Chapter 240 - 239: Not Killing, But Punishing the Heart

Above the Daohe Fleet.

The shadow of the sword hovers for a while before it quietly dissipates.

Li Jing and Yulian reveal their figures, landing on the warship where Ruan Wenting and Imai Xiang are located.

Which ship is the flagship of the fleet is apparent at a glance.

The Super Disaster Bureau uniforms of Ruan Wenting and Imai Xiang are also completely different from other fleet members.

A glance can tell who the leaders of the fleet are.

Ruan Wenting and Imai Xiang see a young man and a stunning beauty with "trouble" written all over her face. They first look at Li Jing, then do a double take on Yulian.

Li Jing, a very conspicuous figure.

Especially the Blue Edge flying sword in his hand, marked with blue lines.

The sharpness of it, gives one a chilly feeling just by looking at it.

But at close range, it’s Yulian who is more eye-catching.

Even though she has changed her appearance, her core has not changed.

A fox spirit, no matter what it transforms into, is still a fox spirit...

Coming with Li Jing, Yulian no longer suppressed her natural charm.

Just standing beside Li Jing, she has the thousand plus men on the flagship captivated.

Especially Ruan Wenting, a man in close proximity to her, his eyes are glued to Yulian as if the glue was perfectly set.

Even if he knew that he shouldn’t mess with the two people in front of him, and the possibility of looking at Yulian attracting disaster, he couldn’t look away.

Even from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to kneel and serve Yulian.

As a woman, Imai Xiang is slightly better, but she can’t help being infatuated either.

In front of Yulian, who has already achieved the Six Realm level, the Four Realm simply has no resistance.

She just has to release her natural charm, no deliberate actions are needed to take control of everyone present.

Seeing everyone on the ship captivated by Yulian, as soon as they saw her, Li Jing subconsciously turned his head for a look, and almost he got ensnared.

He did not put up much guard against Yulian.

He hadn’t seen what happened when she truly released her natural charm, so he was unprepared.

After all, Yulian didn’t greet him before she released her charm.

He came here focused on being impressive, and didn’t pay attention to her.

The abrupt vision would have caught anyone off guard, if it weren’t for his extraordinary Primordial Spirit being boosted by the double enhancement of Divine Origin Unification and Silent Shadow.

He let out a low exclamation of admiration, forcibly moving his gaze away from Yulian, and spoke softly.

"Xiaoyu, keep your charm in check, that’s not what I brought you here for."

With the call of "Xiaoyu", Yulian was slightly stunned and unknowingly suppressed her natural charm.

She couldn’t help but wonder...

Li Jing brought her here, and said he would use her natural abilities.

In her understanding, she’s perfect for the role of "control".

She managed to control a whole ship upon seeing them, isn’t that right?

Seeing Yulian’s puzzled expression, Li Jing whispered.

"Wait, when I tell you to, then you move."

Meanwhile, the main force of the Heavenly King Group, comprising SIX thousand people, flew over by controlling swords, splitting into fifteen attack formations of four hundred people each, they hovered over the fifteen battleships of the Daohe Fleet, excluding the flagship.

Jiang Wenqian’s allocation was very reasonable.

The Daohe Fleet comprised of sixteen warships, the flagship was already stable with Li Jing and Yulian onboard, there was no need to allocate extra manpower.

Just as the Heavenly King Group’s members arrived and took control of the rest of the Daohe Fleet’s warships with their attack formations, Ruan Wenting, Imai Xiang and other crew members on the flagship barely escaped the influence of Yulian’s natural charm.

Everyone on the flagship was sweating in fear after escaping.

Yulian only used her natural charm to control them upon arrival, without deliberately doing anything.

She didn’t give them any hints, nor did she make them forget anything.

Therefore, they were able to clearly realize that they have just been mind-controlled.

For a moment, including Imai Xiang who was also a woman, everyone present dared not to let their gaze rest on Yulian again.

Too frightening!

Just a single glance, and he had effortlessly controlled the thousands present!

This one not only had an extremely high cultivation level, but his usage of spiritual level magic skills was also impeccable!

What kind of monsters did the Administration Bureau send this time?

Ruan Wenting’s face looked extremely terrible.

Imai Xiang’s face looked even worse.

Not only was she a female, but she also pursued the path of mind control.

She knew no less than ten kinds of charm methods.

Previously, she had chosen to surrender cleanly and take responsibility while asking to meet Li Jing, confident in her abilities.

However, the harsh reality in front of her indicated that her confidence was entirely a joke...

