Chapter 341: Killing Intent! The Cloud Knights' Military Might Shocks the Teyvat Tourists!
[Arataki Itto: Kujou Sara isn't speaking anymore, how embarrassing.
Even I know that the war on the Xianzhou isn't something we can just decide to fight.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Unbelievable, the boss grew a brain!]
[Arataki Itto: Hey, Kuki Shinobu, don't say that about me. No matter what, I can still see the difference in strength.]
[Kujou Sara: Is that so, but I don't see you being able to see the difference between you and me.]
[Arataki Itto: Don't be ridiculous, Kujou Sara. Last time I just wasn't paying attention, that's why you took my Vision.
If you really want me to admit you're stronger than me, get The Power of Destiny first.]
[Arataki Itto: Oh right, the General doesn't allow the Astral Express to come to Inazuma.
In other words, you won't follow Luo Feng to the Universe, even if the Astral Express drew your name.]
[Kujou Sara: Ara...taki...Itto!!!]
[Gorou: Brother Itto, I respect you as a man.]
[Arataki Itto: Hahaha, just kidding, I'm not scared of Kujou Sara or anything.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Sigh, looks like I need to prepare to bail the boss out of prison.]
[Ei: The war on the Starcruiser, I wonder which is more dangerous compared to that war.]
[Nahida: Are you referring to the Archon War?]
[La Signora: Even the Archon War, its danger level is probably nowhere near what the Xianzhou is about to face.]
[Paimon: This... Hearing this, I suddenly feel so nervous.]
[Dehya: Me too.]
[Diona: Add one.]
[Nilou: Add one.]
"Miss Yukong, please rest assured, we are all mentally prepared."
"If there is danger, I will protect everyone as much as possible."
Morax said.
As someone who walked the Path of Preservation, as someone who obtained Luo Feng's light cone,
and as the Captain of the fourth train arranged by Luo Feng, Morax felt he had an obligation to protect everyone.
"If necessary, I will also take action."
Greater Lord Rukkhadevata said.
Although as the library administrator on the Astral Express, she was not a passenger, and under normal circumstances,
she did not need to participate in the travels and trials of other passengers.
But if everyone was truly facing a life-threatening danger, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata would not care about such things.
"With Rex Lapis and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata here, it seems our safety can be guaranteed."
Yae Miko said with a smile.
Hearing this, the other passengers also nodded in agreement.
One was someone with a bug-level light cone, and the other was someone who walked two Paths.
With Morax and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata present, the Astral Express passengers felt much more relaxed.
"I understand. Next, I will serve as their guide along with Tingyun."
"Tingyun, let's go."
Yukong said.
"Alright, I'll listen to you, Lord Yukong."
Tingyun let out a long sigh.
At this moment, she could only accept Yukong's suggestion, take a step, and follow Yukong's pace.
However, looking at Yukong's back, Tingyun's idea of destroying Yukong's spirit became even more firm in her heart.
...
On the other side.
"What... what is this!"
Guinaifen floated in the air with Luo Feng, looking at the vast expanse of Cloud Knights who were ready to go and standing in strict formation before her, her eyes instantly widened to the fullest.
Looking from afar, the number of Cloud Knights seemed to be tens of thousands.
Since coming to the Xianzhou she had never seen such a Cloud Knights army.
"How fierce will the battle be with so many Cloud Knights later?"
Guinaifen murmured.
Once upon a time, even when apprehending her brother, who was forced to become a Universe pirate, the Cloud Knights only sent out a small team.
But even so, the Cloud Knights showed very strong combat power.
Now that so many Cloud Knights were gathered here, Guinaifen felt startled just thinking about the appearance of the battlefield later.
"How about it? Film this spirited Cloud Knights army and broadcast it."
"This will definitely help you attract a large amount of attention and fans, right?"
Luo Feng turned his head and said to Guinaifen.Guinaifen nodded in agreement.
Many Xianzhou may not have even seen such a Cloud Knights formation.
Not to mention the Outlanders who have settled on the Xianzhou.
Publishing such formation content would definitely be more appealing than breaking stones on one's chest, swallowing swords, or biting lighters.However...
"Can I really live stream this content?"
"Won't the people above manage it... So close!"
"Th-that, Luo Feng, can you put me down now?"
Guinaifen turned to look at Luo Feng and almost kissed him.
Only then did she realize that she was too close to Luo Feng, and Luo Feng's hand was still on her waist.
She could even feel the warmth coming from Luo Feng's palm.
"Of course you can."
Luo Feng smiled and nodded:
"Also, I think if you greet Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan, you can still live stream this content."
"After all, if you can film the heroic appearance of the Cloud Knights and publish it, it can also be considered a form of promotion."
"When the Xianzhou's enemies see the heroic appearance of these Cloud Knights, they will also weigh things in their hearts before starting a war with the Cloud Knights."
"Let's go, we'll go see Fu Xuan now."
Guinaifen: "Huh! We're going to tell Fu Xuan now... So fast!"
Guinaifen only felt the surrounding scenery rapidly receding.
Amidst a dizzying sensation, she had already arrived in a military tent.
Fu Xuan and several Cloud Knights seemed to be discussing something.
"Who!"
A Cloud Knights general looked at the figure that suddenly appeared and instantly drew the sword from his waist.
"Wait, don't do anything."
"You guys go out for a moment."
Fu Xuan stopped the general and said.
"Ms. Fu Xuan, why is this?"
The general frowned.
"They are not enemies. In short, let me talk to them."
Fu Xuan looked at Luo Feng and said.
Hearing this, although the general was puzzled, the military token was in Fu Xuan's hands, so he couldn't say much and could only leave the tent with the other Cloud Knights.
"Luo Feng, why did you come here?"
"And you brought this Outlander."
After only Fu Xuan, Luo Feng, and Guinaifen remained in the tent, Fu Xuan walked to Luo Feng with a puzzled look.
"H-hello, Diviner Fu Xuan."
Guinaifen rubbed the back of her head and said nervously."I promised Guinaifen that I would help her become a big streamer."
"I happened to pass by your place while gathering material."
"Seeing the Cloud Knights full of spirit, I wanted to get your permission to record their heroic appearance."
Luo Feng smiled and slapped Guinaifen's back, making her come before Fu Xuan.
"Diviner Fu Xuan, do you mind if Guinaifen puts the heroic appearance of the Cloud Knights online?"
Luo Feng asked.
"Just because of this?"
Fu Xuan frowned slightly and looked at Guinaifen.
She originally thought Luo Feng was here to help and was quite happy in her heart.
One could imagine that if Luo Feng's Lighting Lord also joined the battlefield,
neither the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus nor the other enemies currently on the Xianzhou would be able to threaten the Xianzhou Luofu at all.
...
"Just because of this?"
Fu Xuan frowned slightly and looked at Guinaifen.
"Y-yes!"
Guinaifen shrank her head.
She always felt that there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in Fu Xuan's tone of voice.
Fu Xuan was naturally unhappy, but it wasn't towards Guinaifen.
It wasn't towards Luo Feng either.
She was simply annoyed by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus matter.
By now, she had mostly finished investigating the strength of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
In her original estimation, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus only consisted of some Alchemist who could temporarily maintain their consciousness while Mara-Struck.
However, after some investigation, she discovered that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus forces had gained many Abundance Spirits.
Although there were no troublesome characters like the Abundance Ebon Deer among them, the Abundance Spirits standing in the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's ranks were also quite strong.
Moreover, their numbers had reached a level that could not be underestimated.
Fu Xuan knew that this was probably because The Ambrosial Arbor had revived, and the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus had subsequently created these Abundance Spirits.
Although Fu Xuan was not afraid even with such forces at the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's disposal,if they were to truly fight, the Cloud Knights would surely suffer significant losses.
This was Fu Xuan's first time leading troops, and she did not want such casualties to occur under her command.
Therefore, she could be said to be quite hopeful that Luo Feng could help a little.
