Chapter 476
Jing Yuan's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and he felt mixed emotions as he looked at Ying Xing lying on the ground in the martial arts arena.
The beauty just recalled formed a sharp contrast with the cruel reality before my eyes. It was a pain like a sharp knife cutting through my soul.
He walked slowly towards Ying Xing, and every step seemed to carry a heavy weight.
The air around him seemed to freeze, and only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the silent training ground.
Jing Yuan squatted down and looked at Ying Xing with his eyes closed and a painful expression on his face. His eyes were full of complex emotions, including heartache for his old friend's current situation, resentment towards that power, and a deep sense of powerlessness.
Huai Yan and Fei Xiao looked at each other, and they saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Huai Yan stepped forward and said, "Jing Yuan, we have to take Ying Xing to a safe place as soon as possible. There are too many people here, and that power may strike again at any time."
Jing Yuan nodded slightly. He gently picked up Ying Xing, stood up and walked out of the martial arts field. At this time, Ying Xing's body was cold, like a lifeless piece of ice, but Jing Yuan could feel the faint breath in his body.
...
"What did I see? Three generals showed up at the martial arts ceremony? And they took the serious criminal away?" At this time, a man in the audience spoke with a look of astonishment on his face. His voice trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. His eyes widened with disbelief, and his mouth was slightly open, as if he was trying to digest this incredible scene.
When the people around heard his words, they immediately turned their eyes to him, and then looked in the direction of the incident in the center of the martial arts field. A noisy discussion began to arise in the crowd, buzzing like a disturbed swarm of bees.
"Are they really three generals? Why did they suddenly appear here?"
"Is the person who was taken away really a felon? How could this martial arts ceremony be related to a felon?"
"Today's incident is really strange. It seems that there are many hidden secrets behind it that we don't know about."
The tourists were guessing one after another, and everyone's face was full of curiosity and confusion. Some tourists stretched their necks to see clearly the direction where the generals left, trying to find some answers from their backs, while others surrounded the person who had just spoken, and kept asking him for more details about what he saw.
However, matters concerning the Immortal Boat have always been subject to strict regulations, and rumors are generally not spread to the outside world.
Therefore, both local residents and foreign tourists are well aware of this unwritten rule, but at this moment, their strong curiosity still makes their behavior somewhat out of control.
...
Jing Yuan and the other two were preparing to go to a forbidden area with Ying Xing, but suddenly, people from the Ten Kings Division appeared like ghosts.
They were wearing the same black robes. The robes were of a special texture. They looked soft but exuded a mysterious aura, as if they could swallow up all the light.
The black robes were embroidered with complex and mysterious patterns with silver thread. Those patterns flickered slightly as they moved, like the flickering cold stars in the night sky, emitting a cold light.
A man from the Ten Kings Division slowly walked out of the crowd. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step he took was accompanied by an invisible majesty.
"Hand over Ying Xing. He has Shu's flesh and blood in his body. This is a disaster for Xianzhou."
Jing Yuan frowned, "We will handle Ying Xing's affairs ourselves, so the Ten Kings Department won't have to worry about it."
"General Jing Yuan, you should understand the seriousness of this matter. The Marshal and the top leaders of our Ten Kings Division have put in all their efforts to seal Shu Hu's consciousness. We must not let any accidents related to Shu Hu get out of control. Even the slightest mistake may cause the Immortal Boat to fall into an irreparable situation."
Jing Liu flashed and stood in front of Ying Xing like a flash of lightning. The Zhili sword in her hand trembled slightly, making bursts of crisp sword sounds, as if she was demonstrating to the enemy.
"Ying Xing is our partner. We will not give up on him. We have the ability to solve the problems in his body and will not put the Immortal Boat in danger. Don't even think about taking him away."
Huai Yan also took a step forward and stood beside Jing Yuan and Jing Liu. He frowned slightly and looked at the people from the Ten Kings Division. "They have fought side by side with Ying Xing for many years and know his situation best. If you forcibly take him away now, it will only make the situation worse. This is not protecting the Immortal Boat, but creating chaos."
At this time, the people of the Ten Kings Division raised their hands in unison, and energy gathered in their palms, transforming into black light chains. Runes on the light chains flickered, emitting a powerful binding force.
"We are following orders. Everything is for the safety of the Immortal Boat. For the sake of the overall situation, we must take him away."
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense and the two sides were deadlocked, like a powder keg ready to explode.
The man from the Ten Kings Division stared coldly at Jing Yuan and the other two, his voice low and majestic, "You three are generals of Luofu, Yaoqing and Zhu Ming. If this is an order from the marshal, do you dare to disobey it?" His words were like heavy hammers, striking in the air. Every word carried a powerful oppressive force, as if to crush Jing Yuan and the others.
