Chapter 210: A Plot

　　Yunxiao said, “I see, thank you for telling us! Take this ox back.” When he saw that the disciple was about to reject again, he immediately said in a cold voice, “If you refuse again, we may change our mind and kill you all.”

　　The few disciples of Infinity Sect looked at each other. In the end, they took the Golden Ox with great joy and thanked Yunxiao and Duan Yue before leaving at top speed.

　　“What do you think of this, lad? Should we spread the story of the Constellation Sect’s killing of the other hunters?” Duan Yue turned and asked Yunxiao. Vaguely, he had taken the latter as his backbone. Although he still argued with the other, after spending some time together, his heart was already filled with admiration for this young man.

　　Yunxiao glanced at him and said, “Lad? Call me Young Master Yun.”

　　“Fu*k you!” Duan Yue cursed. “Can you at least show a little bit of respect for a senior in martial arts? I’m a two-stars Martial Emperor after all, and I’m considered a well-known supreme figure in Skyfragrance! How could you be so impolite to me?”

　　“Do you want to know what we should do next?”

　　“I do.”

　　“Then call me Young Master Yun.”

　　“…”

　　While fuming, Duan Yue gnashed his teeth and said, “Young Master…Yun!”

　　Yunxiao smiled and said, “That’s more like it. Although the Flying Sword Sect, Tiger Slayer Sect, and Foursquare Library are weaker than the Constellation Sect, they are considered giants in a small place like Skyfragrance Empire. It is a good thing to stir up conflicts between them, and we can take the opportunity to steal the Blueluan warship.”

　　“That’s true.” Duan Yue nodded slightly, but when he listened to the last part of Yunxiao’s plan, his eyes got big and he cried out shockingly, “What…what did you say? You want to steal the Blueluan warship? Are you insane! That is a sixth-tier warship! It’s like a palace and unstoppable! Even if you manage to steal it, the Constellation Sect will hunt us down to the end of the world, not to mention there is no way you can take it away!”

　　“You underestimate the Constellation Sect. A Blueluan warship is nothing to them. Even if they do send someone to hunt us, it will be at most for the sake of faces.” Yunxiao’s face grew dark and said, “To save you, I’ve lost three Tigerking chariots, but you never expressed your gratitude. And now, you’re making such a fuss when I’ve only asked you to slightly compensate me.”

　　“I’ll think of a way to find you three Tigerking chariots.” Duan Yue’s face was pale. To him, the Constellation Sect was a colossal existence.

　　Yunxiao said disdainfully, “According to Heng Yuan, the strongest warrior of the Constellation Sect in Qinghai is just a one-star Martial Emperor named Xu Feng. You can unlock your seal for an hour, which is more than enough to kill him. As for the Blueluan warship, I’ll think of a way to control it.”

　　Duan Yue’s face flickered as he said, “If we really kill Xu Feng and steal the warship, we will completely be at odds with the Constellation Sect, a monster. I’m afraid there won’t be much room for us on the whole Heavenly Martial Continent after that. There’s no joking about it. You’d better think twice.”

　　Yunxiao said, “Don’t forget that you were the one who the Constellation Sect wanted to kill in the beginning! Now that Heng Yuan is missing but you are still alive, they will definitely come to you even if you don’t provoke them. It is you who needs to think twice, not me!”

　　That tempted Duan Yue instantly. The Constellation Sect had never hesitated to send people to kill them, so why couldn’t he fight back? And, since he was still alive, they would not let him go so easily. But, he was still worried. “It is said that a Blueluan warship can borrow the power of the heaven and earth, and a full-power attack unleashed from it can instantly kill even a Martial Emperor.”

　　With a confident smile, Yunxiao said, “Don’t worry, you just have to focus on dealing with that Xu Feng. A peak Blueluan warship does have such power, but it requires six third-tier alchemists to host the arrays in it to achieve that. It’s a pity that the one owned by the Constellation Sect in Qinghai is just a defective warship. It can be used to scare people, yes, but only in dreams can its full power be brought into play.”

　　Duan Yue’s eyes flickered as he listened. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, “Alright! I’ll throw caution to the wind and do this together with you! It’s the Constellation Sect who betrayed me first, so they can’t blame me for this!”

　　After that, Yunxiao took out a Bluewolf chariot. Both of them stood inside, and then the chariot turned into a beam of blue light as it sped over the sea.

　　Half a day later, the story of the Constellation Sect sending people to kill Ma Wendi and others and seizing the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon spread like wildfire throughout Qinghai.

　　“I can’t believe Lord Ma Wendi and the others were killed by people sent by Constellation Sect. Tsk, tsk, this is really a piece of shocking news!”

　　“They were seven Martial Grandmasters, and each was a person of exceptional ability. And yet, all of them are dead. A hole has been poked through the sky this time!”

　　“I’m a little skeptical. The Constellation Sect is extremely strong, but its foundation is not in the South after all. So, why would it offend three local tyrants like this? This is too unwise.”

　　“What unwise? No gentleman has a petty mind and no true man is without venom! I call this wise!”

