Whether made of wood or stone, it was all destroyed by the sharp teeth and claws of the demon birds, and their speed was quite terrifying, leaving the surface of the Dragon Ship quickly unrecognizable.

Crackle!

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the deck of the Dragon Ship with a loud boom.

A loud noise!

The entire Dragon Ship shook violently, sank slightly, and the deck cracked, with the impact site caving in, creating a large hole that led directly to the bottom of the ship.

This made the cultivators battling the demon birds turn pale, thinking to themselves that things were not going well.

In the large hole, a flash of silver light, a person was pierced through, and the Silver Falcon Demon King flew out, speaking coldly, "Kill them all, no one escapes."

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Amidst the sound of tearing through the air, more demon birds slammed into the deck. With a series of loud bangs, the Dragon Ship shook violently, forming crater-like holes.

Amidst the creaking sound, the flying function of the Dragon Ship was affected, and it plummeted towards the ground with a buzz.

Not far away, the Sixth Prince and his people, who were trying to find a way to rendezvous, had their pupils constrict, watching helplessly as the reinforcements they hoped for fell from the sky.

In just a moment, the Dragon Ship became riddled with holes, and the damaged ship was filled with various flying creatures, making it obvious that the array could no longer provide any protection.

Rushing over at this point would not only lack protection but also face a massive attack from the demon birds.

The worst part was that the Dragon Ship was about to crash.

Bang!

With an earth-shattering collision, the Dragon Ship smashed into the ground, the sound shaking the heavens and the earth, and the ground trembled. Under the intense crash, the earth overturned, and a huge pit was created at the center.

The riddled Dragon Ship shattered into pieces, completely destroyed.

"What are these useless people doing!"

The Sixth Prince's face was extremely grim as he watched, for this was his property.

The cost of this thing was exorbitant, far exceeding a normal magical treasure, and was not something obtainable through normal channels; it was a strategic asset in the entire Sun and Moon Dynasty.

Even as a prince, he only obtained one, and it was only due to the task of suppressing the Eight States that he had the opportunity to own it.

Now that such a precious treasure had crashed before his eyes, how could he not be heartbroken?

Not to mention the Dragon Ship itself, just the various resources he had collected and accumulated over the years, most of which were on the ship.

With this crash, these treasures were likely lost forever.

"Damn it, Huangfu Tributor, we have to rush over to recover the treasures from the treasury, or else we'll suffer immense losses!"

He gritted his teeth, really unwilling to leave the ship's treasures behind.

"I would like to go, but look at the fellows nearby, we are already struggling to deal with them, let alone the many birds over there."

Huangfu Jin said coldly, "With the green hills still here, there's no fear of running out of firewood. Now that we are out of support, we should not linger over the wealth but make a quick escape, forget about the others!"

"At least recover some, most of my fortune is in there. I have looted so much from the Eight States, if it's left here, it's like giving away things to these beasts, cultivating our enemies."

The Sixth Prince glanced at the others, "I ask for your help, Tributor. If half the items can be retrieved, they will be yours, and what's in there is worth ten million!"

Huangfu Jin gasped, "You looted so much?"

"Looting a bit from each state, accumulated to this much. Even though most are ordinary resources, the top treasures would still be useful to a senior,"

the Sixth Prince said, trying to tempt Huangfu Jin.

The latter's eyes showed a wavering intent, evidently tempted.

He glanced at the broken Dragon Ship, estimated the distance and his own mana, and said, "Only we few experts can go, the others can't be helped, and we don't have much time, once we get the items, we must leave immediately, or we won't be able to leave later."

Huangfu Jin said gravely, with his task being solely to protect this Sixth Prince, everything else was secondary.

If he could return to the intact Dragon Ship with people, he could sit there and ensure a smooth escape.

With a little distance left, the Dragon Ship was unexpectedly destroyed, so he had to abandon the others and take just the Sixth Prince to break through directly.

With only a few experts, they'd be more agile and could attempt to return to retrieve some items, minimizing losses.

The Sixth Prince looked at his many subordinates and sighed, "It can only be this way."

Too many demon beasts made the situation unfavorable for them, and now he could no longer care for his subordinates but prioritize self-preservation first.

Doing so, his losses included not only the Dragon Ship and resources but also his subordinates.