No.

To be precise.

She was not even worthy of being a joke!

Fellow females who were also pursuing the path of mind control, she fell into a trap without any warning.

Imai Xiang did not know that Yulian’s Charm Talent was not mind control but worked on biological instincts.

However, that was not important.

What mattered was that even if she had ten thousand times the courage now, she would never dare to play any tricks in front of Li Jing.

Having the audacity to keep Yulian by his side, he clearly didn’t fear mind control.

Of course.

Even without Yulian, having witnessed Li Jing’s massive sword shadow, Imai Xiang’s courage had shattered, daring not to act out in any way.

Glancing at Ruan Wenting, whose face had turned pale beside her, Imai Xiang took a deep breath and stepped half a step forward.

In terms of rank, she was level with Ruan Wenting.

But this matter, it was her doing.

Beforehand she claimed responsibility for this, so now, she had to step forward.

"I’m Imai Xiang, the action counselor of the Seventh Division of the Super Disaster Bureau of the Daohe Alliance, and one of the leaders of this fleet."

Announcing her identity, Imai Xiang bowed down.

"Firstly, allow me to sincerely apologize to our friends from the Administration Bureau. Our fleet should not have ignored the warning. A defeated soldier does not argue with the victor. I humbly request for you to act in accordance with the Convention and give us the treatment due to captives."

Seeing Imai Xiang utterly backing down, Fleet Commander Ruan Wenting’s face twitched and he silently bowed.

The other members on the flagship looked at each other and bowed one after the other.

Under these circumstances, there’s no option but to back down.

Besides, both the action counselor and the commander had backed down, and there was no reason for them not to do the same.

Seeing the crowd choose to back down without hesitation and no loose cannons popping out, Li Jing smiled contentedly and said nonchalantly,

"I’m afraid I can’t give you the treatment due to captives. After all, neither of us is truly at war, we’re just entertaining each other."

?

Imai Xiang looked up and slowly pulled out a question mark.

???

Ruan Wenting and the other members of the fleet.

Entertaining each other?

Full out attack, and wanting to sink their entire fleet upon meeting.

This is called entertaining each other?

After a stunned moment, everyone realized something.

By using such words, Li Jing was trying to avoid escalating the situation into a conflict between the two sides.

He had considerations!

Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting, who were at the very front of the crowd, exchanged a glance, with numerous thoughts in both of their minds.

Upon encountering a brute like Li Jing who would fire at will and had outrageous strength, neither of them even dared to show any temper.

Originally, they thought they would inevitably become prisoners, bear the humiliation, and let the Daohe Alliance pay money and resources to "buy" them back.

Against all expectations, this was the development in the end.

So it seems, Li Jing isn’t that arrogant after all?

That makes sense.

No matter how domineering he is, he as an individual cannot represent the will of the Management Bureau.

If he was to take their entire fleet as prisoners, the situation would be extremely tense even if a war does not break out between the two powers.

It would not be appropriate to do so just as the Big Secret Realm is about to open.

With this thought, Imai Xiang nodded with an apologetic smile.

"Yes, we are just entertaining each other. It’s just a joke. We were not going to war but just getting in some combat practice. There’s no question of prisoners."

Before he finishes speaking, Ruan Wenting also chimed in.

"We Daohe have lost this time. If your fleet has any requests, feel free to make them. As long as it does not involve Daohe’s interests, we will do our best to satisfy them."

Noticing that Li Jing was showing restraint, Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting felt much more relaxed.

Restrained, that made things easier.

The fear was of him being a loose cannon...

But, while things might be easy, it didn’t mean they were without trouble.

The entire fleet was in their opponent’s hands, and their own fleet could not be relied upon. They had to swallow their pride where it was necessary.

Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting weren’t naive enough to think that just because Li Jing has showed restraint, they could get away without any repercussions. Their fleet would have to give something up.

Looking at the understanding faces of the two, Li Jing smiled and said.

"Winning and losing is a common occurrence in war. The victory of the Heavenly King Group I lead is only because we caught you off guard. It was more your fleet’s oversight than our brilliance, so let’s not talk about conditions."

Hearing such humility from him, Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting smiled cynically, surprised at his attitude.

He won’t impose any conditions?

That’s...

Are you sure this is the same person who ordered his fleet to open fire?

This young man, surely he can’t be the real leader of the fleet, right?

As they were wondering, Li Jing spoke.

