Chapter 642 The Big Dog

“Never thought there would be such a special place in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.”

On the deck, Young Master Wei clicked his tongue in wonder.

He was quite surprised by the dense Yin Qi in the area of the Ghost Rally Star.

It was the first time that he had seen the terribly corrosive Extreme Yin Force contained in the mist.

Beside his feet quietly sat an interstellar dog with a leopard-like body. Its body was covered in black fur, which was as sleek as if it had just been washed. It was sitting on its haunches on the deck. Strange rings of glowing inscriptions that were faintly discernible were circulating around it. It was said that this kind of interstellar dog could travel across the universe by itself. It also excelled at many things, such as tracking and killing. Once it recognized someone as its owner, it would no longer follow another person’s order for the rest of its life. This kind of dog was a very rare species. It fed on the fierce beasts in the universe and could also devour fairy crystals. Such dogs were usually the pets of most of the famous sects and clans, which could be quite pricy.

On the Universe Marvelous Species List, the interstellar dog ranked top 20.

Even when this interstellar dog was just quietly sitting there, the sailors of the Sword of Freedom still felt as if there was a fierce beast lurking around and breathing down their necks, sending chills down their spines.

As the fleet approached the Ghost Rally Star, the Yin Qi around them became increasingly dense.

“It’s the smell of death.”

Young Master Wei smiled.

He was very young and peerlessly handsome. When he smiled, he gave people an approachable feeling, just like a boy living next door.

But for some reason, everyone who had met him couldn’t help looking away and didn’t dare to steal another glance at him again. Also, a kind of uncontrollable fear would surge in their hearts. It was so even when he was not accompanied by the interstellar dog.

Young Master Wei silently stood at the front of the deck of the Sword of Freedom for a whole day and a whole night, as though he was mesmerized by the seemingly magnificent haze of Yin Qi.

As they got closer and closer to the Ghost Rally Star, the Yin Qi gradually became thicker and thicker, which now almost looked solid.

The Sword of Freedom had followed a specific route to make her way through the Yin Qi. The following flying ships had to speed up to narrow the distance between them and the Sword of Freedom.

“Young Master, the route ahead is very dangerous. How about you go back to the command cabin lest you get hurt by accident?”

Shan Tian came out in person and bowed to Young Master Wei with a very composed look.

Young Master Wei smiled and said, “I have never seen such scenery in the universe. This Ghost Rally Star is really special. Don’t worry about me. I will be careful. There will be no accident. Dumbo will keep me safe.”

He pointed to the interstellar dog beside his feet that was quietly sitting there, motionless, as if he was really dumbfounded. The name Dumbo was peculiar but appropriate.

Young Master Wei continued, “I’ve sent my men to investigate. Brother Shan, you’re the only captain who has entered and exited this area of Yin Qi multiple times. You’re very experienced. As for how we should proceed next and how to dodge the chucks of Yin Qi, it’s all up to you. I’ve already told all the other ships to follow your orders.”

Shan Tian said, “Young Master Wei, I’m so flattered. Since that’s the case, I’ll take command at ease. Nevertheless, the route here is constantly changing. Our fleet is a little too large. It’s also the first time that I’ve led so many flying ships into this area. It’s quite different from the alone trips I had made in the past. So, I’m worried that I might make some errors…”

Young Master Wei replied politely, “It doesn’t matter. Just do your best.”

His posture and tone were so calm that he didn’t seem like the powerful man who had ordered to lock down the Opposite Bank Star.

Shan Tian returned to the command cabin and began to form a plan in his head.

In another big warehouse not far away, his wife and daughter, his elder sister named Shan Yunxiu, and Dao Lan were all there.

Behind the Sword of Freedom were the three flying ships of the Shan family. The highest commander was Shan Zhengfeng, the patriarch of the family, who was in charge of the High Mountain.

In addition, there were more than 300 people in total accompanying them, including the elders, Executives, Tang Masters, and other members of the family and sailors.

Half of the members and assets of the Shan family were on these three flying ships.

Shan Jian, the sixth son who was regarded as the successor of the patriarch of the family, stayed on the Opposite Bank Star to take care of the family.