"Chief Steward Shen, come with us, don't let these beasts entangle you!"

His family's chief steward, whose cultivation was second only to Huangfu Jin, and the three of them made a plan and dashed out, ignoring the others.

To them, anyone below the Golden Core Level was a burden.

Huangfu Jin led the charge, like a sharp sword, piercing through the enclosing demon beasts rapidly approaching the broken Dragon Ship.

In the shattered Dragon Ship, the fall left cultivators below the Golden Core dizzy and thoroughly chaotic.

The array core was completely shattered, and Gong Zhaoming, who controlled the array, screamed, "It's over, the Dragon Ship is destroyed!"

In front of him appeared demon birds, attacking him frantically.

The ship's hull was completely shattered, the entire array collapsed, and even the core position could no longer resist the demon birds.

"They're still coming over, seemingly unwilling to part with their treasury."

Shen Wang, having flown up to avoid the impact during the fall, continued to observe the Sixth Prince's movements, seeing that they were charging over under Huangfu Jin's lead.

If they made it over, even though the Dragon Ship was broken, it would be enough for them to find out that the treasures in the treasury were gone.

"Nascent Soul cultivators are indeed powerful; so many demon beasts can't stop them."

Shen Wang sighed, realizing that without a Demon Emperor appearing, ordinary demon birds couldn't stop Huangfu Jin, unless several Golden Core Levels came forward to intercept.

But among human cultivators, there were also many Golden Core Levels, enough to restrain some Demon Kings.

"Thankfully, the hull's broken now, and the situation's urgent, and the Sixth Prince has no time to find out the reason."

Shen Wang hid in a room. Though his courtyard was also broken, he adjusted the array, preserving the area relatively well.

"Time to leave."

He felt it was almost time, controlled the Flowing Light Mark to open the Gate of Space, and remembered something before stepping in, "Saying you should act like a fox using the tiger's might wasn't just talk. Now, try scaring Huangfu Jin and the others, so they don't dare to come over."

"Ah, I knew you wouldn't let this go,"

You Huang said helplessly, then adjusted her tone, pretending to be normal, "Heh heh heh, this broken ship has fallen on my demon race's territory, meaning it belongs to us demons. Are you still hoping to take it back?"

Her voice reached Huangfu Jin's ears, changing his expression drastically as he hurriedly stopped.

"You Huang, you're actually here!"

His thoughts swept quickly across, finding no traces of You Huang, but noticed obvious space fluctuations at the broken Dragon Ship.

Damn it, could it be You Huang has just come out of the cave mansion's trial and coincidentally was thrown here?

These words made the Sixth Prince behind him turn pale, his heart sinking to the bottom of the sea.

There was surprisingly a Demon Emperor over there; if they continued to charge, they might not be able to leave.

"Why can't I be here? This is my demon race's place, it's you human cultivators who shouldn't be here."

You Huang mocked, "You humans, all of you deserve to die!"

These words carried significant killing intent, and indeed, You Huang, having been enslaved, had how could she not have had resentment?

"Hum!"

Huangfu Jin grabbed the Sixth Prince with one hand and immediately retreated to the side.

The Sixth Prince hung his head dispiritedly, knowing he couldn't go over, and that his Dragon Ship and various resources were all lost.

In the cave mansion, Shen Wang saw that Huangfu Jin and the others were not coming over anymore and sighed in relief.

"I will make sure you all pay for this someday!"

He sighed in his heart, truly harboring deep hatred for those beasts.

If it weren't for those insanely attacking demon beasts, how could this have happened?

Inside the broken Dragon Ship, Shen Wang saw that Huangfu Jin and the others were no longer coming over, so he decided to act, controlling the Flowing Light Seal to activate the Gates of Space, and just before stepping in, he thought of something and said, "Told you to play the fox posing as a tiger, but haven't done it yet, go on, say something to scare Huangfu Jin and the others, so they don't dare to come over."

"Why aren't you saying anything now, frighten them a little, so they'll leave and won't come back. Our time is limited."

The Silver Falcon Demon King exclaimed, "It's too late, the Dragon Ship is doomed!"

At this moment, the entire ship collapsed and fell apart, leaving Golden Core and below cultivators dizzy and in complete chaos.
