Kafka has truly been captured!
This fact left everyone in disbelief.
According to Fu Xuan's predictions, capturing Kafka should have required significant effort.
Yet, reality proved far easier than imagined.
Now, Kafka is securely detained, awaiting interrogation.
"To make this criminal talk, the Divination Commission will need to employ special methods. Given the involvement of a secret treasure, this cannot be made public. Please understand—even if preparations are complete, the interrogation will not begin until all of you arrive."
"I have assigned an attendant to wait at [Central Starskiff Haven Plaza]. Once internal arrangements are finalized, they will escort you into the Divination Commission. Please remain patient for now."
Fu Xuan addressed the Express crew.
Seeing this, Fu Xuan no longer intended to hide anything.
She explained plainly: "This time, we must activate the Array.'"
"Only by using this array to trace the past and deduce the truth can we make Kafka speak."
"Hmm." March 7th nodded hesitantly.
With the mission temporarily on hold, a moment of respite settled in.
Dan Heng suddenly stood up and said to the group: "I must go to the prison."
March 7th wondered if she had misheard. She set down the snack in her hand.
"Dan Heng, are you okay?"
"The next part of the story is about to reveal Kafka's interrogation—the famous scene! Shouldn't we stay and confirm what her scheme is?"
Dan Heng shook his head.
"Kafka... let herself be captured. I suspect her consciousness isn't truly present—"
"By the way... has Jing Yuan still not responded?"
Dan Heng looked at Fu Xuan.
After checking the nearby Jade Abacus, Fu Xuan replied: "No."
"But if you're truly uneasy, I can perform a divination."
As she spoke, she extended her hand.
Her expression shifted from doubt to shock!
March 7th sighed. "Well, even without hearing the result, I can tell something's gone wrong."
"I cast three divinations," Fu Xuan said.
"The Prison and the Stellaron Hunters are both under unknown interference—ordinary divination methods can't reveal anything."
"And as for General Jing Yuan... it's a dire omen!"
Mr. Yang looked at Dan Heng. "You were right."
"We can't stay here any longer."
"Dan Heng, March, Stelle—come with me now. We're heading to the Prison."
"March and Stelle, keep an eye on the live updates. If the plot reveals Kafka's goal, inform us immediately."
Mr. Yang acted decisively, leading the three out of the Divination Commission.
Behind them, Yukong's voice called out.
"You're unfamiliar with this place. I've arranged for Tingyun to meet you at the Star Anchor—"
"Thank you, Sky-Faring Commission Head Yukong."
Central Starskiff Haven Plaza – Bustling Streets
Disguised as Tingyun, the illusionist occasionally glanced at a distant tree.
"In about half an hour, we'll witness its revival—"
Nearby, a storyteller stood with an assistant, who quickly spotted the lone "Tingyun."
"Tingyun! What brings you to Central Starskiff Haven Plaza today?"
"Just taking a stroll." The illusionist smiled in response.
Her mood was pleasant—soon, she would witness the chaos caused by the Arbor's resurgence.
The storyteller and his assistant began their performance, even lighting paper lanterns for atmosphere.
Clearing his throat, the old man began:
"Truth be told, legends are rare in Xianzhou."
"With eternal life, what room is left for myths?"
"Yet, when speaking of the Cloud Knights' tales, we must start from ancient lore..."
"This history began eight millennia ago, when an emperor sought immortality—"
"Xianzhou's ancestors set sail, embarking on a distant voyage."
"A time of—'Vast seas, a lone ship without anchor.'"
*Old, tired legends.*
The illusionist scoffed internally.
*Is this all they have to offer? No wonder no one's listening.*
Soon, the storyteller introduced the Seven Arbiter Generals.
"Behold—by the Marshal's side stand six Xianzhou Generals!"
"Soaring through the heavens, dominating the skies—the Sky-Shattering General, Feixiao!"
"Boundless radiance, blazing light—the Abyssal Torch General, Jiaoqiu!"
The names of the Seven Arbiters, including the Marshal, were familiar to the illusionist.
Such tales might intrigue outsiders, but to her—
"Graceful as jade, commanding celestial blades—the Divine Foresight General, Jing Yuan!"
"Each of the Seven possesses unparalleled skill. Yet when speaking of our Luofu's Jing Yuan, all praise his wisdom and foresight!"
"Thus—'Crafting stratagems, outwitting the heavens!'"
"Victory from afar, schemes unbroken!"
The disguised "Tingyun" applauded politely, tossing a few coins before leaving.
Central Starskiff Haven Plaza – Crowded Streets
The illusionist arrived at a square where a crowd had gathered around a large screen.
"Tch. That 'Star Rail' thing again."
"Mortals—so easily amused by trivial distractions."
Suddenly, an uproar erupted.
Her fox ears twitched.
Amid the frenzy, she caught a key detail—
A video supposedly revealing Jing Yuan's abilities was about to play.
