Chapter 812: Heaven Court Navy Fleet
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The Bi Fang celestial quickly turned around with a pair of terror-filled eyes and cloaked himself in flames. He turned into a fire phoenix and pounced against the incoming strike.
With just a glance, Lu Wang could see through the Bi Fang celestial as an ordinary cultivator. He waved his hand and dispersed the skill. He smiled, “I apologize for the rashless act.”
He was strong and powerful, being able to cast and stop his skills at ease just like a casual flip of his hands.
As the skill dispersed, the Bi Fang celestial’s target was lost in sight and he had gone straight for the Luli Clan’s warship. He was shocked by the sudden development of the situation and tried to disperse his skill. However, given just how weak he was, he only managed to disperse his skill but with the cost of some minor inner injuries to his organs.
The Bi Fang celestial felt humiliated but wasn’t dare to lash his anger on the Luli Clan, he said, “It’s alright, it’s alright.” As he finished, he sped away quickly.
“Both his prowess and reaction speed is weak, even slightly below the mediocrity. He can’t possibly be one of the Xian Tian Palace’s.” Lu Wang shook his head, “Those from the Xian Tian Palace are strong, especially the one called Mister Yi, he is marvelous.”
Suddenly, Lu Binger’s face changed drastically, she shouted, “Not good! Stop him!”
The Bi Fang celestial heard her screams and his face turned despondent, he stopped and shouted back, “Senior martial siblings of the Luli Clan, please spare my humble life!”
Lu Binger gave a cold sneer, “Mister Yi, I’ve seen through your cover, why do you still bother with the act?”
The Bi Fang celestial was puzzled and could only put up a petty smile.
Lu Binger scrutinized him from tip to toe and abruptly, she chortled, “I’m just trying my luck. You are really not him. Fine then, we’ll proceed with the search.”
Lu Wang laughed, “Sister, you are too skeptical.”
The gods on the warship also shook their heads, but Lu Binger replied solemnly, “It’s not that, but this is just a serious matter. The heir of the Zhongyang Clan, Yang Changsheng, was killed in our territory. If we mishandle the situation, the whole clan will subject to an endless stream of troubles. We might not even be able to secure our own safety. Thus, the only way to save ourselves now is to find Mister Yi and Mu Qingxuan and hand them over to the Zhongyang Clan.”
Lu Wang thought, “But we will offend the Xian Tian Palace.”
“No, we won’t, or more like, they won’t dare to seek troubles with us.” Lu Binger smiled, “The Xian Tian Palace is at odds with Heavenly Monarch and his clan, and now it has even offended the Zhongyang Clan. Imperial Emperor Xian Tian cannot afford to make a third enemy.”
Lu Wang was dawned, he laughed, “Sister, you are far better a leader than I am. No wonder the elders value you so much and want me to learn from you.”
Lu Binger sighed, “But I am, after all, a girl. I will be married to someone else someday in the future and leave the Luli Clan for my partner’s. My only wish before that is that you train well to become a competent leader.”
Her words had made Lu Wang become despondent at his own weaknesses.
All of a sudden, thunder rumbled above the clouds and a river rolled down from it. Countless warships could then be seen sailing on the tides and gradually filled the sky.
The gods on the warships were donned in shining armor while carrying divine weapons.
Lu BingEr’s face changed dramatically, she exclaimed in shock, “Heaven Court’s navy fleet!”
Then, an even larger warship sailed out from the descending river toward them. A Deity Overlord opened the mask on his war helmet and revealed a lone huge eye on his face.
The eye covered the whole face, there wasn’t a nose nor mouth on his face. The Deity Overlord raised his hand and on his hand’s palm, there was a mouth that spoke, “Is this the Luli Clan?”
Lu Binger quickly bowed and replied, “Yes, daughter of the clan master, Lu Binger, and son of the clan master, Lu Wang greets the general.”
