Chapter 153: Coming Out

  The willow-leaf boat was only four or five meters long, and on each boat stood three or four pirates. These pirates had dark skin, bare upper bodies, and tattoos of various monsters and skulls on their bodies.

  On the twelve lotus-leaf boats, there were thirty or so pirates. Most of these pirates were at the Human King level, with some in the Innate Realm. Three pirates were even at the Hundred Calamity First Heaven level.

  Pirates holding knives, forks and clubs, hehe sneered, quickly surrounded Linda's ship.

  The surrounding area is full of hidden reefs, and Linda's ship is slightly larger, making it less convenient to navigate.

  But these willow-leaf boats, because of their slender and narrow shape, are extremely agile, darting in and out of the dark reefs like a spirit snake.

  The reefs here not only did not hinder them but also seemed like their natural barrier.

  The first one was a big man with a full beard, bare-chested, muscles bulging in blocks, his body covered in eerie tattoos, holding a huge black wolf-toothed club, cackling all the way.

  On the large Han's willow-leaf boat, a brocade flag was erected, and on the brocade flag, an eye with bloodstains was embroidered. The brocade flag fluttered in the sea breeze, and the eye with bloodstains seemed to be blinking, looking very fierce and terrifying.

  Linda didn't care at first, but when she saw that brocade flag, her pretty face suddenly changed, and she shouted: "You are the 'Blood Pupil' of the Black Water Sea?"

  "Haha, nice to meet you, beautiful lady. Since you've heard of our Blood Pupil, things will be much easier now." The big man with the whiskers laughed loudly.

  Kamon, Jie Te and others heard that these pirates were actually the pirate forces "Blood Pupil" from the Black Water Sea Domain, and they all changed color in shock.

  Kamon, who had previously spoken recklessly, furrowed his brow even deeper, his expression heavy.

  Xue Tong was first active in the Black Water Sea, never talking about rules, even the ships of Tianchi Sacred Land, Lingbao Cave Heaven and Shengling Sect dared to rob. Xue Tong's actions were outrageous, eventually provoking the extermination of the three major forces in the Black Water Sea. Unable to stay in the Black Water Sea, they began to wander into other seas.

  After the Blood Eye Fleet moved to other waters, they still acted extravagantly. As long as they caught an opportunity, the ships of the Fifteen Great Powers would plunder without hesitation. Once they found it was not good, they immediately escaped to other waters, with no fixed residence.

  In the endless sea, the Blood Eye is the most troublesome force of the pirate forces and also the most headache for the 15 major forces.

  So when they heard that these people were from Bloodshot, neither Kamon nor Linda looked comfortable, realizing the situation was not good.

  "We are the people of the Three Gods Sect, and we have nothing to do with your Blood Glare Sect. Are you daring to provoke us?" Huo Jie's face was cold, "It seems that our Three Gods Sect has never encircled you, so it's best if you don't stir up trouble. Is it necessary to offend our Three Gods Sect for some worthless materials?"

  "Haha, as long as we wipe you all out, how would the Three Gods Sect know it was us who did it?" The big man with a thick beard laughed wildly, looking at Kamen with disdain, saying: "You little brat, didn't you just say 'come and kill as many as you can'?"

  Kamon's face turned ugly and he let out a cold snort.

  "What do you want?" Linda stepped forward, her eyebrows deeply furrowed: "There are only some stones on the boat, is it really worth your fuss?"

  "Beautiful lady, come with us for a trip. My big brother's legs are not convenient, and he wants to do business with you. If the deal is successful, we won't do anything to you, and maybe we'll even give you some gifts. How about it?" The bearded big man had a smile all over his face.

  "Linda, don't go," Jetted out involuntarily, "Blood Pupil has a terrible reputation, who knows what sinister intentions they have."

  "Haha, beauty, what do you say? The deal is done, we can leave safely, otherwise... haha!" said the big man with a mustache.

  "Okay, I'll go take a look." Linda hesitated for a moment before suddenly nodding in agreement.

  "Linda, I'll go with you." Kamon's face changed, and at the critical moment, he didn't back down, saying: "The two of us together can take care of each other to some extent."

  "You can't go." The burly man with the whiskers sneered, shaking his head. "A guy like you would only cause trouble if he went. You'd better stay on the boat and behave yourself."

  "Linda, let's take a walk." Just then, Shi Yan appeared from the corner without anyone noticing and stood shoulder to shoulder with Linda, his expression indifferent.

  Kamon, Hodge, Jett and others looked at Shi Yan with a surprised and strange expression.

  "What are you up to, kid?" Kamen's face immediately darkened and he coldly snorted.

  "Shi Yan, what are you doing?" Jie Tuo also shouted, "What can you possibly help with? What do you want to do?"

  Shi Yan ignored these few people and looked at Linda with a calm smile, "Can you take me over?"

  Linda's eyes were complex, her face changing from cloudy to sunny, and after a brief moment, she nodded slightly and looked at the man with the sideburns, saying: "I'm bringing someone along, do you mind?"

  Luo Yan furrowed his brow and nodded after glancing at Shi Yan a few times: "Alright."

  "Alright." Linda gave Shi Yan a glance, "You come with me."

  "Uh-huh."

  "Come, board our ship, there are too many hidden reefs here, your boat is too restricted. The bearded man yelled, a small willow leaf-shaped boat quickly came up, and another warrior from the hundred calamities on the boat coldly said: "Hurry up and get on the boat, don't waste my brother's time."

