Chapter 1 The Overture

Qianli Wuya carefully reviewed the combat video recorded by the members of the Water Ghost Legion, his expression becoming serious.

"How could she be so powerful?"

In the combat video, Shuise蔷薇 (Shuise Qiangwei) was able to withstand the main cannon attacks of the Behemoth-class warship single-handedly, and even cause damage to the warship. One strike destroyed dozens of speedboats. Such terrifying power was something even large-scale destruction magic couldn't achieve. After all, each speedboat had a certain magic resistance and was made of extremely strong materials; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to deal with sea beasts.

However, Shuise蔷薇 (Shuise Qiangwei) was able to destroy them with a single strike, indicating that her attacks had an extra damage effect against ships.

"Vice-Guild Leader, is something the matter?" Chenji Sanyue, dressed in a grey robe and surrounded by the aura of death, looked at Qianli Wuya's solemn expression and asked curiously.

"Lie Huang's ambush failed." Qianli Wuya immediately relayed the message to Chenji Sanyue, "And it was a terrible defeat. This time, the Water Ghost Legion alone suffered over 70% casualties. Dozens of ordinary and advanced speedboats were destroyed, and six Bronze-rank speedboats and one Mysterious-Iron-rank speedboat were seized."

"How is that possible!" Chenji Sanyue said in disbelief, "Could it be that Dragon Phoenix Pavilion was also prepared and deployed its entire fleet for battle?"

The five fleets led by Lie Huang were all elite fleets of their Divine Relics Guild. Coupled with the power of the Water Ghost Legion, unless Dragon Phoenix Pavilion deployed its entire fleet, it was hard to imagine such heavy losses.

"No! It was all the work of one person." Qianli Wuya shook his head.

"One person?" Chenji Sanyue couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, the power of one person." Qianli Wuya said with great envy, "Lie Huang, with his strength from a high-level inheritance, was no match. I suspect she may have obtained a top-tier maritime inheritance and special weapons and equipment, otherwise, she wouldn't be so strong."

Maritime inheritances were something that all the major super forces coveted.

Battles between major forces were ultimately battles between players. The main purpose of ships was to deal with sea beasts. Their effectiveness in player battles was not very significant, relying mainly on the players' strength at sea.

Just an ordinary maritime inheritance could increase a player's combat power at sea by more than 50%, not to mention a high-level inheritance.

He had spent a lot of effort to obtain a high-level inheritance for Lie Huang, losing many guild elites and experts, but it was worth it, because Lie Huang's combat power at sea was indeed astonishing, greatly helping against both sea beasts and players.

Now, Shuise蔷薇 (Shuise Qiangwei), suspected of obtaining a top-tier inheritance, made him even more envious and jealous. And watching that battle made him even more convinced of the importance of maritime inheritances.

"Then Vice-Guild Leader, what do we do now? Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's reinforcements probably won't take long to arrive, making it even harder for us to kill Feng Qianyu." Chenji Sanyue said worriedly.

"Since the reinforcements have already arrived, then there's no need for us to waste any more time. Anyway, the inheritance treasure is already in our hands, and the initial goal has been achieved. Let everyone retreat!" Qianli Wuya smiled, "For now, let Feng Qianyu and Zero Wing Guild be proud for a while. When we complete the inheritance, then the entire Sea of Death will be under our control!"

By the time Qing Huang received the news, they had already had a battle with Feng Qianyu on Barbarian God Island. By the time Qing Huang and the others arrived, the battle was already over. Although they didn't manage to seize everything, the most important inheritance treasure was already in their hands. If it weren't for the remaining treasures, they wouldn't have wasted time with Feng Qianyu on Barbarian God Island.

Although Zero Wing's arrival and the losses of the Water Ghost Legion were somewhat unexpected, they were nothing compared to the inheritance treasure they obtained.

"Yes! I will have everyone evacuate Barbarian God Island as soon as possible." Chenji Sanyue immediately began to contact the members scattered on Barbarian God Island, ordering everyone to retreat quickly.

As the order was issued, the members of the Divine Relics Guild scattered on Barbarian God Island began to retreat one after another.

"Guild Leader, the people from the Divine Relics Guild are acting strangely; they're all withdrawing from the canyon."

