"Are you alright?" Seeing Jiang Wen stir, Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, this person had suddenly stopped in his tracks, and she thought something had happened.
"I'm fine, I just saw some things." Jiang Wen looked at the already deceased Tuo Quan with a complex expression.
Now that he had died by his hand, it could be considered the end of a certain fate.
That child who lived in the prison, in the end, became a villain.
"Where are the others?" Jiang Wen looked around and discovered that the mecha who had originally surrounded them had all disappeared.
"You killed their boss, so naturally they were afraid and ran away," Jasmine said with a sigh. "I didn't expect you to crush his Soul Core."
"Is that not allowed?" Jiang Wen asked in confusion.
"In Mo Du, no matter what disputes you have with others, the Soul Core can never be destroyed. That is bestowed upon the mecha creations by the Machine Saintess, and it is an incomparably sacred thing," Jasmine explained. "Once the Soul Core is destroyed, the Tai Prefecture will pursue the matter relentlessly, and we'll be in trouble next."
"It's fine, we're going to the Tai Prefecture anyway. The Tai Prefecture has something I want," Jiang Wen said with a nonchalant smile.
"You're crazy! You actually dare to go to the Tai Prefecture!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"Are you scared?" Jiang Wen asked.
"Who's scared? I'm not scared at all. Let's go, just don't run away at the last minute," Jasmine said heroically. "But I need to contact someone. She'll take us into the Tai Prefecture then."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me, I also dislike the Tai Prefecture," Jasmine said with a smile. "What about Nameless?"
"I'm fine with anything," Nameless, who had been silent for a long time, said. "Anywhere is fine."
… …
Taiyuan Port is an important port in Mo Du. It is not only a vital transportation route for Mo Du, but also a port that welcomes merchant ships from the five cities. Ships traveling to and from various places gather at Taiyuan Port, making it a bustling place.
The river flowed along the circular land, and the berths were filled with various sizes of traveling mecha ships. From time to time, ships moved forward, leaving rapidly amidst the mechanical sounds. Sails were slowly furled, and countless mecha of different shapes walked off the ships. In twos and threes, they stepped on the smooth white stone floor and walked towards the port hall along the tree-lined avenue.
Stepping on the mahogany floor, the faint scent of sandalwood permeated this floor.
This was a second floor near the berths, from outside the railing, one could see the incomparably huge flagship. It was like a continuous mountain range, making it impossible to see its end. The hull was intricately carved and adorned with mysterious patterns.
Although Jiang Wen couldn't understand what it was, he speculated that it was something to defend the entire flagship.
"Big sister." Jasmine looked at the graceful woman standing in front of her, stepped forward, and threw herself into her arms. "I missed you so much."
Wearing a deep blue cloak, the woman tied her black hair together, her face was delicate and gentle, possessing the grace of a water town. Her silver pupils seemed even more profound than Jasmine's, and she smiled as she looked at Jasmine.
Compared to ordinary people, her image was even closer to that of a human. Even many ordinary mecha were respectful and polite when they saw her.
She hugged Jasmine and said with a smile, "It hasn't been long since sister left, do you miss sister that much?"
"Of course," Jasmine nodded.
"This is my friend, named Jiang Wen. The other one is called Nameless."
"Hello," Jiang Wen said, looking at the woman.
"Hello, you are Jasmine's friend. Then you are also considered my friend, my name is Begonia."
Hearing this name, Jiang Wen was also a little surprised. After all, it could be a coincidence that Jasmine's name had the word flower, but he didn't expect this Begonia to have it too.
Could there be other flowers? That would be interesting.
"Are you going to the Tai Prefecture?" Begonia pinched Jasmine's face and asked.

"Yes, but recently the Tai Prefecture has been heavily guarded. So ordinary methods won't work, I hope sister Begonia can take us there," Jasmine said coquettishly.
"Okay, sister will take you there," Begonia said without any reservations.
The giant ship, which looked nearly a hundred zhang in size, was a huge airship.
Jiang Wen leaned on the railing, holding the ship's hull. The giant ship, built from some unknown material, was as stable as the ground, and standing on it had a different kind of comfort.
"This ship is so big," Jiang Wen sighed softly, the intricate carvings, painted railings, and exotic beasts, every detail could make one feel the ship's spirituality, like a work of art that made people not know where to look. "It's so beautiful."
"That's right, sister Begonia's airship is an important tool for traveling between the upper and lower levels of Mo Du," Jasmine said proudly.
Before, she always talked about the lower district of Mo Du, Jiang Wen thought that the place she lived was the entire lower level. Only after boarding the airship did he realize that the so-called upper and lower districts referred to the upper and lower spatial districts.
The upper district of Mo Du was above the mecha city, a place located several thousand meters high. Only airships could reach this upper district of Mo Du.
Jiang Wen looked at the front of the ship, Jasmine and Nameless looked at the setting sun in the distance.
The upper district of Mo Du is located at the highest point of the mecha layer. This is the most central location in the entire Mo Du.
The Chengyun sailed along the purple channel through a silver-shining giant gate several hundred meters in size, and the originally gloomy weather turned into a clear blue sky on the other side of the gate. As far as the eye could see, the towering pillar of light was like a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth, and its majestic aura made Jiang Wen, who had arrived for the first time, feel refreshed.
Passing through the gate, only those who had been to the upper district would be amazed by the grandeur of Mo Du's upper district, those dreamlike scenes that were unimaginable to ordinary people shocked the hearts of every newcomer.
"That is Mo Du's Hall of Judgment," Jasmine pointed to a distant building.
The serrated golden curved wings were evenly symmetrical, and a conical pure white building was suspended in the middle, with a huge red crystal shining above the building. It was like a work of art carved in the air.
"The Hall of Judgment is a place to pronounce the crimes of mecha, and many mecha are still in awe of it. If you come to the upper district, don't commit anything, it will be very troublesome to be caught by the pigtails," Jasmine urged Jiang Wen.
"Yeah."
Looking further into the upper district, two triangular buildings appeared. That was a place Jiang Wen had seen before, and he had experienced some things inside.
"That is the Tai Prefecture, the place we are going, but entering the Tai Prefecture is very troublesome. You must be mentally prepared," Jasmine warned.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to get something. I'll leave Mo Du after I get it," Jiang Wen said with a smile. He looked at the shining spot at the highest point of the Tai Prefecture, where the remains of the Machine Saintess, also known as the Saint King, were stored.
The Machine Saintess in the mecha's mouths was actually the remains of the Saint King that Jiang Wen had seen in the Yu God Temple. But why it would appear here, and what the remains in the Yu God Temple were, he would only be able to figure out this matter after obtaining the remains in the Tai Prefecture.
"Let's go, let's get off the ship."
As the airship docked, the three said goodbye to Begonia and headed towards the Tai Prefecture.