“Patriarch, the flag signal of the front ship tells us to keep up and narrow the distance between the two ships down to less than 100 meters.” The captain of the Shan family driving the flying ship asked for instructions in a booming voice.

“Narrow it down to less than 100 meters?”

“If not careful, the ships will crash.”

The expressions of the high-level members of the Shan family in the cabin changed.

The Shan family was the number one family on the Opposite Bank Star. It could also be considered the second-to-none interstellar sailing family in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. The flying ships and sailors they had were comparable to those of the Heavenly Devil Sect and other supreme sects. However, what determined the status of a force was not the flying ships but the top cultivators it had. The strongest cultivator of the Shan family was a senior who was still half a step away from the General Realm. Therefore, the comprehensive strength of the Shan family was much inferior to that of the first-class sects, such as the Heavenly Devil Sect.

Nevertheless, the high-level members of the family had all started traveling by flying ships since childhood. They knew what kind of danger it meant for such a fleet to reduce the safe distance to within 100 meters. If they were not careful, the flying ships would collide with one another, and both the ships and the people on board might be destroyed. In particular, in such a dense mist of Yin Qi, it was dozens of times more dangerous to do that.

“Follow the order.”

Shan Zhengfeng called the shot with a calm face.

Then, the High Mountain also sent out a series of flag signals.

The fleet at the rear all reacted.

“D*mn it, they want our ship to get so close to theirs? Is this a joke?”

The second last one was the battle flying ship of the Wind Sword Party, a first-rate sect in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region.

The former head of the Wind Sword Party was hacked to death by Li Mu in the battle of the Tomb of the God of Sin on the Divine Land. Since then, the Wind Sword Party had held a deep-seated hatred. So, they were quite enthusiastic in this siege against Li Mu. Of course, that was also because the Wind Sword Party hoped to please Young Master Wei. Thus, Mo Wen, the current head of the Wind Sword Party, had come to participate in this mission in person.

Catching the flag signal sent by the front ship, Mo Wen couldn’t help but curse.

“Head, what should we do now?” the captain of the flying ship asked gingerly.

Mo Wen was only 30 years old. He was the direct disciple of the former head of the Wind Sword Party. His talent in swordsmanship was unparalleled, and he was the top swordsman of the Wind Sword Party. However, his talent in cultivation could not make up for his impatience and brutality. He was self-righteous and self-willed. Without thinking, he said, “Keep the distance about 500 meters. It’ll be fine as long as we don’t lose track of the front ship.”

“Yes, sir.”

Half an hour later.

“Kaboom!”

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion at the rear of the fleet. Glaring sparks broke through the haze of Yin Qi, which was faintly discernible thousands of meters back.

Layers of energy fluctuations passed through space and surreptitiously spread to the front.

“What happened?”

Shan Tian immediately rushed out of the command cabin.

Young Master Wei, who had been quietly enjoying the “beautiful scenery” on the deck, also frowned and looked back.

At the rear of the fleet, the main body of the last flying ship had been smashed by the hill-like solid chuck of Yin Qi.

The tactical deployment had been disrupted and caused the explosion. In the rampant fire, the flying ship of the Heavenly Deployment Sect became as vulnerable as a small boat that had been overturned by the huge waves, which rapidly broke down.

“A flying ship crash!”

In less than 15 minutes, the flying ship was reduced to fragments and scattered in the vast universe. The disciples of the Heavenly Deployment Sect, the sailors, and dozens of masters Young Master Wei sent there on that flying ship were instantly engulfed by the Yin Qi.

There were less than a dozen people who managed to escape from the flying ship of the Heavenly Deployment Sect, who then landed on the flying ship of the Wind Sword Party with great difficulty.

The breakout of such an unexpected disaster made everyone’s blood run cold.

Particularly, among those powerful cultivators who had died in the crash were a man who was half a step away from the General Realm and several people at the peak of the Soldier Realm. The people on other flying ships helplessly watched them being hit and ground into mince by the mist of Yin Qi and dissipate in the void. The horrifying scene made everyone feel as if the shadow of death was just looming over their heads.

“Sh*t, why didn’t they follow the flag signal?”

