Chapter 207: Chapter 204: Return Fully Loaded, Ambushed at Sea

Squeak, squeak...

The Daoist talismans and foundations of the Zhong family father and son, who were Yan Masters, screamed like insects, twisting their bodies as they burrowed out from their limbs and bodies.

Gradually, they transformed into two clusters of disgusting "tapeworms" that resembled black and red threads.

It was as if the two men were originally nothing but living puppets, animated only by the threads that permeated their bodies.

The "activeness" and weirdness of the Luban Ruler indeed far surpassed that of ordinary deceit objects.

It had returned to silence following the death of the Zhong family father and son.

Now, attracted by these two clusters of "tapeworms," it unexpectedly emitted more than a dozen puppet tethers.

Like lightning, they stuck to one end of these "tapeworms" and devoured them like noodles.

The movement was extremely skillful.

It made one inevitably suspect that the origins of these puppet tethers inside it might not have lacked the selfless contributions of generations of Yan Masters from the Colorful Play Tower.

Seeing that Zhou Jinhuan and General Tang He had been transformed, they became two "living puppets."

Wang Yuan, suppressing the revulsion in his heart, stepped forward and briskly swept several Enlightenment Immortal Lights, storing the Luban Ruler in his bag.

However, it seemed as if the Enlightenment Immortal Light could not purify the living weirdness.

Perhaps because of its inherently super active nature, the Luban Ruler, even after being purified, did not give much face to Wang Yuan, its master.

Besides routinely spitting out a Rashamon Bone, the strict precepts and taboos did not lessen at all.

One still had to bear the risk of permanently turning into a puppet in order to use it.

Moreover, since Wang Yuan had not cultivated the Daoist skills of the Colorful Play Tower,

even if he successfully created "living puppets," he probably couldn’t achieve the same lifelike and deceiving appearance as the masters, not to mention their combat power.

For now, he could only use the Luban Ruler as a surprising ability to control the situation, which could be incredibly effective in certain specific situations.

"However, we really do have a deep connection, as this Luban Ruler is the second deceit object from ’the Six Desires Human Dao’ to fall into my hands.

Like the Life Trading Coin, it is an essential main material for crafting Taoist Inheritance Artifacts.

Speaking of which, why do I feel like I have a predestined connection with the soon-to-emerge ’Taoist Inheritance Artifact·Six Desires Human Dao Umbrella’?

Could it be that this treasure is truly fated to be mine?"

As Wang Yuan’s thoughts raced,

The Earth Official Ghost Baby had already picked up the Luban Ruler and "click, click" transformed into a small puppet.

Then it gently waved at Zhou Jinhuan and Tang He, who were standing stiffly.

Their puppet state was instantly lifted, and they merely swayed their bodies but maintained balance due to the powerful control of the Dao General over their bodies.

At this time, Huang Wu had already reverted from her Phoenix Transformation and turned back into that beautiful 15-year-old girl.

Stepping on a breeze, she slowly floated down in front of Zhou Jinhuan.

Lifting her head, she stared at the face that had changed too much in the past fifteen years, slightly tilted her head, and called out with some uncertainty,

"Jinghuan?"

"Sister! It’s me!"

Contrary to Huang Wu, who had lost her memories from before her death,

27-year-old Zhou Jinhuan, seeing his sister who still looked 15, felt as if he had returned to his childhood when he had followed the girl around endlessly.

With their stepmother Qingyan to shelter them from the harsh realities of ruthless plots and bloody storms,

In that cold and indifferent vast Prince Mansion, following his mother’s death early, stepmother Qingyan and his half-sister Yunhe were Zhou Jinhuan’s last kin.

Those days were also what he yearned for during countless nights at midnight, yet they were the most cherished memories he could never return to in this lifetime.

In the past, Zhou Jinhuan had imagined countless times the scene of reuniting with his stepmother and sister.

Thinking he was undoubtedly going to die today, this wish was no longer attainable.

Yet, unexpectedly, as he turned around, there she was in the dim light.

The sister he had missed day and night had not only come back but also had magnificently saved his life.

Watching the beautiful girl blend with his memories, overwhelmed with emotions, tears slowly slid down his cheeks.

Blinking back tears, he stepped forward, wanting to embrace Huang Wu forcefully, fearing it was just a fleeting dream.

Bang!

However, taking that step, he unexpectedly bumped into a "wall."

Wiping his tears and focusing, he saw that he had run into the "wealthy" young man accompanying his sister.

He stood firmly in front of his sister Yunhe, with a stern face, glaring at him defensively.

Although Wang Yuan was only 15 years old, he was just a half-step away from advancing to Dao General and was not much shorter than Zhou Jinhuan.

Standing there, he effectively shielded the little ghost girl.

After a moment of shock, Zhou Jinhuan felt an inexplicable sense of crisis rising in his heart, and his look towards Wang Yuan also turned hostile.

This was probably the sixth sense innate to every "little brother."

