"What's the current situation of the Ming Clan?" Qiong asked.

"The Immortal Boat Alliance and the Chiming Clan have an oath that the Chiming Clan must not be stained with blood in the Chiming Holy Land."

Danheng spoke in place of Lingsha about the current situation. Qiong was surprised to find such a vow still in place. No wonder the people of the Ming Clan dared to do anything.

"So, this place has become their protective shield?"

"Yes, but it's not without a solution."

Dan Heng nodded. This was also why he had come along. What did the oath of the Immortal Ship have to do with the Nameless Guest?

“Indeed, I can think of a hundred at a time, such as having Ling Sha do it.”

"I am a civil official and am not skilled in martial arts."

Ling Sha rolled her eyes at Qiong and said that even if she was good at fighting, she shouldn't fight here. This was her hometown, and it would be extremely disrespectful to fight her own kind here. She should apologize after the fight.

"Then I'll do it. I'm not a Celestial Ship person."

Qiong pointed to himself with a smug look on his face and said, "This time, I'll just accept it. Isn't that how outsiders use it?"

"I want to hear their explanation."

As Ling Sha spoke, she walked towards the upper steps of the Lin Yuan Realm. Qiong and Dan Heng followed behind her. When they reached the high platform, they met a brother that Qiong was quite familiar with.

"Oh, isn't this my brother Taoran? How have you been lately?"

Qiong's eyes lit up when he saw Long Shi Taoran. He still hadn't used up all the treasures he had acquired from the Chiming Clan, so in his eyes, Taoran was a walking treasure trove. Naturally, he was exceptionally enthusiastic.

"It's you?"

Long Shitao was completely distraught after seeing Qiong. He would rather face Jing Yuan than this guy, as the psychological trauma Qiong had left on him was too great.

"Do you know?"

Ling Sha asked curiously, and Dan Heng was also puzzled. In their view, there was no way that Qiong and Long Shi could have any connection, so it was strange that these two people could know each other.

"Of course I know him. Brother Taoran has given me a lot of gifts before. Our friendship is as strong as gold and stone."

Qiong walked up to Long Shitaoran in a few steps and said with a smile, even trying to hold his hand to express friendship. Long Shitaoran took a few steps back with a disgusted look on his face, and felt that things were not going well.

"you come back."

Ling Sha spoke up, and Qiong could only obediently return to her side, but she still stared intently at Long Shi Taoran, as if trying to pry something off him.

"Elder, you have seen all the evidence. What is your explanation for the prison break from the Dark Prison?"

Ling Sha entered negotiation mode. She took out the evidence she obtained from the prison. At this point, there was no need to show it to Long Shi Tao Ran. He knew what he had done anyway. The evidence included, but was not limited to, the demonic spirit helping in the prison break, the magic of Chi Ming helping the enemy to move freely, and the map drawn by Chi Ming.

"Indeed, I played a part in planning the prison break from the prison."

Long Shitao immediately nodded in agreement, while Qiong looked at him with a strange expression and then muttered something under her breath.

"Why did you admit it so readily this time?"

Qiong's words clearly stirred up bad memories for Long Shitao. He glared at Qiong, as if to say that if he hadn't been secretly plotting something else last time, how could he have been taken advantage of by this shameless person? This time, he was determined to fight Qiong to the death.

Chapter 327 You're courting death.

"So the appearance of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings and the Great Lord of Annihilation in the Pill Refining Division, causing chaos in the Pill Refining Division, introducing the Star Core, and causing the Jianmu Tree to be reborn are also inextricably linked to Chiming?"

Ling Sha began to list Chi Ming's various crimes, which were recorded in the evidence provided by Qiong. They were considered to be multiple crimes, but in reality, each of them was a capital offense. Adding a capital offense to a capital offense was equivalent to adding nothing.

"Not bad, are you surprised? You were sent by the Shence Palace as envoys, didn't you want to hear me confess?"

Long Shi Taoran is now quite magnanimous, taking all the blame upon himself. Qiong really has no way to deal with this situation. Even though Long Shi Taoran was thrown out to take the blame, Dan Shu has only reached his level. People above him are hidden away, and there is no need for him to appear in front of Dan Shu.

"Since the chaos of the Moon Drinking Incident, the number of Ming people has dwindled day by day. However, the people of the Immortal Ship are determined to eradicate the plague and stand idly by while the Ming people suffer. Danheng, Lingsha, as Ming people, you should understand my good intentions. All I have done is to survive."

Long Shitao suddenly changed the subject and started playing the emotional card. He explained that the Chiming were dying one by one and no new ones were being born, so they were going to be wiped out. Therefore, they were going to cause trouble, because it was better to wipe out other people's clans than to wipe out their own. That was the core idea.

