Chapter 1266 Corset
Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266 Corset
To the crowd’s astonishment, the kneeling man appeared far more afraid of Ross than they were. The people exchanged shocked looks.
A vessel like boat capable of flying through the sky was already unbelievable enough. Yet its owner had knelt before Ross the moment he arrived.
Just how was Ross Oakley able to do all this? How many secrets does he have? The question appeared in countless minds.
Meanwhile, Ross simply looked at the kneeling man with a calm expression.
“You’re late,” Ross said casually. The man’s body shook even harder.
“This servant deserves punishment, Master! There were some unforeseen delays during the journey. Please forgive me!” The surrounding crowd nearly fainted.
The powerful figure before them looked as if he would rather face an army of monsters than disappoint Ross. Ross merely waved his hand.
“Forget it. Since you’re here now, it doesn’t matter.” The kneeling man instantly revealed an expression of relief, as though he had just escaped a death sentence.
“Thank you for your mercy, Master!” Ross then glanced at the enormous flying boat above them.
“Prepare accommodations. Everyone will be staying on the ship tonight.” The man immediately bowed again.
“As you command, Master!” The moment those words left his mouth, the crowd erupted into chaos.
“What?!”
“We’re sleeping on that thing?”
“That flying boat belongs to Ross?”
“Holy crap!” Excitement spread throughout the camp as thousands of people stared at the vessel hanging in the sky like a floating boat palace.
“What’s your name?” Ross asked as he looked down at the kneeling man.
The man’s forehead was pressed firmly against the ground. Even after hearing Ross’s question, he did not dare to raise his head.
“Please, Master, just call your servant Servant Lin,” the kneeling man replied respectfully.
His voice was steady, but his body betrayed his nervousness. His hands were trembling slightly, and beads of cold sweat had already formed on his forehead.
Although Servant Lin was a powerful cultivator by ordinary standards, he felt no sense of superiority in front of Ross Oakley. In fact, he was terrified. The reason was simple.
He knew what had happened to the previous servant assigned to Ross. Daoist Plague Swarm. That name alone was enough to make countless cultivators shudder in fear.
The old monster had ruled over entire regions through terror and overwhelming strength.
He commanded billions of poisonous insects and possessed cultivation that few could rival. Even many sect masters would think twice before provoking him.
Yet such an expert had died. And he had died today. The details were unclear, but the result was undeniable. Daoist Plague Swarm was gone. Dead.
Vanished from this world forever.
When Bone Emperor Cyrus Thorn informed him that he would be replacing Daoist Plague Swarm as Ross’s servant, Servant Lin had nearly fainted on the spot.
He still remembered that meeting vividly. The mighty Bone Emperor had sat upon his throne of white bones, his expression unusually serious.
“Lin Tianyu.”
“Your subordinate is here, Master.”
“You will be serving a person from today onward.”
At first, Servant Lin had been delighted. Being assigned a special mission by the Bone Emperor was usually a great honor.
However, his excitement disappeared the moment he learned who that person was.
“His name is Ross Oakley.” The Bone Emperor’s tone had immediately changed. His eyes became sharp.
“Listen carefully. Everything you say and do in front of him must be respectful.”
“Yes, Master.”
“You will obey every order without question.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“You will never attempt to deceive him.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“You will never offend him.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Bone Emperor then leaned forward slightly.
“If you value your life, do not follow Daoist Plague Swarm’s example.”
Those words had chilled Servant Lin to the bone.
“What happened to Daoist Plague Swarm?”
“Dead. He died in the hands of Ross Oakley.”
“What?!” Servant Lin could not believe his ears.
***
Returning to the present, Servant Lin forced himself to remain calm. Ross, meanwhile, appeared completely relaxed.
He sat comfortably as though speaking to an ordinary servant.
“Servant Lin.”
“Yes, Master!”
“Here’s what I want you to do.”
Ross proceeded to issue a series of instructions. The orders were numerous and detailed. Servant Lin listened attentively. His ears captured every word.
His mind memorized every detail. Not once did he interrupt. Not once did he ask unnecessary questions.
By the time Ross finished speaking, Servant Lin already had a clear plan in mind.
“Can you do it?” Ross asked casually.
“Master, this servant guarantees that everything will be completed perfectly!”
“Good.”
Ross nodded. That simple gesture nearly made Servant Lin sigh in relief. At least he had not disappointed his new master.
“Then go make the arrangements.”
“At once, Master!”
Soon afterward, everyone began boarding the flying boat. Ross’s family was escorted to luxurious rooms. The children ran around excitedly. The adults explored the vessel with curiosity.
Even the guards and attendants could not hide their excitement. Once everyone was safely aboard, Servant Lin activated the vessel. The enormous flying boat trembled.
Ancient formations lit up one after another. A powerful wave of spiritual energy spread throughout the surrounding area.
Boom!
The vessel slowly rose into the sky. The trees below bent under the pressure. Countless beasts fled in terror. Cultivators throughout the Ghost Wood Forest looked up in shock.
More importantly, people and survivors from earth also gasped in awe.
“What a powerful flying ship!”
“Who’s leaving?”
“Such a vessel could belong only to a supreme expert like that old man who led us here!” Many people watched with awe. Standing at the front of the vessel, Ross calmly observed the scenery below.
The people below had lost their chance to follow him. His expression remained indifferent. To him, this was merely another step in his journey. But to countless others, the sight was unforgettable.
As the flying boat continued rising, the entire Ghost Wood Forest became smaller and smaller. Eventually, it looked no larger than a patch of green land.
Then the formations reached full power.
Boom!
The flying boat transformed into a streak of light. The surrounding clouds exploded apart as it accelerated. Within moments, it had crossed thousands of miles.