"While we do not impose conditions, this bit of entertainment has cost us a lot. Each energy cannon shell is expensive, and our close defense cannons burns through capital in the hundreds of millions every minute. For this financial burden..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Wenting cut in enthusiastically.

"The fleet’s expenditure is no problem, sir. Just tell us the price, and we’ll compensate..."

But before he could finish, Imai Xiang interrupted.

"Your fleet has cooperated with us for this military exercises, of course we, the Daohe Alliance, should sponsor and resolve the cost."

Ruan Wenting, having his words interrupted, was slightly unsatisfied.

Although Yulian had suppressed her natural Charm, it still had an effect at such close range.

In the presence of the exquisitely beautiful Yulian, Ruan Wenting couldn’t help but want to show off by becoming a sycophant.

Admittedly, he was not too eager to take the responsibility from Imai Xiang for the actions of the fleet.

But now that the matter had been handled promptly, and under the subtle influence of Yulian, he felt confident.

However, considering that "sponsorship" mentioned by Imai Xiang was indeed more appropriate than the "compensation" he was about to say, Ruan Wenting begrudgingly was forced to close his mouth.

When it comes to negotiation, Imai Xiang was clearly much better than him.

It would be better if he remained quiet so as not to make a mistake.

If this issue can be resolved by spending some money, then it’s a blessing.

Finding out that the team sent by the Management Bureau this time included top experts like Li Jing and Yulian, they could say they performed meritously instead of losing face, once they return.

This information was something other powers didn’t have.

Here, Li Jing, upon hearing the words of the two, chuckled and said.

"Both of you are so sensible, that I can rest assured. Let’s not waste time discussing prices; money can strain relationships. It’s also not appropriate for the Daohe Alliance to ’sponsor’ the expenses incurred by our fleet. If others knew about it, there might be misunderstandings. Moreover, wiring money from the Alliance takes time and must go through various approvals, which is too cumbersome. Our fleet is not planning to return for supplies soon; it would be a problem without resources."

Saying this, he changes his tone.

"How about this? Both of you order your fleet to give us all their supplies, including the ammunition, to the Heavenly King Group as a supplement to make up for the losses."

"..."

Imai Xiang.

"..."

Ruan Wenting.

Give up all the supplies, even ammunition?

That’s not just a matter of paying some money!

It’s all good about other things.

But the ammunition and supplies from their entire fleet, bare minimum value is tens of billions!

More importantly, Daohe’s military technology is involved in the ammunition supply!

If we gave that away...

Observing the two people in shock, the smile on Li Jing’s face gradually disappeared.

"Oh, so you guys are not willing?"

In the middle of his speech, he waved his Flying Sword Blue Edge toward the sea and swung a sword.

An invisible wind rolled out immediately.

"Puff!"

The sea surface, which had gradually calmed down, was split into two extending infinitely.

Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting went cold at the sight.

This move of Li Jing did not involve any magic skills.

It was just a casual swing, relying on the power of the Spirit weapon itself to bring about this result.

Seeing this, how would they dare to say no?

At this point, both of them realized.

Yes, Li Jing showed restraint, but his restraint was extremely limited.

The person who seemed affable was nothing but a smiling tiger!

After exchanging a glance, Imai Xiang gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Given the public sea and the inconvenience of your fleet returning for supplies, we should do as you say."

"Well said."

The smile on Li Jing’s face emerged once more and he continued.

"In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I would like to request you two to order the fleet to empty everything in their storage spaces, so as to avoid everyone becoming unhappy due to any shortfall."

?

Imai Xiang raised her head in astonishment.

Ruan Wenting’s face was also full of surprise.

The fleet supplies certainly rest in the storage spaces of their fleet members.

For one thing, the warships couldn’t hold so much, and for another, exposing everything could lead to various problems.

And actually, the warships in their fleet were initially packed into storage spaces using spatial equipment. Convenience was the key.

They could drive the warship out to sea anytime, anywhere. It’s not only convenient, but also unpredictable.

Such technology was available to every country-sized force.

As long as they had enough manpower, their fleet battle group could appear in any corner of the world.

So, the question is...

What does Li Jing imply by ordering us to command our fleet to empty their storage spaces?

This attitude...

Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting were no pushovers.

They could easily grasp that...

It wasn’t just the standard supplies like ammunition that Li Jing wanted from them, he wanted to completely loot them!

He wanted ammunition and other standard supplies.

He wanted special equipment carried by the fleet for exploration of the Secret Realm.

He wanted the personal resources in the storage space of the fleet members!

