Chapter 162: Rebirth! Return of the Venerable_3
"Therefore, until the situation on the outer battlefield is stable, it's crucial for the Immortal-Demon Dynasties to generally maintain peace. Even if things are stirred up, it must be done with appropriate restraint."
Wang Shouzhe's continuous discourse left Long Wuji quite overwhelmed, as he waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Alright, alright~ Leave such matters to tall folks like you. I'm just a rough person, responsible for fighting and killing."
Wang Shouzhe couldn't help but smile.
Just the fact that Long Wuji has been sailing with his fleet for so many years without capsizing shows that he is absolutely a cunning person. If anyone really believed that Long Wuji was just a brute, they might be sold off by him without even realizing it.
"Oh, by the way~" At this point, Long Wuji thought of something and asked, "How do you plan to deal with those ships and prisoners?"
"Naturally, the Kunmu Giant Vessel and Three Eyes Treasure Ships have to be taken along. You can assign some crew to familiarize themselves with the operation and sail them in line behind us." Wang Shouzhe was in a rather good mood when thinking about this batch of captured ships.
In fact, by nature, he wasn't keen on going out. If it weren't for something involving heritage this time, he wouldn't have come personally.
Who would have thought that upon venturing out, without even entering a dungeon, he would unexpectedly gain a Kunmu Giant Vessel and seven or eight Three Eyes Treasure Ships?
Just with these, this trip could already be considered a huge harvest.
Once back, he planned to have his second daughter study them and, if any new technology tree could be unlocked, or some special skill map illuminated, it would be even more profitable~
Even if there were no special gains, simply analyzing the various aspects of the Kunmu Giant Vessel and the Three Eyes Treasure Ships would give them more confidence if they were encountered in the future.
"As for those prisoners, collect all their weapons and equipment, find a deserted island and dump them there, letting the Dragon Whale group guard them temporarily. First, ensure no information leaks, and we'll consider how to handle them specifically when we're about to leave." Wang Shouzhe added.
"Alright."
Long Wuji nodded and sent someone to make the arrangements.
Wang Shouzhe didn't concern himself further.
For him, this was just a minor episode on the journey, and those prisoners were not very important. Comparatively, the current dungeon involving the Demonic Plant Honored One mattered more.
With the addition of the Kunmu Giant Vessel and the seven or eight Three Eyes Treasure Ships, Long Wuji's fleet size more than doubled. Since the operation of the Kunmu Giant Vessel and the Three Eyes Treasure Ships was not yet very smooth, the fleet's speed slowed down considerably.
Fortunately, the next part of the journey was very smooth.
Within just a few days, the fleet reached the designated sea area.
According to the prior plan, Wang Shouzhe needed to meet with Old Ancestor Longyan first.
However, before the rendezvous, he made some arrangements in advance, hiding the fleet and accompanying personnel, including King Chaoyang and others who stayed behind as reinforcements, ensuring that if Wang Shouzhe encountered any danger, these backup forces could rush to the rescue swiftly.
Additionally, Wang Shouzhe carried a Tower of Soldiers with him, containing over a thousand elite members from Wang's Civilian Corps.
As for his immediate company, he only brought three people. Apart from Green Fern, who came to share resources, the remaining two were the Nine Yin Demon Envoy, who had come due to an accidental misunderstanding with Wang Shouzhe, and the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, Ji Yueer.
For this operation, Ji Yueer had intentionally dressed more maturely, even altering her hair color slightly. After some "renovation," her appearance was quite mysterious.
Essentially, as long as she didn't confront acquaintances, her identity wouldn't easily be exposed.
Meanwhile, the Nine Yin Demon Envoy was dressed as an accompanying maid, sticking close to Wang Shouzhe, resembling a modest little wife truly.
After all preparations were in place, Wang Shouzhe followed the secret marks left by Old Ancestor Longyan, located a hidden uninhabited island, and successfully joined with Old Ancestor Longyan and others.
In a courtyard within the carry-on cave mansion of the Third Prince of the Demonic Dynasty, Shentu Jingming, Wang Shouzhe finally met Old Ancestor Longyan.
After many years, Old Ancestor Longyan's appearance hadn't changed a bit, yet her eyes had grown deeper and more reserved, as if even the light in her pupils had become more profound.
Evidently, these years of experiences had had a considerable impact on her.
Wang Shouzhe's heart remained unsettled for a long time, approaching her to express his concern by holding her hand: "Old Ancestor, have you been well these years? It's my fault for the grievances you've suffered."
For how many years, Wang Shouzhe could only know of Old Ancestor Longyan's experiences through intelligence, aware of her situations within the Yinsha Sect and during her travels. Now finally meeting, his heart was both stirred and much relieved.
The Third Prince, Shentu Jingming, stared intensely at the hand Wang Shouzhe was holding with Wang Longyan, his cheek twitching.
If not for the "Old Ancestor" utterance, he might have already charged forward to show this brat how many eyes King Yama truly had.
"Zhe Mei, rest assured, everything is fine with me." Old Ancestor Longyan also gently patted Wang Shouzhe's head, immensely stirred within, even her voice trembled slightly, "Is everything alright at home?"
Wang Zhe Mei is Wang Shouzhe's current alias.
This name was, of course, given by Wang Mei who arranged his disguise, incorporating her "selfish interests" and beautiful wishes through the homophone of "Wang Zhe Mei."
In the territory of the Demonic Dynasty, an identity that can withstand scrutiny is very important.
