Chapter 811 - 504: Inspiration and Conversion (Part 2)
After all, as a swordsman, he is more skilled in solo combat, and recruiting a group of mediocre lackeys would only waste his personal energy.
If he were of the summoner class, the transformation ability of this Demon King Battle Armor’s Dark Domain would have considerable potential, but alas, he is not.
In the cabin of the Demon Sect Flying Ship, the Demon Sect servants, who were in full control trying to escape, suddenly found their vision turning completely dark, plunging into abyssal darkness.
This darkness, besides affecting their vision, had an even more terrifying impact on their Spirit and will, devouring their minds in just a second or two, turning them forever into Wang Zhifan’s puppets.
Moreover, the invasion of darkness also caused significant changes in the appearance of these Demon Sect servants.
Some of them turned pale with eyes crimson red, while others grew black hair on their skin and sharp fangs in their mouths, becoming wicked humanoid monsters.
Yet Wang Zhifan felt this appearance was quite fitting for these people, as they were already people of the Demon Sect.
Many in the Demon Sect are terrifying in appearance and bloodthirsty; for them to look this way wouldn’t be too strange to outsiders, who would just assume the Demon Sect had come up with a new evil cultivation method.
Moreover, they generally stayed inside the Demon Sect Flying Ship on standby, rarely needing to contact the outside world.
"First, dock the Flying Ship on land. From now on, you will be the exclusive transport tool for Tiger Head Town, and you must wholeheartedly contribute to the development of Tiger Head Town. I will also arrange for the provision of your daily maintenance needs."
At this moment, everyone still alive on the Demon Sect Flying Ship had been converted by the Dark Domain, while a few remaining hidden experts were swiftly killed by Wang Zhifan, leading to the complete reclamation of the Demon Sect Flying Ship.
Previously, he had been focused on killing people rather than cutting down ships to preserve such a high-end tool for his own use in this world.
"By the way, the appearance of this Flying Ship is somewhat unappealing. Can you modify its look to resemble a normal Flying Ship?"
Thus, Wang Zhifan considered that although the Demon Sect Flying Ship was practical, it incorporated many elements of skeletons and blood, not aligning with a righteous image, so he consulted with the transformed servant serving in the role of navigator.
This originally stout middle-aged man had transformed into a monstrous figure resembling a black-furred gorilla due to the Dark Domain’s influence, yet he remained extremely humble before Wang Zhifan.
"Reporting to the lord, if it is just a simple external modification, given enough materials and manpower, we can complete it in three days. But to fully transform it into the likeness of a righteous Flying Ship, we lack that ability and would need to seek the assistance of the Celestial Secret Pavilion..."
"Alright, then let’s do a simple modification when conditions allow to distinguish it from other Demon Sect Flying Ships.
For now, clear the bodies outside, keep anything useful, and gather the rest and burn them."
Wang Zhifan didn’t want to complicate matters and decisively ordered, also instructing them to clean up the bodies of the nearby Demon Sect experts.
Subsequently, he instructed these converted servants to stay on the Flying Ship after completing their tasks and keep away idle onlookers until he made arrangements at Tiger Head Town before proceeding.
He himself quickly left the Flying Ship but did not immediately return to Tiger Head Town, instead heading in a direction outside the town.
In a flash, he arrived in a dense forest, extending his senses in search of a target but found nothing.
"Just now, it should still be in the Flying Ship...escaped?"
Wang Zhifan came to this place because he vaguely sensed after eliminating the Demon Sect experts that there was still one survivor in the area, but he prioritized the reclamation of the Flying Ship and did not come directly to confront them, allowing them a chance to escape.
"It doesn’t matter; leaving one alive might entice the Demon Sect to send gifts again, not necessarily a bad thing."
Thinking this, he turned back and returned to Tiger Head Town.
At this time, Tiger Head Town was bustling with noise, completely shaking off the previous pervasive sense of terror.
Having personally witnessed Wang Zhifan annihilate all the Demon Sect experts on the Flying Ship, everyone, whether male or female, young or old, local or outsider, felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, with the entire small town brimming with visible excitement.
