Chapter 1860 (Raw 1872): Intoxicating Saber Sounds
A ma.s.sive wars.h.i.+p blazing with purple light appeared in the north, flying quickly through the clouds in the night sky towards Jiang He’s courtyard.
There was an ancient “Jiang” character written on a war banner at the bow of the s.h.i.+p.
Even from five hundred kilometers away, one could feel the fighting spirit coming from that ancient wars.h.i.+p.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The deafening sound of war drums rumbled out from the s.h.i.+p, spreading in all directions.
Visible ripples surged out from the wars.h.i.+p, looking like waves of water. s.p.a.ce even became confused and got swept away.
The loud drumming startled all of the cultivators in Soaring Dragon City.
“It’s the Jiang Clan’s Purple Thunder Wars.h.i.+p!”
“What’s happening? To think that the Jiang Clan brought out a Purple Thunder Wars.h.i.+p! There are only three of them in the Jiang Clan.”
“Although the Jiang Clan is not one of the eight great n.o.ble Clans of my dynasty, it is still one of the top three clans within the Soaring Dragon Marquisate.”
“It has been many years since I last saw the Jiang Clan send out a Purple Thunder Wars.h.i.+p.”
“Go, go, go! Let’s go and take a look!”
The night sky was dark and a bright moon hung there.
The Jiang Clan’s Purple Thunder Wars.h.i.+p was like a bright pearl. Its burning light could contest with the moon’s radiance.
The thunderous drumming seemed like it would shake down the lunar palace in the sky.
[TL Note: Chinese legends speak of a palace on the moon where one of the deities live.]
No one knew why the Jiang Clan was furious enough to bring out a Purple Thunder Wars.h.i.+p.
What was more horrifying was that the Jiang Clan even beat their war drums, something that had not happened for several hundred years.
Everyone believed that this was connected to the theft of the Sub-Divine Crystal in broad daylight and the Heavenly Book Scholar’s mysterious abduction.
Many with sharp senses all noticed an extraordinary aura.
Against this backdrop, many experts followed in secret, wanting to see what had happened.
However, something even more shocking had yet to come. A fortress s.h.i.+p bathed in jade light and surrounded by red clouds arrived from the west of Soaring Dragon City. It seemed to take its time traveling.
The s.h.i.+p sparkled and glowed like an Immortal’s treasure s.h.i.+p sailing at a leisurely pace. However, in reality, it moved extremely fast.
That fortress s.h.i.+p moved rapidly, leaving radiance in its wake like Immortal mist. It was like a jade ribbon falling from the heavens, drifting in this quiet night sky.
“Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!”
Fluid, pleasant, melodious tones rang out from the fortress s.h.i.+p that gave off a brilliant light from lanterns. In contrast to the rumbling drumming, the gentle and elegant sounds were intoxicating. Only when the song ended did everyone slowly open their eyes.
One could make out several young women on that brilliant fortress s.h.i.+p, dancing and playing all sorts of instruments. Their swaying figures showed vague jade-green shadows thrown by the s.h.i.+p’s lantern flame.
“The Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s wars.h.i.+p!”
“d.a.m.n! It really is the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s wars.h.i.+p!”
“What exactly happened? An entertainment establishment like the Smiling Daughter Pavilion actually sent out their wars.h.i.+p!”
“Don’t underestimate the Smiling Daughter Pavilion’s strength. In regard to acc.u.mulations, even the Jiang Clan cannot compare to them.”
“I am just surprised. An entertainment establishment like the Smiling Daughter Pavilion rarely gets angry. Who is this shocking person who can anger even the Smiling Daughter Pavilion?”
“I need to go and take a look.”
With the appearance of the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, many cultivators who initially just watched from afar could no longer hold themselves back, soaring into the sky.
There was a good show to come. Another four wars.h.i.+ps appeared in the night sky.
The factions behind these wars.h.i.+ps were all stronger than the Jiang Clan.
However, someone discovered something even more horrifying. These wars.h.i.+ps were converging on one destination.
“The Heavenly Mystery Tower, the Sun Moon Pavilion, the Thunder Cloud Sect, and the Jade Water Mountain Manor! These are all the top factions of our Soaring Dragon Marquisate. What exactly happened?”
All the cultivators paying attention to this matter were flabbergasted. This was simply frightening.
Previously, offending just one of these factions was practically a death sentence.
Today, someone had actually fearlessly offended all of these factions.
“Ghostly Shadow Bandit, you will definitely die today!”
Suddenly, a furious roar came from the Jiang Clan’s Purple Thunder Wars.h.i.+p and echoed in the night sky.
The anger contained in the voice made one’s heart pound heavily.
“It’s the Ghostly Shadow Bandit!”
“No wonder, no wonder. Aside from him, no one would dare to offend so many factions.”
“Practically all of these factions had valuable treasures stolen from them. Furthermore, news of that spread far and wide, which embarra.s.sed them. Now that they have the Ghostly Shadow Bandit cornered, they will definitely not let him run away again.”
“This is truly an extensive formation of people. It looks like all these factions really hate this Ghostly Shadow Bandit to the bone.”
Upon hearing that furious roar, everyone immediately understood why these factions were here. This dispelled many people’s doubts.
In the courtyard, as Xiao Chen watched the wars.h.i.+ps flying over from all directions, he entered deep thought. “It looks like tonight would be rather unbearable.”
The wars.h.i.+ps of the various factions had already locked down on this place, sealing off all the exits.
There was simply no way to run. It was rather difficult to run away from right under their noses.
