Qian Yan took action and raised his gun to fire a shot. The bullet just happened to hit the black blade's edge, causing it to deviate and save the Hunter realm pirate.
The black blade disappeared, and a moment later, screams rang out as the surrounding pirates were slaughtered.
Qian Yan's eyes darted around as he stood in place and quietly scanned his surroundings.
The petite Hunter continued to attack the Hunter realm pirate. Her attacks seemed gentle, like blooming flowers, but the Hunter realm pirate found it difficult to resist. Lu Yin frowned.
The Umbral Butterfly Tribe and the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect … There was no mistaking it. Wei Rong must have taken action, as only he had the ability to unite these two weaves' powers.
Suddenly, the black blade tore through the void and swept towards Qian Yan. Qian Yan had not moved, and he had allowed the pirates to be slaughtered. Blood flowed out like a river, and now, it was finally his turn.
The black blade swept past, but Qian Yan still did not move. However, the blade pierced through his body and killed the one-legged muscleman who had been hiding behind him.
The muscleman was very shrewd, and he had instigated the other pirates to attack while he hid himself. However, he still could not escape death.
Qian Yan's abnormal behavior surprised the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect's experts, and the blade continued to slash out. Slash after slash pierced through the void and headed for outer space. Sheep Head Harbor instantly panicked, and countless pirates fled.
However, it was not that easy for them to escape. The western weaves' pirates had already surrounded Sheep Head Harbor, and there were also experts from the Umbral Butterfly Tribe and the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect. Today, they had thought that the eastern weaves' pirates would band together to demand an explanation, but instead, they had been caught like turtles in a jar. If nothing unexpected happened, none of these pirates would be able to leave alive.
Pockmarked was excited, but the pirate leaders behind him were even more excited. Although they now had a new master, their authority had greatly increased.
Pockmarked licked his lips as he listened to the pirates' screams. Did these idiots really think that they could contend against a certain group of people?
A single word from those people could wipe them all out. They did not know how to adapt to circumstances.
Eh?
What's up with those people?
Pockmarked saw an eyesore, and the group of five quietly watched. They did not try to block the attack, but they did not try to escape either. That shorty in particular, what was with that excited look in his eyes?
Was he also from their side?
As he thought about it, Pockmarked hooked his finger at the leader, beckoning for him to come over.
Lu Yin raised his brows. Was that old man trying to seduce him?
"Your Highness, he's seducing you." Peach was excited.
"Seventh Bro, there's an old man who's trying to seduce you." The monkey laughed strangely.
Lu Yin looked at Pockmarked. "What's up?"
Pockmarked was taken aback. This person's expression was completely different from his surroundings. It was as if he had left this space. The contempt in his eyes was especially blatant, as if he was watching a show.
Pockmarked was infuriated, and he waved his hand for the pirates behind him to join in the slaughter, focusing their attacks on Lu Yin's group.
Lu Yin did not move, but Peach excitedly rushed out. Now that she had resolved the Hall of Tai Mo's internal conflict, she had begun to let loose a little. Everyone else had been slaughtered, killed, and sunk into despair, but she was laughing happily as she wandered around the battlefield, leaving behind afterimages. This was Flash, and in theory, there was no upper limit to its speed. Lu Yin had guessed that this was an inheritance from the Yu bloodline, and with his physical body, his speed could tear through the void. This was not the void from the beginning, but rather the current void after the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated.
Peach's joyous laughter shocked Pockmarked Zi and made him furious. She was looking down on him. In the next moment, he attacked.
Pockmarked Zi was also a Hunter, but he had just broken through. He was old and did not want to fight, but Peach was truly detestable, especially with her mouth full of yellow teeth. She was truly disgusting.
Peach was not afraid of Pockmarked Zi, but Gong Ke was displeased. A mere pirate had actually dared to attack the young master of the Hall of Tai Mo. Gong Ke thought about it and nocked an arrow. An indescribable force shot into space, causing everyone to feel a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, whether it was Pockmarked Zi, Qian Yan, or the experts from the Phantom Sword Sect and the Umbral Butterfly Tribe, they all looked at Gong Ke in shock. This power was too terrifying.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Gong Ke's power level was only around 130,000, which was far from Aden, Yan Yan, and the others. However, the power of this archery technique could not be underestimated. This arrow was enough to make a peak Hunter vigilant, and aside from Qian Yan, no one else could block it.
The bowstring trembled, and Gong Ke did not do anything. Pockmarked Zi's eyes bulged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood along with his heart. He slowly collapsed to the ground, dead.
That arrow had been shot, but almost no one had seen it.
This was the battle technique of the Hall of Tai Mo, an archery technique that had been passed down since ancient times and had been comprehended from those three arrows.
Gong Ke was arrogant and looked down on everyone.
Qian Yan carefully retreated a few steps.
All of the pirates were frightened.
That black blade did not appear again, and the petite Hunter from the Umbral Butterfly Tribe did not attack again. Instead, she slowly retreated, clearly afraid of Gong Ke.
"Um, if I'm not wrong, that's the Hall of Tai Mo's archery technique." Qian Yan flashed a brilliant smile, revealing his golden teeth. His smile was full of flattery.
When the three words "Hall of Tai Mo" were mentioned, all of the pirates retreated. Many of them looked at Lu Yin's group strangely. Hadn't they robbed the Hall of Tai Mo before?
Had they robbed them of their battle technique as well?
Were they stupid?
No, they were from the Hall of Tai Mo.
The Hunter from the Umbral Butterfly Tribe did not hesitate to flee.
