Chapter 262 - 217 Results_2

"Rest assured, everyone has their specialty, and this is mine. Just relax, and let’s quickly move on to the next ship," Lin Fang said.

Following the same method, it took them just a short while to gain control of all the Heavenly Court Treasure Ships that had come to patrol Luzhou in the North.

As the effect of the Blade of the Lawless wore off, the ships started to radiate light again, but from that moment onward, their master became Lin Fang.

Feng Jiu dumbly watched the scene unfold. She truly hadn’t expected Lin Fang to accomplish this in such a short period.

One could say that with his own power alone, he had turned the entire Heavenly Forge Bureau into a joke, shattering the myth that Treasure Ships could not be captured.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help me move these Treasure Ships into the smaller world," Lin Fang urged.

Feng Jiu snapped out of her shock, her beautiful eyes stared at Lin Fang for a moment, and a brilliant smile spread across her face.

"How do I operate this?" she curiously held the control core.

"Haven’t you operated the one from the smaller world? It uses the same system. To save time, I just copied that setup," Lin Fang explained.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Feng Jiu was already soaring through the sky with the Treasure Ship, her silver-bell-like laughter echoing in the air.

In the small world, the Demon Master was leading the personnel of the Demon Court in their arduous task of rebuilding.

Looking at the gradually restoring Demon Court, the most radiant smile appeared on his weathered face.

Like him, every survivor in the Demon Court now had a smile brimming with happiness on their face.

After this period of rest, their spirits had visibly improved, and they were now chatting enthusiastically.

Dreaming of the future, a grand and glorious Demon Court was bound to be revived by their hands; a feeling of satisfaction difficult for outsiders to understand.

Just then, a tremor passed through the small world, and everyone couldn’t help but look up towards the sky.

"It looks like the operation was a success!" the Demon Master exclaimed with a laugh.

This kind of disturbance could only mean that something large had entered; clearly, the emperor’s plan had succeeded, and they had managed to take at least one Treasure Ship from the Heavenly Court.

The operation was initiated because Feng Jiu had seen the Treasure Ship Lin Fang had placed in the small world.

Not just Feng Jiu, when the Demon Master saw the Heavenly Court Treasure Ship flying overhead, if not for hearing the laughter of Little Fox and others from the ship, he would have thought the Heavenly Court had launched an attack.

Upon reflection, he realized that it wasn’t any Mount Ling Buddha who had stolen the Treasure Ship originally, but Lin Fang.

And once they boarded the Treasure Ship and learned how to pilot it, they gained a new respect for Lin Fang, hence Feng Jiu devised the plan to ambush the Heavenly Court Navy’s fleet and seize their ships.

It seems that the plan has already succeeded.

True enough, the silhouettes of the Treasure Ships slowly appeared in the sky, casting deep shadows.

The Demon Master, looking up, silently counted the ships. He had thought capturing one would have been impressive, but to his surprise, he saw two Treasure Ships slowly sailing in.

"Did we capture two?" exclaimed the Flood Dragon Demon King, equally astounded.

Although the Demon Emperor’s short dagger was very mysterious and could effectively counter the Treasure Ships, the challenge was in seizing control after capturing them.

This involved understanding the runes, which was precisely the Demon Court’s weak point. Fortunately, Lin Fang was proficient in this area, but they hadn’t expected to retrieve two on this attempt.

However, as they were still in shock, they suddenly realized that there were two more ships following behind.

"What is this?" The two exchanged glances, each seeing the surprise in the other’s eyes.

As the Treasure Ships slowly landed, they realized that it was not four ships, but five.

Lin Fang and Feng Jiu had captured an entire patrol team in one fell swoop.

The monsters of the little world hurriedly greeted them, and as soon as they reached the side of the Treasure Ship, they saw Lin Fang and Feng Jiu approaching.

"Your Majesty, this is an entire patrol team," the Demon Master said with a laugh.

