Nightfall.
A large ship was slowly leaving Yangguan City's harbor under the night sky, heading towards the ocean. The ship could hold up to a hundred people, and there were more than fifty people on board. Apart from the crew, the rest were the heavenly masters who were at the Chu Residence for a meeting.
They still went without any delay or change of plans.
The leader was the Chu Residence's heavenly master, Gao Dai. He was a mid-stage fifth-level heavenly master. There was another person on the same level as him, and the other two were early-stage fifth-level heavenly masters. The ship had just set sail, and most of the people were standing on the deck looking at the ocean. The ocean was not a city, and there were no lights at night. It was completely dark apart from the moonlight.
The harbor became smaller and smaller behind them, and finally disappeared completely. Just then, someone came to Gao Dai and asked worriedly, "Brother Gao, we're still going out to sea after what happened in the afternoon. Will something happen?"
Gao Dai looked at him, then at the ocean, and said in a low voice, "There will be danger, but it will be more dangerous if we don't set sail as soon as possible. I've already asked people to seal off all the harbors in Yangguan City, so they can't use any fast boats. If they want to send a message, they can only use small boats, and they won't be as fast as us. That's why we have to be faster. We have to find the pirates before they do, and kill them all! "
Hearing Gao Dai's words, the person nodded and felt slightly relieved. However, they had only been divided into groups, and had not really practiced working together. Once they started fighting, their effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
"Tell everyone to rest, and be prepared to face the enemy at any time," Gao Dai turned around and ordered.
"Yes!" The person left immediately.
Gao Dai looked ahead, his expression solemn. Actually, he did not want to set sail so early. He could have waited for a few days, and then changed his plan. If the two people today were really spies, they would be in too much danger.
Originally, he wanted to talk to the second-in-command, Chu Heng, but the second-in-command said that it could not be delayed. Every day they delayed would mean the Chu Residence's business would stop for a day, and the Chu Residence could not afford such a price. Since he had always been loyal to the Chu Residence, he could only agree and lead everyone to set sail for the ocean.
The previous two pirate missions had failed, and the Chu Residence had lost many experts, including those who had worked with him for many years. Now that it was his turn, he had no confidence at all.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but miss Chu Heng's elder brother, Chu Dongke. As the true master of the Chu Manor, Chu Dongke had not appeared for a long time. Even he had not seen him for at least three months. Four months ago, Chu Dongke had been summoned by the Prefecture Overseer to visit the King. This was a great blessing for the Chu Manor. But even the Prefecture Overseer had returned, but there was no news of Chu Dongke. This made him worried.
He had been wondering where Chu Dongke had gone. He even suspected that the second in command, Chu Heng, had colluded with the pirates to kill Chu Dongke. It had to be known that the fastest way to enter the Royal City was through the waterway, and there was a high chance of encountering pirates. However, the First Master's strength was very strong. He was at the peak of Level 5. Unless he encountered a Level 6 Celestial Master, at the very least, he should have no problem escaping.
Thinking of this, Gao Dai shook his head and didn't want to think about it anymore. He had been thinking about this matter for a long time, but he had no clue. Now that eliminating the pirates was the most important task, he had to put away his thoughts.
Pirates usually lived far from the coast, and it usually took at least three days of sailing to get there. He could only hope that nothing would happen.
The further the ship traveled, the lonelier it became. There was only one ship in the entire ocean. There were no other ships. Everyone was nervous. At the same time, a thousand feet above the ship, two figures were standing in the air.
It was none other than Lu An And Yao.
The two of them stood in the air, watching the ship slowly move forward. Just as they had expected, the Chu Manor didn't delay their journey because of them. This was truly strange.
"Husband, what should we do?" Yao Yao turned to Lu An and asked softly.
"Let's follow." Under the moonlight, Lu An frowned slightly. "If there really is a problem, the pirates will take the initiative to look for these people."
Yao Yao nodded and the two of them followed the ship in the air.
The night passed uneventfully. The next day, everyone came to the deck. Last night's safety made them feel slightly more at ease. Especially now that it was daytime, they didn't think anything would happen.
Sure enough, they weren't wrong. Nothing happened during the day. At night, when it was about a quarter to eleven, most of the people were resting in the cabin. Only the crew and a few Heavenly Masters were keeping watch on the deck.
The sea breeze was blowing, making people feel moist and cool. It was hot summer now, and everyone was very hot. Being able to feel such a comfortable sea breeze made people feel very comfortable and relaxed. A few Heavenly Masters closed their eyes and lay comfortably on the deck, drowsy.
At this time, three black spots appeared on the side of the ship.
These three ships were neither big nor small. They were taking advantage of the sea breeze to quickly approach the Chu Manor's ship. The crew was busy driving the ship. They also needed to take turns to rest. No one saw the scene on the left side of the ship. Especially tonight, there were many clouds in the sky, blocking most of the moonlight. The sea was much darker than last night, so no one noticed.
The three ships were getting closer and closer to the ship. From the beginning, they were six miles away, to three miles now, and then two miles, but no one noticed. When the three ships were less than one mile away from the ship, someone finally noticed.
This was when a crew member came out from the deck to take a breather. Otherwise, no one would have noticed even if the ship was right in front of them.
This crew member walked to the side of the ship and squinted his eyes to look forward. Under the dark night, he looked for a long time before confirming that his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. He immediately shouted, "Pirates! The pirates are here! "
With a shout, the few Heavenly Masters on the deck were shocked. They quickly got up from the ground and looked around. Their eyesight was much better than the ordinary crew members. When they saw the three ships so close, they sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly shouted, "Pirates, prepare to fight!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the Heavenly Masters quickly rushed out of the cabin. When they saw the pirates, the three ships were about to collide with their ship. One had to know that the pirate ship's bow was built very hard. Furthermore, the three ships had huge pointed bows. They would probably be able to make three holes in their ship!
"We can't let them collide!" Gao Dai quickly shouted, "Turn around!"
"It's too late!" The captain had also rushed to the deck and said with a look of despair, "They are faster than us. Our ship is bigger and we don't have time to turn around."
"…"
Gao Dai saw that the three ships were getting closer and closer. No matter what, he couldn't let this ship be destroyed. He quickly ordered the people around him, "Destroy their ship!"
After saying that, Gao Dai immediately rushed to the side of the ship. He took a deep breath and instantly struck out with his palms! As a Fire Elemental, he immediately shot out three powerful fireballs. Each of them had a diameter of more than two hundred feet. The compressed power was more concentrated and was enough to destroy the three ships directly!
However, when his fireball was halfway through its flight, the seawater suddenly surged violently, forming a huge wave in an instant. This wave was more than six hundred feet high and directly pressed down on the three fireballs!
Rumble!
The impact instantly exploded. The force of the fireballs' explosion blew the wave away, and the wave also successfully blocked Gao Dai's fireballs. The impact and the seawater rushed toward each other's ships. Even the ship that Gao Dai was on was almost overturned by the impact!
"Brother Gao, we can't fight like this. Otherwise, we won't have a ship!" A person quickly shouted to Gao Dai, "We have to fight them in close combat. It's best to take the initiative to attack them. Only then can we protect our ship!"
Gao Dai frowned. If they rushed over rashly, if there were any traps on the other ship, it would put everyone in danger. However, if they didn't go, their ship would really be hit.
"Brother Gao!" The person beside him urged again!
Gao Dai frowned, took a deep breath and said loudly, "Everyone, listen to my orders. Kill them!"