Simply put.

He wanted it all!

Looking at the friendly face of Li Jing, Imai Xiang’s cute little face reported a look more miserable than if she had eaten poop.

Ruan Wenting’s face turned pale on the side.

This round wasn’t just about Daohe Alliance’s military-technical expertise.

The equipment related to Secret Realm exploration had to be exposed...

Thereafter, every member of the fleet would hate him, their commanding officer, along with Imai Xiang.

With the storage space available, which cultivator doesn’t carry most of their belongings with them?

They had come out happily to explore the Big Secret Realm, but before they even entered the Realm, they were robbed clean. Who could withstand such an ordeal?

No murder, just spiritual devastation!

However, facing Li Jing, who was brandishing the Flying Sword Blue Edge, Ruan Wenting didn’t have the courage to say no.

Life is more important than money.

If one encounters Li Jing, one must either desire money over life or to grudgingly admit defeat.

After a silent grinding of his teeth, Ruan Wenting pressed his communication earphone.

"The whole fleet is at your disposal..."

Before he could formally issue the command, Li Jing turned around and gave Yulian a look.

Understanding his gaze, Yulian gave Ruan Wenting a charming smile.

Ruan Wenting, who had been vibrating with indignation, froze on the spot and flusteredly spoke.

"All fleet members, take out all the supplies in the storage space."

As soon as this order was given, all the Daohe Alliance members on the various ships, including the flagship where Li Jing and his team were, exchanged glances and began to remove items reluctantly.

Li Jing immediately pressed the communication earphone and said.

"Captain Jiang, convey my order. Collect all the supplies taken out by Daohe fleet members. Ammunition, supplies, equipment, personal items, don’t miss anything; this will be our compensation for wielding the onset of the war. If there’s not enough storage space, dispatch other personnel from the fleet to collect."

Jiang Wenqian was at this time looking down at the whole situation from the sky above the fleet, and when she saw the Daohe fleet members below her starting to bring out things, she was a bit baffled.

What was Li Jing up to?

Pillaging this fleet?

Normally...

Shouldn’t this fleet be taken back as prisoners and handed over to the Management Bureau for handling?

While she was bewildered, she observed that many people in the Daohe fleet had taken out not only various supplies but also many devices she had never seen before.

At one glance, she immediately realized Li Jing’s well-intended plan.

What has more benefits than directly looting this fleet and bringing back the fleet to negotiate with Daohe Alliance?

In the dialogue between the two forces, there are many limitations.

Too much bullying isn’t appropriate.

What if they don’t want the fleet anymore?

Bullying a fleet that they "gave" up themselves; there’s no harm in doing that.

Even if there is, Daohe Alliance can’t do anything about it.

Once the items are in the storage space, they can’t possibly take them back, they can only send people to kill the Heavenly King Group.

But not to mention whether it’s feasible, it will cause real big problems...

Without any ambiguity, Jiang Wenqian relayed Li Jing’s order through the public channel.

As the order was given, the members of the Heavenly King Group present were stunned before quickly setting into motion.

Military orders are absolute, you can’t not follow.

Pillaging Daohe Alliance’s fleet was thrilling to no end.

The members of the Heavenly King Group, including group leaders and team leaders who hadn’t taken part in the boarding operation and were stationed on their own ships, were shocked upon hearing the order relayed by Jiang Wenqian through the public channel.

TM, so capturing a fleet can also be done this way?

A new world was silently opened up before all members of the Heavenly King Group.

On the flagship of the Heavenly King Group’s fleet, Chen Yuran put a hand to her forehead.

Li Jing was really audacious!

This pillaging of his, who knows how many sensitive items he would acquire, the Daohe Alliance would definitely not let this go afterward.

But thinking about Li Jing’s personality, she felt relieved.

The Daohe Alliance wouldn’t let it go, but it had little to do with him.

The high-level of the Management Bureau was the one who should be worried about this.

Would the Management Bureau’s high-level blame him?

No.

He had brought back so many things related to Daohe Alliance’s core technologies. The high officials of the Management Bureau were too happy to blame him.

Despite the headache, once the property was under their control, there was no way they would spit it out. At most, they would be perfunctory to the Daohe Alliance.

Jiu Li was shocked when she heard the instruction on the public channel.

She had a good impression of Li Jing.

For the more than a month after she arrived at Jianghai, he always cared about her.

But she realized that she actually didn’t understand Li Jing.

The Li Jing she understood.

Was not only generous, kind, but also very considerate.

