Chapter 421: Chapter 420: Don’t Bully People To Death Like This
As soon as they boarded the spaceship, they were controlled the moment they left the mecha.
No resistance.
And because of the existence of the Sea King Order, no one dared to disrespect them...
The two were taken to the Imperial Capital of Siria Star.
At this moment, inside the great hall, numerous key members of the pirates had already gathered.
About a hundred people, each with a fierce expression, were staring at Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City... Though their hands were bound behind them, their expressions remained calm.
Both of their gazes were drawn to the front.
There, an old man with eyes like a hawk, was staring at them intently. He was very old, his skin wrinkled beyond recognition, with a dozen nutritional tubes inserted in his body, looking like he was on the verge of death at any moment...
No one would have expected that this was Pirate King Gor Sparrow, who had dominated the cosmos for a century without rival!
Through the ravages of time...
He was so old that he relied on nutritional tubes for daily activities.
Beside him stood a blonde woman, around thirty years old... in her prime, and at this moment, her gaze kept wandering over Xu Lingjun...
Well, it’s a normal reaction.
Xu Lingjun was quietly reassured, thinking to himself that there were many experts present, yet the only one who couldn’t see through him was the old Gor above.
It seems the enemy’s strength is strong but not beyond his expectations. It’s not surprising, as piracy fundamentally relies on technological power.
Rarely is single combat power used... otherwise, Roger Sparrow, a master at the Peak of Profound Mystery, wouldn’t have become the new Pirate King.
Even Han Yun City gently breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that even if they failed, the possibility of breaking out wasn’t low.
They’re not ordinary Profound Mystics...
If they can’t fight across tiers, what’s the point of being a Profound Mystic?
Old Gor’s gaze swept over Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City.
He raised his hand and said, "Take this strong one down and slaughter him first."
"What?!"
Both were taken aback simultaneously.
Han Yun City’s face was filled with disbelief as he watched two pirates come to drag him away. He exclaimed, "Why?"
"I don’t like how calm you both appear, as if everything is under your control."
Old Gor said faintly, "What do you mean, are you implying that you’ve got me figured out? I’ve traveled the cosmos for so many years, and who can have me figured out? But now, your expressions please me, you’re facing the Pirate King and should maintain the basic reverence."
Xu Lingjun couldn’t help but be speechless, thinking to himself that sacrificing Han Yun City just for that reason would truly be absurd.
He said, "The reason we’re calm is that we’re confident you can’t refuse the benefits we bring, that’s all. And you’re thinking of killing us just because we didn’t show enough reverence, huh... Isn’t reverence supposed to come from the heart, rather than being forced by external pressures? You’re over a hundred years old and still haven’t figured that out?"
Gor sneered and said, "I have the freedom to kill whoever I want, no one can interfere. Reverence? When a gun is pointed at your forehead, there’s no way you won’t have reverence... I just need reverence, whether it’s heartfelt or not is unimportant."
"But do you know who he is?"
"This kid is unremarkable, what identity could shock me?"
"He’s the Prince of the Blue Star Great Xia Empire, Han Yun City, and as a prince, he’s willing to take such a risk to come here, what sincerity and spirit is this?"
Han Yun City thought to himself, the spirit of being forced to come and sincerity on the brink of desperation...
He couldn’t help but worry that this old guy was somewhat unprincipled, and wondered if Old Xu’s plan would succeed.
Hearing Han Yun City’s identity, Gor’s aged eyebrows indeed twitched, and he waved a hand to signal those two to leave.
His cold gaze fixed on Xu Lingjun, he said, "A prince, yet following behind you, seems your identity is unusual..."
"Because the token in my hand was personally entrusted to me by Roger. Even as prince, he must defer to me on this journey!"
Xu Lingjun seriously said, "He who holds the Sea King Order can become the Sea King, this rule... Are you planning to deny it? If you do, Roger’s spirit will cry at the bottom of the ocean, after all, I am the new Pirate King personally appointed by him before his death! I came this time to claim my inheritance."
With these words...
The crowd was stunned, exclamations echoed one after another.
Sara lowered her head and glanced at her father.
Old Gor’s expression remained unchanged, he said faintly, "Roger is already dead, you’re holding a token and mouthing empty words, wanting to be Pirate King? Kid, really think we’re all fools?"
"Just as you said, Roger is dead, how can you prove this token wasn’t personally handed to me by him?"
Xu Lingjun sneered, "Or are you denying it? I also know that mere words aren’t enough to earn your trust... But why did I still come, willing to risk my life to come, surely not because I’m desperate and won’t survive otherwise. Truth is, coming here brings the risk of dying nine times over, yet I still came."
"Where did you get Roger’s inherited Sea King Order?"
Xu Lingjun pronounced each word carefully, "Within the prison at the Nanyun Martial Mansion!"
He had deliberated on these steps long ago, as long as he could gain speaking rights at this stage, he had great confidence in convincing these people.
Not many become pirates without being greedy.
As long as you’re greedy, you’re not afraid of you falling for it...
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words Nanyun Martial Mansion.
Old Gor’s expression changed dramatically, a murderous look emerged in his eyes, despite his frail body looking ready to fall apart, he suddenly soared into the air, rushing at Xu Lingjun.
He raised his hand, waving down.
Despite his aged body, this strike was like a mountain collapsing, with a thunderous power causing both to change their expressions slightly.
Han Yun City roared in a low voice, blood qi surging around him, while Xu Lingjun’s palm exuded cold blade qi...
Both rose to meet the challenge.
But the blade and gun both slashed into empty air.
Old Gor’s momentum was like thunder, his retreat as fast as a storm, he was back in his seat within moments... His aging body weakened his strength greatly, but his mastery over his True Essence was more refined.
His gaze toward Xu Lingjun was filled with complex emotions.
He asked, "You’re using the Zhou Family’s Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique, so your surname is Zhou?"
Xu Lingjun noticed Gor’s instantly withdrawn expression of anger, feeling something stirring within.
Boldly adjusting the plan, he said, "That’s right, I haven’t changed my name, nor my surname, I am Zhou Mu!"
"In that case, it makes sense that Roger would pass the Sea King Order to you, after all, father and son are connected."
Old Gor seemed to age several years suddenly, sighing, "My daughter Sara, due to certain events in the past, can no longer bear children... It’s fortunate that Roger didn’t abandon her, willing to marry her. I treat this son-in-law as if he were my own son, treating him as my biological child, passing the Pirate King position to him, it’s truly deserved."
Han Yun City was speechless, thinking, so Roger is Zhou Mu’s biological father?
Good heavens...
In that case, the Zhou Family’s three generations were wiped out by Su Xun?
This is a genocide.
And now this guy wants to extract the last value from Zhou Mu?
