"It's nothing." Shenxian'er turned her head to look ahead.

The water monster, resembling a mountain, stopped ahead, like a small island or a giant ship, confronting the Canglang ship.

The formation on the Canglang Ship was activated, with three layers of light walls, each larger than the last, surrounding the ship.

"Qiao Wanzhen, what do you want to do!" A strange voice came from inside the demon-hunting ship.

The sound was loud and majestic, as if the Canglang ship itself was speaking.

"Why get so angry over a simple greeting?" The giant monster seemed to be speaking as well, its voice tinged with amusement.

"Is the other party also a cultivator?" Shen Xian'er suddenly realized.

So...

Is this giant water monster actually a boat?

No, it was a cultivator who mistook the giant water demon for a boat!

But this is a water demon in the Golden Core stage. Why would a cultivator who can use a Golden Core stage water demon as a boat deliberately cause trouble for the Canglang Ship?

If there were any conflict between them, the Canglang Ship would have been destroyed long ago.

"Greeting? You killed my guest, is this what you call greeting?" The captain of the Canglang ship showed no respect for a Golden Core cultivator.

"Greetings? You don't plan on any greetings?" The other party was clearly provoking. "Where's the Golden Core stage puppet you bought at the auction with all your savings? Didn't you say you wanted to compete with my precious treasure? I've been waiting for you here all this time."

It turns out it was premeditated.

"Thank you for what you did earlier," Yiyi whispered.

The fairy smiled.

Suddenly, the moon reflected in the water transmitted a message to her: "Come behind me!"

Shenxian'er instinctively stepped back behind her.

She looked at Shui Zhongyue's profile with confusion. The other person's face, after being disguised, could only be described as pretty, and at this moment, she looked nervous.

Shenxian'er herself realized that if the two captains were to fight, one a Golden Core stage demon and the other a Golden Core stage puppet, would they still be able to survive?

"Stop acting tough here. Once we get back to Neihu, I'll fight you however you want. Now get out of my way!"

Qiao Wanzhen said softly, "My dear, she doesn't want to show us her puppet. What do you suggest we do?"

The giant monster opened its mouth.

boom!

In an instant, it was as if a hole had appeared in the lake, and the lake water surged in.

The Canglang ship was swept along by the waves and, under the terrifying suction, headed towards the giant monster's maw.

The closer they got, the smaller the ship became. The ship, which was originally the same size as the Kraken, had become large enough to be swallowed whole by the Kraken.

The ship was filled with panic and fear.

"You're asking for death!" Captain Canglang finally roared.

A beam of light shot out from the cabin, hovered above the Canglang ship, and transformed into a puppet ten feet tall.

The puppet's appearance was that of a woman wrapped in white cloth, with long black hair like a waterfall, ordinary features, and a pale face, like a ghost.

She raised her hand and slapped him.

Bang!

The giant monster roared, its mountain-like body being forced back dozens of meters.

The powerful suction abruptly stopped, and the strange shrinking sensation disappeared as well.

"It's a good thing, but I don't know how many spirit stones it will cost to use it once," Qiao Wanzhen said.

"I've always been curious about how many fish demons your precious baby eats in one meal."

"Just you wait, I'll capsize your boat sooner or later." As soon as Qiao Wanzhen finished speaking, the giant monster swung its tail and plunged into the lake.

The splashing waves crashed against the array's light barrier, but within the barrier, all was calm.

"Qiao Wanzhen is getting more and more arrogant!" the female first mate who had been giving orders earlier cursed angrily.

As the ship rocked, Shenxian'er overheard the discussions among many cultivators on the deck and learned that Qiao Wanzhen was quite famous in Humingfang.

When I was in the middle of the Foundation Establishment stage, I entered the outer lake and was swallowed by a water demon in the Golden Core stage. Who knew that this misfortune would turn into a blessing, as I entered the water demon's spine.

By tormenting the water demon, he managed to control the Golden Core stage water demon with his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The price is also huge; one will never be able to leave the spine for the rest of their life, otherwise they will be the first to be killed by the water demon.

However, relying on the water demon, he roamed the inner lake, seized a lot of resources, and became a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The water demon wasn't stupid. Although it dared not fight to the death, it usually slacked off and would never obey orders until it was well-fed and watered.

"Continue," the captain ordered.

She did not recall the puppet. The tall, black-haired woman sat cross-legged at the top of the deck pavilion, giving everyone a great sense of security.

"This puppet..." Chang'e said thoughtfully.

"Ah Zhou is so dashing, surrounded by beauties." A familiar laugh rang out.

[Hahaha!] Li Changzhou laughed loudly, [Sister Yaochi, I've missed you so much!]

This puppeteer is Yaochi, or more precisely, one of the puppets controlled by Yaochi.

Having incorporated one of the ten strongest Heavenly Wills, [Heavenly Will - Mechanical Overlord], she can modify anything, whether it's a technological creation, a magical creature, or a cultivation puppet.

It's just a matter of transforming the power into a corresponding force system.

[You still remember me? I thought you were having such a good time you forgot all about home. Tsk tsk tsk, a beautiful young woman, a delicate and stunning enchantress, and a fairy like Chang'e you can chat with.]

Chang'e said, "Yaochi, you can make fun of His Majesty, but don't joke about me."

Yaochi chuckled softly, in a very good mood.

Shenxian'er and Shuizhongyue were completely unaware of the conversation between the three and were staring at the puppet.

Shenxian'er was simply curious, while Shui Zhongyue wondered if she could snatch it away. Having a puppet at the Golden Core stage would make completing the mission much easier.

"Did you set up your business here because you heard about my fight here?" Li Changzhou asked.

【Searching for her husband across a thousand miles】Yaochi gave a concise definition to her actions.

Li Changzhou laughed and said, "I intended to find you first, but when I had spiritual power and was about to use 'teleportation,' I realized I didn't know what had become of you."