When the Deity Overlord heard they were from the clan master’s, he rapidly grew polite and said, “So I see, it’s Miss Binger and Mister Wang. I apologize for any rudeness. Yan Gongfu of the Tian Yan Race greets the miss and mister.”
Lu Wang was puzzled, he asked, “General, why has the Heaven Court sent the Heavenly River Navy Fleet to here?”
Yan Gongfu sighed, “Royal Prince Wen Dao has passed, murdered in your Luli Clan’s territory. His Majesty is rather angered and so had the Heavenly River Navy Fleet over to conduct a thorough investigation on His Royal Prince’s death.”
“Royal Prince Wen Dao was His Majesty’s most valued son. It is out of everyone’s expectation that His Royal Prince would pass so suddenly, not even his soul managed to survive. It is imaginable how furious His Majesty will be.” Yan Gongfu sighed, “Allow me to apologize to the Luli Clan for any offending actions we will be conducting in your territory, but the orders were given by His Majesty and it’s our duty to carry out His Majesty’s will.”
The Yue sisters were stunned, they found their hearts pounding in shock and anxiety. There were too many things happening in the Luli Clan’s territory, even Lu Binger had lost her calm just by thinking about the impact that would follow soon after.
Yan Gongfu continued, “The admiral is on the way to the Luli Clan’s sacred land for an official notice, while the vice-admiral is on the way to inspect the scene of his His Royal Highness’s death. The rest of us are tasked to lead a squadron each and search the Luli Clan’s territory for the murderers. I hope the Luli Clan’s brothers and sisters may grand us the permission to conduct our duties.”
“Please do, General Yan.”
Then immediately, Yan Gongfu gave a stern call. The navy gods brought out countless huge nets and cast them into the sky and earth. These nets were made from the radiative rays, once cast out, they would fade into the surroundings, becoming virtually imperceptible.
Lu Binger glanced at the far end of the other places and found there were many other squadrons that were doing the same. There were a million gods that were dispatched to the Luli Clan, meaning there would be a million nets that secured the perimeter.
Such level of security, not even a single mosquito or earthworm could leave without alerting the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, let alone a group of cultivators.
“I’m sorry if we offend the Luli Clan in anyway.” Yan Gongfu apologized again, he smiled, “But I need to run a check on the gods in your warship, may I have miss’s and mister’s permission?”
“Please do.”
Upon receiving their permission, Yan Gongfu ran a check on the Luli gods and cleared his suspicions on them. It was then, a Bi Fang celestial was seen flying over on a patch of fire cloud. Yan Gongfu ordered his men to stop and check the Bi Fang celestial, but Lu Wang laughed and said, “General Yan, we’ve checked this senior martial brother from the Bi Fang Celestial Race. He is clean.”
Yan Gongfu smiled, “It’s not that Mister Yue doesn’t have my wholehearted trust, but the murderer to Royal Prince Wen Dao is a sly and cunning one. His Majesty’s order is of utmost priority, I have no choice but to cover all of my bases. To be frank, I come from the Tian Yan Celestial Race and our eyes are said to be the best eyes of all living creatures. Although we only have one eye, we can see through all disguise, changes, Yuan Shen, and even reach the tiniest particles of nearly every object. If he is really clean, we will of course not hold him.”
Lu Wang looked at the Bi Fang celestial, he apologized, “Senior martial brother, I’m sorry but you have to be checked again.”
The Bi Fang celestial’s face turned dejected and he asked in a trembling tone, “What else now? Just how many times do I have to experience these terrifying inspections?”
Yan Gongfu smiled, “Don’t blame us brother, I’m just a man following his orders. If you are clean, we will of course let you go.”
He was only polite because this was the Luli Clan’s territory. The Bi Fang celestial may not be a Luli celestial, but there was no guarantee that he didn’t have any links to powerful families. Thus, it was always more prudent to treat strangers with respect.
