The white warship sped across the deep blue sea, its surface shimmering with the Law Secret Patterns, pushing its speed to the limits of a True God.
The sea breeze was torn apart at the bow of the ship into terrifying gusts of air, surging to both sides.
Ying Liu stood at the bow of the ship, gazing ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
The maidservant beside him stood quietly, occasionally glancing up at the figure in a blue robe who was resting with his eyes closed at the stern of the ship, before quickly lowering her head again.
Lu Qingshan sat at the stern of the boat, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was continuing to study the Divine Power Flow School in sync with his Xue You Clone.
He lost his biological data, but he still had the essence blood of Eternal True God Level left behind by Gou Wu. That essence blood was most likely at the level of Infinite Divine Body. He couldn't see through it even a little bit before, but now, with the blessing of the Eye of Wisdom, he could glean some useful information from it.
Although he was cultivating, Lu Qingshan was still sensing his surroundings, preparing for any potential dangers. Occasionally, a faint, almost imperceptible light would flash between his brows; it was his Eye of Wisdom unconsciously capturing changes in his environment.
Several days later, scattered islands began to appear on the sea ahead, and Ying Liu became more talkative. "Mr. Han Li, that archipelago ahead is the headquarters of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. There are seven large islands in total, and hundreds of smaller islands around them. Most of the Chamber of Commerce's industries and powerful members are concentrated in that area. This time, we'll enter the main island, find the vice president, and take the initiative to attack. As long as we control the vice president, everything else will be much easier..."
This was also part of Ying Liu's previous plan. In his view, the biggest problem now was the ambitious vice president. Once the vice president was dealt with, there wouldn't be any problems with the others.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the faint outline of the island ahead. He frowned slightly. "Are you sure your information hasn't leaked?"
"Impossible." Ying Liu his head. "My trip this time was extremely secretive; even my uncle didn't know about it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of grayish-white light suddenly appeared on the sea surface ahead. This white light, like mist rising from the seabed, quickly enveloped the entire sea area.
The surrounding seawater began to freeze, and even the color of the sky gradually darkened, as if a thick fog had isolated them from the outside world.
"It's a formation!" Ying Liu's expression changed drastically. "This is the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's Sea-Encircling Great Array!"
The white warship shuddered violently, its speed plummeting as if it were stuck in a swamp.
Immediately afterwards, six figures emerged from the mist from all directions, surrounding them. The one in the lead was burly and had a very upright appearance; he was none other than the vice president of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
" Ying Liu, you secretly returned to the Chamber of Commerce with outsiders without even telling me beforehand so I could prepare food and drinks." The vice president smiled, but his eyes were filled with icy coldness.
Another True God sneered and said, "Just a mere Master of Laws, thinking he can turn the world upside down just because he found some help outside?"
Ying Liu's face turned pale, realizing he had fallen into a trap. "Vice President, I am the rightful heir of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce! Are you going to kill me and plunder my family's business?"
"Heir? A mere brat who isn't even True God dares to inherit the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce?" The vice president sneered, his gaze falling on Lu Qingshan at the stern of the ship. "This is the helper you invited? He seems to be a Master of Laws? It seems you're really courting death!"
The formation has a simple function of judging strength. They could not detect Lu Qingshan's True God Heart, but they were also not sure if he was Master of Laws.
After all, even if this Ying Liu is a complete idiot, he couldn't possibly ask a Master of Laws to come and help him. He must have some other way of hiding his strength.
This would actually make things more dangerous. Lu Qingshan raised his head slightly and glanced at the vice president. He showed no concern about being surrounded.
He wasn't worried.
But the maid standing nearby was already panicking.
"Vice President, didn't you say that when I told you the news, you would only put the young master under house arrest and wouldn't harm him?"
"Fool! I'm going to take control of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, how could I possibly keep him alive!"
The vice president snorted coldly. He thought he had the whole situation under control, so naturally he wouldn't pretend anything.
The maid's face was pale as she looked in Ying Liu's direction, her eyes filled with guilt. "Young Master... I'm sorry. They captured my parents and clansmen. I had no choice. I thought they wouldn't kill you..."
Ying Liu stared in disbelief at the maid who had served him for so many years. He couldn't believe that the one who had betrayed him and revealed his whereabouts was the person he trusted most. He was furious. "You..."
The maid offered no explanation.
Her divine body began to expand, like a balloon igniting from within. A scorching aura surged from her body, then transformed into a blazing white pillar of light that shot into the sky and engulfed her entirely.
Self-destruct.
The maid chose to self-destruct. She couldn't face the young master who treated her like family, nor did she dare to look at the final outcome. Ying Liu stood frozen in place, his gaze fixed on the spot where she had disappeared, motionless for a long time.
Before the embers of that light had completely disappeared, an even heavier blow came, and a figure that was all too familiar to Ying Liu stepped out from the enemy formation.
" Ying Liu," the man spoke, his voice steady and calm, "After your father's fall, it was destined that you could not take over the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. You are not even True God; you are simply incapable of protecting the legacy your father left behind. The Vice President has both strength and connections; it would be far better to hand the Chamber of Commerce over to him than to you."
