Derick: General Jing Yuan, I've Brought Your Teacher!

Derick also wanted to know the gap between himself and Jingliu, so he held the Lance of Divine Retribution and attacked her.

"Oh? A bit interesting."

Seeing the power of Derick's attack, the smile on Jingliu's lips widened. She raised her right hand, and the longsword condensed from ice clashed with Derick's Lance of Divine Retribution.

"Derick, go for it!" Stelle cheered for him from the side.

Jingliu looked slender, but the sword she used was as heavy as a mountain. Therefore, Jingliu was not only exquisite in her swordsmanship but also possessed immense strength.

A well-rounded swordswoman—Jingliu.

When Derick's Lance of Divine Retribution touched Jingliu's longsword, he immediately felt his palm crack from the impact, and his right arm was forced upwards. Sensing this, Derick twisted his waist, using the force of being thrown back to spin his body, and elbowed Jingliu.

Jingliu immediately raised her hand to press down on Derick's upper arm, pushing him away.

Derick used the force of the push to quickly adjust his state in mid-air, returning to the state he was in before engaging with Jingliu. Taking a deep breath and feeling the gap in strength between them, he immediately adjusted his attack, swinging his greatsword at Jingliu. At the same time, his other hand didn't forget to take out the Spear of Divine Retribution and attack her as well.

Jingliu swung her sword to block, parrying the attacks of two weapons with one. She didn't move a single step from her spot, calmly dealing with Derick's onslaught.

In an instant, the movements of the two were almost too fast for the people around them to see clearly.

Although the two of them didn't attack their surroundings, the shockwaves from their clash still forced the onlookers to retreat more than a hundred meters.

"Just how strong is this companion of yours?" Stelle asked Luocha cautiously, her baseball bat held tightly in her hands, afraid that he would suddenly attack the others.

Luocha spread his hands, putting on a harmless expression.

"I will not resist. My companion's actions are her own."

Just at that moment, the movements of Derick and Jingliu stopped.

Has the winner been decided between them?

Everyone thought, looking at the two of them.

At that moment, Derick's chest split open, and a huge wound appeared.

What!? This woman is so terrifying! Derick is heavily injured facing her, and she doesn't have a single scratch on her?

Just as everyone was thinking this, Jingliu's blindfold split open and flew into the air.

Derick's attack had sliced her blindfold.

Because of his immortality, Derick's wound was rapidly healing.

Jingliu's eyes widened, and a look of excitement appeared in her crimson pupils. "Kid, your martial arts are really not bad. It seems that if I want to defeat you, I'll need to get serious."

"Mhm, then please enlighten me, Miss Jingliu," Derick said to her seriously.

At the same time, the power in his body gathered, and the Lance of Divine Retribution and the Spear of Divine Retribution crossed in front of his chest.

"Don't talk about enlightening or not. If you can learn anything from my sword techniques, that's your own ability. If you can't learn anything, don't expect me to teach you anything more." Jingliu leaped into the air, her crimson eyes fixed on Derick.

"Let this moonlight—illuminate all the rivers!"

Although Jingliu said she would only see what Derick was capable of, he could clearly feel that her sword-swinging motion in mid-air had slowed down slightly, allowing him to see her attack posture clearly.

A moon-colored brilliance condensed on Jingliu's ice sword, and she swung out a crescent-shaped sword light.

As the sword light descended, Derick felt his body being locked onto by this strike. Jingliu's aura was like a cage, locking him in, leaving no room for evasion.

The energy he had released was simply not enough.

Feeling the pressure of Jingliu's sword light, a giant purple energy hand once again formed behind Derick's back.

The energy of the Titan of Death… Derick can use them both at the same time again.

Seeing this energy being unleashed, Castorice's eyes instantly lit up.

When Cipher had deceived him into thinking the Worldbearing Titan's energy was the energy of the Titan of Deceit, Derick could use the power of lies to trick two Titan energies into being used simultaneously.

Later, when the lie was exposed, Derick was temporarily unable to use two Titan powers at the same time.