"Catch her!" Peach shouted.
Gong Ke raised his bow and fired another arrow. This time, many people saw that Gong Ke had not fired a real arrow, but rather an arrow formed from star energy. The arrow pierced through the void, leaving the Hunter with no way to avoid it. She could only take it head-on.
Blood blossomed from the Hunter's back. Gong Ke's arrow had pierced through her, and her body crashed into a pile of white bones.
On the other side, Lu Yin flicked his finger and sent a figure flying out from a corner. A black blade flashed as countless attacks rained down on the figure. Aden stepped forward and blocked the attacks with his thunder shield. He then charged forward and punched out. There was a thump as Aden's fist collided with the black blade, causing it to crack apart. Aden's punch tore through the void and sent a figure flying out of the void, crashing into the ground.
Two Hunters were instantly heavily injured, but Gong Ke and Aden had only been able to attack once.
The difference between the Umbral Butterfly Tribe and the Hall of Tai Mo was too great, and the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect and Aden were similarly far apart. In the entire Ghost Shadow Sword Sect, only the Gemini Ghosts were qualified to exchange blows with Aden.
All of the pirates stared blankly, as this was a completely one-sided battle. Where did these people come from? Were they really from the Hall of Tai Mo?
They were so terrifying.
Little Eight raised his head with a smug look on his face. A bunch of ants deserved to end up like this in front of the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Master. Little Eight licked his lips and bent down to massage Lu Yin's shoulders.
Lu Yin naturally sat down at the main seat at the long table and waved his hand to disperse the other pirates, leaving behind Qian Yan and a few other Hunters.
"I really want to know what exactly you know." Lu Yin placed his legs on the table and looked at Qian Yan curiously.
Qian Yan smiled, and his golden teeth dazzled everyone once again. "I don't know, not at all. Right, I'm planning to withdraw from the pirate world. If this brother wants my information network, that's easy. I'll give it to you."
Lu Yin was amused, and he pointed at Pockmarked Man's corpse. "Who's behind him?"
Qian Yan immediately shook his head. "I don't know."
Aden calmly walked behind Qian Yan and looked at him.
Qian Yan's lips curled up, and he looked at Lu Yin with a fawning expression. "Brother, why do you need fugitives like us to be cannon fodder in a battle between big shots like you? We're just pirates who want to make a living. If you don't want us to stay in the surrounding weaves, then we'll just leave. We definitely won't cause any trouble for you."
"Why? Do you know who I am?" Lu Yin asked.
Qian Yan sighed. "I don't, but I know this brother behind you. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the newly appointed captain of the Great Yu Empire's Fourth Imperial Squadron, Aden. He's one of the few Hunters who can fight against an Enlighter. You can only have one identity to have him as a follower: the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader, Lu Yin."
Lu Yin nodded and removed the black cloth from his face, revealing his true appearance. "Smart. You know Aden, so Qian Yan's nickname is not for nothing. You also know who's behind the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect?"
Qian Yan sighed. "It should be Armament Weave's Wei Rong. He's been very active in the central weaves recently, and he has a close relationship with the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect and the Umbral Butterfly Tribe. There's even a rumor that he's about to marry the Umbral Butterfly Tribe's young matriarch, Angie."
"Wei Rong used pirates to infiltrate the Great Eastern Alliance. That was the right move, but unfortunately, his luck wasn't good. Guess what I want to do?" Lu Yin grinned at Qian Yan.
Qian Yan blinked and smiled fawningly. "Actually, I have a dream. Once I've saved up enough money, I'll go home and become a landlord."
"Sure, Armament Weave it is. I'll give you a piece of land," Lu Yin said straightforwardly.
Qian Yan was speechless, and he begged, "Alliance Master Lu, you're all top figures in the Outerverse, and a single word from you can influence countless people. Why do you need to care about pirates like us?"
Lu Yin tapped his finger on the table. "Everyone has their own uses, and I don't know how to use them. I just didn't think of it. Now that I've thought of it, I'm just lacking a suitable person to help me. I think you're not bad."
Qian Yan replied, "I won't get involved in your affairs, or else I'll easily die."
"If you don't agree, then you'll die right now," Lu Yin said casually.
Qian Yan laughed. "Alliance Master Lu, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but if I, Qian Yan, want to leave, no one can stop me. At worst, I'll just be a fugitive in the universe, but it's still better than being a sacrificial lamb for you."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Try it. If you can escape, then I'll consider you amazing."
Qian Yan stared at Lu Yin, as if trying to discern something from Lu Yin's eyes.
Lu Yin stared back at him, his eyes filled with confidence.
Little Myna swallowed his saliva. Looking at the great pirate leader that he once revered bowing to him, he felt a sense of exaltation. Although he was only a small pirate, who asked him to follow the right person?
After a while, Qian Yan became dejected and begged again, "Alliance Master Lu, I'll give you all of my information network, alright?
Wei Rong just wants my information network. "
Lu Yin waved a hand. "Everyone, leave."
Everyone felt that this was strange, but they did not hesitate and left one by one.
Lu Yin blocked the sound barrier and looked at Qian Yan. "Do you admire the Pirate King a lot?"
Qian Yan nodded. "The Pirate King is the idol of all pirates. It's not just me, but many other pirates revere him. We pirates are looked down upon by others, but he forcibly supported the pirates. If not for the Pirate King, then our survival would have been much more difficult." He then glanced at Lu Yin in dissatisfaction. "If the Innerverse and Outerverse weren't separated, then Wei Rong wouldn't have dared to force me like this."
