Chapter 588: Chapter 131: The Two Parties Meet

Far away, on the Blue Shark Battleship tens of miles away, the Thomas Brothers both cried out in shock, their hearts leaping to their throats.

The shattering of the light barrier signified Matthews’ defeat in this gamble, and although Long Xuhu had earlier agreed to the duel, they did not trust Long Xuhu’s word.

In their eyes, all the bats of the Technology Mysterious City were demons who would devour people without spitting out their bones; they could carry out any filthy act.

“Damn it, big brother!”

“Those damn Blood Clan!”

The brothers’ eyes were red with fury, regretting it wasn’t themselves in that Mecha.

Sure enough, they still thought Long Xuhu was a lapdog for the Blood Clan.

…

“Sorry, buddy!” Long Xuhu, looking at the Sky Wolf Saint Armor so close at hand, swung his hammer without hesitation.

“Boom!”

Sparks flew, and the powerful Wind and Thunder Hammer, with a hint of green light, managed to grind off the Tao Trace on the Sky Wolf Saint Armor with just one strike, caving in its chest.

Strands of blue sparks shot out from the Mecha, flickering and fading, which was quite a sight.

Matthews had no time to resist; he only felt a pain in his chest as a strange heat flowed into his heart and lungs, and then he lost consciousness completely.

Long Xuhu laughed, grabbing the Sky Wolf Saint Armor and turning into a streak of light as he returned to the Pyramid.

At the highest layer of the Pyramid Battleship.

Li Qingming was looking at Matthews, clad in a combat suit, still unconscious. As for the Sky Wolf Saint Armor, the moment he lost consciousness, it had already transformed into a golden Zuozi and slipped onto his wrist.

Li Qingming suddenly pulled off his hat, revealing his true appearance.

This was a face with golden hair and blue eyes, rough in features, with a sturdy body and abundant body hair, characteristic of them.

Li Qingming turned his head to look at Prince Sangla and said, “Take a look, do you recognize him?”

Sangla moved listlessly over, glanced at Matthews on the ground, and said casually, “Oh! His name is Matthews, he’s the current Sky Wolf King Jack’s… what, Matthews!!!”

Towards the end, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed in shock.

“Matthews?” Li Qingming plucked the Zuozi from his arm and asked, “Is he that famous?”

Suddenly youthful, Sangla said, “According to our Blood Clan’s internal intelligence, this Matthews is one of the few remaining members of the Sky Wolf Clan. There are three brothers in total; they are the right-hand men of the current Clan Leader Jack of the Sky Wolf Clan, and almost every attack on our Blood Clan was strategized by him!”

“Oh? So he’s an important figure!” Interested, Li Qingming injected a stream of Yuqing True Essence into Matthews’ body.

“Cough cough…”

After a moment, the unconscious Matthews came to, coughed lightly twice, and shook his head groggily. When he saw Sangla’s handsome face, he sobered up almost instantly.

Long Xuhu grinned and leaned in, saying, “Hey, buddy! You awake?”

“It’s you!” Matthews struggled to stand up, looking pale as he faced Long Xuhu and said, “You really are a lapdog of the vampires!”

Long Xuhu touched his nose helplessly and said, “Me, a lapdog to the vampires? I’m not at the point of taking orders from these Little Bats!”

“Cough!” Li Qingming shook his head slightly and coughed lightly, saying, “Alright, Matthews! Enough with the nonsense. This battleship now belongs to me, and I have nothing to do with those vampires, not even half a Spiritual Treasure’s connection! I need to understand some things now, and I hope you can answer me truthfully!”

Thomas was now completely puzzled, wondering what all this talk about ‘yours’ and ‘mine’ was; what on earth was going on.

…

Far away, inside the Blue Shark Battleship.

“The accursed Blood Clan, I have to save big brother!”

The Thomas Brothers’ eyes were both red, and if Jack wasn’t holding them back, they might have already rushed out of the battleship.

“Slap! Slap!” Two crisp slaps echoed as Jack, disappointed in their impetuousness, slapped each brother on the face.

“Can you save Matthews by doing this? You’d only add to the casualties!” Pointing at the two, Jack continued, “Have you forgotten what Matthews told you before? If you’re willing to break the family lineage, then get the hell off the Sky Wolf right now!”

Lawrence and Thomas touched their cheeks dumbly, and after a long moment, one said, “So are we not saving big brother?”

Jack rubbed his temple, his face grim as he said, “Sky Wolf, help me establish a video call with the other battleship!”

“Master, please wait!” An icy mechanical voice responded.

Inside the Pyramid Battleship, chatterbox Long Xuhu had just finished recounting the events that had occurred in the Pyramid to the newly awakened Matthews.

At this moment, an electronic alert abruptly sounded.

“Ding Ding Ding… Ding Ding Ding…”

“What’s going on?” Li Qingming glanced around and fixed his gaze on a small red light at the edge of the table on the right.