"Luo Feng, this Outlander isn't related to you, is he?"
"You're being a bit too considerate towards her."
Fu Xuan sighed and said.
"Not exactly related, but I do quite like lively and cute girls."
Luo Feng smiled and said, as Guinaifen blushed.
"Fine."
Fu Xuan shook her head:
"Since it's your suggestion, I will allow her to record the footage."
"However, I need to review these recorded images before they are broadcast."
Luo Feng nodded and said:
"That's reasonable. Then I wish you a swift victory, Fu Xuan."
"Let's go, Guinaifen, it's time for us to leave."
Saying this, Luo Feng led Guinaifen towards the outside of the tent.
Fu Xuan: "Wait, Luo Feng."
Luo Feng: "Is there anything else, Diviner Fu Xuan?"
Fu Xuan: "No... nothing."
Fu Xuan pursed her lips, ultimately unable to think of a way to directly ask Luo Feng for help.
"If there's nothing, I'll be going."
"Oh, before I go, can I ask a question, Fu Xuan?"
Luo Feng asked.
Fu Xuan: "Please do."
Luo Feng: "The Cloud Knights have quite a few people. Have you ensured that every single one of them has received the medicine to suppress Dragons Ascent?"
Fu Xuan: "Naturally!"
Dragons Ascent can induce the Mara-Struck state in Xianzhou Long-Life species, which is extremely dangerous for the Cloud Knights.
Therefore, after obtaining the prescription for suppressing the effects of Dragons Ascent from Luo Feng,
Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, along with Bai Lu, personally took charge of producing a large quantity of elixirs that could suppress the effects of Dragons Ascent.
These elixirs were enough to supply every soldier present.
"That's good. When you truly engage in battle with the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus,"
"Remember to have every Cloud Knights take the elixir beforehand."
Luo Feng said.
He still remembered that when the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus fought the Cloud Knights, they would use poisonous mist that could directly induce the Mara-Struck state against the Cloud Knights.
In terms of inducing the Mara-Struck state, the effect of that poisonous mist far surpassed Dragons Ascent.
If they were to take the elixir formulated from Luo Feng's prescription after being affected, the elixir might not have much effect.
Although he had no intention of personally participating in the actual battle, he could at least give Fu Xuan a little reminder.
"Take it beforehand? Why?"
Fu Xuan frowned and asked, puzzled.
"Consider it insurance. Anyway, this elixir doesn't have any side effects."
Luo Feng waved his hand casually and pulled Guinaifen away, out of Fu Xuan's sight.
"Take the elixir beforehand..."
Fu Xuan rested her hand on her chin, her brows slightly furrowed as she calculated with her fingers."Hmm, taking the elixir beforehand has more benefits than drawbacks."
"Conversely, not taking the elixir beforehand is the worst outcome."
"Did Luo Feng calculate something in advance?"
Fu Xuan's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked out of the tent, wanting to question Luo Feng further.
However, at this moment, the figures of Luo Feng and Guinaifen were nowhere to be seen outside the tent.
"They've already left... Never mind, let's have the Cloud Knights take the elixir first."
Saying this, Fu Xuan personally issued orders and supervised every Cloud Knights to prepare to take the elixir before fighting the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
Meanwhile, at the location where Neuvillette, Tingyun, and Yukong were.
"Who are you, and why are you here?"
"Wait, Lord Yukong?"
"And Ms. Tingyun!"
A small squad of Cloud Knights appeared before Morax, Yukong, and the others.
The leader looked at Yukong with a puzzled expression.
"Wh... When?!"
Mona's eyes widened, and she looked at this small squad of Cloud Knights in horror.
Before they spoke, she hadn't detected their presence at all.
"They are the eyes of the Cloud Knights, responsible for guarding the surroundings."
Tingyun casually replied to Mona, then looked at the leader of the small squad of Cloud Knights.
"Don't worry, soldiers. They are not enemies."
"They are special forces specifically arranged by General Jing Yuan, and they are your comrades."
Tingyun said.
"Comrades, huh..."
The leader looked at Yukong again."Something like that. Anyway, don't mind us, just continue with your work."
"We'll go to Fu Xuan ourselves."
Yukong said.
"Allow us to guide Lord Yukong."
"We have already received the military order earlier, and we are about to march out."
The leading Cloud Knights said.Naturally, Yukong had no objection to this.
The group followed the Cloud Knights for a short distance, and the Cloud Knights' formation, which was getting ready to march, immediately appeared before Mona, Yae Miko, and the others.
At the same time, the powerful slogans of the Cloud Knights could be heard.
Even from a distance, everyone could feel an extremely strong sense of killing intent.
"Such powerful momentum!"
Xiao murmured.
...
Chapter 342 Can the Shogunate Army fight the Cloud Knights? Arataki Itto: Are you dreaming again, Kujou Sara!
"This is truly, I've never seen an army with such military might before."
Yae Miko exclaimed.
Neuvillette: "Such military might likely surpasses any army on the Teyvat Continent."
Morax: "By universal rationality, that is indeed the case."
[Uncle Tian: Xiao, the Adeptus and Rex Lapis gave such an evaluation? It seems the Cloud Knights' momentum they felt was quite extraordinary.]
[Diluc: Although I cannot truly feel the might of the Cloud Knights on the other side of the live stream, I can be certain that they are far superior to the Knights of Favonius.]
[Jean: Senior...]
[Kaeya: That's overly cunning, Master Diluc. To actually compare the Cloud Knights with the Knights of Favonius.]
[Venti: Yes, yes, how can an army on the ground be compared to an army in the sky?]
[Kaedehara Kazuha: This sentence...]
[Beidou: What is it, Kazuha?]
[Kaedehara Kazuha: Nothing, just thought of something an old friend said.]
[Beidou: Is that so? Speaking of which, the Cloud Knights' slogan is quite good.]
[Xianzhou soaring, Cloud Knights always victorious]
Shouldn't our fleet also have a similar slogan?
[Dehya: This slogan is indeed quite cool.
With an army so ready and full of momentum, it's hard to imagine how the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus will fight them.]
[Lumine: How to fight? Fight with their heads! Might as well just surrender.]
[Dehya: Yeah, yeah, at first I thought the Cloud Knights might face a tough battle.
But now, I just feel that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is probably going to have terrible luck.]
[Kaveh: Dori, want to start a bet? I bet the Cloud Knights will win easily.]
[Dori: You start it if you want, I don't want to be a sucker!
These Cloud Knights look fierce at a glance, everyone will definitely bet on the Cloud Knights winning easily, how am I supposed to win money like that!]
[Candace: On the Cloud Knights' side, there is also Rex Lapis who controls powerful light cones, and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata might also take action.
It seems now that this battle is indeed leaning towards the Cloud Knights being able to easily defeat the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus....]
"Yukong, why are you here?"
Fu Xuan looked at Yukong, who had arrived with Cloud Knights Reconnaissance Squad 02, and asked in confusion.
As for the arrival of Morax, Neuvillette, and the others, she was not surprised.
They were originally the surprise troops arranged by Jing Yuan.
"I received some news, and I really couldn't sit still."
"Fu Xuan, since we are about to go to war with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, let me participate as well."
Yukong said.
"You? But you are a civil servant now."
"Moreover, the Sky-Faring Commission still needs you to be in charge."
Fu Xuan frowned.
"Even as a civil servant, I can still draw a bow."
"As for the Sky-Faring Commission, my colleagues are temporarily managing it."
"This time, the enemy is actually within the Xianzhou."
"I suppose the Sky-Faring Commission won't need to arrange Starskiffs for combat either."
Yukong said.
Since she had caught up with the Starcruiser's war, Yukong didn't want to stand aside.
Although she no longer longed for the sky because of past events, ground combat was still something she was skilled at.
"I see... Alright then."
Fu Xuan finally nodded."What about us? Do we also have to participate in the battle?"
