Twilight Speaker

Chapter 168 Sea Raiders

The view from the top deck of the Donghong envoy ship is superb, with nothing blocking the view of the sea.

"It's getting late."

Wei Shun lazily sat on the deck chair and said jokingly:
"Xiao Qi, this is the last glimmer of your life. I think you should enjoy it and cherish it. The Golden City is not far away. These are the last few days."

"enough!"

Wei Wu glanced sideways and snorted coldly:

"Wei Shun, enough is enough!"

"Hey, Fifth Brother is angry? The other four brothers and sisters didn't say anything, why are you so eager to jump out?"

Wei Shun sneered twice and raised his chin towards Wei Wu in a very provocative manner. The latter's eyes twitched slightly, as if he was angry. Wei Qingqiu on the side held Wei Wu's hand and shook his head at him.

As for the other four princes, they turned a deaf ear to all this and closed their eyes to rest and recuperate.

Although the four of them and Wei Wu and his two companions were brothers and sisters, they seldom talked to each other as the generation gap was too great.

Apart from other things, the youngest of the four, Wei Bu San, is already over a thousand years old.
Age is not a big deal; the most important thing is the difference in life levels. The four of them who have lived for thousands of years have already stepped onto the ladder to godhood and are in the category of pseudo-gods. Wei Datou, the eldest sister, has already entered the middle third level.

In this way, one can be called a giant.

Wei Shun stood up shakily at this time, turned his head, scanned the sea around him, and then focused his eyes on the rear.

As a wise man, he himself had extremely strong eyesight, and he could see clearly as if he were looking at fire. He could vaguely see a huge ship following him from a distance dozens of miles away.

"There's a ship following us? I suspect they have some bad intentions."

Wei Shun's face showed excitement, his eyes flickered, and he instructed the servants waiting beside him:
"Notify the captain to use the super heavy artillery to bomb the ship behind us!"

The attendant did not dare to disobey and responded respectfully. When he was about to report, the second elder with narrowed eyes said indifferently:
"Don't make things complicated."

The attendant paused.

"Second brother!"

Wei Shun smiled and said:

"It's no big deal to blow up a ship with bad intentions. Well, looking at those ants wailing, screaming, despairing, and watching the blood spreading on the sea, you can imagine what a wonderful picture it is."

After a pause, he looked at the attendant and said without question:
“Not fast yet”

Before he finished speaking, the second brother drooped his eyelids:
"It's up to you, but I can smell that there is a false god on that ship. The smell is rather mottled, with the stench of the deep void and the fragrance of the abyss. If you anger a false god, no one will cover for you."

After a pause, he slowly raised his eyelids:

"Even if the false god came to kill you, we would just watch quietly."

Wei Shun's expression froze, and he became uncertain. After a while, he snorted coldly:
"False God."

He suddenly drew his sword and cut the servant's throat, and blood gushed out:

"Disobedient bug!"

After wiping the blood off his face, Wei Shun lay back in his chair leisurely, closed his eyes and rested without saying a word.

The servant's body fell heavily to the ground at this time. Wei Tuantuan covered his mouth, his face pale. Wei Qingqiu glanced at Wei Shun coldly, stood up, closed the servant's eyes, and sighed softly.

………………

The sun had completely set, the Red and White February had risen, and there was still singing and dancing on the Golden.

"Old Chen!"

After Chu Lu vomited, he was full of energy again and came over with a wine glass:

"Why are you still here alone? I've introduced you to Wang Muyu, the first and second most handsome man on our ship, and you didn't catch on?"

Chen Xiang laughed a little:

"Well, I also prefer quietness. It's nice to be alone, enjoying the sea breeze and looking at the moon."

"What are you saying?" Chu Lu said with a smile: "Fine wine and beautiful women, you are here alone admiring the moon, hey, I'm not saying anything bad about you..."

He nudged Chen Xiang with his elbow and lowered his voice:
"Old Chen, you are not in trouble, are you? Don't worry, I know the formula of an extraordinary potion, the effect is terrifying, I will come back to you..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Lu shuddered violently. It was his own weak spiritual power that stabbed him fiercely, as if it was a spontaneous warning.

He was totally unaware and muttered:

"Why is it so cold all of a sudden? It's true. The temperature drops too quickly at night at sea. The temperature difference is huge. Lao Chen, shall I get you a prescription?"

Chen Xiang rubbed his forehead helplessly, but he didn't feel offended, he just said unhappily:
"Okay, I don't need that stuff. I just talked to Wang Muyu and learned something. Nine out of ten nobles on this ship are fighting for the family property, right? You'd better be careful. The deep sea is dark and the brothers and sisters of some noble sons might take risks."

What he said was not empty talk. He could sense that there were little guys at the angel level or even the pseudo-god level hiding in the dark and following the Golden Ship with malicious intentions.

Chu Lu was stunned:
"That shouldn't be the case, right? Who would have the audacity to attack us? The young masters and young ladies above are almost equivalent to half of the nobles and wealthy families in the capital. Hey, even the prince on the ship in front would not dare to touch us easily!"