Jing Yuan's expression froze, but the determination in his eyes did not waver at all. He looked at the leaders of the Ten Kings Division and said, "If the marshal were here, he would never let you act like this. Ying Xing is my comrade-in-arms and he was once the guardian of the Immortal Boat. We don't believe that the marshal would give such a cold-blooded order before understanding the situation clearly." His voice was steady and powerful, as if he was defending their beliefs.
Jing Liu sneered, "Marshal has always been fair. How could he judge Ying Xing as hopeless just because he has Shu Hu's flesh and blood? We are trying to find a way to resolve this crisis, but you are here to stop us. Do you have other intentions?"
"Is it true that the only way out for me with so much wealth is to be hunted down and die?" The broken sword in her hand hummed, as if she was also angry about this unreasonable situation.
Huai Yan frowned and looked at everyone in the Ten Kings Division. "We are all concerned about the safety of the Immortal Boat, but your current behavior is undoubtedly destroying our possibility of solving the problem. If the Marshal really has an order, he must let us know the reason instead of taking Ying Xing away without any explanation." There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He was full of suspicion about the sudden appearance and tough attitude of the Ten Kings Division.
"There is no need to explain the Marshal's orders to you. We just need to execute them. The flesh and blood in Ying Xing's body is a time bomb that may explode at any time and endanger the immortal boat. We cannot take this risk."
Jing Yuan took a deep breath, "We will not let you take Ying Xing away unless there is solid evidence that the marshal really gave this order and this is the only way to solve the problem. Otherwise, I will fight at all costs." He slowly summoned the long sword from his waist, and the blade shone with a sharp cold light.
"Are you willing to fight at all costs? Can the Ten Kings believe that you three generals are shielding a serious criminal? And for the sake of this serious criminal, you are willing to fight us at all costs?" His eyes became increasingly cold.
"Ying Xing is not a repeat offender! Nor should he be a repeat offender! He is a hero who risked his life for Xianzhou. Now he is deeply tortured, how can we abandon him? You regard him as a threat, but you don't know our many years of friendship with him, let alone our determination to solve the problem. Don't distort our protection into sheltering." The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, making a low humming sound, as if echoing its owner's emotions.
A trace of anger flashed in Jingliu's eyes. "You, the Ten Kings, keep saying that you are doing this for the Immortal Boat, but you are so blind. I know Yingxing better than you do. He was corrupted by Shuhu. We are trying to save him, but you want to push him into the abyss. If this is what you call maintaining the safety of the Immortal Boat, then it is truly stupid." She tightly grasped the Zhili Sword, and the sword body flashed with cold light, reflecting her face that became even colder because of anger.
Huai Yan stroked his beard and said seriously, "We are not people who ignore the overall situation. This time we are facing this crisis together with Ying Xing in order to eliminate the hidden dangers from the root. If you take him away by force, it will destroy the true peace of the Immortal Boat and give evil an opportunity to take advantage."
The people from the Ten Kings Division snorted coldly, "Sweet talk! What you are doing now is to make you an enemy of the Immortal Boat. The sudden flesh and blood in Ying Xing's body is an established fact. If you insist on protecting him, you will bear the consequences at your own risk." He waved his sleeves, and the energy of the people from the Ten Kings Division behind him glowed brightly.
Jing Yuan took a step forward, and powerful energy burst out from him, "If you must stop me, then come on, I will never back down." After saying that, Jing Yuan pushed Jing Liu and Huai Yan back, as if he didn't want them to get involved.
That way, even if he was punished, it would be only him.
"Enough!" Suddenly, a calm voice came from the sky. The voice was like a huge bell. Although it was not loud, it had a power that could penetrate the soul, making the two sides who were on the verge of a fight calm down instantly.
When everyone heard it, they all recognized it as the marshal's voice and looked up.
Suddenly, a gigantic energy-transformed divine body appeared in the sky. It was like a towering mountain suspended in the sky, emitting a brilliant and mysterious light.
The divine body was surrounded by a colorful halo, which was like a flowing galaxy, dazzling yet profound and unfathomable. Every ray of light seemed to contain endless energy, interweaving into complex and gorgeous patterns.
The Marshal's energy-transformed divine body had majestic outlines. Although the lines on his face were blurred, his eyes were like two bright lights. Wherever his gaze reached, it seemed as if he could see through everything in the world.
The aura emanating from the divine body was like a vast ocean, deep and vast, making everyone present feel a kind of pressure from the depths of their souls and unconsciously feel awe.
This momentum is not only a symbol of strength, but also a kind of authority, an unquestionable force of existence that makes everyone in the Immortal Boat willing to follow.
Jing Yuan, Jing Liu, Huai Yan and the others from the Ten Kings Division all looked at the gigantic divine body, with different emotions in their eyes.
There was anticipation, nervousness, and awe. They were all waiting for further instructions from the Marshal, because at this critical moment, the Marshal's decision would determine Ying Xing's fate.