March 7th said, a little nervously."Are you nervous, March 7th?"
"Didn't we participate in battles before?"
Stelle asked.
"That... that's different."
"The battles we participated in before were just small skirmishes."
"But this time, it's a battle with tens of thousands of people."
"I'm a girl who gets dizzy in large crowds."
March 7th shook her head vigorously and said.
"From a universally rational perspective, a battle with tens of thousands of people is indeed vastly different from small skirmishes."
Morax cast a look of approval at March 7th.
"That being said, since we're already here, we can't just stand by, can we?"
Neuvillette looked at Fu Xuan.
"You don't need to participate in the main battlefield against the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
"After all, you are surprise troops, and surprise troops have their own way of being used."
"If you were exposed to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's eyes from the start."
"Then you would lose your role as surprise troops."
Fu Xuan said.
Although she also hoped for more strength to make it easier for her to win this battle.
But without knowing the details of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, revealing all the trump cards upfront might lead to greater risks.
Fu Xuan did not wish for such a situation to occur.
"Phew, it's a good thing we're surprise troops."
March 7th let out a long breath.
"What a pity, I thought I could have a big fight."
Stelle spread her hands, saying with a face full of regret.
"Hey, don't be regretful at a time like this."
March 7th looked at Stelle with feigned anger.
"In summary, for now, everyone should stay in the rear and wait for an opportunity."
"Oh right, I heard before that there are also Long-Life species among you."
"Since Luo Feng implicitly allowed you to participate in this operation."
"Then did he give you any medicinal pills to resist Mara-Struck?"
Fu Xuan asked Morax, Neuvillette, and the others
.Although Fu Xuan was not quite sure why Luo Feng reminded him to have the Cloud Knights take the medicinal pills to resist the effects of Dragons Ascent beforehand,
But to be safe, she felt it was necessary to remind Morax and the others.
"Medicinal pills?"
Tingyun's ears twitched, and she looked over curiously.
" Luo Feng did not give us any medicinal pills."
"However, he gave us these cards."
"And told us that it can prevent us from falling into Mara-Struck."
Morax took out the card Luo Feng gave him and said.
"Cards? Hmm? The cards actually contain Memorys power."
Fu Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
"So it is."
Yae Miko muttered to herself, looking at the card in her hand.
"Perhaps only Memorys power can most reliably help Long-Life species resist erosion, resist Mara-Struck."
"My Benefactor is really something, how great it would be if he gave me one of these good things too."
"Even though I'm still young, I should be able to use this card, right?"
Tingyun made a wronged expression and said.
"Memorys power may indeed be able to resist Mara-Struck."
"As for you, Tingyun, not getting such a card from Luo Feng."
"Perhaps it's because Luo Feng doesn't have enough cards on hand."
"Of course, it's also possible that you are indeed still very young."
Ms. Fu Xuan nodded and said,To be honest, she also wanted to have such an insurance card.
After all, she was still young and had many things left undone.
And being young might not necessarily withstand the methods of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
"That... I've been hearing you talk about Mara-Struck, Mara-Struck, and so on."
"What exactly does this Mara-Struck mean?"
"Why can the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus easily fall into the Mara-Struck state, and even cause other long-lived species to be in danger of falling into it?"
"Also, also, how can the cards containing the power of Remembrance that Luo Feng gave them protect them?"
"Most importantly, will we short-lived species really not be triggered into the Mara-Struck state by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus using their methods, just like the long-lived species?"
March 7th asked, puzzled.
......
"Hmm? You don't believe me?"
Ms. Fu Xuan frowned slightly and looked at March 7th.
"No, no, I just wanted to confirm it."
March 7th waved her hand and said.Ms. Fu Xuan sighed and said:
"Alright, just consider it a reassurance for you."
"Xianzhou medical officers believe that the Mara-Struck state is related to Remembrance."
"Although long-lived species have extremely long lifespans, the capacity of their Remembrance is limited."
"As time passes, the Remembrance of long-lived species will also fade, and the emotional threshold they can feel will continuously increase."
"In the end, only the most vivid and extreme Memories will remain for long-lived species."
"These Memories will inevitably be remnants of painful and regretful recollections.
"Under the influence of this pain and regret, the self of the long-lived species as a person will begin to collapse. This is the beginning of the Mara-Struck state."
[Cloud Retainer: As Luo Feng once said, the Xianzhou's Mara-Struck state is indeed related to the painful Memories retained in the Remembrance of long-lived species.]
[La Signora: Living for hundreds or thousands of years with only hatred left in one's heart, it's no wonder people go mad.]
[Dr.: You're quite experienced, La Signora.]
[La Signora: Hmph, you'd better keep your mouth shut, Dr.. Otherwise, I don't mind leaving some painful Memories in your heart and letting you experience the Mara-Struck state too.]
[Dr.: If possible, I'd actually look forward to falling into the Mara-Struck state and experiencing what it feels like.
However, without a physique cleansed by the Abundance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to fall into the Xianzhou's kind of Mara-Struck state.]
"I still don't quite understand. Since the Mara-Struck state is related to a person's Remembrance and emotional threshold,"
"How do those people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus induce their own Mara-Struck state using what methods,
and how can their pills cause those innocent Cloud Knights to fall into the Mara-Struck state?"
March 7th asked.
Ms. Fu Xuan put her hands on her hips and explained:
"We have already learned about the Dragons Ascent produced by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. This medicine rapidly raises a person's emotional threshold through its efficacy."
"After taking it for a period of time, it will even affect a person's Remembrance, forcing people to forget happy memories and only leave behind the painful ones."
"This creates the conditions for long-lived species to fall into the Mara-Struck state."
"Of course, as long as you don't take this pill, you'll be fine."
"I don't think you would have the idea of taking Dragons Ascent, would you?"
As she spoke, Ms. Fu Xuan's eyes scanned everyone present.
Hu Tao, Neuvillette, Baizhu, and others, swept by Ms. Fu Xuan's gaze, couldn't help but think of the pill they had obtained from Dan Shu.
For Hu Tao, who had no intention of taking the pill in the first place, she didn't feel it was a pity.
Baizhu, on the other hand, lowered his head, thinking about how to avoid the unfavorable factors mentioned by Ms. Fu Xuan.
"Of course not, I would never take a pill of unknown origin."
"Right, Stelle?"
March 7th said, turning to look at Stelle.
"Um... can I say I've already eaten it?"
Stelle scratched her head and said sheepishly.
"What, you've eaten it?"
March 7th's eyes widened.
Stelle chuckled twice and briefly explained what happened when she got the pill from Dan Shu earlier.
Ms. Fu Xuan shook her head and said:
"You are truly lucky, but it's good that you are fine."
"By the way, you don't have the cards left by Luo Feng."
"How about I give you some pills that can suppress the efficacy of Dragons Ascent?"
"Lest the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus throw Dragons Ascent into your mouths when you're not paying attention."
"Lord Yukong, Tingyun, you should also take one."
"If you fall victim to the methods of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, the Foxian race might also fall into the Mara-Struck state."
At this time, Ms. Fu Xuan began to think that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus might use some special methods to make their soldiers take Dragons Ascent.
Although taking Dragons Ascent does not necessarily mean that long-lived species will immediately fall into the Mara-Struck state
.But since it was Lord Luo Feng's reminder, Ms. Fu Xuan didn't mind being more cautious.
"Thank you, Ms. Fu Xuan."
Tingyun smiled and accepted the pill.Seeing this, Lord Yukong also did not refuse.
"Then, this one will set off first."
"You can then display your skills as a surprise force."
After Ms. Fu Xuan finished speaking, she strode towards the Cloud Knights' formation.
"I'll also go first. Be very careful, Tingyun."
Lord Yukong said to Tingyun.
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Yukong."
"Please be sure to be safe."
Tingyun looked at Lord Yukong with concern, her eyes shining.
After all, if something happens to you, I won't be able to let you experience the aesthetics of Destruction.
