Interception

Although they concealed their cultivation levels through certain means, it is very difficult to change a person's behavioral logic.

Shisui discovered long ago that the creatures of Ruolan Star were more dependent on Psychic Energy than he had imagined.

Just as humans in their past lives relied on firearms, money, and power, Ghouls rely on their Kagune and strength.

Most life forms on the Ruolan Star are extremely dependent on Psychic Energy —the energy that surrounds them from birth.

They used Psychic Energy as a standard to judge the strength of things they had never met.

Their instincts allow them to form their default first impression of strangers based on the amount of Psychic Energy or their level of spiritual cultivation.

Therefore, Shisui speculates that Bo Xiwan and Xue Jiuyao's cultivation levels are most likely above the First Realm of the Profound Realm.

That's why they tolerated their own probing and naturally placed themselves in a superior position.

They implicitly assumed they were the stronger party, while "Yue Jian" was a weaker, manipulable character.

Shisui could sense a subconscious contempt for those in lower positions in their gazes.

To be honest, while Shisui was somewhat annoyed by this, he had also become accustomed to it.

"Oh!"

A sneer crept Shisui, a wicked glint in his eyes.

The only question is whether those who treat him like an easy target will be able to get used to his rapid growth.

Shisui casually walked to the bedside and sat down. Fine Feather Powder fell with his movement, drifting in the air.

He sensed his surroundings and found that the small room was gradually being filled with Feather Powder containing Spatial Energy, completely isolating it from the outside world.

Ukaku evolved into Feather Powder by relying on the Profound Realm's ability to interfere with external Psychic Energy.

This evolved new form is much smaller than the sheet-like Radiant Feathers.

Although they cannot be controlled remotely, they are convenient and consume very little energy.

With the Feather Powder acting as a barrier, Shisui was able to conceal his Psychic Energy fluctuations.

Combined with Ukaku's spatial folding, he completely concealed himself in the shadows.

However, Shisui is currently only at the early stage of the Profound Realm First Realm, and his use of external Psychic Energy is still in its initial stage, and he is not yet proficient in controlling the Feather Powder.

Therefore, he did not rashly use the Feather Powder in front of Bo Xiwan and Xue Jiuyao.

Shisui summoned newly accumulated Flesh Crystals from the Alternate Space, and the bright red cubes suddenly filled the already small room.

Kagune were released, and as they were swung around, they began to absorb energy and wriggle to envelop his entire body.

[Metamorphosis], activated.

A huge merchant ship is sailing steadily on the wide channel of the Wunu River.

It gently pushed aside the remaining mist on the water's surface and headed downstream.

The rushing water propelled the boat, indicating that the elevation of the Wunu River was slowly decreasing.

As the merchant ships sailed south, the fiery red along the coast gradually faded, and lush greenery began to appear.

The further away you go from Chen City and southward, the fewer cedar trees there are, gradually being replaced by evergreen trees.

When the river calmed down a bit, the merchant ships left the Ten-Thousand-Fathom Plains and entered the rainforest region with its clear waters and green mountains.

Because the Wealth-Bringing Caravan set off first, at this moment, only this one cargo ship is visible, its silhouette enveloped in lush greenery as it moves forward.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The faint sound was drowned out by the roar of the merchant ship's Psychic Energy Thrusters.

Therefore, when the huge interception net appeared out of nowhere in the river ahead, the merchant ships didn't even have time to stop and crashed straight into it.

The barrier was knocked backward quite a distance before finally bringing the massive vessel to a stop.

Immediately afterwards, many birds and beasts darted out from the surrounding mountains and forests, and in the next moment they arrived on the deck of the Fortune-Bringing Merchant Ship.

In the instant the ship suddenly slowed down, Shisui abruptly broke free from evolution.

He untied the biological cocoon, got out of bed, and in the instant he walked toward the door, Feather Powder swirling in the air was drawn back.

The Kagune, which had coiled into a cocoon, opened and closed in a single, seamless motion.

His Kakugan and white hair were quickly swallowed up by the pigment produced in his body, turning into a restrained black.

As Shisui opened the door and walked out, everything instantly returned to the state of pretense he had when he entered.

He locked the door and walked towards the deck.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the deck was heavy.

A large group of invading Beastfolk, dressed in uniform insignia, were confronting the workers who had just boarded the deck.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

A strange sound suddenly came from the sky.

When everyone looked up, they saw a circling falcon-like Beastfolk holding a loudspeaker and broadcasting a report.

"This is the Myriad-Blade Rainforest Demon Race Wunu River Garrison, belonging to the demon clan. Martial law has been declared in this area."

"Please have all boats on the river dock at the shore to cooperate with our inspection."

"You have entered the territory of the Beastfolk in the Myriad-Blade Rainforest. Please present a valid merchant's certificate or temporary pass."

The announcement echoed across the river, Shisui Sui heard it clearly the moment he poked his head out.

His eyes darkened, and he quietly applied Feather Powder to his body.

This is a subtle adjustment to the Psychic Energy fluctuations emanating from oneself.

Now, any creature below the Earth Realm would consider him to be a newly promoted early- First Realm Profound Realm.

Although the reason why the Beastfolk blocked the flight path is still unknown, it is most likely related to the events in Qiongfang City.

Shisui displayed just the right amount of tension, stepping onto the deck like a Caravan guard simply wary of intruders.

He didn't intend to attract too much attention.

So he walked up to a young worker who had come onto the deck from another exit and asked him, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

What happened?

"Holy shit!"

The young freight worker was startled by Shisui's sudden appearance.

Only after seeing the impressive appearance of the newcomer did they realize that this was someone from their own Caravan.

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Sorry, I was just startled."

So, what exactly happened?

"Uh, I just got here too, so I'm not entirely sure what's going on."

"However, I think I just heard that we were stopped by the Beastfolk army."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"It's alright, it's alright, you're too kind."

The moment the two began their conversation, the person in charge appeared.

Bo Xiwan walked leisurely onto the deck, followed by Xue Jiuyao.

The workers couldn't handle the current Beastfolk army; they were already waiting for their boss to appear.

Therefore, the workers standing closer to the entrance and exit immediately spotted Bo Xiwan approaching.

"Boss!"

Upon hearing him call him "boss," everyone around immediately realized who he was.

They all made way for their boss to come forward.

Bo Xiwan naturally led Xue Jiuyao through the crowd that had split in two.

He stood before the temporary leader of the Beastfolk army, his gentle voice carrying an inexplicable air of authority.

"Fellow Beastfolk, I am the owner of this ship, the boss of the Wealth-Bringing Caravan, Bo Xiwan."

"What instructions do you have?"
