Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 506 Chen Jie: Is this treasure comparable to a terrestrial immortal?
In the Nanyang region, there are dozens of small countries, and these small countries often need to use their national resources to support one or two strong people to serve as the country's guardian deity, which is the profession of national advisor.

Because these small countries in Southeast Asia had very weak domestic trade, they needed to enter the ocean to develop.

Once they entered the ocean, they inevitably had to deal with pirates. Originally, they were just engaging in simple trade, but after being robbed by pirates, they suffered huge losses and had no choice but to try to make up for it.

Therefore, they would often use the full resources of the nation to cultivate one or two top-tier pirate crews, thus beginning their path of maritime plunder.

This is the prototype of these state-sponsored pirates, and then there was Fang Guozhen.

After leaving the Zoroastrian Church, Fang Guozhen didn't want to get involved in the messy affairs of people on land, especially since he had conflicts with his two good brothers, Han Shantong and Peng Yingyu. So Fang Guozhen decided to develop his career directly in the ocean.

He also joined the plundering of maritime trade in the South China Sea. Because Fang Guozhen was too powerful, no pirate group was his match. Therefore, he directly became the leader of the Thirteen Pirate Groups of the South China Sea.

They established numerous pirate rules, such as allowing merchant ships that had been operating in the South China Sea to fly flags, and stipulating that all pirate groups could only rob twice, with each robbery not exceeding one-twentieth of the total value of the goods, thus creating a long-term sustainable development strategy.

This is the pirate code established by Fang Guozhen, which all pirate groups, large and small, in the South China Sea must abide by.

The reason these pirate groups came to Qianlong Abyss to fish for dragons was because Fang Guozhen had mentioned it briefly before.

This gathering was indeed convened by the Kingdom of Siam, but it was done under the banner of Fang Guozhen. It should be noted that Fang Guozhen had a very good relationship with the Kingdom of Siam in the past.

King Na Xuan of Siam was also one of Fang Guozhen's friends, so when Na Xuan gathered his men, no one was too surprised. However, now that they had arrived, Na Xuan was actually giving orders, which made Li Bona, the one-eyed tiger of Zhenla, very unhappy.

After all, he and Na Xuan were Fang Guozhen's right-hand men. Now you're doing this to me and starting to order me around. Of course I'm not willing to do that.

Thinking this, Libona looked at King Wuping and said, "Naxuan, where is Boss Fang? Didn't you say that Boss Fang told us to come here to fish for dragons?"

Upon hearing Li Bona's words, King Wuping frowned slightly and said, "Brother Fang was delayed by something. Let us fish for the dragon ourselves."

"Ourselves?"

Li Bona said, "The affairs of the South China Sea are all decided by Boss Fang. What if Boss Fang finds out that we're fishing for dragons? How do we explain it?"

Upon hearing Li Bona's words, the other pirate captains also looked at King Wuping. King Wuping was silent for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Boss Fang can't come anymore, he'll never come again, and we'll never see his shadow in the entire South China Sea again."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, the entire pirate crew was even more astonished, looking at King Wuping and saying, "What are you saying? Boss Fang can't come? How is that possible!"

At this moment, King Wuping said, "Alright, stop pretending you don't know anything. You all know about the coup in our Siam. Boss Fang has been imprisoned in our Siam's Demon-Trapping Formation."

"No one who went in there ever came out. That was a great formation set up by Bodhidharma. Therefore, Fang Guozhen will no longer exist in the South China Sea!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was completely dumbfounded, looking at King Wuping and saying, "This, how is this possible? Boss Fang is so powerful!"

Everyone was stunned. King Wuping remained silent, waiting for everyone to process what had happened.

After a while, Prince Wuping looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you have anything else to say now?"

Hearing this, it was Li Bona who spoke up: "Is Boss Fang really not going to get out?"

Upon hearing this, King Wuping said, "The Demon-Trapping Formation has been in place for a thousand years. Only one person has escaped from it, and that was two hundred years ago. Moreover, it took him a full twenty years to escape."

"So even if Boss Fang is truly a gifted individual and manages to escape, it will be twenty years from now. And who knows what will happen to this ocean in twenty years!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Following closely behind, King Wuping said, "Moreover, we can fish for dragons now that we're all gathered together. If we can really catch that dragon and get a share of its dragon source, it will be enough to help us raise our power several levels and enter the second or third stage of the Fusion God realm. At that time, it's hard to say who will be the boss of the South China Sea!"

"Therefore, I will not force anyone. Those who wish to stay and fish for dragons and share in the dragon's resources can stay, and those who do not wish to can leave now."

"Of course, if anyone wants to avenge Boss Fang, then please bring it on. Our Giant Elephant Pirate Crew will take you on."