Who would have thought... he had such a dark heart...

That really hit her taste!

Junk foxes and junk people, aren’t they the same kind?

Just as she was marveling, Li Jing’s voice rang in the Heavenly King Group’s internal public channel.

"Yuran, get in touch with the Research Institute. Have their survey ships come closer. Also, have them organize a team to examine the Daohe Alliance’s battleships for any components of scientific research value. Take apart all components that they fancy, but be careful not to sink the battleships."

At this communication, not only Chen Yuran and Jiu Li were shocked, but all members of the Heavenly King Group were also horrified.

Just how shameless could Li Jing be?

It wasn’t enough just to plunder a fleet, he even wanted to disassemble their battleships?

After this battle, the "reputation" of the Heavenly King Group’s fleet would probably be known worldwide!

On the flagship deck, Chen Yuran numbly switched the communication channel to the Research Institute’s channel and transferred Li Jing’s instructions.

The Research Institute had two survey ships, which were parked in the distance.

Survey ships naturally couldn’t participate in the battle.

When they saw Li Jing leading the Heavenly King Group’s fleet to suddenly open fire on the Daohe Fleet not long ago, the academicians were very nervous.

Before the battle started, Li Jing didn’t tell them anything. He only asked them to stop and keep their distance.

They suddenly started fighting. How could they not be nervous?

Then they saw the Heavenly King Group’s fleet bombard Daohe’s fleet with a series of shots. The academicians were somewhat excited.

Look at that!

The Research Institute’s battleship rubbed Daohe’s fleet on the ground within minutes.

Suddenly, after hearing Chen Yuran’s instructions on the Research Institute’s channel, the academicians were stunned for a moment, then immediately rolled up their sleeves and started their survey ships towards the Heavenly King Group’s fleet.

In the eyes of these academicians, who only cared about research, there was no such thing as essential relations.

They could already get research materials before entering the Secret Realm.

Where else could they find such a good thing?

The technology of Daohe, certainly couldn’t compare with their Research Institute.

But to say there was no reference value, they would analyze the materials and give them to the Management Bureau, which could definitely get them substantial research funding!

...

Daohe Fleet’s flagship deck.

Imai Xiang’s pretty face was pale, her body shaking.

Li Jing’s directives to the Heavenly King Group and the Research Institute fell word by word into her ears.

Since her debut, when had Imai Xiang ever suffered such humiliation?

This is too much!

But what could she do?

Ruan Wenting, who was charmed by Yulian, was gaping like a fool, drooling all over the floor.

If she dared to touch the communication earpiece and say something to the whole fleet now, the result would definitely be the same.

"Counselor Imai, you seem quite unwilling?"

The nightmarish voice resounded, making Imai Xiang feel weak at the knees.

Once this matter was over, her career would pretty much be ruined.

So many core technologies had been taken away, even the warships had to be dismantled, it would be a miracle if the Super Disaster Bureau still needed her.

The news of Li Jing, a ruthless character amongst the personnel of Hua Country Administration Bureau, was too late to be helpful.

The seemingly harmless young man in front of her was more like a demon!

Imai Xiang tearfully glanced coldly at Li Jing, opened her storage space and humiliatingly took out a large chunk of objects.

Seeing this, Li Jing turned to Yulian.

"Xiaoyu, your storage space should be big enough. Collect all the supplies on this battleship. Keep the personal belongings as your share to divide with Brother Jiu and Yuran later, and hand over the military-related ones to the others in the Heavenly King Group later."

Hearing this, Yulian was slightly stunned, then her body softened slightly.

There were more than a thousand people on this flagship.

Although they were all low-level cultivators and probably didn’t have anything valuable, their number was significant!

A cultivator from the Three Realm, even if poor, would have at least a few tens of millions of assets.

A more affluent one could even have several hundred million.

With more than a thousand people...

Clasping onto Li Jing’s arm to steady her shaky legs, Yulian quietly asked,

"Don’t you want any?"

"I only want merit for this trip, you, Brother Jiu and Yuran won’t need it, we take what we need."

Li Jing replied, saying,

"Additionally, I’ll need you to confirm one by one whether these people on the Daohe Fleet have cleaned out their storage spaces. There are quite a lot of people, it will take a lot of energy, thanks for your hard work."

Hearing this, Yulian finally understood why Li Jing specially brought her along on this trip.

It turns out that from the beginning, he had the intention of looting this fleet, bringing her along was to ensure the Daohe people were honest and emptied their storage spaces.

