Both of his legs were propped up on the table, and a black cloth covered one of his eyes. He held a dagger in one hand, and his hands were full of gold rings as he ate some fruit. The strangely dressed Peach and Aden were standing behind him, and Little Eight was massaging his shoulders. The Hunter from the Temple of Tai Mo, Gong Ke, was looking straight ahead, and he seemed to be the most normal person in the room.
Other than him, there were already several pirate leaders sitting around the table. They all looked ferocious and wary of each other. Some of them were familiar with each other and greeted each other.
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen such a handsome pirate?
Be careful, or our one-eyed pirate crew will wipe you out! "Peach glared at the pirates in front of her and threatened them ferociously.
There was a muscular man sitting across from Lu Yin, but he was one-legged. When he heard Peach's threat, his expression changed, and he glared at Lu Yin ferociously.
"If you still dare to look, you'll be poisoned to death!" Peach threatened again.
The people on the other side were furious, but Peach's appearance was quite bewitching. They could tell at a glance that she wasn't someone to be trifled with. It was obvious that she had something to do with poison.
However, Lu Yin was depressed. One-eyed Pirates?
He covered one eye and called himself the One Eye Pirate Crew?
This name was too embarrassing. Besides, didn't they already come up with a name?
They were called the Seventh Brother Pirate Crew. Forget it. Since they had already called it that, they couldn't change it.
The one-legged muscleman looked at Lu Yin with a fake smile. "One-eyed Pirates?
Brother, where did you get rich?
Why haven't I heard of it? "
"That's because you're ill-informed. Your eardrums are all muscles," Peach mocked.
The one-legged muscleman frowned and stared at Lu Yin, "Brother, don't tell me you're from the west."
"I've always been in the Modo Weave, and I've only recently connected to the outside world. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
The surrounding pirate groups fell silent upon hearing Lu Yin's words and looked at him in shock.
"Mordor Weave?
Brother, you dare to rob in the Hall of Tai Mo's territory? "The one-legged muscular man did not believe it.
Behind him, Peach pushed Gong Ke forward. "Use this action to prove that you robbed the Hall of Tai Mo."
Gong Ke was taken aback, and he was very reluctant. However, under Peach's fierce gaze, he retrieved a bow from his cosmic ring, which was engraved with the insignia of the Hall of Tai Mo.
Suddenly, the surrounding pirates sucked in a breath of cold air as they looked at Lu Yin's group with both admiration and bewilderment. This was a group that didn't care about their own lives, and they even dared to rob the Temple of Tai Mo.
"Brother, I admire you," the one-legged muscular man hurriedly said.
Peach was pleased with herself.
Lu Yin waved a hand. "It's nothing. Next time, we'll rob Zenyu Star."
The people around him were speechless, and they all looked at him as if he was an idiot. No one believed him. Robbing Zenyu Star?
What a joke. Even Aegis was terrified. Those assassins were much more ruthless than them.
The one-legged muscular man felt that this one-eyed pirate group was very unreliable. They might have some strength, but they were also a little simple-minded. He did not want to get involved with them.
It was the same for the others.
Lu Yin had successfully intimidated this group of people, but he was also worried that he would reveal too much and scare them to death.
Little Eight pinched Lu Yin even more enthusiastically. Boss was indeed the boss. His aura was awesome, and Little Eight had never been so impressive before.
More and more pirate groups arrived, and from time to time, there would be discussions among the pirate groups. Their gazes would sweep over Lu Yin's group, but no one spoke to them.
Pirates were very good at preserving their lives, and no one wanted to get involved with a group that even Zenyu Star and the Temple of Tai Mo wanted to rob.
Not long after, Little Eight whispered, "Boss, Qian Yan is here."
Lu Yin looked at the door, and the others followed suit.
A middle-aged man appeared in front of them. He wore a black felt hat, and the thick dark circles under his eyes made it seem like he was wearing smoky makeup. He had a mouthful of large golden teeth, and he wore a mess of rings on his hands. He wore slippers, and the most shocking thing was that he even had a cosmic ring on his toe that made a soft sound as he walked.
His walking posture was also very strange. How should one describe it? It was a little effeminate. His eyes swept over everyone as soon as he entered, and everyone felt as if his gaze had stopped on them, but it also felt like it had not.
This person was Qian Yan, one of the Outerverse's most powerful pirates. He worshipped the Pirate King and did things both righteously and evilly. If one were to talk about principles, then it would be that he would never kill the innocent. If one were to talk about principles, then it would be that he would steal from a child. In short, he was a very contradictory person.
The reason why he was called Qian Yan was because, according to Little Eight, he had spies all over the Outerverse. Sometimes, even the Amethyst Trading Company would look for him to verify information. He was a very powerful character.
Qian Yan smiled brilliantly, and his golden teeth glistened under the light. "Dear brothers and sisters, we meet again. I'm very happy to be alive to see all of you again."
Many of the pirates looked at Qian Yan solemnly. Even without the Pirate King's support, this person was still enough to strike fear into the hearts of all pirates.
Qian Yan walked step by step to the head of the long, tattered table and smiled at the crowd again. What followed was half an hour of boring chatter about the various weaves' pirate market. Some pirates even asked for information, but they were all misled by Qian Yan's jesting.
Lu Yin watched Qian Yan the entire time. This person was one of the few Hunters in Sheephead Harbor, and he was also one of the most powerful. Although his rune lines could not compare to Aden's, they surpassed Huo Qingshan's and the Blind Monk's rune lines. In the entire Great Yu Empire, Qian Yan could be ranked in the top five.
