"This guy is even more troublesome than I expected."
Xiao Yun's heart sank suddenly.
Eric survived the explosion of the Candle Dragon's Fury and tracked it down so quickly.
"To be corrupted by the power of death and still manage to establish a raiding group and reach this point is indeed not to be underestimated."
Xiao Yun's mind raced, and he made a decision in a short while.
A bottle of all-powerful recovery potion appeared in his hand, and he poured all his power into the Wind Ark, driving it at full speed.
However, no matter how hard Xiao Yun tried, the Wind Boat seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, moving slower than an old woman.
Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, and he immediately discovered the reason: "The surrounding space has been solidified by the alchemical array."
"What, Scholar Gu, don't you even recognize the stasis field that your Wuyou Township has newly developed?"
Eric, a cold smile on his lips, landed on the bow of a ship and met Xiao Yun's gaze through the barrier of the Wind Ship.
"Also, I've just contacted Wuyouxiang via a dark web connection. I believe your colleague will be joining you soon. It's best not to wander around at a time like this."
"Dark web dedicated line—this guy really went all out!"
Xiao Yun's face was ashen as he frantically searched for a solution.
Just then, an old figure walked in the moonlight, a slick and mercenary smile on his wrinkled face.
His eyes, narrowed to just a slit, were fixed on the Wind Boat, like a weasel eyeing a fat chicken.
As the controller of Blackrock Shipyard, Redmond was unaware of the inside story of everything before him.
But relying on his intuition honed over the years, he had keenly realized that this was an amazingly big business.
"It's actually a scholar from the Land of No Worries! I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"
Redmond bowed respectfully, gesturing for him to enter, but his greedy eyes remained fixed on the Windship.
"Please disembark, sir. I have already ordered people to prepare supper and lodging for you. I will do my best to be a good host."
As he spoke, other ships silently surrounded the Wind Ship.
The speculators gathered here grinned, revealing mouthfuls of yellow teeth, their eyes gleaming with ambition.
Although no one knew who this guy was, he had managed to get the Blood Shark Gang leader and the Blackrock Harbor manager to target him together.
However, it is an incredibly succulent and delicious steak!
"Even if I break this little blue boat into pieces and collect the materials, it'll be enough for me to live a carefree life for a long time!"
Many people hold this view.
"How pathetic! Even hyenas that eat carrion dare to bare their teeth at me."

Xiao Yun chuckled, put away the Wind Boat, and walked ashore.
In his eyes, a dim crimson-gold light flickered, and a terrifying killing intent flowed silently, instantly engulfing the entire dock.
Regardless of the outcome, he will absolutely not sit idly by and wait for his doom.
"Even if you die, you still have the chance to start over because of the title, and being in the public eye also provides a layer of cover."
Xiao Yun took a deep breath, and the white bone spider lily bloomed on his index finger, causing all the accumulated undead creatures to appear around him.
Sensing the intense aura of death and Xiao Yun's suffocating killing intent, those around him couldn't help but swallow hard and stagger backward.
Eric narrowed his eyes, a look of surprise and uncertainty flickering within them.
As someone who knew the inside story and had just been nearly killed in the explosion, he dared not underestimate the former legend before him.
If war breaks out, Xiao Yun may die, and everyone present will have to pay the price.
Eric felt an urge to back away, but immediately dismissed the thought.
However, things have already escalated to this point, and taking a step back won't solve the problem.
He had almost given everything he had in order to hand Xiao Yun over to Wuyou Township and receive his reward.
If Xiao Yun is allowed to escape, he will not only lose everything, but also lose his last chance to live, turning into a grotesque creature under the corrosive influence of death.
Eric lowered his head and sighed softly to himself.
"Truly a legend who ended death—"
Not only did he detect the messenger without revealing any information, but he also noticed it was being sent.
Even with the strength of an ordinary person, he, a seventh-sequence professional, was helpless and even forced into a dead end.
"But I'm not a coward either."
Eric's eyes flashed with a cold light as he revealed his full strength, confronting Xiao Yun head-on.
The atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly heavy, and a life-or-death battle was about to erupt.
Just then, at this critical moment, a charming laugh rang out: "Hehe, what's all the noise about in the middle of the night?"
Her graceful figure shattered the murderous intent that filled the room, and her voluptuous body, wrapped in a gold-plated robe, was alluringly beautiful in the moonlight.
In the past, when this beauty appeared on the streets of the harbor, even a half-paralyzed old man would sit up straight as a sign of respect.
It was not only because of her beauty, but also because of her identity as an alchemist.
But today, no one welcomes her arrival.
Eric frowned, and even the usually smooth-talking Redmond showed a hint of displeasure: "Ms. Mirror, it's impolite to come out at a time like this."
Everyone's about to fight to the death, and you just walk over like that, aren't you just causing trouble?
Across from him, Xiao Yun looked at that familiar, voluptuous figure with a complex expression.
"No way—"
Just then, Ms. Jing chuckled twice, looked around, and finally fixed her beautiful eyes on Xiao Yun.
"I'm protecting this person. Any objections?"
The scene was completely silent.
After a long silence, Redmond shook his head helplessly and looked at Eric: "Commander Eric, this is your guest, you decide."
Eric hesitated for a few seconds, and his imposing aura receded like a receding tide.
Then, he stepped aside and made his stance clear.
Ms. Jing nodded, and like a victor, she strolled up to Xiao Yun, smiling as she took his hand: "Come on, little man, come home with your sister."
Xiao Yun rolled her eyes at her, completely certain that she was Jing Feiwan.
But this time, he did not dodge the hot, delicate body that pressed against him.
The familiar feeling of being enveloped came from her arms, and Xiao Yun's tense mind suddenly relaxed. He let her take his arm and leave the dock.
The tense atmosphere had just turned sour, leaving the group looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What are you all standing there for? It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Go back to sleep now."

Redmond waved his hand, then looked at Eric with a smile: "Commander Eric, I recently acquired a batch of excellent wines, would you like to try some?"
"I couldn't have gotten it."
Eric nodded and left with him.
Soon, the two sat down on the sofa in Redmond's house.
Eric picked up the glass of red wine in front of him, took a sip, and almost spat it out: "It's worse than my wine. I'm telling you, old Hed, you're still as stingy as ever."
Redmond sneered and said, "Come on, stop acting. You know I didn't invite you here for drinks."
"Tell me, what exactly happened with that Scholar Gu just now?"
Eric was a smart man. From the moment he stepped into the harbor, he knew that he had no chance of taking this piece of meat for himself.
Therefore, he revealed Xiao Yun's identity and the wanted notice from Wuyou Township without reservation.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we seize it, we can both rise to the top!"
Eric's eyes revealed undisguised desire and ambition, and so did Redmond's across from him.
"We must keep him here at all costs!"
While the two were talking, inside Jing Feiwan's alchemy workshop.
The lights suddenly went out, and in the darkness, only those eyes, brimming with autumn water, reflected the moonlight.
Xiao Yun sighed softly, thinking that he was bound to face a calamity tonight.
However, instead of alluring panting, the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets filled the air.
"What are you standing there for? Come and help me pack my things."

Jing Feiwan grabbed a stick and smashed it on his head, her tone extremely serious: "We must run away immediately."
