Chapter 926: Eight Gates
Both sides couldn’t communicate due to the language barrier, which was quite awkward.
Robb’s knowledge of the ghost language was limited to a few phrases: “Greetings,” “Destroy,” “Stay,” “Storage,” Trying to have a meaningful conversation with just these phrases would likely be challenging.
But Robb didn’t mind much; he felt even if they couldn’t communicate, it didn’t matter. The group of ghosts before him clearly seemed to be the black sheep of their kind, genuine Japanese pirates causing trouble on the sea. Even the people of their own ghost nation suffered due to them. So, without further ado, he decided to give them a beating first.
He raised one hand high into the air…
The ghost warriors hesitated for a moment, then suddenly charged towards him.
Robb chuckled and swung his hand forward. ” Senro Bansho!”
A dazzling radiance burst forth from his palm, just like the Onmyoji from the ghost clan had released earlier, but the difference was that Robb’s radiance seemed larger and more brilliant.
And, of course, more powerful!
The radiant light transformed into four sets of runes suspended in mid-air.
Fire Arts, Earth Arts, Water Arts, Wind Arts!
Then the runes transformed into beams of four-colored light, raining down chaotically at the center. The ghost warriors standing in the middle were instantly struck from all sides, and their appearances continuously changed due to the shifting colors. Once the light subsided, the warriors were all sprawled on the ground.
Cries of astonishment resounded from the ship: “What’s happening?”
“This can’t be real!”
“This Westerner actually knows our Onmyoji techniques.”
“Moreover, his Onmyoji technique seems quite formidable.”
“I don’t believe it.”
Two Onmyoji Masters and a ghost magician emerged on the ship’s deck. The three exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of disbelief. However, now wasn’t the time for wonder; they had to take him down first.
The two Onmyoji Masters began chanting their techniques, and the magician started reciting his own incantations…
Robb smiled and said, “I don’t have time to play with you all. I still have a journey ahead. Let’s finish this quickly.”
He raised his hand again, palm facing upwards, and performed a seal. Then, with a swift motion, his hand came down like a gust of wind, striking the deck. At the instant his palm touched the deck, a mysterious Eastern-style array appeared on the surface.
This array seemed quite elaborate; its origins likely traced back to Big Tang. However, after it spread to the ghost nation, the Onmyoji Masters there made modifications. It now looked incredibly intricate, with numerous array gates depicted on it. If the casting animation could be paused, the audience could count them – there were eight array gates illustrated on it.

“Boom!”
With a tremendous roar, a four-colored brilliance erupted from the array, simultaneously striking all the ghost beings on the ship.
The ghosts let out cries of agony as they tumbled over. Even the two Onmyoji Masters who were chanting spells weren’t spared; they were hit by the radiance. Groaning in pain, they fell to the ground, before exclaiming with dismay, “This can’t be… Such a high-level Onmyoji technique…”
After the move, there wasn’t a person left standing on the ship.
Robb then waved towards the astonished Trembling Ice Knights in the distance. He activated a bard’s skill, hailing from afar, and shouted, “Come clean up the battlefield.”
The middle-aged leader of the Trembling Ice Knights wore a puzzled expression as he turned to the two young nuns and asked, “Who… Who exactly is this young man? Why can he transform into a seal like a Druid and also release mysterious Eastern techniques?”
The two young nuns chuckled playfully, “He’s Godfather of Westwind City!”
“What?” The middle-aged man froze on the spot. “Oh my goodness, Godfather of Westwind City? Good heavens!”
The warriors of the Trembling Ice Knights on the ship were all left dumbstruck.
No one could have expected to encounter the legendary hero, the man who ended the war, the Godfather of Westwind City here. It was truly an extraordinary stroke of luck!
Many of them knelt on one knee on the deck, looking up at Robb with admiration in their eyes.
Robb playfully scolded, “Come clean up the mess; don’t just stand there.”
“Oh, right, quickly move the ship away.”
Later that night, everyone returned to the dock of the Trembling Ice Tower. The battleship of the Trembling Ice Knights, Robb’s armed trading ship, and the ghost pirates’ ironclad ship were all docked together in the harbor.
The warriors of the Trembling Ice Knights locked up the captured ghosts in prison. Then, they brought in a seafaring merchant who understood the ghost language and interrogated them about where the ships and crew they had previously seized were.
However, the results of the interrogation were brutal and heart-wrenching. Every ship that had been attacked by the ghosts before had not a single survivor; they had all been killed by these ghost pirates.
These ghosts were indeed the kind of Japanese pirates Robb was familiar with. In this world, however, they were known as “ghost pirates.” The ghost nation was currently in a chaotic era of warring states, and these exiled warriors and deserters who couldn’t find a place within the kingdom had taken to the seas to cause trouble.
Upon learning that all the crewmembers who had been attacked by them had been killed, the Trembling Ice’s members sentenced these ghost pirates to death. Robb had no objections to this; it was common practice for pirates in various countries to be subject to such laws. It wasn’t inappropriate; these individuals should rightfully pay the price of their misdeeds with their lives.
The nature of their killings and that of soldiers on the battlefield had fundamentally distinct implications and were not worthy of forgiveness.

Robb said, “I didn’t expect the ghost pirates to venture so far now. Even our Kingdom of Gran’s harbors have been attacked. Over in the Eastern Big Tang, who knows how many ghost pirates are still active. It seems we’ll have quite a bit of trouble ahead.”
The two young nuns’ father murmured, “Doesn’t that make it difficult for our Kingdom of Gran to do business with them in the future?”
“That’s indeed a concern,” Robb replied. “However, the Kingdom of Gran is quite distant from the Big Tang. Our navy can’t sail all the way to the east to eradicate the ghost pirates. This matter needs to be resolved by the Eastern Big Tang themselves. Moreover, the internal strife in the ghost nation is temporary. Once the warring states in the ghost nation come to an end, the ghost pirates will naturally decrease. During this period, we should reduce trade with the Eastern nations. Focus more on running the New World routes. If we must engage in trade with the Eastern countries, we must collaborate with several merchant fleets and form a larger convoy.”
The two young nuns’ father took note of these words.
Later that evening, members of the Trembling Ice Knights prepared a feast to entertain Robb. However, when they came to the dock to find him, they discovered that Robb and the three merchant ships had quietly left the harbor, continuing their journey to the east.
