They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 98 Dan Shu's Self-Inflicted Injury Scheme (5000 words)

The sudden transformation of a perfectly healthy person into a demonic being is a huge shock to many people on the Immortal Ship.

If this person is someone you know, the excitement will be doubled.

Fortunately, the physicians of Dan Ding Si have good mental fortitude. After all, as doctors, they often witness life and death, and there are still many people from outside the realm of civilization in Luofu who need medical treatment.

So, although the sight of the frozen figure on the ground caused a stir and many people looked panicked, it did not lead to chaos or a stampede.

Furthermore, the people of the Immortal Boat also had a habit of watching the excitement. Seeing that this demonic monstrous body was frozen, some people were so curious that they wanted to get closer to see its body structure.

Of course, all of these people were herded back into the ranks by the military officers of the Ten Kings Division.

However, the matter was far from over.

The fact that the first person to voluntarily transform into the Demonic Yin form has been exposed proves that the Pill Refining Division really has a problem, and everyone will be thoroughly investigated from now on.

The investigation is just the beginning; the vast majority of people in Dan Ding Si have not yet been "verified" by Dan Lei.

Knowing that Dan Lei possesses the power of a command envoy, and judging from that punch just now, even without the power of the command envoy, he is still an extremely powerful Destiny Walker.

Knowing that even if they joined forces, they would most likely be no match for Dan Lei's dozen or so followers of the Medicine King's secret teachings, they exchanged glances in the crowd, and impulsiveness led them to decide to fight.

In their view, they were surrounded by ordinary doctors from the Dan Ding Si, and they could easily capture several of them.

Only with hostages would they have the right to negotiate with the Ten Kings Division and have a chance to escape from the Pill Cauldron Division.

However, most of these impulsive guys were currently bound by Dan Lei's Twelve Labors Formation.

Dan Lei sensed the emotional fluctuations of these people immediately. Knowing that they wanted to fight to the death, Dan Lei didn't hesitate and used an upward airflow talisman to draw a talisman in the air on them.

This talisman was created by Dan Lei in his spare time. It was modified from a storm talisman and can suddenly generate a super strong updraft on the ground, which can even throw an elephant into the air.

Danlei set up this thing on the spot mainly to train himself to modify rune energy. The inspiration came from a character in a certain anime. After all, LV6 updraft was an old joke from his youth in his previous life.

However, it has now proven to be quite effective.

The moment these guys started transforming, a talisman was instantly placed under their feet. Then, they felt their lower bodies being lifted up by a force, and then they were swept up by the airflow and began to spin.

These people were completely dazed. As they spun around, they wondered, "What's going on? I overdid it during my transformation and I'm dizzy. Why is the world spinning?"

By the time they realized what was happening, they had already been thrown hundreds of meters into the air and were about to begin freefall.

However, Danlei was still kind-hearted. These guys were not worth dying for, but it would be troublesome if they fell and hit someone. Even if they didn't hit anyone, it would be bad if they hit the flowers and plants.

Therefore, a wind element magic array immediately appeared in Dan Lei's hand, and a blue horizontal tornado suddenly appeared in the air, carrying these people and landing very accurately next to the Ten Kings' Martial Officers' team.

Upon landing, these men were already limp from the strong wind and the impact of the impact, so the officers easily tied them up.

However, the batch of Medicine King secrets that Dan Lei had managed to acquire at this time were all impulsive in nature and of relatively low status.

Like Dan Shu, she remained calm and composed throughout, without any unnecessary reactions.

However, now that things have come to this, she knows that she probably can't avoid it this time.

With so many secret practitioners of medicine who can actively transform into demonic bodies appearing in the Dan Ding Division, she, as a high-ranking member of the Dan Ding Division, will inevitably be subject to strict scrutiny.

With Dan Lei around, the secrets in the minds of his subordinates that have been exposed now cannot be kept secret.

After all, while it's impossible to read the minds of the residents of the Immortal Ship, there are no such restrictions on those who voluntarily fall into demonic possession.

Although these lower-ranking members are unaware of themselves.

However, all of these people's superiors will be exposed, and then the trail will be followed to their side.

So she drew a hint on the hand of the maid who was helping her walk. The maid understood immediately and then winked at another man in the crowd.

At this moment, those communicating were all upper echelons of the Medicine King's secret teachings. After receiving the hint, the man immediately used the jade omen to secretly notify his subordinates, who then crowded around Dan Shu and began to transform on the spot.

Since these people had not participated in the protests before and were not particularly impulsive now, Danlei did not notice his unusual behavior in advance.

