Three days later, in the waters off Seagod Island.
Having lost the protection of the Seagod's radiance, the crew of Seagod Island hadn't left their base recently.
Therefore, this area had essentially become the domain of the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew.
Although she had been subdued by Xiaoxue and her group, this woman was used to her freedom.
Through a series of connections, she hadn't joined the Empire's legions,
continuing to rob the rich and help the poor in this area.
However, today's situation was different; over 20 ships had disappeared without a trace.
No trace was left at the scene, as if they had vanished into thin air.
"Captain, has some powerful soul beast appeared in the sea again? Otherwise…"
The surrounding waters had been calm for the past few days.
Furthermore, Purple Pearl's relationship with the Empire was extraordinary.
No one dared to cross the line nearby.
Who was responsible for these ship disappearances?
And how could they leave so few traces?
A master, definitely a master!
"You all stay here. I'm going to investigate myself. No one is allowed to leave port without my orders!"
Purple Pearl's martial soul was the Sea Serpent.
It allows its master to swim freely in the ocean and breathe freely both underwater and above the surface.
Therefore, the pirate captain decided to personally search for the hidden adversary.
"Yes, sir! Captain is mighty!"
These pirates wouldn't hesitate and become an obstacle.
The reason they respected Purple Pearl was precisely because of her strength.
What others couldn't do, Purple Pearl could accomplish.
That was her power!
Moreover, looking across the entire sea, no one knew the undercurrents better than this woman.
Unless another terrifying sea spirit beast appeared,
there weren't many places to hide, mainly due to human intervention.
Purple Pearl acting alone was much easier than a large group.
Soon, the pirate captain had locked onto his target.
There was no so-called evil spirit beast, but rather an unfamiliar fleet.
Judging from their markings, they weren't from the Spirit Empire or Seagod Island.
Their sails were painted with a sun and a moon,
seemingly the symbol of a powerful force.
However, Purple Pearl only knew about the sea and was unaware of the power distribution on land.
This was a fleet of about 50 small and medium-sized ships.
They had likely encountered the pirate ships by chance and launched an attack.
Of course, this was also a cover; these guys seemed to want no one to know they existed!
On the decks of those ships, Purple Pearl saw one familiar figure after another.
Those were her pirate crewmates, all captured and forced into hard labor!
"Where did these blind fools come from? How dare they kidnap my men!"
Seeing this, Purple Pearl was instantly enraged.
Ignoring the attackers' backgrounds, she drew a dagger and leaped onto one of the larger ships!
Purple Pearl's appearance quickly caused a commotion on the ship.
"It's Captain Purple Pearl! The captain's come to rescue us!"
"Brothers, let's go! Throw these guys into the sea to feed the fish!"
These pirate crew members were only temporarily subdued; given a leader, they could rise up at any time.
Now that Purple Pearl had personally appeared, what was there to say?
The prisoners, who looked like sheep, quickly transformed into a group of thugs.
Taking advantage of the enemy's lapse in attention, they seized three ships.
Good heavens!
What I initially thought was a ragtag bunch of pirates turned out to be surprisingly formidable when united.
However, these weren't ordinary forces; they were the vanguard fleet of the Sun Moon Empire.
Purple Pearl's sneak attack was a resounding success.
But before the three warships had gone far, they were surrounded again.
"You bunch of bastards, what are you doing, fighting and killing on my turf?"
Despite being outnumbered, Purple Pearl remained defiant.
For some reason, the enemy fleet merely surrounded them without actually attacking.
Soon, a flagship arrived.
Standing on the deck was a man completely wrapped in tattered cloth.
Why?
Although she couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Purple Pearl was instantly stunned.
This man gave her a very familiar feeling
, almost a sense of blood connection.
"You, you are, you are my brother?"
After struggling to speak for a while, Purple Pearl blurted out these words unexpectedly.
After she finished speaking, the cloaked man opposite her vanished.
What followed was even more unbelievable.
The fleet that had been surrounding Purple Pearl and her companions began to retreat
, creating an opening and watching helplessly as they disappeared into the distance.
"General, why?"
"That person is my sister, and also the Sect Leader's beloved. Why do you think so?"
Indeed, this cloaked man was no ordinary person.
The reason he spared Purple Pearl's life was because he recognized his sister.
In that great battle, both siblings believed the other was dead.
Yet, years later, they unexpectedly met again by such a twist of fate.
Fate is truly a fascinating thing; no matter how powerful a master you are, you can never truly understand it!
"So that's how it is. Shouldn't we hurry and inform the Sect Leader?"
"Yes, go! You know what to say and what not to say!"
"Understood, General, please rest assured!"
...
On the other side, thanks to Purple Pearl's outstanding performance, the surviving pirates were spared again.
Everyone was even more grateful to this woman!
But along the way, Purple Pearl seemed to have lost her soul, constantly turning her head to look back.
"Captain, do you know that guy in the cloak from before?"
"I don't know, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt very familiar with him!"
"We heard while we were doing hard labor that these guys are from the Sun Moon Continent!"
"Yes, I heard that too. They seem to be here to attack the Douluo Continent!"
These pirates were the most well-informed; they must have encountered the Sun Moon Empire's scouts.
"Stop arguing, let me have some peace and quiet. Go, take the news we received today to the Spirit Empire, keep it a secret!"
Although she suspected that the person she had just encountered was her brother,
Purple Pearl was, after all, Xiao Xue's person, so of course she had to report this sudden event.
Meanwhile, Ye Fei and Bibi Dong were leading their army to conquer the Star Luo Empire.
Xiao Xue and Xiao Wu remained in the palace to oversee the situation.
"What? News from the Purple Pearl? The vanguard of the Sun Moon Empire?"
Clearly, Xiao Xue knew about Yu Xiaogang's secret contact with the Sun Moon Empire.
But she hadn't expected them to take advantage of the Spirit Empire's weakened rear
to launch a diversionary tactic?
What a clever move!
Judging from the information, the Sun Moon Empire's vanguard fleet had already reached the vicinity of Seagod Island.
If they wanted to launch a full-scale attack on the Spirit Empire on the Douluo Continent,
they would only need a maximum of three days' voyage…
