Guo Feilong was fine with hugging and flirting with the theater girls, but he couldn't accept going further. After all, he had a house full of beautiful wives and concubines, including three sets of twins and one set of quadruplets. There was no need for him to seek women outside, especially since he had a cleanliness obsession.
However, the theater girls on the ship were quite good-natured. When he teased one of them, she didn't get angry and even offered him a drink with a smile. After spending over two hours at the theater, Guo Feilong left, having spent 20 Spirit Stones, which was enough to have a good time with a young and pretty female cultivator. This place was truly a money pit.
On the ship's deck, many people were admiring the river scenery, much like watching the sea from a boat. Occasionally, spiritual beasts would leap out of the water. The ship had a rule that no one was allowed to hunt the spiritual beasts in the river. This was an agreement between the Primordial Sect and the river's king-level spiritual beasts. If anyone on the ship hunted the beasts in the river, the Primordial Sect's representative on the ship would kill that person.
Standing on the deck, Guo Feilong took strips of beef jerky from his storage bag and tossed them into the river, where they were eaten by a river turtle that had been following the ship. This river turtle was a Sixth Rank spiritual beast, with a shell as large as a room, and it could swim faster than the ship, easily keeping pace with it. Not only were there spiritual beasts in the river in front of him, but there were also spiritual beasts in front of others on the deck, all begging for food.
There was also a spiritual beast that looked like a dolphin, performing tricks for the cultivators on the ship, such as fancy swimming and flips. The cultivators on the ship were generous, throwing various land-based meat strips to the performing spiritual beast. To the spiritual beasts, the meat of land creatures was a rare delicacy. Some generous cultivators even threw Spirit Stones to the spiritual beasts performing alongside the ship.
Such harmony between cultivators and spiritual beasts was unique to this place. Elsewhere, encountering a spiritual beast would either result in the beast being killed or captured by cultivators. Of course, sometimes the cultivator would be killed and eaten by the spiritual beast.
At night, while Guo Feilong was cultivating in his room, he suddenly sensed an evil aura in the adjacent room. The aura was fleeting, disappearing without a trace in an instant, as if it were just his imagination. The evil aura could either be from a demon or a demon cultivator.
"Could there be a demon or demon cultivator on the ship?" Feilong pondered for a moment before dismissing the thought. The ship not only had a Golden Elixir stage cultivator from the Primordial Sect on board but also many formation devices that detected demonic auras. Any demon or demon cultivator coming aboard would be courting death.
"It's possible that someone, like me, obtained a demonic spiritual instrument or weapon, and the evil aura is emanating from it," Guo Feilong speculated. He was merely taking the ship to Wanhua City on the opposite bank and wasn't interested in meddling. Regardless of whether the person in the adjacent room was a demon or a demon cultivator, it had nothing to do with him. Better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
However, on the third day of the voyage, over a dozen ships, each over a hundred meters long, approached and surrounded the large ship. Encountering other ships on the river was normal, but when the blood-red flags appeared on these ships, panic ensued.
"It's the Ten Thousand Demons Sect! They're attacking our ship! Quickly, activate the defense shield!" someone on the Primordial Sect's kilometer-long ship shouted in panic.
"What!"
"The Ten Thousand Demons Sect!"
Countless cultivators on the ship were terrified. Guo Feilong had heard of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, a sect entirely composed of demon cultivators. Unlike other immortal cultivation forces, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect had no territory or headquarters. Only superiors could find subordinates, not the other way around. The relationships within the sect were either master-disciple or blood relatives, making them very united in battle.
"Not good! The ship's defensive formation has been sabotaged! Send out a distress signal!" The terrified scream sent chills down everyone's spine. Without the defensive shield, the demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect would soon board the ship for close combat.
"The Ten Thousand Demons Sect dares to hijack our Primordial Sect's ship? Aren't they afraid our Ancestor will eradicate them from this world?" At that moment, a tall middle-aged man suddenly disappeared from the most luxurious room on the ship. When he reappeared, he was a hundred meters above the large ship. He was Cao Man, the Golden Elixir stage cultivator guarding the ship from the Primordial Sect.
With the appearance of this Golden Elixir stage cultivator from the Primordial Sect, the many cultivators on the ship seemed to gain confidence, no longer as fearful of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
"Cao Man, since my Ten Thousand Demons Sect dares to hijack your Primordial Sect's ship, we have made thorough preparations. Your Primordial Sect's half-step Elemental Infant Ancestor has already died on the battlefield outside the domain," said an old woman with white hair, flying out from one of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's ships. Her aura was eerie and terrifying, also a Golden Elixir stage cultivator.
"How could our Primordial Sect's Ancestor be dead? You ugly old hag, you're courting death!" The Golden Elixir stage cultivator from the Primordial Sect shouted, raising his hand to strike at the Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
Boom!
In the sky, a massive palm print, thousands of meters wide, appeared, carrying the terrifying aura of the Golden Elixir stage, and slammed towards the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's ship.
"Petty tricks!" The Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect pointed her staff at the massive palm print.
Boom!
A dazzling blood-red beam burst from the staff, like a spear piercing the sky. Boom! The massive palm and the blood-red light from the staff collided, sending terrifying waves of energy in all directions, raising waves twenty to thirty meters high on the river.
"Children of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, go aboard the large ship and kill to your heart's content. Whatever Spirit Stones and Elixirs you seize are yours. Kill, kill to your heart's content. This world will eventually belong to us demon cultivators," the Golden Elixir stage demon cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect suddenly transformed into a demonic form, standing seven to eight meters tall, covered in red scales, with bat-like wings on her back.
"Kill!"
"Kill everyone on the ship."
"Refine their flesh and blood into Blood Essence Pills, and turn their souls into fierce ghosts!"
The ten ships of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect emitted a blood-red light, forming a blood-red barrier that trapped the Primordial Sect's large ship inside. One by one, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect cultivators flew out from the ten ships, heading towards the Primordial Sect's large ship.
"All cultivators on the ship, prepare to face the enemy. It's either the death of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect cultivators or our extinction. Don't hold back, fight with all you've got," rallied the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from the Primordial Sect on the large ship.
Among the demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, there were both Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Although they numbered only about two thousand, each was formidable. The Primordial Sect's large ship had between eight and ten thousand cultivators, but the number of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators was fewer than that of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
As soon as the two sides clashed, the cultivators on the Primordial Sect's ship fell into a disadvantage. As one of the cultivators on the ship, Guo Feilong had no choice but to engage in combat with the Ten Thousand Demons Sect cultivators.