Therefore, in an instant, a [Medicine King's Secret Transmission] Body Refiner and more than a dozen Demon Yin Body Soldiers appeared beside Dan Shu.

They then held weapons to the necks of Dan Shu and her maid, and also took five ordinary alchemy physicians hostage. They then shouted loudly...
"You lackeys of the Demon Bow and the Ancestor! Lay down your weapons! Look who's in our hands!"

However, these people's threats were completely ineffective against the surrounding Cloud Cavalry and the Ten Kings' Military Officers.

Upon seeing that the people from the [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King] had taken hostages, the Cloud Cavalry on the outer perimeter immediately tightened their encirclement.

Meanwhile, the Ten Kings' Military Officers quickly evacuated everyone else around the location of the [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King]. Then, led by Xueyi, they raised the huge double-headed blade called [Saw Evil] and began to confront these cult members.

After all, the escape of these people will affect more than just seven people. If they are really pushed to the limit, the Ten Kings Division will indeed disregard the safety of the hostages and launch a full-scale attack.

However, it was not yet time for a full-scale attack. Since the enemy had hostages, the crow could only step forward and try to persuade them to surrender.
"Take hostages? Even so, where can you run to?"

Although Luofu is vast, it doesn't offer a place for your [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King]. You'd better return to the Netherworld Prison and confess everything. If you cooperate, we will imprison you until you are ready to pass away peacefully.

Before his passing, he was provided with three full meals, two naps, and a hot bath every day without fail.

To be honest, Danlei felt that Han Ya's attempt to persuade him to surrender was not tempting at all. Who would persuade someone to surrender by saying, "Hurry up and surrender, and you'll get a life sentence. The prison benefits include three meals a day and a shower."

However, considering that the crow had long felt that everything in the world was meaningless due to the side effects of dream interpretation, it is estimated that in her mind, the treatment she just received was already very good for the prisoner.

However, the opposing side certainly wouldn't understand Cold Raven; one of the demonic soldiers directly cursed...
"What nonsense are you spouting, you ghost-like bastard? If you want to stay in the Dark Prison, then stay. I'm not going."

The Demon Bow Ancestor deceived the Immortal Boat people with lies and power, causing us to fear the benevolence of the Compassionate Medicine King.

However, you have all forgotten that the immortals of the Celestial Ship are a blessing bestowed upon us by the Compassionate Medicine King; we are merely correcting the wrongs.

Despite the insults and wicked words of the demonic soldiers, Han Ya remained completely unperturbed.

However, Dan Lei stepped forward to speak up for his friend at this moment.

Dan Lei walked straight forward and said...

"Bullshit, have you ever seen such a beautiful female ghost with such a great figure? Apart from being a bit old, Judge Raven is a top-notch mature woman."

As for the rest of your fallacies, you'd better take a good look at the history books of the Immortal Ship and the various bountiful peoples. Use your own brain to analyze what the blessings of abundance will ultimately bring, and draw your own conclusions! Don't act like you're blindly following someone who benefits from abundance.

After speaking, Dan Lei used magic to mute himself and said to Xueyi and Hanya.
"I will use a secret technique to switch your positions with the two hostages. Be prepared."

Xueyi and Hanya did not respond to Danlei's words, but they had already assumed a fighting stance.

Dan Lei wasn't worried that the two women would be defeated by the few demonic soldiers, so he immediately activated a swap magic spell, replacing them with two hostages who were clearly physically weaker.

The remaining three people were swapped by Dan Lei with the cargo boxes that originally contained medicine.

It can only be said that these guys, who were supposed to be following the secret teachings of the Medicine King, were really unlucky to take hostages in front of Dan Lei.

At such close range, Danlei doesn't even need to leave a mark on the hostages; he can reach them simply by extending his magic.

Moreover, these people are not destined travelers, so they can be easily replaced.

So, three of the demonic soldiers who were holding five hostages suddenly realized that the people in their arms had turned into wooden boxes and had been hit on the feet, so they all jumped up and down.

The remaining two hostages suddenly turned into beautiful women, but these two women were a bit irritable.

Xueyi showed no mercy whatsoever, completely ignoring the arm blade held to her neck and delivering a full-force elbow strike that amplified Xunlie's fate.

The snow-covered garment exerted tremendous force, and Dan Lei even saw that the elbow joints of its puppet body were deformed.

Of course, with such great force, the demonic soldier's chest cavity was instantly caved in, blood seeped directly from his mask, and he was sent flying backwards and crashed into the wall before slumping down, clearly having been severely injured by the blow.

