No matter how these water pirates shout or threaten, it's all to no avail.

Seeing this, the old captain and the crew on the ship were so shocked their eyes almost popped out.

They knew that the young master on the ship, known as the "Fourth Young Master," had remarkable power, and the household guards beside him seemed quite strong as well. But how could royal relatives be so easily provoked?

Knowing the background of these water pirates, how dare this young master act in such a manner?

"Wang Xiaohu, go interrogate them." The composed young man instructed again.

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

The head of household, Wang Xiaohu, immediately took some men to pull the group of water pirates down for interrogation.

These water pirates were not the type to have strong willpower and confessed one by one in no time.

As it turned out, they were indeed acting on the instructions of the butler Wu Yong from the Jia Commandery Prince's Residence to dare to block boats on the canal and collect "protection fees."

The composed young man slightly furrowed his brows and said to a seemingly middle-aged, unremarkable-looking man behind him, "Ninth Uncle, I need you and Wang Xiaohu to make a trip, head to the Jia Commandery Prince's Residence, and apprehend the butler Wu Yong. Arrest anyone who dares to obstruct you."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master." Wang Zongjiu received the order and left.

The Wang family gained considerable success in the Officer Training Academy this time, acquiring not just four Transcendent Void Realm puppets but also a good number of Divine Power Territory puppets.

The strength of these Divine Power Territory puppets varied, with the most powerful nine named from "Wang Zongyi" to "Wang Zongjiu" based on the "Zong" generation. The moderately powerful ones were named from "Wang Shi One" to "Wang Shi Nine," and a few named from "Wang Anyi" to "Wang Anliu."

Some of the main decision-makers or important managers in the Wang Industry Group would be assigned some puppet guardians.

The puppets produced by the Divine Martial Dynasty were known for their solid quality.

Wang Zongjiu's combat strength was quite formidable, even compared to cultivators in the Divine Power Territory. Not to mention a mere Commandery Prince; even a Prince would most likely not be able to defeat him.

In less than half a day,

Butler Wu Yong from the Jia Commandery Prince's Residence was captured, along with those who dared to obstruct and resist.

Fortunately, the Jia Commandery Prince had some sense, realizing he hit a tough spot. Without regard for his dignity, he personally rushed to the canal fleet to apologize, "I didn't know Wu had offended which young master of the Wang family? I hope the young master will be magnanimous and forgive Wu this time~"

As he spoke, he had people deliver a whole box of Purple Gold Notes.

"I am Wang Shichao, the fourth of the 'Shi' generation of the Wang family, my father is Wang Zongchang." Wang Shichao's voice carried far and wide, "I have been tasked by my family to transport a batch of strategic materials to the Lingyun Holy Ground, yet I encountered such evil deeds."

Wang Shichao was a core member of the family, and the production of the Wang family's new battle armor was under his overall responsibility.

Despite being merely one hundred sixty or seventy years old now, he had already reached the late stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, and was the family's fourth cultivation sequence of choice.

The members of the "Shou" and "Zong" generations of the Wang family are not many, yet the family business is growing ever larger. In such a situation, those like him, ranking relatively high in the "Shi" generation, have long become the backbone of the Wang Industry Group, with a significant portion already holding substantial power.

Even within the Wang family, Wang Shichao's status was extremely high.

The Jia Commandery Prince felt a chill in his heart, instantly realizing that he had indeed hit a huge snag this time.

This was the fourth of the Wang family's "Shi" generation! And as he knew, the one known in the court as "Little Master," Wang Shizhao, was the third of the "Shi" generation in the Wang family!

The two were not much different in age, having grown up together from a young age, surely they had a close bond.

The Jia Commandery Prince gritted his teeth and continued to lower his stance to plead, "I beg the Fourth Young Master, for the sake of Princess Yiluo, give this old man some face."

"Your face, go beseech it from His Highness Emperor Zi'an, I can't afford to give it." Wang Shichao sneered, "Wang Xiaohu, gather the criminals and the confessions, send them to Return to Dragon City for His Highness to decide."

"Yes, Fourth Young Master."

Wang Xiaohu immediately received the order and left, taking a cold glance at the Jia Commandery Prince, feeling quite disdainful in his heart.

For a member of the imperial clan to do such things, it was simply disgraceful to the Imperial Household.

The Jia Commandery Prince's face turned extremely unsightly, and he appeared utterly dejected, as if he had suddenly aged several decades.

He knew that this time, he was finished~

If this matter didn't get reported, it would be fine, but once it did, Emperor Zi'an would never let him go. Not only would he alone be finished, his entire lineage might also be implicated.

Next to him, the shipowner and crew who witnessed the whole development of the event were all greatly shocked, as if they were dreaming.

Who could have thought that the water pirates who had been rampant on the canal for years were so easily dealt with? Was this still the arrogant water pirates they remembered?

At this moment, they gazed at Wang Shichao with eyes full of awe.

After dealing with this episode, Wang Shichao continued to lead the fleet onward.

Fortunately, there were no more unexpected disturbances along the way, and the fleet proceeded quietly, soon arriving at its destination.

It was a remote little port. At the port, experts from the Sacred Land had already led troops to meet them. They unloaded the goods from the large ships, transferring them from water transport to land transport, heading towards the towering mountains.

After spending quite a bit of time, they finally reached the Boundary Gap defended by Da Qian.