Ying Liu raised his head and looked at the face he had once trusted so much.
The uncle who had promised to work with him from the inside was now standing next to the vice president, his gaze calm.
"Why..." Ying Liu's voice was a little hoarse, "You said you would help me."
"That was just to put your mind at ease!" The uncle shook his head. "You're no match for the vice president, and neither am I. Rather than die together, it's better to leave each other alive."
Ying Liu didn't speak again. He shifted his gaze from his uncle to the slowly shrinking gray-white array, and finally sighed.
"Mr. Han Li, I'm so sorry! It was all my fault."
With six True God and the support of the Four Seas Great Array, Ying Liu couldn't think of any way to turn the tide; this was simply beyond the ability of a single True God to resist.
He not only killed himself, but also killed Mr. Han Li.
Lu Qingshan remained silent throughout. He simply stood up slowly, glanced at Ying Liu, and then turned to look at the six True God who had completed their encirclement.
He said it calmly.
Just watch!
Having said that, he swung his sword!
A purple-gold blade of light burst forth from the bow of the ship, like a crescent moon sweeping across the sea, slicing through layers of array barriers, tearing a long rift in the gray-white mist, and slashing straight into the six-person formation.
The vice president's expression changed.
"Join forces!"
He shouted sharply.
The other five True God attacked simultaneously, and together with him, all their power was combined. With the support of the formation, they managed to block the purple-gold light.
"How could this be!"
"How can he be so powerful? If he's not True God, could he be Void True God?"
The vice president's expression changed drastically. Such powerful strength could not possibly be possessed by True God. If it were Void True God, One Thought Void would be enough to suppress them along with the formation; there would be no need for such a thing.
"Not bad, it can still block one of my attacks, but it's over."
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.
"Wait a minute..." the vice president hurriedly said, "Sir, we'll agree to whatever conditions that kid Ying Liu agreed to, as long as you don't interfere in this matter."
Upon hearing this, Ying Liu, whose hope had just been rekindled, tensed up.
If you can get what you want without fighting the six True God who are empowered by the formation, why risk your life and risk it all?
"I, Han, always keep my word when I travel. Since I promised Ying Liu, I will naturally help him solve his problems."
After saying that.
He used Divine Power Burning Secret Technique, further enhancing his strength.
" Endless Road! Return to the Ruins in a Single Thought!"
A vast River of Time-Space stretched out from beneath his feet, quickly enveloping the entire formation. The surging power of Time-Space and space was as vast as the ocean.
" Return to the Ruins!" Boom!!!
The River of Time-Space suddenly exploded.
It transformed into an Endless destructive force. Several True God were caught in its midst and had no way to dodge. In an instant, they were destroyed along with this terrifying force.
A moment later.
The grayish-white mist on the sea surface gradually dissipated, restoring its deep blue transparency.
All six figures had vanished, leaving only a few damaged Supreme Treasure and storage items scattered on the sea.
The sea breeze returns, carrying a slightly salty, fishy smell.
Lu Qingshan raised his hand and collected all the spoils of war. The spoils of war from six True God couldn't be wasted. He looked at Ying Liu beside him and said, "They're dead. Are you still going back?"
Ying Liu was still in shock when he heard Lu Qingshan's words and quickly nodded.
"Please escort me back to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. The vice president and the others are all dead; the remaining people know what to do. The legacy my father left behind cannot be lost like this."
"Alright!"
The warship restarted and headed towards the island group ahead. Several months later, at the headquarters of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Ying Liu did not disappoint Lu Qingshan. After the news of the fall of the vice president and several elders spread, the others in the chamber of commerce who had been observing quickly chose to submit, and the situation stabilized again in just a few days.
Of course, the most important factor is the presence of Lu Qingshan, a powerful figure, as a deterrent.
Otherwise, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would have fallen apart long ago.
Ying Liu also fulfilled his promise and delivered all the biological materials and exotic substances from the Chamber of Commerce's warehouses to Lu Qingshan.
Piles of True God Level beast shells, bones, and blood; rows of ores and Wonder labeled with their names and origins; and some deep-sea specialties he had never seen before.
"Senior, this is the reward you promised." Ying Liu stood at the door, looking at the materials, without any regret, only respect.
After experiencing betrayal and despair, he gradually matured.
"Good."
Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction.
The amount of things Ying Liu sent was more than he had imagined.
Upon hearing this, Ying Liu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said again, " Mr. Han, I would like to invite Mr. Han to be a guest elder of our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. Our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce does not have a True God level expert. Once you leave, we will inevitably be swallowed up. If you are willing to join, our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will continuously collect these things for you, and I am willing to give you half of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's share."
"You're quite magnanimous."
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
Having a powerful organization to help collect these things is indeed very convenient. The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has partnerships with many forces in the deep sea, making it easier to use.
And all he did was help out by holding the fort, yet he got half the share—not bad at all...
Seeing that Lu Qingshan agreed, Ying Liu looked pleasantly surprised and quickly said, "Thank you, sir."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly, his gaze returning to the mountain of materials.
Find me a place to seclude myself for cultivation.
