Duan Gujin was very clear in his mind that his previous attack had only destroyed the Defensive Magic Array on that small ship, and there were at least a hundred people on the enemy's ship. He couldn't determine how much damage he had inflicted on those enemies.
He had just infused Primordial Power into the Heavenly Emperor Bell, almost depleting all his Primordial Power. If a challenger of the Martial Monarch Realm were to attack him now, he would have been defenseless.
Jiang Qichen and the other two were in the Innate Realm; even they could not block the attacks from the enemies of the Martial Monarch Realm behind them.
Therefore, Duan Gujin did not expect them to be able to repel those pursuing enemies.
Jiang Qichen finally regained his senses, he quickly infused Primordial Power into the small ship, and then steered the ship swiftly towards the direction where beams of light had appeared.
"Ha ha! Just now was so exhilarating!"
Fang Xiaomei was all smiles, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at Duan Gujin.
Seeing Duan Gujin's pale, bloodless face upon returning to the small ship, Jiang Qichen knew that Duan Gujin had exhausted most of his internal Primordial Power. He hurriedly made Duan Gujin swallow an Elixir Pill to recover his power, then drove the boat rapidly forward.
Soon, dozens of heads emerged from the sea where the small ship had been destroyed.
"Young Master, Young Master, where are you?"
Those people looked around in panic. They didn't want anything to happen to their Young Master.
They were well aware that if anything happened to the Young Master, all of them were likely to face death in his place.
Their old boss had repeatedly emphasized before they left to protect the Young Master's safety thoroughly.
Those subordinates knew well that if something really happened to the Young Master, the sole child of the old boss, they would indeed have to die alongside the Young Master!
So, they quickly dived into the water to search for the Young Master, fearing that something truly dire had happened!
A moment later, someone managed to pull the Young Master out of the sea.
One of them took a small ship out of a storage ring, letting the others board the small ship.
On the deck of the small ship, everyone looked tense as they watched over the Young Master.
After a while, someone said, "Everyone, don't worry, the Young Master is alright."
Hearing this, the rock that had been weighing on everyone's heart was finally set down.
15 minutes later, the Young Master finally regained consciousness.
Recalling the previous scene, the Young Master was immediately seized by a surge of fearful trepidation.
"Where are those people?"
The Young Master hurriedly asked the surrounding subordinates, who told the Young Master that they had not found those people.
Usually, the Young Master would have lashed out at his subordinates as inept.
But at this moment, the Young Master did not vent his anger on his subordinates, because he had truly been frightened.
He had thought he was going to die, and unexpectedly, he had survived.
From the recent confrontation, the Young Master realized that the people on that small ship were very strong.
The Young Master knew he must not take it lightly.
Although he had been very reckless before, the recent failure had completely calmed him down.
"If it were just the people on our ship, we probably wouldn't be a match for that person. I need to gather others from different ships to join in."
After pondering for a while, the Young Master came up with this strategy.
He assumed that the people on that small ship were very capable, but they had one fatal flaw—their numbers were too few, only four people.
On his side, there were more than six hundred people. He believed his side could completely overwhelm Duan Gujin's side with sheer numbers.
"As long as I can redeem some pride, losing a few subordinates doesn't matter!"
The Young Master immediately contacted those ships still behind, ordering them to hurry over.
After two hours, those small ships that had been far behind finally caught up.
In the past, the Young Master would have scolded the subordinates on those small ships as useless.
But seeing them appear now, he was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "My reinforcements have finally come!"
Thinking back to when Duan Gujin ambushed, he felt both fear and anger.
"If I encounter him again, I'll let others go ahead as cannon fodder to block his attack! After that person destroyed my ship, he immediately fled. I believe he can only use that move once! If he could continue to use it, he would have completely annihilated us just then!"
The Young Master analyzed Duan Gujin's previous actions and concluded that the move that destroyed the whole ship could only be used once.
Although he had lost one ship, he still had five ships quite similar to the lost one.
"Let's catch up immediately!"
The Young Master, without delay, urged his subordinates to continue paddling, quickly moving towards the direction of the beam of light.
Meanwhile, Duan Gujin and others sat in a small boat recovering their Primordial Power.
The one steering the ship forward was Jiang Qichen, and after an hour, he began to struggle with the continuous expenditure of Primordial Power.
So, he let Chen Daping take over his position while he rested and recovered his power on the side.
Chen Daping did not refuse his request. As a member of the Qiankun Royal Academy, he infused his Divine Sense into the small ship, then channeled his Primordial Power to steer the ship forward.
Fang Xiaomei appeared extremely nervous; she was very concerned that the pursuing boats might continue to appear.
She looked around, noticing that Duan Gujin and Jiang Qichen were both closing their eyes to rest and recover their Primordial Power.
She knew that the current situation was very unfavorable for them, not knowing when the pursuers might appear.
She dared not take it lightly, extending her Divine Sense to prevent any pursuers from catching up from behind.
Time passed slowly, and after an hour, Chen Daping also couldn't hold on anymore, letting Fang Xiaomei take over to propel the boat forward.
"Fang Xiaomei, do your best! But if you really can't hold on, you must stop immediately,"
Chen Daping said.
"Okay!"
Fang Xiaomei initially felt a bit nervous; her Divine Sense entered the small ship.
A moment later, she infused more Primordial Power into the ship.
Under her control, the boat swiftly advanced towards the direction of the emerging beam of light.
After another hour, Fang Xiaomei also could no longer bear it.
"I'll take over!"
Duan Gujin, who had recovered about 80% of his Primordial Power, seeing Fang Xiaomei's pale face, told her to rest and recover her Primordial Power.
Duan Gujin's Divine Sense entered the interior of the small ship, and then he channeled his Primordial Power into the ship's Acceleration Array.
Under his control, the boat continued to race forward rapidly.
Half a day passed, and Jiang Qichen and the others had also recovered their Primordial Power.
They took turns channeling Primordial Power into the small ship, steering it forward.
"Why can we still only see that beam of light in front of us, yet we can't get any closer to it?"
Looking at the beam of light that appeared ahead, Duan Gujin frowned with concern.
