Ch. 261Setting sail: Captain Haider's secret to years without a single bad review
Tang Si exposed Captain Haider as a pirate aboard the Sea Demon Ship and stopped him with his Divine Slaughter's Domain. After Haider begged for mercy and promised to reform, Tang Si let him go, leaving the others confused by his leniency.
- Tang Si learned Hu Liena had brought Xie Yue and Yan to Vast Sea City and agreed to take them to Sea God Island, despite warning that its trials were dangerous.
- Tang Si privately reflected that Bibi Dong likely considered him an ally and planned to give her a granddisciple.
- The group boarded the Sea Demon Ship, and Tang Si waited until they were far out at sea before trapping Haider and his sailors in his Divine Slaughter's Domain.
- Tang Si revealed that Haider was a pirate who preyed on wealthy passengers, and explained that his spotless reputation came from killing anyone who could complain.
- Haider confessed and begged Tang Si to spare him, so Tang Si withdrew his domain and gave him a chance to reform, puzzling the others.
