Slowly moving back, Jian Shen tried to make sure that Zheng Niu wasn't noticing his movements.
Going out of the room and then onto the deck, Jian Shen narrowed his eyes while looking in the direction that the ship was travelling in.
There was a ship which was heading straight towards them. And from the way he felt, Jian Shen was sure that it wasn't a coincidence but the opposite ship was deliberately heading towards them.
Further strengthening Jian Shen's opinion of this was from seeing the flag it was hoisting. A large green snaked was wrapped around a Dragon as it tried to drown it.
Who the hell thinks that a snake can drown a Dragon?
Chuckling while still remaining serious, Jian Shen flew off towards the ship while oblivious to Zheng Niu who had secretly followed him to see where he was going at such an hour.
...
"Hahahaha... Our luck seems pretty good, Boss. That ship should be one of those luxury cruises which are filled with all kinds of rich cultivators."
"I know. That's why I want all of you to kill or capture every single one the ship's passengers. Even if a single one of them escapes, it'll cause nothing but trouble to us in the future."
As a pirate group who dealt with such situations on a daily basis, the members of it knew about what would happen if any of them slip up and allow someone to escape.
What happened in the future when the relatives of those dead came was something else, those who ended up allowing the survivors to escape would be killed immediately by their boss making what happened in the future completely unnecessary to them.
That's why the Sea Snake pirate group led by Mo Qing always made sure to not leave a single survivor behind.
"Stop!"
Startled from the sudden order given by their boss, the subordinates immediately made their ship come to a halt while they started looking around to see what was happening.
Other than the luxury ship in the faraway distance which was only visible through a telescope, they couldn't see anything else around them.
But, all of them knew better than trying to question their boss who's emotions would get stirred very easily.
"Coming here so daringly, you must either be here for revenge or from that ship over there."
Flying forward while listening to those words which he heard from so far away, Jian Shen finally answered when he had arrived in front of the ship.
'Genesis Realm... '
"I'm from that ship."
"If the strongest one they could find was a Sage Realm Cultivator, taking over this ship should be easier than I expected."
Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, "For a Genesis Cultivator like you, it wouldn't be hard to capture this ship which only has Saint Realm Cultivators on it."
Narrowing his eyes, Mo Qing felt that something was off about this boy who was flying in front of him.
As a Sage Realm Cultivator, even if he had met other Genesis Realm Cultivators, the boy in front of him shouldn't have been able to figure out that he was in the Genesis Realm.
This only meant that his strength was either too strong for a Sage Realm Cultivator, or he had fought against someone in the Genesis Realm who fought back with holding back.
Either of those situations wasn't something good for Mo Qing.
"What are you trying to say? Do you want me to give up on that big and fat piece of meat? That's never going to happen."
Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, "You can do whatever you want with that shop and everyone on it, I only need this ship to take someone with me and leave."
"Hehehehehe, you're here to make a deal with me? But why should I accept this deal? What benefits would I obtain from accepting this deal? I'd only end up losing a ship when I could possess two ships after conquering that one."
"Because you won't be alive if you don't accept my proposal."
With those words, Jian Shen unleashed all of his strength without holding back in the slightest.
The very instant, a huge pressure descended in everyone on the pirate shop while huge gales of wind also assaulted then and pushed those few weak pirates back.
'This brat... His strength rivals Genesis Realm Cultivators while he is still in the Sage Realm! He must be from the Sword Island...'
Gritting his teeth from this unexpected variable, Mo Qing wasn't worried about losing to Jian Shen, but to the ones that were behind him.
With how many weird tricks those in the Sword Island possessed, they'd definitely find out that it was him who killed the boy.
And when they did, they'd definitely find him and try to kill him.
Due to how strong Jian Shen was, Mo Qing wouldn't be surprised if there was the hand of a False Immortal Realm Cultivator in training him.
This meant that the one who'd come to kill him would be a False Immortal Cultivator.
No matter how strong Mo Qing considered himself, he wasn't an idiot to think that he was capable of defeating a False Immortal Cultivator.
Still... Given how big and luxurious the ship he set his sights on was, Mo Qing just couldn't bring himself to forget about it and move on.
That's when he remembered why he chose that image for the flag.
Even a Dragon cannot defeat a local snake in its own domain!!!
"Sorry brat, but you'll need to try and defeat me if you want to stop me."