Tingyun thought to herself.
Lord Yukong didn't know Tingyun's thoughts.
She patted Tingyun's shoulder and then followed Ms. Fu Xuan's footsteps.
Before long, the Cloud Knights' army continued to advance.
As the surprise force, Morax, Welt Yang, and others could only watch from a distance for now.
About half an hour passed, and when the Cloud Knights led by Ms. Fu Xuan approached the depths of the Alchemy Commission, they finally encountered resistance.
A large number of Abundance Spirits, led by Alchemist wearing Alchemy Commission clothes, appeared before the Cloud Knights.
As the two sides approached, a battle that would change the Tivat People's understanding of war immediately began.
The Alchemist directly fell into a controllable Mara-Struck state, either manipulating lightning or wielding blades that grew from their bodies to attack the Cloud Knights.
The various spirits they controlled also either whipped up strong winds or swung giant fists at the enemy
.Numerous Alchemist and spirits attacked simultaneously, as if the world itself was about to change color.
The ground trembled, and the sky was swept by strong winds and lightning.
Just the sight alone made many Tivat People reluctant to enter.But against such an attack, the Cloud Knights managed to defend themselves and then,
relying on strict battle formations and the blades in their hands, they tore through the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's offensive inch by inch.
This scene left the Tivat People, especially those who had participated in or commanded wars like Kujou Sara and Gorou, somewhat speechless.
[Kujou Sara: What an intense battle, the power of the Cloud Knights is indeed not to be underestimated.]
[Beidou: Truly impressive! The strong winds and lightning summoned by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are worse than the worst weather I've encountered at sea.
It's amazing that the Cloud Knights could defend against them so easily.]
[Gorou: The formation of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is like the lightning that trapped Inazuma.
Yet those Cloud Knights could easily tear through that lightning and strong winds. If only we could have an army like the Cloud Knights...]
[Kujou Sara: Hmm? You want to use an army like this to fight the Shogunate Army? Hmph!
Even if you had such an army, we wouldn't fear them.
Victory will surely belong to our Shogunate Army.]
[Arataki Itto: Sara Kujou, why don't you take a good look at the Cloud Knights' performance again, and then reconsider if what you said is reasonable?]
[Kujou Sara: Arataki Itto!!!]
[Kuki Shinobu: Boss, can you stop provoking her?]
......
Chapter 343: Huantong: Does Luo Feng have too many abilities?!
[Dehya: Hiss... That's quite an exaggerated battle.]
[Tartaglia: Indeed, though I had already anticipated it, there are indeed quite a few skilled individuals among these Cloud Knights.
They can even easily slay Abundance Spirits of such massive size.How great would it be if I could also participate in this war!]
[Skirk: You should forget about it. If you were to participate in this war with your current strength, you would probably meet your end instantly.]
[Tartaglia: Uh, Master, you don't have to put it that way.]
[Skirk: It's just the truth. To participate in a war of this level, you need to at least obtain The Power of Destiny.]
[Tartaglia:...]
[Dr.: What a pity. If those Wooden Lupus and Malefic Ape could be dissected and studied, that would be wonderful.]
[Albedo: The power of these spirits is quite formidable. No wonder the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus dared to confront the Cloud Knights head-on.]
[Rosaria: But the Cloud Knights are still the ones with the advantage.]
[Kaeya: Ms. Yukong's combat power is extraordinary, and the formation Diviner Fu Xuan has deployed seems to have a touch of Preservation.
The attacks from the Abundance Spirits and Alchemist falling upon the Cloud Knights seem to be nullified by the formation Fu Xuan has deployed.]
[Paimon: Could it be that Fu Xuan is actually a practitioner of the Path of Preservation?]
[Lumine: Strange, doesn't she want to be the General?
Since she wants to be the General of the Xianzhou, she should be a practitioner of the the Hunt, right?]
[Rhinedottir: If there are no surprises in this battle, victory will belong to the Cloud Knights. It's just a pity that these Abundance Spirits will all be eliminated.]
Even though most people on the Teyvat Forum couldn't even clearly see the Xianzhou's combat, the reduction in the number of Abundance Spirits was undeniable.
And with Diviner Fu Xuan's formation protecting them, the number of Cloud Knights participating in the battle had not decreased.
Therefore, the Tivat People did not believe that the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus could turn the tide.
Hu Tao, Keqing, and others watching from a distance felt the same way.
"It seems this battle will end soon."
"Perhaps, we don't need to be that so-called surprise force after all."
Hu Tao said, gazing at the distant battlefield.
"The battle is not over yet, anything can happen."
"When you have the advantage, that's when you must be most vigilant."
"Moreover, that Dan Shu has not appeared yet."
Morax said.
"Rex Lapis is right."
Xiao nodded.
Thinking of the transformation form of Dan Shu he had seen through the forum before, Xiao felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
Although he hadn't faced Dan Shu's transformation form directly like Neuvillette or Stelle.
The destructive power Dan Shu displayed during her transformation was enough to make Xiao vigilant.
"That's true, but the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are visibly decreasing."
"Even if that Dan Shu is strong, she can't possibly be stronger than so many Cloud Knights, right?"
Hu Tao said.
"Wait, something seems wrong.
"Neuvillette stepped forward, frowning as he looked into the distance.
"Wrong? What's wrong?"
Hu Tao turned around in confusion, raising her eyes to look towards the battlefield.
The next moment, her heart was also filled with surprise.
"What happened? What's wrong with everyone?"
Hu Tao exclaimed.At the battlefield, the Cloud Knights, who had originally held the advantage, suddenly fell into disarray.
The Alchemist, who had been at a disadvantage, actually began to gradually turn the situation around.
"It's mist. The mist emanating from the Abundance Spirits killed by the Cloud Knights has been inhaled by the Cloud Knights."
"This mist is causing some Cloud Knights to fall into a state of weakness and inability to fight."
Morax said with a frown.
His strength was greater, so he naturally saw the situation before him more clearly than those around him.
The Cloud Knights closer to the slain Abundance Spirits seemed to be affected more.
"That appearance... could it be Mara-Struck?"
Xiao said.
"Could that mist have the same effect as Dragons Ascent?"
"No, it's directly causing the Cloud Knights to fall into an inability to fight."
"Perhaps in the matter of making long-life species fall into Mara-Struck, the effect of the mist might be stronger than Dragons Ascent."
Baizhu mused.Considering the madness of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, Baizhu had reason to believe that this mist was specifically prepared to guide long-life species into Mara-Struck.
It might even exclude the effect of Dragons Ascent, which could temporarily enhance the physical abilities of long-life species.
While everyone was speaking, the Cloud Knights fell into an increasingly chaotic state.
The Teyvat Passengers were surprised to find that the Cloud Knights were actually beginning to retreat.This situation seemed to confirm Baizhu's words.
"No... no way. Didn't Diviner Fu Xuan say they had medicine to resist Mara-Struck?"
"Even if that mist has the effect of guiding others into Mara-Struck."
"It shouldn't really make the Cloud Knights fall into Mara-Struck, right?"
Hu Tao looked worriedly towards the distant Cloud Knights.
Although she had only been on the Xianzhou for a short time, this did not prevent Hu Tao from choosing to side with the Xianzhou between the Xianzhou and the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
[Dehya: Yes, the Cloud Knights have medicine! That's a prescription that came from Luo Feng's hands.
It can't possibly lose its effect at a time like this.]
[Gorou: Could it be that, as Dr. Baizhu said, this mist is an improved version of Dragons Ascent, and Lord Luo Feng's prescription is no longer effective?]
[La Signora: How could that be? That's a prescription given by Luo Feng.Rather than doubting Luo Feng's prescription,
it's better to doubt whether the Xianzhou followed the prescription to make the medicine.]
[Nahida: Perhaps the medicine in Diviner Fu Xuan's hands is actually effective.Without that medicine, the Cloud Knights' losses would probably be even greater.]
