Lynn Luyao thought that Wei Chen had agreed, so she stood up excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Wei Chen smiled wryly, realizing that he seemed to have gotten himself into "big trouble" again.
"Young Mistress, are you planning to go to the Philippine Sea?" Lynn Luyao asked with a bright smile.
Wei Chen nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Can you take me with you?" Lynn Luyao inquired.
"Of course. I can't just leave you here on South Sea Island. When I'm not around, who knows what those Sea Tribe members might do to you?"
Hearing Wei Chen's words, Lynn Luyao's eyes shone even brighter as she secretly thought, "Has Young Mistress started to care about me?"
...
The next day, the Warship set sail for the Philippine Sea.
On the Warship were Wei Chen, Demon Lotus Emperor, Lynn Luyao, and several others, including Sea Emperor Nanfeng and his dozen elite subordinates, who also benefited from being aboard Wei Chen's Warship.
Within the Sea Tribe, aside from a few Warships seized from the human race, there were no other Warships in existence. The Sea Tribe's skills were insufficient to maintain the operation of a Warship; those seized vessels had become mere relics.
The Warship brought by Wei Chen could only be considered medium-sized within the Black Magic Clan, but in the eyes of the Sea Tribe, it was a Giant Warship.
The people of the Sea Tribe could never build a Warship on their own.
That was their weakness, an unrelenting disadvantage.
Compared to the Black Magic Clan, the Sea Tribe could not gain any advantage in any aspect. It was well known that the shipbuilding techniques of the Black Magic Clan were the best in the entire Demon Realm.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng stood on the deck of the Warship, gazing out at the vast expanse of the sea, his mind drifting.
He had never imagined that one day he would stand alongside the Young Mistress of the Black Magic Clan, with both parties sharing common interests, allowing him to openly board a Warship of the Black Magic Clan.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt elated and said with a smile, “Wei Chenyu, do you know? I have always had a wish—to sit on your Black Magic Clan's Warship, to sit there openly. I never expected that today, my wish has come true.”
“Is your wish really that simple?” Wei Chen chuckled.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied, “The Sea Tribe of the South Sea Region and your Black Magic Clan are supposed to be opposing forces. How easy is it to board your Warship? Although I do not wish to be at odds with your Black Magic Clan, the reality is that this opposition has existed for a very long time and cannot be changed.”
Wei Chen nodded; he understood Sea Emperor Nanfeng's thoughts. The Black Magic Clan and the Sea Tribe of the South Sea Region should not be adversaries. Both sides could coexist peacefully. As for the plundering of resources every eleven years, the Black Magic Clan could easily turn a blind eye. The Sea Tribe needed to expend excess combat power, while the Black Magic Clan also needed to utilize their own forces; this was an important factor in maintaining the dominance of the Black Magic Clan.
Aside from that, there were no grievances between the Black Magic Clan and the Sea Tribe.
On the Warship of the Black Magic Clan, Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt refreshed. He wished that standing beside him was a Dark Mage so they could negotiate matters of mutual friendship between their two clans without suspicion.
The Black Magic Clan had amassed heavy troops by the sea, which weakened their combat power and forced them to keep an eye on the movements of the Sea Tribe. For the Sea Tribe, it was no different; they had also gathered heavy troops near the coastline close to human territories to guard against surprise attacks from humans.
As a result, both the overall strength of the Black Magic Clan and Sea Emperor Nanfeng's forces were somewhat diminished. Otherwise, he would have already mobilized his troops to besiege the Philippine Sea.
In comparison, for Sea Emperor Nanfeng, his greatest threat was only Philippe King. Other than that, whether it was other Sea Tribes or even the Black Magic Clan itself, they posed no real threat. Philippe King was like a thorn in Sea Emperor Nanfeng's heart—impossible to remove and extremely uncomfortable.
This time, Sea Emperor Nanfeng felt that the opportunity was excellent. Perhaps, with the help of Wei Chen, he could finally remove that thorn?
Once Philippe King was dealt with, Sea Emperor Nanfeng would be free to unleash his ambitions.
His aspirations were not limited to the South Sea Region! The other four major sea areas—Xisha Sea Area, Arctic Sea Region, and East Sand Sea—were all significantly weaker than the South Sea Region. Sea Emperor Nanfeng had long coveted those three sea areas.
His most important mission was not to deal with the human race but to confront those three sea areas. Only after achieving unification would Sea Emperor Nanfeng's ambitions be truly fulfilled.
To tackle those three sea areas, the immediate priority was to eliminate Philippe King.
"To repel external threats, one must first secure internal stability" had always been Sea Emperor Nanfeng's creed.
"Wei Chenyu, I heard that within your Black Magic Clan, there is a warship known as Shenzhou, the finest in the Demon Realm. It spans three miles and possesses formidable combat and defensive capabilities. When its attack formations are fully activated, even a powerhouse at the Thirty-Six Levels, someone of my strength, could be killed. If its defensive formations are fully engaged, someone like me could unleash a full assault for half an hour without inflicting any damage on Shenzhou."
"That massive warship is a symbol of your Black Magic Clan's shipbuilding prowess! Does that warship truly exist?" Sea Emperor Nanfeng inquired of Wei Chen.
