Chapter 174 - 159: Escape

The control center was visible to them but incomprehensible, the runes on the stones felt incredibly mysterious, yet what they represented was completely unclear to all the Demon Kings.

Thus, despite numerous battles where they shouted slogans about seizing the ship, deep down they knew all too well that snatching the Treasure Ship from the Heavenly Court was as impossible as scaling the heavens.

In reality, they had long since abandoned this idea, but today’s events had taken them completely by surprise.

Under the gaze of all, the Treasure Ship they believed could never be seized just vanished.

Without any warning, they didn’t even know who had acted.

All the Demon Kings looked at each other and saw the gravity in each other’s eyes—who in Luzhou in the North had such a master?

The Black Demon King, on the other hand, seemed thoughtful, as if he had realized something.

Struggling in agony, Yin Qi looked up and saw this scene, his eyes bulging like bells, veins popping, and seeing this, the Black Demon King did not hesitate for a moment and turned to run.

The guy in front of him was probably going to fight to the death; he couldn’t afford the responsibility for losing the Treasure Ship.

"You dare!" Yin Qi’s angry voice echoed across the sky.

Everyone heard boundless fury in his voice.

"This kid is desperate!" laughed a Demon King.

"How could he not be, this Treasure Ship is a priceless treasure; now that one is missing, he should think about how to explain it to the Great Emperor Jade Emperor."

Another Demon King revealed a cold smirk, "Let’s hurry up and leave, I don’t want to be his scapegoat."

Upon hearing this, all the Demon Kings understood and scattered, fleeing so fast and decisively that they left others in the dust.

Mana surged inside Yin Qi, who had completely lost his sanity, invoked the Law of Heaven and Earth and transformed into a giant as tall as a mountain, his body enveloped by mana that shone with multicolored light.

He swung the long halberd furiously, flattening countless mountain tops, innumerable Little Demons perished at his hand, yet not a single Demon King was seen.

These Demon Kings, seasoned in countless battles and refined through blood and fire, had long mastered the art of hiding from the Heavenly Court. Now, focused on concealment, Yin Qi couldn’t flush them out in a hurry.

He roared in fury and cursed, hoping to provoke the person behind the scenes, but it was all in vain.

Lin Fang was hardly concerned with his insults. Besides, Yin Qi’s skills in cursing were hardly offensive; compared to those friends from his previous life who struck hard online, his insults barely tickled.

At this moment Lin Fang, hidden in the shadows watching Yin Qi rage, remarked with some admiration, "Really, anyone can use the Law of Heaven and Earth, seeing this guy use it is just embarrassing."

Having seen the Monkey and Old Ox use Law of Heaven and Earth, Yin Qi’s Divine Skills were evidently not fully cultivated.

However, that was to be expected, as this Divine Skill required profound accumulation; the deeper the mana, the stronger the individual.

Watching Yin Qi rage, Lin Fang smiled, turned, and left the place.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and Monsters fighting on the Treasure Ship suddenly found themselves in a strange place, with no tall mountains around.

The sun above, though dazzling, somehow seemed unreal.

"Where are we?" Both sides ceased their attacks simultaneously and looked around, puzzled.

Just then, a powerful surge of demonic power enveloped them, as overwhelming as Mount Tai bearing down upon them.

Those with shallow Cultivation Levels were unable to resist this pressure and knelt on the ground.

Countless figures slowly made their way onto the deck of the Treasure Ship, each with an aura deep as the abyss, every one of them a Demon King who could dominate a mountain.

"Where did all these Demon Kings come from?" A Heavenly General struggled to support his body.

Such formidable oppressive force was only comparable to the battle at the Demon Court back then; Luzhou in the North had long since become a divided land, so where had all these Demon Kings gathered from?

However, there was no time to ponder further, as a peculiar aroma filled the air, followed instantly by dizziness. He thought to himself that something was wrong with the scent.

But it was too late; he could no longer hold on and fainted onto the deck.

"This thing really is quite useful!" Old Wolf slowly walked over to the fainted Heavenly General and spoke with a smile.

"After all, it’s something the Butterfly Demons made with great difficulty, such an effect is not surprising," Hu Er lightly sniffed the aroma in the air.

Who would have thought that such a potent item was developed by those seemingly weak Butterfly Demons; it truly validates what Lord Lin Fang once said, there’s no such thing as a useless race.

"You Lan, when will these people wake up?" Hu Er asked with a smile to a little girl beside him.

You Lan lifted her head, very happy, and said, "The elder said that with this dosage, they probably need to sleep for several days."

At this moment, she stood tall, her small chest puffed out and her head held high, very happy because it was a victory for their race, their achievement.

Looking at the Monsters and Heavenly Soldiers and Generals lying haphazardly on the deck, she thought to herself: "We are not a useless race."

The Tiger King lightly kicked a Monster at his feet, finding it deeply asleep, then asked, "Did the master say how to deal with them?"

"Leave these Monsters here, better to recruit them. As for these Heavenly Soldiers, hand them over to that guy in the Buddha Land. With him around, they won’t be able to stir up any trouble," Old Wolf said with a laugh.

The group started to act, and within a short while, the entire deck was cleared, allowing them a chance to thoroughly inspect this weapon of the Heavenly Court.

A sheep-headed Monster touched the Treasure Ship and laughed, "What a great treasure! To think this huge Spirit Wood was used to make a ship, truly lavish."

"After all, it’s a power that dominates the Three Realms; having such a foundation isn’t surprising. But this thing really is a weapon of war. I also watched the battle outside; that guy, I don’t know how he directed it, but he managed to get these guys onto the ship."

"I think it’s because he was too arrogant. If he had prepared the defenses in advance, storming on board the ship would have been extremely difficult. It’s unknown if no one had told him that."

The group chattered among themselves; when they had left Zhilei Mountain, they had only planned to stay here temporarily, since their ultimate goal for seeking revenge was Luzhou in the North.

But after living here for a while, they truly did not want to leave anymore. Compared to the deceit in the outside world, life here was much more peaceful; hence, during this time, all the Demon Kings pledged their loyalty to Lin Fang and became a part of this space.

Now that Lin Fang had seized the Treasure Ship, everyone was even more delighted, having a suitable tool for battle in the future.
