On the surface of the sea, the ship sailed steadily onward. But as it passed through a bank of sea mist, a dark figure silently dropped into the water and vanished without a trace.
A tall man came out onto the deck, surveying his surroundings.
Once he was certain nothing was amiss, he took off his black robe.
He was a burly, middle-aged man.
His body was covered in numerous runes.
His Qi and Blood resonated with the runes, causing them to glow brilliantly.
His gaze was as sharp as a general seasoned by countless battles.
A powerful aura began to radiate from him, causing the weaker Demon Beasts in the vicinity to flee in a panic.
He circulated his Spiritual Qi, and the ship began to move swiftly.
After making a full circle of the area, the ship returned to the Central Island.
As it entered the harbor, someone was already there to greet him.
"Steward Chen, was there anything unusual?" a man in his early thirties asked respectfully.
