at this time.

The Rosicrucians, disguised as cruise ship passengers, members of the International Security Bureau, and members of the vampire clan all arrived outside the cockpit, sensing the danger there.

Upon hearing that his companion had succeeded, the member of the Rosicrucian Cross immediately stepped forward to protect Yan Jiu without saying a word.

The captain's attack sent the people with the rose cross flying.

Yan Jiu, who was being protected, didn't budge an inch. She feigned concern and asked, "Are you alright?"

The man with the Rosicrucian Cross shook his head: "It has heart-protecting scales."

The purpose of capturing merfolk was to create heart-protecting scales to withstand attacks from the captain of Noah's Ark.

They made so many preparations, all for the sake of seizing the Yin-Yang Mirror that kept Noah's Ark running. They were confident that outsiders wouldn't know there was a treasure on the ship, so Yan Jiu, who could snatch the Yin-Yang Mirror, must be their comrade.

Even if the members of the Rose Cross don't know how Yan Jiu obtained the mirror, it doesn't affect their ability to protect her.

Yan Jiu secretly praised the captain repeatedly, admiring him greatly. The captain was indeed worthy of being called a captain, as he had managed to get the Rose Cross to prepare so much life-saving equipment in advance.

The people from the Rosicrucian Cross urged Yan Jiu to hurry up and escape with the mirror: "You go quickly, I'll cover you!"

Yan Jiu shook her head: "No, the others haven't found the cockpit yet, I can't leave you to deal with them alone."

Upon hearing this, the member of the Rosicrucian Cross almost burst into tears, knowing that few among them shared the same fate. He immediately took out the Heart-Protecting Scale and placed it in Yan Jiu's hand.

They treated Yan Jiu as one of their own.

"Listen, besides the magical artifacts such as the Soul-Summoning Banner, the Compass, and the Spirit-Communicating Umbrella, only the Yin-Yang Mirror can search for souls."

"You must ensure that you bring the treasure back to Commander Rahu without any mishaps. Finding the king depends on you."

Yan Jiu listened attentively, even more so than when she was learning magic. After confirming that the people of the Rose Cross had nothing more to say, Yan Jiu carefully put away the Heart-Protecting Scale and then left satisfied.

"Brother, go ahead without worry!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Yan Jiu turned and ran away without looking back.

I must admit that Master Jiu's actions were a bit wild.

[The person upstairs is probably trying to call it a shady tactic.]

Those who truly understand me are my online friends!

[Master Jiu has gained a lot from this trip.]

The captain, his eyes bloodshot, grabbed the man with the Rosicrucian cross by the neck: "Stop him! He'll die!"

Yan Jiu skillfully evaded the attacks.

Even when she turned off the live stream, she could still exchange glances with people from the International Security Bureau and the vampires.

The International Security Bureau personnel who learned from their companions that Yan Jiu had been live-streaming the entire event: "..." As expected of you!

The vampires looked bewildered. She hadn't yet made the deal to allow the vampires to regain their Embrace power. Suddenly, chaos erupted at the scene. Should she leave or stay?

At that time.

Yan Jiu flashed to the fourth floor.

She shed her first mate disguise.

He randomly knocked out a wealthy passenger and impersonated him to join the crowd of onlookers.

The huge commotion in the cockpit attracted the attention of everyone inside the ship, and they all rushed to the deck to see what was happening.

Yan Jiu glanced at the chaotic fight, and, following the crew's advice, pretended to be sent back to her room.

Just as Yan Jiu was about to close the door.

She sensed a powerful aura.

That is the same power as the array in the Northwest Tulan Tomb, and it belongs to Wu Jiu.

Yan Jiu frowned and remained silent.

She finally understood why the spell had become familiar to her; it was something left behind by Wu Jiu.

Yan Jiu decisively abandoned her concealment and continued to impersonate a member of the Rose Cross, joining the ranks of those going against the tide.

The cockpit was decimated with casualties.

The sound of a sharp weapon tearing through human flesh mingled with the sound of blood dripping onto the ground.

It was as if the Grim Reaper had tolled his death knell.

The railings, made of piled-up corpses, stood tall, with the crazed captain atop them.

The captain no longer concealed his inner rage; he wanted death to engulf the entire Noah's Ark.

"Greedy humans have stolen the medicine given to us by the Creator. Kill everyone and take back the medicine!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

The crew members, like addicts, frantically hunted down and killed those around them, all while the International Security Bureau turned a blind eye.

Yan Jiu cast a spell to immobilize the target.

It interrupted the captain's madness.

The captain spotted Yan Jiu in the crowd: "Would you risk exposing yourself just to save foolish humans?"

Yan Jiu wagged her index finger: "You don't understand. There are so many lives at stake. If I don't save them, Master and Senior Brother will say I didn't clean up the mess properly and make me copy the Heart Sutra."

She knew that even without her stealing the Yin-Yang Mirror and driving the captain mad, the people on board would have died from greed.

But no matter how many of these people die, they can't die in front of her. Since she has seen them, she might as well take action. Most importantly, she wants to leave herself some space to stand firm.

The blood all over the place was disgusting.

The captain frowned: "Who exactly are you?"

To his knowledge, no one on the mainland could freeze the entire ship in place by themselves.

Yan Jiu landed not far from the captain.

Her gaze fell upon the black runes flowing across the captain's exposed skin.

The runes exuded the aura of Wu Jiu's power.

The captain, who caused great harm, was connected to Wu Jiu.

Yan Jiu frowned: "I'd like to ask you, who drew the curse on you?"

The captain sneered, "You're not qualified to know..."

Yan Jiu went up to the captain and kicked him. As the captain was thrown into the air by the force, Yan Jiu teleported above the captain and stomped down on him.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Jiu and the captain were in different positions, one standing and the other lying down.

Yan Jiu didn't want to solve the Noah's Ark problem through fighting, but now she had no choice.

She extended her fingers toward the captain.
