Chapter 713

"Do you think you can trap me like this?" A phantom voice echoed in the palace, carrying a chilling smile.

"Jing Yuan! You're holding me here, aren't you afraid that these Sui Yang will be used by me?"

"These Sui Yang will soon become my helpers. By then, the entire Immortal Boat will fall into endless darkness again!"

At this time, Lin Yu and the others walked towards this side.

"who!"

The underworld officials, judges, and some powerful people around Huanlong all looked over here at the same time.

"Lin Yu? Why are you here?" Jing Yuan frowned and stared at Lin Yu and the people around him. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, including surprise at Lin Yu's sudden appearance and worry about the change in the situation.

Hearing Lin Yu's name, Huanlong's arrogant expression disappeared in an instant, and he raised his head numbly and looked at Lin Yu.

The past came flooding back to her mind like a tide. Although they parted ways at the martial arts ceremony due to their different philosophies, she later resurrected Hu Lei and carried out a plan to destroy the Xianzhou Alliance, causing heavy losses to Xianzhou.

But the experience of Lin Yu trying to win her over was still vivid in her mind. After all, it was he who had promised her what he had promised her.

A perfect body, he promised.

It's just that she was too anxious, eager to realize her twisted ideals, so she ended up like this.

Even after leaving, she did not destroy the body given to her by Lin Yu, but took good care of it, as if it was the only proof of her bond with Lin Yu.

"General Jingyuan, long time no see." Lin Yu's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed particularly calm in this tense atmosphere.

His gaze shifted away from Jing Yuan and swept across Huanlong and the people around him who were hostile to him.

“That being said, the timing of my appearance seems to be wrong. I guess my current identity is that of an intruder.” Lin Yu spread his hands and said, with a seemingly relaxed smile on his face, but behind that smile, there was a deep meaning that others could hardly perceive.

"Lin Yu, you shouldn't come here." Jing Yuan said in a deep voice, his eyes moving back and forth between Lin Yu and Huanlong, trying to figure out Lin Yu's purpose.

"Huanlong is extremely evil. She attempted to use the power of Suiyang to destroy the Immortal Boat. We will not let her succeed. If you are involved with her, don't blame me for being merciless."

Lin Yu shook his head slightly, "General Jingyuan, Huanlong and I have parted ways a long time ago. This time I came here because it concerns the survival of the Immortal Boat. Huanlong is just a chess piece, and the real black hand is still in the dark."

Huanlong heard Lin Yu's words and snorted coldly, "Lin Yu, stop pretending here. Do you think they will believe you if you say these? You and I are the same kind of people. We both want to break the existing order of Xianzhou, but I am more courageous than you and dare to take action."

Lin Yu looked directly at Huanlong, "I am different from you. I pursue a better future for Xianzhou, not chaos at the cost of destruction. You are blinded by desire and have lost yourself."

Just as they were in a stalemate, there was a sudden violent tremor in the palace.

Those imprisoned Sui Yang seemed to be pulled by some force and began to struggle more frantically.

“Huanlong, you and I have known each other for a long time. I know you want to make the Xianzhou Alliance better, but doing so will only bring destruction, not repair.” Lin Yu said loudly, trying to drown out Sui Yang’s roar and the shaking of the palace.

"Lin Yu, you don't understand. The Immortal Boat is now rotten, and various forces are fighting for power. The people at the bottom are suffering. If you don't want to help you, how can you break this seemingly indestructible rotten pattern without taking drastic measures?"

"But you want to use Sui Yang now to cause such chaos, which will cause countless innocent lives to suffer. The real repair should be gradual and promote reforms within the alliance through peaceful means."

"A peaceful way? How can those in power give up their power and interests so easily? I have tried it before, but all I got was suppression and exclusion. So, I decided to use my own way to completely destroy it all and rebuild a fair and just immortal ship."

"I'm doing this all for you! For you!"

"Do you understand!"

"Huanlong, fighting violence with violence is never the best way to solve problems. The problems you mentioned can be solved through other means. Look, wherever the Starry Sky Train goes, doesn't it influence and change things in a gentle and positive way?" Lin Yu tried to use the concept of the Starry Sky Train to awaken Huanlong.

Huanlong sneered disdainfully, "The Star Train? It's just a passerby drifting around in the universe, doing some insignificant things. They can't touch the deep-seated cancer of a huge force like the Immortal Boat Alliance."

Jing Yuan listened quietly to the conversation between the two, looking at Huanlong vigilantly, while also paying attention to Lin Yu's every move.

The relationship between Lin Yu and Huanlong is complicated, and the situation is unclear at the moment, so he must be extremely careful.

Those underworld officials and judges also began to show fear on their faces, and their original hostility towards Lin Yu and others was shaken a little in the face of the fear brought by Sui Yang.

"Huanlong, look, the chaos you caused has begun to get out of control. Once these Sui Yang break free, the entire Immortal Boat will be doomed. Can you really bear to see countless lives disappear and the old Immortal Boat destroyed before the new one is built?"

Huanlong gritted his teeth, with a look of struggle on his face, "Lin Yu, you said it lightly, but the reality does not allow me to have any other choice. Those in power are willing to sacrifice countless grassroots people in order to protect their own interests. If I don't make up my mind, Xianzhou will never get ahead!"

"We can unite and speak out together to push the top leaders of the Xianzhou Alliance to reflect and reform. As long as we uphold the belief of justice and kindness, there will always be people willing to stand up and work hard for the future of Xianzhou."

