The two disciples of the Xuan Huang Sect stood at the bow of the ship, their backs straight, exuding the demeanor of celestial sect disciples.
The disciple called Jin Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this. With a sly expression, he hurriedly flattered, "Senior Brother is truly wise. Such a large ship appearing while we are on duty is their misfortune. If we don't take a hefty sum from them, I am not Li Jin Yi."
The Senior Brother nodded, his face filled with pride. He waved his hand and said to the dozen or so Helmsmen behind him, "Brothers, row harder! The fat pig is right ahead, waving at us."
The Helmsmen were dressed quite ordinarily, likely the most basic kind, specifically tasked with hard labor. Hearing the Senior Brother's words, they could only row desperately, hoping that once they caught up with the large ship, they could share in the spoils.
The Senior Brother looked at the distance between his ship and the large ship and felt that their speed was still insufficient. He muttered to himself, "Those guys seem to want to evade capture. It looks like I need to use the treasures taught to me above."
On the large ship, Lu Chen and others were quite surprised by the actions of that vessel. They initially thought they could avoid it by changing their course, but ultimately, the other party still approached.
Especially since the other side clearly believed they had them at a disadvantage; if they didn't bleed a little, the other party would definitely not let it go. Lu Chen understood well the nature of such rogues.
Moreover, the large ship was equipped with Fire Thunder Cannons and other such items that couldn't be exposed. If they noticed something amiss, it would be hard to explain.
"What should we do, Lu Chen? Should we stop?" Princess Zhulan asked anxiously.
Lu Chen clicked his tongue and frowned. Whether to stop now depended entirely on his decision; behind the other party was the entire Xuan Huang Sect, which they could never hope to contend with.
"Ignore them and gradually accelerate to shake them off," Lu Chen said calmly, seemingly intending to use the powerful momentum of their large ship to outpace the disciples of the Xuan Huang Sect.
With that order given, both large ships began to slowly accelerate, moving further away from Yuanrong Immortal Island until even its shadow was no longer visible.
"Hmm? They seem to be accelerating as well; they're actually faster than us," Princess Zhulan remarked beside him.
Lu Chen took a closer look, and indeed, the situation was as he suspected. The other party seemed to be using some kind of talisman or magical artifact that greatly increased the ship's sailing speed, making it much faster than their large vessel.
"Order the Helmsman to raise the sails and proceed at full speed," Lu Chen commanded skillfully. If the other side was fast, then they needed to be even faster.
On the large ship, a row of openings slowly opened up along the hull, and lightweight yet massive wooden fish surged out in a line, vigorously slicing through the water.
On the deck, as the mechanisms controlling the sails operated, the sails gradually rose, and with a rumble, they quickly reached their peak.
At this moment, the large ship was operating at full speed with both manpower and mechanisms, cutting through the waves in the sea.
"These two ships are suspicious; how dare they openly resist? Senior Brother, should we report this to Master's Sect? We could send experts to surround them," Li Jin Yi suggested immediately upon seeing the strange situation.
The Senior Brother squinted his eyes at the two large ships ahead and nodded, "That's fine. Let's send more experts over and show these reckless people what we're capable of."
After a pause, the Senior Brother waved his hand and quickly added, "But hold on. Junior Brother, listen to me. If we capture these two large ships, there will surely be plenty of spoils. If we inform the other brothers about it, will there be any share left for us? It would be better for us to take a look first. If we find that we truly cannot defeat them, then we can notify Master's Sect. What do you think?" The Senior Brother asked tentatively.
Li Jin Yi found this reasoning sound and replied, "Alright. Senior Brother is indeed wise. Let's go take a look first and then make further plans."
With that, their ship quickly approached the large vessel using the power of the talisman, closing in within a hundred steps.
The Senior Brother stood at the bow of the ship and shouted loudly towards the other ship, "People on board, listen! You are now in the waters of Xuan Huang Sect. Quickly stop your ship and prepare for inspection."
His voice carried over, but there was no response from the large ship; it continued to move swiftly forward.
Seeing this, the Senior Brother became furious. He noticed many dark cannon ports along the edge of the large ship—definitely not a good sign.
Senior Brother suddenly drew the sword from his back, holding it in his hand and pointing it at the large ship, saying fiercely, "Who dares to ignore my warning? If you do not stop the ship, I will board forcefully."
"Ha ha ha, why bother? Why are you in such a hurry?" Suddenly, a young figure stepped out from the ship and stood on the edge, looking down at the Xuan Huang Sect's vessel.
Senior Brother was taken aback; the other party had taken so long to appear, clearly mocking him, and the tone of that young man's words was quite irritating.
