At this moment, the jade pendant on Lin Yi's chest suddenly moved. He hurriedly gave Huang Xiaotao a look, signaling her to be careful.
"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaotao asked, puzzled.
"Pay attention to the sound of the water. Something feels wrong." Lin Yi frowned.
Although he could not see anything with the naked eye, the monotonous sound of the water had clearly become mixed up. It gave Lin Yi the feeling that another ship was rapidly approaching.
The moment this thought appeared, it became very strong. Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He immediately wanted to warn Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan. It was better to be safe than sorry.
However, before he could say anything, four powerful auras suddenly soared into the sky from not far away. They flew in their direction without any concealment. Lin Yi could not help but be shocked. These four were actually experts at the peak of the late Golden Elixir realm!
There was no time to think about why these four people would suddenly appear on the vast sea with such thick sea fog. Lin Yi hurriedly took a few steps back with Huang Xiaotao. At the same time, he warned Li Guan and Guan Zhiyuan.
In the blink of an eye, the four experts at the peak of the late Golden Elixir realm landed on the deck. Each of them had a fierce aura and an unfriendly expression.
At the same time, Li Guan and Guan Zhiyuan received the warning and hurriedly came to the deck. They looked at each other, then at Lin Yi and Guan Zhiyuan, before looking at the four uninvited guests who were approaching aggressively.
However, they were experienced escorts after all. Faced with such a situation, an ordinary person would have been scared to the ground. However, Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan did not seem nervous at all.
"Four masters, I am Li Yanji of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency. I am passing by your place. Please do me a favor and I will definitely repay you in the future." Li Yanji cupped his hands at the four people and took a deep breath.
He dared not brag about the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency elsewhere, but at least in the Weiarc Territorial Waters. Everyone knew about it and it was quite a deterrent. Usually, even when robbers wanted to steal goods, they would deliberately avoid a large escort agency like the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency to avoid being hunted down by people all over the world in the future.
Lin Yi secretly nodded. Li Yanji didn't seem like much before, but it was rare for him to be able to remain so calm at such a critical moment. Otherwise, if he trembled in fear the moment he appeared and was seen as a soft persimmon that could be pinched at any time, there would really be no leeway at all.
"Equal Heaven Escort Agency? Haha, do you think you can scare me with such a title? " The leader of the group curled his lips in disdain. The other three experts at the peak of the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm also laughed coldly. It seemed like they did not think much of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency.
Hearing this, Li Yanji could not help but feel suffocated. He and Guan Zhiyuan looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Both of them were experienced escorts. They had encountered several robberies in the past, but each time, as long as they mentioned the name of the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency, they would not be able to escape. After all, the Equal Heaven Escort Agency was the local tyrant of the Verdant Arc Territorial Waters. Its power was deeply rooted. Both sides had to give him some face.
Even the most difficult of criminals would have some misgivings. At most, they would ask for some benefits. Then, it would be fine.
However, the four experts at the peak of the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm who had appeared out of nowhere were completely different from the criminals they had encountered before. After hearing the words "Equal Heaven Escort Agency", not only were they not afraid, but they also looked disdainful. It was obvious that they were here for the Equal Heaven Escort Agency.
"This …" Li Yanji hesitated for a moment and looked at Guan Zhiyuan. After all, they were the permanent escorts of the Equal Heaven Escort Agency. Now was the time for them to be put to good use. It would be a little inexcusable if they just admitted defeat.
However, just as he was about to bite the bullet and say a few good words, the leader of the other party sneered impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I will take over the ship from now on. If you know what's good for you, I can spare your lives. If you don't, humph, then don't blame me for being rude. Although there are no sea beasts in the sea, I can still break your legs and drown you."
As they spoke, the four people at the peak of the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm unleashed their powerful aura without reservation. Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan were scared out of their wits. They nodded repeatedly and did not dare to speak again.
The other party had four experts at the peak of the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. On their side, although there were four people, the strongest one was only at the peak of the middle stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, and the two weakest were only at the early stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. They were not at the same level. How could they fight?
There was no room for resistance. What else could they do except to admit defeat?
Li Guan and Guan Zhiyuan were experienced. To put it bluntly, they were two old foxes. When faced with such a situation, they would not act rashly. After all, the treasures did not belong to them. They were just escorting someone else. Why would they risk their lives?
After all, they could go back and explain the situation. Given the difference in strength between them, even the Heaven's Equal Escort Agency could not blame them. At most, they would just get some compensation.
Seeing this, Lin Yi gave Huang Xiaotao a look and did not move either.
This escort mission was led by Li Guan and Guan Zhiyuan. Even the two of them had surrendered. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao naturally did not need to take the lead.
According to Lin Yi's character, if Li Guan and Guan Zhiyuan chose to resist, then he and Huang Xiaotao would definitely not retreat. Even if the other party was four experts at the peak of the late stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, and there seemed to be a huge difference in strength, if Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao worked together, they might still stand a chance. The power of their combined Eight Trigrams Palm Strike was fatal to any Golden Elixir Realm expert!
"Not bad. You're all quite sensible. Save me the trouble. Put your hands on your heads and squat to the side!" The leader laughed coldly. At the same time, he instructed the person behind him, "You go and steer the ship."
Li Yanji and Guan Zhiyuan did not dare to resist. They immediately squatted to the side obediently. Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao also followed silently.
After a while, he felt the ship suddenly turn at a great angle. It deviated from the original direction by more than 90 degrees.
In Lin Yi's mind, he could not help but recall the sea map that he had seen before they set off. At this moment, if they were to deviate in this direction, they would not be going to Roc Island. They would not even be going to the Fleecy Arc Territorial Waters. Instead, they would be going directly to another territorial waters.
If he remembered correctly, the territorial waters in this direction were called the Zhenduan Territorial Waters. The situation there was not much different from the Fleecy Arc Territorial Waters. However, it was said that compared to the Fleecy Arc Territorial Waters, it was even more chaotic. It was a truly chaotic land without a master.
At the same time, Li Guan and Guan Zhiyuan were also puzzled. However, they were puzzled as to why these four villains had suddenly appeared in this place. (To be continued …)
