Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

"Old Huang, long time no see."

Old Huang was an old man with dark skin and wrinkles all over his face. He was wearing a tattered leather jacket that was shiny with dirt. No one knew how long it had been since he had washed it.

However, even though Old Huang is not good-looking and looks ordinary, Team Leader Xu does not dare to look down on him at all.

This is because Old Huang is the most experienced navigator in the nearby waters.

As long as it is in this sea area, there is no place or thing that Lao Huang doesn't know.

"Captain Xu. Haha, it's been a long time since we last met."

Old Huang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Upon seeing this, Team Leader Xu immediately asked the waiter to bring two glasses of wine.

Old Huang smiled and said, "Captain Xu, thank you very much."

Team Leader Xu waved his hand and said, "Is there any noteworthy news around here recently?"

"Have!"

Old Huang nodded and continued, "I heard that a new group of pirates appeared nearby recently and they are very rampant."

"Many caravans were robbed by them."

When Team Leader Xu heard this, he immediately became interested.

This is what he wanted to ask, so he quickly said:
"Yes, when I came here this time, I saw a piece of wreckage. I guess it was just swept away not long ago."

"what?"

Old Huang was also surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that they would run into him.

"Then you are really lucky. I heard that the pirates' methods were extremely rampant."

"I heard that they would capture people alive, and you can imagine what their fate would be."

After hearing this, Team Leader Xu was not too worried. He was quite confident about the number of experts in their caravan and was not afraid.

However, Captain Xu did not want his caravan to suddenly expose its strength, so he tried his best to avoid that group of pirates.

"If that's the case, then is there any solution? Isn't there any force willing to take action against that group of pirates?"

"How could it not be?"

"The people on this island once spontaneously organized a group of people. They are quite powerful and even have two Divine Transformation cultivators in charge."

"This force is even more powerful than some small sects. Guess what happened?"

"The whole army was wiped out! Not even a single person came back alive. This shows how powerful that group of pirates was."

Team Leader Xu couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

"How could such a powerful group of pirates suddenly appear out of nowhere? There's no news at all."

Old Huang had no idea about this kind of thing, so he could only sigh and say, "Who can understand this? I can only say that you should try to stay on this island for the time being."

"Anyway, the defense of this island is pretty good. That group of pirates shouldn't dare to attack here."

At this time, the waiter also brought up two glasses of wine.

"You two, please use it slowly."

Old Xu took the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass in one breath, then left a few broken spirit stones and left.

The crew has basically purchased all the daily necessities for the second half of the month, and the person in charge handed the summarized list to Team Leader Xu.

"Leader, this time the purchase will cost a lot more spirit stones. The prices of these materials have also increased a lot recently. It seems to be because of the pirates around us."

After taking a look at the contents on the list, Team Leader Xu shook his head and said:
"No, these are not enough. Buy some more."

"I'm afraid this voyage won't be peaceful. We may have to sail for a longer time. There's no place to resupply us along the way."

“If it’s something that can be stored, buy at least one month’s supply.”

"As for the others, buy as many as you can. Money is not a problem."

"Yes."

The person in charge nodded and immediately continued to prepare more supplies.

After returning to the boat, Team Leader Xu informed Yu Changsheng of all the information he had obtained.

"Sir, shall we continue on?"

After some consideration, Yu Changsheng decided to move on.

After all, there is only half a month left in the journey, and even if they really encounter pirates, the power on the ship is enough to deal with them.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you must catch all the pirates in one fell swoop and leave no one alive.

Otherwise, the strength of the ship might be exposed.

This may be the only thing that needs attention.

In this case, the natural choice is to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being involved in subsequent troubles.

Seeing that Yu Changsheng had made up his mind, Team Leader Xu also planned to leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning.

At night, the crew members carried all the purchased supplies onto the ship one after another.

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but frown as he looked at the people coming and going.

So he immediately called Team Leader Xu to ask, "Who are the people traveling on this island?"

Team leader Xu said: "Of course it's a mixed bag."

"Many of them are merchants passing through, and there are also some disciples from the sect who are out on missions. Of course, there are also a small number of pirates from the surrounding areas who hide their identities and come here to buy some supplies."

"But in most cases, they won't cause trouble. After all, this transit point is extremely important for maritime navigation. Even pirates are no exception."

Yu Changsheng was slightly relieved after hearing this, because he saw that many people in this crowd had behavioral characteristics that were not like those of ordinary merchant ship crew members and sect disciples.

More like some pirates.

After hearing Captain Xu say that there would be some pirates here, I realized that I was worrying too much.

"Don't the people here care?"

Team leader Xu said, "Haha, in charge? Who is in charge? There is no real power in charge here. All the forces have united together to build a technical secondary school site here."

"Therefore, naturally, no one would specially send someone to manage this place."

"Most of the time, there is a person jointly nominated by the major chambers of commerce to be responsible for the allocation of supplies here."

"In a place like this, whoever controls the allocation of materials naturally has the final say."

"Therefore, the representative of the Chamber of Commerce is the one with the highest status here."

"But even so, there is not much management here, and most of the time it is still quite relaxed."

"I will only show up when I'm facing some crisis or an extremely vicious fight."

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng stopped asking questions. Anyway, the ship would leave early tomorrow morning, so he didn't plan to care about what happened here. Late at night.

Yu Changsheng was still meditating with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Ding Xuan came in hurriedly and said, "Sir, something seems to be wrong outside."

Yu Changsheng immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

Ding Xuan said: "Something seems to have happened outside. Should we go over and take a look?"