"Humph, naive! Those people have long been corrupted by interests, how could they change so easily?"

"What's more, you have revealed your plan here, and Jing Yuan, who is the general of Xianzhou Luofu, is beside you."

"How would he feel?" Huanlong said.

When Jing Yuan heard Huanlong's words, his expression did not change, but he exuded a cold aura.

"Lin Yu, how do you explain what Huanlong said? If you really want to promote reforms in the top management of the Xianzhou Alliance, why have you never discussed it with us, but allowed Huanlong to plan such a crazy move?"

Lin Yu met Jing Yuan's gaze and said frankly, "General Jing Yuan, I didn't mean to hide it, but before that, I was also exploring the attitudes and bottom lines of various forces, and I didn't dare to act rashly. Huanlong's behavior, although extreme, also reflects the many problems of Xianzhou. I wanted to solve some hidden dangers in private first, and then discuss reform strategies with you."

Huanlong sneered at the side, "Humph, that sounds nice, you are just afraid that your plan will be hindered, General Jingyuan, don't be fooled by him, he is just like me, he was dissatisfied with the current order of the Immortal Boat."

"He also killed many innocent people. His hands were also stained with blood. It's just that he was good at disguising himself and hid his crimes even more deeply."

Jing Yuan did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "Huanlong, the crisis that Xianzhou is facing now does not allow us to blame each other or waste our energy here. Regardless of any differences in the past, if you do not want to be judged, then working together to deal with the Suiyang Rebellion is the top priority."

"Judgment? You think you can kill me?"

"The most we can do is seal it. Liao Yuan is about to break the seal. Let's see what you will do then!"

"Huanlong, don't be so arrogant. Even if Liaoyuan breaks the seal, what can it do? The Immortal Boat has stood for thousands of years, and has experienced countless storms and rainstorms, and faced countless powerful enemies and crises. How could it be afraid of a threat like yours? If you still insist on being stubborn and continue to be our enemy, you will end up in an irreparable end. Now cooperate with us to resist Suiyang together, and there may be a glimmer of hope. You'd better take care of yourself."

"Huanlong, at this point, can't you see the situation clearly? If we really wait for Liaoyuan to break the seal, the chaos that will be caused may not even be under their control. By then, the Immortal Boat will be in a desperate situation with countless lives lost, and countless innocent people will suffer misfortune in this disaster."

Huanlong was very clear that Sui Yang's threat was no empty talk. Once that terrifying power got out of control, he would most likely be shattered into pieces in this catastrophe.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you for now."

"Well, then please tell us what goal you want to achieve with Sui Yang?" Lin Yu asked.

Huanlong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if hesitating, but finally spoke slowly, "I originally thought that with the help of Suiyang's power, I could break the current order that seems peaceful but is actually corrupt."

"For a long time, the many rules and systems of Xianzhou have been nothing more than shackles used by the superiors to imprison the people and protect their own interests. I want to change all of this and build a brand new and fairer Xianzhou."

She paused for a moment, "I thought that although the Sui Yang's leader Liao Yuan has been sealed for a thousand years, its power is still extremely strong. If we can control it, we can trample on the so-called 'justice' and rewrite the history of Xianzhou. I know it sounds crazy, but in my eyes, this is the only way to change the current situation of Xianzhou."

"It is also the only way to help Lin Yu."

"He didn't want to be so extreme, so I had to take action. This has nothing to do with him."

Jing Yuan frowned slightly, "Huanlong, your idea is too extreme. Although the order of the Immortal Boat is not perfect, it has been established through countless hardships over the generations. It is designed to protect the people and maintain the stability and development of the Immortal Boat. If you only rely on your own opinions and try to change it in such an extreme way, it will only cause countless innocent people to fall into dire straits, and it will not bring new life, but destruction."

Huanlong sneered, "Humph, protecting the people? Maintaining stability? Then why are there so many injustices happening in Xianzhou? Why are the people at the bottom still suffering? How can you, the high and mighty ones, truly understand their suffering?"

Lin Yu waved his hand quickly, trying to ease the atmosphere. "Huanlong, we admit that there are some problems in the Xianzhou, but the way to solve the problem is by no means to rely on the terrifying and out-of-control power of Suiyang. We can gradually improve the current situation through reasonable reforms. Think about it, if Suiyang loses control, the entire Xianzhou will be doomed. At that time, what is the meaning of the fairness and justice you expect?"

Seeing Huanlong was moved, Lin Yu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Huanlong, let's work together and change in the right way. As long as we work together, we will definitely make the Xianzhou better. You took this extreme path for me, how can I watch you fall into eternal damnation? We still have a chance."

"Well, I'll trust you for now, but if you can't fulfill your promise, I will never let it go."

"Then please suppress these Sui Yang." Jing Yuan said to Huanlong who was tied up on the stage.

"Hmph, I can suppress Sui Yang, but you'd better do what you say. If Xianzhou remains the same afterwards, you just wait and see." After saying that, she closed her eyes, and the aura around her surged. A force emanated from her body and spread towards the Sui Yang who were ready to make a move.

"Ding! Mission completed! Mission rewards: 100 attribute points, destiny +1, and 200 million dome coins!"

Suddenly, the system's voice came.

Lin Yu subconsciously looked at Aha.

This task...is it so easy to complete?
