“This disappearance of the Chiming tribe occurs every few years! And it’s not just one Chiming tribe member that’s missing. Why have you never investigated this? Are you the murderer’s protector?”

Fu Xuan questioned Jing Yuan angrily.

“It’s neither yes nor no, and it’s also yes…”

Jing Yuan replied unmoved.

“I’m being riddled! Whatever you say is yes or no, it’s also yes! Tell me the truth!”

Fu Xuan scolded.

“The one who can attack the Chiming Clan so steadily must be the Dragon Master Elder of the Chiming Clan. Although the Chiming Clan lives on the Immortal Boat, they are equal to the people of our Immortal Boat. Back then, the first Dragon Master of the Chiming Clan suppressed Jianmu with the Scale Abyss Realm, and he won the respect of the Immortal Boat Alliance. As a result, the Chiming Clan gained the right to self-management.”

“We, the generals and even marshals of the immortal ships, cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Chiming clan, otherwise the Chiming clan on the other five immortal ships will not agree. After all, they are a clan, and they also have the principle of lips and teeth being cold.”

“In the past, I sent people to investigate this matter, but encountered resistance from the Chiming tribe. I think a certain Dragon Master Elder is related to this matter. If we continue to investigate, we may have a huge rift with the Chiming tribe, and Jianmu’s suppression will also be hindered. Therefore, I am forced to put this matter on hold due to the overall situation. It is not wrong to say that I am the umbrella for the murderer.”

“If General Fu wants to punish me, I will plead guilty.”

Jing Yuan revealed the secret of this past event without hesitation.

Fu Xuan was silent. Could she say that Jing Yuan was wrong in this matter?

The Immortal Boat needs to seal the Jianmu tree, the fertile evil creature that reaches the sky, and therefore needs the continued help of the Chiming tribe. If they get to the bottom of it, the dragon master elders of the Chiming tribe may simply turn against them and stop sealing Jianmu, which would bring even greater disasters.

Therefore, Jing Yuan did not continue to investigate the matter. It could only be said that it was a helpless move, and those missing members of the Chiming tribe were also regarded as necessary sacrifices.

“Since there are reasons for this, I will not punish you. But now, we have the blessing of His Majesty. If the evil creature dares to cause trouble again, we can ask him for help. The Chiming Clan’s sealing of Jianmu is no longer necessary. What do you think of this, Jingyuan?”

Fu Xuan asked.

“Thanks to the blessing of His Majesty, our immortal ship does not need the Chiming Clan to seal Jianmu again, but touching the Luofu Chiming Clan will inevitably affect the entire body, so it is best to inform the generals of the other five immortal ships about this matter, and at the same time send a letter to the Chiming Clan on the other five immortal ships to explain the matter. It would be best if the Chiming Clan on Yaoqing and other immortal ships can send people to investigate the matter.”

Jing Yuan suggested.

“Ridiculous! If we notify the Chiming people on the other five immortal boats and ask them to come over to investigate, wouldn’t that be telling the murderer to erase all traces? This matter should be investigated in secret.”

Fu Xuan slammed the table and scolded.

“Then General Fu, you must be prepared to break with the Chiming tribe. With the grace of His Majesty, even if you do this now, the Alliance will stand by you and support you, but it is unknown whether the relationship with the Chiming tribe can be repaired. Whether the lives of these dozens of Chiming tribe members are worth the cooperation with the Chiming tribe depends entirely on you, General Fu, to decide.”

Jing Yuan reminded that if Fu Xuan had not been appreciated by Mo Yin, if he had investigated the matter in this way back then, he would probably have been dismissed from his position as general. After all, he had affected the overall relationship between the Xianzhou people and the Chiming tribe, which was no small matter. The Chiming tribe was an important ally of the Xianzhou people. If an internal conflict broke out, it would be a disaster for the Xianzhou people.

“I am seeking justice for those low-ranking members of the Chiming tribe! Can’t the Chiming tribe members on the other five immortal boats understand me?”

Fu Xuan asked unhappily.

“Indeed, General Fu, you have upheld justice for the Chi Ming people, which is a good thing for them. But in essence, you have indeed interfered in the internal affairs of the Chi Ming people. This is a dangerous signal to the Dragon Lords of the Chi Ming people. It means that you want to take away their autonomy. Especially at this time, you have received the favor of His Majesty, which will make them think that you are taking advantage of the opportunity to take away their rights.”

“At the same time, since the Immortal Boat no longer needs the Chiming Clan to seal Jianmu, most of the Dragon Masters and Dragon Lords may spread the news that General Fu and the people of the Immortal Boat have crossed the river and destroyed the bridge. We cannot restrict the Chiming Clan from leaving the Immortal Boat, otherwise we will really be known as ungrateful. After this incident, the Immortal Boat Alliance’s reputation among the galaxy will probably be ruined.”

1853 Fu Xuan is under great pressure

This is not an exaggeration. If the Chiming people, who have lived together with the Xianzhou people for hundreds of years, take the initiative to publicize such things, the reputation of the Xianzhou Alliance will undoubtedly be ruined.