[Cloud Retainer: Lesser Lord Kusanali makes sense. Although the Cloud Knights are retreating, their retreat is orderly, and there aren't many casualties.
Moreover, it's visible that the Cloud Knights who fell into chaos and weakness did not fall into Mara-Struck and attack their own people in a frenzy.]
[Cloud Retainer: If they had attacked their own people, the Cloud Knights' retreat would not have been so easy.
The people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus also would not have chosen not to pursue.]
[Kaeya: In the end, would this war actually develop into such a result? We still can't underestimate the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.]
[Wriothesley: Indeed, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's Alchemist combined with those Abundance Spirits, their combat power is already strong enough.
Now they also have this poisonous mist trick; they are indeed quite dangerous and cunning.]
[Gorou: It's hard to imagine what kind of result would occur if those Cloud Knights really went mad and attacked their comrades around them.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: If comrades who have been together day and night suddenly pick up weapons and attack their own people,
This is enough to disrupt the morale of the entire army, and the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus would never miss such an opportunity.]
[Diluc: The people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus did not continue the pursuit,
probably because they discovered that many Cloud Knights had fallen into an inability to fight,
but had not fallen into Mara-Struck and attacked those around them.]
......
"Wait, isn't that Miss Yukong?"
"Did she get hit too?"
Hu Tao watched in surprise as Yukong, who was in the center of the battlefield, suddenly fell from the sky, clutching her forehead.I
t seemed because Yukong had fallen into confusion, the Cloud Knights' retreat became even faster.
Hu Tao couldn't help but look worriedly at Tingyun beside her, who had slightly furrowed her brows and seemed very concerned about Yukong.
However, only Tingyun herself knew that while she was indeed worried about Yukong, the direction of her worry was completely opposite to what Hu Tao and the others thought.
If you die too easily, that would be too much of a pity.Tingyun murmured in her heart
.......
"Has the situation become a bit bad now?"
"Uncle Yang, what should we do? Should we go help?"
March 7th looked at Welt Yang beside her and asked.
"Although the Cloud Knights are retreating, their retreat is orderly."
"And not a single person has truly fallen into the Mara-Struck state."
"We have the duty of being a surprise force, so at this time, it's best we wait and see."
Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and said.
"Indeed, Luo Feng's prescription will definitely not be without effect."
"The fact that no Cloud Knight has truly fallen into the Mara-Struck state is proof."
Morax said.
"So that's how it is. Miss Tingyun, don't worry, Miss Yukong will definitely be fine."
Hu Tao looked at Tingyun and said.
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved."
Tingyun nodded slightly, feeling happy that Yukong would be alright for now.
After all, she was still looking forward to personally 'hosting' Yukong later.
On the other hand, Tingyun was also full of curiosity about the fact that the prescription Luo Feng created could resist the mist developed by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
That Luo Feng, he seems to possess a bit too many abilities.
Tingyun thought in her heart.As a participant in the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus plan, she knew that Dan Shu intended to suppress the Cloud Knights using mist that could induce the Mara-Struck state.
She even placed medicinal ingredients capable of releasing a large amount of mist that induces the Mara-Struck state inside the giant alchemical furnace on the essential path leading to the deepest part of the Alchemy Commission.
But now, the Cloud Knights haven't experienced a large number of incidents of falling into the Mara-Struck state as planned.
Tingyun was even worried if the Cloud Knights would directly pursue Dan Shu by going through the poisonous mist in the alchemical furnace later.
Although she didn't care about Dan Shu's life or death, Tingyun would also be displeased if the plan deviated so easily.
"How about we go and meet up with Diviner Fu Xuan first?"
"Perhaps there will be a place where we are needed later."
Keqing said.The main force of the Cloud Knights didn't achieve victory on the front lines, so Keqing felt it was time for their surprise force to step in.
"Mhm mhm, let's still go meet Diviner Fu Xuan."
"This mist from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus is too strange."
"Even if we take the medicinal pills Diviner Fu Xuan gave us earlier, we can't guarantee there's no risk, right?"
March 7th said, glancing at Mr. Neuvillette, Yae Miko, Morax, and the others.
"Ah, if only I also had one of Luo Feng's cards containing the power of Remembrance."
"His cards can definitely withstand the erosion of that strange mist."
March 7th sighed.
"You don't need to be too anxious about this, little March."
Welt Yang pushed up his glasses and analyzed very rationally:
" Luo Feng will give the cards containing the power of Remembrance to Mr. Neuvillette, Miss Yae Miko, and others."
"He will even remind Miss Fu Xuan in advance to have the Cloud Knights take medicine that can suppress the Mara-Struck state before the battle begins."
"It's clear that he had already anticipated the current situation from the very beginning."
"Since he didn't give the cards to people like you and me, it must be because short-lived species like us won't fall into the Mara-Struck state."
Morax nodded in agreement and said:
"According to what Miss Fu Xuan said, the Mara-Struck state is related to a person's emotional threshold."
"For long-lived species who have lived for too long, their emotional threshold has more or less significantly increased."
"Even for Cloud Knights who are only two or three hundred years old, which is still considered young for long-lived species, this is the case."
"Therefore, they need to use medicine that can suppress the poisonous mist developed by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus that can induce the Mara-Struck state."
"But for short-lived species who have only lived for twenty or thirty years, their emotional threshold likely hasn't even reached the minimum standard for the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist to have an effect."
"Therefore, as short-lived species, you don't have to worry about the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist affecting you."
Yae Miko's lips curved upwards as she said with a light chuckle:
"Furthermore, as short-lived species, it's probably hard to say you've gone through many sad and painful experiences."
"With an emotional threshold that hasn't reached a sufficient level, and without having gone through much grief-stricken experience."
"It's naturally very difficult for short-lived species to fall into the Mara-Struck state."
[Arataki Itto: Hearing this, I always feel like the hard requirement for falling into the Mara-Struck state isn't being a long-lived species,
but rather having an emotional threshold that's high enough, and a sufficient amount of painful memories?]
[Kuki Shinobu: Idiot boss, the prerequisite for the emotional threshold to be raised to a sufficient level is sufficient age.
In other words, being a long-lived species is the prerequisite for falling into the Mara-Struck state.]
[Paimon: So that's how it is. Now I finally understand.]
[Traveler: I always feel like if I go to the Xianzhou and get hit by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's trick, I might also fall into the Mara-Struck state.]
[Paimon: Ah?! Traveler, are you usually in a lot of pain?]
[Prince:???]
[Alice: It seems the Traveler isn't as relaxed and carefree as it appears on the surface.]
[Traveler: I... I'm fine. I was just saying that. It's not certain if the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist would actually affect me. *Half*]
Although the Traveler has lived for many years, it feels its mindset is still quite young.
Even though it experienced separation from its brother, at least it knows its brother is still alive.Therefore, the painful experiences didn't leave much weight in its heart.
.......
Chapter 344 Teyvat: Welt Should Have a Method to Prevent Himself From Falling Into the Mara-Struck State
"Phew, hearing you all say that, my heart instantly feels much lighter."
"Now I'm not afraid of this poisonous mist anymore."
"Uncle Yang, it should be time for us, this surprise force, to show what we can do now, right?"
March 7th said with a smile.
"The Cloud Knights have temporarily retreated, so it's rightfully our time to enter the field now."
"However, let's still greet Miss Fu Xuan first."
"Perhaps she will give us some instructions."
Welt Yang said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go now."
"We can also check on the condition of Miss Fu Xuan, Miss Yukong, and the others."
March 7th said.
She still clearly remembered the scene of Yukong, who was charging at the very front of the battlefield earlier, being affected by the poisonous mist.
Hearing this, Welt Yang, Morax, Neuvillette, and the others did not refuse March 7th's suggestion,
After confirming that the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus hadn't discovered their tracks, the group quickly headed towards where the Cloud Knights had retreated.
