After an unknown period of time, Lin Muyu slowly woke up. She felt something churning in her stomach, and she felt like vomiting. She immediately turned over and got up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She was actually seasick.
Looking outside, it seemed that the sky was gloomy, and night was about to fall.
She got up, opened the cabin door, and saw two imperial guards standing respectfully outside. One of them said to Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin's cabin, "Your Highness Yin, dinner is ready. Three portions."
"Is the Marshal awake?"
The imperial guard glanced at Lin Muyu and said, "He's awake, and he's looking at me …"
Qin Yin burst into laughter and flew out of the cabin. She looked at Lin Muyu with her hand on the wooden plank and said with a smile, "Brother Yu, will you accompany me and Xiao Xi for dinner?"
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded. "I'll wash up first."
"Okay."
…
She took out a toothbrush and toothpaste from her space bag, and took some fresh water from a cup. Then, she went to the deck and walked to the edge of the ship to brush her teeth.
"Greetings, Marshal!"
A group of officers and soldiers saluted her.
Lin Muyu raised her hand and ordered them not to stand on ceremony. Then, she continued to brush her teeth. After brushing her teeth, she picked up the snow on the side of the ship and rubbed it on her face. The snow quickly melted and served as the friction to wash her face. It also made her feel refreshed instantly. It was so cold!
Wei Chou walked forward and said respectfully, "Madam, today's voyage was very smooth. We traveled nearly 700 miles during the day, much faster than we expected."
"700 miles?"
Lin Muyu could not help but smile. "In that case, we might reach Changyuan Island in four days."
"Yes."
"Go and rest. I'll be in charge of patrolling defense at night."
"Yes, my lord!"
Lin Muyu turned around and entered the cabin. There were a total of four to five rooms at the back of the ship, and all of them were occupied by the upper echelons of the empire. The aroma of the dishes attracted Chu Yao and Si Kongyao. As a result, the five of them had a meal together, and it was considered a special treatment. There was also fresh and tender delicacies as well as mellow and fragrant soups. This was considered a privilege of the empress. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu and Chu Yao also followed along to enjoy the blissful life.
The Qin Empire didn't lack money, so they didn't have to go to the deck to eat cold bread like soldiers.
"How's the military situation?" Qin Yin asked as she scooped soup for Lin Muyu.
"Everything went well."
Lin Muyu said, "Last night, we killed a dragon rider who tried to spy on the military situation, and we also received a letter from QianFeng and Xu Jiantao. They have already arrived at Greenstone Island and Jiufeng Island to serve as outposts for the three armies."
Si Kongyao smiled and asked, "I still don't quite understand Brother Yu's intention in sending these two fleets ahead of time."
"Outposts can provide information, and they can also serve as bait."
"The more important thing is the bait, right?" Qin Yin asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Lin Muyu nodded. "I really want to fight Chen Yu at sea, and with Chen Yu's intelligence, I can naturally see through it. He won't be happy to fight me at sea, so I have to throw out a huge bait to force him to fight me at sea."
"Is Chen Yu really that powerful?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
"His intelligence isn't below yours or mine." Lin Muyu said concisely.
"If that's the case …" Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips and said, "If that's the case, our chances of winning will become smaller again."
"No, we will definitely win."
Lin Muyu's eyes were full of deep meaning.
"Why?" the four girls asked together.
"It's very simple …" Lin Muyu's handsome face brimmed with confidence as she said, "There is one thing that the Celestial Pole Continent will never be able to match up to us, and that is unity. Xiao Yin, you are the empress, but you didn't order the execution of a national traitor like Qin Yi after capturing him. This kind of bearing and grace will allow us to win the hearts of the people. Think about it, even generals like Zhen Yifan and Xiang Yu, who once had rebellious thoughts, were placed in important positions by us. Who wouldn't be loyal to us?"
As she spoke, Lin Muyu stirred the vegetable leaves in the soup with her chopsticks and said, "Although we only have half the number of people in the Celestial Pole Continent, we are united. However, Chen Yu is different. Chen Yu is alone, and people like Yangshang, Filet, Dora, and Beiming Yuan won't be of one mind with Chen Yu, so Chen Yu can only use half of his intelligence. This way, Great Qin will definitely win."
Qin Yin smiled sweetly, gratified. "Then I can rest assured."
Tang Xiaoxi pouted. "Brainwashing expert Lin Muyu!"
Lin Muyu laughed. He loved and hated these two girls at the same time. How annoying. He picked up the bowl and finished the soup in one gulp. He then stood up and said, "Alright, it's getting dark. I'll be in charge of patrolling the fleet tonight. You guys sleep well, I'm going to carry out my military duties."
"A grand marshal has to personally patrol the fleet?" Chu Yao's mouth fell open.
"I have no choice. This is a special time, so I can't be careless."
He left the girls with his back as he walked out of the cabin with his sword hilt.
… …
Night fell, and the deck became even colder. In the sky, a giant dragon was soaring against the wind, and riding on its back was a beautiful girl. It was Situ Xue. It had been so many years, but Situ Xue hadn't aged at all. In fact, she looked even younger than before.
"My lord, can I accompany you on patrol tonight?" Situ Xue asked with a smile.
"It would be my honor."
Lin Muyu stood at the bow of the ship and said.
"Don't you want to take a look in the sky, my lord?" Situ Xue asked with a smile.
