The captain’s expression changed, and his tone was low as he asked, “Dare I ask who is boarding my ship?”
Under everyone’s attention, a figure gradually became clear. “Arcadian Arrow Crew, do you want to join my Leon’s Armada?”
The captain became very on edge the moment he saw who was on the deck of his battleship. “Reuben.”
It was indeed Uncle Reuben from Big Sis’s mercenaries.
Uncle Reuben stared at the captain of the Arcadian Arrow Crew. “Have you thought it through yet? Our boss is getting impatient. Or perhaps do you hope to have Big Sis come out to talk to you?”
Sweat poured from the captain’s forehead. He looked fierce, but it was nothing more than an act. Fear had caused him to carry Lu Yin across the Cosmic Sea, and when confronted with Reuben and the terrifying Big Sis, the captain was terribly frightened.
Hai Dalu stepped forward. “Brother Reuben, we’re here to deliver Alliance Leader Lu.”
Reuben did not seem to hear the first mate, and he continued to stare at the captain.
The expressions of the nearby crew members all turned ugly, as none of them knew what was about to happen. Were they going to be forced to join Leon’s Armada?
Hai Dalu glanced over at Lu Yin for some help.
Lu Yin smiled. “Uncle Reuben, let it go for today. You can discuss this later. Besides, there’s no place for them to run in the Cosmic Sea.”
Uncle Reuben finally looked away and turned his attention to Lu Yin. As he did, the man’s cold eyes were filled with warmth. “You’re alright. Boss has been very worried about you.”
“Let’s go,” Lu Yin said.
Uncle Reuben then completely ignored everyone from the Arcadian Arrow Crew. He stepped away and returned to the warship from Leon’s Armada.
Lu Yin turned around to smile at the entire Arcadian Arrow Crew. “I’ve troubled you to bring me this far.”
He then faced Hai Dalu and gave the man a long look. “Goodbye, until fate lets us meet again.”
Lu Yin then also stepped out and disappeared.
As soon as Lu Yin and Uncle Reuben were gone, the captain felt a rush of relief, and he ordered, “Let’s go back.”
He had absolutely no desire to see Highsage Leon. The Pirate King was a domineering person, and if that man asked the Arcadian Arrow Crew to join Leon’s Armada, there would be no way for the captain to refuse his request.
Hai Dalu’s mood was quite complicated at this moment. Based on what Reuben had said, it sounded like it was just a matter of time until the Arcadian Arrow Crew joined Leon’s Armada. However, this did not actually matter to Hai Dalu, as he had realized that he was destined to be used by Lu Yin the moment that he had revealed his connection to the Hidden Earth Society.
Truly, there was some matter of fate between Lu Yin and the Hidden Earth Society.
The warship that belonged to Leon’s Armada was even larger than the Soldier Crew’s warship that Lu Yin had seen. The moment Lu Yin stepped aboard the warship, everyone stared at him with respect and excitement.
Everyone on the entire warship knew exactly who Lu Yin was and all that he had accomplished. In fact, he was in some ways regarded as the prince of Leon’s Armada.
Thump!
There was a loud noise, and the red rain was pushed back across the sky. The upside-down sea shook, and everyone felt their hearts skip a beat. They looked towards the warship of Leon’s Armada that had suddenly seemed to become the center of the universe.
Lu Yin looked up. That sound had come from Highsage Leon’s massive sword. As the thump rang out, an invisible force accompanied it. This force was the unparalleled, domineering strength of Highsage Leon. This was not battle force, domain, or spiritual force, but rather an indomitable spirit that had developed over the many years that Highsage Leon had trained in the Overlord’s Slash.
This force could even cause the average Envoy to tremble. Highsage Leon did not cultivate anything else, as his Overlord’s Slash was enough for him to face off against even Ji Qiang and Jin Mie at the same time. This technique had allowed him to dominate the Cosmic Sea and had impressed even Liu Ye and Fei Hua. This was the power that had allowed Highsage Leon to suppress the universe’s pirates until none of them dared to not follow him.
Lu Yin paused for a moment as this oppressive aura swept by, and then he just smiled and continued forward.
Thump!
There was another loud noise, and this one sounded like lightning falling from the sky and blasting the earth open. Everyone who heard it felt their hearts stop as their breathing stifled. Lu Yin looked up and took another step. As his foot descended, he exerted the Overlaying Stacks Path, which produced its own deafening sound. As that sound spread out, everyone who had found themselves unable to breath caught their breaths again.
Everyone grew pale as they tried to catch their breath. Just what was going on? Had Highsage Leon gone crazy? Was he about to kill everyone?
Even the members of Leon’s Armada were afraid at this moment. If any more time had passed, they wondered if they would have died of heart failure.
Suddenly, the crew members started looking at Lu Yin not only with admiration, but also with adoration. Lu Yin had allowed them to recover, and in their eyes, saved them.
Suddenly, a massive figure shot out from a cabin. A massive blade was hefted and swept out to point straight at Lu Yin.
The young man’s pupils shrank to pinpricks, and he created a sword from his star energy that he swept up from down below.
There was a tremendous ringing sound as the two blades struck each other. The warship became the epicenter of a shockwave that erupted in all directions and shattered the void like broken glass.
Every single black line that appeared avoided every person and object. Despite the horrifying shockwave, not a single person was affected.
Everyone rapidly fell back as they looked over in terror. This was not a fight that they could approach, as this was an Envoys’ battlefield. The only person in Leon’s Armada who might be able to join this particular battle was Liu Feng, the captain of the Lightning Sword Regiment, but even he would most likely be injured, so he retreated with everyone else.
Lu Yin was only an Enlighter, but despite that, he was actually able to stand up to Highsage Leon!?
However, the crew members were overthinking things. It was impossible for Lu Yin to be strong enough to stand up to Highsage Leon. Highsage Leon was simply trying to reinforce Lu Yin’s reputation in the armada. Their hierarchy was based on strength, and Highsage Leon was trying to tell everyone that Lu Yin was the second strongest person in the entire armada.
The red rain disappeared from the sky, and the heavens grew clear once more.
An exasperated voice called out of a cabin, “You almost killed me! Do you really think that just anyone can stand up to that big sword of yours?”
Big Sis was speaking up. She emerged from the cabin as she spoke. At this moment, she had the appearance of a charming and elegant beauty, though her mouth was still as crude as ever.
Lu Yin stared blankly. He had no idea if he should dismiss his sword or not.
Highsage Leon spun his saber around to point it at Lu Yin’s sword briefly before putting the blade away. “I know, I know!”
Big Sis angrily glared at the man before turning onto Lu Yin. “Little Seven, are you threatening your Big Sis?”
Lu Yin was startled at her question, and he quickly dissipated his sword and put on an ingratiating smile. “Big Sis! Your face! You’re beautiful again! Congratulations! When will this be done with?”
“Knock it off!” Big Sis moved over in front of Lu Yin and grabbed him. “Have you become cocky lately, even going against a Semi-Progenitor?”
Lu Yin grinned. “Nope! I got attacked.”
“A Semi-Progenitor felt the need to attack you?”