Incensed, Shan Tian let loose a torrent of abuse.

“The flying ship of the Wind Sword Party didn’t keep up with us, so that the flying ship of the Heavenly Deployment Sect behind it could not enter the safe area before the route was blocked and got smashed by the chunks of Yin Qi closing in on them…” Shan Tian roared, “What were these idiots of the Wind Sword Party doing? They are the murderers.”

A few of his trusted subordinates on the side quickly came over and grabbed hold of the furious Shan Tian so that he could calm down.

The Wind Sword Party was quite powerful. They were certainly stronger than the Shan family. Therefore, the others could not let Shan Tian go on, or they would breed enmity with the Wind Sword Party.

But Shan Tian’s rage stuck around. His chest vehemently rose and fell.

Young Master Wei furrowed his brows.

He had heard from Shan Tian that this route was extremely dangerous. It changed a lot and was difficult to predict. However, he never expected it could change like this.

“Bring the people of the Wind Sword Party here,” he said blandly.

Moments later.

A blood-curdling scream rang out on the deck of the Sword of Freedom.

Mo Wen, the head of the Wind Sword Party, kept floundering and wailing.

Dumbo, the interstellar dog, was biting Mo Wen’s limbs. It had torn off his arms and legs and swallowed them in big mouthfuls. The scene was too bloody and brutal to look at, which appalled all the spectators around.

“Young Master, spare me. Young Master, please spare my life…” Mo Wen, who had been overbearing only a moment ago, was now covered in blood and begging for mercy with snot and tears flowing down his face.

In the pool of blood, apart from Mo Wen, the head of the Wind Sword Party, who was struggling desperately, there were more than a dozen bones. That was what had left of that captain of the Wind Sword Party, who had been bitten and devoured by the interstellar dog called Dumbo.

Mo Wen, the head of the Wind Sword Party, who could be regarded as one of the top figures in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region, was eventually killed by the dog in the cries of pleadings and the bloody violence.

Throughout the whole thing, Young Master Wei had not punished Mo Wen in person, nor had he sealed his cultivation.

But Dumbo, the interstellar dog, was really frightening.

Mo Wen, who was at the peak of the Soldier Realm and in robust health, turned out to be no match for Dumbo.

After watching the whole execution and seeing the blood on the deck that still had not dried up, the people around were all as silent as cicadas in winter.

When he got angry, this seemingly easy-going young man in black who had worn a smiley face instantly became as fearsome as Death from hell.

“I hope that you people would not do anything stupid like that Mo Wen from the Wind Sword Party.”

As soon as the young man in black beckoned, Dumbo leaped back to his feet and quietly sat on its heels as if he was in a trance again.

“I don’t care how many people will die and how many battle flying ships I will lose on this trip.” Young Master Wei’s gaze was aloof. He didn’t seem much furious. His eyes swept across the crowd as he said slowly, “All I care about is whether you will listen to me or not.”

No one dared to meet his eyes.

Young Master Wei turned around and walked to the bow of the flying ship step by step. Without looking back, he said nonchalantly, “I have said that everybody should listen to Brother Shan Tian’s instructions. But some idiots just didn’t listen… Next, if anyone continues to turn a deaf ear to my orders, then I will have to invite Dumbo to another hearty meal.”

The fleet set off again.

Shan Tian let out a sigh.

It was not enough.

Half a day passed.

“Big Brother, that Wei something has carried Xian’er onto the deck.” A trusted subordinate of Shan Tian’s suddenly hurried into the command cabin.

Shan Tian’s face paled.

He rushed outside and saw that on the deck outside, his daughter, Xuan’er, was sitting on Young Master Wei’s shoulders.

Young Master Wei was talking in a very easy-going manner. He even made the interstellar dog lie on the deck and let Shan Xian’er stroke his fur.

“This big dog is such a good boy.” Shan Xuan’er laughed happily and leaped for joy.

The naive girl had no idea that just half a day ago, this adorable dog had devoured two cultivators in the Soldier Realm.

Shan Tian’s wife was standing on the side with a troubled look on her face, too scared to go nearer. As for Shan Yunxiu and Dao Lan, they were also on the deck, looking flustered and undecided.
