Chapter 331: Stomping to Death (1/2)

Beicang Qiong’s answer brought a befuddled still to the clamorous crowd. He’d ascended to the void realm after getting beat up by senior brother Lu?

Senior brother Lu Yun?

Many turned to Lu Yun in surprise, and Ling Ruyu’s disbelief was writ clear on his face.

“Hahaha!” The Ling scion threw his head back and brayed with laughter. “I didn’t expect the Beicang Clan to put Lu Yun on a fake pedestal just for the sake of two cultivation holy lands. Ludicrous, what a joke!”

Beicang Qiong shrugged and didn’t say anything further.

The crowd didn’t join in Ling Ruyu’s ridicule, and the Ling scion noticed the awkward atmosphere after a while. He shut his mouth with an embarrassed expression.

Someone suddenly floated to the forefront of his mind.

Qing Han.

There was no way Lu Yun was capable of helping Beicang Qiong ascend to the void realm, but Qing Han was a definite possibility. The dao sovereign certainly had the ability to do so. He’d restored the entirety of the void realm. The only thing holding him back from ascending was his cultivation, which hadn’t yet reached peak transformed spirit realm.

After running through the idea, Ling Ruyu quickly calmed down. He hadn’t forgotten what he was here for—the fortress ship!

There were many means of transportation in the world of immortals, but fortress ships remained the premier option.

The art of creating fortress ships had been excavated from an ancient tomb by the Ling Clan. It could be said that the best fortress ships in the world came from their clan, and even the master refiner clan, the Zhurongs, fell short in this area.

Now, however, Ling Ruyu saw a fortress ship that was several times more powerful than the Ling Clan’s work. He couldn’t not do anything about that. As the clan’s most talented genius, he could naturally recognize the ship—its foundations were Ling handiwork, after all—but it’d become much more powerful after significant remodeling.

That, the clan wouldn’t tolerate or accept.

The Ling Clan enjoyed a special status in Nephrite Major and considered themselves to be above mundane matters. When Dusk Province showed the potential to become a cultivation sacred land, almost all of Nephrite Major and half of the immortals in the world wanted to kill Lu Yun and replace him, but the Ling Clan had avoided involvement in the matter from beginning to end.

……

“Please return my clan’s ship, senior brother Lu.” Ling Ruyu’s expression hardened.

“Hahaha! Do you have no shame at all, Ling Ruyu?!” Beicang Qiong was unusually loud, his tones covering half of the island.

Among the six degenerates, with the exception of the petite beauty, Jing Dichen, everyone had been influenced by the Deaf Prince after long-term exposure and were used to shouting everything.

Beicang Qiong approached Ling Ruyu and crooked a finger at him. “Come, come, let me smack you across the face and check how thick your skin is.”

Livid, Ling Ruyu met Lu Yun’s gaze with a scoffed, “Are you returning the ship or not, Lu Yun?!”

“The ship is right there,” Lu Yun finally spoke up. “Take it yourself if you want it so much.”

“Little bastard!” huffed a peerless immortal behind Ling Ruyu. “How is the young master supposed to claim the ship if you don’t deactivate the formation on it?”
