"Blood Nourishing Corpse?"
Upon hearing Lin Qian’s words, the controller of the Blood Nourishing Corpse seemed twisted in both expression and complex in emotion. He roared, "You, a boy from a remote place, dare to call me a primitive ignoramus? Fine, fine, fine, I shall see how you can send out so many people."
Not just this alien controller of the Blood Nourishing Corpse, everyone present was anxiously watching Lin Qian, the hope apparent in their eyes.
Under such circumstances, they truly wished that Lin Qian’s words were true, hoping he could save the current situation of the Wanxiang Sect.
Lei Qian, who probably knew Lin Qian best among those present, contemplated, "Could the boss be planning to summon those helpers again? He did mention those from the Sky Breaking Realm, tens of thousands of them. Indeed, if one from the Sky Breaking Realm uses Soul Power to bring along a few dozen outer sect and menial disciples, it really shouldn’t pose an issue."
The more Lei Qian thought about it, the more possible it seemed to him, making him believe that Lin Qian’s plan must involve summoning a large number of people from the Sky Breaking Realm and then taking away the sect’s disciples.
"Humph, humph, you alien; just wait and see how terrifying our boss can be." Thinking this, Lei Qian couldn’t help feeling thrilled.
"Why has it become dark?" Suddenly, Lei Qian noticed a darkness surrounding them, as if something in the sky had blocked the moonlight.
When he looked up into the sky, he was utterly stunned.
A long, sonorous sound of a horn echoed, stretching across the heavens and earth.
The sound of drums beating continuously arose, each strike seemingly hitting everyone’s hearts.
Inside the Wanxiang Sect, one disciple after another looked up, staring slack-jawed into the sky.
Ships, massive as cities, floated and moved through the mid-air.
In the eyes of the Wanxiang Sect’s disciples, these hovering ships looked like enormous beasts, moving cities in the air.
The deep, prolonged sound of horns endlessly echoed within the Wanxiang Sect, and the moving ships seemed like primordial giant beasts wandering in the air.
The ships, bright with lights, clearly displayed layered skyscrapers standing upon them. Each giant ship could accommodate tens of thousands of people with ease and still be spacious.
Bathed in the moonlight, the ship’s bodies gleamed with a cold, metallic luster, featuring numerous dark and profound portals that were chilling to behold, as if they could swallow them all.
At that moment, these massive hovering ships burst out with a gentle light that flowed down towards the Wanxiang Sect below, engulfing all the disciples in its radiance.
"Do not resist, everyone!" At the same time, a voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire Wanxiang Sect, clear to all disciples.
For reasons unknown, upon hearing this voice, all the Wanxiang Sect’s disciples involuntarily followed the instruction, abandoning all resistance and allowing the light to envelop them.
After being covered in the light, everyone in the Wanxiang Sect could clearly feel themselves rising into the air, flying towards the massive ships above.
Atop Maoqing Mountain, everyone was stunned, including the alien controlling the Blood Nourishing Corpse.
Wei Wushuang, who had earlier spoken, swallowed his saliva and stiffly turned his head, looking at Lin Qian beside him.
However, Lin Qian wasn’t paying him any attention. Instead, he sneered at the Blood Nourishing Corpse, shouting, "How about it? Have you ever seen these five battleships of mine? Can you afford them? You said you would concede defeat. Stand strong when taking a beating; watch carefully and don’t drool."
At this moment, the blood color in the pupils of the Blood Nourishing Corpse had become very dim. Withdrawing its gaze from the enormous battleships above, it looked at Lin Qian with utmost gravity, "Who exactly are you?"
As the blood gleam in its eyes was about to disappear, Lin Qian said, "Emperor!"
As Lin Qian’s words fell, the black blood in the heart of the Blood Nourishing Corpse dried up with the last drop, the blood color in its pupils vanished, and it plummeted downward.
Wei Wushuang, quick-eyed and quick-handed, hurriedly used Soul Power to pull the corpse over.
After all, this was his master and his eldest disciple’s grandfather; their remains definitely couldn’t be left here.
At this time, the battleship directly above them also emitted a soft light, enveloping Lin Qian and the others, pulling them up to the battleship.
In an instant, all the members of the Wanxiang Sect were transported atop the five battleships.
The five battleships simultaneously twisted their bodies, turned their heads, and flew towards the direction outside the sect’s gates.
Compared to the originally leisurely pace, the speed of the five enormous battleships had entirely escalated, and in just a few breaths’ time, they had already flown out of the gate of the Wanxiang Sect.
After leaving the sect gate, the speed of the battleships gradually slowed down, and soon after, the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect on board were looking in the direction of the sect gate and exclaimed in shock.
Previously, thick blood gleams had been shooting up into the sky from within the gates of the Wanxiang Sect, and they could clearly smell the pungent scent of blood.
On the aft deck of the central battleship, Lin Qian and the others were gazing in the direction of the sect, watching the rampant blood gleams, each letting out a long sigh.
It could be said, the Wanxiang Sect was ruined; even if the Array were to stop, it could no longer exist as a sect gate.
Although all the disciples of the Wanxiang Sect had left, there were still numerous Soul Beasts within the continuous mountains and dense forests.
The foreign race, using the Blood Nourishing Corpse, had spoken of the Blood Refining Array, which continued to harness the power of these creatures to refine the heaven and earth, altering the nature of that locale.
It could be said the people of the Wanxiang Sect had now become homeless.
Gao Benli was also with Lin Qian on one of the battleships, not here, but personally tidying up his grandfather’s body.
"Don’t worry, he’ll be alright." Seeing Lin Qian looking worriedly towards the buildings on the battleship, Wei Wushuang knew what he was worried about and spoke.
Lin Qian nodded slightly and sighed. "Although my elder brother is often goofy, he’s really positive, almost always seen with a hearty smile. I’ve never seen such a sad expression on him."
"His parents died when he was three years old, and he was brought up by our master. Their bond was incredibly deep. It’s normal for him to react this way," Wei Wushuang said, also seeming lost in thought, continuously shaking his head.
"Boss, you truly leave me speechless." Just at that moment, Lei Qian rushed over from the depths of the battleship, exclaiming in amazement, "This battleship is really fully-equipped; the buildings on the ship are even better than the Wanxiang Sect!"
"I just wanted to check out the cabin, but an invisible barrier blocked the entrance."
"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell everyone something. Don’t try to force your way into the cabin," Lin Qian suddenly remembered something and walked towards the inside of the battleship.
Lei Qian was stunned and quickly followed, asking, "What’s wrong, why can’t we force our way into the cabin?"
"Because you’ll die!"