"Who asked you?"

As the most skilled verbal sparring person here, Qiong certainly wouldn't let Long Shi Taoran control the pace. With just one sentence, he made Long Shi Taoran so angry that he almost exploded.

Why did you interrupt me?

Long Shitao still had a lot to say. Even if he couldn't persuade Dan Heng and Ling Sha to help, he could at least express his nobility. But now that Qiong had said that, he felt he had lost face because no one had asked him.

"Now that we're asking you about your crimes, why don't you just honestly confess? What's with all this talk about your mental journey? If you do, you won't be a criminal anymore?"

Qiong hates it when criminals talk about their inner thoughts all the time. Like his wife, Dan Shu, she never denies that she is an irredeemable villain, and she even says that she deserves to die. As for her motives, she leaves it to those who want to know, and she has never mentioned them herself. All she wants is revenge and the thrill of battle.

"Qiong is right. Even if the Ming Clan is to be wiped out tomorrow, it is not an excuse for you to harm so many lives. You should apologize now for the people who died in the Star Core Chaos and the Prison Break."

Ling Sha had originally intended to pause Long Shi Tao Ran's words, but after Qiong's words, she realized that there was no need to listen at all. Listening to it would only make her unhappy and would not do her any good. Qiong was absolutely right.

"Hmph, you want to make a move? Have you forgotten the oath between the Immortal Ship and the Bright One?" Dragon Master Tao Ran roared angrily.

"Brother, you haven't forgotten who I am, have you? We two Star Train passengers don't have the Immortal Ship affix, so we're unaffected by its effects."

Qiong came to Danheng's side and winked at Long Shitaoran, his cheeky expression making Long Shitaoran feel his lungs swell several times, and he had to take several breaths to barely suppress it.

"Alright, alright, how about this move?"

Long Shitao gave a wink to someone behind him, and several shadowy figures who had been hiding below the steps on the other side of the platform came up. Two of them were demonic spirits, and they were holding a short, blue-haired dragon girl hostage with the weapons on their arms.

"Miss Bailu!"

Dan Heng panicked upon seeing the little dragon girl. Seeing his anxious expression, Qiong silently retreated a bit. This Dragon Master Tao Ran was truly hopeless. If things had been peaceful, Dan Heng might not have gone too far, but now this guy had actually captured Dan Heng's white moonlight. Although she was a reincarnated white moonlight, she was still so fair and so cute. If Dan Heng didn't stab Dragon Master Tao Ran to death today, it would only mean that his marksmanship was bad.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Bai Lu suddenly disappeared in front of the two demonic monsters, and the bodies of the two monsters were instantly torn to pieces. Looking at Qiong's side, Fei Xiao had Bai Lu under his arm. No one could see how she did it.

"You, you, General Tianji, what are you doing here?"

Long Shitao's eyes widened at this moment. He had originally wanted to threaten Dan Heng and say a few sarcastic words, but after seeing Fei Xiao, his voice trembled. Unlike Qiong, he knew what it meant to face a general-level figure directly. He didn't even dare to look directly at the easy-going Jing Yuan, let alone Fei Xiao, the infamous general who had achieved great victories. The number of people and monsters that Fei Xiao had killed was beyond his imagination.

"What a coincidence! I don't read much, and I wanted to hear Master Long's lofty discourse, but unfortunately I only saw a piece of trash using a little girl as a hostage."

Feixiao looked at Long Shitao with a smile, but that smile made him feel that he was not far from death, the kind of death where he couldn't even piece together a complete body to be reborn in an egg.

"Dr. Bailu, didn't you tell me to eat some good food? I followed your advice. Do you think I've recovered?"

After Fei Xiao finished speaking, she ignored Long Shi Tao Ran. In her opinion, there was no need for her to pay any more attention to these little mudskippers. Qiong and the others were enough to handle them. At this moment, she also coaxed Bai Lu. Although this little dragon girl was a Dragon Lord, she was still just a child at heart and was very scared.

"Really? How did they do that!"

Bai Lu's attention shifted to Fei Xiao after hearing her words. After looking at her carefully for a while, Bai Lu asked in surprise, holding Fei Xiao's hand tightly to see what had happened.

"Doesn't this make you look like a highly skilled doctor?"

Fei Xiao said with a smile. Dan Heng glanced at her gratefully, then looked at Long Shi Tao Ran with a cold gaze. His own special spear had appeared in his hand. It was handcrafted by his good brother and had been by his side for two lifetimes.

"What a joke! How could I be defeated by people like you? Even if you want to interrogate me, you have to go through the proper procedures and in the end, sentence me to be reincarnated after shedding my scales, just like you."