Yan Gongfu’s divine eye opened and shot a godly ray to the Bi Fang celestial, while Lu Wang laughed, “General Yan, you are too cautious, we’ve already checked him several times…”
It was this moment, sounds of bone cracking and popping could be heard coming within the Bi Fang celestial’s mortal body. In the godly ray shot out from Yan Gongfu’s eyes, the Bi Fang celestial’s mortal body was twisted, from a slim and slender celestial, the muscles have bulged out and his bones were reforming!
Lu Wang and Lu Binger were dumbfounded to see the Bi Fang celestial turning into an Innate Golden Crow. He let out a shrill cry and bolted up to the sky like a flash of ray, trying to escape!
“Mister Yi!” Lu Wang and Lu BingEr had lost it and screamed in shock.
“Take him down!” Yan Gongfu ordered. The navy gods gave a stern yell and cast the nets, causing Zhong Yue to rammed into a net not far away from then. The gods roared and just when they were going to pull the net back, the Innate Golden Crow’s three talons have torn the net apart and flashed away again!
“Kill!” Yan Gongfu’s eyes shot out a huge beam of godly ray that went straight for Zhong Yue’s back. He was after all a Deity Overlord, this strike alone was able to kill Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue fluttered his wings and evaded the godly beam, then crashing into another net. This time, the gods on the warship leaped down and landed on the hidden nets, struck on him with their weapons.
In just a second, there were countless gods moving in midair trying to seize Zhong Yue while Yan Gongfu’s beam of godly ray miraculously stopped and turned around, flashing toward Zhong Yue as if it was conscious!
After tearing apart a few dozens of nets, the gods finally reached Zhong Yue and struck their attacks down on Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue ignored them and tore another net apart, but just before he could exit the net, Yan Gongfu’s godly ray had struck on him and snared him on the spot.
Not only did the godly ray ensnare his mortal body, but it also trapped down his Yuan Shen, arcane energy, and every other part of his being.
“Captured!” The gods cheered as they lunged their spears and pikes on Zhong Yue. The sounds of metals clanking could be heard and sparks of fire emerged from where the weapons contacted with his mortal body and were repelled back. Only the True Deities were able to pierced through his skin but even these wounds weren’t deep at all.
“What a strong mortal body!” The gods exclaimed. When Yan Gongfu was still rushing over to seize Zhong Yue himself, a divine saber flashed out from Zhong Yue’s forehead and cleaved the godly ray snaring him into halves.
Right after he freeing himself, Zhong Yue fluttered his wings and bolted away but was stopped by another net again. Behind him, the gods were chasing after him and lunged their attacks.
Yan Gongfu leaped onto his flagship and cast it to ram down right on Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue knew exactly how strong Yan Gongfu was and immediately, he broke the nets and left.
As the flagship rammed on the nets, the gods on the nets were thrown to the air. But they all flipped agilely in midair and landed on the decks, then keeping their nets back to them.
The flagship continued to chase after Zhong Yue while the gods activated the divine cannons and shot countless godly rays toward Zhong Yue!
Lu Wang hesitated, “Sister…”
“Chase!” Lu Binger answered decisively, “Mister Yi may not be the one who killed Royal Prince Wen Dao, but he has definitely killed Yang Changsheng. Regardless, he mustn’t be let free!”
Then, the Luli Clan’s warship also chased after Zhong Yue behind the Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s warships.
Zhong Yue’s speed was tremendous in his Innate Golden Crow, even leaving a trail of crumbling space that sucked all of the incoming godly rays into the void before they could even reach Zhong Yue.
Seeing that Zhong Yue wasn’t taken down just yet, Yan Gongfu was enraged and leaped out from the flagship, he had decided to hunt Zhong Yue himself!
Lu Binger and Lu Wang also followed behind Yan Gongfu as they too realized that the warships were too slow to catch up to Zhong Yue’s speed.
But just how fast was Zhong Yue? Even as a Deity Overlord, Yan Gongfu was still unable to catch up to Zhong Yue’s speed and was left further behind.
All of a sudden, auspicious clouds appeared in front of them out of nowhere. Flags written with the words of ‘Zhongyang’ fluttered in the winds and filled every corner of the sky.