"Hmm? Are you the owner of this ship? Quickly stop and submit to my inspection; otherwise, if you anger me, you will bear the consequences," Senior Brother said angrily, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
Lu Chen chuckled darkly and then disdainfully replied, "Hmph, what if I don't? What are you going to do about it?"
Senior Brother quietly observed the large ship. He noticed numerous cannon ports along its hull and immediately realized that these two ships were far more sinister than they appeared on the surface.
"Hmph, ignorant fool! I will return to report to Master's Sect right now. No matter where you escape to, you cannot evade the pursuit of Xuan Huang Sect," Senior Brother said viciously.
"Is that so? But since you've come here, do you still have a chance to go back?" Lu Chen replied coldly.
At that moment, a Sea Hook shot down from the large ship, piercing directly into its hull and dragging it towards the deep sea.
Seeing this, Senior Brother was both shocked and furious. He had intended to return and report first, sending more brothers to intercept these two large ships. He never expected that the other side would be so ruthless as to strike first.
The Sea Hook, which had shot down from the large ship, was connected by a rope. As the large ship moved forward, it could quickly drag their vessel along. The power of the large ship was simply beyond what they could resist; no number of Helmsman would be of any use.
Before those on board could react, a massive hand reached down from above the large ship like a demonic claw, glinting with a chilling light that obscured the sun—terrifying beyond measure.
Li Jin Yi and Senior Brother, relying on their agility, managed to dodge it; however, those Helmsman behind them were not so fortunate and were all captured and taken aboard the large ship.
As soon as the Helmsman boarded the ship, he was immediately surrounded and bound tightly. Everyone had a look of horror on their faces, trembling with fear to the extreme.
On the ship, after the Helmsman was captured, only Li Jin Yi and Senior Brother remained.
At this moment, they exchanged glances, both sensing that the situation was dire. They understood that they were in a dangerous predicament; the owners of these two large ships were not to be trifled with.
However, it was too late for realization. Before they could react, the ropes began to retract, forcibly pulling their ship towards the larger vessel. With the operation of the Winch, they were directly hoisted up, clearly being taken aboard.
Li Jin Yi let out a wail, regretting that it was too late. Without a ship, there was no way for them to return; they were left with only a dead end.
"Senior Brother, save me," Li Jin Yi turned to Senior Brother and said.
Senior Brother's expression hardened as he replied, "Junior Brother, I'm sorry. I can't save you right now. Please endure for a moment. I will return to Master's Sect to report the situation and then come back with help."
With that, Senior Brother took out a Talisman from his pocket and ignited it with Yang Yuan. He then leaped into the sea, disappearing amidst the rolling waves.
"Senior Brother! Senior Brother! Don't!" Li Jin Yi shouted twice, but the vast ocean offered no response.
At this point, their ship had been forcibly lifted onto the larger vessel. Naturally, someone came to capture Li Jin Yi as well. Without giving him much time, they bound him and imprisoned him alongside the other Helmsmen.
Lu Chen witnessed Senior Brother's escape and snorted coldly to himself, "A Breath-Holding Talisman won't save you. Do you really think you can escape from me with such tricks?"
Lu Chen soared into the air, pursuing the Senior Brother who had just jumped into the water. He unleashed his powerful grasp once more towards the swimming Senior Brother.
Lu Chen showed no mercy as he directly extracted this person's Yin Spirit, causing a separation of spirit and flesh. The flesh suffered in the water while the soul was exposed to the Golden Sunlight, enduring the burning of Sun True Fire.
Senior Brother was too malicious, showing no mercy to his fellow disciples, and was a cold-hearted person. Lu Chen hated such individuals the most.
Although this person was a disciple of the Xuan Huang Sect, he seemed to have never cultivated his soul, making him pitifully weak. Under the burning of Sun True Fire, he was reduced to ashes in just over ten breaths, without even a chance to plead for mercy.
As for his Flesh, Lu Chen intended to eradicate it completely, leaving no chance for exchange. He directly crushed it into meat paste with his capture technique and fed it to the fish in the sea.
As soon as the scent of blood appeared in the ocean, it quickly attracted schools of fish, including the most notorious sharks, which were extremely bloodthirsty. In just a few passes, they devoured Senior Brother's flesh and blood cleanly.
After completing all this, Lu Chen carefully checked the surroundings and returned to the big ship only after confirming that no one was around.
Now there were more than ten people on the ship, captured from it, including the Helmsman and a disciple named Li Jin Yi. They all looked terrified, fearing that if Lu Chen had a moment of displeasure, he would kill them.
As Lu Chen passed by them, just turning his head to glance made them tremble and feel a chill run down their spines.
These people were indeed troublesome. If he killed them directly, it would make him seem too cruel. If he let them go and returned the ship to them, they would inevitably report him once they got back, which could lead to trouble for him.
