The wind was blowing from behind, and although all three ships were affected, it impacted Ling Zhenfei's ship the most.
Ling Zhenfei pondered for a moment; if this continued, sooner or later those two ships would catch up. He must come up with a plan.
After some mental calculations, Ling Zhenfei finally came up with an idea. He took something from his Emperor Heavenly Essence.
It was a white powder, very fine, almost invisible.
Ling Zhenfei then used Northern Spiritual Energy to toss the powder into the air, and it drifted back with the wind.
Ling Zhenfei had calculated carefully; the powder would surely reach those two ships.
As long as they inhaled even a bit, the white powder would send them into a deep sleep.
Ling Zhenfei was overjoyed; as long as they stopped pursuing, they were safe.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before the two ships stopped pursuing. Ling Zhenfei used his Divine Sense to check, and everyone on the two ships was asleep.
