Chapter 318: No Mercy (1)

"The Tu Family? The battleship’s emblem?" Wu Yuan's expression darkened.

During the past three months, after Qiong Sea King made his breakthrough, Wu Yuan acquired a Redmoon voidrealm jade from the Redmoon Immortal Tower for Qiong Sea King. However, his privileges only extended to the eighth tier for now.

With access to the Redmoon Immortal Realm, Qiong Sea King explored the library and numerous other locations throughout Twin Jade City. Thus, the Qiong Sea King had a fair understanding of the situation in Fengchuan City.

Could it be that Tu Chi truly intends to fight me over such a trivial matter? Wu Yuan found the notion incredulous.

He had been cautious during his stay in Fengchuan City, remaining within the confines of the Redmoon Immortal Tower and avoiding unnecessary interactions with others. The Tu Family? He only interacted with Tu Chi, and just that once.

If it was truly an escalation of that minor dispute, then considering the number of cultivators the Tu Family of Fengchuan City had offended over the years, how could the family persevere until today?

Or perhaps I possess something that Tu Chi deems worth the risk? A thought flickered across Wu Yuan's mind.

Wu Yuan reacted quickly. The moment he sensed the disturbance, he switched over to manually controlling Black Sun with his Soul Force, propelling the flying boat battleship forward without sparing the fuel.

Boom! Black Sun accelerated, speed escalating from 20 li per second to 30, 40, 60, 90... Within a few heartbeats, Black Sun reached its maximum speed of 130 li per second!

This surpassed the top speeds of many ninth-stage Golden Core cultivators.

"Master, the gap is widening." Qiong Sea King reported.

Wu Yuan nodded gravely, his expression serious. Though he was confident in his strength, the other party hailed from an Amethyst Cradle family, and were the local big shots. What motive could they have for trying to catch up to him?

If he were to eliminate them, it might attract the attention of the Amethyst Cradle Reverend.

With my current power, I’m in the top-tier of Golden Core Superiors. Wu Yuan deliberated. But I’m not yet prepared to face an Amethyst Cradle Reverend.

Amethyst Cradle cultivators were capable of overpowering Golden Core cultivators effortlessly.

While it was not exceedingly uncommon for Qi Sea cultivators to challenge Golden Core Superiors, it was far more difficult for a Golden Core cultivator to challenge an Amethyst Cradle Reverend.

Hence, Wu Yuan opted to avoid unnecessary conflict.

...

On a bronze-hued battleship that cut through the air with astonishing speed, a young man with silver hair, Tu Chi, and a man in green robes, Fang Youlong, exchanged glances as their expressions shifted subtly.

"What speed," Fang Youlong remarked solemnly, his voice tinged with doubt. "Master Tu, are you certain you did not misjudge him? Did you not claim that Li Xia's battleship is rated eighth-grade spirit equipment?"

"But such velocity?" Fang Youlong gestured towards the display on the control platform, showcasing the airspeed indicator.

"It is, at the very least, a fourth-grade spirit flying boat, and definitely a top-tier one, valued at no less than 20,000 catties of ethercrystal," Fang Youlong stated in a grave tone.

At the mention of 20,000 catties of ethercrystal, the faces of the nearby black-robed followers twisted in shock. To them, this sum was beyond astronomical.

Could there be an obstacle in my path ahead? Wu Yuan pondered, his mind racing through the possibilities.

Without hesitation, he altered Black Sun’s course, speeding off in a different direction. However, a flying boat, unlike a cultivator, struggled to navigate sharp turns at such high speeds.

This gave Tu Chi ample time to close the distance between them.

"You realized it?" Tu Chi's voice dripped with madness as he taunted, "Hmph! There is no corner of Fengchuan City’s territory untouched by the Tu Family's influence. Wherever you may flee, I will still stop you."

Without hesitation, Tu Chi contacted the Golden Core cultivators of his family through the voidrealm. He was relatively strong for his age, and thus attained a high status within the Tu Family.

“Young Master Chi,” Fang Youlong felt a twinge of concern, believing that Tu Chi was consumed by recklessness. There was no need for such extreme measures.

But how could Fang Youlong understand Tu Chi's thoughts and emotions?

"We have already offended him," Tu Chi said, his gaze cold and calculating. "If we let him go now, he might retaliate in the future. Better to take advantage of his current weakness and eliminate him early. "

...

They’re still on our tail? I've already attempted to lose them, but they’re like rabid dogs refusing to let go. Wu Yuan’s anger simmered beneath the surface.

He didn't seek conflict, but the Tu Family was seriously testing his patience.

Since you’re tired of living, I’ll send you on your way. Wu Yuan’s eyes glinted with a chilling resolve. "Qiong Sea."

"Master, I am ready for battle," Qiong Sea King responded, his own fury matching Wu Yuan's.

"Mm. Steer the flying boat and be prepared to utilize the ethercrystal weapon when the time is right," Wu Yuan instructed.

As a fourth-grade battleship, it was equipped with a powerful ethercrystal weapon that Wu Yuan had specifically chosen and further modified.

Its destructive capabilities were remarkable, but it had its limitations, namely requiring a long period to accumulate energy, and having a limited variety of attacks.

Nevertheless, its sheer power was unrivaled.

Qiong Sea King assumed control of the battleship, directing his focus to the core of the flying boat, a concentrated sphere of light.

With a faint tremor, the Black Sun began to slow, and the bronze-hued battleship rapidly closed the distance.

The wind howled around them. Beneath them, the snow-covered landscape stretched on, with mountains rising from the ground and a chill lingering in the air.

The great variation in weather throughout the immortal continent could be traced to its diverse geography, with a range of environments encompassed within a million li of Fengchuan City’s territory.

Their pursuit of tens of thousands of li took them across varied terrains, from lakes to mountains, from deserts to grasslands.

Such was the life of a cultivator, where battles and chases spanned vast distances, with some peak powerhouses capable of reshaping worlds in their conflicts.
