At first he was startled, but then he grew terrified as he felt the suppressed cultivation bases of the prisoners around him.

Some of them had cultivation that was even higher than Grey's, yet they were being suppressed by rings of light around their wrists.

"No, no. Where am I?" The nonhuman joined in the shouting with his terrified voice. But by the time that the echoes reached the walls, Grey had already left.

Grey shut the door behind him without looking back. The corridors going down to the prison was dark and gloomy, with his eyesight, he could easily Pierce through the darkness and see what lay beyond.

As walked towards his office, Grey decided to ask the captain if he knew anyone who could help him to repair his magic ship. He had later checked the non-human's storage bag and found it contained over would spirit stones.

That amount of spirit stones led Grey to believe that he had been doing some shady business before he was caught.

As he knocked on the captain's door, he heard her say come in and entered inside like a breeze.

Inside the Captain's spacious office, Grey could see her cultivating. Her eyes were closed but the moment he walked in, they suddenly opened and gazed at him with a violet light.

With his perception active, Grey could feel a dense layer of spirit energy between him and the captain. The dense layer was like a wall that kept the strong energy fluctuations she emitted from reaching the outside world.

But once Grey came into close proximity, he could easily feel the strong Foundation Establishment spiritual energy emanating from her.

"I heard you caused a ruckus. It's not even been a night and you're out patrolling again." Grey noticed that the captain did not speak in a teasing tone this time. Her voice was calm and collected as she spoke.

Grey behaved like he didn't hear her comment and spoke without any restraint. His eyes showing decisiveness. "I came to ask if you knew someone that could help me to repair my magic ship. It's been severely damaged."

The captain nodded, her gaze calm as she threw a Jade slip containing a cultivator's contact details.

"On second thought, it's best if I come with you. He's attitude is not exactly user friendly and you are not friendly on your own. I fear a fight will break out between you two." Grey could only shrug. Right now, he was not really afraid of Qi Accumulation cultivators, but when he thought back to the young girl with two pigtails, he couldn't help but rethink that he was not so strong.

Gret followed the captain out of the Detective Agency Department and towards the port. Grey could see her expression slowly become more cheerful and teasing as usual.

She tossed Grey an apple and took a bite out of hers. Grey did not eat it immediately but held it in his hands as he followed her.

Only after twenty minutes had passed did he look at the apple and take a bite.

But at that moment, they had entered deep within the Transportation department. Grey saw how the captain greeted some people while some avoided direct eye contact with her.

This continued until they got to a large warehouse. The captain stopped a member of the transport department and asked. "Where's your chubby captain?" The member was first stunned, however his eyes then showed enlightenment and he pointed inside the warehouse.

The captain nodded and threw him an apple, which he didn't know what to do with it. So as they went inside the warehouse, Grey saw many various magic ships. They had transformed back to their real-size appearance and we're currently being tested.

Inside the warehouse, the sight was almost mesmerizing. Massive magic ships—restored to their full size—loomed like slumbering beasts. Array masters and spirit engineers moved among them, adjusting runes, chanting quietly, coaxing energy into balance.

The captain looked around before seeing a chubby figure sitting on the floor while fiddling with a small magic ship in a bottle. She then went to meet him.

"Hey, Bao. I've got someone that wants to repair his magic ship." The captain said. The moment Grey heard her call the chubby person Bao, his expression immediately turned cold.

The moment the name left her lips, Grey's expression shifted. His eyes hardened, the temperature in the room seeming to drop.

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes as he readied his fist.

"Aye! Can't you see I'm busy? Tell him to wai-". It was at that moment that he seemed to recognize the Captain's voice and turned his head.

It was also at that point that Grey saw the chubby person's face. His expression became even more detached as he moved like wind. His shadow followed after him while his body released after-images.

By the time the chubby cultivator saw thr captain, and Grey who was rushing towards him, his surprised expression turned to shock as he tried to run away.

But his entire body was seemingly flattened and torn through by a fist shaped air cannon. The chubby cultivator's body turned into pieces of torn paper and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, the chubby cultivator's real body appeared over ten meters away. His face was pale and filled with shock. He could definitely tell that the person who just punched was filled with killing intent.

Killing intent so strong that he was very apprehensive of it. Even though he had broken through to the tenth level of Qi Accumulation and was close to entering the Foundation Establishment realm, Grey's punch had scared the life out of him. If that punch had seriously hit him, he knew for sure that he would be seriously injured.

'I don't understand, when did I anger someone like him? I'm sure I've never met him in my life be-' But it was at that moment that he recognized the technique that Grey used.

"You..."

The chubby cultivator pointed, but Grey did not even give him a chance to speak as he rushed at him again. His hand clenched into a tight fist.

A cold energy also began to surrond him, waiting and ready to burst out on his command.

"Wait..." Bao said, but Grey's hand moved like a blur again and the chubby cultivator turned into shreds of paper, he appeared instantly several meters away.

'Found you...' Grey said inwardly and clapped his hands wildly. A cold aura suddenly burst out from his body and covered a radius of twenty meters. Everything within twenty meters was slowed down significantly.

The chubby cultivator felt his limbs grow cold and numb. So cold that it took a long while to even move his hand a little.

'Not good!' the chubby cultivator said inwardly. His mind was still normal, but his body was moving in a rather slow manner.

Just as he was thinking of what to do, he saw a pitch black shadow appear before him. The shadow then took the shape of a monster with a very huge mouth and tried to swallow the chubby cultivator. But when he ate him, the chubby cultivator's body quickly flattened and turned into a paper substitute.

The chubby cultivator appeared several meters outside of Grey's cold zone. A single trickle of sweat ran down from the side of his face as he revealed a wry smile.

All through this short battle that could not even be counted as ten breaths of time, he had been thoroughly suppressed by Grey so much that all he could do was use his paper substitutes to avoid severe danger.

He looked at a small scratch on his hand which was filled with dense corrosive substance which started to corrode his entire arm and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The skin hissed, eaten away slowly despite his attempts to neutralize it.

"This…" he muttered, smiling bitterly. "So, it really is you."

Across the warehouse, Grey stood motionless—eyes cold as the void, aura crackling with restrained fury. He had already raised his hand up.

A purple, mysterious aura began to circulate around his hand and turned into a purple sword made of spirit energy. A dark gold aura also flowed around the faint illusionary purple sword.

Suddenly, a purple sword over ten meters long appeared over his head. This purple sword was completely covered in a dark-golden domineering aura that threatened to suppress all within the Qi Accumulation realm.

Grey's eyes were cold as he locked unto the chubby cultivator. But just as he was about to slash down, the captain's figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.

Slowly, she brought her hand and placed it on his. "What are you doing little Grey?" She asked softly.