Long Shitao took a few steps back, not daring to meet Dan Heng's increasingly fierce gaze. He could accept reincarnation, but he didn't want to suffer physical pain. Now Dan Heng was clearly going to stab him with holes.

"You wish! With me as a precedent, even if you are reincarnated, you will still be you. This trick won't work."

Dan Heng approached Long Shi Tao Ran step by step, the cold light emanating from his spear shining on his face. The aura of the former Dragon Lord was now fully unleashed, indicating that he had been thoroughly enraged.

"With Chiming's deeply entrenched power within the alliance, this would be a piece of cake. You were once the Dragon Lord, you must know that!"

Long Shi Taoran was still shouting when, in the next moment, his body was pierced by the spear, lifted high into the air, and then slammed heavily into the ground. Even the specially made rocks could not withstand the force, and the ground instantly cracked into a spider web pattern. This was the first time Qiong had ever seen Dan Heng have such combat power in human form. Indeed, the white moonlight cannot be touched.

Chapter 328 Bold Ideas

"Oh, brother, my brother, what happened to you? You can't die!"

When Qiong saw that Long Shi Taoran had been killed by Dan Heng in one move, he was also filled with grief. He knelt down next to Long Shi Taoran and pressed hard on his pierced wound as if to stop the bleeding. However, Dan Heng did not pull out the spear. Qiong's pressing immediately caused the unfortunate wounded man to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"If you're going to die, tell me where you've hidden your treasure. Your mansion is definitely going to be raided, but I know you're not the type to put all your eggs in one basket. It's better to let me have it than let others benefit."

Qiong looked worriedly at Long Shi Taoran, who was spitting blood. His good brother's family property had already been almost completely emptied by him, but Qiong still did not intend to let him go. He had taken this tactic of taking advantage of someone's misfortune to the extreme.

Long Shitao glared at Qiong, unable to utter a single word. Seeing that he was still staring at him, Qiong forcefully began performing CPR on him again.

“Look at you, the Vidyadharas, you don’t have wives and daughters, otherwise I could take care of them and they wouldn’t be homeless, right?”

Qiong tried her best to perform CPR on Long Shi Taoran. Every time she pressed, he would spit out a mouthful of blood. Qiong was also curious about how much blood he could still spit out. Finally, Long Shi Taoran could not bear it any longer and shakily raised his hand to indicate that he had truly surrendered.

Qiong leaned close to Long Shitao's lips to listen to the kickback he was about to receive, and after hearing it, his expression turned solemn.

"Don't worry, my good brother, I'll keep this fortune with me for now. When you are reincarnated and return, I will definitely return it to you."

Qiong spoke very seriously to Long Shi Taoran. After hearing this, Long Shi Taoran spat out another mouthful of blood. His memories had been wiped clean after his reincarnation, so how could he possibly ask Qiong for those assets again? At this moment, Long Shi Taoran also shed tears of regret. If he had known he would encounter this beast, he would never have kidnapped Bai Lu.

“Ah Liu Yiqi is like Si Ba Yueyi Qiong, let him go.”

Ling Sha couldn't help but speak up. She also felt that Long Shi Taoran was utterly wicked, but she couldn't bear to see him tortured like this by Qiong, a villain. Upon hearing this, Qiong left. Dan Heng also pulled his spear out of Long Shi Taoran's chest. It was fortunate that the Chiming Clan had such resilient bodies; other races would have died long ago.

Ling Sha waved her hand, and a pink bunny jumped onto Long Shi Taoran's chest to stop his bleeding. Qiong was seeing Ling Sha's bunny used like this for the first time, and she had an idea in her mind: could she pack one up and take it with her?

"I've heard that General Fubo of Fanghu is a man of strong principles who hates evil. Given her character, she would surely make a fairer decision."

Fei Xiao spoke up, and Long Shi Tao Ran, who had just caught his breath, looked at Fei Xiao with a look of horror upon hearing this. Originally, this was an internal matter of Luo Fu, and no matter how he was interrogated, he would only be sentenced to reincarnation. However, if this matter were to reach Fang Hu, he would be doomed.

"Her? A female general."

From Fei Xiao's words, Qiong realized that General Fubo was a woman, and her eyes lit up. Seeing his expression, Fei Xiao immediately grabbed his ear and pulled him so hard that he had to stand on tiptoe.

"What are you thinking? Get rid of that idea."

Feixiao smiled and said to Qiong, who nodded quickly, knowing that his wife was jealous. But he clearly had many wives, so why did Feixiao only react so strongly to General Fubo? Perhaps it was because of the repulsion between men and women.

