“Gongzi, are you going to impersonate him?” Shannu smiled and asked.
Gu Qing Shan looked at Wang Cheng’s corpse and scowled: “Many people were involved in his ambush here, so if I simply leave right now, quite a few problems would occur that will be troublesome to deal with”
“Then what should we do?” Shannu asked.
“Can’t you help me think of something?” Gu Qing Shan asked her back.
“Gongzi, you jest, such a complicated topic should, of course, be solved by you”
“What about you?”
“I’m only a sword, I’ll do whatever gongzi orders me to”
“…hah”
“Why do you sigh, gongzi?”
“It’s nothing, I’m just a bit mentally fatigued…”
The commotion outside the shuttle’s wreck became louder.
“Gongzi, you need to think of something quick, otherwise we can only slash open a path”
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Shannu’s calm and casual demeanor and thought of an idea.
“Shannu, you use the [Mystery] and turn into Wang Cheng”
“Ah? What about gongzi?”
“I’ll just be myself”
Shannu thought briefly and spoke: “I understand, gongzi wants to use your status as a member of the Justice Iron Fist Club to act like you’re protecting Wang Cheng”
“That’s not it” Gu Qing Shan smiled, “right now Barry and Kitty are still watching over my world, I won’t be able to call them here”
“But shouldn’t the name of the Iron Fist Club itself be more than enough to deal with this minor situation?” Shannu casually smiled and told him.
Gu Qing Shan took out his jet-black Shen Wei General armor, fully equipping it before putting the golden mask on.
His face disappeared behind the mask.
It was now that he told her: “Shannu, we might be able to rely on others sometimes, but most of the time, you’ll find that you can only rely on yourself”
“Why?”
“Barry has many enemies before his leg was fully healed, he couldn’t even step out for a single second and I’m currently within an unknown situation without the strength to back my claim up”
“Anyone that can be his enemy must be very strong, so if I use the name of the Club right now, those enemies will likely use me as a substitute to unleash their grudge, and they won’t even need to cause a commotion to do it”
“That’s why, don’t trust a renowned reputation to always bring you good things, because sometimes it can instead pull you into a greater spiral of danger instead”
“I understand, then what should we do now?”
Shannu was now very confused.
Gu Qing Shan answered: “If Wang Cheng was a Devil Summoner, I’ll now become the Devil that took his soul”
…
A few minutes later.
Outside of the wreck.
All scavenger members had returned.
On the path that led into the main ship, five muscular men were shouting and warning the scavengers to report and turn in what they found in the wreck without any tricks.
The leader of these men was a completely green man with a body that looked like it was made from solid rocks.
He was the second mate of the ship, a powerful Combatant that was completely loyal to the captain, so after the previous second mate was eaten by a void monster, he got to take the position.

At this point, he was a bit annoyed as he told the two next to him: “Go and take a look at why the bunch on the second wreck haven’t gotten out yet”
“Brother Yan, it’s that thing…” his subordinate whispered.
The second mate scowled: “I know the reason, but we can’t delay for too long. Boss doesn’t care about the life of some nobody, but if we’re too slow and make him wait, he WILL be angry—— go give Zhang Yi a hand”
“Gotcha”
The subordinate answered as killing intent flashed from his eyes.
He nodded to two of his colleagues and prepared to go towards the second wreck.
At the same time.
Bam!
With a loud ‘thud’, the second wreck’s door was kicked open.
Wang Cheng came out with a man wearing jet black armor and a golden mask in tow.
“Wang Cheng!”
Someone shouted from surprise.
“Hm, it’s me, why are you all so surprised?” Wang Cheng casually spoke.
Without waiting for his subordinates to say anything, the second mate stepped out in front of everyone and approached him.
“Wang Cheng, where is your wife and Zhang Yi?” he asked in a low voice.
“Dead” Wang Cheng’s tone carried a sense of indifference and coldness.
The second mate was briefly surprised.
But he reacted quickly.
I’m not sure how much Wang Cheng knows about this.
But if Wang Cheng heard something from Zhang Yi, he will definitely go find the captain.
In order words, I must eliminate Wang Cheng right here, otherwise, the captain will know that my people here were bribed by Zhang Yi to ambush him!
The second mate smirked and signaled with his hand: “Dead? According to the rules of the ship, killing your shipmates means death, all of you, kill him!”
With his order, the group all charged at Wang Cheng.
They already saw the situation clearly with the second mate’s signal.
He wanted to take Wang Cheng’s life!
And they didn’t even need to think to know who they should side with in this situation.
The second mate’s subordinates as well as the other groups of scavengers all attacked at once, preparing to take Wang Cheng’s life.
They came from all directions.

They had Wang Cheng surrounded, 360 degrees without a dead spot.
Wang Cheng smirked but didn’t move.
