Chapter 413 - 351: Spiritual Ship Banquet, Amusing Incidents

Although the battle had ceased, the surrounding Spiritual Qi was still wildly turbulent.

The lingering aura of Divine Techniques faintly resonated.

“That was close! I barely made it out alive!”

Even a fool could see what had just happened, and Yama Ghost was no fool. Chu Xianyi had clearly intended to silence him for good.

If his Eternal Hell had collapsed even a moment later, he would have been utterly destroyed, his body and spirit annihilated.

Beside him stood a peerlessly beautiful fairy with an ethereal grace.

But at this moment, Yama Ghost didn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect, not in his actions, nor even in his thoughts.

‘She must be from the Direct Lineage Demon Race of an ancient power!’

An ancient power that even the Blood Corpse Commerce, at its peak, couldn’t hope to compare with.

Xu Chang’an casually swept his gaze across the battlefield, hoping to find some overlooked Cultivation Resources he could scavenge.

His gaze inadvertently fell upon Chu Xianyi.

As if sensing his gaze, Chu Xianyi’s beautiful eyes turned to meet his.

A refined face, a cold and stunning temperament, a transcendent and otherworldly air—what a Great Realm True Immortal!

The two Demons locked eyes for a moment before, with a tacit understanding, they both looked away.

‘This woman…’

Xu Chang’an faintly sensed that something was off about Chu Xianyi’s aura.

They had been on the Spiritual Ship for nearly eighteen hundred years, during which Xu Chang’an had seen Chu Xianyi only a handful of times.

This time, with his Demon Sense having grown stronger, he faintly perceived that Chu Xianyi’s Realm seemed to have advanced.

‘Mid-stage Unity!?’

Xu Chang’an’s heart skipped a beat.

He hadn’t forgotten that he and Chu Xianyi were true competitors.

He had thought that with his Concealment Divine Techniques breaking through, his Demon Sense growing stronger, and his combat prowess now comparable to the Qinyuan-level Demon Fiend Ha Li, he would be able to suppress Chu Xianyi.

But now it seemed things weren’t that simple.

In midair, Chu Xianyi broke her gaze from Xu Chang’an’s. A five-colored light enveloped her as she entered the Spiritual Ship.

Throughout the entire process, she didn’t spare Yama Ghost a single glance.

Seeing Chu Xianyi depart, Yama Ghost relaxed, overwhelmed with relief.

By now, many of the Demon Fiends on the field had finished their battles and were transforming into streaks of light, returning to the Spiritual Ship.

Others, however, were sweeping the area with their Demon Sense, intent on scavenging.

Yama Ghost, after all, had earned his Cultivation through real, bloody battles.

With Chu Xianyi gone, he felt unrestrained.

He glared at the Demon Fiends sweeping the field with their Demon Sense, intending to scavenge, and let out an angry snort.

‘Some of these Demon Fiends were cowards afraid for their lives a moment ago, but now they want to reap the benefits!’

This snort from Yama Ghost was also a way for him to vent the frustration he had just been bottling up.

After a glance around, Yama Ghost shot toward the Spiritual Ship.

Yama Ghost’s speed wasn’t particularly fast, but his posture was menacing.

As fate would have it, Xu Chang’an was directly in Yama Ghost’s path.

‘Oh, hell!’

Xu Chang’an reacted in a flash, quickly moving out of the way.

His quick evasion, however, earned him no goodwill from Yama Ghost.

“Hmph!”

Yama Ghost snorted coldly, shot Xu Chang’an a glare, and flew into the Spiritual Ship.

With his status in the Blood Corpse Commerce, he could afford to completely ignore a mere Yingzhao-level Demon Fiend at the Late-stage Void Refining.

Watching Yama Ghost’s fading streak of light, Xu Chang’an narrowed his eyes.

「On a desolate island in the Star Sea Domain.」

In the center of the small island stood a relatively small mountain.

At that moment, the ugly man was standing beneath a rock on the mountainside, his face contorted in a furious expression, the rage in his eyes looking as if it would burst into flames.

“Miao Ying, Six Arms…”

The losses from this ambush were devastating.

Half of the Tribulation Cultivating Demon Race from Demon Flame Profound Heaven had died in the ambush.

The loss of the other Demon Race members was one thing.

But Miao Ying and Six Arms…

They had died too!

Miao Ying, Six Arms, and Denglong—those three had been with him the longest. They were the oldest members of Demon Flame Profound Heaven.

And now, two of them were dead!

“Who did this!”

The ugly man’s rage boiled over, and he roared.

Instantly, the winds and clouds roiled, and the very heavens seemed to tremble.

Miao Ying and Six Arms were both extremely powerful. One was comparable to a Qinyuan-level Demon Fiend, and the other was a top-tier Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend.

‘Who could have possibly killed them inside my Eternal Hell!?’

‘Under normal circumstances, not even one of the two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends on that Spiritual Ship could have killed them!’

‘In a two-on-one fight, Miao Ying and Six Arms together could have absolutely held their own against either of those Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends.’

‘Even if those two are stronger than the average Qinyuan-level Demon Fiend.’

But the facts were laid bare before him.

‘Is there another expert hidden among the Demon Fiends on that Spiritual Ship!?’

‘An expert even stronger than those two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends!’

‘Who could it be!?’

Images of the various Demon Fiends on the Spiritual Ship flashed through the ugly man’s mind.

But unfortunately, after a long period of recollection, he came up with nothing.

“No matter who did this! I will make you pay!”

The other Demon Race members were one thing, but he had been with Miao Ying and Six Arms for countless years. Their bond was unbreakable.

He would absolutely not let this go!

‘Forget the hidden expert for a moment! Even against those two Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends, I can only manage a stalemate, not a victory! And that’s not even counting the other Demon Fiend guards…’

‘I can’t do this alone. It’s not nearly enough! I need to find outside help!’

As this thought crossed the ugly man’s mind, an idea began to form.

「An exceptionally grand celebratory banquet was held inside the Spiritual Ship.」

In this battle, the many members of the Demon Race aboard the Spiritual Ship had survived the deadly ambush by the Demon Flame Profound Heaven, narrowly escaping death.

Having successfully weathered the crisis, it was an occasion that naturally called for celebration.

Aside from the Qinyuan-level Demon Fiends Ha Li and Zhangsun, who claimed to be in seclusion, all others attended.

The numerous Demon Fiends on the Spiritual Ship showed their respect by participating in the celebratory banquet.
