The Kunlun fleet.
On a frigate, Wan Qing, draped in a cloak, stood before a porthole.
From beneath her lowered hood, two gazes passed through the window and looked out over the vast sea.
Wan Qing's gaze seemed unfocused, as though she were deep in thought.
Yet at that moment, she was "seeing" the scene in the Forbidden Land's great ocean trench. She saw "Phantom" ahead, its back pressed against the hidden rock strata, seemingly lying in ambush.
"What exactly are you doing?"
"Ever since you entered the sea, you've been lying in wait near the trench without catching any Nether Fish. Now you're even hiding in ambush. Are you planning to ambush the Overlord?"
Since Luo Yan entered the sea yesterday, Wan Qing had used Puppet Control Technique to control the creatures on the seafloor.
She had changed targets several times during that period. Only now had she managed to bury a strand of Spirit Thread inside a deep-sea fish, allowing her to monitor "Phantom."
Just as Wan Qing was watching "Phantom," the mecha suddenly turned its head toward her.
Of course.
She knew the mecha was not looking at her, but at the deep-sea fish she controlled.
Wan Qing instinctively tried to control the deep-sea fish and make it leave, but then she reconsidered. If Red Ghost had truly noticed something, the fish leaving now would only arouse his suspicion.
I refuse to believe Red Ghost can see through my Puppet Control Technique!
She gritted her teeth and made the deep-sea fish swim nearby, feeding on the microorganisms in the water.
At that moment, she "saw" the mecha turn its head back. It seemed that Red Ghost had merely scanned his surroundings, preparing for the ambush to come.
Only then did Wan Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