"What are you talking about?" Wang Muyu also came over with a glass of wine, a faint smile on his face:
"I seemed to see Bishop Lu just now. She seemed to be flying into the sky?"

"Huh?" Chu Lu was surprised and subconsciously looked at Chen Xiang, but saw Chen Xiang shrugged:

"Maybe he went to deal with the assassins sent by one of your brothers and sisters?"

Chu Lu blinked:
"impossible."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a scream. He glanced sideways and saw ripples in the air not far from the Golden Ship. A huge bloody corpse emerged from the void, fell, and crashed into the sea, causing waves.

More than one.

Seven or eight corpses with auras like the abyss of the sea fell one after another, and a powerful being with divine power fled into the distance.
The indifferent bishop also appeared in the air, wiped the blood off his hands, and walked slowly and gracefully through the air, returning to the cabin.

The noble men and ladies holding their wine glasses on the deck looked at each other in bewilderment and fell silent. After a long while, someone spoke in a low voice:
"I seemed to see my housekeeper, the one whose head was chopped off."

"I also vaguely saw one of the family's worshippers bleeding and falling into the sea."

Chu Lu's face turned pale, and Wang Muyu drank the wine in the cup and pointed at the powerful being who escaped:
"Well, if I'm not mistaken, he should be my father's deputy, the second-in-command of our Wang family. Haha."

Her face was expressionless.

Chen Xiang yawned:
"Well, it seems that there are quite a few people who want to take risks, right, Old Chu?"

Chu Lu moved his lips, his expression was very serious:

"I also saw my eldest sister's tutor, a messenger of heaven. Damn it, are these people crazy? There are more than a hundred nobles on the Gold! They represent a hundred big families!!"

Chen Xiang said happily:
"It also means there are at least a hundred people who are eyeing you covetously. Old Chu, you are quite courageous, aren't you?"

Chu Lu scratched his head:
"I thought too little before. Fortunately, Brother Chen, you are here, otherwise there would be no Bishop Lu."

He smiled bitterly twice:

"With the eight extraordinary heavy cannons on the ship, they can stop saints, but they will be doomed if they meet big shots at the level of angels. Brother Chen, I owe you a favor, a huge favor."

Wang Muyu showed some interest:

"Old Chu, from what you said, that bishop has some relationship with Chen Xiang?"

Chu Lu scratched his head:
"Well, Mu Yu, you'd better not ask too much. Just keep it to yourself and don't spread it outside. I think Brother Chen is more low-key."

Chen Xiang nodded slightly, and Wang Muyu was tactful enough not to ask any more questions, but just said:

"Old Chu, what about you? It's impossible that you didn't trip up your two brothers and sisters at home, right?"

Chu Lu laughed twice:
"I did use some tricks, but I didn't try to kill them. After all, they are my elder brother and second sister. It's just..."

He sighed softly:
"I held back, but my relative didn't hold back at all on me."

"Okay, that's all."

Wang Muyu patted Chu Lu's shoulder to comfort him. Chen Xiang lit a cigarette and exhaled the swirling smoke while saying:
"I guess it's not over yet. This should be just the beginning. But Lao Chu, since you let me take this ship, if nothing else, I will at least ensure that you arrive at the Golden City safely."

Chu Lu didn't think much about it and nodded gratefully. When he was about to say something, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a hood walking towards him quickly.

Chen Xiang's expression froze. He put out his cigarette and stood up straight.

"problem occurs."

Primitive Fear, wearing a hood and posing as a middle-aged man, walked over and spoke in a low voice:
"I smell the scent of dog-skin plaster. The old ghost has discovered me and may be approaching now."

Dog skin plaster?

Wang Muyu and Chu Lu looked at each other in surprise.

Chen Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Is it the captain? Well, I want to meet him, too. What did you do to make him chase you so relentlessly? If it's not too serious, I will try to mediate between you two."

Primal Fear was silent for a moment, and did not seem to intend to explain, but turned and said:

"In any case, it's better to be careful. The sea is the home turf of that dog-skin plaster. It's very difficult to deal with him. The main thing is that he might attract a lot of attention and disrupt your plans. I'll go back and prepare. The dog-skin plaster should be here in the next two days."

After saying this, He pulled up his hood and walked away quickly.
Chu Lu on the side couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Chen, is there any trouble? What is the dog-skin plaster that gentleman mentioned?"

Wang Muyu also cast a curious look.

Chen Xiang frowned slightly:

"It's most likely a very difficult guy, but it shouldn't be a big deal. I will try my best to handle it smoothly so as not to affect the voyage."

Chu Lu was thoughtful, thinking that Chen Xiang had encountered a similar situation as them, and it was related to the struggle at home. He patted Chen Xiang on the shoulder:

"With Bishop Lu here, there's a high probability that nothing will happen. Besides, there's an envoy ship ahead. Even if there are attackers, they won't dare to make too much noise, otherwise they'll anger the real big shots on the ship."

Chen Xiang touched his nose and smiled bitterly:
"Maybe, but you still."

Before he finished speaking, his spirit gave a slight warning and he looked into the distance with a frown.

On the distant horizon, the moonlight was dim, a storm was approaching, and a very faint scent of danger could be smelled.
