NOVPUBEvery time he heard about Ye Xin’s situation, his master Wei Wushuang always managed to get reliable information from Ye Xin’s master.
Originally Lin Qian did not quite understand how Wei Wushuang could receive news so promptly.
It wasn’t until just now, when he saw the crystal Wei Wushuang took out, that Lin Qian recognized what exactly it was.
After acquiring the treasure trove of the Dangyuan Sect, Lin Qian had gained a broader knowledge of the items in this world. The information he understood was no longer limited to the Coastal State.
And what his master had previously taken out was called a Communication Crystal.
As the name suggests, this Soul Device, forged from various unique crystals, is used for transmitting messages.
However, Communication Crystals are always made in pairs or in greater numbers, as only those from the same batch can send and receive messages.
Obviously, his master Wei Wushuang and the female Sword Saint of the Divine Sword Sect had a set of Communication Crystals from the same batch, hence they could exchange messages with each other.
If anyone said that his master and that female Sword Saint had no connection, Lin Qian would not believe it even if it killed him.
"What’s with that look, boy? Don’t just stand there; go welcome them. They’re already beside the ship," Wei Wushuang said in annoyance upon seeing the look in Lin Qian’s eyes.
Not quite understanding, Lin Qian replied, "Master, what do you mean by that? What’s this about being beside my ship?"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sound of air breaking fiercely rang out, and a Swift Soldier from the Sky Breaking Realm appeared beside Lin Qian, kneeling on one knee: "Your Majesty, intruders are approaching the warship. The battle cannons are on first-level readiness. If the enemies make a move, we can shoot them down at any moment."
"..." Lin Qian fell silent for a moment before yelling, "Shoot them down? Did you not see that the queen is also there!"
After that, Lin Qian helplessly looked at Wei Wushuang: "Master, if you’re going to inform them of their location, you should discuss it with me first. How could you let them come directly?"
As his words fell, Lin Qian also hurriedly left the spacious building, leaving behind the others who were still somewhat stunned and bemused.
At the same time, the clouds and mist around the warship where Lin Qian was had been artificially dispersed, clearly revealing the vessel’s massive hull.
Especially within those dark and ominous looking gun ports, the flickering Soul Light contained powerful vibrations, intimidating to anyone who sensed them.
Facing the gun ports that flashed with Soul Light, at the forefront of the floating women was a female swordsman with a sword in one hand and furrowed brows, looking at those gun barrels aiming her way.
She could clearly feel the strength of the Soul Power fluctuations contained in them.
Even though she could protect herself if all the gun ports fired simultaneously, the Soul Power fluctuations generated by the impact could potentially kill the disciples behind her, or leave them severely injured if they were lucky enough to survive.
"Senior sister, what on earth is going on?" Next to the woman was another with full silver hair, looking pale, "Didn’t you say we were coming to find the Wanxiang Sect? What is all this?"
Not just the silver-haired woman, the sword-wielding woman also showed a look of surprise.
"Madmen, if you dare to come a step closer, you will face a counterattack. Leave immediately," warned a voice that emerged from nowhere above the warship.
Inside the ship, within a room, countless crystal panels were suspended, intertwined and connected by the threads of an Array. Dozens of scholars moved about among them.
Displayed on a Tactical Mirror was the scene of that group of women.
The sword-wielding woman and the silver-haired woman stood at the forefront, with a group of female disciples chirping behind them like swallows and orioles. However, there were also a few male disciples, though their number was only a handful by comparison.
In front of the tactical mirror, a scholar frowned as he looked at the leading sword-wielding woman.
It was she who had scattered the cloud mist enveloping the warship with a single slash, exposing their position. However, as he hadn’t detected any malice from the other party, he cautiously warned them to leave.
If they questioned or approached, he certainly would not show mercy, and would order to open fire.
In midair, after pondering for a moment, the sword-wielding woman spoke, "Let’s go, let’s leave this place first. If we force our way in, the disciples could be in danger."
Among the disciples behind her, only a sparse five were in the Sky Breaking Realm, capable of floating in the air by themselves. The others were standing within a barrier she had created using her soul power.
If they truly came to blows with this warship, the disciples behind her would likely face grim odds.
Among those five female disciples in the Sky Breaking Realm, they guarded a young woman in white, who now stepped forward, "Master, let me try."
"Hmm?" The sword-wielding woman looked at her disciple, puzzled, not understanding what she intended to do.
At this time, the young woman had walked up to the sword-wielding woman’s side and looked in the direction of the warship, somewhat nervously calling out, "Um... we’re not enemies, do you recognize me?"
The woman was none other than Ye Xin, and the sword-wielding woman beside her was none other than the renowned Sword Saint of Coastal State.
As for the silver-haired woman, she was naturally Mei Yuexia, the Sect Master of Divine Sword Sect.
The Sword Saint had promised to take them to seek shelter with Wanxiang Sect, yet they hadn’t gone to the gates of Wanxiang Sect, but instead arrived in this midair location, where with a single sword slash the cloud mist was split, revealing the massive warship.
Upon seeing this warship, all the disciples were struck with dismay, especially when its cannons were pointed at them, instilling a chilling fear.
However, Ye Xin vaguely felt that this warship might be related to Lin Qian, the person who had spoken out earlier; although they could not see him, he should be able to observe their situation.
Ye Xin suspected that this person who had spoken might be a mysterious benefactor called upon by Lin Qian. If that was the case, then they might recognize her.
But her heart wasn’t completely certain, trusting that there should be no problem in trying.
Mei Yuexia, observing Ye Xin’s actions, chuckled lightly, "Xinxin, how could a person capable of controlling such a warship recognize us? I guess my sister might have misunderstood something?"
The Sword Saint also frowned deeply, and after a while, she slowly shook her head, "I don’t understand the specific situation myself; I’m just going by the message I received, which said that the people of Wanxiang Sect are on that warship."
"Ah?" Hearing her sister’s words, Mei Yuexia looked at the huge warship with astonishment, "When did Wanxiang Sect get a hold of such a warship?"
At the same time, in the command room of that warship’s cabin, the scholar in front of the tactical mirror saw the beautiful young woman stepping forward and felt a surge of panic and unease.
"This humble official didn’t know that Her Majesty the Empress has graced us with her presence, and to have offended you is truly a crime deserving of death!" As the Sword Saint and Mei Yuexia were discussing, suddenly a voice emanating an apology came from the direction of the warship.
"Her Majesty the Empress?"
Everyone turned to look at Ye Xin, their eyes filled with surprise and a look of incomprehension.
