Chapter 966 - Invincible Navy Fleet (1/2)

The Yinkang Clan's fleet split the waves apart as they sailed back to their clan on the Heavenly River. The upper course of the river belonged to the Heavenly River Navy Fleet's domain; in every thousand miles, there would be a huge army camp and a dock surrounded by countless warships.

Throughout the journey, camps were everywhere and the soldiers were practicing hard; their ships sailed at lightning speed as they engaged in a training battle.

"Halt, King Yi!"

A warship sailed towards them and the commander of Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Lou Zhengshi stood on the bow. When the ships came close, Lou Zhengshi greeted, "King Yi, Zhengshi had benefited a lot after hearing your lecture about the seventh secret realm. I really admire your generosity. As such, I've excused myself from my duty for a moment to have a drink with you."

The divine generals then set up a bridge between the two ships before Lou Zhengshi headed to the center of the bridge while several gods holding wine followed behind. Zhong Yue then walked forward as well and Yin Fukang as well as Fu Li quickly followed behind him.

Behind Lou Zhenghi, the gods served them a cup of wine, which was then accepted by Zhong Yue and Lou Zhenghi.

"To King Yi."

Lou Zhengshi raised the cup and before he drank it all, he said, "After this drink, King Yi will not be my friend anymore and because of my duty, I will not have mercy on you if we ever fight on two different sides."

Zhong Yue drank the wine, handed the cup back to the gods and replied seriously, "Understood. Thank you for this fine wine. Take care."

"You too."

With one final glance exchange, the two returned to the ship and as the ships parted, Lou Zhengshi bowed at Zhong Yue far away, to which Zhong Yue bowed back.

"Father-in-law, please be prepared. Imperial Emperor Lou Zhengshi might attack anytime," said Zhong Yue after the Yinkang Clan's fleet sailed away.

Yin Fukang immediately had the fleet to raise the guards up and when Fu Li turned around, instead of the Heavenly River Navy Fleet's massive and grand warships, he saw many Mengchong Warships, each with a thousand paddles that torn the calmness in the water, sailing away with relentless speed like ferocious dragons.

Yin Fukang let out a relieved sigh and said, "Lou Zhengshi had come with the Mengchong Warships instead of the Louchuan Warships. It seems like the Heaven Court is not planning to go to war with Xian Tian Palace yet since the army Lou Zhengshi brought this time is not that strong."

Zhong Yue, however, disagreed, "Father-in-law, if you really think so, then we will all be dead. Though Heaven Court has yet to start the war, they can still start it anytime.

Yin Fanxuan nodded, "If they could strike down Xian Tian Palace's King Yi, sever a trusted and reliable vassal of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, then what is wrong with starting a war right now? Father, if we are not careful enough, we might all die here."

Yin Fukang burst out laughing hearting the two comments and he said proudly, "Die here? Daughter, you've underestimated we Yinkang Clan's navy! Men, full sail, roll the wheels and prepare for combat!"

The gods in the fleet immediately lowered the sails, while another hundred of them rolled the wheels, spinning them quickly; there were a total of four wheels, two at each side of the ship.

As the wheels spun, they added more power and greatly heightened the speed of the ships massively!

With incredible speed, the fleet sailed even quicker, but as warships designed for sneak attacks, the Mengchong Warships were much quicker.

On the Mengchong Warships, with the thousand paddles, they split the water apart and chased after the Yinkang Clan's fleet with a speed faster than flying.

However, Yin Fukang did not feel uneasy at all and he laughed, "Son, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet is undefeatable. It is hard to find another navy on par with them. They possess various warships and on the water, no one could win against them but only us, the Yinkang Clan is the only race that can rival them. After Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan sealed our bloodline, trapped us in the State of Heavenly River for years but this morphed us into a race that lived with the water. This is also the reason why Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept on trying to recruit us."

Zhong Yue's eyes lit up, "Father-in-law, you mean that you have already arranged the Yinkang Clan's navy to escort us?"

Yin Fukang nodded, "As the clan master, I have to take care of everything. Before I left from our clan, I've already had them stationed here to escort us, and to ambush the Heavenly River Naval Fleet!"

Zhong Yue praised silently. Those who were able to become the clan master were all talented in their own ways; Yin Fukang had always behaved like a child, speaking in a foul manner and loving to brag. In truth, his frivolous facade was so that he would not be taken seriously, which was undoubtedly an advantage.

But can the Yinkang Clan's navy rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet?

Zhong Yue was a little worried.

"While you are talking on the Martial Saint Stage, I've already notified the elders in the clan to station the navy here."

Yin Fukang said, "They should be here by now."

Fu Li frowned, "Then where are they? I don't see anything."

Right now, as they stood at the bow, they had a clear vision onto everything ahead; the Heavenly River was extremely vast and as the waves toppled onto each other, stars enlarged and descended onto the air luminously.

On the surface of the river, there was not even a tiny ship, let alone a massive fleet that could rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet.

The State of Heavenly River located right in the Heavenly River above Zi Wei Imperial Star, somewhere not far away from the Heaven Court and they should have been here by now. However, everyone felt uneasy when the Yinkang Clan's naval was nowhere in sight.

"They are here," confirmed Yin Fukang calmly.

"Halt!"
