Stay or go?
Fang Yu didn't rush to give orders; instead, he planned to first ask Wang Yuanwei about the situation on the Sin Domain battleground.
He always felt that these Blue Star Captains mysteriously disappeared and that it must be related to the Sin Domain battleground.
Fortunately, Fang Yu learned from past lessons, and before setting sail this time, he proactively placed a crew member at Qiyun Port as a "remote phone."
At this moment, Fang Yu said nothing more and directly contacted Wang Yuanwei through that crew member.
"Captain, Wang Yuanwei said that currently there are many Ocean Court enforcement personnel and assistants outside the Sin Domain battleground to prevent anyone from using external forces to release the Evil Alchemist within the Sin Domain."
"And on the seas outside the Sin Domain, it seems that Meat Mountains are gradually forming and appearing."
"However, the Meat Mountains on the Sin Domain battleground are much stronger than the ones here in the East Ring Sea Region in terms of power level and suppression capability on ships."
"The Meat Mountains seem restless, but there are no particularly obvious anomalies, and they don't have any intention to attack. It appears that the escaped Evil Alchemist is still gathering strength."
The crew member spoke to Fang Yu through the panel's private chat function from afar.
"The Meat Mountains in the Sin Domain have no obvious intention to attack?"
Fang Yu murmured and then continued asking: "Is the escaped Evil Alchemist still on the Sin Domain battleground?"
After Fang Yu sent his words, a few minutes passed before the crew member replied: "Wang Yuanwei said that early this morning, someone saw the Evil Alchemist appearing outside the Sin Domain battleground. He seems to be observing the guard forces outside the Sin Domain without rushing to attack."
"The Evil Alchemist appeared outside the Sin Domain battleground today?"
Fang Yu was surprised.
That means the disappearance of those Captains wasn't done by that mysterious Alchemist?
Given he's on the Sin Domain battleground, he absolutely couldn't have crossed thousands of nautical miles in a few hours to appear in the East Ring Sea Region and cause the disappearance of over two thousand Blue Star Captains.
So, in this East Ring Sea Region, a secret is hidden?
Fang Yu's eyes narrowed, and without saying a word, he prepared to issue the order to return.
Facing unknown dangers, it is better to be cautious and not to probe recklessly.
Although yesterday during the day, entering this sea seemed quite safe, with no other dangers besides bloodstone ships and evil beasts.
But, with two thousand ships already vanished, no one can guarantee what hidden dangers are in the East Ring Sea Region, leading Fang Yu to decisively abandon continuing to kill bloodstone ships, and first return to Qiyun Port to settle the Alchemist's inheritance fragments, and then speak again.
"Salted Fish! Return!"
"Alright!"
All the crew couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; each one instantly joyfully began preparations aboard Salted Fish.
After a while, Fang Yu greeted the still conflicted Shi Jun and then started Salted Fish heading back towards Qiyun Port.
...
"Two thousand ships; this is not a small number, I reckon some official organizations will have to come and investigate this matter."
"Do you think if Warship Level boats or even Level 50 Extraordinary Ships came to the East Ring Sea Region, would they also disappear as they did before?"
"Warship Level possibly, but Extraordinary Ships absolutely not; I've heard Extraordinary Ships have already touched some special domains, reaching this level of ship, it's no longer considered a regular ship."
Along the way, due to Fang Yu's decision, the crew slightly relaxed, starting quiet discussions.
"It's good the Captain decided to return to Qiyun Port first; only after this thing is investigated thoroughly will we know if we can continue with this mission."
As the crew spoke, they subconsciously turned their gaze towards Fang Yu.
However, in everyone's gaze, Fang Yu's eyes showed a slight seriousness.
He seriously scanned the surroundings continually, then lifted his head to look towards Wang Qing on the lookout, loudly asking: "Wang Qing, have you noticed any abnormalities?"
Hearing Fang Yu's words, all the crew were startled, one by one looking towards the top at Wang Qing.
What's happening?
Is there an enemy attack?
But above, Wang Qing was currently bewildered; he looked carefully through binoculars towards the distance, turning several directions, and then helplessly turned to Fang Yu: "Captain, I haven't noticed any abnormalities, not a single ship around, where is... eh?"
At this moment, Wang Qing suddenly widened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in his gaze.
"Yes, where are the surrounding ships?!"
Upon hearing Wang Qing's words, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze towards the surroundings, and a bit of astonishment simultaneously flashed in their eyes.
Yes! How come as we walked, there's not a single ship around?
It should be noted that this time heading back to Qiyun Port, it wasn't just Salted Fish, but other Captains also decided to return to Qiyun Port.
Logically, during the journey, they should frequently encounter other Captains sailing on the route.
Yet now, it's completely empty all around, not even a single ship can be seen.
If it's just not visible to the naked eye, it could be acceptable.
But Wang Qing, with his Extraordinary Ability and telescope, could observe the situation within a range of nearly a hundred nautical miles.
