The Pride of Alamaria
Nearly half an hour passed after Captain Gong's sharp maneuver, and the Alamaria Spirit Ship continued moving north without suffering another interruption.The larger Eastern Mansion vessel remained behind them, its distant outline appearing smaller whenever the sailors examined the dark western sky.The crew gradually resumed ordinary tasks, encouraged by the growing separation and the absence of attacks from their pursuer.Captain Gong continued supervising the helm, aware that a successful maneuver could be undone by complacency during the remaining journey.The men serving beneath him were less cautious, particularly after repeated observations confirmed that the pursuing vessel had not regained its earlier position.A sailor securing a rope grinned toward his companion and said, "Our captain made that large ship look helpless with a single turn."His com
The Captain's Desperate Turn
Ning Ju recognized the Eastern Mansion banner above the approaching Spirit Ship, and the blood gradually drained from her face.The larger vessel was advancing from the western sky, its course bringing it steadily closer to the Alamaria Spirit Ship heading north.Although considerable distance still separated them, Ning Ju understood that the approaching ship carried someone far more dangerous than its visible armaments suggested.Cold sweat gathered at her temples as she remembered Guo Jiang's overwhelming Banxiang cultivation and their final conversation inside Eastern Mansion.He had allowed her to leave because of their shared past, but that mercy had never amounted to permission for further attacks against eastern Logun.Ning Ju gripped the railing and thought, "If he has followed us from Jinhung, then he has already decided this matter cannot be ignored."
The Banner from the West
By the third night watch, the Almaria Chamber of Commerce had begun preparing its personnel to leave Shiwei City.The compound remained orderly despite the urgency, with guards and attendants following established instructions rather than spreading rumors about the reason for departure.Ning Ju had finished preparing her belongings, although she still did not know whether Sakimoto would accept the evacuation himself.The decision to move north had already shaped the preparations, because other foreign forces were expected to be operating in that direction.She understood that the withdrawal represented preservation rather than a new offensive, especially after the losses suffered in Jinhung.The Spirit Ship waited above the city, its crew attending to the ordinary preparations required before leaving the coastal trading region.Below, the night watch continue
Chapter 416: The Gap Between Two Realms
Sakimoto stood beside the map of Alamaria and Logun, his question still carrying the confidence of someone accustomed to superior martial status.Ning Ju listened without immediately answering, because she understood that contradicting his pride too quickly might only deepen his resistance.He interpreted her silence as hesitation and continued explaining why he considered evacuation an unnecessary surrender of their position."I have reached Kaishi, Ning Ju, and the authority of a Green Dragon Rider was earned through hardships you understand better than most."His voice remained controlled, although the way his hand tightened against the table betrayed the importance he placed upon recognition."Guo Jiang may have been talented in Yin Continent, but we have advanced far beyond the lives we lived there."Ning Ju watched him carefully, remembering the strengt
The Name from Yin Continent
Sakimoto remained beside the large map, waiting for Ning Ju to identify the person responsible for the deaths of ten foreign operatives.The silence between them grew uncomfortable because he recognized her reluctance, although he could not yet determine its cause."Was this person someone we knew in Yin Continent, or are you referring to an acquaintance from another period of your life?"Ning Ju glanced toward the map before answering, her expression revealing little of the turmoil beneath her controlled appearance."The answer matters less than the danger, Sakimoto, and I have already advised you to prepare an evacuation."His pale face tightened, and he placed one hand against the table as though restraining the anger rising through him."You cannot return after losing ten operatives, demand that everyone withdraw, and refuse to identify the enemy responsi
A Report from Jinhung
Night had settled over Shiwei City when Ning Ju returned to the eastern coast of Logun Continent, carrying news she would rather have avoided delivering.The trading city remained active near its harbor, although the merchants who filled its streets during daylight had mostly withdrawn into their residences.A night watchman walked along the main thoroughfare, striking his small gong before reminding households to secure their doors and extinguish unattended cooking fires."Keep your homes properly guarded tonight, and do not leave your hearth burning while the family sleeps," he called to the nearby houses.Several residents acknowledged his warning from their doorways, while others continued arranging the last goods delivered before the market closed.Ning Ju passed them without attracting attention, keeping her movement ordinary despite the cultivation that allowed her to cros