[Traveler: As for Fu Xuan, she feels quite young, and since she's in the rear, she probably won't be affected by the poisonous mist, right?]
[Traveler: Speaking of which, General Jing Yuan of the Xianzhou Luofu is old enough, right?
He should have also experienced many things, but he doesn't show any signs of falling into the Mara-Struck state.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Perhaps this is related to General Jing Yuan's skill at self-adjustment, maintaining a good state of mind.]
[Wriothesley: If one has a good enough mindset, the increase in emotional threshold won't be too fast, and painful memories won't affect them too much.]
[Tartaglia: Is there a possibility that General Jing Yuan has never actually experienced any painful events? Even though he has lived for many years.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: As a General of the Cloud Knights, General Jing Yuan must have witnessed much life and death.
And he doesn't seem like a cold and heartless person, so it's unlikely that he hasn't experienced painful events.]
[Servant: Indeed! Jing Yuan should have his own methods for adjusting his emotions, but even so,the years should have left their mark on his heart.
If he were affected by the poisonous mist of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, he would likely be impacted.]
[Kujou Sara: If the General of the Starcruiser were to fall Mara-Struck because of this, Xianzhou Luofu would probably experience a considerable catastrophe.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Thinking about it this way, the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus feels increasingly terrifying .]
[Dr.: There are indeed more and more methods of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus worth exploring.
If I could master the method of creating this poisonous mist, hehe...]
[Cloud Retainer: Hmm? You wouldn't be thinking of using the poisonous mist of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus against the long-life species of Teyvat, Dr.?]
[Andrius: The long-life species of Teyvat are already troubled by erosion. I
f they were also affected by this kind of poisonous mist,their fate would probably be no less severe than when Dvalin was affected by the whispers of the Abyss Mage before.]
[Apep: Dr., do you want to bring more Forbidden Knowledge to the Teyvat Continent?]
[Dr.: As a researcher, I don't deny that. Speaking of which, if I figure out the poisonous mist of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, are you interested in cooperating with my research, Apep?]
[Apep: You bastard, don't let me find you!!!]
Thinking of the experience where he was almost assimilated by the Power of the Path of The Propagation from the Dr. last time, the Apep's heart ached with hatred.
That extremely corrosive power was already troublesome enough for the living beings on the Teyvat Continent, and for Him.
If the Dr. truly mastered the poisonous mist of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, which has a terrifying effect on long-life species, it would undoubtedly increase the Dr.'s terrifying nature.I
ndeed, no matter what, the Dr. must be eliminated.
The Apep looked at the Dr.'s message on the forum and once again strengthened his resolve to find the Dr.
If it weren't for His body being too large, causing too many impacts by moving freely on the Teyvat Continent,
and potentially making the many nations of the Teyvat Continent nervous, He would have already left the Desert and be on His way to seek revenge on the Dr.
Forget it, let's still trust the power of Lesser Lord Kusanali.
Hopefully, she can find the Dr. soon.
The Apep glanced at Candace, who was watching Him from afar at this moment, and let out a long sigh.
Afterward, He calmed the emotions in His heart, allowing His body to return to tranquility.
Seeing this, Candace also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the incident where the Apep descended upon Aaru Village last time, she was truly worried that the Apep would come again one day,
causing the newly recovered Aaru Village to be destroyed again.
Therefore, Candace now comes to the Apep's location to observe the Apep's situation every so often.
The Apep knew He was in the wrong last time, and He also knew that Candace was now Luo Feng's employee,
so He didn't pay too much attention, even though Candace was a descendant of King Deshret.
"It's time to go back and prepare for the next trip to the Universe."
Candace murmured to herself, turning around and walking back in the direction she came from.
At the same time, her gaze once again fell on the forum panel in front of her.
[Candace: Dr., you've also lived for quite some years, haven't you?
Be careful not to fall Mara-Struck yourself while researching that kind of poisonous mist.]
[Dr.: Any research has risks. If I am indeed affected by researching the poisonous mist of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus,
then it's because my skills are insufficient, and I deserve it. Of course, I don't think I will fail.]
[Dr.: By the way, Ms. Candace, as the Navigator of the Astral Express currently docked in Sumeru, could you allow me to accompany you on a trip to the Starcruiser?]
[Candace: I'm afraid not. Not to mention that the Astral Express in Sumeru is the one going to the Herta Space Station.
Furthermore, whether you can get a ticket shouldn't be decided by me, but by Nahida.]
[Dr.: What a shame, it seems I still have to go to Xianzhou Luofu via the Astral Express that will be stationed in Liyue.]
[Cloud Retainer: Want to go to Xianzhou Luofu via the Astral Express in Liyue? You're thinking too optimistically, Dr.]
[Dr.: Don't say that, True Monarch, after all, we were once companions who traveled to the Herta Space Station together.]
[Cloud Retainer: Do not refer to this immortal with the word "companion"; it only makes this immortal feel disgusted.]
[Dr.: What a pity, I originally thought that as fellow workers in the field of research, True Monarch wouldn't dislike me as much as ordinary people.]
[La Signora: Everyone dislikes you so much, I think you should know why, Dr.]
[Lisa: On this point alone, I have to agree with La Signora.]
[Dr.: How regrettable.]
...
"Too detestable, truly too detestable."
"Those people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus actually used insidious and cunning methods."
Guinaifen followed the footsteps of the Alchemist from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, with the words 'angry' almost written directly on her face.
Because of Luo Feng's power that could hide even sound,Guinaifen wasn't worried about her voice and appearance being seen by the people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
"Clearly the Cloud Knights had the advantage, but these Alchemist actually released poisonous gas directly!"
"Is there any morality at all, even playing chemical warfare?"
"Don't you think so, Luo Feng?"
Guinaifen raised her head and asked Luo Feng.
"To some extent, they are indeed not very moral."
Luo Feng said.
Are you kidding?
Can you expect people who would extract marrow from living Vidyadhara bodies for alchemy to have morals?
"Fortunately, Luo Feng, you reminded Diviner Fu Xuan in advance."
"Not a single person fell Mara-Struck because of the Alchemist from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
Guinaifen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief at this point.
Guinaifen: "Right, Luo Feng, are we going to follow them all the way back to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's base?"
Luo Feng: "Probably."
Luo Feng said, looking back at the three huge alchemy furnaces, over a hundred meters tall, that he and Guinaifen had left far behind.
These iconic structures, coupled with the discussions of the Alchemist along the way, were enough for Luo Feng to confirm that this was the [Yunxia Purple Mansion] from the game.
In the game, the three alchemy furnaces in Yunxia Purple Mansion would release a large amount of smoke capable of inducing the long-life species of the Xianzhou to fall Mara-Struck.
It was for this reason that Yunxia Purple Mansion became a strategic dead end that Fu Xuan could not cross.
Ultimately, she had to ask Welt Yang and others, who were Trailblazer, for help to stop the operation of the giant alchemy furnaces so that the smoke could dissipate.
And after passing through Yunxia Purple Mansion, the path would likely lead to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's base.
"If that's the case, should we just take out their base in one go?"
Guinaifen said, making a gesture of cutting her throat.
"Alright, once we reach the location, you can directly charge out from my invisibility barrier and take down the leader of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."
"I can be responsible for filming your heroic figure and broadcasting it afterward."
"I've even thought of the video title: 'Guinaifen Single-Handedly Forms an Army and Solo Kills the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus Leader'."
"Hmm, this video will definitely go viral and surely double your fans."
"Not only that, you will definitely receive commendations from the higher-ups of Xianzhou Luofu."
"Maybe you can even use this achievement to get the higher-ups of the Xianzhou to release your older brother, who robbed the Xianzhou, early."
Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Don't... don't joke, Luo Feng."
"How could I possibly have the ability to handle such a benefit?"
Guinaifen said, shaking her head.
Although she was somewhat tempted by the idea of getting the Xianzhou to release her brother early, she also knew her own capabilities.
