Chapter 750: Turning to Banditry

"We don't need your people to fight, but the Warship's attack and defense should come in handy."

Wu Tian said calmly.

These past days they've been continuously recruiting large Warships, aiming to use those Warships as vanguards in battle to wear down the opponent's strength.

Therefore the Warships they recruit must have strong defense and attack capabilities. That's why they set their sights on the Nether Ghost Ship.

"What if the Warship gets damaged?"

Ye Liuyun's thinking is that he'd rather join the fight himself than let the Warship be damaged.

When sailing beyond the domain, a Warship is far more important than a person.

After all, to evade pursuit later they still rely on that Warship; if the Warship is damaged, they'll soon be caught by the people of Nether Hell.

"You kid talk too much! Are you the employer? So you want compensation from us?"

Wu Tian was somewhat displeased. The terms he offered, for a bandit, were already generous, yet Ye Liuyun still refused.

"I am the employer. We can join the battle, but the Warship must not be damaged. Our subsequent voyage still depends on it!"

Ye Liuyun was not at all intimidated by his threat, and retorted sharply.

Wu Tian, hearing that, was too lazy to argue. Since they couldn't reach an agreement, it was best to let force speak.

He pointed at a Yin Yang Seven Layers Martial Cultivator nearby and said, "If you can beat him, I'll let you protect your Warship during the scramble, and even assign you two Level 3 Battleships as escort vessels. How about it?"

"Fine. It's a deal!"

Ye Liuyun immediately agreed.

"Deal, deal!"

Wu Tian nonchalantly repeated Ye Liuyun's words twice, clearly not believing he could win.

The other bandits also laughed on the side, mocking Ye Liuyun for overestimating himself.

That Yin Yang Seven Layers Martial Cultivator was considered a backbone force in their bandit troupe. Though not the topmost tier, he was still quite famous.

Only the old ghost in the Warship behind, watching the confident Ye Liuyun, squinted slightly.

"This kid's bearing suggests he has some real skill!" he muttered to himself.

Soon, Wu Tian and the others could no longer laugh.

Because Ye Liuyun used only one move, the Yin Yang Millstone, and directly knocked that Yin Yang Seven Layers Martial Cultivator down.

Ye Liuyun held back his strength; otherwise that move could have killed him.

These bandits, compared with the Tianjiao of the Lingxiao Sect, were far weaker. Normally, being able to fight across a First Realm is already considered impressive.

Thus they never imagined Ye Liuyun could cross two realms and win easily.

Moreover, the pressure emitted by Ye Liuyun's Yin Yang Millstone, together with its embedded Fire Flame Power and Heaven and Earth Power, made Wu Tian feel the strain.

"This kid's strength is probably not weaker than mine! I didn't expect to pick up a treasure?"

Wu Tian thought this and felt secretly pleased, though outwardly he showed no reaction.

"Fine, you won. I will keep my promise. In battle you may preserve your Warship. Later I will assign you two Level 3 Battleships to guard each side of your Warship."

Immediately, he ordered people to install a special device on Ye Liuyun's Warship.

The device is placed in the control room. If Ye Liuyun tries to flee, the device will instantly lock all operations of the Nether Ghost Ship.

"Can Bojiao dismantle this device?"

Ye Liuyun transmitted to Du Yan.

"It can be dismantled, but once taken apart they'll notice," Du Yan replied.

"So we can't run away?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Do you think bandits are all fools? After all that effort, you still think you can escape?" Du Yan said bluntly.

"You really think I'm a bandit!"

Ye Liuyun sighed, and together with Du Yan returned to the Warship, then followed Wu Tian's Flying Boat back to their headquarters.

Their Nether Ghost Ship, once it turned back, immediately drew everyone's attention.

But Ye Liuyun and his group never left the Warship, so no one knew what was happening inside.

The other bandits only heard that their Yin Yang Seven Layers strongman was knocked down by a Yin Yang Five Layers youth with a single palm.

Ye Liuyun's others, seeing the myriad bandit Warships around, felt uneasy. Only Lei Ming seemed unusually excited.

"Big brother, have we finally become real bandits?"

"Haha, yes, girl, you finally got what you wanted!" Ye Liuyun laughed…

Wu Tian and the old ghost, after returning, reported to Lan Ruo Bing, especially evaluating Ye Liuyun's strength.

They now need not only Warships but also high‑end combat power.

Wu Tian assessed, "That youth's strength is at least comparable to mine! Inside their Warship there are also two women, whose realms are similar to his; their strength also seems not weak!"

When installing the device, Wu Tian had entered the Nether Ghost Ship to inspect and saw all of their personnel.

The old ghost shook his head mockingly, "You overestimate yourself! In my view, that kid could also palm‑kill you!"

"Don't underestimate me! I've sensed that kid's strength; he's not much stronger than me!" Wu Tian said dissatisfied.

In truth, he felt pressure, which is why he dared not engage Ye Liuyun. He feared losing and looking shameful before the many bandits.

Otherwise, given his temperament, he would certainly have tried Ye Liuyun himself.

Lan Ruo Bing knows him too well. Especially after hearing the old ghost's assessment, she immediately wanted to meet Ye Liuyun.

Their bandit troupe's current strength is not optimistic; if they could recruit a strongman, she certainly wouldn't miss the chance.

"Alright, I'll go find him."

Wu Tian said, and went personally to find Ye Liuyun.

Soon, Ye Liuyun followed Wu Tian straight into the Super Warship where Lan Ruo Bing was.

He swept with his Divine Sense and discovered that this Warship housed at least two thousand Martial Cultivators, enough to form a powerful legion.

This doesn't even count the various warships and flying boats outside. All these added together truly can be called a legion-level bandit group.

Moreover, the number of Martial Cultivators at the late stage of the Yin-Yang Realm is not small, about thirty or more.

Such strength can absolutely be called a colossus among bandit gangs. No wonder they have long been entrenched here, remaining unsubdued for years.

Wu Tian directly brought Ye Liuyun to the control room and introduced him.

"Brother Ye, this is our Sister Lan!"

"Sister Lan, hello!" Ye Liuyun was not overly formal; instead, he began to size up Lan Ruobing.

Lan Ruobing's appearance did not look like a bandit's; on the contrary, she resembled a female Elder of the Sect. Although she seemed somewhat cold, her demeanor was indeed very noble, and she lacked the bandit aura that other bandits have.
