Now that the Celestial Travel Sect is besieged, the best way is to unite with external forces for self-rescue.

Yet, he was still curious about what reliance the Celestial Travel Sect had, that they could actually intimidate the Demon Suppression Department into not being overly aggressive.

"The major sects have long resented them, but have been unable to resist due to the lack of a leader. As long as we take action, those oppressed sects are bound to respond."

Yun Lingshu said.

"Young lady, words alone are unreliable. It's more likely to be the early bird getting shot. I suggest you hurriedly return, for that Silver Moon of the Demon Suppression Department is probably after you here."

The Valley Master of Jade Silkworm Valley said with a sigh.

Yun Lingshu's face changed, unable to decide how to respond for a moment.

When Shen Wang wanted to continue eavesdropping, the Valley Master of Jade Silkworm Valley raised a hand and directly isolated the sound.

Worried that the prying power might be discovered if too close, Shen Wang cautiously withdrew.

"This Valley Master is a bit cunning, even soundproofing in his own territory; there's something to be learned from him."

Shen Wang muttered, checked outside, and saw that Silver Moon flew straight to the Dragon Ship, and no one dared to block her way.

Since he wasn't called upon to do anything, Shen Wang was happy to take a rest.

The next day, Shen Wang was startled awake by the loud voice of Chief Steward Shen.

"Hand over the remnants of the Celestial Travel Sect, or the army will immediately surround Jade Silkworm Valley!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang hurried out of the room and found two teams confronting each other at the valley entrance, each exuding powerful auras.

"It really is like the Valley Master said, Silver Moon tracked Yun Lingshu to this place."

While Shen Wang was pondering, the Valley Master of Jade Silkworm Valley came out, followed by Yun Lingshu, who looked upset and a bit strange.

Shen Wang's eyes widened, wondering if they would actually hand her over.

"Chief Steward Shen, don't worry. The person has already been brought to you."

The Valley Master smiled cheerfully, and behind him, Yun Lingshu's eyes were filled with anger and fear, never expecting the people of Jade Silkworm Valley to capture her for the Sixth Prince.

Even some within Jade Silkworm Valley were surprised, as they usually ignored the Sun and Moon Dynasty, following orders without declarations. The Valley Master's actions seemed somewhat sycophantic.

Chief Steward Shen glanced at the Valley Master and laughed, "Valley Master Sun truly is sincere, His Highness will surely be pleased."

"Sun Yuanjue, if you dare to hand me over to them, my Celestial Travel Sect will not let it slide!"

Yun Lingshu said through gritted teeth, but her body, like a puppet, moved uncontrollably towards the opposite side.

"The Celestial Travel Sect is struggling to protect itself nowadays. How much strength do you have to trouble me?"

Sun Yuanjue mocked, "I see that the Celestial Travel Sect indeed has no solution, sending a young one like you as an envoy, wanting to arrange a marriage alliance. I might as well ally with the Royal Family."

"Molan, are you still my friend, just watching them sell me out like this?"

Yun Lingshu shouted loudly, having lost her composure.

A woman in a Molan group emerged from within, with a helpless expression: "Ling Shu sister, I have no other options either."

"Quiet down."

He raised his hand to seal Yun Lingshu's mouth and said to Chief Steward Shen, "Shen, I'll leave this sincerity with you. Shouldn't your ship be withdrawn as well, it doesn't look good."

Chief Steward Shen saw Sun Yuanjue being so sensible and waved his hand to have Yun Lingshu taken away, smiling: "We will surely meet Valley Master Sun's requirements, last night was just a misunderstanding. We can cooperate more in the future."

They patrol various regions to deter restless existences, and since Jade Silkworm Valley is being so cooperative, there's no need to resort to force.

"No problem, if there's time, I should pay a visit to the Sixth Prince."

Sun Yuanjue smiled, for he would not directly confront the Royal Family like the Celestial Travel Sect, but would find another way to deal with it.

"Chief Steward Shen, invite Valley Master Sun over as well, and withdraw the ship from the array."

Song Huirui's voice sounded, and then the massive Dragon Ship retracted its power and voluntarily withdrew from the array.

Seeing this, Sun Yuanjue smiled: "The Sixth Prince comes to our poor land, we should open the door to welcome him. Everyone, prepare to welcome the guest."

He effortlessly opened the outer array, directly welcoming the Dragon Ship inside, where it settled on the square.

Shen Wang witnessed all this, realizing that with such cooperation with the Sixth Prince, there would likely be no fight, which was a bit disappointing.

For him, a fight between the two sides was the best outcome.

"Jade Silkworm Valley succumbs to the Royal Family, it seems the Royal Family's power is indeed strong, even if today's Royal Family is not what it once was."

Shen Wang thought to himself, watching Yun Lingshu being taken onto the ship, yet he still felt a sense of satisfaction.

This woman becoming a captive was a pleasing sight to him.

Before long, joyous laughter echoed from the ship, and then Sun Yuanjue along with the Sixth Prince and others disembarked, but Yun Lingshu did not reappear.

Sun Yuanjue hosted the Sixth Prince and others for a tour within the valley, while Silver Moon approached.

She resumed her original appearance, dressed in a form-fitting silver outfit, tall and elegant, with exquisite features, her eyes like a bright moon, carrying a cold hue.

"Shen Wang, no need to lay in ambush, come with me."

