When Bai Ran received Gu Ding's call, he thought Gu Ding had run into some problem with alchemy and cheerfully answered the communicator.
But when he heard Gu Ding say that he had received word that two to four Emperor Realm powerhouses would attack him, Bai Ran was shocked and furious at the same time.
"I understand. Don't enter the Similia Universe yet. Find somewhere to hide, and wait for my notification after I make the arrangements."
Afterward, Bai Ran contacted several Imperial Clans and several family heads, telling them about Gu Ding's situation. Even the Gu Family received a call from Bai Ran.
The Gu Family was the most surprised by the news, because they had clearly withdrawn the kill order. Yet Bai Ran's furious expression clearly was not an act. They also secretly wondered whether some other force intended to make a move against Gu Ding.
After receiving Bai Ran's message, the Imperial Clan's Di Family, the Asdero Family, the Moon God Family, and four of the Twelve Great Top Noble Clans—the Qian Family, Eichner Family, Tiro Family, and Delphi Family—sent a total of seven Emperor Realm powerhouses who agreed to protect the Gu Ding Pirate Crew. Some had already arrived in the Similia Universe, while others were close to arriving.
After arranging everything, Bai Ran contacted Gu Ding again. He told him about his arrangements and had Gu Ding's group hide for five days. After five days, they could enter the Similia Universe.
Having received Bai Ran's reply, Gu Ding and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Angelina also received word from the True King Hall's master that his avatar should arrive within three or four days.
That meant eight Emperor Realm powerhouses would be protecting them, putting Gu Ding's group much more at ease.
