Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 72 Illusory Dream: Who understands? It's gone before anything even happened.

But as the saying goes, people will look down on you because of your actions, because you are not strong enough.

Clearly, Arashi does not belong to the type of person who is "not strong enough".

He can act recklessly in front of the enemy, as long as he doesn't use too much force and damage the immortal ship.

Yun Zhi lowered her hand from her face, ignoring her superior behind her, and continued to look at Huan Long.

"Looks like you've been lying low for a while now. It's kind of you to go to such lengths, even going so far as to connect with those useless people."

Huanlong's infiltration went so smoothly not only because of his own outstanding strength—it's said that this guy is a Suiyang—but more importantly, it must have been because of the guys inside the immortal ship who were there to help him.

The secret teachings of the Medicine King are one of them.

When it came to a real purge, Yun Zhi was genuinely worried that in the end, only Jing Yuan would remain among the Six Emperors, since the general's appointment was carefully selected by the marshal and others.

Wait, you're overthinking it. It can't be that exaggerated.

Huanlong had no idea what Yunzhi's inner thoughts were like. She remained wary of the person behind her—appearing alongside the hunting adjutant meant he was no ordinary person.

We haven't thought about the Star God aspect yet.

After all, beings like Star Gods, which cannot be accurately defined, generally do not appear in front of people for long.

Moreover, ordinary people cannot look directly at its radiance.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the help of friends inside the Immortal Ship, I really wouldn't have been able to get in."

He opened the fan, concealing his sly smile.

In fact, she was looking for an escape route.

Huanlong knew that she was no match for Yunzhi.

She came to the Immortal Ship because of rumors that the First Envoy of the Hunt was no longer protecting it, and the train was also going to Pinocchio, so she felt there was an opportunity.

She thought she had plenty of time to destroy Luofu, and by then Yunzhi wouldn't have time to come to her aid.

To her utter surprise, the train made a sharp 90-degree turn midway through the journey. It was traveling smoothly on the Pinocchio line when it suddenly turned and headed straight for Lov.

She hadn't even had time to retreat, and now that she was retreating, she felt somewhat unwilling.

They had already laid out their plans, just waiting for those little pawns from the Medicine King's secret teachings to make their move and cause Luofu to collapse.

Therefore, Huanlong did not leave.

Then, the people on the Starry Sky Train told her that the First Envoy had gone to Pinocchio, which reassured her a lot. She figured she still had time to wander around here for a bit and then make a quick retreat.

I never expected it to be just a feint.

I was leisurely introducing the Star Harbor, the Star Raft Sea, and how to use the Listening Device to the passengers on the Starry Sky Train...

This stroke of luck resulted in the First Commander blocking the door.

Yun smiled.

The way Huanlong's eyes were darting around made it clear at a glance that he wasn't up to anything good.

"Oh, the composition of this Immortal Boat Alliance is quite complex."

He slowly began to speak:

"It's amazing that the Great Lord of Annihilation can befriend the people of the Immortal Ship. I wonder which brave warrior he is? Why don't you introduce him to me so that I can learn from him and avoid a lot of disputes when I'm an unknown person in the future?"

"Oh dear, you really love to joke. If I were to tell you, my friend would probably be doomed." There's no benefit in betraying that person.

"The universe is vast and boundless. If he is willing, this general will grant him a coffin made of stars and a tombstone made of his own body."

Huanlong: ...

Does that mean we should just throw that person into space as space junk?

Although I've been pretending to be Tingyun these past few days and have gotten used to the refined way the people of the Immortal Ship speak, I never expected that Yunzhi, who comes from a military background, could speak in such a sarcastic and unsettling way.

Is this the original art style for the First Envoy?

Huanlong recalled the time when Fenfeng had been stabbed in the butt by an arrow.

At first, the legion thought that the First Commander was like them, a decisive and murderous being.

Later, his behavior of shooting arrows and poking butts made them think that this guy must be a person who enjoys himself.

Okay, now that I look at it again, none of them seem to work.

The illusion was scattered and chaotic in the wind, but fortunately it was only for a moment.

Lan, on the other hand, wore a nostalgic smile.

Yun's tone reminded Lan of something from long ago:

—At that time, Lan and Yun were serving in the military together. Lan was upright and disliked beating around the bush. The task of communicating with the higher-ups undoubtedly fell to Yun.

Lan never worries that Yunzhi will mess things up, and she rarely worries that Yunzhi will be bullied.