A Tier 2, Level 57 female ranger, using Eagle Eye, discovered that the members of the Divine Relics Guild who were originally searching for them had all left. Now, there wasn't a single member of the Divine Relics Guild within her Eagle Eye range.

"They're not chasing us?" Feng Qianyu, sitting under a tree recovering her stamina, said strangely, "Have Qing Huang and the others arrived? No! With Qianli Wuya's personality, he wouldn't give up so easily. Could it be that something unexpected happened that forced them to give up?"

She knew very well the strength of Qing Huang's team.

Just getting past the blockaded Barbarian God Island was already difficult enough. Even if they reached Barbarian God Island and joined up with them, all they could do was stall for time until the main force of Dragon Phoenix Pavilion arrived. There was no way they could make Qianli Wuya give up such a good opportunity.

"Guild Leader, there's a situation!" An assassin who had infiltrated the edge of Barbarian God Island suddenly reported, "The ships that were blockading Barbarian God Island are all gone."

"The Divine Relics Guild lifted the blockade?" Feng Qianyu was even more surprised, "What is Qianli Wuya thinking?"

Because of the blockade of Barbarian God Island, they were unable to escape; otherwise, they would have left long ago and wouldn't have been chased after. Now that the blockade was lifted, it meant that they could escape at any time, but what she didn't understand was why Qianli Wuya would give up such a great opportunity.

"Guild Leader, there's another new situation. The Divine Relics Guild's Behemoth-class warship is coming over, but it looks severely damaged. Two of the main sails are damaged, and the number of ships in the fleet is also much smaller. It seems like they've been through a major battle. Now, a large number of Divine Relics Guild members seem to be boarding the warship, preparing to leave Barbarian God Island." The hidden assassin, looking at the huge warship on the shore and the large number of Divine Relics Guild members, said in shock.

Feng Qianyu's mind was completely muddled upon hearing the assassin's report.

She completely didn't understand what was going on.

The Divine Relics Guild's warship Behemoth was no joke. It was even more powerful than the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's warship. In naval battles, it was a mobile fortress. It was hard to imagine that the Divine Relics Guild's proud Behemoth-class warship would be so badly damaged that the Divine Relics Guild had to give up Barbarian God Island and retreat immediately.

"Everyone, get ready. We're going to evacuate Barbarian God Island!" Feng Qianyu thought for a moment and decided to go out and see what was happening first.

"Guild Leader, could this be a trap by the Divine Relics Guild, making us careless and pretending to retreat to set up an ambush." A female priest said.

The current situation was too bizarre, making it necessary to be cautious.

"The Divine Relics Guild shouldn't do that. After all, it's the Behemoth-class warship. There's no need to damage the precious Behemoth-class warship like that just to deal with us. It should be that the Divine Relics Guild had a battle with some super force and was defeated, so they have to retreat quickly now." Feng Qianyu shook her head. She had considered this possibility, but it was extremely unlikely. Ordinary repair shops couldn't repair warships, and it was not worth losing such a powerful warship just to deal with them.

Before long, Feng Qianyu led the remaining members out of the canyon, cautiously heading towards the edge of Barbarian God Island. On the way, they didn't encounter a single member of the Divine Relics Guild. The whole way was completely safe.

"Which super force fought with the Divine Relics Guild?"

Looking at the situation along the way, Feng Qianyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. In her impression, she couldn't think of any super force that could do such a thing.

"Guild Leader, look, Qing Huang and the others are here." The Tier 2 female ranger stood on the shore, pointed to the fleet coming from a distance, and waved.

Feng Qianyu looked in the direction the female ranger was pointing, her expression extremely surprised.

Qing Huang was indeed coming, but around Qing Huang were fleets of the Divine Relics Guild everywhere. However, what was puzzling was that these fleets of the Divine Relics Guild didn't approach Qing Huang and the others at all. They were just observing from a distance, as if they were afraid of something.

As Qing Huang and the others got closer and closer, several sailboats and speedboats that Feng Qianyu didn't recognize appeared in the ships led by Qing Huang. Feng Qianyu was very familiar with the leading sailboat.

"Zero Wing Guild?" Feng Qianyu looked at Shi Feng and the others on the Unicorn Sailboat in astonishment, her heart filled with unspeakable shock, "Could it be that they did it?"