Prince Sangla walked to the edge of the table and looked at the blinking red light, saying, “The flagship of the other party wants to initiate a video call with us!”

Li Qingming looked at Matthews, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said, “Accept the call!”

Prince Sangla nodded slightly and gently pressed the small red button.

“Shua!”

A bright silver screen, nearly three meters long and over two meters high, shot out from the metallic table, projecting into the mid-air.

A blond, blue-eyed young man with thick eyebrows and a broad nose appeared on the screen.

“Jack?” Prince Sangla said with a face full of malice upon seeing this face.

“Boss!” Matthews immediately beamed with joy.

“Sangla, we’re old acquaintances, aren’t we?” Jack on the screen lightly raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s been ten Primordial Meetings since we last parted, how time flies!”

“Thanks to you, I was fortunate to have escaped death and not been killed by space pirates in pursuit.” Prince Sangla replied icily, with a pair of cold green eyes shooting frosty glints.

Jack’s brow furrowed slightly and went straight to the point, “All right, I’m sure you know why I’m here. What exactly do you want in exchange for releasing Matthews?”

Prince Sangla stepped forward, coming to face the screen, and scoffed, “Haha, release Matthews? So many of my Blood Clan have died at the hands of the Sky Wolf Clan, and you think by offering a small price you can make me release him? You’re dreaming!”

Jack’s expression became fiercely angry in an instant, and he stood up briskly, saying, “I warn you, Sangla! If anything happens to Matthews, I’ll pursue you to the ends of the earth to kill you!”

Seeing Jack’s anger, Prince Sangla appeared to enjoy the situation and laughed triumphantly, “Hahaha, am I supposed to be afraid of you? Don’t you know that with your current strength, you simply can’t beat me? Even if I stood right in front of you, you wouldn’t necessarily be able to kill me!”

“Oh? Are you so confident that even if Jack stood in front of you, he wouldn’t be able to kill you?” Suddenly a somewhat teasing, clear voice rang out from behind.

At this moment, Prince Sangla, having become so cocky he’d lost all sense of direction, blurted out without thinking, “Yes!”

“Well then, I’ll fulfill that wish of yours!” Li Qingming walked forward with a smile on his face and suddenly kicked Jack to the side.

“Ow!”

The pain in his backside finally brought the confused Prince Sangla back to reality. Remembering what he had just said, he shivered all over, turning pale.

After straightening his robes, Li Qingming looked at Jack on the screen and said, “Hello, Captain Jack! My name is Li Qingming, you can call me Fellow Daoist Li. This battleship is now under my control, and Sangla… is merely my prisoner. I think we have some matters that could be thoroughly discussed!”

“You? You took over a Holy-level Battleship from the Blood Clan?” Jack looked at Li Qingming, dressed in a Daoist robe, completely disbelieving.

“It’s true, Boss!” Matthews stepped to Li Qingming’s side, saying, “They’ve truly captured the despicable Blood Clan. Perhaps, this gentleman can help us defeat them and return to the Technology Mysterious City!”

“Really!” He might doubt the words of others, but he had absolute trust in Matthews.

Pacing back and forth in the control room, Jack turned to look at the screen and said, “Li… Fellow Daoist Li, may I come to your battleship to discuss the details?”

“Boss, you can’t go!”

“Boss Jack, if anyone’s going, it should be us!”

Lawrence and the Thomas brothers were dumbfounded and anxiously stepped forward to dissuade him.

“Haha, no need to fight over it. I will personally come over and return Matthews to you!” Li Qingming started laughing heartily and, suddenly grabbing Matthews by the shoulder, vanished in a flash.

The next time they appeared, they were already in the control room of the Sky Wolf.

Feeling the sudden appearance of two shadows behind them, Lawrence and Matthews’ faces changed immediately, hurrying to shield Jack behind them, their eyes filled with wariness as they scanned the area.

When they saw Li Qingming, and Matthews in his grasp, their mouths gaped in utter astonishment.

“Big big big… Brother! How how… how did you guys get in?” Lawrence, calming himself, asked nervously.

If this ability to appear and disappear was used in combat, who could withstand it?

Everyone in the control room was shocked by Li Qingming’s mystifying power. At the same time, their hearts were filled with new hope.

Li Qingming flashed a bright smile and said, “I’ve come to discuss matters, not to explain trivial issues!”

Jack pushed the Thomas brothers aside and performed a formal greeting reserved for honored guests to Li Qingming, saying, “Honorable guest, Jack Saint Francis, the current Clan Leader of the Sky Wolf Clan, welcomes you!”

Li Qingming also performed a respectful bow in return and said, “You flatter me, Clan Leader Jack!”

The greetings exchanged between the two, one purely Western and the other a common greeting among Daoists, seemed odd. But they strangely came together, which just goes to show how wonderful this world is. (To be continued.
