Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 313 Step by Step

Having changed his name and appearance, he naturally couldn't just casually walk into the Sichen Palace.

But to say whether you can sneak in...

How so?

It's not difficult, but it doesn't seem necessary.

He didn't even tell the three generals currently in Luofu about his arrival, let alone anyone else, for safety reasons.

That's right, three generals.

The marshal made a grand gesture, sending two Cloud Cavalry Generals from the Immortal Ships as a formality to demand accountability. However, General Tianji was mainly there for "Thunderclap" in the Prison of Imprisonment, while Zhu Ming's General Huaiyan... well, he's a cute little old man.

The alliance's top brass certainly have many considerations, but those useless things are still a minority—not the majority either, which leaves the Cloud Society feeling helpless.

"Perhaps it's not necessary to enter the Sichen Palace..."

Yunzhi turned her gaze behind her.

Not far away, the three little ones were talking with Yanqing, who had come to greet them.

How about we put a listening device on them later?

It would be easy to spot.

"Hmm..."

He needed to carefully choose his next path, and Yunzhi's tail swayed left and right according to his thoughts.

Lan, nestled in smooth fur, swayed along with it, but thankfully didn't fall off.

"I have a bad feeling..."

Yun Zhi moved slightly to the side.

The next second, a roar rang out from not far away.

Yun dodged aside, avoiding the panicked crowd, and hid behind a flower bed.

From this angle, it's easy for him to see the whole scene.

"Wolf?"

The animal that was rampaging around the dock was enormous, and it was shackled. It looked like a wolf, but... a bit more abstract.

"Is it Bu Liren?"

Moreover, judging from the appearance, he should still be a prisoner from Buli who should be locked up in the secluded prison.

Yunzhi: ......

This was even more thrilling than the last time I entered and saw the Great Lord of Annihilation waving with a beaming smile.

The little Lan doll flew out, disappeared into the grass in the flower bed, and poked its head out:

"Was the last time the prison was smashed too much?"

After all, it's only been a few months since Walter smashed three or four black holes in it, so it's not surprising that it hasn't been repaired yet.

Yun Zhi pinched the bridge of his nose: "The place Walter smashed didn't hold any prisoners... Admit it, either they came in from outside, after all, the Bu Li people are a fairly large group, it's not surprising that a few of them slipped in... or something went wrong in the Dark Prison."

Last time, the clan tricked them by letting the Great Lord of Annihilation escape—and that was that, but this time…

That's no other place than the Prison of Darkness! It's a top-secret location of the Immortal Ship Alliance!

"I never expected that the last time's Six Emperors was one thing, but this time it's even bigger, right?"

Yun rubbed her newly grown fox ears vigorously, ruffling all the fur on them.

Then sort it out.

"Should we go check out the Prison first?" Lan knew things were going badly.

If the prisoners are here, then where is their leader, Hu Lei?

Are you still in the prison?

"Let's wait a bit. Given that those kids are always associated with bloodshed, let's follow them first."

Are we going to the Prison of Imprisonment now?

He decided against it, fearing that if the place actually surprised him, he might accidentally release the other prisoners as well.

In just a few words, the battle in front of them came to a successful end.

It went very smoothly.

Yanqing is still alive. This child has exceptional talent and once cut off the head of Bu Liren's father. Dealing with these few is indeed no problem for him.

However, one of the stepping stones broke through the defenses and ran out.

Yanqing was about to pursue him.

Suddenly, a slender figure ran up behind her. She leaped onto the wall in a few steps, took the sword she had just taken from Yan Qing, and kicked Bu Liren away, pinning it to the ground with precision.

He then leaped high into the air, a heavy sword appearing in his hand... and slammed down on Bu Liren.

A very stylish series of movements.

Wow.

Yun Zhi uttered a detached sigh: "The little girl is quite strong."

That heavy sword... or rather, that heavy ruler? It looks quite heavy.

The little girl landed right on the hilt of the sword, which remained completely still, demonstrating its immense weight.

Then, the little girl picked up the sword she had just taken from Yanqing, held it up, and examined it.

Yanqing stepped forward to express his gratitude.

The little girl didn't turn around at all. When she heard someone say thank you, she just hummed in response and ran away with her sword.

Tu Yanqing stretched out Er Kang's hand, helplessly calling out to his departing sword.

The people around him were stunned.

Seeing that the Cloud Riders were starting to organize their ranks and treat the wounded, Cloud Eye quickly stood up from behind the flower bed and pulled Lan out of the grass, stuffing her into her tail.

He quickly blended into the crowd of onlookers.

Yanqing did not grieve for long over his lost sword. As the general's elite guard, he didn't even have time to continue entertaining the guests before rushing to find the Cloud Knights in the area to inquire about the situation.

The children on the train were also helping.

Yunzhi chose a suitable angle to ensure that she could hear their conversation.

With his keen hearing and sharp eyesight, he could easily overhear important information.

First, the company's goods were seized.

I don't know if the Cloud Cavalry discovered something, but they're taking the goods for inspection—though it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't find anything, as all goods entering Luofu must be inspected according to the rules.

No matter how large the company is, the Immortal Boat Alliance will not be careless in this regard.

And what did that company employee just say?

"We were attacked by the Buli people, which forced us to seek refuge at Luofu Port!"

What? You were the ones who brought that Bu Liren here?

"Then they deserve to be hit even more..."

Yun sighed, took out her phone, and found a familiar contact number.

[Yunzhi: Director of Placer Gold Production.]

[Yunzhi: It seems your people brought some kind of creature into Luofu.]

[Yunzhi: Thank you for your help, please take care of this.]

[Cloud's Words: Speed, Child.]

At this moment, countless light-years away...

Last night, Sandstone concluded a meeting where Diamond convened ten members of the Stoneheart team to discuss his actions that damaged the foundation. They decided to punish Sandstone and have his colleagues vote on whether or not to dismiss him.

Putting everything else aside, at least in maintaining the status quo, the ten members of Shixin have always been united.

In short, the process involved initial criticism followed by praise: four people agreed with the punishment, four opposed it, and finally, Opal made the final decision—which was also Diamond's decision.

Sand Gold remained unperturbed, because he knew Diamond wouldn't fire him.

Anyway, it's just for show. What they say in the group chat in private is their business.

Today, I was planning to pull myself together and continue with another round of subsidies for my family... well, I mean, another round of work.

But she received a photo from her idol.

Ask him to handle a certain matter.

Upon closer inspection, the gold dust was revealed.

—The company's employees...couldn't tell anything either.

But he knew about the ships that were being prepared to be transported away.

—Isn't that a product of the Erudite Society?