She could perform acrobatics without fear, and she could handle fighting a few thugs.
But asking her to go into battle and even go head-to-head with an enemy boss.
That was definitely outside her ability range.
"Then there's no other way. Since you won't go, we can only wait for Fu Xuan and the others, as well as my passengers, to go themselves."
"Don't count on me. If I make a move, my passengers won't be able to get any training."
"All I can do is not stop you from charging out."
Luo Feng said, spreading his hands.
"Ugh, why is it like this."
Guinaifen pouted and said.
"Are you looking down on me?"
"If that's the case, how about I send you back now?"
"Hand over the phone you're recording material with too."
Luo Feng said, reaching out towards the screen Guinaifen was holding and recording.
"No, no, no, I won't say anything then."
"This is material I went through a lot of trouble to record."
"Many fans are looking forward to seeing this content."
Guinaifen, in a moment of excitement, immediately put her phone between her breasts, as if that could stop Luo Feng.
Unfortunately, Guinaifen ultimately underestimated Luo Feng.
Luo Feng flicked his finger, and a golden chip, a bonus from getting Aventurine's template, flew towards Guinaifen's chest, hitting the phone screen she was holding.
As the chip collided with the phone, both flew out from Guinaifen under a skillful force, landing perfectly in Luo Feng's outstretched right hand.
"It's still warm."
Luo Feng touched the phone's surface and commented sharply.
Guinaifen's face immediately turned red, but thinking of the importance of her phone, she still lunged towards Luo Feng.
"No, please give it back, Luo Feng."
Guinaifen exclaimed, hanging directly onto Luo Feng's right forearm.
"Hehe, now you know how to be nervous."
Luo Feng didn't actually intend to forbid Guinaifen from filming; after making a joke, he returned the phone to Guinaifen's embrace.
Then, he looked up towards Dan Shu, who was visible not far away.
"Let's go, let's see their boss."
"If you can also film the boss of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus with your phone."
"It should be more helpful for your fans to understand the whole story."
Luo Feng said, immediately accelerating with Guinaifen, leaping towards Dan Shu's location.
Guinaifen, who was shy because of Luo Feng's action of returning the phone, quickly hugged Luo Feng's arm tightly, afraid of falling out of Luo Feng's invisibility barrier.
Seriously, Luo Feng couldn't have done that on purpose, could he?
Guinaifen's front was pressed tightly against Luo Feng's waist, and she thought with pursed lips.
.........
"Lord, something is wrong."
"After we used the mist you configured, the Cloud Knights were affected."
"But not a single one of them became Mara-Struck."
A Alchemist who had participated in the battle quickly came to Dan Shu's side and reported the situation on the battlefield to Dan Shu.
"Not a single one became Mara-Struck, are you sure?"
Dan Shu frowned tightly, looking seriously at the Alchemist reporting to her.
"It's true, it's not just me, everyone saw it."
"If that weren't the case, we wouldn't have just watched them retreat without daring to pursue."
The Alchemist said, feeling aggrieved.
"Not a single one became Mara-Struck?"
"How could this be?"
"This shouldn't happen."
Dan Shu said, frowning tightly.
.........
Chapter 345: Yukong Regrets Her Attitude Towards Luo Feng, Tingyun Looks "Kind" Towards Yukong
"It's true, Dan Shu."
"I swear to Yaoshi the Benevolent, I am absolutely not lying!"
But he raised his hand, saying to Dan Shu with a solemn expression.
After being chased by the Cloud Knights for so long, it was impossible not to feel annoyed.
Now that the decisive battle had arrived, he had originally wanted to take the opportunity to teach the Cloud Knights a good lesson and kill enough of them to make it worthwhile.
But in reality, the Cloud Knights were experts in combat after all, while they, the Alchemist, were not skilled in fighting.
Even with the spirit beasts they had cultivated, it was still difficult to fight against the well-coordinated Cloud Knights.
They had originally thought that after they released the poisonous mist, the tide of battle would turn.
However, the tide of battle did turn, but not in the direction they had hoped for~.
Although some Cloud Knights who inhaled the poisonous mist fell into a weakened state, they quickly reacted and retreated without a single one becoming Mara-Struck.
The well-trained Cloud Knights were remarkably coordinated even when retreating.
This left the people of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus unable to find any opening.
This was also one of the reasons why they ultimately had no choice but to retreat.
"How could this be!"
After hearing her trusted subordinate speak so seriously, Dan Shu also had no choice but to start believing.
However, deep down, she was quite puzzled.
One must know that this poisonous mist was something she had meticulously researched, and its effect in inducing Mara-Struck was far superior to Dragons Ascent.
But now, the poisonous mist had not taken effect, which truly left Dan Shu completely bewildered.
"Right, Lord, I suddenly remembered something."
"When the Cloud Knights were retreating earlier, some of them seemed to be saying how fortunate they were to have taken medicine before the battle."
"See, isn't it related to this matter?"
The Alchemist asked.
"Taken medicine?" Dan Shu's eyes immediately widened:
"Could it be that they have developed medicine that can suppress the poisonous mist?"
"But how could that be? They shouldn't have such ability."
"Wait, could it be Bai?"
At this moment, Dan Shu finally remembered Bai Lu, whom she had ignored for some time.
Remembering Bai Lu now, she realized that lately, Bai Lu had frequently been going to the Seat of Divine Foresight and had met with Jing Yuan quite a few times.
Furthermore, Bai Lu seemed to be researching some kind of medicine.
Although she had previously instructed the Alchemist of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus to inquire with Bai Lu, Bai Lu had merely brushed them off casually.
At that time, Dan Shu hadn't paid much attention because she was busy with matters concerning the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
Thinking carefully now, she realized that Bai Lu was very likely connected to this matter.
"Damn it, if only I had paid more attention to Bai Lu at the time."
Dan Shu covered her aching forehead, feeling very displeased.
"Bai Lu, the Dragon Lord?"
"Wait, if she really has such an ability."
"Then wouldn't it mean that even if we follow the plan and have the Yunxia Purple Mansion release the smoke that induces Mara-Struck."
"It still wouldn't have much effect on the Cloud Knights?"
"Couldn't some young Cloud Knights who haven't experienced much suffering push through the smoke released from the cauldron and come here?"
The Alchemist said, worriedly.Hearing this, Dan Shu also frowned.
Although she had already made preparations for a decisive battle with the Cloud Knights representing the Seat of Divine Foresight of the Xianzhou deep within the Alchemy Commission.
But this still required time; she needed to wait for Lord Ravager Phantylia, the Lord Ravager, to fulfill her promise.
If the Cloud Knights arrived too quickly, it would obviously create unfavorable factors for the plan.
"Quick, get the Yunxia Purple Mansion's cauldron working now."
"Furthermore, add more medicinal powder to the cauldron."
This way, even if the Cloud Knights truly have means to resist us.
They will still be affected more within the Yunxia Purple Mansion.Dan Shu waved her hand and said.
"Yes, I will go and do it, Lord."
The Alchemist nodded, turned around, and walked quickly back the way he came.Guinaifen, who had witnessed this scene firsthand, was stunned speechless.
"Those three alchemy furnaces we passed earlier will also emit that strange poisonous mist?"
"And they still want to add more medicinal powder?"
"This is simply too terrible for the Cloud Knights."
Guinaifen muttered to herself, raising her head to look at Luo Feng.
"Luo Feng, even if we don't intervene, shouldn't we inform the Cloud Knights about the situation here?"
"Doing this shouldn't affect your training of your passengers too much, right?"
Guinaifen looked at Luo Feng with expectant eyes and said.
"Hmm..."
Luo Feng rested his chin on one hand and nodded:
"Alright, then you figure out a way to inform the Cloud Knights."
"Although I don't think adding a bit more medicinal powder to the alchemy furnaces will be useful."
In the original game's storyline, Fu Xuan had Welt Yang and others, who were short-lived species, act first to shut down the alchemy furnaces in the Yunxia Purple Mansion.
