Chapter 789 Clouds Cover the Way Home
This is just the beginning.
The black-clothed mage destroyed the wind magic array on the Limitless Heavenly Ship, leaving behind these words and flying away. Leonardo recognized Zeman II at a glance. Just as he was about to catch up, Gu Tianyou called him back with his divine sense. So did Xin Jisi and Mihawk III.
With Leonardo's strength, Zeman II was definitely no match for him. However, there was no point in leaving him behind. Instead, he would alert the enemy and let them know the true strength that his side had been hiding. Zeman II had appeared, and there was still La Osisi who hadn't appeared. Since they had attacked, it was impossible for them to have only two people.
The Federation's puppet technology had already reached an unbelievable level. Gu Tianyou had already experienced this deeply after the battle at the Crimson Dragon Mountain. Leonardo once said that puppets were a combination of magical and technological civilizations, as well as the pinnacle of alchemists. They have no emotions or pain, Therefore, they didn't know fear and didn't have any sympathy or hesitation. They could store magic elemental energy and release magic power comparable to that of a top mage in battle. In close combat, they could also display the level of a top knight with their steel bodies and spirit jade elemental energy. They could be said to be the pinnacle of a weapon of war.
Sacred Leaf Town had built a secret base in the Wood Ancestor Spirit World, led by Young Master Yi, specializing in the research of scientific and technological weapons. Little Zeman, who had been captured in the Battle of Scarlet Dragon Mountain, was currently leading a magical puppet laboratory there. He could be said to be a top genius in the field of science, but he was lacking in the use of magic arrays. Therefore, the research base of Sacred Leaf Town had been stagnant in the research of magic puppet technology. He had asked Gu Tianyou more than once to buy him a magic puppet with a complete magic array.
This item was a hero-level controlled item in the Federation. Not only was it not allowed to be traded by the public, even the official departments had to go through a strict approval process to use it. Xin Jisi went through many channels but failed. This time, Gu Tianyou seemed to see hope of obtaining a top-notch puppet.
The black-clothed mage hurriedly came and went. His magic elemental energy was five elements and five colors, and the others on board were not even aware of it. However, the Limitless Heavenly Ark suddenly slowed down, causing people to be somewhat surprised and caught off guard. Leonardo quickly obeyed God's instructions and announced to the entire ship that the Heavenly Ark's magic array had malfunctioned, requiring a day or so of rest. Those who are in a hurry can leave alone. There are hotels and dining rooms on board, so it won't be a problem for them to settle down.
Xu Lingbo asked curiously, "What did you look up at just now? Why did the boat suddenly slow down?"
After hearing Leonardo's shout, Gu Tianyou made a silent gesture. After Leonardo finished speaking, he said, "Do you hear me? There's something wrong with the ship. Do you want to go back to your own ship?"
Xu Lingbo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, this boat is fine. My father meant for me to follow this boat to Sacred Leaf Town, and then wait there until he returns from Sunset City before going home with him."
"You don't seem to like going back to your own boat?" Gu Tianyou smiled and asked, "I'm just curious. Since your father chose to bring you out, why would he let you go to Holy Leaf Town alone to wait for him? This seems to be a bit illogical, unless there are people or things on your ship that pose a threat to you or that you don't like."
"Aiya, you're so smart." Xu Lingbo made a fuss. "Our ship was bought by several big timber merchants, "Even though it's not as big as the Limitless Heavenly Ark in terms of size, it's still more than enough to cross the sea. Furthermore, Daddy and the others have invited a few powerful people to protect them. So, we didn't need to follow behind your ship. It was the Heavenly Capital Divine King who sent a steward over. This person is truly annoying."
"Understood." Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "No wonder you don't want to leave this ship no matter what."
Xu Lingbo said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't want to get off this boat." "Are you going out alone?" Gu Tianyou asked.
Gu Tianyou nodded his head and said, "I boarded a ship in the Divine Capital and sent some things to Sacred Leaf Town."
"So you're also a businessman," Xu Lingbo said.
Just as the two of them were talking, a group of people suddenly came from the bow of the ship. The leader was a white-faced middle-aged man who did not need to be seen. He walked straight towards Xu Lingbo and said angrily, "Miss Xu, you are very disobedient. Do you know that your father is carrying a lawsuit? After a few years as the little princess of Taihe Gang, you really think that you are the master of something?"
"Apothecary Sun, don't go too far." Xu Lingbo said angrily, "I can't afford to hide from you, can I? It doesn't make sense for you to force Daddy to do things for you. Now, you still want to force me to be a coward for you. You've done such a great job, aren't you afraid that Martial Uncle Lin, who worked in the Imperial City, will find you to settle the score?"
"Return it to your Martial Uncle?" Medicine Master Sun mockingly said, "Your ancestors of the Nianci Sect have all been killed. Lin Wenhua is just a palace madam in the Imperial City. He is not a nobody. He doesn't even dare to breathe in front of my Prince. Do you have the nerve to use him to manipulate me?"
"Bah!" Xu Lingbo breathed heavily and clenched his teeth in anger. He stared at Apothecary Sun and said, "Surnamed Sun, are you determined to force the people to rebel against the coffin?"
"What do you mean?" Medicine Master Sun's eyes flashed with a divine light. He coldly looked at Xu Lingbo, then looked around and sneered, "Little girl, are you planning to toast without being punished?" After a slight pause, he said, "With just these few pieces of materials, you want to create the rebellion of the Heavenly Capital Divine King?"
"It's better to rebel than to let a rat like you have a good time!" Xu Lingbo slapped the table and shouted, "I'll risk it today." After saying that, the few young men who had accompanied her immediately gathered around her and stood beside her.
Apothecary Sun chuckled dryly. He looked at Gu Tianyou and said, "Last warning, the Divine Palace of the Heavenly Capital is handling matters. Everyone who is irrelevant should scram to the side."
"It's none of your business," Xu Lingbo said. "Just stand aside and bear witness." He then said to Apothecary Sun, "The Heavenly Capital Divine King's Mansion is powerful, but it is not as powerful as the Heavens. Today, I, Xu Lingbo, was forced to rebel by your Apothecary Sun. You are also to blame for delaying the Heavenly Capital Divine King's plan!"
Gu Tianyou raised his hands with a smile and said, "I just saw the liveliness. I have no intention of interfering in your affairs." That's what he said, but his butt remained motionless as he sat on the spot and said, "But since I want to see the liveliness, the closer I get, the clearer I can see."
Apothecary Sun snorted coldly and said, "I've already prepared a heavenly net for this old man. Don't you fear splashing your entire body with blood when you make your move later?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lingbo's expression turned cold. Without hesitation, he shouted, "Attack!"
With a bang, one of the three black adventurers fell to the ground. His companion held the smoking gun at an angle. Several young men who were beside Xu Lingbo attacked together, their swords and daggers resting on Xu Lingbo's neck.
Xu Lingbo's face turned ashen and he was both shocked and angry. "What are you doing?" He shouted.
"Good birds perch on trees." A young man said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, young miss."
"Can't you see what they're doing?" Medicine Master Sun smiled proudly, "Little girl, is this the heavenly net you set up?"
"Not all of them." Gu Tianyou suddenly interrupted, "Count me in."