The black-armored man next to him drew his sword.
The sword bypassed Wang Cheng while a cold, thin arc was drawn in the air.
Everyone had the same thought.
—–what is he doing?
At the very next second,
Weapons fell,
Incantations stopped,
Spells faded,
Fists stopped moving.
All of their attacks were halted on their way.
Everyone noticed that they have all lost control over their bodies, frozen in place without being able to move.
Being experienced, the second mate had immediately transformed and turned into a large rock monster.
Kih!
As the Chao Yin sword slashed him from far, the arc of lightning that it carried was diffused.
Gu Qing Shan was slightly surprised.
So the other party is able to instantly turn into rock.
Rocks aren’t naturally afraid of lightning, and they aren’t considered to be living beings, so he managed to dodge the combo attack of [Life Seeker] and [Severance].
How rare for this to happen.
However, the others weren’t as lucky.
They all fell to the ground and fainted.
Gu Qing Shan purposefully didn’t kill them, but only knocked them out.
As for the second mate——–
Gu Qing Shan chuckled: “What an interesting form, it really does open one’s eyes”
He raised his sword.
The second strike won’t be so simple.
All of a sudden, a loud, hoarse voice shouted:
“Stop!”
—–hoh!
An intense wall of wind was raised, quickly separating Gu Qing Shan from the others.
A man wearing a captain’s hat stood across from Gu Qing Shan.
He has greasy, long hair combed all the way back, a hooked nose and a pair of thin sharp eyes that stared straight at him.
Gu Qing Shan recognized this man.
Through Wang Cheng’s memories, he knew this man was the ship’s captain, as well as the one everyone called ‘Boss’.
The captain scowled as he glanced at the knocked out men on the ground and grunted: “Wang Cheng, what is the meaning of this?”
Wang Cheng coldly replied: “They wanted to kill me, so I retaliated”
The captain took another glance to see that none of them were wounded and calmed down a bit.
He pointed at Gu Qing Shan and asked: “Who’s this guy?”
“Boss, I’m a Devil Summoner, of course he’s the devil that I summoned” Wang Cheng answered.
The captain looked behind him.
Among his dozen or so subordinates, one of them stepped out and whispered to the captain: “That is a devil, and a Devil King as well”
The second mate took this chance to turn back into humanoid form and loudly declared: “Boss, Wang Cheng summoned a devil and killed both his wife and Zhang Yi, he violated the ship’s rules!”
“Boss, not only did he violate the rules, he refused to admit it, so I ordered everyone to catch him” while explaining himself, the second mate looked at Wang Cheng and Gu Qing Shan with a grudgeful gaze.
Damn it!
Where did Wang Cheng manage to summon a devil and such a powerful one as well!
He shouldn’t have been able to…
The captain’s aura changed.
“Wang Cheng, the rules have been established from the very start, no one can kill their shipmates, you dare to violate my rules?” he spoke in a threatening tone.
Wang Cheng suddenly laughed and spoke: “Boss, they wanted to kill me first, I was only defending myself”
The captain froze.
He suddenly realized that this matter wasn’t as simple as he thought.
The entire ship was currently watching them, if he couldn’t resolve it fairly, a lot of things could go wrong later on.
“Damn it, Wang Cheng” the captain cursed, “whether it’s you or anyone else, if they dare to pull the wool over my eyes, I’ll guarantee they’re going to end in the most terrible way”
He reached into his chest pocket and took out a small black bell.
“Wang Cheng, tell me everything again. I’ll remind you to not lie, otherwise, the Funeral Bell will ring and I swear I’ll make you regret it”
“Naturally” Wang Cheng casually said: “That bitch Bai Yu had an affair with Zhang Yi, bribed a lot of people to cover for them while they scheme to get rid of her husband, that’s all there is”
The captain looked at the black bell in his hand.
It didn’t ring.
The captain relaxed slightly.
So it was the truth, Wang Cheng killed them out of self-defense.
The captain fell into thought.
If it was self-defense, he didn’t violate the rules.
“Very well, if it was a misunderstanding, we’ll wrap things up here” the captain declared.
Suddenly, the devil standing by Wang Cheng suddenly laughed in a sharp but short tone.
This laugh was grating to the ears, causing everyone to feel slightly uncomfortable.
It was now that they remembered that there was a powerful summoned devil standing next to Wang Cheng.
This devil managed to knock out over a dozen people at once, if it weren’t for Wang Cheng, they might have actually died instead.
Seems like this was Wang Cheng’s true ace in the hole.
How ridiculous of Bai Yu and Zhang Yi to attempt to kill him without even finding out about this guy beforehand.
“Captain, my devil has something to tell you” Wang Cheng spoke.
“What is it?” the captain asked in a solemn tone.
“It said, just now the second mate tried to kill me, will the captain also let the second mate say a few words as well?”
