"Wait a minute, it should be about time."

Kafka glanced at the Jianmu tree not far away and said softly.

"What do you mean, 'almost'?" Xing, who had been chatting with Kafka for so long, suddenly realized something was wrong. She frowned and followed Kafka's gaze to the fertile Jianmu tree not far away...

As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous, disc-shaped Jianmu tree, with roots hundreds of meters wide, burst forth with countless vitalitys. The entire Luofu Immortal Ship seemed to tremble, and even Taibu Si swayed along with the rising and rooted Jianmu tree!

This enormous upheaval alarmed many citizens of the Celestial Ship. They instinctively contemplated the distant, towering Jianmu tree and exclaimed, "What's going on?!"

"What exactly happened?"

Panic began to spread among the crowd, and countless mysterious and abundant runes gradually emerged one after another, extremely eerie!

Xing stared at the scene in disbelief, her feelings incredibly complex.

Just as she was lost in thought, the radiant shackles on Kafka's hands suddenly disappeared, and she took a step and walked towards the edge of the Qiong Guan Formation.

Xing only realized what was happening at this moment. She hurriedly turned around, seemingly trying to stop Kafka, but a blood-red blade suddenly blocked her way.

A tall figure stood in front of Kafka.

That's right, he is the second Star Core Hunter, and also a wanted criminal on the Immortal Ship, Blade.

Before Lao Yang and the others could even notice, Kafka and Ren jumped down from the Great Evolution Qiong Guan Formation at the same time, and thanks to Silver Wolf's Ether Editing, they were teleported to an unknown location.

"Huh? Kafka ran away? Damn it, how am I going to explain this to that diviner now!"

On March 7th, he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Xing shook her head: "If she's not lying to me, we shouldn't have to explain anything."

Seeing this, March 7th covered her mouth, staring at her in shock: "Hey, you haven't been brainwashed by her, have you?"

Xing and March 7th gazed at the towering Jianmu tree not far away, their faces contorted with worry, as they prepared to head towards General Jingyuan and Fu Taibu.

"Is this the half-dead tree that Qingque showed us? How did it grow back?"

Walter gripped his cane tightly, his eyes solemn.

Xing didn't speak, but simply nodded and prepared to continue forward, and just then...

Tingyun's voice suddenly rang out: "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! I'm so lucky! Very few immortal beings can witness such a spectacle in their entire lives!"

"What are you doing here?" Xing frowned. "Didn't you return to the Sky Ship Bureau after arresting Kafka?"

Upon hearing this, Tingyun smiled helplessly and said, "The Grand Divination Bureau has encountered such a huge mess this time. The Star Core monster is coming on strong, so our Heavenly Ship Bureau sent reinforcements."

March 7th, standing to the side, also became a little wary: "Didn't you say you can't fight, but can only lead the way?"

Upon hearing this, Tingyun sighed: "Miss March 7, does helping someone necessarily require fighting? Organizing documents, transporting refugees, and maintaining order are all things that the ferryman can do."

“In that case, Miss Tingyun, please take us to the main hall of the Grand Diviner’s Office. We need to find Jingyuan and the Grand Diviner as soon as possible, give them detailed information, and formulate a plan.”

Walter said calmly.

Tingyun nodded: "That's natural."

...

"Unless Kafka deceived Qiong Guanzhen."

"Don't panic, Fu Qing. Trust that Qiong Guanzhen doesn't lie. The logic you described about the Kafka paper is very reliable. It will add a piece to my puzzle."

“I know that Luofu must have external enemies, because the star core cannot appear out of thin air. Someone must have used some means to mix it into the immortal ship. As for the internal troubles of Luofu, they must be the reclusive organization that claims to be the people of abundance: the Secret Transmission of the Medicine King.”

"The Medicine King's Secret Sect has been so active lately, first the Bureau of Works, then the Great Evolution Qiong Guan Formation, and finally the capture of Yan Qing... These events are enough to prove that their operation was premeditated."

Inside the main hall, the holographic image of Jing Yuan discusses the incident with Fu Taibu.

"You... General, when did you come up with this idea?"

Fu Xuan suddenly realized and blurted out, "You! General...when did you think of this?"

"When the star core emerged, the immortal ship was deceived by the Emperor Bow Master. If it weren't for the intervention of another Star God Envoy, how could it have infiltrated Luofu without my knowledge? Therefore, there must be an external enemy."

"The star core is eroding everywhere, but it has bypassed the two key secrets of the Divine Strategy Mansion and the Prison of Imprisonment. It is clear that there is another purpose behind it. The enemy is planning this so that they must have obtained internal intelligence of Luofu. Therefore, internal troubles are about to emerge. It is not difficult to understand these two points."

“The Star Core Hunter is not the mastermind. I understood that when I saw that guy, but I still can’t find the piece of the puzzle: why he came and why he attracted the Star Train.”

"The news brought by Fu Qing has put this puzzle together -- haha, the Star Core Hunter is indeed interesting. After going through such a long detour, the purpose was actually to connect the Immortal Ship and the Train. Who could have imagined that?"

Jing spoke eloquently.

"General, let's not dawdle now, look at Jianmu..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan laughed again: "No need to bother searching, that's a star core. The traitor threw it into the cave where Jianmu is located, causing Jianmu to grow a bit more. It's a secret technique of the Medicine King. He finally couldn't resist taking action."

“A crisis can also be an opportunity. Since that’s the case, everything is much easier now.” Fu Xuan crossed his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Yuan, on the other hand, looked at Fu Xuan meaningfully, with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."

Fu Xuan was taken aback: "Again...again you need my advice?"

Jing Yuan nodded: "Yes, I knew it. Fu Qing would definitely have a way."

Fu Xuan frowned and pondered seriously: "In my opinion, the most important task at present is to summon the Cloud Cavalry, rush to the cave where Jianmu exists, and then remove the evil spirit in the star core to stop its rebirth."
