Facing Qian Daoliu's gaze, the two old men would have been lying if they said they weren't nervous. After all, this was the ancestor of their own family.
By now, both men had guessed Qian Daoliu's identity. Though they were elders of their family and had lived for who knew how long,
they were no match for the old man before them, whether in years lived, age, or seniority.
Qian Daoliu glanced at the two of them, his expression still relatively calm. "You bear the bloodline of my Angel Family. Though you no longer bear the surname Qian, you haven't brought shame upon the legacy of my family."
"I'm going to capture this remnant of the Holy Spirit Cult. When I have time, I'll pay your Yue Family a visit in person."
Qian Daoliu spoke calmly. Meeting his gaze, the two Supreme Elders exchanged a look, then hurriedly bowed in respect.
Seeing their own ancestor wave them away, they said nothing more and turned to leave.
Once the two had gone, both Supreme Elders were drenched in cold sweat.
Facing a First-Level God in their eyes, a terrifying force capable of destroying heaven and earth, even these two powerful Level 98 elders felt a trace of fear.
At the bow of the ship, Le Zhengyue quietly watched the scene, then returned to the cabin.
At his side, Jiang Nannan's eyes were filled with terror. She had seen what happened outside too: the woman's arrival, followed by Le Zhengyue subduing her.
"Are you insane?"
"Do you know who she is?"
"She's a Level 99 Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, one of its Supreme Elders! Her status is beyond anything you can imagine!"
"And instead of killing her, you're actually taking her with you?"
Jiang Nannan was so shocked and furious that she could barely get the words out.
But Le Zhengyue's expression didn't change in the slightest as he met her gaze. "If I've taken a liking to this woman, then she has the right to live. Or, to put it another way, she's still useful to me."
He saw the anger in Jiang Nannan's eyes and sensed what was going through her mind.
Jiang Nannan wanted to rush out and expose what had happened. But the next moment, Le Zhengyue's pale hand was already clamped around her throat.
A tremendous force bore down on her. Jiang Nannan's pupils contracted sharply, and her face began to redden, but Le Zhengyue's expression remained calm.
"Remember your place. You're only my maidservant, my woman. You have no right to meddle in my affairs. In other words, this isn't your business."
"I don't need to report what I do or decide to you, and you're not allowed to come and disturb me."
His gaze was cold as he stared intently at Jiang Nannan.
The girl opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but she didn't know what to do.
She clearly had the power of a Super Douluo within her, yet when faced with the young man's placid gaze, she nodded almost instinctively.
Seeing Jiang Nannan nod, Le Zhengyue calmly released her, then sat back down and continued studying the map before him, thinking about what came next.
As the ship pulled away, its horn sounded. Jiang Nannan sat there catching her breath, sneaking glances at Le Zhengyue.
The young man's figure remained straight and still as he sat in silence, his expression calm.
Watching him, Jiang Nannan bit her lip.
Nearly five days passed in a flash. When the Voyage Giant Ship docked, they had already made the swift journey back from Eastsea City to the Yue Family.
It wasn't that Le Zhengyue didn't want to find Xu Xiaoyan; it was that there was no need.
Or rather, he knew his older brother, Yue Zhengyu, wouldn't go looking for Xu Xiaoyan either. He planned to wait until the two met, perhaps even fell in love, before taking this so-called sister-in-law for himself.
Of course, there was a good chance the two would never meet.
But since he looked like Yue Zhengyu, he didn't mind dressing up as him and indulging in a little twisted, sadistic fun.
At the thought of his older brother, and how meeting Tang Wulin might expose his identity, Le Zhengyue had already decided to eliminate him. He had even figured out how.
He would also go to Shrek Academy. Right now, Shrek Academy was unquestionably the strongest force on the continent.
It had not only brought together Shrek Academies from two continents, but also had at least four Limit Douluo among its ranks—and perhaps as many as six or seven.
No other place had such a terrifying lineup. Only by going to Shrek Academy could he protect himself—or, to put it another way, hide from everyone else.
It would also give him a better chance of meeting women like Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Yuanen Yehui.
"Ugh, it's still too slow. I wonder how Tang San is doing."
"I can only see his location. He's reached Heaven Dou City by now; maybe he's already met with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or some other sect."
"Still, though Qian Daoliu is stationed on the First Continent as a top powerhouse, he probably won't support Bibi Dong."
"Things shouldn't get too chaotic until Bibi Dong becomes the Rakshasa God too."
Le Zhengyue's voice was low, and a trace of fatigue showed in his eyes.
At this stage, the situation wasn't under his control. The three continents would only grow more chaotic as time went on.
The Spirit Hall couldn't possibly establish the Spirit Hall Empire right now, because both great empires also had people reborn from the future.
They could naturally see what Spirit Hall was planning, so they would do everything they could to stop it.
But with Qian Daoliu, a top powerhouse, stationed there, and two people who had returned from the future, Spirit Hall's strength far exceeded what the others imagined.
And Spirit Hall was bound to establish the Spirit Hall Empire. It might even do so ahead of schedule.
That was why the First Continent was full of conflict.
There was no need to even mention the Second Continent. Its four great empires were at war with one another.
Though things looked peaceful on the surface, some of the empires were appealing to the First Continent for help, bringing in Spirit Hall's powerful forces, while others were inviting the so-called Mecha Battle Armor and all kinds of powerful Soul Tools from the Third Continent.
In this situation, the Soul Tools of the Sun-Moon Empire, which should have held the advantage, were directly outclassed by its own descendants from ten thousand years in the future.
The Soul Tools of the Sun-Moon Federation were more advanced and sophisticated. They had completely crushed the Sun-Moon Empire's advantage in Soul Tools, leaving the battles between the empires on their side far from smooth.
And under these circumstances, the Third Continent, which should have had the smoothest path, needed no further explanation.
The two Shrek Academies had joined forces, with more than four Limit Douluo between them. Could the Sun-Moon Federation not be worried sick?
The conflict between the Sun-Moon Federation and Shrek was especially fierce. At this point, the Sun-Moon Federation would have loved nothing more than to wipe Shrek Academy out.
But with the two Shrek Academies merging, Shrek Academy's strength had also become explosively powerful—so powerful it was almost absurd.
So the current situation was a complete mess. Both Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy had their own plans, especially given their history of enmity.
Spirit Hall had been destroyed by Tang San's ancestor. Though that "freak" Tang San had also come back to life, most people still knew who he was.
So the Shrek Academy on the Third Continent had no love for Spirit Hall either.
And Spirit Hall's feelings were no secret. Shrek Academy had risen by trampling over its corpse. How could Spirit Hall not have designs on such an enemy?
So, as for the tangled chaos between the three continents, all Le Zhengyue could do was laugh.
He could only take things one step at a time. Even he couldn't make any long-term plans.