  Linda didn't hesitate, and with a leap, she landed steadily on the willow leaf boat. Shi Yan's face was calm, and he also jumped down after Linda, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

  "Brothers, leave half of you to watch them." Lao Hu shouted loudly, and immediately said: "Kong Lao Er, let's go."

  The big Han on the stone rock boat nodded, urging the two sea bandits beside him to set sail. The willow leaf boat navigated through the hidden reefs, heading quickly to the left.

  Before long, a forty-meter iron ship suddenly appeared in Shiyan's line of sight.

  On the iron ship, a brocade flag with a blood-red eye was hung. On the deck, a refined and courteous white-faced middle-aged man sat in a wheelchair, his eyes narrowed into slits, a smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. His two legs were cut off from the knees down, indeed having difficulty walking.

  This white-faced middle-aged man has the cultivation of the Three Realms of Hundred Calamities, with thick and pure essence in his body. However, both legs are broken, and his strength should be greatly discounted.

  Behind him, more than twenty blood pupils pirates were mostly in the human position, innate realm, each with a majestic physique and a fierce appearance.

  "Go up." As the willow leaf boat was about to dock next to that iron ship, a cold and ruthless pirate known as Kong Lao Er gave a chilly order to Shi Yan and the other.

  Shi Yan and Linda both remained silent as they climbed up the rope ladder onto the deck.

  "I am Lin Xiaochang, it's a pleasure to have you both here. It brings me great joy." The crippled pirate with the pale face and a hint of a smile on his lips, sitting in his wheelchair, nodded slightly and asked: "Are you two outer disciples of the San Shen Sect?"

  "Hmm." Linda nodded and furrowed her brow, saying: "I don't know what business you have with us, sir. What is it that you want to discuss?"

  "You should be delivering the cargo on the ship to the island of the Gu family, right?" Lin Xiaochang smiled and said with a calm tone, "We want to add some things to your ship, hoping that you can hand these things over to the Gu family people together, how about it?"

  "Add something?" Linda was surprised, "What thing?"

  "Do you really want to know?" Lin Xiao often frowned.

  "Must know."

  "Alright then, we'd like to add crates of explosives on your ship." Lin Xiaochang smiled slightly, "What do you gentlemen think?"

  "You want to take on Gu Jia?" Linda shouted.

  "Not bad." Lin Xiao nodded, his expression suddenly turning gloomy. "The Gu family didn't let us off lightly, we need to teach them a lesson. You just follow our orders and deliver the explosives to the Gu family. Once you leave, we'll detonate the explosives and everyone in the Gu family who received the goods will be killed. Don't worry, no one will know it was your fault for delivering the goods."

  "No way." Linda shook her head, "There are rules to follow, our Three Gods Sect and the Gu family have an alliance relationship, I won't harm the Gu family. There's no wall that doesn't leak, if this matter is exposed, not only will we be killed by the Three Gods Sect, but our families will also be implicated, I absolutely won't help you."

  "Is there no room for negotiation?" Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and lowered his head to take another sip of tea.

  "This is absolutely impossible!" Linda said firmly.

  "You disagree, it doesn't mean others disagree." Lin Xiao often raised his head, but this time he didn't look at Linda, instead gazing at Shi Yan, "Little brother, as long as you nod, we can take care of this woman. Then we'll support you as the leader on the ship, as long as you help us deliver the goods to Gu's family, how about it?"

  "I'd be happy to help you deal with Gu Jia." Shi Yan smiled calmly.

  Linda's face changed, and she glared at Shi Yan with hatred, shouting: "You white-eyed wolf!"

  "Alright, alright!" Lin Xiao was in a good mood and nodded at the whiskered man and Kong Lao'er, saying: "This kid is useless, capture him, you few go have some fun together, then dispose of him directly."

  "Alright, big brother. Hehe, I'll savor the taste of this little girl for a while." Luan Hu's mustache twitched with laughter as he and Kong Lao'er slowly closed in on Linda.

  These two, like Linda, are in a desperate situation. There are still dozens of pirates on the ship who have been there since birth, and with Lin Xiaochang around, Linda fears she can't escape.

  "Do you think he can convince everyone?" Linda sneered coldly, glaring at Shi Yan, "He's not even one of us from the Three Gods Sect! If he takes charge, the Gu family people won't acknowledge him. The sailors on the ship won't accept his leadership either, you're all just wasting your time."

  Lin Xiao Chang was taken aback and smiled at Shi Yan, "Little brother, can't you handle those sailors?"

  "I alone can't handle it, but with your help, I think we can do it." Shi Yan smiled, "Those who know the times are heroes, I don't want to die, I know what to do."

  "Hmm, promising. Lin Xiao Chang leaned back in his wheelchair, stretched and yawned, "Hey, little brother, if you're interested in this chick, you can try her out later, but you have to wait for my two brothers to go first. Hmm, letting you be the third one with her, is that giving you enough face?"

  "Thank you." Shi Yan bowed his head and thanked him, but his eyes were icy cold, with a flash of murderous intent in his gaze.

  He came with Linda to use these people's lives to restore his own power, although he also wanted to deal with the Gu family, but the top priority was to recover his internal strength as soon as possible.

  He secretly calculated and estimated that the strange power formed by these people's deaths should be enough for him to recover.
