Without mastering the Sword Heart Technique, nothing else matters.
"Then no need to talk."
"Hey! No, no, no, I'll memorize it, I'll memorize it, okay? We made a deal, Sparrow, if I memorize this, you'll teach me that trick!" Little Pillow quickly knelt down and hugged 'Blue Sparrow's' waist, looking eager.
Jiang Qiaoxin nodded happily at this, finding it quite novel—but she didn't have any expectations.
after all.
Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?
Making Little Pillow carry such a long Sword Heart Mantra is practically tantamount to taking her life.
Hilarious, he can't even read a few words.
"Speaking of which, Que'er...didn't you say there would be pawns that would destroy the Ancestor of Calamity?" Gui Naifen asked with some complicated feelings. Although this trip had been quite fruitful for them and for her, as long as this achievement was reported to the Shence Mansion, her brothers who made a living in Luofu would no longer have to do odd jobs with criminal records, and she would surely become famous because of it. However, Gui Naifen still kept in mind what Jiang Qiao had said about destroying the Ancestor of Calamity.
“Yes, indeed… I did have it when I did the divination, it should be coming soon, but I have no idea what form it will take.” 'Qingque' shook his head—this divination was so vague that he couldn’t even report it.
It was even more ambiguous than the divination result from Ruoyue regarding the disaster of Jianmu.
At least Ruoyue only lacked information about the timing—while Jiang Qiao's divination only indicated that someone would appear to destroy the ancestral temple, but what exactly that person was, and whether it was a big or small matter, was completely unknown.
Such a divination would absolutely not pass the review, because once the Grand Diviner issues a divination decree, it will affect the entire Luofu region—and if things go wrong, Luofu's external policies will be changed as a result.
"Hey... is the internet here in Luofu really that unstable?" Little Pillow suddenly complained. Jiang Qiao glanced at it; it seemed to be browsing Xianzhou Zazu, but the screen on Little Pillow's jade tablet kept flashing, like an old-fashioned snowy television.
...an old-fashioned snow-covered television?
'Qingque' suddenly raised an eyebrow—the Jade Zhao Network of Immortal Boat is a quantum biological computer, and its technological advancement is undeniably high. As for Immortal Boat Miscellaneous Talk, the most popular chat forum and short video exchange platform on Luofu, its operation has been highly praised for a hundred years. How could it be like an old-fashioned static TV?
The girl looked up at the sky, trying to find something.
next moment--
"Drip drop~"
Su Chang's expression underwent a subtle change, which caught the attention of the three of them.
"what happened?"
"An imperial edict has been sent from the Shence Prefecture!"
"drop--!!!!"
A sound like a whistle rang in her ears, and Jiang Qiao's brows furrowed slightly... This thing is... the wartime siren of the Immortal Ship.
In Qingque's memory, the academy had taught her and her friends that once this thing started ringing, it basically meant that the immortal ship had entered combat mode.
Well... it's not surprising for the Immortal Ship Alliance, after all, they are the 'sharp swords' that follow the will of the Emperor Bow Master to hunt down hunting enemies. Among the six immortal ships, the Radiant Azure Immortal Ship will ring out once every now and then, but it usually doesn't ring for too long.
As for Luofu... the last time it was heard was during the Yinyue Rebellion hundreds of years ago.
...Electromagnetism? Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered a related divination she had seen while compiling data at the Taibu Temple.
An industrial planet near the Celestial Journey route—the Balanza Furnace—appears to have been attacked by the Antimatter Legion, and the attacker is none other than the Iron Curtain, one of the Annihilation Lords.
Under the Iron Curtain's attack, the planet was completely paralyzed, and the other diviners in the Taipusi all judged that the probability of victory was infinitely close to zero.
The Immortal Ship naturally didn't want to risk a major battle with a Destruction Envoy to save that planet—the Balanza Furnace had nothing to do with them, and it wasn't worth Luo Fu changing its planned course to rescue it.
Therefore, even though the Alliance is hostile to the Antimatter Legion, its attitude is "let's keep to ourselves" unless the Antimatter Legion actively provokes it.
After all, the other party was not the hunters' target for revenge; the Alliance's main enemy was still the Abundant Spoils.
Under these circumstances, Luo Fu's defenses against the Iron Curtain were merely to issue a warning and mark it; the threat level was considered low to medium, and a little signal detection was sufficient.
After all, the legion isn't brainless. It's impossible for them to be so foolish as to ignore the planet and deliberately provoke the tough nut that is the Immortal Ship Alliance.
"Let's go back to Xingcha Sea first."
After much deliberation, the girl rested her chin on her hand and made a decision.
First, let's go to Xingcha Sea to check the situation. As for the remaining secret teachings of the Medicine King in Dan Ding Si... the Six Dusts and Smoke have been completely destroyed, and the abundant evil things have all been soaked in the waters of the ancient sea. In addition, the 'Qihuang Department' has suddenly collapsed and sunk. The Ten Kings Division, which found clues from the broken cave, will probably not mind having a heart-to-heart talk with Dan Shu, the main person in charge of the Qihuang Department.
Meanwhile—inside the Shence Palace.
General Jing Yuan of Luofu—the Divine Strategy General among the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow. Of course, the people of Luofu prefer to call him the "Blind-Eyes General."
For various reasons, Jingyuan has a very good personality; he is kind to others and rarely gets angry.
However, his expression was clearly not good at this moment, and his brows were furrowed, revealing a hint of anger.
The strategist of the Luofu Immortal Ship, Chang Qingzu, was quite troubled:
"General, the mechanisms of the Immortal Ship are currently in disarray, and antimatter legion soldiers have appeared in various places to some extent."
