Chapter 476: Chapter 398: Small Temple, Big Demons; Dragon City, Many Suns!

"Shift the attack angle three inches to the left!"

"Move the formation forward five centimeters!"

Wei Chenghai and Qin Jin barely freed themselves from Chen Nuoyi’s control and were still trembling all over when Su Yuan issued another command.

At the same time, he also forcibly ordered the injured Lin Yonghua to continue fighting.

And so, under Su Yuan’s command, the three Golden Core powerhouses, usually so shrewd in using their own advantages in combat, began to make all sorts of mistakes.

Even though Chen Nuoyi dared not reveal the complete ’Blessing of Star Shattering’ Divinity Transformation Inheritance and the core effect of the Dragon Emperor True Body in front of the public, and the Thousand Gold Sword and other modern Magical Treasures still put the three Golden Core cultivators to flight.

Ten minutes later, Chen Nuoyi seized an opportunity and, facing the attacks of the other two, tightly grabbed Wei Chenghai, punching him in the head repeatedly, forcibly flattening it.

For a Golden Core cultivator, getting their head flattened isn’t fatal, but under the shock force’s influence, Wei Chenghai fainted.

Chen Nuoyi tossed him into the ship’s cabin, and immediately a crew member disguised by Motis’ avatar appeared to guard Wei Chenghai.

The Seven Demon Generals under the Blood God Sect had thus lost three members, all falling at Chen Nuoyi’s hands.

With one less attacker, Chen Nuoyi was considerably more relaxed and dealt with Qin Jin and Lin Yonghua more freely.

But the other pirate captains couldn’t stand it, repeatedly urging Su Yuan to take action, repel Feng Xuanxiang, and rescue the hostage.

Perceiving the pirates’ strong dissatisfaction and their subtle suspicion of Lin Yonghua and others’ manipulation, Su Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to temporarily retreat.

He had already taken down two Golden Core cultivators with his superb maneuvering, and if he continued, the Blood Soul True Monarch might really beat him up.

So he immediately ordered Lin Yonghua and Qin Jin to retreat and quietly lifted the cognitive alterations on them.

Upon returning to the Gold Hunting Ship, the pirate captains surrounded him.

A hot-tempered captain shouted:

"Su the Saint, didn’t you say that with you presiding, there’d be absolutely no problem? Why is Wei Chenghai still captured?"

Another captain also said angrily:

"You clearly had many opportunities to make a move just now, why didn’t you repel Feng Xuanxiang and rescue the person?"

Listening to the captains’ verbal assaults, Su Yuan calmly said:

"I know you’re anxious, but hold on a bit."

"The Blood God Sect’s failure this time has nothing to do with me at all; it’s entirely Wei Chenghai and the others’ own problem! They’re the ones who need to take responsibility!"

The captains: "..."

Seriously, where do you get the nerve to say that!

Su Yuan continued:

"You saw it yourselves, I issued the correct instructions, yet they insisted on misinterpreting my meaning, messing around—absolutely no sense of teamwork."

"In such circumstances, for Wei Chenghai’s capture to be blamed on me only shows that you guys are adept at shirking responsibilities."

Captain Jin opened his mouth, wanting to defend his colleagues, but Su Yuan waved his hand sharply, saying:

"Enough, enough, since you mud-legs don’t understand my good intentions, do as you please in the upcoming battle, this Saint won’t care anymore."

"If you lose again, I’ll see what else you have to say."

The captains: "..."

At this moment, their hearts were filled with resentment; they felt more wronged than ever before in their lives.

Why can the leaders of the Blood God Sect be so cunning!

But in the end, they gritted their teeth and held back.

So, Su Yuan isn’t commanding this time?

Very well, they’ll make sure to fight splendidly in the upcoming battles, to slap this kid in the face!

The captains were fuming, unprecedentedly eager to prove themselves.

But just then, they caught a glimpse of something amiss from the corners of their eyes.

They saw huge warships appearing on the distant sea surface, speeding towards them with the help of the Acceleration Array, reaching their location in less than ten minutes.

And on the masts of these battleships hung banners inscribed with Spiritual Runes.

[Su]!

The Su-character banners!

For a moment, the pirates almost thought these were Su the Saint’s subordinates.

But when the pirates clearly saw the armored troops on the warships, who were obviously government soldiers, it suddenly dawned on them that this was the government’s military force.

Lin Yonghua, who was severely injured and recuperating, couldn’t help but look up at the banner and the troops on the warships.

Soon, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Because among those troops, he saw many familiar faces.

Those people were all young descendants captured and transformed from the Four Great Families.

The origins of this navy were thus clear.

It was indeed the navy that Dragon City County had been preparing for many days, investing over a million Spirit Coins to build!

As if confirming Lin Yonghua’s guess, on the lead warship stood a figure clad in Silver Battle Armor, riding a pure white horse, slowly making his way to the ship’s bow.

He was a young man with a cold gaze and handsome features.

At this moment, he held his head high, full of boldness, exuding an aura of official might.

Who else could it be but Su Youlin!

"Dragon City County... Dragon City County’s soldiers are here!"

Considering Su Youlin’s terrifying method of forcibly altering the consciousness of the Four Great Families and the Six Great Sects’ leaders in Dragon City, Lin Yonghua’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Upon hearing Lin Yonghua’s words, the onlookers also showed a bit of gravity in their expressions.

They had learned earlier about the extraordinary nature of the new County Magistrate of Dragon City County from their informants.

Frankly, none of the pirates feared the Dragon City County soldiers or the Phoenix Soaring Pirate Gang, but the fear lied in these two forces combining!

Like everyone else, Su Yuan was gazing up at the figure of the County Magistrate Su, laughing secretly:

"This girl Qi Hanyan, what a display of authority—it’s even grander than when I was an official."

"Hehe, I wonder if she’s been a good sun for Dragon City County."

Su Yuan was naturally aware of the arrival of Dragon City County’s navy, as Chen Nuoyi and Qi Hanyan’s entry times and sequences were all orchestrated by him.

First, through brilliant command tactics, eliminate two or three Golden Core cultivators from the Blood God Sect; once their strength weakens and morale is unstable, allow Dragon City County soldiers and the Phoenix Soaring Pirate Gang to merge.

Then, deal a surprise blow to the Blood God Sect, crushing their sea forces in one stroke—this was the whole script.

Su Yuan reviewed the sequence of events in his mind and, upon confirming that everything proceeded according to his plan, nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, Captain Jin nervously spoke:

"Su the Saint, the soldiers are here, what should we do?"

Su Yuan shrugged, nonchalant:

"Whatever you wish, didn’t I tell you before that you’d display yourselves?"

"But don’t blame me for not warning you—if under the loss of two Golden Core cultivators you yield no results, the blame is all yours."

"And my master’s wrath will fall on you!"