Hearing this, Shen Wang asked puzzled, "You're not going to take me aside and beat me up, are you?"

"One more word of nonsense, and I really will?"

Silver Moon replied impatiently.

At this point, the Sixth Prince in the distance looked back at Shen Wang, sending a voice transmission: "From now on, you'll work with Silver Moon."

Shen Wang winced, having no choice but to nod.

He didn't expect Silver Moon to request personnel from Song Huirui, so he had no choice but to tough it out and leave with Silver Moon, heading onto the ship.

Seeing Shen Wang's silence, Silver Moon sneered, "Do you really think I'm a petty person who would beat you up over a few words?"

"I... I'm not sure, what do you want from me right now?"

Shen Wang hesitated, wary that if this woman were truly trying to set him up.

"Have you heard of Gu poison? Other than its famous medicine, Jade Silkworm Valley is a specialist in using Gu poison for the Sun and Moon Dynasty."

Silver Moon looked mockingly at Shen Wang, "I'm here to ask you to help me study Gu poison."

Shen Wang's heart skipped a beat, "How do you want to study it?"

"Of course, through firsthand experience." Silver Moon was very satisfied with Shen Wang's reaction.

"..."

Shen Wang was speechless, "You want to use me to test poison? I'd rather you just beat me up."

"I'm not looking to settle personal scores with you; do you really think I'm petty?"

Silver Moon boarded the ship, looking back at Jade Silkworm Valley, "Did you discover Gu insects last night?"

"I did, but what does that have to do with me testing poison?" Shen Wang frowned.

"Gu insects aren't our specialty. There was someone skilled, but you killed him. If I don't come to you, who else can I turn to?"

Silver Moon retorted.

Shen Wang guessed she was talking about Black Death and responded grumpily, "Do you think by coming to me, I can break all their Gu poisons?"

"Your life force is strong, allowing you to test poison and find antidotes. Even if you can't break all Gu poisons, finding a way to handle most is possible."

Silver Moon spoke unceremoniously, "Jade Silkworm Valley is acting submissively now; who knows if it's a facade? We can't truly trust them and do nothing."

"Big Sister."

Shen Wang's face darkened, "No matter how strong my life force is, I can't handle it."

Testing medicine is already risky; testing poison is entirely toxic. He didn't think he can withstand it.

"You can refuse the Sixth Prince."

Silver Moon said calmly.

Shen Wang sighed, "I have some research on Gu poison; I don't necessarily have to ingest or apply it."

"Oh, you didn't just learn Black Death's saber technique but also his path of Gu poison? You've really finished off your master thoroughly."

Silver Moon teased him, realizing she wouldn't know he practiced poison dao without pressuring him.

"It's not like you think; I'm a good person, all forced."

Shen Wang pouted; he hadn't learned much of the path of poison Gu. Mostly, with Black Death under his control, he could ask about unsolvable poisons anytime.

"You still consider yourself a good person?"

Silver Moon scoffed.

"You'll understand once you get to know me; a long journey proves the strength of a horse, long-term acquaintance reveals a person's heart."

Shen Wang didn't argue further.

"You really know how to talk, let's go. First, help me identify the various Gu insects encountered last night."

Silver Moon acted decisively, ready to proceed.

"Why rush? Let me first go home and reassure my eight wives."

Shen Wang shook his head, "Wouldn't you be cruel to let me pass by my home without entering?"

"So much trouble! Hurry up, I'll find you at 1:45 PM."

Silver Moon didn't want to continue talking with him, realizing he wasn't afraid of her. With no means of control at her disposal, she decided to step back to avoid mutual embarrassment.

"Thanks, you're a good person."

Shen Wang smiled, "Do you want to come to my home as a guest?"

Silver Moon turned and left.

Shen Wang shrugged and quickly headed back to his courtyard.

The eight women were expectantly waiting, worried something might happen to Shen Wang. Seeing him return, each showed a joyful smile.

"Husband is back."

The women greeted him, Shen Wang giving each a touch or hug, easing his troubled mood.

He chatted with them for a while, assuring them to cultivate, leaving only Qing Luo and Jinnan on duty.

In the cultivation room, Shen Wang expanded his thoughts, starting to research the arrays on the dragon ship.

His daughter had elevated his array skills to a new realm, and what he couldn't understand before was now clearer, allowing him quick insight.

On the dragon ship were numerous arrays, intricately linked, not only top-grade ones but combined into top-grade arrays, explaining why even a Nascent Soul can't benefit much.

Such high-level arrays posed a significant threat to Shen Wang, and the core array was in the Sixth Prince's chambers; he lacked the confidence to break it but could secretly control some subordinate arrays.

"There truly are arrays monitoring various power fluctuations; these can be secretly controlled, ensuring my breakthroughs or external communications aren't detected by the arrays."

Shen Wang glanced at the small courtyard, without being noticed, he formed runes with condensed primordial power, starting to tamper with things.

An hour later, Shen Wang secretly controlled the arrays around his courtyard and its surrounding area. He could instantly discover and react if anyone used arrays to monitor him.

"If my skill advances further, I'd control the core array too. Then this ship will be at my command."

Shen Wang smirked inwardly, realizing Sixth Prince Song Huirui definitely didn't anticipate inviting a wolf into his home. Once he knew, it'd be too late.