After all, Yunzhi looks like a gentle and weak civil official, but in reality, he has a very strong personality. When he is around, Yunzhi will hide his imposing manner and act as an ordinary adjutant.

When he was away, Yunzhi had scared the young men in the army to the point of trembling more than once.

When facing superiors of higher rank, Yun Zhi inevitably has to navigate the situation. Not all superiors are good people, and when he encounters some difficult ones, Yun Zhi will resort to sarcastic remarks, or nonsensical writing, and sometimes he will even reply randomly after the message has been read.

For example, "Military expenses are something we have to earn ourselves, so please give me a raise, sir." And "Arashi is definitely suited to be a general, because he is suited to be a general."

Sometimes it gets even weirder. Someone above him says, "We think you're more suitable for this position than Lan. We can help you, as long as you blah blah blah..."

Yunzhi readily agreed at the time.

Then he turned around and told him, "Lan, that guy just told me that you're more suitable for his position than he is. If I help you get rid of him, then you can take his place."

Lan: ......

Although he didn't know the exact words, he was certain that person hadn't said it that way.

Then, two months later, that person stepped down.

Lan could never get that position; it wasn't a military post, and even if the Immortal Ship turned over, it wouldn't be his turn.

As for how that person stepped down, Yunzhi probably went to find his political enemies.

So now, when Yun Zhihui speaks sarcastically to Huanlong, Lan is not surprised at all, and is even somewhat pleased.

"They really show no mercy."

Huanlong was still smiling: "Unfortunately, does True Lord think you can keep me here?"

She turned around and looked in the direction of Jianmu.

"I'm standing right in front of you, do you think I can stop you? Great Lord Annihilation, you seem too confident."

"Yeah?"

Tingyun turned her head, her smile still sweet: "Speaking of which, True Lord should be thankful that it wasn't Burning Wind or Star Howl eyeing this place. The Alliance is truly lucky, isn't it?"

Yun Zhi sneered, "It's more accurate to say that the two of them were lucky. If he had really set his sights on this side, he would have only been met with a beam of light, and then scattered into space like trash."

"But that's not bad either. Compared to the Jurassic being assassinated by the Sea Rangers, being killed by the Star God himself is their highest honor."

Jurassic, the Extinction Lord assassinated by a group of sea patrol rangers, could at least bring half of the Antimatter Legion's blacklist.

"What an infuriating display of arrogance!"

With her fingers pressed against her chin, Huanlong's smile suddenly turned chilling: "Alright, I'd better not say any more to Zhenjun here. Please allow me to take my leave first. I should at least do my hair and makeup before going on stage."

Then, Yunzhi watched as the fox woman's neck underwent a very strange twist.

He even heard a particularly crisp "snap" from her neck.

Then, the fox woman's body fell to the ground and was almost immediately consumed by flames.

Then, a ball of bluish-green flame slowly rose up and suddenly fled into the distance.

But in the next second, it was sucked back by a violent gust of wind.

It fell into the square container in the hands of the clouds.

The ball of flame raged inside, but couldn't escape at all.

Yun Zhi lifted the container and examined the Sui Yang inside.

"As you said, I'm glad it was you who came, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to catch the person so easily."

Yun Zhi smiled easily this time: "Even the Great Lord of Annihilation is just a Suiyang, and by adding a little bit of the Star God's power to this thing, it will naturally be able to trap you."

"Great Lord of Annihilation, Huanlong, come with me to the Prison of Darkness. I am still very curious about the 'friend' you speak of."

How many friends do you have in the Immortal Boat Alliance?

There are plenty of ways to make her spill everything in the prison.

Lan watched as Yunzhi finished his task and then turned her attention to another food stall.

"Zhi, let's go over there."

Suddenly, Suiyang stopped moving.

Yun Zhi lowered her hand, looked at Lan, and smiled adorably with her eyes narrowed:

"Your subordinate obeys, General."

Clouds retract their containers.

I continued to pay for Lan's food.

Of course, as soon as they left, Xing, March 7th, and Walter rushed over with Di Ting.

Then......

There's nothing there.

March 7th asked curiously, "Isn't Miss Tingyun here?"

Xing looked down at Di Ting—What do you think?

Listen carefully: ......

It tilted its head.

The smell is definitely right here.

Why not?

Is there something wrong with my nose?

Di Ting fell into a vortex of self-doubt.