Without a doubt, this is definitely the arm of the Great Lord of Annihilation, [Iron Curtain].
Iron Curtain excels at attacking technologically advanced worlds, paralyzing and turning AI against itself, causing outer defense arrays to fire volleys at the ground, and rendering flying vehicles like headless flies. According to the limited information obtained by the Immortal Ship Alliance, it is said that this guy possesses a portion of the anti-life equation of [Emperor] Lupert, which is why it is so invincible against technologically advanced worlds.
"What is the extent of the loss?"
"It's not a big deal. Long after the Imperial War, the various immortal ships had already studied countermeasures... The main problem is the disturbance it caused." Qingzu sighed.
The Immortal Boat was also a victim of the Imperial Wars—that is, the Jin rebellion.
Since then, the Immortal Ship has been extremely cautious in its use of the Golden Man, only using him in certain necessary situations.
And even if they do use it, they will be very cautious.
Even so, being caught off guard by the antimatter legion has thrown Luo Fu into a state of considerable chaos.
At least—all the skilled birds that usually deliver messages have malfunctioned. Although it's not a major problem, its impact on the people is enormous.
Of course, the Ministry of Works might also have a headache, since there are just too many Jurchens.
It's still much better than Jianmu's rebirth.
"The Cloud Cavalry are on alert for the movements of the Antimatter Legion at the front lines; the Cloud Cavalry have been deployed to the Bureau of Works and Construction; the Grand Diviner is ordered to investigate this matter immediately; and all grotto-heavens are placed on martial law." The experienced Jing Yuan quickly made these arrangements, speaking rather coldly:
"As for those lowly pawns of the Ancestor of Ember... we'll settle that score slowly!"
"cough..."
When one gets angry, one inevitably feels a tightness in the chest.
Jingyuan sighed.
Now he is quite old. Considering the age of the people of the Immortal Boat—logically speaking, nine out of ten of them would be demonic beings by this age, not to mention that he was once one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds and has experienced various setbacks.
But for the sake of the future of the Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan still had to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
As for the next general... Fu Qing is virtuous and talented, but unfortunately he is still a little short of the mark.
Tianbo Si... Yu Kong is also an old man, considered quite old for a fox-human.
As for the heads of the other three departments, they were either experienced veterans mentoring newcomers like myself, or they were unreliable and incapable of being trusted.
Luofu is currently in a state of transition, lacking both young talent and experienced successors.
Sigh... I'll go to the Alchemy Bureau to recuperate after this incident is over.
Chapter 191 I need to help Qingque get a promotion when I get back!
The Starship Sea Central Hub is the core of the Immortal Ship Luofu, connecting the Starport, which produces the Starship, an essential flying machine for the Immortal Ship, and the Flowing Cloud Ferry, the port for the Immortal Ship to transport and export goods. It can be said that the Starship Sea Central Hub is the most important line of defense for Luofu, apart from the Jade Realm Gate.
Although the Tianbo Division, located here, is only responsible for managing Luofu's trade with the outside world on a normal day, once war breaks out, the various flying machines and flying soldiers under its command become one of the main forces of the immortal ships.
The Star Chariot Sea, which is usually orderly, appears unusually chaotic at this moment.
Although the Immortal Ship Alliance has learned from the lessons of the Jin people's rebellion and is quite cautious about the use of mechanical devices, and highly dangerous combat devices like the Jin people's are only placed in remote and sparsely populated areas and are not deployed on a large scale, the Immortal Ship Alliance will not throw the baby out with the bathwater because of the convenience of mechanical devices. Therefore, the Immortal Ship uses a lot of small tricks inside - such as the mechanical bird.
This kind of networked gadget can help the people of Xianzhou transport goods and does not pose much danger, so it is quite useful.
Unfortunately, these normally docile birds seemed to have gone mad at this moment, their clever eyes turning bloodshot, and they would attack pedestrians and star rafts at will.
Of course, due to the inherent limitations of its design, it will not cause many deaths or injuries.
What troubled Yu Kong the most were the chaotic starships in the sky—these flying machines, a specialty of the Immortal Ship, were essentially a kind of 'biotechnology,' and they were also one of the Immortal Ship's countermeasures after learning from the chaos of the Jin people.
However, due to their interactions with the outside world in recent years, with the help of the company and the Boshi Society, some craftsmen of the Industrial Construction Division and even some Xianzhou citizens came up with ingenious ideas. They jointly created the 'Hybrid Starship' that combines mechanics and biology.
This starship not only possesses the advantages of biological starships, but also boasts advanced mechanical features—autonomous driving, internal environmental control, and so on. In short, it was extremely popular among the people of the Immortal Ship and became a sensation.
The official Xianzhou team, adhering to an open and progressive attitude, has also incorporated this design concept to some extent into the various aircraft within Xianzhou.
As a result—after encountering the technology-driven special attack of the [Iron Curtain], they were completely overwhelmed.
In just one hour, the number of 'car accidents' that have occurred in the Star Chariot Sea has almost surpassed the total number of accidents in Luofu over the past thirty years.
"Watch out, Lord Sky Soarer!"
The black-haired fox-woman standing beside Yu Kong quickly reminded him—Yu Kong, who was being protected, stepped back and watched as the star raft emitting black smoke crashed nearby. Strangely enough, it didn't suffer much damage or destruction, as if it was protected by some kind of force.
The petite girl in green who emerged from among them had an angry expression on her face:
"...You three!"
"No...it wasn't the two of us! It was Bailu who opened the Star Raft!" Gui Naifen and Su Chang, who had hurriedly escaped from the Star Raft together, quickly pointed to Bailu, whom they were carrying.
In response, 'Qingque' sighed.