King Wuping looked at everyone calmly, his intentions clear: whatever your ideas are, you can now implement them.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke up: "We've come all this way to Hidden Dragon Abyss, what would be the point of coming if we didn't fish for a dragon?"

Upon hearing this, one person said, "What Boss Na Xuan said earlier is right. With the Dragon Source, our strength can be increased by several levels. At that time, it is not certain who will be in charge of the South China Sea. I will stay."

"I'll stay too."

Upon hearing this, the group spoke up in unison, all expressing their desire to stay.

Finally, King Wuping looked at Li Bona, the Zhenla national advisor who had always been at odds with him, and asked, "And you?"

"To leave, to stay, or to become enemies?"

King Wuping looked at Li Bona, who paused for a moment after hearing this and then said, "Now that you have the Dragon Source, how do you plan to divide it?"

Upon hearing this, King Wuping laughed and said, "How to divide it? It's very simple. We'll divide it according to our strength. There are ten portions in total. You and I will each take two portions, the other two captains who have reached the zero-turn of the Melting God realm will each take one portion, and the remaining four portions will be distributed among the pirate crew. Those who don't want them can exchange them for items of equal value. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Libona thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then."

Prince Wuping smiled slightly and said, "You won't regret the decision you made today."

Libona said, "Don't try anything funny, or I won't let you get away with it."

King Wuping laughed and said, "Don't worry, I never scheme."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, their eyes fixed on the depths of the sea, some distance from the dragon's lair.

They had to keep going to get close to the dragon's lair.

At this moment, King Wuping said, "To show my sincerity, my Giant Elephant Pirate Crew will lead the way, and you can follow behind."

Upon hearing this, everyone had no more doubts. Everyone knew that opening a road was extremely dangerous. Since the other party was willing to open a road, it meant that they probably really didn't have any ulterior motives involved.

Thinking of this, the captains all said, "We will follow Boss Na Xuan's lead."

Following closely behind, all the captains left Na Xuan's warship, and watched as the captains departed.

At this moment, a man in black robes appeared at the bow of the Na Xuan ship. Upon seeing this man in black robes, Chen Jie saw all the women beside him kneel down.

"Owner!"

The man in black robes didn't even glance at the women, but instead walked step by step to Na Xuan's side and asked, "Is the matter settled?"

King Wuping said, "Yes, they all agree to go dragon fishing."

"Heh, a bunch of fools. Fishing for dragons? They think they can catch dragons?"

Upon hearing this, King Wuping asked, "Grand Preceptor, are you sure our ship will be alright?"

The man in black robes said, "Hehe, don't worry, the stones tied to the bottom of our ship are the Demon-Binding Stones left behind by Bodhidharma. According to historical records, the dragon dares not touch anything with Demon-Binding Stones on it."

King Wuping nodded slightly and said, "That's good. Otherwise, going to fish for dragons so rashly would be tantamount to suicide."

"But Grand Preceptor, are you sure there is divine blood in that dragon's lair?"

"Hehe, there's no mistake. The reason that beast was able to grow so huge and possess such great power is inseparable from that divine blood."

Upon hearing this, King Wuping asked again, "Is the blood of the immortals really as you say, that a single drop can exert power close to that of a terrestrial immortal?"

The Imperial Preceptor said, "There's no mistake. You don't believe me, but you don't believe Bodhidharma's handwritten letter either?"

King Wuping: "No, I'm just a little surprised. If it's really as the letter says, this divine blood is terrifying. A single drop of blood can unleash power close to that of a terrestrial deity. Then we can completely use this power to unify the entire South Seas."

The Imperial Advisor said, "Hehe, of course, and the unification of Southeast Asia can be accomplished even without divine blood."

"These thirteen pirate groups are the elite forces of the entire Southeast Asia. If they are all wiped out in the Dragon Sky of Hidden Dragon Abyss, and then Siam sends troops to various countries, I don't believe they will still have the strength to resist our heavenly army."

"This divine blood was actually prepared for the unification of Southeast Asia. Our vast empire in the north would never allow the southern countries to form a force that could rival them."

"They will definitely come to invade then, even though there are 100,000 mountains in between us, plus the natural barrier of the ocean."

"But we must be on guard, and they also have two terrestrial immortals there. We must have enough power to contend with them."

"This divine blood is the only way to deal with them!"

As the man in black robes spoke, King Wuping said, "The Grand Preceptor is indeed insightful; he can already think about what will happen after unification."

The Grand Preceptor suddenly looked up and said, “Our Siam has always been a vassal state of that northern country, paying tribute and submitting to it year after year. Why should I unify Southeast Asia and then use all the troops in Southeast Asia to invade that ancient northern country, seize their land, and enslave their people? That is what we should be planning.”

King Wuping said, "The Grand Preceptor has great courage. I have long disliked that ancient kingdom."

As the two were talking, the black-robed imperial advisor said, "Alright, it's time to set sail. Don't let them become suspicious."