At the same time, Han Ya also dealt with the demonic soldiers behind him.

Compared to the violence of Snow Robe, Raven is much more artistic.

She first used the Heavenly Manifestation Brush to push aside the arm blade in front of her neck, and at the same time took out a token and stuck it directly behind her.

As soon as the command token touched the demonic soldiers, several nether chains instantly bound them together like dumplings, leaving them only able to roll on the ground.

The entire rescue operation took only two or three breaths. By the time the person who secretly transmitted the drug reacted, all the hostages had already been rescued.

Therefore, the cultivator of the [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King] suddenly became a little anxious, and pressed the spear against Dan Shu's neck again, threateningly saying...
"Damn it! Dan Lei, back off right now! Or I'll stab Chief Dan to death right now."

However, upon hearing this, Dan Lei, amidst the surprised expressions of Han Ya and Xue Yi, took a large step forward without hesitation and said...

"Go ahead and stab me. The Medicine King's secret teachings are hidden in the Pill Refining Department. I don't believe that Chief Pill Master Dan Shu is completely unaware of it. As far as I know Dan Shu, although she is blind, she can see people more clearly than anyone else."

So there's only one answer: Dan Shu has definitely joined you, and she might even be one of the main members. You're all putting on a show of feigning injury for me."

After saying that, Dan Lei summoned the Sun Wheel Greatsword and spoke again.
“I bet that even if I kill all your subordinates right now, your spear still won’t pierce Chief Dan’s neck.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a red flash swept across the demonic soldier who had just insulted the crow, splitting its head in two.

When the head of a Celestial being from the Immortal Ship is cut off, their life force will not immediately cease. Although their body will still lose the ability to move, as long as the head is reattached within a certain period of time, they can be resurrected on the spot.

Therefore, to instantly kill a Celestial Ship's inhabitant, splitting their head in two is more effective. As for injuries like shattering the heart or piercing the body, they are all pretty much the same; as long as they receive timely treatment and have artificial organs replaced, they can be saved.

However, once the brain is physically split in two, it's not an injury that can be healed simply by putting it back together.

Seeing that Dan Lei had really killed someone, the [Secret Transmission of the Medicine King] cultivator, though unable to see the face, must be looking very pale right now.

Because he couldn't possibly create a hole in Dan Shu, he was left in an awkward situation.

Therefore, seeing that he could no longer continue the act, Dan Shu had no choice but to speak up.

She silently pushed the spear away from her neck and said calmly.
"Mr. Danlei is indeed astute. I suppose you suspected me from the very beginning."

Seeing Dan Shu jump out on his own, Dan Lei immediately smiled and, in a good mood, lied and replied...

"Yes, I felt something was wrong from the first moment I saw you."

We had no prior contact, but you always seemed inexplicably excited when you met me, as if there was something about me that interested you.

Moreover, your breathing is too long.

You are not a martial artist, so this kind of breathing is very abnormal for you.

I can only say you're unlucky. I know a technique called breathing exercises, so I'm particularly sensitive to other people's breathing.

In conclusion, considering the biological laboratory subsequently discovered by the Ten Kings, you are a highly suspicious person in my mind.

Of course, it's just suspicion. Actually, if your subordinate had just stabbed you in the back, I would have saved you.

I'm confident I can save your life even if you have several holes in your body.

Unfortunately, your subordinate didn't dare to speak out against you, and you had no chance to hint at it to him.

Dan Shu laughed after hearing Dan Lei's words, and said in a self-deprecating tone.
"I didn't expect it to be exposed so early."

Mr. Danlei, I originally thought we could stand on the same side.

Unfortunately, you seem to have a better relationship with the hounds of the Demon Bow Ancestor.

However, Mr. Danlei, I hope you will consider in the future whether you truly understand the Compassionate Medicine King and the Demon Bow Calamity Ancestor.

I suggest you investigate the outcome of the Third War of the Bountiful Peoples and talk to the survivors; they might have a different perspective on these two Star Gods.

In my opinion, your current allegiance to the Ten Kings is simply because you knew them first.

In Han Ya's view, Dan Shu's words were an attempt to bewitch Dan Lei.

So this time, Han Ya stood in front of Dan Lei and said sternly.

"Stop spreading these false rumors! The entire universe agrees that the plague brought by the Ancestor of Longevity has brought disaster to the universe. We will pledge our loyalty to the Emperor of Destiny and destroy you wicked creatures!"

However, faced with Han Ya's accusations, Dan Shu was too lazy to waste any more words and suddenly let out a long, sharp whistle.