"Up in the sky? That's fine … "
Lin Muyu pondered for a moment before she suddenly opened her palm and pointed outside the ship's railing. "Akatosaurus, come out. It's your turn. Don't sleep in every day!"
"Awooo …"
The wall of the alternate dimension was broken, and the majestic Akatosaurus twisted its body and flew out of the hexagram. Clouds appeared around its body, and it called out to Lin Muyu several times respectfully as a greeting.
Lin Muyu jumped onto the dragon's back and grabbed the Akatosaurus's red mane. "Let's go. Follow me to patrol the fleet."
Akatosaurus understood. It quickly twisted its body and soared into the sky with Lin Muyu.
The soldiers of the Longdan Army Camp on the deck were dumbfounded. A real dragon! It was much stronger than the dragon mounts of Situ Sen and Situ Xue.
In the sky, the clouds were dense, and Lin Muyu quickly flew into the clouds. Beside her, other than Situ Xue, there were a few more Dragon Knights and hundreds of Xingtian Heavenly Army guards.
"Ah Xue, how many Dragon Knights do we have?" Lin Muyu asked.
Situ Xue blinked and chuckled. "My lord, we originally had 41 dragons. Later, Miss Si Kongyao smuggled a few dozen from the Celestial Pole Continent. Now, the Longdan Army Camp has a total of 114 dragons, which is equivalent to 114 Dragon Knights. Although we can't compare to the Celestial Pole Continent in terms of numbers, we have formed a powerful force of our own."
"Very good …"
Lin Muyu urged Akatosaurus to fly forward. Soon, they saw rows of battleships moving in a triangular formation on the surface of the sea. It was the imperial army fleet controlled by Feng Jixing.
From afar, they saw a small table on the deck of the flagship of this fleet. Feng Jixing was sitting upright and still, making tea. It was rare for him to be in such a mood. On the side, Zhang Wei, Guan Xing, and the others were drinking tea with him. They didn't look like they were facing a great enemy. However, it seemed that this was the style of the imperial army — elegant and not flustered. Once the enemy appeared, they would fight more valiantly than anyone else.
Lin Muyu continued to fly forward. She went deep into the clouds. She saw bolts of lightning raging in the purple clouds above.
"My lord, we can't fly up anymore! It's dangerous! "
Situ Xue said hurriedly. "The lightning there is extremely destructive. Be careful!"
"Don't follow us!"
Lin Muyu said in a deep voice. "I want to see what's in these clouds!"
Situ Xue was speechless.
…
Swoosh!
Akatosaurus turned into a blood-red light and flew into the clouds with Lin Muyu. The moment they entered the clouds, lightning swept over, just like the lightning that imprisoned the Seven Luminaries Demon Emperor in the Ba Huang Domain.
Clang!
The Xuan Yuan Sword was unsheathed. Lin Muyu's sword skills were swift and fierce. She slashed the lightning tentacles several times in a row. However, Akatosaurus didn't seem to be afraid of the lightning at all. It raised its head and let out a deafening dragon roar. It twisted its body and flew toward the place where the purple clouds were denser.
Lin Muyu could faintly feel that there seemed to be a very strange power in that place.
The electric net in front of them became denser and denser. So much so that Lin Muyu had to constantly slash at it to advance. Looking through the layers of electric net, Lin Muyu's heart suddenly trembled. There … seemed to be a purple-black energy core, protected by layers of electric net. It emitted a very dense demonic aura, like a demonic heart!
"Demonic heart?!"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and urged Akatosaurus to rush over.
However, the piercingly cold electrical net came charging at him. With a loud boom, the powerful energy surged and sent him flying back along with his dragon. No, the energy field of the Central Domain was too strong. It was not something that Lin Muyu could touch with her current abilities.
"Ow ow …"
Akatosaurus let out a miserable groan and roared as if it was facing a great enemy.
"Is this the power of the Demonic Realm in the mortal world?"
Lin Muyu thought to herself. She sheathed her sword and no longer tried to hit a stone with an egg. She grabbed Akatosaurus's mane and was about to leave. But at this moment, there was a sudden "chi la" sound. A faint golden rune appeared near the energy field of the demonic heart. Then, faint runes appeared. It was a kind of power with righteousness. Although it was very small, it made Lin Muyu feel a strong affinity.
Righteousness of Heaven and Earth, vast and everlasting.
The Demon Emperor had once said that. Although the power of this righteousness was very small, it had already been born at the side of the demonic heart. Since ancient times, righteousness and evil had mutually restrained each other. Where there was a demonic path, there must be a righteous path. This made Lin Muyu a little excited. The power of righteousness seemed to have begun to appear in this plane. This was good news.
At this moment, the two forces collided again.
"Boom!"
There was an explosion, and the small golden crystal instantly disappeared. It was directly extinguished by the demonic energy. The biting cold air swept Lin Muyu and Akatosaurus out of the clouds.
"Lord, are you alright?" Situ Xue flew over with her people.
"I'm fine."
Lin Muyu waved her hand. She looked up at the thunderous clouds in the sky and said, "I'm fine …"
He was a little disappointed. In the end, righteousness still couldn't defeat evil. Currently, the demonic energy in the Shattered Cauldron Realm was far stronger than righteousness. Otherwise, a Demon God like Filet wouldn't have been born.
The Spirit Pulse Technique spread out. Within a radius of a hundred miles, there were dozens of such demonic hearts. They covered the sky of the continent and wreaked havoc everywhere.