King Wuping nodded, and the black-robed national advisor looked at the many female slaves kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed and said, "Go, set sail and follow."

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this, the group of female slaves nodded in agreement and then walked away, preparing to leave in their small boat.

At this moment, the black-robed national advisor looked at the departing woman, his brows furrowing slightly. What was going on? Why did he feel a different aura mixed among them just now?
The Imperial Advisor frowned slightly, but the group of women had already left. At this moment, Prince Wuping shouted, "Set sail! Begin our voyage!"

woo woo woo...

The horn sounded, and then Wu Pingwang's large ship sailed directly into the distance.

Following closely behind were the ships that were being used as convoys, and then the ships of the various pirate groups, all of which began to set sail.

The ships rolled away, and watching the fleet disappear into the distance, Chen Jie and the many women in black robes returned to their slave transport ship.

The next moment, the entire sea was a scene of countless boats racing. Whoosh...

After Chen Jie returned, he heard Zhao Yin, the leader of the women in black robes, say, "Start the boat and follow."

And so, the fleet sailed for more than an hour and finally arrived at the deepest part of Qianlong Abyss. This was an area that seemed to stretch to the horizon. Only on the sea not far away were three reefs arranged in a triangle, with only the heads of the three reefs visible above the water.

At this moment, Wu Pingwang and his men's ship sailed into the inner area of ​​the triangular head of the reef.

The place was vast, and all the ships were in position. At this moment, King Wuping used flag signals to notify the various fleets behind him that they were ready and were about to begin the sacrificial ceremony.

Upon seeing the flag signal, all the ships began to dock. Immediately afterward, the captains gave orders to prepare all the cannons, harpoons, and all other offensive weapons on board.

The captains stood at the bow of their ships, watching as the slave ships slowly approached the center of the triangular area.

There were two slave ships in total.

At this moment, the person in charge of the two slave ships, namely the black-robed woman Zhao Yin, waved her hand and said, "Prepare the sacrificial offerings."

Upon hearing this, all the women in black robes then used black magic to control the offerings.

At this moment, on the ship of King Wuping, King Wuping raised his large sword, and the drummers on the ship began to beat the drums wildly.

dong dong dong...

Following the drumbeats came the long, drawn-out sound of bull horns.

woo woo woo...

Suddenly, the entire quiet sea area began to stir.

When the drums sounded and the horns blared, King Wuping raised his broadsword and gently pressed it down.

In an instant, the black-robed woman Zhao Yin spoke up: "Draw blood and offer sacrifices."

At this moment, the group of women in black robes immediately took out their knives and went to the sacrificial offerings. They stabbed each of them in the waist, and in an instant, bright red blood was all left on the cabin.

At this moment, Zhao Yin, the woman in black robes, said to the other woman in black robes beside her, "Prepare the lifeboats."

As he spoke, he pointed to the small boat hanging at the berth. Chen Jie, who was mixed in with the women in black robes, noticed the small boat they were pointing to and kept it in mind. He gave Zhang Dingbian, who was hiding in the cabin, a wink, and Zhang Dingbian understood instantly.

At this moment, Chen Jie turned his head and saw a woman in black robes standing not far away, who had already come in front of Garuno and was about to stab him with a knife.

Garuno tightened his grip, seemingly preparing to retaliate.

However, Chen Jie pointed a finger in mid-air and hit Garuno directly with a stone. Garuno tried to move, but was immediately immobilized by the pressure point technique.

Seeing him like this, Chen Jie smiled, and then saw the woman in black robes stab Garuno in the lower back.

It wasn't a fatal spot; it was just a matter of drawing blood. Garuno's eyes were filled with pain and fear.

Chen Jie acted as if nothing had happened. At that moment, he saw the black-robed female Zhao Yin raise her hand and wave it towards the sky. The next moment, she directly addressed the three rows of offerings on the bow of the ship and said, "Jump!"

Then you see the group of sacrifices lining up and jumping into the sea.

Pfft!
Pfft!
One by one, the people who had been cursed, while still conscious, began jumping into the sea, splashing and thumping like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

As one person after another entered the sea, the entire ocean was instantly stained red with blood.

Thump, thump, thump...

People kept jumping in one after another, and soon the sea was full of people.

The surrounding pirate ships watched silently, and not a single one of them offered any humanitarian assistance.

There's no way around it; this is the naked law of piracy. In the world of pirates, there is no mercy, no politeness whatsoever. They believe in profit, and that the strong can take everything from the weak.

Including life.

Of course, Chen Jie is now quite used to this pace.

If the protagonist, a saint, saw this scene, she would most likely break down.

They might have foolishly started trying to save people, but Chen Jie wouldn't. He just watched them jump into the sea to feed the fish, which could be said to have hardened his heart.

