The sea was boundless.
Jubao Pavilion's 13 ships rode the wind and waves.
They sailed in the direction of the Heavenly Purification Region.
On the main ship, Lin Ye was cultivating hard in his room. The time in the Ninefold Space was 16: 1 compared to the outside world. In other words, 16 days in the Ninefold Space was only 1 day in the outside world.
He had already made a plan for his cultivation.
One-fourth of the time to cultivate the Starry Sky Divine Art.
One-fourth of the time to cultivate the 3,000 Heavenly Dao.
One-fourth of the time to cultivate the Heaven-stage and Saint-stage martial techniques.
One-fourth of the time to cultivate the Divine Dragon Nine Transformations.
These were all life-saving methods that he relied on to survive.
The path of cultivation was like rowing a boat against the current. If one did not advance, one would fall behind.
Only by constantly advancing and improving faster than others would one not be left too far behind by those of the same level. In the Sky-sea Realm, he was already standing at the peak.
But in the Heavenly Purification Region, he had no advantage at all.
Therefore, he had to rely on his own hard work.
Unknowingly, a month passed.
The ship had already entered the center of the sea.
However, this area was very dangerous.
Only by passing through this area could one be considered to have passed the dangerous period. Merchant ships were most afraid of passing through this area.
This was because there were powerful pirates and sea beasts in this area.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Lin Ye was cultivating when he suddenly felt a terrifying roar. Even though he was separated by a restriction, he could still hear it. Even the huge ship started to shake as if it had encountered a shocking storm.
Soon, Lin Ye discovered something.
This was not caused by the storm.
It was a commotion caused by a battle between experts.
He activated his Divine Perception, and a majestic Divine Perception spread out.
Instantly, everything within a 50-kilometer radius with him as the center was imprinted in his mind. Everything outside could be seen clearly. It was indeed a battle between experts.
On his ship, Luo Bingyue and the other girls were also standing on the observation deck.
There were 2,000 experts on the 13 ships.
These experts were all at the Yin-Yang Realm, and there were countless at the Void Refinement Realm.
However, Murong Xiu was the only Creation Realm expert.
At this moment, the person fighting Murong Xiu was a middle-aged man with a big beard. The middle-aged man exuded a powerful aura, and every attack stirred the sky and sea.
He was a peerless expert at the second level of the Creation Realm.
More importantly, there were three Manifestation Realm experts on the pirate ship.
His cultivation was about the same as the bearded middle-aged man.
Lin Ye could not help but feel shocked when four Blessed Realm pirates and thousands of ordinary experts appeared all of a sudden. Since when did Blessed Realm pirates become so common?
However, these were Creation Realm experts.
Seriously.
He really didn't think much of it.
Putting aside the fact that he had the Dark Firmament Glass, he was confident that he could kill the four of them by himself.
Four Blessed Realm pirates had gathered together to rob a trading company.
Needless to say, the Jubao Pavilion's ship definitely had the goods that the pirates needed.
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan stopped cultivating.
He tidied up his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Brother Lin."
Seeing Lin Ye come out, Lingxi shouted happily.
Her small hand was already holding Lin Ye's arm.
Luo Bingyue and Murong Lingling nodded and greeted Lin Ye. Silent Soul bowed gracefully, looking extremely charming.
"We encountered pirates."
"The situation is not good."
Lin Ye walked to the observation deck of the ship and looked at the two Creation Realm experts fighting in the sky above the sea. He was curious. If the pirates wanted to rob the Jubao Pavilion's goods, they did not need four Creation Realm experts.
As he spoke, he glanced at Murong Cheng.
"Four Creation Realm experts."
"Although they are strong, they are still not Murong Xiu's match."
"Maybe they are here for Lingling."
Murong Cheng's expression was solemn.
But his tone was calm.
Although the pirates had four second-level Creation Realm experts, their true strength was still not Murong Xiu's match. Murong Xiu's strength was beyond his realm, and he was a member of the Murong family.
Whether it was the cultivation method or the martial arts technique that he cultivated, it was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
"They are here for Lingling?"
"Does anyone know that Lingling will return to the Heavenly Purification Territory on the ship?"
Lin Ye was puzzled.
Murong Lingling was unparalleled in beauty and was the Murong family's daughter.
However, the sea was boundless. How could the pirates know in advance that Murong Lingling would return to the Heavenly Purification Territory? Besides, were they not afraid of the Murong family's revenge if they kidnapped Murong Lingling?
"This area is the world of pirates."
"Even the Murong family can't do anything about it."
"They want to capture Lingling and blackmail the Murong family."
"But who leaked the news of Lingling's return?"
Murong Cheng was also puzzled.
Everything else made sense. The only thing that made sense was who leaked the news of Murong Lingling returning to the Heavenly Purification Territory. Moreover, this secret had already been leaked before Murong Lingling left the Sky-sea Realm.
"Rumble."
"Rumble."
In the sky above the sea, Murong Xiu and the middle-aged bearded man were fighting fiercely.
Although the middle-aged bearded man's cultivation was one level higher than Murong Xiu's, Murong Xiu was stronger than the middle-aged bearded man. He was even suppressing the latter.
"Murong Cheng, leave Miss Murong behind."
"Your ship can pass through here."
On the pirate ship, one of the Blessed Realm pirates spoke loudly.
His tone showed that he did not care about Jubao Pavilion's ship at all.
As expected, the pirates were here for Murong Lingling.
"Everyone, let's talk nicely."
"Since you know that we're from the Murong family, you should know some of the rules of Theta Scarabaei."
"Do you really want to be enemies with the Murong family?"
Murong Cheng stepped forward.
He shouted loudly.
First, they were talking nicely. Then, they brought up the Murong family.
Pirates would rob ships in the sea for the sake of cultivation resources. Unless they had no other choice, they would not go against a colossus like the Murong family.
This was also the key to Jubao Pavilion's safety in the sea all these years.
"Haha."
"The Murong family is indeed powerful."
"But that's the Heavenly Purification Territory."
"Old man, look carefully. This is the sea. No matter how powerful the Murong family is, they wouldn't dare to extend their hands here. Today, everyone on the ship will die. All of the goods will be left behind."
The pirate who spoke was a tall and big man.
His entire body exuded the domineering power of creation. Among the four Blessed Realm pirates, he was the strongest.
"Ignorant."
Murong Xiu spoke.
As he spoke, a saber appeared in his hand.
The saber slashed down fiercely.
Suddenly, the space was cut in half. An unparalleled destructive power bombarded the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was sent flying into the distance.
"You're courting death."
Murong Xiu severely injured the middle-aged man.
Two of the three Blessed Realm warriors on the pirate ship went up to Murong Xiu.
The other one flew toward the main ship.
When the pirate landed on the main ship, his eyes turned green when he saw Murong Lingling, Luo Bingyue, and the other two girls. He only knew that Murong Lingling was unparalleled.