This is also the reason why he would have been dismissed if he had followed Fu Xuan’s method of investigation.

The reason why the Xianzhou Alliance stands on Fu Xuan’s side now is mainly because there is His Majesty behind Fu Xuan. In order not to offend Him, the Xianzhou Alliance is willing to pay any price.

“Then there’s nothing we can do about this?!”

Fu Xuan bit her lip, and for a moment she didn’t know what to do.

“If we don’t contact the Dragon Lords on the other immortal boats, there is still a way, but this depends on General Fu’s ability.”

Jingyuan suddenly spoke.

“Say it!”

Fu Xuan urged.

“The Dragon Lord Bai Lu on the Immortal Boat Luofu left the Chi Ming Clan yesterday and went with outsiders. If she, as a Dragon Lord, investigated this matter with outsiders, it would not be considered as the people of the Immortal Boat interfering in the internal affairs of the Chi Ming Clan. It is naturally reasonable for the Dragon Lord of the Chi Ming Clan to investigate the disappearance of the Chi Ming Clan, but can you ask that friend to help? Bai Lu is a Dragon Lord who has been sidelined in the Luofu Chi Ming Clan. She will not be able to find out anything if she investigates on her own.”

Jing Yuan replied.

“What do you know?”

Fu Xuan frowned and asked, “Could it be that Qingque accidentally revealed Moyin’s identity to Jingyuan?” That would be bad, after all, Moyin didn’t really want to reveal his identity, after all, he was going to ambush the Happy Star God.

“I don’t know much, but I am familiar with you, General Fu, and I know that you don’t have very close friends. I also happen to know that Qingque, whom you intend to train, was arranged to be his guide, and the judge of the Ten Kings Division did not say anything to stop him when he took Long Zun Bailu away.”

“So this matter depends on whether you, General Fu, can ask this good friend to investigate. If he finds out the whole story, and Dragon Lord Bai Lu orders the punishment of the criminal, the Ten Kings Division will certainly be able to help Dragon Lord Bai Lu. If the criminal resists this, it would be a heinous crime in the Chi Ming clan, and the Dragon Lords on the other immortal boats will not sit idly by.”

Jing Yuan opened his mouth and answered.

There must be a reason why Moyin came here hiding his identity. He certainly wouldn’t be so stupid as to come here and say that he knew Moyin’s identity. This was only something he could perceive after working with Fu Xuan for many years. People who had nothing to do with Fu Xuan certainly wouldn’t be able to perceive this.

However, asking the gods for help might be even more difficult than investigating the matter despite falling out with the Chiming tribe.

After all, the Xianzhou Alliance has followed the Hunting Star God for so many years, and Emperor Bow Siming Lan has only completely opened up the hunting destiny to them so that they can gain power from it. This is no different from Mo Yin bestowing the Blood God Stone on the Xianzhou people.

After that, the Hunting Star God never communicated with the people of the Immortal Boat. In the previous battle with the Fengrao People, the Immortal Boat people were defeated and asked the Hunting Star God for help. The Hunting Star God did provide support, but also destroyed one-fifth of the Fanghu Immortal Boat, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people on the Immortal Boat. The Hunting Star God did not show any apology.

Therefore, the people of Xianzhou can only comfort themselves by regarding it as a necessary sacrifice, because as mortals, they cannot judge the faults of the gods.

But the truth is that the gods don’t care at all what the believers who follow them think. To the gods, everyone below them is an ant, and if they die, they die.

Therefore, he felt that it might be even more difficult for Fu Xuan to ask Moyin for help, because gods are inherently moody. The fact that Fu Xuan was appreciated once did not mean that she would bother him every time to do something, let alone such a trivial matter as investigating a dozen lives. The underworld lord might have hundreds of thousands or even millions of souls returning to his underworld every day. How could he care about just a dozen lives?

“I see. I’ll try it.”

Fu Xuan nodded. She was also unsure. Moyin said that he treated her as a friend, but who knew whether Moyin would condescend to investigate such a trivial matter? After all, his target was a god-level existence like the Joyful Star God.

In fact, she still didn’t know why Moyin was so kind to her, and she couldn’t figure it out through divination.

She was also worried about what Jing Yuan was worried about… because her master died in the light arrow shot by Emperor Bow Siming, and it was even because of her advice to Jing Yuan that she asked Emperor Bow Siming for support that led to everything that happened later.

That’s right, because it was her idea to ask Emperor Gong Siming for support, she became the one who killed her master. She never thought that such a thing would happen.

The first time the master met her, he told her that she would die at her hands. She had never believed it, thinking that although divination could predict the future, it was up to people to make their own choices, and there was no need to seek death.

The master treated her very well and taught her everything he knew. She respected her master very much.

So after learning a certain amount of skills, she left the Yuque Immortal Boat, thinking that as long as she stayed away from her master, she could avoid the fate of having her master killed.

