Just as the four of them thought the giant Xuan Turtle had left, suddenly Duan Gujin hurriedly whispered a secret message to the three of them.
"Everyone, quickly conceal your Life Aura, the giant Xuan Turtle has returned!"
Jiang Qichen and the other two quickly concealed the Life Aura emanating from their bodies, remaining on high alert.
A moment later, they really sensed a very terrifying aura suddenly emerging from beneath the sea.
"The giant Xuan Turtle has indeed returned."
Everyone at the scene took a sharp intake of breath, unable to comprehend why the giant Xuan Turtle had returned, leaving them puzzled.
Therefore, they silently waited on the fishing boat for the giant Xuan Turtle to leave, but time ticked by without any sign of it departing.
"How strange! Why hasn't the giant Xuan Turtle left yet?"
Many thoughts flashed through Duan Gujin's mind.
"Could it be suspicious of us?"
An hour later, Duan Gujin sensed again that the giant Xuan Turtle had left.
Only after confirming that the giant Xuan Turtle had truly departed did he inform Jiang Qichen and the others.
"We no longer need to live in fear!"
Duan Gujin looked towards the column of light in front of them, his mind stirring, feeling they should rush into that light column first.
While evading the giant Xuan Turtle earlier, he had secretly swallowed several Innate Primordial Pills to recover his Primordial Power.
Therefore, his Primordial Power had already recovered more than eighty percent.
"I should set up an Acceleration Array on this fishing boat now!"
Duan Gujin then inquired with Jiang Qichen and the others to see if they had materials for setting up an Acceleration Array.
"I have some!"
Jiang Qichen immediately handed over the Acceleration Array materials he had to Duan Gujin for him to create the array.
"This fishing boat isn't great, I have some better small boats in my storage ring!"
Jiang Qichen suggested.
"Then bring out your small boat, and I will set up the Acceleration Array on it!"
Duan Gujin said.
He had previously thought he could easily evade the pursuers behind him, hence he did not specifically plan to set up an Acceleration Array on the fishing boat.
But now the situation had changed since the giant Xuan Turtle appeared again.
Duan Gujin guessed that the giant Xuan Turtle's target might be that beam of light, but he could not comprehend why, if the beam was right ahead, it had stopped earlier to chase after them instead of pursuing the light.
"The only way to unravel this mystery is to find out what exactly is emitting that light beam!"
Duan Gujin quickly set up an Acceleration Array on Jiang Qichen's small boat.
Seeing Duan Gujin effortlessly create a Third Rank Acceleration Array on the spot, Jiang Qichen was dumbfounded.
A shock ran through him; he had never imagined that Duan Gujin, a mere eighteen years old, was also a skilled Third-order Array Master.
At Qiankun Royal Academy, a Third-order Array Master is the level of their instructors.
He had previously inquired about Duan Gujin, knowing he was only eighteen this year, never expecting such a young man to be a Third-order Array Master.
"I understand now, he simply disdained the arrays I had set up!"
Recalling the small boat he had shown earlier, Jiang Qichen realized he had made a fool of himself in front of Duan Gujin!
"Good heavens! Duan Gujin, so you are a Third-order Array Master!"
Fang Xiaomei exclaimed in shock.
"Fine, let's not fixate on this issue anymore, we need to rush towards that beam of light ahead! If we're late, that giant Xuan Turtle might return!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Qichen and the others hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Duan Gujin's mind stirred, and he swiftly commanded the small boat to rush towards the direction of the beam of light.
Suddenly, Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly, his Divine Sense detecting a small boat rapidly chasing after them from behind.
He immediately recognized that the boat behind was the same one that the young man had used to chase him earlier.
"Damn, the person from before has caught up, and his boat is so fast! I fear we will be caught up in no time!"
Duan Gujin quickly informed Jiang Qichen and the other three.
"What should we do?"
None of Jiang Qichen and his group thought that the Acceleration Array created by Duan Gu was not fast enough; they could clearly sense the small boat speeding up even faster than the one Jiang Qichen initially released.
"It seems we need to handle the pursuers behind us!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, knowing that if he couldn't deal with the enemy on the boat behind them, they would constantly be closely followed by the opponent.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
Jiang Qichen knew that battle was inevitable, he immediately had the others take out their weapons, preparing to face the enemies on the small boat behind them.
Indeed, just as Duan Gujin and the others thought, the boat currently chasing them belonged to the Young Master who had intended to hunt down Duan Gujin and his group.
Seeing the boat ahead stop, a smile immediately appeared on the Young Master's face.
"Haha, we've finally caught up! Everyone, prepare for battle right away! We need to capture those people ahead and then throw them into the sea to feed the sharks!"
The Young Master shouted loudly to his followers.
"Young Master is wise!"
His followers behind him quickly responded.
These people, having followed the Young Master, had committed many unlawful acts and were accustomed to murder and arson.
"Everyone, row quickly!"
The Young Master shouted loudly, fearing that Duan Gujin and his group might disappear before him.
Thus, he was eager to rush onto the boat ahead and capture Duan Gujin and his group to throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.
Seeing the small boat approaching from behind, Duan Gujin's mind stirred, and he thought of a plan.
He spied that there were about a hundred or two hundred people on the small boat behind; the enemy was numerous and formidable.
He had been keeping an eye on the large ship behind them, sensing a very strong Array Energy being emitted from it earlier, and he deduced that the boat had likely used up a lot of Crystal Stone Energy to catch up to them.
"So that's the case!"
Duan Gujin suddenly realized.
Moments later, he saw the small boat behind them come to a stop.
He observed clearly, the Acceleration Array on the small boat had stopped operating.
At this moment, the people on the boat had started to row with paddles.
"Everyone, don't act rashly!"
Duan Gujin quickly took out the Heavenly Emperor Bell from the storage ring, locking his Divine Sense onto the small boat behind.
After a while, Duan Gujin's face showed a smile.
"Don't move recklessly! I will deal with that boat!"
The people on the boat, knowing that Duan Gujin alone could hardly handle the people on the small boat, quickly started to make inquiries.
"Duan Gujin, it's too dangerous for you to confront them alone! Let's act together!"