Wei Chen nodded and replied, "Of course it exists. Is that something one can fabricate? Shenzhou is our Black Magic Clan's most powerful warship; calling it a moving city would not be an exaggeration."
"Sigh, how can our Sea Tribe compare to your human race? We in the Sea Tribe can't even produce ordinary warships. We can only flaunt our power within the Endless Sea; if we were to provoke a colossal entity like your Black Magic Clan on your mainland, we would be utterly annihilated," Sea Emperor Nanfeng marveled.
Wei Chen chuckled and said, "Indeed. I've seen my grandfather order all warships to mobilize; within a day, we could gather twenty million troops. Our Black Magic Clan's warships are unrivaled in the Demon Realm; even in the Nine Immortal Realm, no major forces possess as many warships as we do. Our warships are fundamental to our survival; once our massive fleet is set in motion, the entire Demon Realm trembles."
Wei Chen boasted unabashedly about his Black Magic Clan's strength, but it wasn't mere boasting; his words were grounded in reality. The power of Black Magic Clan's warships was widely recognized across the continent. Even the distant Sea Tribe knew how formidable their warships were. There was no need for exaggeration; they were already number one by virtue of their existence.
"That's why I don't want to create any major conflicts with your Black Magic Clan," Sea Emperor Nanfeng sighed. "If I anger your grandfather, it won't end well for me. My ambition is simply to unify the entire Endless Sea."
"Unify the Endless Sea?" Wei Chen looked at Sea Emperor Nanfeng in astonishment. "Your ambition is no small matter!"
"It must be grand. Those who have ambition can achieve great things. As long as we eliminate that tumor, Philippe King, our South Sea Sea Tribe Army can quickly move to attack the East Sand Sea and Xisha Sea Area," Sea Emperor Nanfeng said with a calm smile.
Wei Chen asked in surprise, "Attack both the East Sand Sea and Xisha Sea Area together? Sea Emperor, are you serious?"
Is the South Sea Sea Clan really that powerful? Wei Chen was amazed.
"Of course! Our South Sea Sea Clan is strong and well-equipped. Once we resolve our internal instability, taking down Dongsha and Xisha will be a piece of cake," Sea Emperor Nanfeng confidently declared.
"Are the East Sand Sea and Xisha Sea Area really that weak?" Wei Chen inquired.
"Not weak; it's just that our South Sea Region is too strong," Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied.
Wei Chen pouted, speechless. It was rare to encounter someone so confident. No matter how weak the Sea Tribe of Dongsha and Xisha might be, splitting forces to attack them would still be asking for trouble!
"Wei Chenyu, our South Sea Sea Clan is undoubtedly the strongest among the Four Great Sea Clans. Even just my own Sea Tribe can easily suppress them. If we also take control of the Philippine Sea, there will be no doubt—I could easily defeat them and rule over the Endless Sea," Sea Emperor Nanfeng asserted with confidence.
Seeing the self-assured expression on Sea Emperor Nanfeng's face, Wei Chen felt he couldn't afford to be careless. He could tell that this confidence was not unfounded; one wouldn't dare to be so confident without some real capability backing it up.
In fact, Wei Chen also knew that the South Sea Region was indeed stronger than the East Sand Sea, Xisha Sea Area, and Arctic Sea Region. However, with the presence of the Philippine Sea, Sea Emperor Nanfeng couldn't fully unleash his power and dared not venture far. If he dispatched his Army to attack those waters, internal stability would quickly falter, leading to problems.
To deploy troops, the first thing that needed to be done was to eliminate Philippe King, a thorn in Sea Emperor Nanfeng's side for a long time.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng was pleased, likely because Wei Chen could help him deal with Philippe King. Otherwise, simply boarding the Black Magic Clan's Warship wouldn't warrant such joy.
Wei Chen said calmly, "Sea Emperor, you want me to help you deal with Philippe King, right?"
"To be honest, that's exactly my thought. If you help me deal with Philippe King and take control of the entire Philippine Sea, I can then freely confront the rest of the Sea Tribe," Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied seriously, looking at Wei Chen with an earnest expression.
Wei Chen pursed his lips and said, "You think too simply. For both emotional and rational reasons, I shouldn't allow your South Sea Sea Clan to grow stronger. That wouldn't be good for us humans on the Demon Domain continent. By that logic, I shouldn't help you against Philippe King. His existence is a key factor in maintaining the status quo of the Sea Tribe; as long as he exists, you won't have the energy to deal with humanity."
Wei Chen's reasoning was straightforward: it was a matter of balance. He shouldn't assist a potential enemy; doing so might backfire. It was a rather self-serving thought, and he wasn't afraid of offending Sea Emperor Nanfeng; he spoke candidly in front of him.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng shook his head slightly and said, "Wei Chenyu, a stable and unified Endless Sea would be very beneficial for your human race. Once the Sea Tribe is unified internally, there will no longer be any invasions of the mainland. When we lack food in the future, we can trade with you. Many seafood products that your people enjoy cannot be caught by your own efforts but are abundant among us in the Sea Tribe. We can exchange goods without needing war."
"Without a unified Endless Sea, that could still happen," Wei Chen replied lightly.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng shook his head again and said, "You are thinking too simplistically. Without a unified Sea Tribe, our relationship with humanity can only be one of plunder; we cannot establish contracts for mutual exchange."
