443: Concession

Now, there was one thing they had to Face: they had encountered "Air Pirates."

This was a term Jiang Ning had come up with, corresponding to "pirates."

They had run into a robbery.

This group did not take the Lin Family seriously; clearly, they had some backing.

Nor did they take the entire boat of Cultivators seriously.

Because that one-eyed, burly general was a Cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Deity Transformation Realm.

Everyone was gathered on the deck.

Looking at the heads neatly arranged on the ground.

Among them was the servant Jiang Ning was familiar with.

Since the other party wasn't an accomplice, it meant that even the Lin Family members themselves hadn't discovered the dangers hidden on this spirit boat.

Another head belonged to the person in charge of this spirit boat, who had a cultivation of Nascent Soul Perfection.

It was precisely this head that made the group abandon their plan to band together.

The one-eyed man's subordinates surrounded the group of Cultivators.

Jiang Ning always felt that hijacking a boat in the cultivation world was a very risky and unsafe act.

It wasn't like Earth; boarding a plane or subway required security checks, and the probability of encountering undercover police with firearms or "kung fu masters" on a bus was almost zero.

A spirit boat didn't need that; you could board as long as you paid.

This system created many uncertain factors, like right now.

It could allow many experts to hide themselves.

Wasn't this one-eyed man afraid that while hijacking the boat, a Great Cultivator might be hiding on board and kill him instantly?

The one-eyed man could silently kill a manager at Nascent Soul Perfection, so his cultivation wouldn't be lower than Soul Transformation.

Although it wasn't easy to encounter Cultivators above Soul Transformation on this kind of spirit boat, there was still a certain probability.

Unless this one-eyed man had other things to rely on.

Jiang Ning looked around and found that there was another "private spirit boat" closely following this one.

The one-eyed man laughed loudly: "Everyone, falling into my hands is also fate. Who knows, we might even be family in the future. Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."

"Of course, I will still kill those who don't follow the rules."

"I came here because I want to take everyone to a certain place. Just take a good rest on the spirit boat."

"Don't think about running. We've already left the patrol range of the Great Qian Imperial City's Golden Scale Guards. No one is coming to save you."

Shen Jinhuan pulled Jiang Ning closer to her.

Someone didn't believe the one-eyed man's words and tried to escape through some means.

As soon as he exited the air wall, the man was overjoyed.

He fell rapidly toward the ground.

Surrounded by forests and hills, there was a high probability of escaping by using the terrain below.

On the spirit boat, everyone watched the one-eyed man's reaction.

If the one-eyed man didn't show any superb skills, they would also display their own Divine Abilities.

The one-eyed man laughed loudly.

"I knew his movements long ago. I let him out on purpose; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fly off the spirit boat."

Some Cultivators didn't believe him, thinking the one-eyed man was just making excuses for himself.

Until the one-eyed man took out the control hub of the spirit boat.

A mechanical "click" sounded in their ears.

A Spiritual Qi Cannon appeared on the spirit boat.

The one-eyed man aimed at the Cultivator who thought he had survived the disaster.

He said, "I'm not a very good shot, so please bear with me!"

After speaking, there was a loud boom, making everyone's bodies tremble.

A beam of light one meter in diameter instantly enveloped the escaping Cultivator.

The pillar of Spiritual Qi disappeared, and the Cultivator was gone too.

"Hahahaha, refreshing!"

The one-eyed man looked at the crowd. "Is there anyone else who wants to escape? I haven't had enough fun yet; I want to fire a few more shots."

This Spiritual Qi Cannon was the most lethal thing on the spirit boat besides the manager; at full power, it could heavily injure a Cultivator at Nascent Soul Perfection.

No one dared to speak.

In the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you are a person of standing even in small cities and won't lack Spirit Stones.

A private space spirit boat is a symbol of wealth and strength in Great Qian.

A private spirit boat clearly was not.

It was also because of this that the one-eyed man and his group dared to hijack the Lin Family's spirit boat.

If one were to actually investigate the cultivation levels of the Cultivators on this spirit boat, they would be surprised to find that, besides Jiang Ning and his companion, the highest was only an Early Nascent Soul Stage.

The one-eyed man was very arrogant.

He was sure he had this boatload of people under his thumb.

Jiang Ning stepped forward at this time and cupped his hands.

"Please enlighten me."

Shen Jinhuan also stood up.

The one-eyed man was stunned; logically speaking, no one should have dared to come forward at this time.

Killing that Cultivator just now was meant to serve as a warning to the others.

Now that someone wasn't following the script, it made him lose a lot of Face.

But with so many people watching, it wasn't easy for him to go back on his word.

He concluded that since this woman and Child were talking nonsense with him here, their cultivation must be inferior to his, and they were just gambling for a chance.

If their cultivation were high, they would have killed him long ago.

The one-eyed man smiled and said, "A Child and a beauty, quite bold. The Child doesn't matter, but beauty, with your looks, honestly, I can't bear to let you die."

"How about this, I'll give you a chance."

"I won't use the Spiritual Qi Cannon."

"I'll let you off the boat and give you three breaths of time to escape. After three breaths, I'll personally come after you."

"If I catch you, beauty, you'll be my wife. As for the Child... the Child's limbs will be broken to make a human swine, to be kept as a curiosity!"

Jiang Ning smiled.

This one-eyed man, he would definitely kill.

Shen Jinhuan frowned slightly.

The one-eyed man seemed careless, but he didn't actually look down on her and Jiang Ning.

He knew that anyone who could stand up at this time must have some tricks. The Spiritual Qi Cannon was powerful, but it clearly wasn't suitable for dealing with the two of them.

While he called it giving them a chance, for the one-eyed man, it was actually the best arrangement that didn't involve losing Face.

The one-eyed man waved his hand.

"Open a gap for them!"

Jiang Ning and Shen Jinhuan suddenly disappeared.

The one-eyed man was still being overconfident. If it were Jiang Ning, he would have gone back on his word immediately.

Jiang Ning first put Shen Jinhuan into the Small World, then utilized the Space Law.

The one-eyed man stood frozen in place.

He didn't even know how the woman and Child had gotten off the spirit boat.

The one-eyed man cursed.

He didn't even wait for three breaths and hurriedly jumped off the spirit boat.

Seeing this, the other Cultivators began to have other thoughts.

But the accomplices on the spirit boat were not easy to deal with either.

The Cultivators waited for their fellow travelers to make a move so they could escape in the chaos.

But as it happened, not a single Cultivator moved.

Having used the Space Law and gained the upper hand, how could Jiang Ning be found by the one-eyed man?

He constantly stepped on spatial nodes, shuttling through them rapidly.

Then, the dao leaf touched the ground and went deep into the earth through a crack.

The one-eyed man was covered in sweat.

He closed his eyes.

What came to his ears was the sound of the wind.

Leaves falling from trees, every slight sound reached his ears.

Yet, he couldn't hear the voices of that woman and Child at all.

The one-eyed man panicked.

He looked at the small spirit boat following the Lin Family's spirit boat, wondering if he should make a run for it now.
