171 Sky pirates (1/2)
Other than the fact that there were treasures on the mountain, another reason behind so many men trying to get on the flying ice mountain was due to the testimonies that were given out by those men who managed to live even after being kicked out of the mountain by Qingling.
The rumour of a real Goddess existing on the mountain and waiting to choose a worthy partner made the men even more tempted to try and get on the flying ice mountain.
Unfortunately, just like no one managed to climb onto the ice mountain successfully, no one had managed to do do this time either.
Because even though those living in the islands the flying mountain was passing were stronger than the residents of the Xiao Dao Continent, the difference in strength wasn't too huge.
It was only that the peak of the strength was represented by Qi Nobles in these islands in comparison to the Qi Childs back in the Xiao Dao Continent.
Therefore, how could those handful of men that managed to get on the mountain after the ship was destroyed face against the near hundred Qi Child Futanaris?
Not to forget about the one Qi Monarch Futanari who was present there to help out in case of something unexpected happening.
Like this, the flying ice mountain and those on it continued their journey for the next four months while destroying every single flying ship and the hopes of the men on it.
This was when that Qingling informed Bai Long that they were getting close to the Mainland and that they would encounter stronger enemies.
Still, they wouldn't be so strong to pose any trouble to Qingling who was a Half-step Sage Realm Cultivator.
Not too long after Qingling informed Bai Long of this, he saw the biggest ever flying ship since the first one he saw until now.
It was almost as big as a third of the ice mountain with huge cannons mounted all around it.
It wasn't just any flying ship, it was a flying warship.
”Is this the trouble you talked about?”
Nodding her head without the slightest fear or nervousness, Qingling said, ”The closer we get to the Mainland. The stronger those cultivators we encounter are.”
”Though I don't know what those idiots who died until now wanted from trying to get on the mountain, I do know what those on that ship want.”
”They're pirates who want to rob us.”
”Pirates?”
”Yup. Well, sky pirates to be exact. But, yes. They're pirates.”
Nodding his head in acknowledgement, Bai Long asked, ”How strong are they?”
”One Qi Monarch, seventy Qi Nobles, and six hundred or so Qi Childs.”
”Oh. So they're weaker than the Futanaris.”
Having gotten used to that word, Qingling shook her head and said, ”It might look that way, but their Qi Monarch is closer to the later stages while Yang Xia is closer to the early stages. That's why once Yang Xia is defeated, that Qi Monarch will help her subordinates in winning the fight.”
”Well then, it is a good thing that we have you.”
”Me? I'm not going to go and fight against someone that weak. This would be a good opportunity for you to do something other than just lazing around.”