Feng Jiu proudly clapped her hands and said, "Indeed, we’ve annihilated their patrol team, and I dare say the Heavenly Court won’t dare patrol Luzhou in the North for a while."

To annihilate a fleet of this scale, it’s unbelievable if spoken aloud. After all, this represents a force that currently terrifies the Three Realms.

If not for Feng Jiu wielding the Blade of Annihilation, this would not have been possible.

Such force being silently obliterated in Luzhou in the North, naturally, the Heavenly Court wouldn’t take this lightly. For safety, they won’t let the Treasure Ship patrol Luzhou in the North until they find a foolproof strategy.

"With this time, we have enough opportunity to accomplish a lot," the Demon Master also said with a smile on his face.

For the Demon Clan in Luzhou in the North, without the constant threat of the Heavenly Court Treasure Ship overhead, the restless Demon Kings will likely resurface, and the Heavenly Court’s influence in Luzhou in the North will be attacked, truly stirring up waves with one stone.

The Demon Master seemed to already see the Heavenly Court in disarray.

While the people in the little world cheered for this, within the Heavenly Court at Marshal Tianpeng’s Mansion, Yin Qi was shocked enough to throw his wine glass onto the floor.

"What, the fleet disappeared? Impossible!" he shouted in disbelief.

That was an entire fleet, equipped with the most formidable weapons of war in all the Three Realms. Even if a great power intervened, it should have left traces. How could it possibly disappear without a trace.

"Marshal, this information is absolutely true. Clairvoyance and Ears that Hear with the Wind, two Immortals, have confirmed it. The fleet disappeared in Luzhou in the North, and there seem to be spatial fluctuations around, likely a great power’s doing," reported the person kneeling on the ground.

Shocked, Yin Qi stood up from his seat. Although he was still reluctant to believe it, since Clairvoyance and Ears that Hear with the Wind had confirmed it, the disappearance of the fleet must be true.

But no matter what, he could not understand who had such ability. That was an entire fleet. How could it possibly just vanish without a sound?

"Let’s go to the Immortal Transformation Pond. I want to see from the memories of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, who exactly took action."

Yin Qi hurried out of his residence and headed straight for the Immortal Transformation Pond.

The Immortal Transformation Pond, as one of the core structures of the Heavenly Court, was not far from the Lingxiao Treasured Palace, separated only by a road from the famous Immortal Slaying Stage.

It was a large square pool, shrouded in mist. Rich Incense Willpower condensed into the pool water, lying quietly within the pool.

Golden lotuses bloomed in the pool, adding an exotic charm. This was a gift from the Buddhist Sect in the West to the Heavenly Court, known as the Merit Golden Lotus.

Occasionally, mist would burst from the pool, condensing in the air into figures of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. These were individuals who had died elsewhere, and as long as the Immortal Transformation Pond existed, they possessed undying bodies.

At this moment, Yin Qi rushed to the location, and immediately upon arrival, he saw Master Zhang who was guarding the spot and promptly greeted him, "I have seen Master Zhang! I didn’t expect it to be you on guard today."

Zhang Daoling opened his eyes and, seeing it was Yin Qi, replied with a smile, "I wondered who it was. It turns out to be the greatly favored Royal of the Empress. What brings you to the Immortal Transformation Pond today?"

Yin Qi then frowned and recounted the earlier events.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang also frowned deeply and said, "That’s an entire fleet, fully equipped with cannons. Who could possess such might? Wait here; I’ll check for you right away."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand towards the Immortal Transformation Pond, and mist churned as if countless figures appeared.

However, after watching for a moment, Master Zhang’s expression grew grave, because the souls of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the Immortal Transformation Pond had not returned.

"Master, what has happened?" Yin Qi, seeing the change in Master Zhang’s expression, quickly asked.

"This is truly strange and bewildering. Not one of the souls of those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals has returned to the Immortal Transformation Pond. Could they still be alive?" Master Zhang said truthfully.

"Master, could someone have intercepted their souls, preventing them from returning to the Immortal Transformation Pond?"