Now, under the pressure of this white-haired woman, he could use it again. And it wasn't through the deception of the Titan of Deceit; it was him, genuinely using two Titan energies at the same time.

Jingliu also hadn't expected the black-haired youth before her to have reserve energy. An even more satisfied expression appeared in her crimson eyes.

The crescent-shaped sword light now reached Derick.

The greatsword, the giant hand, and the spear all converged in front of his chest, resisting Jingliu's slash.

Boom!

A violent tremor spread through the surroundings.

A look of surprise flashed in "Tingyun's" eyes.

The attacks of these two are truly stunning. Only by provoking such people to fight each other and then completely destroying them is it truly interesting.

Derick sat on the ground, his greatsword and spear placed to the side, panting heavily. As for Jingliu, the excitement in her eyes was even greater. She strode towards Derick.

Seeing her movement, Castorice quickly summoned her scythe and ran to Derick's side, worried that Jingliu would attack him again. However, Jingliu didn't continue her assault. Instead, she reached out her hand before Castorice could.

"Not bad. I hope you can improve your strength further, so we can fight again next time." Jingliu issued a battle invitation to Derick.

"Next time, I won't be in such a sorry state," Derick replied to her.

"I couldn't ask for more," Jingliu said, then let Derick go.

Then, she extended her hands towards him.

"Come on, tie me up and take me to see Jing Yuan. And that person over there, he won't resist either."

"This…" Derick and Castorice looked at each other.

They had forgotten to bring tools for capturing criminals.

Fortunately, "Tingyun" had contacted the Cloud Knights in advance. While Derick and Jingliu were fighting, the Cloud Knights had also been approaching. Taking two ropes used for capturing criminals from the Cloud Knights, they tied up Jingliu's and Luocha's hands respectively.

Although in Derick's mind, these ropes were more symbolic than practical.

With that done, Derick led Jingliu and Luocha towards the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Xianzhou Luofu, Seat of Divine Foresight.

Yanqing, in high spirits, led more than twenty people dressed in the attire of the Alchemy Commission into the hall. These people were all more or less injured, and they looked at Yanqing with hatred in their eyes.

"General, I have returned." Yanqing said to Jing Yuan and the others with great enthusiasm, still holding onto his captives.

"Good boy, well done. More than twenty members of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, that's quite a number. Keep up the good work, you have a high chance of winning this," Feixiao said, looking at Yanqing's spoils of war and nodding in satisfaction.

"Hehe, thank you for the praise, Sky-Shattering General." Yanqing was a little embarrassed by Feixiao's praise.

Then, he thought of the other two he was competing with and quickly asked Feixiao, "By the way, Sky-Shattering General, have Brother Derick and Yunli arrived yet?"

Only by competing with others could one see the difference in achievements.

"Those two haven't come over yet," Feixiao said to Yanqing. But just a few seconds after she said this, her tone changed, and she pointed to the entrance. "That girl Yunli is here too. I'll remind you, her gains are also not small."

Soon, Yunli, with her bare feet, walked in. And beside her was a short girl in a cyan dress with low twin ponytails.

The girl was yawning as she walked.

And behind the two of them were seven or eight people. Although there were fewer of them, judging from their aura and strength, they were clearly much stronger than the ones Yanqing had captured.

The girl said to Yunli, "Miss Yunli, my task for today is over, right? I took you to raid several branches of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and captured their leaders. The winner of this competition is definitely us."

Yunli nodded gratefully. "Qingque, thank you."

"It's nothing. I should be thanking you for rescuing me from the Divination Commission. Now that they've been escorted to the Seat of Divine Foresight, there's nothing left for me to do. I'm off. My tile-matching friends at Central Starskiff Haven are waiting for me to play Celestial Jade."

Qingque said, walking towards the outside. Soon, she disappeared from the entrance of the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Yunli pulled the leaders of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus inside.

Her gaze swept around and landed on Yanqing and the more than twenty members of the Disciples beside him. Seeing so many people, Yunli was startled at first. But upon closer inspection, she found that although there were many of them, they were all low-level grunts.

In terms of quality, her side was stronger.

