Chapter 2033 Feng Shun's Arrival
Feng Shun looked down from the ship, gazing at the Morning Glory Clan below.
He could notice that things weren't the same as they were the last time he had been here. "They certainly look quite busy." Crown Princess Shang spoke seeing the scene below.
"They sure do…" The Crown Prince said before searching for the person they had come here for.
He guessed that Lin Mu would probably appear soon once he saw the ship. "Did you return his messages?" Crown Princess Shang asked.
"I'm doing it now." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied.
~Sigh~
"You're like… days late with it." Crown Princess Shang said with a sigh.
"Not my fault, we got stuck with that old man." Feng Shun replied. "He's a real stickler for rules… Didn't even let us have any contact outside." He added with a hint of frustration.
"You're the one who chose to go to him." Crown Princess Shang narrowed her eyes at Feng Shun.
"He's the only one who could modify this ship." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "If… we wanted to be on time anyways. If I used the formation masters and immortal tool refiners from the imperial court, they would have taken more than a month. They are good, but they already have too much work on their plate." He said in a helpless tone.
"I guess… At least we're here now." Crown Princess Shang replied before looking down as well.
And when she did, she noticed something peculiar.
"What's that?" She pointed to a particular place in the Morning Glory Clan that had clouds surrounding it.
"I don't know…" The Crown Prince found it rather strange too. The two immortals try to take a close look at it, but couldn't look past the clouds.
"What is that even… That's not something an immortal would be able to make." The Crown Prince's expression turned serious.
"Wait… aren't those clouds… the same as the Tournament?" Crown Princess Shang suddenly spoke.
Hearing that, the Crown Prince's eyes went wide. The two royals looked at each other and had a mutual understanding of what it might be now. ~gulp~
They both swallowed their saliva as a chill went down their spine. The events of the Finals were still fresh in their mind and they knew how dangerous it was. The Crown Prince had also understood just how strong Lin Mu's backing was from that.
Not only had he been saved, but even the Temple had not said anything with the interference of the external powers. The Emperor looked to be shaken as well, which showed that whoever it was, they were someone even the Immortal Court would have to take seriously.
With all these facts combined, the two knew they had to be careful here.
~SHUA~
Having trained there himself, he knew just how big of a stickler for rules the Immortal court was. As such, having to skip the red tape and descending to the Rust Sky World within a day's notice was certainly something. "Who would've thought that my niece and sister would enter the Celestial realm before me, ahaha~" The Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh.
"Since you're here, I suppose you are going to leave now?" Guang San inquired.
"As much as I'd like to stay a while, it is time for us to leave." Crown Prince Feng Shun answered. "We're in somewhat of a tight schedule." He added.
"Very well, I won't hold you up," Guang San replied. "But please do visit the Morning Glory Clan in your free time." He added.
"Of course." The Crown Prince nodded.
With that, they bid farewell and Lin Mu got onto the large ship.
~SHUA~
The ship then rose higher into the sky, while the arrays on it glowed.
Lin Mu observed it all with interest, guessing that this ship might be the reason why it took the Crown Prince this much time.
~WHOOSH~
A minute later, the ship was above the clouds before it started to move to the west.
"There we go," The Crown Prince said, letting go of the wheel.
The wheel was the control center for the entire ship and allowed one to control its movement. It could even move on its own, once a course had been set, making it very convenient.
"I'm guessing you recruited quite a lot of people?" Lin Mu asked, having already scanned the entire ship.
He could tell that there were over a hundred people on the ship, but not who they were. The internal areas were protected by various arrays, and as such, Lin Mu couldn't look at it in detail.
"Yes, I got as many people as I could." Crown Prince Feng Shun nodded. "Daoist Chu and Monk Hushu and others are below the deck as well, managing some matters." He added.
"I see," Lin Mu replied before looking in the direction that the ship was flying in. "So where are we going exactly? He asked the question that had been bugging him for a while.
After all, he still didn't know what their location for the expedition was.
"We're going to the ocean." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Our rendezvous point with the others is there." He added.
"How many more people are joining us exactly?" Lin Mu furrowed his brows. "And where's the location for the expedition?" He asked.
"Well… there are two more groups." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Once we meet up with the others, we'll be going further east into the ocean. As for the exact location, I do not know about it. What I do know is that it's an uncharted island." He revealed.
Hearing that, Lin Mu was a bit surprised. After all, going into the ocean was not a simple task.
