Even the Lin Clan, and even other major financial consortiums, will make other moves because of this matter.

The situation in the East Ring Sea Region will probably undergo significant changes because of today's events.

The sooner we return to Southeast Stone Island, the sooner we can respond to the changes in the situation.

Thinking this, Fang Yu continued to order his ships to accelerate again, heading towards Southeast Stone Island.

...

Just as Fang Yu was leading the Sharp Blade Army back to Southeast Stone Island, offshore, more than a dozen ships were desperately fleeing the East Ring Sea Region, sailing towards the distance.

The person leading them was Zhang Yun, who had previously confronted Fang Yu.

At this moment, Zhang Yun's whole aura was broken, and his ship was full of cracks. Only a dozen of the original fifty-plus warships remained behind him.

In utter disarray.

At this moment, Zhang Yun's eyes looked like those of a wounded stray dog, filled with exhaustion and fear.

What Fang Yu did not know was...

The Divine Hall Alliance Army wasn't just chasing him; even Zhang Yun, who wanted to rely on a Secret Treasure to leave the East Ring Sea Region, was attacked by a powerful Divine Envoy.

At this moment, Zhang Yun's eyes still held a sense of shock, his heart repeatedly recalling the process of encountering that Divine Envoy.

"So strong... so strong... why is it so powerful..."

Zhang Yun's eyes were flustered.

Previously, he used a precious spatial Secret Treasure, intending to safely take his warships out of the East Ring Sea Region.

But who would have thought that this extremely precious spatial Secret Treasure was intercepted by a Divine Envoy during the teleportation process?

That person possessed extremely powerful spatial Alchemy, completely familiar with spatial fluctuations, easily discovering Zhang Yun and his people trying to leave.

Fortunately, only one Divine Envoy discovered them, and there were no other members of the Divine Hall with him.

Zhang Yun fought bitterly with him and finally lost nearly forty warships, barely escaping the influence range of the Divine Hall.

Nine Divine Envoys, each with almost half-step Extraordinary Ship levels of combat power.

And this is still an imperfect state.

If they absorbed Divine Essence and reached perfection, it would be genuine Extraordinary Ship combat power.

Even so, their outburst made Zhang Yun feel terrified.

"It's over... it's over... forty warships lost, gaining nothing, Uncle will never let me go."

At this moment, Zhang Yun's eyes were flustered, and his heart began to panic uncontrollably.

The Zhang Clan has strict rewards and punishments.

Zhang Yun came with more than fifty warships and also activated one of the family's treasures, which was considered a task and resource given to him by the family.

If Zhang Yun had completed the task, it would have been fine; merits and demerits would offset each other, and it wouldn't be too bad.

But at this moment, Zhang Yun not only failed to acquire Divine Essence but also lost more than forty warships.

This is equivalent to wasting a huge resource and opportunity and will be punished by the family.

Thinking of those siblings who had not completed their tasks before, all of them were now sidelined, deprived of resources, almost becoming invisible in the family. The resources they acquired had to be used to cover their own losses and bad debts, making further advancements impossible.

Zhang Yun's heart grew cold.

Once it reached that point, he could never recover, and for years to come, he would bear the debt for the loss of those forty warships.

Zhang Yun's hands and feet grew cold as he feared walking the same path.

"There's still a way; perhaps I should find Cousin Wangyue. He holds a respected position within the consortium, and Uncle is willing to listen to him."

"As long as he pleads for me, Uncle will surely let me off."

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly opened the private chat interface, sending a message to his private chat friend [Zhang Wangyue]:

"Cousin Wangyue, help!"

A moment later, Zhang Wangyue's message came through: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly explained his current predicament to Zhang Wangyue, hoping Zhang Wangyue could help him out of his situation.

"Cousin Wangyue, we grew up together, and our relationship is very good. You should help me, right?"

Zhang Yun felt hopeful.

But what sank his heart was that after a moment's silence, Zhang Wangyue responded with a message:

"This is a mistake you made, and you must bear the responsibility."

This...

Zhang Yun's heart sank to the bottom, almost in despair.

He absolutely didn't expect that Zhang Wangyue, who had been so close to him before, would change after entering this world.

Becoming just like Uncle, both so cold.

But soon, Zhang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing he couldn't just sit and wait for death, needing to seek a solution himself.

"Wait, Cousin Wangyue!"

"I have some information that might interest you."

The other side seemed unwilling to deal with Zhang Yun anymore, not replying to any messages.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun was persistent, sincerely typing out a line:

"You previously asked me to keep an eye on other captains following the Soul Transformation route. Today I happened to find someone else who has also initiated Soul Transformation; perhaps this information will be of help to you."

On the other side, Zhang Wangyue didn't respond, plunging Zhang Yun's heart into an abyss.

He sighed slightly, just about to close the private chat panel.

But at this moment, Zhang Wangyue's avatar lit up again, with Zhang Wangyue sending two words:

"Who is it?"