Among the crowd that had gathered at the Pill Refining Division, someone transformed once again.

However, this time they weren't from the Immortal Ship, but from the Fox People.

Twenty-four giant wolves suddenly appeared in the crowd and began an indiscriminate attack.

At the same time, seventeen soldiers from the Cloud Cavalry surrounding Dan Ding Si transformed into their demonic forms and plunged their weapons into the chests of their comrades who had just been cooperating with the encirclement.

Furthermore, the roars of numerous wild beasts could be heard from various parts of the Dan Ding Division, suggesting that a large number of wild animals had been released from their cages.

It can be said that the situation on the scene took a sharp turn for the worse.

Some of the military officers were busy rushing into the crowd to stop the giant wolves' indiscriminate attacks and had no time to pay attention to Dan Shu.

The Yunqi army on the outskirts was in complete chaos, and the blockade line had collapsed.

Furthermore, wild beasts have begun to roam the streets of Dan Ding Si, and they are the same series of abundant spirit beasts from the game.

The majority of them are the abundant spirit beast Kui Mu, which can summon its own [Shadow of the Wolf].

Lou Jin, the bountiful spirit beast that grants a collective speed boost with its battle cry, is the next best choice.

The most numerous of the three-meter-tall, massive Fengrao spirit beasts are Changyou, but there are still more than a dozen of them.

These abundant spirit beasts had a very strong desire to attack, and they began fighting as soon as they came into contact with the Cloud Cavalry Army, which was still in chaos on the outside.

These modified, abundant spirit beasts had clearly altered the equipment of the Cloud Cavalry; Kui Mu and Lou Jin's claws and teeth could easily tear through the Cloud Cavalry's armor.

Changyou's attack power is even more explosive; he can even take down a kid with one punch.

To put it simply, in terms of quality alone, these low-level, trashy insects like juvenile and secondary hibernating insects shouldn't even try to compete with the abundant spirit beasts.

Because these creatures were too powerful, Han Ya and Xue Yi had no choice but to lead the warriors, except those who were dealing with the giant wolves, to the front lines. They absolutely could not allow the beast horde to break into the Dan Ding Si's ranks.

Seeing that chaos had broken out, Dan Shu and the others began to retreat.

Dan Lei originally wanted to pursue it, but Dan Shu directly said...

"Mr. Danlei, given the current situation, if you don't intervene, the innocent people present will likely suffer heavy casualties."

Are you sure you want us to watch as ordinary residents of the Fairy Ship suffer terribly because of us?

It's important to understand that the Fox-People, the Wisdom-Holding Clan, and the Outer Civilizations don't possess the same regenerative abilities as the Immortal Ship People.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately scoffed and took off on his Sun Wheel Flying Sword. His body was surrounded by flashing talisman light as he unleashed a large number of Five Thunder Talismans, prioritizing the elimination of the giant wolves that were attacking the ordinary healers of the Pill Cauldron Division.

These giant wolves are quite resilient. Dan Lei's single Five Thunder Talisman is not enough to immediately render them incapable of fighting; he needs two or more.

However, it doesn't matter. Dan Lei may not have much else, but he has plenty of talismans.

Soon, the giant wolves were chopped into charred remains by the displeased Danlei.

Then, Dan Lei addressed the remaining soldiers present.

"Manage people separately, in groups of three or less, and maintain social distancing."

Because we cannot guarantee that there are no other members of the Medicine King's secret lineage inside.

As for the injured, invite Bai Lu Long Zun to lead her medical team to treat the wounded.

At least the Vidyadharas won't suddenly transform into demonic beings.

While Dan Lei was directing operations on site, Dan Shu had already led his subordinates out of the Yunqi Army's encirclement.

However, Dan Lei was not in a hurry.

While Dan Shu and the others were retreating, Dan Lei took advantage of the chaos to summon two of his heroic spirit clones directly in the deserted streets.

After they became spirits, they followed Dan Shu and the others.

Therefore, Dan Lei was not afraid that Dan Shu would run away, but planned to settle accounts with Dan Shu after he finished cleaning up the place.

　Treatment before death in the Prison of Confinement comes from the interactive text of the Prison of Confinement:

　　Standby text (unconscious prisoner): I don't ask for much.

　　Standby text (unconscious prisoner): Three full, two down.

　　Standby text (unconscious prisoner): One hot bath a day.

　　Standby text (mature underworld messenger): You're talking about the configuration before death.

　　The fox spirit who takes the drug will transform into a werewolf. (This is from the story of the character Xueyi.)
