Why Are You Holding My Stuff?
[Inside the starfish-shaped Star Boat, Duobao Tonglao watches you outside Star Boat in the form of a divine dragon, and is deeply moved.]
"Is this guy even human...?"
[Duobao Tonglao is now genuinely questioning your race.]
Suddenly, she saw you transform back into human form.
"Hmph, without your ability to Ride Mist and Soar Clouds Divine Ability, you can't catch up with my Star Boat! Especially the higher the altitude, the slower you'll fly, but the Star Boat won't!"
[At this moment, Duobao Tonglao is extremely grateful to her past self for spending a great deal of money and time to build this special Star Boat named "Voyager".]
[If it weren't for this Star Boat, we wouldn't be able to escape today.]
[Before she could even feel happy for a second, Duobao Tonglao saw you outside the Star Boat, your hands gathering power.]
"You think you can destroy my Star Boat? Dream on!"
[Duobao Tonglao was very confident in the quality of her Star Boat.]
[If this were used as a shield, it would be of top-tier quality.]
[So she's completely ignoring you outside, focusing instead on accelerating the Star Boat and getting into the Star Lane to escape you.]
Unfortunately, she was overthinking it.
[You never intended to attack the Star Boat; you wanted to attack the Duobao Tonglao Star Boat!]
"Gale Force!"
[<Gale Force>, Divine Art of the Ji Family, utilizes the Divine Ability to Wind Control.]
[This technique, if executed correctly, can achieve the effect of striking from a distance.]
["What?!!"]
[While inside the Star Boat, Duobao Tonglao was suddenly struck by a powerful force, causing her to cough up blood and fly backward, crashing several times inside the Star Boat.]
[As it turned out, her Star Boat was indeed of excellent quality; despite her repeated ramming like a rubber ball, she couldn't break Star Boat.]
[But the entire Star Boat shook violently under this force, and its internal components scattered all over the ground.]
"Oops, I used too much force..."
The Voyager was clearly damaged.
[Because it has already begun to fall.]
[However, it's not a big problem; you or Duobao Tonglao can fix it later.]
[You descended from the sky like Superman, carrying this Star Boat.]
[After landing, you casually tossed the Star Boat aside, then roughly yanked open the Star Boat and dragged the unconscious Duobao Tonglao out.]
[With a forceful flick, you sent Duobao Tonglao flying freely, crashing through more than a dozen trees and helping her physically awaken.]
[When Duobao Tonglao woke up, the excruciating pain all over her body almost made her want to die.]
[Ever since she became famous for her Artifact Refining, she's been sought after wherever she goes, and even though she's Human Race, she still commands respect.]
[When have I ever suffered like this?]
"You could kill me but you don't, it seems you want to use my Artifact Refining abilities to do something for you."
[You lean against your Star Boat, a serene smile on your face.]
"That's right, or if you choose to die with dignity, I can grant your wish."
[Duobao Tonglao picked up a tree branch to support herself as she stood up, wiping the bloodstains from her body.]
["I'd rather live on my knees than die standing, haha..."]
"I didn't misjudge him."
"What do you want me to forge for you? Legendary- quality Post-celestial Spirit Treasure? Let me make it clear beforehand, I don't have that kind of skill. Even with Epic- quality treasures, I can't succeed every time."
"In fact, I don't need you to refine such high-quality Spirit Treasure for me. I might just need some Law Artifact and low-quality Spirit Treasure."
"That kind of scum, you could just grab any Artifact Refiner, why go through all that trouble to come to Fortune Star to find me? And offend the Winged God Sect for that?"
"I will destroy the Winged God Sect sooner or later, so what's there to be afraid of offending?"
I need you to refine something of low quality, but in large quantities.
I know you have a Daoist temple with many disciples. Write a letter, and I'll try to send it out to you and summon them all over."
[The Duobao Tonglao, hesitated for a moment before speaking.]
"Is there any reward? I'm asking on behalf of my apprentices. I can tell you hold a grudge against me, so I certainly won't offer any reward."
"Yes, yes, there's definitely compensation. It's a 9-to-5 job, five days on, two days off, with meals and accommodation included."
[The Duobao Tonglao could barely understand these Earthly expressions; they probably meant "no payment."]
She sighed.
[He's probably thinking about what excuse to use to lure his apprentices here, and then how to face them.]
"Chen Dong, aren't you afraid that if I stay alive, I might take revenge on you, or tamper with the Law Artifact or Spirit Treasure you need?"
"First question, I'm not afraid. You pose no threat to me. Second question, I also know how to Artifact Refining. Alright, follow me, that old embezzler is trying to slip away."
[You left a clone at the Winged God Sect General Sect Headquarters.]
[The clone tells you that the Archbishop, with the help of the Red-Robed Cardinal, has broken free of the Immortal-Binding Rope and is packing up the Source Stone and various valuables in the warehouse, preparing to flee.]
[The Archbishop and Red-Robed Cardinal of the Winged God Sect, usually high above, radiating divine brilliance, seemingly the spokesperson of the gods.]
[Right now, dragging her family along, carrying large bags and small storage bags, her hair disheveled, she's running away in a panic.]
[Seeing this scene, the image of the Church in the hearts of the city's residents was shattered for the second time.]
[The first time was half an hour ago, when you single-handedly routed the main force of the Winged God Sect Cult.]
"Archbishop, where are you headed to make your fortune? Why don't you take me with you?"
[You suddenly appeared above the Archbishop and the others, startling them so much they stumbled and fell.]
"You, how come you're back so soon...?"
"How long do you expect that old woman to stall? Besides, she's already bought you a lot of time. It's because you insisted on packing these things that you can't escape now."
The Archbishop and a group of Red-Robed Cardinal were ashamed.
[When they were speechless, unsure whether to run or not, you calmly said.]
"Why are you taking my things? Put them down!"
[These people slid to their knees at lightning speed, throwing all their valuables aside.]
"Please spare us, senior! We're just working for someone else!"
This is only the General Sect Headquarters of the Winged God Sect on the Fortune Star, not the General Sect Headquarters of the entire Winged God Sect!
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. If the Winged God Sect has offended you or harmed your family, go seek revenge from the highest levels. Killing us won't quell your anger!"
"If this were the headquarters of the Winged God Sect Cult, you would all be dead by now. What do you think I'm keeping you around for?"
The Winged God Sect are a Star System- level power, meaning their sphere of influence covers an entire Star System, and they may control several planets.
[The Fortune Star is just one of them.]
[Your grand plan this time only includes one piece of the puzzle for Fortune Star. You must take over the entire Winged God Sect to complete Qidian's strategic layout.]
[Therefore, we need to keep the Archbishop and others around, because they have a clearer understanding of the entire structure of the Winged God Sect, and you need their intelligence.]