"I win," Yunli said proudly.

"Hmph, this is just the beginning. Sooner or later, I'll get my revenge," Yanqing muttered defiantly. He didn't have the mindset of saying that the competition should be judged by numbers, and that his side had the advantage because he had more people. As the future Sword Champion of the Luofu, he had his pride. If he couldn't beat others, then he couldn't beat them.

He argued again, "Besides, Brother Derick hasn't come over yet. Who knows how much he has gained?"

"That's right, little Yunli, Derick hasn't returned yet, so don't be too proud…" Jing Yuan was still speaking casually. But halfway through, his tone paused.

"General?" Yanqing asked him.

"Derick has really brought me some surprises." Jing Yuan's smile was slightly helpless.

In fact, the movements of all three had been monitored by Jing Yuan from the beginning. After all, he was also worried that they would encounter some danger. But when Derick and Phantylia got together, Jing Yuan stopped the surveillance to avoid being noticed by her.

He had originally wanted to find a chance to have Feixiao properly educate Derick not to be deceived by others.

But Derick's arrival had surprised him first.

He brought his teacher with him. And the identity of that blond man next to his teacher is also very mysterious. I feel that I can't see through him. His mysteriousness is evident.

"Are the people Brother Derick brought very strong? Could it be that he captured the leader of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus?" Yanqing asked Jing Yuan.

Jing Yuan's smile became even more helpless.

"I would rather he had captured the leader of the Disciples."

"Huh!?"

Yanqing and Yunli both cried out in surprise.

"Who are those two?" If Jing Yuan could discover Derick and the others, then Feixiao naturally could as well.

Feixiao was young and didn't know the situation, but Huaiyan was too old. He knew clearly about the events of the High-Cloud Quintet back then. Looking at Jing Yuan, he asked, "That former Sword Champion of the Luofu, your teacher, Jing Yuan… she has returned at this time. What does she intend to do here?"

Yanqing, listening from the side, his eyes widened in shock.

My master's master! She was brought here by Brother Derick?

"That, I'm not sure either." Jing Yuan shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at Feixiao and Huaiyan. "But no matter why my master has returned, I ask you two to be a witness for me on the side."

Phantylia would definitely try to throw the Xianzhou into chaos. Even if they repelled or killed her, the old-timers in the Xianzhou Alliance would still suspect that something was wrong on the Luofu afterward.

Feixiao and Huaiyan's arrival, besides providing Jing Yuan with strength and assistance, could also help him explain to the others in the Xianzhou Alliance.

A conclusion made by three generals together… who besides the Marshal could question it?

Soon, Derick led Jingliu and Luocha into the Seat of Divine Foresight.

"General, I have arrived," Derick said to Jing Yuan.

"Mhm." Jing Yuan nodded, then his gaze turned to Luocha and Jingliu.

Jingliu had already put her blindfold back on.

"Master, what have you come here for?"

"Of course, there are some things I want to discuss with you all," Jingliu said to Jing Yuan.

"This is not a convenient place. Please find a place with no one around to talk."

"Alright."

Jing Yuan, Feixiao, and Huaiyan, the three generals, led Jingliu and Luocha towards the back of the Seat of Divine Foresight.

Xianzhou Luofu, Spices-of-Life Inn.

Cipher and Hyacine were at the entrance, admiring the surrounding scenery. This was a sight they had never seen before, and they were very curious about it.

Just at that moment, several mechs rushed over.

Cipher looked and saw that the person sitting on one of the mechs was none other than Skott.

"Yo, your body is not bad. You can still pilot a mech," Cipher said in a teasing tone.

"Cut the crap, you woman! Give me the antidote! Ouch, ouch, it hurts…"

Skott was maneuvering the mech back and forth chaotically.

"Trying to threaten me? I'm afraid that won't work! I think you should come and do some work for me. Maybe then your body will feel better."

Cipher, thinking of Derick's instructions, said to Skott.

Yanqing and Yunli's actions would inevitably cause chaos among the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. At this time, what if someone said they would help them?

And this person… was from the Interastral Peace Corporation?
