Open up and break into another world

Besides shock, Chiwen felt mostly fear.

“Even Ao Wanya, who had comprehended the Origin of Metal, was blasted into nothingness by a single cannon shot; so, if that cannon shot were to hit me…”

Chiwen shuddered at the mere thought.

“Xu… Brother Xu Ming!” Chiwen completely regarded Xu Ming as an existence on the same level, even changing his form of address, “Is your warship a Dao artifact?”

“Indeed!” Xu Ming was preparing to disguise the Misty Rain Ship as a Dao artifact.

After all, a semi-divine artifact was too shocking!

“Brother Xu Ming, what impressive methods!” Chiwen repeatedly exclaimed, “To be able to refine a Dao artifact-level warship, it seems that Brother Xu Ming’s own strength has reached the Spirit Peak Realm, or even the Half-step Dao Lord Realm?”

Ship-type treasures are the most valuable of all treasures, and also the most difficult to refine.

Even a low-grade Dao artifact-level warship generally requires the strength of the Spirit Peak Realm to refine. The reason Xu Ming was able to refine the Misty Rain Ship was entirely due to the auxiliary formation left by Old Man Bitter; if he really wanted to rely on his own strength to refine the Misty Rain Ship, Xu Ming was still far from it!

“Manor Lord Chiwen, just call me by my name, I can’t bear such a title from you!” Xu Ming said with a smile.

Chiwen shook his head: “On the Endless Continent, everything depends on strength! Your strength is fully worthy of me calling you ‘Brother Xu Ming’!”

In the world of cultivators, age and status have little meaning; the most meaningful thing is strength!

Even if you are only a teenager, as long as your strength is strong enough, those cultivators who are hundreds or thousands of years old will still honestly call you ‘Senior’.”

On the path of martial arts, there is no order of precedence, the accomplished are respected.

“Manor Lord Chiwen, the Lanting Manor and my Wild Desolation Sect have been friends for generations; there’s no need for such formality between you and me, right?” Xu Ming jumped off the warship deck and said with a smile, “Besides, I haven’t properly thanked Manor Lord Chiwen for today’s events!”

Gu Kongshan also sighed beside him: “Yes, Manor Lord Chiwen! If you hadn’t helped today, I’m afraid that before Xu Ming returned, our Wild Desolation Sect would have been tormented beyond recognition! — This kindness is unforgettable!”

Divide up the territory?

Of course, Chiwen was interested in such a good thing!

At the banquet, both sides happily finalized how to attack Wanya Pavilion and how to divide up the territory.

When discussing the attack plan, Xu Ming only said domineeringly: “Our Wild Desolation Sect will only send me! All the experts above the Spirit Peak Realm in their Wanya Pavilion will be handed over to me to solve; as for the others, your Lanting Manor will be responsible for clearing the field.”

“Good!” Chiwen was also happy to do so.

After all, the experts above the Spirit Peak Realm are tough bones to crack! Chiwen, of course, agreed to Xu Ming’s initiative to crack the tough bones.

In terms of dividing up the territory, the two sides had a slight dispute.

“Kongshan, what did you say!?” Chiwen, holding his wine glass, looked at Gu Kongshan in shock, “The territory of this Wanya Pavilion, our Lanting Manor takes 70%, and your Wild Desolation Sect only wants 30%?”

“That’s right!” Gu Kongshan also held his wine glass.

“No way!” Unexpectedly, Chiwen denied it in one breath, “If Xu Ming hadn’t killed Ao Wanya, we wouldn’t have had a share of this Wanya Pavilion’s territory at all. Perhaps, Ao Wanya would have come to invade our Lanting Manor’s territory at some point! — Therefore, 70% of Wanya Pavilion’s territory belongs to you, and we only want 30%!”

“No, no, no!” Gu Kongshan repeatedly said, “Manor Lord Chiwen has been very kind to our Wild Desolation Sect, you take 70%, we take 30%!”

“What kindness, anyway, absolutely not! — I, Chiwen, am a person of principle! If I say 30%, then it’s 30%! I only want 30%!”

“But Manor Lord Chiwen, our Wild Desolation Sect has too few experts, and a large territory is of little use… We can’t manage it!”

“Whether you can manage it or not, that’s your business!” Chiwen was determined, “Anyway, no matter what, I will only take 30%! No more!”

… …

Everyone present looked at this bizarre bargaining with speechlessness — both sides were insisting on taking less and letting the other side take more.

After arguing for a long time, it was finally decided — both sides would divide the territory equally.

“Kongshan, your bargaining skills are really too strong, I argued with you until my mouth was dry — come, drink wine, drink wine!”

“Likewise, you’re not weak either! Drink!”

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

… …

To completely destroy a Profound-grade force is no small matter, and naturally requires a lot of preparation.

Half a month later, Xu Ming, driving the Misty Rain Ship, met with the army of Lanting Manor outside the mountain gate of Wanya Pavilion.

“Manor Lord Chiwen!” Xu Ming stood at the bow of the ship and cupped his hands from afar.

On the deck behind Xu Ming, stood a crowd of onlookers who had come to “watch the ceremony”.

Everyone from the Wild Desolation Sect, the Blood Thunder Gate, and the Eighteen Axes of Black Mountain had come; after all, this was a rare good show to see!

“Xu Ming, it seems that you completely regard this battle as a sightseeing tour!” Chiwen said with a smile.

“Lanting Manor, Wild Desolation Sect! Don’t be too arrogant!” The Deputy Pavilion Lord of Wanya Pavilion, an expert in the Spirit Peak Realm, shouted while hiding in the Guardian Formation, “Want to destroy my Wanya Pavilion? — My Wanya Pavilion will defend to the death and not come out, let’s see what you can do!”

Defend to the death and not come out?

Is it useful?

Chiwen raised an eyebrow: “Xu Ming, it’s up to you!”

The corners of Xu Ming’s mouth curled into an evil smile: “A piece of cake!”

The Clear Obstacle Cannon of the Misty Rain Ship was activated again.

Still only the minimum power attack, after two cannon shots of “Boom”, “Boom”, the Guardian Formation of Wanya Pavilion was directly blasted apart!

Everyone in Wanya Pavilion, from top to bottom, was stunned — the indestructible Guardian Formation! It just exploded like that?

“Kill!!!”

“Kill ah!!”

Overwhelming shouts of killing rang out, and the army of Lanting Manor directly crushed towards Wanya Pavilion.

And Xu Ming also ordered Little Yellow to lock onto those few experts in the Spirit Peak Realm of Wanya Pavilion. As long as a few cannon shots were fired, those experts would be directly blasted into nothingness.

“We surrender!!”

“We surrender, don’t kill!!”

“Friends from the Wild Desolation Sect over there, please don’t fire the cannon!!”

“We surrender!! We all surrender!!”

The experts of Wanya Pavilion were really scared out of their wits by Xu Ming’s cannon, and they all knelt down and begged for surrender; fearing that if they hesitated slightly, another cannon shot would come over.

Even the Guardian Formation was blasted apart by two cannon shots, how could their flesh and blood bodies withstand the power of the cannon?

“Uh… This battle, isn’t it going too smoothly…” Xu Ming, Gu Kongshan, Chiwen and others were all speechless.

Chiwen even said with shame: “Kongshan, how about we renegotiate the distribution of the territory? I haven’t contributed at all, and I’ve taken half of Wanya Pavilion’s territory, I feel bad…”

“No negotiation!” Gu Kongshan’s tone was firm.

… …

In a deep mountain 10,000 miles away, a golden little mouse suddenly widened its funny little eyes and looked “profoundly” in the direction of Wanya Pavilion.
