a message:

"That fox spirit is a ghost. I'll go check somewhere else. If she asks, just say I'm on my way."

What's wrong with this fox-woman?
