Without any hesitation, they bypassed their opponents and rushed towards the main warship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the commander were to fall, even if they won and returned, they would still be punished by the Heavenly Court, something no one wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members of the Demon Clan were overjoyed at this sight and struck even more fiercely, causing countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to fall in this round of attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring the pain, Yin Qi attacked frantically with his long halberd. The powerful force he unleashed caused the Treasure Ship to be thrown into complete disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Demon King sneered as he retreated, not advancing forward. He was well aware that in this state, Yin Qi was close to going berserk. If caught, his chances of survival were slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under the incredulous gazes of the onlookers, the Black Demon King turned and charged into the midst of the Heavenly Soldiers, causing a bloody massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yin Qi felt dizzy and could only rely on his substantial mana to wreak havoc around him to prevent being ambushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, each Demon King here was cunning and would not come forward to seek death. Moreover, if the newly appointed Marshal Tianpeng were killed, the Heavenly Court would intervene forcefully. By then, who among them could escape?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they unanimously chose to fiercely attack the Treasure Ship. After all, it was a valuable item. Even if they couldn’t take it all, removing parts of it was enough for their use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of some new soldiers who had come to Luzhou in the North for the first time, the monsters in front of them were just like a band of robbers, seizing whatever they saw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some monsters even bit off chunks of the Treasure Ship’s hull and then left jubilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among this group, Lin Fang disguised himself as a Little Monster and quietly boarded a Treasure Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he saw was endless chaos and slaughter. Heavenly Soldiers and monsters fought desperately within the Treasure Ship, gradually staining it red with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Fang frowned slightly. He didn’t want his possessions too soaked in blood, so he quickly snuck into the control room of the Treasure Ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a treasure of the Heavenly Court, and if he didn’t control the control room, he wouldn’t be able to take it away quietly, no matter how powerful his divine skills were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The control room of the Treasure Ship was located below the deck in a rather small room, which housed a Divine Stone filled with mysterious runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of Heavenly Generals guarded this place, each exuding an aura as deep as an abyss and filled with a threatening killing intent, clearly seasoned veterans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the sky outside was turned upside down, they did not take a single step away from this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Liu, can we keep going on like this? Do you think we should go out and fight back?\" one of the Heavenly Generals suggested, licking his lips. His eyes sparkled with excitement, a lust for blood and slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prolonged fighting had tainted his soul, making him fall in love with the act of killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our duty is to guard this place. No matter what happens, we cannot step outside, or we’ll face military law. Have you all forgotten?\" the Heavenly General known as Old Liu said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was suddenly alarmed. These were the words that Yin Qi had said when assigning them their duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of this order that these people were trapped here, unable to move even a step. After all, it was an order issued with the seal of the Marshal, and to defy it meant certain death and annihilation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, they’re just afraid that we’ll cause trouble and make it hard for them to control the Naval Forces, deliberately making things difficult for us,\" one person said, his words dripping with disdain for Yin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, after all, he’s the new Marshal. Don’t be so disrespectful,\" Old Liu reprimanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Life was better when the Marshal was here. The Demon Clan has never humiliated us like this before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares, as long as they don’t rush into the control room, let them kill. These guys won’t die completely; at worst, they’ll spend some Spiritual Charm and come out of the Immortal Transformation Pond again,\" someone said carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t underestimate death. Don’t forget what the Marshal once said, ’The more often you die, the more your soul will be eroded by desire, until one day you become unrecognizable and are purged by the Heavenly Court,’ especially you—it’s quite apparent already,\" Old Liu said, his gaze stern as he stared at the Heavenly General who had earlier suggested going on a killing spree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just enjoy it, okay? You don’t need to look at me like that; I feel very good,\" he said. However, he was secretly alarmed, as his desire to kill had indeed grown much stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While several people were discussing fervently, a look of shock suddenly crossed Old Liu’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All eyes turned towards Old Liu as the Runes on the control stone suddenly began to flash violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is bad, someone has invaded the control hub of a Treasure Ship!\" Old Liu said with a grave voice, disbelief flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Treasure Ship of the Celestial River Naval Forces had never faced such a situation since its construction, which understandably shocked everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible, this Treasure Ship was meticulously crafted by the Heavenly Forge Bureau. How could someone invade it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down. Now that this has happened, everyone, be alert. The intruder might come for us next,\" Old Liu barked, jolting everyone to attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elsewhere, on another Treasure Ship, Lin Fang looked at the stone in his hand that was gradually calming down, sensing the runes on it and marveling at the strength of this great organization that controlled the Three Realms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this control hub alone, with its self-contained system of densely connected Runes, formed the core that could control the entire ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a normal person were to break in, even if they saw this device, they would be helpless, as understanding the Runes requires too much expertise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this posed no difficulty for Lin Fang. After all, he had never ceased his research on Runes, and combined with his knowledge from his previous life, he treated the Runes as basic programming language and the entire core as a system, making it easier to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it didn’t take him long to find a vulnerability in the core, successfully invade it, and leave his own mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, he flew into the sky, capturing the entire Treasure Ship along with the Heavenly Soldiers, Generals, and Monsters inside into the Pagoda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors on the battlefield suddenly stopped fighting, staring incredulously at a spot not far away, where, just moments before, a massive Heavenly Court Treasure Ship had vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no prior warning, nor any earth-shattering noise, just a silent disappearance from its place, as if it had never existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some monsters even rubbed their eyes to make sure they weren’t seeing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding Demon Kings gaped, having fantasized about such an event, but only realizing how difficult it was when actually trying to achieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1262,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","05df7e0a23ee1dbf364df93f8fea17339b58c3dcd485b45ecd360abc5628f4bf","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-174","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-172",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
