Chapter 307 - The Voyage

Translator:?Nyoi-Bo Studio??Editor:?Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was getting increasingly difficult to recruit sailors nowadays.

Even if sailors were recruited, they were not the strong ones. The good strong ones had been recruited by the bigger and more powerful ships.

This woman’s name was Wan Linlin. She was the captain of this ship, the Golden Sun.

To be precise, this was not her ship. It was left behind by her father. Unfortunately, until now, she had not managed to accomplish much with the ship.

Back when it was in her father’s hands, this ship was a nightmare for many pirates. Even the pirates in the nearby waters did not dare to touch it.

Now that the Golden Sun was in her hands, it did not shine as bright as it did.

This was not something that could be helped. If she did not manage to recruit strong crew members, she would not be able to travel securely and confidently at sea. If she could not travel unimpeded, she would not be able to make money. If she could not make money, she would not be able to pay a high price to recruit experts. It was a vicious cycle.

Moreover, the operation of the ship required a huge amount of spirit stones. If she were to encounter pirates on this trip, it would be equivalent to a wasted trip, and she wouldn’t be able to earn any money at all. She would suffer a huge loss if she were to make a wasted trip.

Wan Linlin could not bear such an outcome.

However, there was nothing she could do about it if she did not set sail. Only she knew the bitterness in her heart.

At this moment, a person ran to her ear and whispered a few words.

Xuan Yi was quite far away, so he could not hear clearly. However, Xuan Yi’s hearing was pretty good, so he could vaguely hear the words ‘Yue family’.

“What?!”

Wan Linlin was shocked.

“What did you say?!”

She seemed to realize that her reaction was inappropriate for a captain, so she whispered again, “The Yue family was annihilated?”

That person nodded repeatedly.

After receiving this answer, Wan Linlin’s expression tensed up for a moment before she suddenly relaxed.

“Good riddance.”

The Yue family had been committing crimes in the entire sea region for many years.

With the Yue family wiped out, Wan Linlin initially thought it was very likely that their businesses would collapse. But on second thought, there were so many powers in the entire sea region, so how could they let these businesses collapse? It was expected in a few days, they would be completely devoured.

Thinking of this, Wan Linlin’s face flushed red.

She used to owe a lot of money to the Yue family, but now these debts were gone.

How could this not make her happy?

Seeing this, Lin Xuan asked, “Has the Yue family been destroyed?”

Wan Linlin nodded. “That’s great!”

After tidying up everything, she set sail.

This ship carried a total of a hundred tons of goods. Although the ship wasn’t big, it was very heavy due to the spiritual essence.

This time, Wan Linlin had put her life on the line and spent all her money on this.

Just this batch of goods alone cost tens of millions of spirit stones.

The ship slowly moved forward like a huge mountain moving on the surface of the sea, gradually increasing its speed.

After the Yue family was destroyed, Wan Linlin was excited for a long time.

A portion of the goods were on credit to the Yue family, they had to bear a huge amount of interest too.

Now that the Yue family was destroyed, there was no need to pay it back.

But she couldn’t figure out who had destroyed the Yue family. It was said to be one person, but who in the entire sea region had the ability to destroy the Yue family?

Wan Linlin couldn’t figure it out.

She couldn’t help but worry about the voyage again.

If she encountered pirates, even without the debts from the Yue family, it would be a devastating blow to her.

She couldn’t help but think that it would be great, if this peerless expert was on her ship.

At least she wouldn’t have to worry about pirates anymore, as they would be able to kill whatever the number of pirates that came along.

This kind of worry continued for several days.

After sailing for hundreds of nautical miles, the ship suddenly stopped.

Wan Linlin was nervous and immediately ran out to check.

It turned out to be a big fish in the sea.

Not only Wan Linlin, but everyone on the ship was shocked by the collision.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that it wasn’t a pirate, but a fish.

“Luckily, it’s just a fish.”

“That scared me to death!”

“I thought it was a pirate.”

Although they were all recruited crew members, some were guards and some were ship operators.

No matter who they were, no one wanted to meet a pirate. Pirates were simply too terrifying.

If the pirates were to rob the goods, they would have returned empty-handed.

However, there were still many pirates who did not only rob the goods, but also people. The men were killed, the women were taken to satisfy their desires and then killed.

The rampancy of pirates was deeply imprinted in their minds.

They were very happy that they did not meet any pirates.

However, this happiness only lasted for less than two breaths before someone saw a huge ship in the distance sailing towards them.

Most importantly, the ship had a flag that looked like a skeleton.

“Pirates!”

A cry of surprise made all the crew members break out in cold sweat.

“It’s the pirates from the Skeleton Gang!”

Pirates were also classified by strength. The Skeleton Gang was a famous pirate gang in the modern era, and there were many powerful warriors among them.

Their appearance made Wan Linlin’s face turn pale.

“It’s over!”

If it was an ordinary pirate, Wan Linlin might still have a glimmer of hope. However, this Skeleton Gang had a Sage Realm expert overseeing it. There were even two peak-stage Sect Master Realm experts on each pirate ship.

Such strength was not something Wan Linlin could resist.

Currently, on this ship, Wan Linlin was at the intermediate stage of the Sect Master Realm while Lin Xuan was at the peak-stage of the Sect Master Realm.

However, other than that, the rest were all at the Law Enforcement Realm.

Perhaps she and Lin Xuan could stop the two peak-stage Sect Master Realm experts on the pirate ship, but how would they deal with the other pirates?

How would they deal with the other pirates?

Who would deal with them? Who was also at the Sect Master Realm?

Facing such a situation, there was simply no possibility of fighting.

“Run!”

Wan Linlin smiled bitterly. “Where can we run to? Can we run away?”

The pirate ship had sufficient resources and was much faster than them.

If they stayed obediently, there might still be a chance. However, if they ran away and angered the entire pirate ship, the outcome would be hard to say. They might even be killed by the pirates.

Wan Linlin’s face was pale. As she watched the pirate ship slowly approach, a hint of despair flashed across her eyes.

“Why don’t the two of us leave?”

Lin Xuan stood up and said at this moment.

Wan Linlin naturally understood the meaning behind Lin Xuan’s words. However, she knew that even if they escaped, what could they do? Yiyang City had nothing and they had left behind so many crew members.

Without her around, these crew members would most likely be killed.
