Chapter 407 The Immortal Emperors' ambitions and hegemony are none of their business.
Although Wu Qingzhang and Chen Faqiang couldn't understand why Zhong Lingxin was calling the Void Bandit Leaders of the Southern Boundary to have private talks one by one, they all respectfully obeyed Zhong Lingxin's arrangements.
No longer filled with doubts like when they first arrived, at least they now had a tiny bit of faith in their third master.
Just as Wu Qingzhang and Chen Faqiang decided to report to their superiors morning and evening from now on, Zhong Lingxin smiled and sailed away alone, intending to separate from them.
Zhong Lingxin had her own reasons for leaving alone.
She has several divine beasts, but these beasts are not included in the immortal realm's advancement system.
In other words, Huanhuan and his companions are not bound by the immortal realm's advancement system, but only by Zhong Lingxin's cultivation level.
They could be up to two major levels higher than Zhong Lingxin in cultivation.
With Zhong Lingxin's current cultivation level as an Immortal Lord, Huanhuan, Lele, and other companions can grow into ninth-tier divine beasts, which is equivalent to the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor.
This was something she had discussed with her master, Aunt Yu, long before she set off.
After all, no matter how much the celestial soldiers under his command train, they are still just subordinates.
The real top combat power still comes from themselves.
This time, Zhong Lingxin set her sights on the Void Bandits under the command of the Eastern Realm Immortal Emperor.
The strength of the several Immortal Emperors cannot be allowed to diminish; they must all be weakened.
The western, northern, and central borders are currently in a state of chaos, and it's not appropriate for her to intervene for the time being.
The Void Bandits under the Eastern Realm Immortal Emperor, who were watching from the sidelines, needed to be eliminated when the opportunity arose.
Zhong Lingxin had an idea: when she was able to do so, she wanted to build several void teleportation stations, just like the void teleportation stations that the Dragon family, the guardians of the Immortal Spirit Continent, used to leave the Immortal Spirit Continent.
With these void teleportation stations, the number of deaths and injuries among merchants traveling between the various continents of the Immortal Realm can be greatly reduced, cutting off one of the escape routes for these void bandits.
As for those who seek opportunities in the void, she can't control that.
Zhong Lingxin possesses seven flying boats, all crafted by Zhong Chun. However, Zhong Lingxin dislikes ostentation, so the boats are not shiny. Moreover, the materials are superior, resulting in smoother and more sturdier hulls.
Huanhuan, accompanied by a little fairy beast from a nine-story pagoda, piloted a flying boat.
Yueyue, accompanied by a little fairy beast from a nine-story pagoda, piloted a flying boat.
Pingping and An'an separated for the first time, each taking a little fairy beast from the Nine-Story Pagoda and piloting a flying boat.
Xiaoxiao, along with Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, piloted a flying boat.
Zhong Qiu and his son Zhong Yongfu piloted a flying boat.
Zhong Lingxin piloted a flying boat herself.
Zhong Chun focused solely on refining more and better immortal artifacts within the time array.
As a hidden force, Lele rarely reveals herself to others.
The team will be arranged as follows for now.
Zhong Lingxin began looking for an opportunity to harass the bandits in the Eastern Boundary Void.
Seven flying boats circled around the outer perimeter of the Eastern Void Bandits.
Their trail was quickly discovered by the Void Bandits of the Eastern Boundary.
The leader of the Eastern Void Bandits is named An Chengjie, a man a hundred times more cunning than Xue Shanyu.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, he knew he was being watched.
Those mere seven airships must be someone else's reconnaissance airships.
Who would dare to target him?
There are many forces in the void, but only four or five can truly rival him.
Just as An Chengjie was pondering, the two immortals beside him slammed down their wine cups.
In their eyes, they were nothing but wicked, murderous, plundering, and thrill-seeking bandits.
The imperial ambitions of the Celestial Emperors are none of their business.
It's fine now.
In order to start the war in the Middle Realm, first the spaceships in the Void disappeared, then the Western Realm and the Northern Realm went to war. The bandits in the Void stopped pretending and directly participated in the war.
These Void Bandits, instead of finding any excitement, are forced to endure the turbulent winds and currents, wasting their meager resources, and watching others wage war.
The Void Bandits from the Southern Boundary also had the opportunity to rob the Bright Boat Bandits.
They got nothing in return.
They've really had enough!
An Chengjie was well aware of what his bandits were thinking.
He also realized that if he didn't get some resources soon, his bandits would really defect.
Perfect, let's send them to meet those seven small flying boats.
Let's find out what's going on with them first.
An Chengjie put down his wine cup and beckoned to the two immortal lords: "Come, second brother, fifth brother, you've been out of seclusion for several days now. It's a good time to stretch your muscles. Those seven small flying boats are yours to handle. It would be best if you could capture them alive and see who dares to plot against us."
The two immortal lords, Mu Qing and Ouyang Ming, were referred to as the second and fifth brothers.
Upon hearing An Chengjie's words, the two were overjoyed, leaped into the air, and laughed loudly: "Big brother, watch us!"
Mu Qing and Ouyang Mingxing excitedly accepted the order and left.
An Chengjie whispered to a junior officer: "Go and meet the two immortal lords."
This junior officer was An Chengjie's confidant. He understood An Chengjie's meaning: he wanted him to keep an eye on the movements of the other side's seven airships.
The fact that the enemy's seven airships dared to come and probe their base suggests they must have something to rely on.
Mu Qing and Ouyang Ming have fiery tempers, so they probably didn't observe things very carefully.
Soon, Mu Qing and Ouyang Ming each ordered fifty flying boats, which then flanked Zhong Lingxin's seven flying boats from both sides.
Zhong Lingxin's seven flying boats formed a Hunyuan Formation. After hastily firing a few shots, they hurriedly fled into the distance.
Mu Qing and Ouyang Ming led a hundred flying boats, roaring as they gave chase.
The junior officer did not give chase, but reported to An Chengjie: "Chief, the Second Chief and the Fifth Chief have gone to chase after the other side's seven small flying boats. Judging from the lightness of those flying boats, they are made of materials commonly used in flying boats from the Southern Boundary."
An Chengjie smiled: "In the void for many years, flying boats have been fought over and fought over. A few flying boats are just similar, which doesn't prove anything. You can go down now."
The junior officer bowed and said, "Their flying boats are very new, and their immortal cannons seem to have a longer range than ours."
An Chengjie became interested and asked, "How far?"
The junior officer replied, "It's probably about a hundred zhang away, but the distance is too far for me to see clearly."
An Chengjie nodded.
Just then, Mu Qing and Ouyang Ming returned, cursing and swearing.
The two men went back and forth, praising the other's airships for their superior range, claiming they had lost several of their own and that the other had escaped.
An Chengjie handed over two glasses of wine and laughed, "Let them go. In the vast void, those who chase them far might get lost and die in the void."
Ouyang Ming downed the pungent liquor in his cup in one gulp, then shook his head angrily, saying, "No, they run extremely fast and know the route very well. They've been watching us for a long time, we just didn't notice before."
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Brother, we can see clearly that those are seven new flying boats, really new."
We couldn't hit him with the Immortal Essence Cannon, so I flew out, hoping to steal one of his ships.
Damn it, I used five Rank 6 Explosion Talismans.
Not even a white mark was left on that flying boat.
"What a fine flying boat! What a fine flying boat!"
