Storm Plunderers

In the Realm Sea, a gigantic flying vessel was surrounded by more than a dozen smaller ones.

Powerful energy beams shot continuously from the smaller vessels, pounding the larger one, but every blast was blocked by its energy shield.

The large vessel was, of course, Shen Fan's Cloud-Exiting. The ships surrounding it were all True Lord–level vessels, each flying a black flag emblazoned with a storm.

Any seasoned Realm Sea explorer who saw that black storm flag would recognize what it stood for at a glance—and turn pale with shock.

Because the flag belonged to a terrifying force: the Storm Plunderers!

Don't underestimate the Storm Plunderers just because they were a band of plunderers. In truth, they were powerful enough to contend with ordinary True Spirit Races!

At their peak, the Storm Plunderers had hundreds of thousands of members, including hundreds of True Lords and dozens of True Kings!

Their leader had even been a True Ancestor–level powerhouse!

If several True Spirit Races hadn't once joined forces and drawn upon their hidden reserves to wipe them out, severely slowing the Storm Plunderers' growth, the group's reputation would have been far greater by now.

Even so, in the Outer Sea of the Realm Sea, even powerful factions among the True Spirit Races dared not underestimate the Storm Plunderers!

Of course, the group Shen Fan had encountered was definitely not the Storm Plunderers' main force. Its strongest members were only a few peak True Lords—not a single True King among them!

The flying vessels they piloted looked fearsomely aggressive, but frankly, they could never threaten Cloud-Exiting.

After all, Cloud-Exiting was a True King–level flying vessel!

But Shen Fan wasn't the sort to take a beating without hitting back. They might not pose a threat, but having those True Lord–level vessels blocking him
