"Teacher?"
Their unanimous challenge rang out like a demonic chant, striking directly at everyone's souls.
At that moment, not only the Navy soldiers, but even the Navy officers, froze in shock.
Following the gazes of the four uninvited guests who had just displayed such overwhelming might, the first person they saw was Uchiha Qin Yu.

Watching Qin Yu invite the four ruthless figures aboard with such certainty, the Navy soldiers and officers present could not help swallowing hard.
They had long heard rumors around
