Splitting the Heavens

Chapter 1474: Jade Pendant

Of the 5 large-scale Star Ships belonging to the 3 Star Pirate groups that worked together to hunt down the Twin Star Pirates, 2 had been destroyed in a short period of time.

One had to know that the 3 Star Pirate groups could be considered strong forces, but large-scale Star Ships weren’t cabbages that grew at the side of the street. Those were all they had!

For 2 of them to be destroyed so easily, Fei Wuyang and the others felt their hearts bleeding.

Even more importantly, anyone in the Star Pirate groups who could operate the large-scale Star Ship were elite members. Those who were thrown into the void after the ship was destroyed were most likely dead.

What made things even more scary was that they didn’t even know who destroyed their Star Ships.

The destruction of the Star Ships was also why Fei Wuyang and the others no longer cared about the Ying Brothers. They rushed back to take control of their Star Ships.

That wasn’t all. After the 3 of them returned, they gave up on chasing the Twin Star Pirates. Instead, they quickly gathered together to form a basic battle formation to defend against any sudden attacks.

Facing the questioning of True Immortal Mei of the Essence Ling Heavenly Field, Fei Wuyang simply stated that he was taking precautions in case the enemy attacked suddenly, resulting in them having no choice but to back away.

True Immortal Mei understood that he had been played by the expert hiding in the dark and felt aggrieved, but Fei Wuyang’s explanation caused fear to appear in his heart. It was even more so when he learned that the 3 Star Pirate groups would be retreating and the Ying Brothers had returned to their Spirit Ark.

He had no choice but to leave as well, but he didn’t forget to throw down a few classic villain lines as he made his retreat. “This isn’t over! You sneaky bastard hiding in the dark best have thought this through. Do you really want to make an enemy out of my Essence Ling Heavenly Field?”

He didn’t wait for an answer as he turned to return to Fei Wuyang’s Star Ship. However, he wasn’t as composed as before as he fled in a hurry.

Even after the 3 Star Ships of the Star Pirate groups left, the hidden expert didn’t show himself.

Of course, it wasn’t as though the Star Pirate groups and True Immortal Mei didn’t know who was behind it. At the very least, the Myriad Tinted Cloud Talisman was a dead giveaway as to who had helped them.

They grabbed all the debris of the Twin Star Pirates, leaving only their final large-scale Star Ship who had True Immortal Tian Zhen’s subordinates, as they left.

The experts of the 3 Star Pirate groups might have left, but the large-scale Star Ship that used to belong to the Twin Star Pirates remained in place, not following any of them.

The Star Pirate groups sent transmissions for those on board friendly to their cause to retreat, but they received no response. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Experts on the Star Ships of the 3 Star Pirate groups suggested heading over to take a look at the situation, but they were forbidden by their leaders from stepping out.

True Immortal Mei stood on the deck of the Noon Yang Pirates’ Star Ship and looked at the Twin Star Pirates’ large-scale Star Ship that was disappearing in the distance as his expression sank.

Not long after, Fei Wuyang arrived to stand beside him. He also looked into the distance.

Fei Wuyang glanced at the jade pendant in True Immortal Mei’s hand and mumbled, “That person is most likely not on the Star Ship. What you’re holding is most likely something that can threaten the mysterious expert and they are more than likely waiting for you to use it up...”

True Immortal Mei’s expression changed slightly. The jade pendant he was holding was gripped tightly in his hand and he growled, “Is the Star Ship really just bait?”

Fei Wuyang nodded. “Your trump card holds the most threat when hidden. The moment you use it, there will be nothing stopping them.”

True Immortal Mei didn’t keep the pendant in his hand, but he no longer gripped it as tightly as before. “Who the hell are their reinforcements? How are they so strong that we can only retreat in such a sorry state? Even now, we don’t know who the hell they are. This is an embarrassment!”

Fei Wuyang snorted casually, “True Immortal Mei, you come from the Essence Ling Heavenly Field and you’re no Star Pirate. You have never experienced what we do most of the time. You should understand that staying alive in the Chaotic Sea of Stars is the greatest victory anyone can have. Of course they hope to remain hidden. However, now that they have saved the Twin Star Pirates, it is only a matter of time before their identity is revealed.”

“Is that so? Living is the greatest victory...” True Immortal Mei signed and kept the jade pendant. He finally revealed a smile. “I have to thank you for enlightening me. It’s true that I am not experienced enough. If I hadn’t been complacent and made my move the moment I revealed myself, we might have already taken down the Ying Brothers.”

Fei Wuyang’s lips twitched and a trace of anger flashed through his eyes. Resentment also filled his heart, but as a mighty Star Pirate, he had great control over his emotions and facial expressions. He quickly composed himself and laughed, “It’s fine! I believe we will work well together in the future!”

...

Shang Xia stood on the large-scale Star Ship that belonged to the Twin Star Pirates as he watched the Star Ships retreat slowly. He sighed to himself when he realized that they didn’t show any form of weakness for him to exploit.

Once he retracted his domain, the originally silent Star Ship seemed to come back to life. The auras of dozens of experts appeared suddenly.

With the Heaven Liberation Talisman guiding him, Shang Xia found the battlefield. After sending her a portion of his energy, he didn’t try to save the Ying Brothers or the Twin Star Pirates immediately as he wished to learn of the power backing them.

Fortunately, he was able to give Xin Lu the power of a third tier True Immortal to kill another opponent while he approached the other Star Ships.

When he observed them, he quickly discovered that the large-scale Star Ship that belonged to the Noon Yang Pirates wasn’t just hiding a fifth tier True Immortal. The fifth tier True Immortal also held a treasure that could threaten him!

It was definitely a rank seven treasure, and Shang Xia felt a sense of familiarity with it. It didn’t take him long to connect the dots to know that it came from the Sage of the Essence Ling Heavenly Field.

He was afraid the fifth tier True Immortal would use it on him and he refused to show himself. Unleashing the sixth move of his Six Harmony Rod Technique, Heaven Liberation. He bestowed his Six Direction Qi on several Martial Dipper Realm experts of the Twin Star Pirates, giving them strength at the Martial Void Realm. That was how they managed to fend off the attacks from the True Immortals.
