Chapter 4246

“Alright then, we’ll head to the island. No big deal, we’ll have one more fight!”

Chen Wenliang nodded in agreement at this declaration.

The tattered spirit boat began to advance steadily. This time, Kai and the others didn’t need to search for that small island; by following their current course, they were sure to spot it soon!

Meanwhile, on the sea in front of Kai, a massive spirit boat was cutting through the waves with impressive speed.

“Accelerate, we need to hurry…”

On the deck, Mu Qiufeng, the Patriarch of the Zhentian Dharma Sect, gazed at the ocean with a serious expression. After receiving urgent support messages, he had immediately rallied his team to set off.

“Patriarch, there’s no need to worry too much. Elder Liu and the others will be fine. Even if there are a few formation masters among those pill masters, they’re likely just there to better control the spirit boat,” a slender man reassured Mu Qiufeng.

“It’s possible that by now, Elder Liu and the others have already subdued those pill masters and are on their way here!”

Mu Qiufeng responded, “I’m not concerned about the formation masters. Our spirit boat is equipped with powerful spell formations and the secret techniques of our Zhentian Law Sect. Elder Liu and the others should be safe.”

“What worries me is whether they’ll encounter the stormy seas. This year’s storms are much more intense than in previous years. If they get caught in it, survival may be difficult.”

Mu Qiufeng had confidence that Elder Liu and his team could handle the pill masters. Even if a few formation masters were among them, it was well understood that long-distance spirit boat travel required skilled manipulation of formations to ensure safe passage through turbulent waters. Without formation masters, a spirit boat wouldn’t withstand the fierce winds and waves.

These formation masters would not pose a challenge to Elder Liu and his companions; Mu Qiufeng was primarily concerned that Elder Liu might misjudge the storm’s severity and become ensnared by it!

“Sovereign, a boat is approaching…”

At that moment, a disciple of the Heavenly Zenith Law Sect called out.

Mu Qiufeng turned to see a battered spirit boat making its way toward them, appearing as if it could disintegrate at any moment!

“Is that a damaged spirit boat that escaped from the storm?” someone speculated.

“Could it belong to our Sky-Shattering Dharma Sect?” another questioned.

“Let’s go check it out. Few people come this way; we should see who they are,” Mu Qiufeng ordered with a wave of his hand.

As the two spirit boats drew closer, Mu Qiufeng frowned and remarked, “This isn’t one of our Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect’s boats; the formations are all wrong.”

Even though the spirit boats might look similar, the formations that powered and protected them differed, making it possible to distinguish between them.

Meanwhile, Kai, aboard his spirit boat, was also alerted by Chen Wenliang: “Fellow Daoist Chen, there’s another spirit boat approaching in the distance. I wonder if it belongs to the Heaven Beheading Law Sect.”

Kai examined the approaching vessel and, feeling its formations, nodded. “Yes, that’s definitely a spirit boat of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect…”

Chen Wenliang’s expression tightened. “I’ll inform everyone to prepare for battle immediately.”

“Hold on, President Chen. First, take all the apothecaries and hide inside the cabin. Keep your presence and voices concealed.”

“If we can avoid a fight, that would be best.”

Kai understood that a battle would likely result in many pill masters losing their lives.

“Understood!” Chen Wenliang agreed.

All the pill masters quickly concealed themselves in the cabin, surrounded by formations to mask their presence.

Meanwhile, Kai instructed Gu Tianzhao to lead the members of the Two Yi Sect to stand on the deck, steering straight toward the spirit boat of the Heaven Beheading Law Sect!

Before long, the two spirit boats were positioned face to face, just tens of meters apart!

Kai’s spirit boat looked ragged and worn, especially when compared to the more formidable appearance of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect’s vessel.

This disparity in condition was likely why the members of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect failed to recognize that this was the spirit boat being piloted by Elder Liu!
