Not only does the Sun Family's Merchant Ship have astonishing defense, but it is also specially installed with chaotic cannons with shocking destructive power, which is enough to kill a Master of Chaos below Fifth Level and heavily injure Masters of Chaos between Fifth to Tenth Level.
However, if there was a spy supporting the pirates outside, it would be another matter. This unfathomable defense could be breached at any time.
At this moment, a middle-aged man approached the woman who seemed to wield authority and spoke, "Miss, it's essential to be cautious, but he doesn't appear to be a pirate. Look at him; he seems to be an individual with a high status. The aura surrounding him is powerful and commanding, as if he's ready to exert influence over everything. I guess he came from a powerful background. Most importantly, we have deviated from our original route, which means that even if pirates are aware of our merchant ship, they do not know we've been compelled to change course. Therefore, I can say that this person is not a spy. Of course, I'm not completely sure, but I still hope we do not ignore him. If we help him today and his background is really big and powerful, we can make a connection with his family or sect through him."
When the old man in white heard this, he thought for a moment and supported the middle-aged man's words.
Indeed, they have diverted from the original route.
There is no way pirates would know the secondary route they were forced to take. It also means this person's appearance here was nothing more than a coincidence.
The woman's beautiful eyes flickered. After a while, she asked, "Elder Mo, how sure are you that this person is not a spy of the pirates?"
The middle-aged man, Elder Mo, chuckled embarrassingly, "As I said earlier, I'm not completely sure. This is only my guess."
Stopping for a few seconds, Elder Mo started explaining, "If there is really a pirate who wants to arrange spies within our merchant ship, it should be back at the Land's station and not halfway in the void, that would be too eye-catching. Not to mention, we have already deviated from our original route."
"I'm saying he has come from a powerful family or sect because of two reasons. Firstly, his aura and presence are on an entirely different level from ordinary Celestial Sovereigns. Even though we are inside, I can sense his presence is that of a monster, a terrifying monster. Secondly, I can't see through his strength. I mean, although he is only a Seventh Stage Celestial Sovereign, his true strength is far from that. I cannot say where his limit lies." Elder Mo voiced his own guess.
"Huh? Elder Mo, you are about to break through and step into the realms of Masters of Chaos, but you still can't tell what is the limit of this person's strength?" The woman was shocked and spoke up.
Elder Mo smiled bitterly. "If it is an ignorant person, they'll say it is nothing much and ignore this small detail. They underestimate their opponents. This is also the reason why most people die. But I'm not like that. I really can't see through this person's strength. Perhaps it's because the other party has some treasure that can conceal his cultivation realm."
"This is also the reason why I hope that Miss will allow this person to enter. If our merchant ship leaves him here and doesn't care about him, no matter if it is his potential or the power behind him, he may likely bring some trouble to our Sun Family's Merchant Ship."
.....
Outside the Sun Family's Merchant Ship, Ling Xiaolong waited quietly without making a sound. He understood that it was a little too much to ask for a merchant ship that suddenly appeared on the way to let him, a stranger, enter.
There were pirates in the void, Ling Xiaolong also knew about it from the Feng Hanli of the Solar Phoenix Sect who was used to traveling in the void and visiting other Lands to make deals. Obviously, he knew that the other party might be worried about whether he was an insider of the pirates or not.
Ling Xiaolong did not have to wait for long. In just a few minutes, the door of the Sun Family's Merchant Ship suddenly opened. An old voice sounded in Ling Xiaolong's ears.
"Sir, please come in."
Ling Xiaolong was overjoyed and immediately flew over.
.....
After entering the Sun Family's Merchant Ship, Ling Xiaolong first saw a white-robed old man and a blue-eyed girl beside the old man.
However, he could also feel the presence of a third person.
He did not think much nor did he use his Divine Sense to see who it is. It'll be rude to do that.
The lady's eyebrows arched gracefully, and her eyes sparkled like stars. A subtle smile played on her lips, radiating an approachable warmth without appearing overly enthusiastic. It was a flawless smile, leaving a favorable impression on those around her.
"Mister, my name is Lin Weiwei, and I'm the owner of this ship. I appreciate your patience in waiting outside for a few minutes, and for that, I offer my sincere apologies."
"No worries. I understand your situation. It is indeed not easy to trust a stranger who suddenly appears in front of you, mainly in the void." Ling Xiaolong quickly shook his head and smiled at them.
The old man, Hong Zhaohui, also laughed.
Elder Hong said, "The void is indeed incomparably dangerous. How did you get lost in the void? Could it be that you entered the Void alone and encountered Void Beasts, causing you to take another unknown route?"
Ling Xiaolong did not want to speak too much. So he simply agreed with the old man's words, "Indeed, it is exactly as you said. Before this, I was exploring the Land of Luminous Essence. After that, I decided to go and explore other Lands. So, I entered the void alone and encountered Void Beasts. This resulted in me getting lost."
Ling Xiaolong did not say he was from the Land of Luminous Essence, he said he was exploring this Land. The meaning behind his words was very clear, and these people on the merchant ship were not stupid to not understand.
Lin Weiwei's mouth slightly opened, a look of surprise on her face.
Elder Hong was also shocked. He said, "Land of Luminous Essence? I remember that this Land is very far away from here. You sure came far enough this time, flying in the void alone!"
Whether it was Ling Xiaolong's stupidity that gave him the guts to enter the Void alone or he was simply too brave, the people on the Sun Family's Merchant Ship could not help but admire Ling Xiaolong.
Ling Xiaolong rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. "I have been flying in the void for a few days after getting lost."
Ling Xiaolong and others talked quite a bit.
After that, he was brought into the First Cabin. Bringing Ling Xiaolong to the first cabin, Elder Hong clapped his hands. A maid in revealing clothes came with fine wine and delicacies.
Lin Weiwei, Elder Hong, and Ling Xiaolong sat opposite each other, eating and chatting at the same time.
This time, Ling Xiaolong boarded the Sun Family's Merchant Ship, and finally, he wouldn't have to wander in the void. He was very grateful to Lin Weiwei and Elder Hong. Elder Hong was also interested in befriending Ling Xiaolong, so the three of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Not long after, Ling Xiaolong suddenly asked, "Elder Hong, Miss Lin, if I want to go to the Land of Celestial Glory, how will I go there?"
Elder Hong frowned and fell into deep thought.
When Lin Weiwei saw this, she said, "The Land of Celestial Glory is a huge Land. Is that where you are from?
"Anyway, the Land of Celestial Glory isn't on the way of our route. There are many chambers of commerce in the Chaos. My Sun Family's Chamber of Commerce is only one of them. There are many Lands on our sailing route. Unfortunately, the Land of Celestial Glory is not of them!"
"You can find many chambers of commerce almost in every Land. You might find a merchant ship that is going to fly towards the Land of Celestial Glory in the next Land we visit. At that time, you can transfer the ships. Even if there is no direct ship, you should be able to reach the Land of Celestial Glory after a few rounds."
"However, this will obviously take quite some time."
"I see!"
Ling Xiaolong held his chin. What Lin Weiwei said was indeed a method, but it would take a lot of time to change the ship several times.
Unfortunately, he has no choice. He doesn't know the route.
However, it is still better than teleporting randomly in the void.