　　“This is not wise, this is perverse!”

　　“It is said that the leader of the Constellation Sect is a pervert. He is already hundreds of years old, but he’s still looking for twelve to thirteen years old girls to play with.”

　　“Shh! Lower your voice! How dare you say that! Are you insane? Are you tired of living?”

　　“I…What did I say? I didn’t say anything…Come, let’s drink!”

　　It was the greatest taboo in Qinghai to murder someone and seize their treasure. Almost all warriors here were hunters, and what they feared the most was someone sneak attacking them when they were hunting. If anyone did that and it was learned by others, he would be despised by the whole Qinghai. After the news spread, the Flying Sword Sect, Tiger Slayer Sect, and Foursquare Library had begun sending a large number of experts into Qinghai in just half a day. It was said that there were even Martial Emperors among them.

　　Although the three sects could not be compared with the Constellation Sect, who was ranked among the top sects of the continent, they were at least local giants who could not bear being bullied. Besides, the experts they lost were Martial Grandmasters, who were pillars of their sects.

　　The situation in Qinghai suddenly became tense. Sects shrunk their range of activities, and independent hunters rarely went out to sea. An atmosphere of uncertainty hung over Qinghai, and for a moment, even the streets began to empty.

　　Two days later, inside Constellation Sect’s sixth-tier Blueluan warship…

　　Several alchemists were fixing a few arrays while various precious materials were being constantly brought over.

　　The Blueluan warship was like a mini moving castle. It was many times larger than a Tigerking chariot, blotting out the sky as it hovered over Qinghai. Since the story of the Constellation Sect sneak attacking fellow hunters spread, the warship had begun to get very busy. Various resources were brought up in large quantities while the number of alchemists also spiked suddenly, all of whom were busied fixing all kinds of damage throughout the warship.

　　But, the other Blueluan warship it faced was the opposite. It became very quiet, hovering there lifelessly without moving and showing no sign of activities.

　　Due to its overly large size, problems that occurred in a Blueluan warship could hardly be fixed on time. And since the one owned by Constellation Sect was a defective warship, which was mainly used as a facade, the condition of its interior was even worse. But now, Constellation Sect suddenly began to fix it with a huge amount of resources, and that had instantly attracted wild guesses and intensified the atmosphere.

　　These alchemists were responsible for repairing several offensive arrays. The Constellation Sect was a supreme existence in Qinghai, so the warship’s offensive arrays had been neglected for a long time. Now that they were required to be repaired urgently, these alchemists were already extremely tired from all the work. There were also a large number of alchemists scattered in other places to carry out restoration work. The whole warship looked busy.

　　“This Blueluan warship is too insane. With the four of us working together and so many materials, we’ve only managed to restore one array.”

　　“It’s hard to imagine how strong the alchemist who refined this warship is!”

　　“Nonsense! It takes at least several or even dozens of sixth-tier alchemists to refine such a large warship. Had it not been because we have the array diagrams, do you think the few of us can restore its arrays?”

　　“Tsk, tsk, refining a Blueluan warship…must be a grand and exciting scene to behold. I wish I had a chance to witness it.”

　　“Hehe! You all have good potential. You’ll get a chance someday.”

　　The alchemists were taken aback, and they all turned around. The last remark was not said by one of them, but a smiling young man who stood not far away.

　　An alchemist’s expression changed drastically, and he shouted, “Who are you? How did you enter here?”

　　The faces of four warriors in the room changed as well, and they had surrounded the young man in a flash, each taking out his weapon and looking alert. The four of them were all eight-stars Martial Lords, but none of them discovered the young man’s trace. So, even though his aura was just of a one-star Martial Lord, they dared not underestimate him.

　　This place was the central control area of the Blueluan warship, with not only the main hover array, but also more than three hundred auxiliary arrays, each connected with the other. It was the most important area on the ship. The Constellation Sect’s main purpose of stationing four Martial Lords here was to direct the transportation of resources, and they never thought someone would trespass here. After all, numerous experts had been stationed throughout the warship, and not even a fly could come inside.

　　“I remember you! You are the boy from Manduo Trading Company who brought Primordial Crystals!” An alchemist cried out suddenly. That was how Yunxiao snaked into the warship.

　　“Hehe! You do have a good memory. That’s why I said you all have good potential. Work hard and fight for a chance to go to the Sea of Soul Formation in the future. Now please move aside, I want to study your main array.”

　　While smiling, Yunxiao walked toward the main array.

　　In the center of the room, a huge array was carved on a kind of beautiful stone material. Surrounding the array were complicated tadpole-like characters, which were connected with countless nearby various arrays. This was the core of the whole warship, the place that supplied energy to everything.

　　“Stop it right there!”

　　A Martial Lord shouted. Light flashed in his hand as a sharp sword slashed through the air, sweeping toward Yunxiao’s neck. He did not dare to be careless, so he had attacked with his full force.

　　The other three Martial Lords produced their weapons as well—a spear, a war hammer, and a chain. They targeted him from three directions, making sure that he could not run away.