However, everything seemed like a coincidence, and she ultimately could not escape her own fate. Her advice killed her master. Only then did she understand what her master had predicted.

She wanted to become the general of Xianzhou at all costs, and also to break the future she had predicted. The divination showed that she would never be able to become the general of Xianzhou, so she wanted to replace Jing Yuan at all costs for hundreds of years.

In order to prove to her deceased master that fate can be changed, if her master had not fallen into depravity and let fate take its course, but had struggled with her, perhaps that incident could have been avoided…

She did succeed in changing her destiny.

But this is also related to the gods.

Last time, the gods made her the murderer of her master. What will happen this time?

Will I lose the lives of important people around me because of this? My parents… or something else?

She has always liked fortune-telling for everything since she was a child, but she couldn’t figure out the consequences of having too much contact with Mo Yin.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that the Hunting Star God seems to be a chess piece of fate. It can be said that he is a very powerful chess piece, but he still became a chess piece that contributed to the fate of her master. Moyin distorted her fate and made her successfully become the General of Xianzhou at a time when she should not have become the General of Xianzhou.

What will the future hold? Are the unknown things so scary?

However, she did not intend to stop. These dozen… hundreds of people from the Chiming tribe over the past few decades also had their own families. As the general of the fairy boat, she was responsible for their lives and safety.

If she stops here because of fear of the unknown future, then she will not be qualified to serve as the general of Xianzhou.

Of course, turning a blind eye to it like Jing Yuan is also an option.

But Jing Yuan was forced by the overall situation at that time and had no choice but to take measures to stop the loss. Now she has the opportunity to change all this, so she wants to take the risk and seek Mo Yin’s help.

Maybe, she would be looked down upon by him because she had to ask Moyin for help even for such a small matter. After all, Moyin might not be interested in knowing the inside story between the Xianzhou people and the Chiming tribe. She could not analyze to Moyin like Jingyuan did why she could not investigate the Chiming tribe herself.

It is possible that the position of general that he had just taken would be replaced by someone else because Moyin felt that he did not have enough ability to take on this position.

But as long as she is the general of Xianzhou, she intends to do it even if she knows it is impossible, because this is the responsibility of the general of Xianzhou.

“It seems that General Fu has made up his mind, so Jing Yuan will take his leave first.”

Seeing Fu Xuan’s increasingly sharp eyes, Jing Yuan bowed and left Taibusi.

His starting point was to consider the overall interests of Xianzhou, so a certain degree of sacrifice was acceptable to him. After all, as a general of Xianzhou, he led the Yunqi Army to fight in all directions and hunt down the Fengcao people on the battlefield, and he had long been accustomed to the loss of life.

The lives of hundreds of Chiming people maintain the alliance between the Xianzhou people and the Chiming people. He can accept this price.

However, Fu Xuan did not want to accept this price, so he was willing to tell Fu Xuan the best way to deal with it, to stop the loss as much as possible, safeguard the interests of the Immortal Boat and ensure the continuation of the Immortal Boat.

As for the consequences of the matter, he could not predict it.

After all, even Fu Xuan, the number one fortune teller in Luofu, couldn’t predict the outcome of this matter, let alone him.

…………

Moyin, who was taking the children from Plum Garden to choose a location to build an outpost, received a text message from Fu Xuan.

[Are you free? I need your help with something related to Bai Lu and the Chi Ming tribe. If you don’t want to help, then I’m sorry to bother you. If you are willing to listen, please bring Bai Lu to Taibusi.]

“Well, I have some things to deal with. Bai Lu and I are going to Taibusi to discuss something. You guys can play with Qingque first?”

Moyin told MDR and the others that they still cared a lot about their reputation, and if Fu Xuan treated them with his usual attitude, they might be unhappy. After all, Fu Xuan’s strength was far inferior to theirs, so Moyin did not plan to bring MDR and the others with him when he went to see Fu Xuan this time.

“Wow! I’m meeting the boss of Xianzhou Luofu. Can you take me with you?”

Xing asked with some anticipation.

“Maybe this matter involves Luofu’s secrets. If you just want to meet Fu Xuan, I’ll introduce him to you later. But this time, Bai Lu and I will go.”

Moyin shook his head and did not agree to Xing’s request to go with him.

Fu Xuan is the general of Xianzhou after all, in charge of the Yunqi Army and the Ten Kings Division, and has the former general Jing Yuan to assist her. Plus, she has a strong personality, so under normal circumstances she would definitely not ask for anything from him.

Now he sent a text message and specifically said it was related to Bai Lu and the Chiming tribe. This is probably not a trivial matter. It would be impolite to bring Xing and the others over.

“Okay, that’s what you said. Introduce her to me later.”

Xing gave Moyin some instructions, and then Moyin took Bailu and Qingque and the others and said goodbye, and took the Xingrak straight to Taibusi.

“Moyin, what does General Xianzhou want to talk to us about…Isn’t it because I left the Chiming tribe and she wants me to go back?”

Bai Lu asked anxiously.