Every brother who was tasked with guarding the vegetable garden was always on the alert against those trying to woo their beautiful sister!

And the handsome, wealthy, and capable man who seemed all too well-matched with his sister now sent a clear danger signal to Zhou Jinhuan.

A rival for life!

If things went wrong, he might lose his sister again.

Indeed, his intuition was not at all wrong.

Wang Xiaoyuan was just such a "pig" with ulterior motives.

From the dream woven by Young Master Huadie, he knew this guy who simultaneously played the roles of cousin and "pig."

He was always prepared to steal from himself while also contemplating turning Zhou Jinhuan, his big cousin, into his little uncle!

So.

’Little Huang Wu is mine!’

With the power of 112 Netherworld Ghost Soldiers all bestowed upon himself, Wang Yuan was not afraid of Zhou Jinhuan in a straightforward clash.

Crackling...

Their gazes collided, and there were even faint sparks flying.

"Xiao Yuan, Jinghuan, in the future, we are all one family, you two must not have conflicts, do you hear?"

Seeing that they weren’t getting along, Huang Wu hurriedly made formal introductions and also explained her current situation to Zhou Jinhuan.

Although her memory was missing, the emotional ties in her heart were not diminished, and she quickly reassumed the role of the big sister.

She easily suppressed the squabbling between her blood brother and cousin.

"These bastards, they really deserve to die!"

Zhou Jinhuan, after hearing about his sister’s tragic past, felt both pain and anger in his heart, trembling all over.

He also felt more grief than despair towards his father, Zhou Wenrui, who was the manipulator behind this.

But looking at Wang Yuan, his cousin by his concubine aunt, his gaze softened significantly.

Putting himself in their shoes.

If he had been in their perilous situation, could he have successfully escaped and managed to pit the Owl God Tomb, and the entire Yifan?

The answer was obviously no.

Handsome, rich, responsible, capable, and most importantly, dark-hearted.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was a "pig" eyeing his beautiful sister, having such a cousin would actually be very nice.

After Tang He, who grew up with them, choked up and greeted Huang Wu, the two could not help discussing the past, attempting to awaken more of Huang Wu’s memories.

"Dharma Master!"

At this time, Mr. One-Eyed, who was in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, also delivered another Heart Communication Conch from Zheng Bangjie’s body to Wang Yuan’s hands.

Its capabilities and Precepts Taboos were almost identical to the first one.

An artifact that controlled the Weird, no matter how many there were, they were never too many, Wang Yuan naturally accepted it with a happy smile.

Taking advantage of the moment Huang Wu and others were chatting, he walked alone to the shelf and purchased the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror which he had already seen via Ghost Ear Listening.

Zhou Jinhuan had just tried to buy it, obviously unsure whether he knew the whereabouts of his aunt or if he could save her from trouble.

Adding an extra measure of security was a good idea for him as well.

While at it, he also took the Human Dao Relic, the Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown.

Having already formed the Merit Golden Wheel and fulfilling the conditions to use such treasures, he naturally had more than enough ability.

With the wealth and lifespan in the Money Box as backing, acquiring them was just a drop in the bucket.

Upon returning, he only needed to reopen the membership-based Deceit Market; a cup of tea’s time would suffice to earn the money back.

At this moment.

After eliminating the initial unfamiliarity, Huang Wu also asked the question she cared most about and which was their main purpose for this sea voyage.

"Jinghuan, do you know where mother was imprisoned by father... that person?"

No sooner had her voice faded than the entire Great Yan Treasure Ship shook slightly, beginning to turn transparent.

Clearly, the transaction time had ended, and it was about to disappear once more.

Fireworks burst again in front of Wang Yuan.

"Have a good journey, boss, and welcome to come again!"

Perhaps as a treatment for VIPs, he found he could freely choose the place to leave.

Grabbing Huang Wu, he resolutely chose the Treasure Ship they had arrived on with Zhou Jinghuan.

"According to my investigation, there is an eighty percent chance that the Empress Mother is in Yunhe County. Regarding the exact address, how about we return to land and verify it together after we leave this place?"

"Good!"

However.

Just as the Deceit·Great Yan Treasure Ship completely disappeared, and they, along with the puppet crew, returned to their own Treasure Ship in an instant,

the density of Tribulation Energy above Wang Yuan’s head reached a peak in the blink of an eye.

The group also noticed the abnormal situation on the distant sea surface immediately.

"Is that... Mr. Wufeng’s fleet?"

Unbeknownst to them, three miles away from the Great Yan Treasure Ship, a vast group of pirate ships bearing the Wufeng insignia had surrounded them.

"Fire the cannons!"

Seeing the people reappear, a thunderous shout like a clap of thunder echoed through the clouds and heavens.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

For a moment, it seemed as if the entire sea was trembling.

The orange-red glow illuminating the sea surface also tinted the eyes of Wang Yuan and his companions red.