"General Fubo is the Wisdom-Holding Dragon Lord of the Immortal Boat Fanghu."

Dan Heng spoke up at this moment to explain, while also warning Qiong not to have any strange thoughts about General Fubo, since it was unlikely that they would meet anyway.

"Fu Bo, hmm, that's a good name... but of course it still can't compare to the mighty and invincible General Tianji."

Qiong stroked his chin and said, noticing Feixiao smiling gently at him. He quickly changed his tune and began praising his wife.

Long Shitao was arrested by the Cloud Cavalry brought by Ling Sha, his face ashen. With that, all the traitors on the Immortal Ship had been caught, and all the external enemies were dead. With the threat gone, the Martial Arts Ceremony could naturally proceed as scheduled, and the sky seemed to have cleared up a lot.

"Miss Bailu, now that all the bad guys have been caught, no one will be able to bully you anymore. If anyone does, just say my name, and next time I'll make sure they get their hands on you."

Qiong bent down in front of Bailu and touched her soft cheek, saying that Bailu was the one who benefited the most after Long Shi Taoran was captured, which was something Qiong had planned to do beforehand.

"Are you... deliberately making things difficult for Tao Ran?"

Bai Lu looked at Qiong curiously and asked. She knew that Tao Ran was not a good person, but she was trapped in this position and had no other choice. Hearing Qiong say this, her goodwill towards him increased.

“I know that many people in the Chiming Clan want to break the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique on you. They threw you to the Pill Refinement Department for a lot of research, which resulted in you being locked up in the Pill Cauldron Division. Now that these cancers have been eliminated, you are the nominal leader of the Chiming Clan. From now on, you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want. No one can restrict you anymore.”

Qiong spoke of things that few people knew, which were recorded in detail in the evidence provided by Dan Shu. Because of her special birth, everyone was very interested in Bai Lu, that unfortunate child. However, the secret method was so profound that even Chi Ming and Dan Shu could not figure it out. Perhaps only Dan Heng, who had a complete memory, would know how to do it.

"Qiong, this is not good."

Danheng was somewhat uneasy about this. He was afraid that Bailu would really run off to play and forget her responsibilities as the Dragon Lord, and then the remaining Chiming would cause trouble again.

“Alas, everyone has their own ambitions. Even if you force her to be the Dragon Lord, she may not be able to lead the Vidyad clan. It would be better to hand it over to someone else. Ling Sha is a good choice.”

Qiong shook his head and said that Dan Heng fell silent after hearing this. In truth, he had indeed given the position to Bai Lu without considering whether she was capable. If, as Qiong said, she was unwilling to be the Dragon Lord, it would indeed be better to find someone else.

"I'll become the Dragon Lord, is it true?"

Ling Sha pointed at herself with a puzzled expression and asked. Qiong's unintentional words made her laugh in anger. Long Shi Tao Ran had been arrested, and now it depended on how many accomplices he could implicate. If he revealed everything, the Chi Ming of Luo Fu would probably face a major purge. At that time, she might really have a chance to become the Dragon Lord. After all, as the position of Si Ding, she was indeed the most authoritative Chi Ming.

After the events in Lin Yuan Realm concluded, Qiong and the others returned to the Dan Ding Division by boat. Fei Xiao's purpose in coming here was simply to witness the fate of the mastermind behind the scenes and then report the truth to the Alliance. After that, there was nothing more for her to do.

"Brother-in-law, let's keep in touch by text message later."

Fei Xiao waved to Qiong and left. She had almost finished what she needed to do in Luofu. Originally, she was going to transfer Hu Lei, but Hu Lei was already dead, and the investigation into Jing Yuan was also over. After the martial arts ceremony ended, it would be time for them to truly part ways.

Chapter 329 Inheritance

Inside the Pill Refining Bureau, Qiong was mourning someone.

A blue camera sat on a park bench. Bai Lu was crying her eyes out. Qiong stood beside her with a solemn expression, but his eyes also held a look of grief.

"Waaaaah... Miss March 7th!"

Bai Lu wiped away her tears and faced the camera, expressing her longing for March 7th. It seemed she had so much to say, but it all turned into sobs.

"Little March, there are so many things I didn't have time to say to you, and you're gone just like that."

Qiong was also heartbroken. He pounded his chest, filled with regret. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't bring March 7 back to life because she wasn't dead at all.

"Miss March! My Miss March!"

"Don't cry. Even though March is gone, we still have to keep living. Drinking a few more cups of milk tea will make her happier."

Qiong patted Bailu, who was still crying, and the two of them, singing in unison, left Danheng speechless, even though he remained silent the whole time.

Did March 7th know she was dead?