Watching these sacrifices, now under a curse, jump into the sea one by one, and once they started, they couldn't stop.

At this moment, the female Zhao Yin led the woman in black robes away from the slave ship, because it was no longer safe there. She led her people away and headed straight for the lifeboat at the back of the ship.

Chen Jie followed in the crowd, casually tapping Garano's pressure point with his finger. Garano wanted to cry out in pain, but when he turned his head, he saw Chen Jie's naked gaze.

The next moment, he froze. Chen Jie pointed ahead, and he immediately followed him to the stern.

At this moment, the group of women in black robes had reached the stern of the ship, but just as they arrived there, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and immediately stopped them.

Before the female Zhao Yin could react, she was frozen in place, her eyes filled with fear.

Because she discovered that the person who made the move was far stronger than herself, and was likely a powerhouse at the Furnace Realm.

At this moment, her eyes were wide open, her body was unable to move, but she could still speak.

At this moment, she looked at the strange man in front of her and asked, "Who, who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian's gaze sharpened, and he angrily said, "You tied me to the boat, and now you're asking me who I am?"

Upon hearing this, the female Zhaoyin said, "I don't care who you are, I hope you will surrender obediently. We are the holy maidens of the Siam Kingdom. If you dare to touch us, you will be hunted down by the entire Siam Kingdom."

"You...you don't want to die, do you?"

The female Zhao Yin said, and upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian chuckled and said, "Hehe, don't try to scare me. What Siam? In my eyes, it's just a small, uncivilized country. If I want to destroy it, I can do so with a wave of my hand!"

Upon hearing this, the female Zhao Yin exclaimed, "You, you are too arrogant!"

"Arrogant? Heh, you call me arrogant because you don't know who I am. Once you know who I am, you won't call me arrogant anymore."

Zhang Dingbian said confidently, "Actually, there's nothing we can do about it. Chinese people have an inherent sense of superiority over other ethnic groups. After all, we are the Celestial Empire, so it's understandable."

As Zhang Dingbian was speaking, the female Zhaoyin said, "Alright, I don't want to hear your bragging. What exactly do you want?"

"Haha, ma'am, don't be nervous, we don't want to do anything."

When the female magistrate heard this, she couldn't see the person behind her clearly, but she saw Zhang Dingbian respectfully push him aside. At this moment, the female magistrate felt someone walking from behind her, and her eyes slowly followed the person's gaze until she finally saw the person's eyes clearly.

"Sa, Sammy!"

The woman, Zhao Yin, stared blankly at the person who appeared before her. At this moment, Chen Jie said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm not your Sami."

The female Zhao Yin was completely stunned, and exclaimed as she looked at Chen Jie, "Face-changing technique!"

Chen Jie asked, "Is this what you call the art of disguise here?"

After saying that, Chen Jie turned to Zhang Dingbian and said, "Alright, stop wasting time talking to them, let's get to the lifeboat."

As he spoke, Chen Jie pointed to the women, Zhao Yin and the others, and said, "Garuno, go and strip off two of their black robes."

"It's the master."

Garuno was now extremely respectful, treating himself directly as Chen Jie's servant, and directly reached out to strip off the two women's black robes.

Then he asked, "Master, what should we do with them? Should we capture them and use them as foot warmers?"

Chen Jie said, "Ignore them, let's go."

"Ah, no, please take us away, don't leave us on the ship, please!"

At this moment, Nü Zhaoyin screamed in terror. Chen Jie ignored her, while Garuno chuckled and said, "You wretched witches, you may stay here and sink with this ship!"

Upon hearing this, Garuno immediately followed Chen Jie to the stern and helped lower the lifeboat.

Chen Jie had Zhang Dingbian and Garuno put on black robes, then said, "Quickly, row away from this area."

Upon hearing this, they immediately moved far away from the slave ship and the area. At this moment, Chen Jie said to Garuno, "Row quickly, something is starting to go wrong in this area."

Chen Jie looked at the water not far away and saw that the water had been stained red with blood. After the blood stained the water, small bubbles began to rise in the nearby sea.

And these little bubbles are increasing in number.

As the bubbles multiplied, the water became increasingly strange. Finally, with a splash, a giant shark head emerged from the water and swallowed a slave whole.

Then everyone saw many shark fins suddenly appear on the sea surface, followed by more blood and torn, mangled limbs. These slaves, controlled by the curse, could not cry out or shout, and just floated on the sea surface, allowing the sharks to devour them.

The sight sent chills down Garuno's spine. He muttered under his breath, "These yellow-skinned monkeys are the most evil demons I've ever seen! Demons!"

Garuno cursed angrily, while Chen Jie's expression froze slightly, because he felt as if something in the water had awakened and was rapidly swimming upwards.

"Oh no! Row fast! Something's coming up!"

Chen Jie's expression changed drastically.
