Chapter: 1762

�You�re right. The Demonic Soul Blade is used for rituals. Its value lies more in its political and symbolic significance than its function as a weapon. After the Demonic Soul Blade disappeared, turmoil arose within the Mara Sect. To quell the chaos within the sect, we must retrieve the Demonic Soul Blade at all costs. That�s the reason why both I and my granddaughter have come to this distant place. Now, it�s your turn.�

�I don�t have any special reason for coming to this place. I simply wanted to see the sea. Then I encountered this guy here and got swept up in this matter.�

�You mean you just happen to be here by coincidence?�

�That�s right.�

�Huh!�

Tarha gave him an incredulous look, but Pyo-wol looked at him without a change in his expression.

�They�re called the Phantom Fleet.�

�What do you mean?�

�The ones who killed this kid�s siblings. They secretly infiltrated the harbor as a group of anonymous individuals.�

�Wait! Did you just say Phantom Fleet?�

Tarha�s face suddenly stiffened.�

It was the same with Yul Ayeon.

�No way�t?�

�The Phantom Fleet?�

The grandfather and granddaughter pair looked at each other�s faces.

Pyo-wol asked them,�

�Do you know of them?�

�That�s� um��

�I�m not sure if it�s the same group, but there is also a group in the West that uses the same name, Phantom Fleet.�

�Are you sure?�

�I�ve never seen them myself, but I�ve heard stories about them for decades. No one has actually seen the Phantom Fleet firsthand, that�s why they�re just dismissed as a legend.�

Unsurprisingly, it was in the coastal areas where stories about the Phantom Fleet were most prevalent. For the coastal people of the Western Region, the Phantom Fleet was a terrifying presence.�

Just hearing the name, Phantom Fleet, made many people shudder. However, those living in the inland did not believe in the Phantom Fleet.�

Not only because the stories about them were too far-fetched, but more importantly, they never had the chance to verify their existence with their own eyes.

The Mara Sect was also deep in the inland.

Therefore, they regarded the Phantom Fleet as nothing more than a fanciful legend or a fabricated existence born from people�s fantasies.

The same was true for Yul Ayeon and Tarha.

They had heard of the Phantom Fleet many times, but it was mostly in passing, so they didn�t pay much attention to it. However, hearing the name again here, they couldn�t help but think differently.

Even if the Phantom Fleet in this place and the one in the West were different entities, it still made a difference.

�I�ll have to check them out for myself. If they are indeed the same group as the Phantom Fleet in the West, then it�s no coincidence that the treasures of the Mara Sect ended up here.� JrNovels.com
