The concerns of the Clan Elders are not without reason.
Even if it’s due to relationships, how long can it last?
But now there’s no other way. If not for their incompetence and cowardice, the Legendary Ship wouldn’t need to be handed over to an outsider.
The only redy now is to turn the outsider into one of us.
Because of this.
The Clan Elders were anxiously considering, without noticing Qiong Jiu enter the main hall with Qiong Xue and Qiong Xiaoyu.
By the ti they realized.
Qiong Jiu had already co near.
The Clan Elders awkwardly smiled, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Don’t have any crooked ideas, manage the Qiong Family well. This ti, our relocation has greatly weakened us, and it will take a long ti to recover.
As for Baiyu over there.
Don’t overthink it, just do your part," Qiong Jiu admonished.
The group of Clan Elders nodded repeatedly, their old faces full of embarrassed expressions.
...
Wind Dove City’s Anomaly Bureau Headquarters.
On the huge chanical plaque, red banners repeatedly rolled, "Contain, Protect, Assist..." which is the slogan of the Anomaly Bureau.
Flying airships landed on the clouds atop the tall black stone buildings, taking off and leaving one after another.
Baiyu hadn’t noticed earlier.
Now.
The Anomaly Bureau in Wind Dove City, whether in terms of construction or montum, far surpasses that of Maple Leaf County.
It has been heard for a long ti.
In Haiqing County, the official forces are overwhelmingly dominant.
The Bounty Hunter Association is already incorporated under the managent of the Anomaly Bureau, and the influence of the Holy Light Church is not as deeply rooted as the Church of the God of Steam and chanics in Maple Leaf County.
Now it seems that the words are not false.
Jian Linyue’s status is even higher than Baiyu had estimated.
After settling the Qiong Family, Baiyu entered the Anomaly Bureau.
As soon as he entered, soone approached, "Mr. Bai, the General Director is waiting for you. Please follow ."
Following this reception staff.
Baiyu took the chanical elevator all the way to the top floor of the Anomaly Bureau building, arriving at a large conference room.
Jian Linyue was already waiting inside.
In addition.
There was another person he was extrely familiar with and surprised to see, the Third Prince, Shangguan Zi.
The other was sitting in the conference room seat, carefully reading a docunt in his hand.
As if sensing sothing.
The Third Prince looked up, facing Baiyu, "Brother Bai, you’re finally here."
After saying that.
He enthusiastically stood up, walked up to Baiyu, and excitedly grasped Baiyu’s right hand, "When the incident in Zenith City happened, I couldn’t eat or sleep well. It was only when I confird you were okay that I was relieved."
The other party didn’t shy away from holding Baiyu’s hand.
Although the Third Prince is publicly a man, Baiyu knows she is actually a girl disguised as a man.
It’s believed that many people within the Royal Family also know about this.
Perhaps they think it’s easier to get things done in a male identity.
Jian Linyue observed the Third Prince’s attitude, further confirming her suspicions that the person was a loyal subordinate of the Third Prince and therefore had a way to control the Legendary Ship.
After all.
The Third Prince was once at the Tier Six Martial Artist level, capable of controlling the Legendary Ship Purple Cloud.
"The items Brother Bai brought back last ti were extrely useful and helped a lot. I just wonder if Brother Bai has any extras," the Third Prince spoke again.
This ti ntioning the Longevity Pill.
Baiyu shook his head, "The Third Prince knows how difficult they are to find. I risked my life just to acquire one, and I truly don’t have any more."
Shangguan Zi’s expectations fell through, but she didn’t show it.
She nodded, unconcerned.
She asked because she was curious about Baiyu’s ability to control the Legendary Ship, thinking with his skills, he might have acquired more Longevity Pills at the Silent Castle.
But now it seems.
She had indeed overthought it.
Baiyu’s words hadn’t triggered any of the magical items she carried, which ant he was telling the truth, with not a single lie.
A low-level martial artist.
Being able to gain anything from the Silent Castle was already a miracle.
Unfortunately.
Ever since Baiyu returned, the coordinates of the Boundary-breaking Stone had already been invalidated, making it impossible for him to enlist others to venture to the Silent Castle again.
Such a mysterious coordinate ford by the tides of the Spirit Realm was obtained at a high price.
Now it was just a useless stone.
After exchanging a few words.
The Third Prince finally straightened up seriously, signaling Jian Linyue with a glance.
This competent woman quickly opened a massive projection screen, displaying images of the outskirts of Maple Leaf County, one after another like a slideshow.
A dark curtain fell from the sky, enveloping the land.
The entire Maple Leaf County was sealed by this black barrier.
Baiyu’s expression changed.
This feeling indeed resembled the Simulation Realm.
But such a vast Simulation Realm was truly excessive.
If it enveloped the entire Maple Leaf County, who knows how many people would transform.
"Wait, magnify this image," Baiyu called out.
The Third Prince snapped his fingers, and Jian Linyue imdiately stopped the projection, enlarging the image of the borders of Maple Leaf County.
"What’s the matter?" the Third Prince asked curiously.
This image and the other images didn’t have much difference, showing the sa Simulation Realm-like scenes, with black material covering the ground.
The Third Prince had confird it.
All electronic communication devices cease to function within the Simulation Realm, and those sent inside have lost communication and haven’t returned yet.
"Look, there are iron debris floating in this darkness," Baiyu pointed sharply at a spot on the image, "And the Simulation Realm carries a bronze tint, I’ve seen a realm like this before."
"Seen? Where?" Jian Linyue couldn’t help but ask.
"The Church of the God of Steam and chanics, to be precise, an enforcer within the church, the enforcent squad leader of the Linjiang City Church," Baiyu replied.
The Third Prince squinted, "Are you saying this Simulation Realm is related to the Church of the God of Steam and chanics? If so, the situation in Maple Leaf County might have variables."
"Yes, if this Simulation Realm is an intensified version, it’s very similar. If I could see the situation on the ground, I might be able to confirm whether it is or not."
Baiyu replied.
The Third Prince remained silent for a mont.
"Baiyu, I need to make a trip to the front lines of Maple Leaf County. Would you join ? I just want to understand the situation in Maple Leaf County, as my royal brother is there, which worries ," the Third Prince stood up, a hint of determination on his face.
Of course.
Baiyu didn’t believe she would be so kind-hearted.
After all.
The struggle among the princes was extrely brutal, and the present one’s shrewdness was not weak.
"Third Prince, you know I just ca back from Maple Leaf County, and the resource consumption of the Legendary Ship is significant. I, as a poor man..."
"I’ll reimburse all expenses," the Third Prince interrupted, seemingly anticipating this, with no surprise.
"Then thank you, Third Prince," Baiyu agreed.
Even though the Third Prince usually spoke slowly, her actions were swift and decisive.
In the afternoon.
The Starship Purple Cloud rose from the waters of Wind Dove City.