"Today was truly worth coming here! Not only did we see the legendary Holy Tower, but we also witnessed the master of the Wind Snow Tower single-handedly destroy the Demon Sect Flying Ship! From now on, the Wind Snow Tower is bound to be renowned throughout the world!"
"Speaking of which, our Tiger Head Town is truly a treasure trove of feng shui! Not only has the legendary Holy Tower descended twice, but our local sect is incredibly powerful! No need to say more, with such a strong person as the master of Wind Snow Tower here, what else is there to worry about? Come on, let’s enter the tower together!"
"Wind Snow Tower! Wind Snow Tower! I, Erniu, will surely join Wind Snow Tower in this lifetime! To become a peerless strongman like the master!"
"Tsk! Look how happy you are, wasn’t you who killed the Demon Sect? You even hesitated to enter the Holy Tower, and Wind Snow Tower would want a coward like you?"
"Look who’s talking? Didn’t you stay out too? Do you dare to go in with me?"
...
The street was abuzz with discussions, reaching the ears of those around, even causing the well-dressed noble son, who was about to mount his horse, to suddenly change his mind.
"Marquis, let’s go quickly! If the Demon Sect retaliates, this place will surely suffer!"
At that moment, the noble son’s close protection was still provided by a tall, burly middle-aged guard with keen eyes, who urged his hesitant lord.
Having witnessed Wang Zhifan single-handedly destroy the Demon Sect Flying Ship, his group felt not only astonished but was also eager to leave as soon as possible.
Because they were well aware of how powerful the Demon Sect was, and while the master of Wind Snow Tower was immensely strong in eliminating all the enemies on the Flying Ship, ultimately, he was just one person. Facing the Demon Sect’s retaliation, he could only ensure his own safety; he couldn’t save everyone else who might be affected.
"Ah Qiang, even if the Demon Sect wants to retaliate, it’s not something that can happen in a day or two. Their main sect is far from here, and with the master of Wind Snow Tower being so invincible, sending a bunch of nobodies would be completely meaningless...what harm is there if this Marquis lingers for another two days?"
After speaking, the well-dressed noble son stepped onto the stirrup, mounted the horse, and then turned around, riding towards the center of Tiger Head Town, retracing the route they had previously fled from.
"Marquis..."
The many guards who were originally planning to escort him out of Tiger Head Town were left feeling helpless at this, but with their duties and hierarchy, they could only quickly mount their horses to follow and continue guarding the Marquis during his excursion in Tiger Head Town.
Yet Tiger Head Town isn’t a big city, not even barely considered a small city. In the previous days, they had already explored the place thoroughly, and the only part left unexplored was the black tower floating in the center of the town.
Therefore, in disbelief, the guards watched as the well-dressed noble son, riding ahead, suddenly leaped into the air. Using a superior Lightweight Skill, he soared like a flying swallow onto the skyward black tower, his figure disappearing in an instant.
"What are you standing around for! Quickly get up there and protect the Marquis!"
The tall, burly bodyguard was nearly startled off his horse at this moment.
He hadn’t expected the usually cautious Marquis to act so impulsively, entering the black tower alone without even a word.
They, as guards, had no choice but to follow suit, leaping onto the black tower one after another, hoping to catch up with the noble son’s pace.
Wang Zhifan, of course, was not aware of such trifling matters, not really focusing on the black tower, as he was now dealing with the chief steward of Wind Snow Tower, Mr. He, instructing him about matters related to the Demon Sect Flying Ship.
"Mr. He, the Demon Sect servants on the Flying Ship have been subdued by my secret technique. From now on, treat them all as our own, do not allow anyone to attack them, and they will not easily disembark...
This Flying Ship is immensely useful, and an essential part of Tiger Head Town’s future development, so it must be well utilized..."
After explaining to a bewildered Mr. He, Wang Zhifan turned his attention back to the black tower, continuing with the matters that were interrupted by the Demon Sect’s assault.