This was just what Lu Yin saw on the surface. Lu Yin believed that Qian Yan's ability to survive until now was definitely impressive, and he was not any worse than a top assassin.
"Boss Qian Yan, you should know the reason why we invited you to hold this meeting. The pirates from the western weaves have invaded our eastern weaves, and many of our brothers have been forced into a corner. Boss Qian Yan, please help us," one of the pirate leaders said impatiently.
The other pirate leaders all echoed his words.
Qian Yan smiled. "Are there any pirate groups from the western weaves?"
Everyone looked at each other. "No, those people are too arrogant. They didn't even dare to show up when Boss Qian Yan held a meeting. They didn't have the guts to do so in the past."
Qian Yan felt a headache coming on, and he rubbed his head. "Have you all thought about why they didn't dare to do so in the past?
They're also wantonly slaughtering the eastern weaves' pirates. Have you all thought about it?
More importantly, where did they get the strength to do so? "
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. This group of criminals couldn't even be shown in public.
Qian Yan continued, "This matter involves a lot of things, and it's not something that we can participate in. I, Qian Yan, would like to advise all of you to avoid it if you can. It's best if you don't force yourself, or else I won't be able to do anything."
"Could it be that even Boss Qian Yan can't suppress those bastards from the western weaves?" the one-legged muscleman asked unwillingly.
Qian Yan spread his hands and blew at his hair. "Congratulations, you're right. I can't suppress them."
Everyone began to discuss amongst themselves, and it was quite noisy.
"Boss Qian Yan, can you tell us your guess? Telling our brothers to retreat without saying anything is very difficult. You don't want our brothers to die, right?" Lu Yin spoke up and looked at Qian Yan.
Qian Yan's expression was conflicted.
The other pirate leaders at the table also spoke up, asking Qian Yan to say something.
Qian Yan helplessly replied, "I don't dare."
Everyone was confused.
"If he doesn't dare, then I'll do it." A voice rang out from outside, and a group of people pushed aside the pirates who were blocking the way and walked in. The leader was an old man with a face full of pockmarks, and behind him was a group of people who looked like pirates. There were about a dozen men and women, and they walked over to the table.
There was a thump, and the one-legged muscleman shouted, "Pockmarks, you still dare to come here? You slaughtered my Bard Weave's pirates! How should we settle this debt?"
"Ugly old woman, you slaughtered my Woori Weave's pirates and broke the rules. It's time to settle this debt."
…
Many pirates stood up and shouted angrily, and the surrounding pirates all surrounded the group, glaring at them with murderous intent.
The pockmarks old man sneered. "Take another step forward, and I'll kill you."
"What arrogance!" One of the pirate leaders stepped forward and grabbed at Pockmarks. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and the pirate leader clutched at his neck in pain as fresh blood flowed down his neck and dripped onto the ground. Everyone's expressions changed as they looked on in shock.
That pirate leader had been a Cruiser, but he had been killed by someone else. The attacker had to be a Hunter.
There were very few Hunters among the pirates.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. It was the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect again. Was this sword sect working together with Wei Rong and under his orders, or was it just this sword sect that had interfered with the pirate world?
The former was most likely the case, as the various weaves looked down on pirates. Only someone like Wei Rong was adept at using the various powers, and even pirates had some value in his eyes.
Pockmarks stepped on the dead pirate leader's body and scanned the crowd. "Is there anyone else who wants revenge?"
The surrounding pirates fell silent. A Hunter's attacks were like ghosts, and they were not people they could afford to provoke. Even if there were Hunters present, they were still extremely fearful of this expert from the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect.
"Pockmarks, this is Sheephead Harbor. It's not a place where you can show off," Qian Yan spoke up as he twirled a simple pistol between his fingers.
Pockmarks smiled. "Boss Qian Yan, you're well-informed and have a wide network. Everyone has always respected you, and the higher-ups have asked me to pass on a message to you. If we work together, you'll have a bright future ahead of you."
Qian Yan laughed. "Forget it. I'm just a small pirate, and I don't have much ambition. I just said that since you're playing around like this, then we can only retreat. In any case, I'm planning to retreat."
Pockmarks sneered. "You can retreat, but you have to hand over your information network."
The depths of Qian Yan's eyes turned cold, and his thick, dark circles shrank. "Pockmarks, I, Qian Yan, have been able to survive until now. I've been surrounded by various weaves, and I'm fine. Does the person behind you really think that they can force me?"
"Boss Qian Yan, just tell us who's behind Pockmarks. We've all lived our lives on the edge, and we've long since had enough. What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll go all out. It's better than being chased away like dogs," the one-legged muscleman shouted.
The surrounding pirates howled, and the Hunter directly reached out to grab Pockmarks.
Pockmarks was terrified, and he hurriedly retreated.
Space was suddenly sliced apart as a black blade slashed towards the Hunter realm pirate. At the same time, a petite figure appeared from behind Pockmarked. Her hands danced as star energy transformed into strange flowers that bloomed on the Hunter realm pirate's body.
The Hunter was simultaneously attacked by two powerhouses, and his body flickered as he tried to dodge. However, the star energy flowers exploded at the same time, and although they did not have any destructive power, the Hunter spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he had been injured, but the black blade had already descended upon him.
This was a well-coordinated killing intent, and even a Hunter could not block it.
