Option Three: Do nothing — Completion Reward: Yandere's Fourfold Gaze. Note: Beware your back!

Looking at options one and three, Bochang knew that if he didn't mock Phantylia, she would undoubtedly cause some mischief.

She might even bring up yesterday's incident of touching Tail.

In fact, not long ago, Phantylia had attempted something similar, but Bochang swiftly silenced her with a well-timed theft, preventing her from uttering a word.

And now...

Bochang decided to mess with her again.

"Option two."

Although Bochang desperately wanted to inquire about Tingyun's whereabouts, it seemed...Phantylia wouldn't reveal anything. His only hope lay with Dan Shu, who was recently captured by Fu Xuan.

Since Dan Shu was aware of Tingyun being replaced by Lord Ravager, there was a chance she also knew something about the fox maiden's current location.

This necessitated Fu Xuan to interrogate Dan Shu.

Bochang couldn't assist much here and instead taunted loudly, "What 'casually crafted body'? Who would believe that... Phantylia, haven't you been lurking for so long... just for this moment? I bet... you must be internally devastated by now, probably crying and raging."

"Sniffle, sniffle, truly pitiful..." Bochang continued without giving Phantylia a chance to respond.

Just as he finished speaking, the system's voice chimed in:

[Rewards being distributed - Congratulations! You have received a one-time use item, Elementary Student Card. When sustaining fatal damage, it negates one attack and grants invulnerability for one second. Note: This item has been stored in the System space and can be directly accessed for use.]

"Elementary Student Card? That's handy," Bochang thought with slight delight.

He had recently lost this life-saving item, but now it was back.

Phantylia, stung by the mockery, responded with a colder tone, "I am neither crying nor throwing tantrums."

"Also... haven't your parents taught you that interrupting others is highly impolite? Bochang ... I've taken note of you now, just wait... one day, I will make you experience pain."

As Phantylia continued speaking,

Bochang felt increasingly certain he had struck a sensitive nerve.

Suddenly, Jing Yuan interjected, "Phantylia, enough with the threats. Leave now... Go back and tell your legion that The Hunt's revenge is inevitable!"

Just as this cloud knight general finished his sentence,

the eerie blue flame hovering in mid-air dispersed.

Leaving behind only one final phrase:

"I'll be back."

Both Jing Yuan and Herta knew that by the time they defeated Phantylia, she had already escaped, leaving behind merely a flame decoy—a similar tactic to when Phantylia created Tingyun's false body earlier. An Emanator of Destruction is not so easily killed.

Moreover, as an Energy-based Emanator like Phantylia, if she was determined to escape, it proved quite simple.

At least Jing Yuan and Herta, among others, were unable to stop her.

"The battle is over; next..."

Stelle gazed at the nearby Stellaron.

The glowing sphere remained entwined by the Tree of Foundation's roots, continuously absorbing its destructive energy.

With Phantylia having fled, the remaining Stellaron became a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Welt Yang rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"Phantylia should be incapable of causing further trouble for some time, nor do we need to worry about her attempting to influence the Tree of Foundation again. However, sealing the Stellaron will require considerable effort."

As a product deployed by Nanook, the Eon of Destruction, the Stellaron was not easily sealed.

Welt Yang intended to offer assistance.

Jing Yuan rested his forehead against his hand and said, "These matters... let Minister Fu handle them. It has been a long while since I've exerted myself so much; I feel rather weary now."

It was evident that General Yun Qi had no intention of involving the Astral Express.

After gently rubbing his forehead, Jing Yuan led everyone away from the sealing site of the Tree of Foundation.

Throughout the latter part of the battle, Bochang and his companions were thoroughly captivated, leaving with great satisfaction.

The Stellaron Crisis on Luofu Immortal Continent reached its conclusion at this point.

Upon exiting the sealed area, Bochang's group encountered Fu Xuan, who had just arrived.

Seeing the exhausted cloud knight, Fu Xuan expressed concern, "General Jing Yuan, are you alright...?"

"I'm fine, just a bit weary," Jing Yuan replied, taking a deep breath. "Phantylia... is indeed a formidable enemy. Without the assistance of Miss Herta and the Astral Express crew this time, victory would have been uncertain even for me alone."

As Jing Yuan introduced them,

Fu Xuan gently nodded towards Herta and Asta, expressing her gratitude.

"General Jing Yuan, you should promptly rest now; don't let exhaustion lead to illness... I'm still awaiting our next Six Sovereigns' political deliberations..."

Before Fu Xuan could finish, Jing Yuan interrupted, "Alright, alright, understood. Don't worry, Minister Fu."

Then...

Fu Xuan's gaze landed on Dan Heng, and her brows suddenly furrowed.

"Your face seems quite familiar..."

"Wait, this venerable one remembers now—you're Dan Heng, part of the High-Cloud Quintet—the reincarnation of Dan Feng, correct?"

"How did you come to Luofu Immortal Continent?"

Although the Ten-Lords Commission had erased Dan Heng's name from public knowledge,

However...

As the Master Diviner, Fu Xuan was expected to be knowledgeable about Xianzhou Luofu's historical cases and past secrets, prepared for any unforeseen circumstances. Moreover, the dragon horns atop Dan Heng's head made his identity unmistakably clear.

March 7th spread her hands wide. "Quite famous you are on this Xianzhou, Dan Heng—even Master Diviner recognizes you."

If given a choice, Dan Heng wouldn't have sought such notoriety. He crossed his arms, showing no inclination to respond—a living embodiment of the stoic little azure dragon reputation.

Bochang and the others merely observed quietly.

Jing Yuan raised his hand. "No need for surprise, Minister Fu. I previously struck a deal with Dan Heng from the Astral Express crew: if he helps me defeat Lord Ravager, I will rescind his expulsion order. At least here on Xianzhou Luofu, he will no longer be anyone's shadow."

Fu Xuan nodded and said, "Understood, General."

"However... his appearance closely matches the description in the illustrated records. Can Vidyadhara's reincarnation truly bring about such a transformation?"

"It can," both Dan Heng and Bailu affirmed simultaneously.

Jing Yuan added, "Indeed, Vidyadhara's reincarnation does effect profound changes, although slight similarities in appearance may still persist."

After some casual conversation...

With the protection of the Cloud Knights, Jing Yuan departed from Scalegorge Waterscape.

As they watched the cloud-mounted general recede into the distance, Bochang and the others learned from Fu Xuan that there had been complications at the Artisanship Commission.

However...

The matter had been entrusted to Cloud Knight Lieutenant Yanqing, so there was no need for the Astral Express crew's involvement.

Thus, the Astral Express crew could take some rest at Luofu Immortal Continent.

Before parting, Bochang looked at Fu Xuan and asked, "Have you discovered Tingyun's whereabouts from Dan Shu?"

"Not yet. Dan Shu hasn't revealed anything," Fu Xuan shook his head.

Upon seeing this...

Bochang felt somewhat disappointed. Fu Xuan gazed back at him, appearing hesitant as if wanting to say something but holding back. After a moment of thought, he simply stated, "This venerable one has important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."

With that, Fu Xuan turned and departed, leaving behind only a striking silhouette.

Bochang watched after him.

Suddenly, March 7th leaned close to Bochang.

"Nice looking, huh?"
