Lin Yi suddenly realized that these spirit beasts had probably become pirates because they had offended the Vermilion Bird. Now that the Vermilion Bird was in power, they had no choice but to escape and become pirates if they wanted to live.
While Lin Yi was conversing with the ghost, everyone else was also arguing fiercely. Everyone knew that Lan Tiefu's words made sense, but the premise was that they had to be strong enough. What if the other party was much stronger than them? Wouldn't they just be waiting for death if they continued to stay here?
However, everyone knew that it was useless no matter how they argued. The decision ultimately rested with Lin Yi, the special envoy. Unless they were prepared to betray the three northern pavilions, Lin Yi's words had to carry enormous weight. Even Ram Jie and Lan Tiefu could not change his mind.
After hearing the ghost's words, Lin Yi quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind before deciding, "Let's escape by ship!"
The argument immediately died down. Everyone was stunned when they heard that, looking at Lin Yi in shock. Even those who were thinking of retreating did not expect Lin Yi to make such a decision.
"No, we're too close to each other. We'll only expose ourselves if we escape now. Besides, there's fog everywhere. We can't even figure out what's going on, so how can we escape?" Lan Tiefu immediately objected.
At the side, Ram Jie frowned slightly and did not say anything. Meanwhile, most of the people present nodded in agreement. Although this was not a battlefield, escaping at the last minute was not a wise choice no matter how one looked at it. It was equivalent to completely handing the initiative to the other party, making it difficult for them to retaliate. This would only encourage the other party's arrogance and make them even more unbridled, which would only worsen the outcome.
More importantly, the fog was still there. If they knew the way out, it was not unacceptable to escape. After all, they could shake off the other party as long as they were fast enough. However, the fog was so thick that they did not even dare to move before. Moreover, they had to escape at full speed now. Wasn't that gambling with their lives?
Since it was also a gamble, rather than dying on the sea without knowing the reason, it was better to fight the other party openly. Even if he died, he would at least die knowing the reason.
Seeing that everyone had different reactions, Shangguan Lan 'er suddenly stood up and said, "All of you, shut up. Little Junior Brother is the special envoy appointed by Grandpa. He has the final say on how this ship goes. If anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks and disturb him, he will be punished. It will be regarded as a betrayal of the Three Pavilions of the north island! "
No one dared to utter a word. Even Lan Tiefu, who had taken the lead in objecting, chose to remain silent after seeing Shangguan Laner's expression. After all, he was Shanghai Tianhua's trusted aide, and he couldn't possibly take the lead in opposing Shangguan Laner, the princess of the Soaring Pavilion.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Yi could not help but look at Shanghai Laner in surprise. Although this lass was usually innocent and unaffected, she really had some courage at this critical moment. He could vaguely see some of Shanghai Tianhua's power. After all, he had been influenced by her since young. This Little Senior Sister was not simple!
The situation was urgent, and there was no room for delay. Seeing that everyone had tactfully shut up, Lin Yi immediately took the lead and entered the cockpit without saying anything. Everyone followed him in, nervously watching how he was going to deal with the situation.
The cockpit of this huge treasure ship was completely different from ordinary ships. In this huge space, there were more than ten control posts, each of which was specialized in controlling a set of Spirit Arrays. Only specially trained professionals could operate it.
"I'll do it!" Lin Yi suddenly walked to the control post in the middle and gestured for the helmsman to step aside. Seeing this, everyone was instantly stunned. This guy was actually going to take the helm himself?!
This was not a joke. To take the helm of a huge treasure ship, one must go through very strict professional training in advance. Otherwise, even the experienced helmsman would be blinded. Both were ships, but a huge treasure ship and an ordinary ship were completely different things.
"Uh … Special Envoy Lin … This is different from a ship …" the helmsman said weakly.
"I know, so I'll leave the other controls to you guys. I'll only control the direction. From now on, just listen to my orders." Lin Yi took over the control post.
"Oh, okay." Seeing that Lin Yi was so determined, although the helmsman was not confident, he could only quickly step aside. Otherwise, if they were in a stalemate, not only would it delay the opportunity, if the other party got angry and accused them of betraying the north island, they would be dead meat.
The helmsman was anxious, and the others were also on edge. However, at this time, they did not dare to say anything.
"The other party is still ten feet away from us!" Gong Yangjie's voice suddenly resounded, giving everyone a fright. They could already see the outline of the ship from a distance of ten feet. If there was no defensive array outside the ship, the other party could easily jump off the ship and come over.
Lin Yi did not pay attention to him. He felt the control lever calmly and then said in a deep voice, "Full speed!"
The operators at the various posts were shocked when they heard this. Unlike ordinary ships, which mainly relied on the sea breeze to move, this treasured ship's power came from the formation. As long as there was a sufficient supply of spiritual energy, its speed could be increased to the limit in just a few breaths of time. This was an advantage that no other ship could compare to.
However, the sea fog was so thick that they could not even tell whether it was the island or the sea in front of them, let alone the reefs. Wasn't doing this courting death?
However, Lin Yi's tone was strict, and everyone did not dare to hesitate. They quickly turned the power of the array to the maximum, and then they all staggered. The huge treasure ship's strong acceleration was not a joke.
At this moment, Lin Yi was staring at the sea in front of him with a serious expression. He obviously could not see anything from ten feet away, but he still acted as if he was serious. After a moment, as if something had happened, he suddenly turned sharply to the left.
"No! We can't go like this! There are large reefs in front of us. We can't go this way. It's too dangerous! "Seeing this, the helmsman was suddenly shocked.
He was the helmsman on the previous trips to West Island, so he had some understanding of this route. With the treasure ship's strength, although it was not afraid of ordinary reefs, if there were too many reefs, it would still cause irreversible damage to the treasure ship. Especially at this extreme speed, it was very likely that even the protective array could not withstand it and would directly break!
The helmsman was terrified, and the rest of the crew followed suit. Lin Yi seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually a madman. They couldn't help but feel like they'd boarded a pirate ship. They wouldn't all die in his hands, would they?