Yu Changsheng immediately went outside and saw that there seemed to be a big conflict on the island, with constant shouting.

Many people even held weapons in their hands and waved them constantly.

Yu Changsheng asked: "Do you know what happened exactly?"

Ding Xuan shook her head and said, "It's not clear yet. I'll go over and take a look."

Yu Changsheng did not stop him, and Ding Xuan immediately got off the boat and went to check the crowd.

I noticed that more and more people were gathering on the island.

Ding Xuan came to one of them and asked, "Brother, what happened here?"

The man said, "It seems someone has killed someone. Two groups of people are facing each other. Hehe, this will be fun to watch."

Seeing this, Ding Xuan squeezed forward again and saw a corpse on the ground. It was covered in blood and it looked like the person had died not long ago.

Both sides of the confrontation seemed to have a lot of manpower.

One of the groups seemed to be wearing uniform clothing from some sect.

Moreover, the leader also looked righteous. He was an old man with white hair and beard, holding a sword in his arms.

Ding Xuan only noticed at this time that the clothes of the corpse on the ground were similar to those of the old man. So it seemed that the old man must be the elder of the sect of the deceased.
Many people around him who were dressed similarly to the old man were also very excited and seemed ready to fight.
However, the people who were confronting these people seemed relatively casual.

The weapons in the hands of many people were quite messy, of all types, and they all had a frivolous smile on their faces, not taking the human life seriously at all.

From Ding Xuan's perspective, these people could definitely not be sect disciples or caravan members, but more like a group of pirates.

Ding Xuan had seen pirates before, and had worked with other members of the Xie family to fight against some small pirate forces. She had seen how hateful these guys were.

And these people in front of him were exactly the same as the pirates Ding Xuan had seen before.

"Humph! How dare you kill people in the street? Don't you take our Tianyun Sect seriously?"

Among the group of pirates on the opposite side, a bearded man also burst into laughter.

"What is Tianyun Sect? Where did this third-rate small sect come from? I've never heard of it."

"This guy is looking for death. He forced us to do it ourselves. If he dies, then he dies. He deserves it."

After hearing this, the people from Tianyun Sect were so angry that their faces turned red.

"Uncle, these guys are simply too much. Let's fight them and avenge our brother!"

"That's right. If we fight them, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be destroyed."

"We must avenge our Sixth Junior Brother!"

The disciples were all excited.
The middle-aged man in the lead also frowned after hearing this.

It’s not that he doesn’t want revenge, but the other side has more people and is obviously stronger than his side.

If he really wanted to take action, it would not just be this one disciple who would die.

Perhaps all the dozen or so disciples brought by the Tianyun Sect will die here.

Other young disciples can be impulsive, but he cannot.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in the lead could only make the matter as big as possible to attract the attention of the local Chamber of Commerce in order to calm the matter down.

The pirates on the other side continued to taunt them, seemingly intending to escalate the situation and force the Tianyun Sect disciples to take action.
Each of them used various provocative means.
Seeing this, Ding Xuan immediately told Yu Changsheng the news of this place.
"Sir, it looks like those pirates are deliberately provoking. A disciple of the Tianyun Sect was also killed. It looks like things won't stop there."

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but frown after hearing this. They had stayed here for a night and didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Yu Changsheng immediately asked Team Leader Xu to come over and inquire about the situation.
"Captain Xu, has this kind of thing happened often here before?"

Leader Xu nodded and said, "The people coming and going here are a mixed bunch, many of them pirates and fugitives. This type of conflict was very common before."

"There are even cases where people have died, and that is not uncommon."

Yu Changsheng asked: "How did you deal with such things before?"

Team Leader Xu sighed, "Alas, I have said before that although there are many representatives of the Chamber of Commerce responsible for maintaining a certain order here, they rarely get involved in these matters."

"As long as the incident doesn't become too serious and disturb the entire island, and only a few people died, it is unlikely to attract the attention of the Chamber of Commerce representatives here."

"Most of the time, the matter ended up in nothing, or they found ways to take revenge on their own. Anyway, the Chamber of Commerce representatives here don't follow any rules."

Seeing this situation, Yu Changsheng decided not to get involved in the matter any further.

So he immediately told Ding Xuan: "Make sure to keep a close eye on our people and don't let anyone interfere. If anyone goes to watch the fun, call them back as soon as possible."

"Leave this place tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

Ding Xuan nodded, checked the number of people on board, and then called back some of the crew members who were out.

At the bow, Yu Changsheng was still watching the situation on the island.

Although I can't see clearly, I can still feel that the situation seems to be getting more and more intense.

"Hey, what happened?"

"Why don't you let us go and see it?"

"That's right, we are not allowed to get involved in such a lively event."

"You manage the heavens and the earth, but do you still care about us watching the fun?"

"It's just too much time to spare."

Many crew members were called over cursing, and in the face of these dissatisfactions, Yu Changsheng did not give much explanation.

Soon after everyone came up, they heard bursts of shouting and fighting.

In an instant, the entire island was in chaos.

Many people hurriedly flew away from the island, but under another burst of sword light, many figures in the sky fell instantly and landed in the sea without any movement.

At what moment, flames shot up into the sky and blood filled the air.

Many people no longer had the heart to watch the fun and fled in all directions.

Those pirates seemed to have planned it in advance. Many pirate ships appeared around at some point.

The pirates quickly gathered around, and many of them were holding swords, surrounding the entire island.

During this time, the people on the island realized that there were so many pirates on the island without knowing when. (End of this chapter)
