The enigmatic Black Pearl had appeared only three times, and each appearance brought with it devastating power, an invincible force of nature.
Now, it had descended upon the Great Xia Empire once more.
And Chu He had publicly announced that he would personally confront this Ship of Evil Spirits, promising to livestream the entire spectacle.
In Xiao Cangqing's eyes, this was nothing but Chu He's arrogance, a suicidal act.
He knew the terror of the Black Pearl all too well. During its previous two appearances, even the combined might of the entire nation had failed to defeat it.
It made all of humanity, strong and weak alike, seem utterly fragile.
He recalled the past. Every appearance of the Black Pearl had been a catastrophe for humankind.
And this time, perhaps, it would be the end of Chu He.
There was no direct conflict or hatred between Xiao Cangqing and Chu He; in fact, they had never even met.
