The ship was made from a dead planet and was covered with arrays carved by grandmasters. It was sturdy, stable, and unparalleled.
At the very least, since Ling Xian boarded the ship, the ship hasn't shaken at all. There wasn't even a trace of instability.
Yet now, it was shaking violently. This naturally made him frown.
"Something's not right! The Mei Clan's ship is unparalleled. Even if it encountered a beast of emptiness, it cannot be shaken. "
"Could it be that we encountered space pirates?"
"That's very likely. In the vast universe, the only beings who can shake a Star Boat are those goddamn space pirates."
Everyone chimed in, finding it hard to hide their panic.
"Space pirates …" Ling Xian squinted his eyes and they shone with seriousness.
If they really encountered space pirates, then things would be very serious.
There are many dangers in the universe. For example, beasts of emptiness and black holes. But the scariest existence is without a doubt, space pirates.
To put it bluntly, they are a group of robbers who use the universe as their foundation to rob travelers.
Most of these people are evil and cruel. Because they could no longer survive on their own planets, they ran out into the universe to become space pirates.
It sounds like they are a group of people who have fallen from grace. But in reality, space pirates are all powerhouses.
On top of that, most space pirates work in groups. Therefore, they are scarier than beasts of emptiness and are the beings that travelers don't want to encounter.
"We have indeed encountered space pirates. But there is no need to panic. The Mei Clan's ship is not to be trifled with."
Mei Yan Rou appeared. Her face was no longer gentle like usual. Instead, there was only coldness.
"They really are space pirates? This is bad. "Everyone's expression changed and they panicked even more.
Only Ling Xian's expression was calm and collected.
Everyone has only heard of the ship's name, but they don't know how powerful it is. Ling Xian, on the other hand, knows very well.
Without exaggerating, if all the arrays are activated, then even a powerhouse of the eighth level cannot move the ship.
On top of that, he had the most powerful golden armor. Of course he was calm.
"No need to panic. I have activated the ship's offensive array and am fighting against the space pirates."
Seeing how calm Ling Xian was, Mei Yan Rou's eyes flashed with strangeness. She waved her hand and the image of the battle appeared in midair.
There were a total of eight galactic pirates, and all of them were at the peak of the seventh level. Their auras could devour galaxies and shake the world.
Each of them unleashed their most powerful magics and magics to bombard the Star Boat with all their might.
However, it was blocked by the formation patterns that filled the sky.
The Star Boat displayed its prowess, and the runic array network turned into a means of attack. While blocking the attacks of the few people, it also attacked the eight experts.
Boom boom boom!
The Milky Way trembled and the void shattered. Even though it was just an image, it still caused everyone to feel an immense pressure.
"Such powerful space pirates. Fortunately, I have the Star Boat."
"As expected of one of the Mei family's trump cards. Impressive indeed."
"Let's hope we can repel these galactic pirates. Otherwise, we'll be in danger."
Everyone heaved sighs of relief when they saw that the Star Boat had successfully stopped them, and they couldn't help but praise the Star Boat.
Ling Xian's eyes were full of compliments as well, "It is no wonder this is an array carved by a grandmaster. It is extraordinary."
"You flatter me, Fellow Daoist." Mei Yan smiled.
"However, we can't be too careless."
Ling Xian's tone changed as he frowned, "I have a feeling that there are stronger enemies hiding behind the scenes."
"I think so too. Though space pirates are lawless, they know who they can provoke and who they can't."
"The Star Boat is the symbol of the Mei Family. It often travels through the universe. There's no way the space pirates wouldn't recognize it."
"Yet they dared to attack us even though they know us. This proves that they came prepared."
Mei Yan's expression was cold and murderous.
"Let's wait and see. A few powerhouses at the peak of the seventh level still can't break through the Star Boat." Ling Xian faintly smiled and didn't say anything else.
Everyone maintained their silence as well. However, their eyes were glued to the image in midair.
As time went on, the battle became more and more intense. The eight space pirates were fighting with all their might as they attacked the Star Boat with all their might.
However, if they could break through the Star Boat, then it wouldn't live up to its name.
Though the Star Boat was shaking violently, it wasn't damaged and blocked all the attacks from the eight space pirates.
"Boss is right. The Mei Family's Star Boat sure is troublesome," a middle-aged man said.
"It doesn't matter how troublesome it is. Boss and Advisor will be here soon. Then, the Star Boat will be ours to use."
A young man licked his lips as he stared at the Star Boat passionately, "Of course, the most important thing is the young lady of the Mei Family. I heard that she's the most beautiful woman on Planet Bei Dou."
"Haha, we'll have some fun then threaten the Mei Family!"
The middle-aged man guffawed, which made the others smile as well.
Just then, two rays of light pierced through the sky. Then, a man and a woman appeared, their aura sweeping across the area.
It was a power that surpassed the seventh level. Compared to these two, the space pirates at the peak of the seventh level were like three-year-old children.
"Boss!" The middle-aged man's expression turned serious. Everyone else did the same.
Then, they cupped their hands towards the woman as a form of greeting.
"It really is the Mei Family's personal Star Boat. Even in the entire Mei Family, it's one of the best."
Looking at the beast-like Star Boat, the man's eyes flashed with greed.
Everyone on the boat, on the other hand, was worried.
As soon as the two of them appeared, the hall of the ship exploded. Everyone could tell that they were in the Eighth Realm, and their expressions changed.
Even Mei Yan Rou and Ling Xian's expression turned serious.
If there was only one eighth level cultivator, then the Star Boat and the array set by the grandmaster could defend against them. But if there were two, they wouldn't be able to defend.
"It's the Black and White Impermanence. No wonder they dared to target the Mei Clan." Mei Yan Rou frowned as she recognized the two.
"It looks like they are famous figures." Ling Xian squinted.
"They are companions and are both at the intermediate stage of the eighth level. When they work together, they are terrifying and are at the peak of the eighth level."
Mei Yan Rou's expression was serious, "Out of all the known space pirates, the Black and White Impermanence are one of the most terrifying beings."
"Close to the peak of the eighth level …"
Ling Xian's heart dropped. His golden armor was equivalent to the advanced stage of the eighth level. If he unleashes his full strength, he could match up to the peak of the eighth level.
But who will win will only be determined after a fight.
"Mei Clan's Miss, I know you are on the boat. Come on out."
The man's bright laughter was like a clap of thunder, resounding in everyone's ears.
Instantly, everyone's face turned white. Some of them even had blood seeping out of their mouths.
"They knew I was on the boat. It looks like this was planned."
Mei Yan Rou's expression turned cold. She waved her hand and opened the cabin door.
This action made everyone panic. Only when they saw that the array had covered the cabin door did they sigh in relief.
"You are just as the rumors say. You are so beautiful that even the moon and flowers would blush."
The man complimented. Then, he shifted his gaze towards everyone and his smile widened.
"Hehe, you are all fat sheep. If I kidnap you all, the ransom alone will make my hands go weak."
