Bait

On the warship's deck, Shi Lan sat atop her horse, with a hundred mounted warriors behind her. They were the hundred Xiantian Realm warriors Bai Weiyang had transferred over.

Bai Weiyang still hadn't let Shi Lan go alone. Putting aside the fact that a lone target would be too small and insufficient as bait, how could he let a woman venture out alone as bait when the people aboard the entire warship hadn't even died yet?

Dozens of sealed wooden barrels and more than a dozen large vats of clean water were carried onto the deck by over ten Demon-Suppressing Army soldiers.

On the first level of the warship, Bai Weiyang