Although the trajectory of this world now has many differences from the game.
But Luo Feng did not think Fu Xuan would choose to directly breach the Yunxia Purple Mansion; she should still entrust Welt Yang and others to act first, just like in the game.
Of course, now, Keqing, Ningguang, and others would also be included in this.
"Huh? Let me inform the Cloud Knights?"
Guinaifen was surprised.
"Isn't this quite good, Guinaifen."
"Think about it, if you inform the Cloud Knights about the situation here."
"To a certain extent, this could be considered a great service you've rendered, right?"
"Perhaps doing this will lead the Cloud Knights to reduce your elder brother's sentence."
Luo Feng smiled.
"Yes! Thank you, Luo Feng, I'll inform Sushang about what's happening here right away."
Guinaifen's eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly operated on her phone's interface.
[Guinaifen (Guinaifen): Shang Shang, something big is happening here, quickly watch the video I sent you! Then go inform Diviner Fu Xuan, oh right, you can contact her, right?]
[Phoenix Manifestation (Sushang): What big thing?]
[Phoenix Manifestation (Sushang): Wait, what is this? Why are you near the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's criminals? Quickly leave those guys, they are very dangerous!]
[Guinaifen (Sushang): Don't worry, I'm very safe, Luo Feng is with me, we're currently invisible.]
Luo Feng placed his hand on Guinaifen's head and patted it, then turned his head to look at Dan Shu's anxious expression.
What a pity.Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
The fact that Dan Shu could become an Elder of the Alchemy Commission despite being blind is proof of her unquestionable ability.
Yet such a person walked a path opposed to the Seat of Divine Foresight, and her hands were stained with the blood of too many innocent people.
And the result of doing so could only lead her down a path of no return.
Luo Feng shook his head, no longer paying attention to Dan Shu.
He pulled Guinaifen to a nearby spot to sit down, quietly waiting for March 7th, Ningguang, and the others to arrive.
...
Xianzhou Luofu
.Alchemy Commission, Cloud Knights' temporary encampment.
"Yukong, are you alright?"
Fu Xuan entered the injured soldiers' tent and found Yukong, who was clutching her forehead and looking like she had a headache.
"I'm... I'm alright, I should recover in a little while."
Yukong said through clenched teeth.
"That's good."
Fu Xuan nodded.
She was genuinely worried about Yukong's physical condition.
Although the years Yukong had lived were not long, that was relative to the Xianzhou natives.
Calculated by the age of the Fox race, she was already considered an elder.
Moreover, Fu Xuan knew that Yukong had only transferred to a civil position after experiencing suffering that was difficult for ordinary people to imagine.
It was no exaggeration to say that Yukong was one of the people most likely to be affected by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist."
Fu Xuan, what are the Cloud Knights' casualties like?"
"Has anyone fallen into the Mara-Struck state because of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist?"
Yukong exhaled and asked Fu Xuan.
"Although some among the Cloud Knights were affected by the poisonous mist and fell into a weakened state."
"But in reality, no one has directly fallen into the Mara-Struck state."
"Fortunately, thanks to Luo Feng's reminder, if we hadn't taken the medicinal pills that suppress the effects of Dragons Ascent beforehand, the outcome would likely have been unpredictable."
Fu Xuan's words were full of gratitude towards Luo Feng.
Just thinking about the potential casualties the Cloud Knights might have suffered without Luo Feng's reminder made Fu Xuan feel a wave of lingering fear.
This was her first time leading the army in place of Jing Yuan.
If she allowed the Cloud Knights to suffer heavy casualties on her first time,
how could she succeed Jing Yuan as the next General of the Xianzhou Luofu afterwards?
"Luo Feng..."
Yukong fell silent.
She had originally held a certain opinion about Luo Feng, especially since Luo Feng had told her that Tingyun would meet with misfortune,
Yet in reality, Tingyun was currently standing on the Xianzhou Luofu, with no sign of any misfortune whatsoever.
However, now Luo Feng had indeed helped the Xianzhou, and helped the Cloud Knights.
At the same time, he also helped her, preventing her from falling into the Mara-Struck state due to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus's poisonous mist.
Both emotionally and logically, she should not hold such a strong opinion against Luo Feng.
Involuntarily, she felt regret for the words she had spoken to Luo Feng earlier at the Artificers Workshop.
Forget it, the next time she saw him, she would apologize to him.
As Yukong was thinking, a very anxious figure rushed in.
"Grand Astrologer, I have something important to report, wait, can you guys stop pulling me?"
The newcomer said this while trying to break free from the Cloud Knights behind her who were trying to pull her away.
"Stop messing around, this is a military camp, can you new recruits have some discipline?"
"Your workplace shouldn't be here, right?"
The Cloud Knight said.
"You are Sushang, right? I remember you."
"Alright, let her stay."
Fu Xuan looked at Sushang, then turned to the Cloud Knight and said.
Sushang was someone who had boarded Luo Feng's Astral Express; naturally, Fu Xuan could afford to be a bit more patient with her.
"I remember you're Sushang, a new recruit of the Celestial Float's Cloud Knights, what are you doing here?"
After the Cloud Knight left, Yukong propped herself up and asked Sushang with confusion.
"Lord Yukong is here too."
"Oh right, Grand Astrologer, Lord Yukong, please take a look at this."
Sushang wiped away the sweat on her forehead from rushing, quickly walked up to Fu Xuan and Yukong, and showed them the video Guinaifen had sent.
As the video played, Fu Xuan's brow furrowed tighter, as did Yukong's, who was not far away.
......
"Those people from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus actually plan to set up formations in the Yunxia Purple Mansion."
"If they add powders to the cauldrons in the Yunxia Purple Mansion that can intensify the poisonous mist..."
"Even if the pills we took still work and prevent us from falling into the Mara-Struck state..."
"It will definitely affect our ability to fight the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus normally."
"At that time, casualties will be unavoidable."
Yukong looked at Fu Xuan with a grim expression.
"It's fine; I've already made arrangements for this."
After witnessing the methods of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus on the previous battlefield, Fu Xuan had roughly guessed what their next move would be.
It could be said that Dan Shu's arrangements in the video were not far off from her guess.
And she had already prepared to have the surprise troops arranged by Jing Yuan, namely Keqing, Xiao, and Xing, take action.Therefore, she was not as anxious as Yukong was now.
After Fu Xuan told Yukong her plan, Yukong had no choice but to nod.
"To think that we would ultimately need to rely on their strength."
Yukong sighed, expressing her emotion.
Thinking of the words she had said at the Artificers Workshop to Neuvillette, Morax, and others about not needing their help, Yukong felt deeply ashamed.
"Speaking of which, where did you get this video?"
Yukong took a deep breath and looked at Sushang, puzzled."
Oh, this was sent by my best friend, Guinaifen."
"Don't worry about her; she's wrapped in Luo Feng's invisibility barrier, so those people won't find her easily."
Sushang said with a smile.
"Luo Feng? Invisibility barrier?"
"That man actually possesses such a method."
"Indeed, I should apologize to him later."
Thinking of her previous negative attitude towards Luo Feng and his current help, Yukong sighed again.
"After the war ends, let's go thank Luo Feng together."
"As for now, let's finalize the combat arrangements."
Fu Xuan said, looking towards the entrance of the tent.
There, Welt Yang, Neuvillette, Tingyun, and others were opening the tent and stepping inside.
Yukong also noticed the arrivals.
When she saw Tingyun with a look of 'concern', a smile appeared on Yukong's face, and she felt her headache symptoms lighten a bit.
"Lord Yukong, are you alright?"
Tingyun quickly came before Yukong, looking worried.
"Don't worry, Tingyun."
"I'm in pretty good shape."
Yukong said with a smile.
Although her head was still hurting a bit, she didn't want Tingyun to worry.
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved."
Tingyun's lips curled up, her face benevolent.