She could control people’s minds through Charm, but she couldn’t make them use magic skills or open their storage spaces.

However, making people honestly declare whether there was anything left in their storage spaces wasn’t difficult!

Li Jing’s intentions were truly sinister!

Oof!

He’s so wicked!

But I like him, what should I do?

Glancing at Li Jing while biting her lip, Yulian silently suppressed her surging emotions and stood upright with a nod.

This Daohe Fleet had at least 16,000 people.

To go through and question each person individually, even for her, was a big task.

On the other hand, Imai Xiang heard the words of Li Jing and Yulian, a term for "a despicable pair of lovers" stuck in her mouth but she swallowed it down, silently needed to pull out many more things from her storage space.

Originally, she had held a bit of hope.

Whether she had taken out everything from her storage space, only she knew.

However, Li Jing didn’t leave a single opportunity for luck or chance...

...

Three hours later, all members of the Heavenly King Group returned to the fleet and under Li Jing’s instructions, set a return course.

There was no other choice.

Their gains were too much.

The Heavenly King Group consisted of 12,000 people and nearly 2,000 from the Research Institute, almost all of their storage spaces were filled.

You have to keep in mind that they already had their own war supplies and equipment for this trip.

The parts that were destroyed by cannon fire were just trivial.

Yulian’s storage space was also stuffed full, and even Li Jing, Jiu Li, and Chen Yuran had to help pack a lot of objects.

This was not good.

They were waiting for the Secret Realm Passage to open, to explore the Secret Realm.

With no place to put the gains, how could they proceed?

Anyway, the Secret Realm Passage wasn’t open yet, it wouldn’t matter if they ran back to Jianghai for a round trip before returning.

Watching the Heavenly King Group fleet heading off to return, Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting stood on their flagship’s deck, their faces ashen.

The Heavenly King Group’s looting left them doubting their lives.

The key point was, this looting was too thorough!

Including the two of them, the entire fleet of nearly 17,000 people had their storage spaces cleaned out. The sixteen battleships remaining were nothing but empty shells.

If Li Jing was a demon, then the group from the Research Institute were the devils!

Main Gun Controller.

Good lord!

The craftsmanship is quite good, isn’t it?

Dismantled.

Reactor Core.

Oh!

Unseen technology!

Dismantled.

Radar.

It’s different from ours!

Dismantled.

Main Control Panel.

Fuuhh!

Seems like there’s some secret craft inside?

Dismantled.

A series of dismantling and dismantling, ripping off all that could be ripped off, even the armoured plates with defensive formations were not spared!

Heaven knows how this group of scholars, who didn’t usually practice rigorously and were always involved in research, managed to completely dismantle sixteen battleships in just three hours.

The originally majestic and deterrent sixteen battleships were now barely afloat on the sea, it was nothing short of a miracle...

...

In the Sea area where the space fluctuations were located, the two Daohe fleets received Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting’s request for assistance and dejectedly left their original anchoring point to go to their aid.

The situation, in fact, they had known about it a long time ago.

Not just them, but the power factions from all other parts, including the Twenty-four Cities Management Bureau, were also already aware.

How does the saying go?

Humans may plan, but heaven is watching.

Although after the ceasefire between the two parties, even the fleet of the Twenty-four Cities Management Bureau didn’t do much, they didn’t try to approach the Heavenly King Group fleet, or even attempt to communicate to inquire about the situation.

But through satellite imagery, they clearly captured a large group of people jumping around to dismantle the Daohe Fleet warships...

All factions tacitly turned a blind eye.

Even the fleet of the Twenty-four Cities Management Bureau that shared a close relationship with the Heavenly King Group, implicitly formed an encirclement to block other Daohe fleets to prevent them from interfering.

Although they didn’t know the specifics, after today, the Daohe Alliance would become a laughing stock.

After an offensive provocation, even its warships were dismantled....

This... isn’t it delightful to see?

A few hours ago, they acted arrogantly, didn’t they?

The other fleets of the Daohe Alliance, on the other hand, were furious but dared not say anything.

What could they do?

They were helpless too!

With the presence of the Twenty-four Cities Management Bureau fleet, they didn’t dare to move.

Now, the intervention of other factions added insult to injury, and the Daohe Alliance was becoming the butt of everyone’s jokes, how could they dare to move?

The only consolation was.

That Imai Xiang and Ruan Wenting had just sent the distress signal, the Daohe alliance held their forces after finding out about the situation through the satellite, allowing them to save face...

...
