Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 267: Pirates Rob Cultivating Cultivators (Subscribe)

A foundation-building cultivator who lost an arm, controlling an abacus-shaped magic weapon, quickly escaped to Wolong Island.

The monk with the broken arm looked haggard, and his abacus-shaped magic weapon was shaking and falling into the sea near Wolong Island.

"Shopkeeper Hu?"

When Chen Xuan rushed over after hearing the news, the monk with the broken arm had already staggered out of the sea and waded towards him.

This person is the shopkeeper of Tianfu Chamber of Commerce. He has the foundation-building cultivation level and is responsible for all commercial and trade matters on Wolong Island.

The Hu family is one of the core families of the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, and most of the family members work in the chamber of commerce.

Chen Xuan took a look and saw that the Chamber of Commerce owner, Hu Jingxing, was seriously injured and even his severed arm was missing.

He used secret techniques to escape, which resulted in his body being depleted and his magic power and soul being severely damaged.

"Island Master Chen, the Qi-nourishing Pills and Yuan Zu Ling Wine that we shipped back to Song State were all robbed."

Hu Jingxing said bitterly, his body trembling.

The elixir and wine were robbed?

Chen Xuan was secretly shocked.

This is the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, a powerful cultivation force with a Yuanying True Lord in charge, spanning several countries.

"Who is the other party?"

"Although he didn't reveal his identity, I can tell he's a robbery cultivator from White Dog Island."

Hu Jingxing said with gritted teeth.

"White Dog Island?"

Dongshan Islands is just a general term.

In fact, there are hundreds of island towns.

The Seven Clans of the Song State occupied the seven largest islands closest to the Song State and with the best resources.

The major sects in the neighboring Yu and Lu states also occupied some of the territory one after another.

But more small island towns have become pirate nests for robbery.

The three kingdoms' sects had joined forces to raid the area several times.

General effect.

Pirates come and go as fast as the wind to rob cultivators, and they never come into direct conflict with the cultivators of the sects.

When you are alone and weak, we will gather together and bully you with our numbers, killing you and taking your property.

Most of the small islands occupied by these pirates are sparsely populated, poor in resources, and have little development value.

The three kingdoms' sects each had their own thoughts and were unwilling to fight to the death, and there were also many conflicts between them.

Therefore, as time went by, the pirates in the Dongshan Islands robbed cultivators and gradually became a common practice.

Now, thousands of years have passed.

The pirates in the Dongshan Islands who robbed cultivators had long since merged with the cultivation families in the coastal counties of Song, Yu, and Lu.

You have me I have you.

Sometimes they are family monks, sometimes they are pirates who come to rob monks.

He was involved in various activities such as smuggling spiritual objects, killing people and stealing their wealth.

That's why.

The pirates in the Dongshan Islands robbed repairmen and stole treasures, but they also chose their targets carefully.

Powerful cultivation forces such as the Seven Sects of Song State and Tianfu Chamber of Commerce have never been provoked.

Unexpectedly, money and property can move people's hearts.

He actually took the risk and stole the goods from Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

That’s right, it’s from Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

Previously, when Chen Xuan cooperated with Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, it was stated in the spiritual contract that the transportation safety of all goods, whether entering or leaving the island, would be solely borne by Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

Every time the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce escorts goods in or out, it will send a foundation-building cultivator to escort the ship.

Unexpectedly, something happened again this time.

"Two hundred thousand mid-grade Qi-nourishing Pills, five hundred thousand bottles of Yuan Zu Spiritual Wine, and a number of spiritual rice seeds, worth one hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones."

Hu Jingxing said with a bitter look on his face, "Property is fine. But the robbers also kidnapped seven guild clerks and forty-two sailors on board."

"Island Master Chen, please help rescue the people first for the sake of my guild leader."

Hear this.

Chen Xuan already understood the whole story.

The pirates from White Dog Island robbed the cultivators and coveted the elixirs, wines, rice and other valuables from Wolong Island.

Tianfu Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce after all. Even though there is a Yuanying Zhenjun in charge, its business is too big and it is difficult to cover all aspects.

For example, in the transaction on Wolong Island, only one foundation-building cultivator was sent to escort the ship.

Although the journey is short, it cannot escape the eyes and ears of those who are interested.

They had been lurking on the sea route from Wolong Island to Pingyang County for a long time, and suddenly launched an attack, seizing ships and robbing property in one fell swoop.

At this time, he must have returned to White Dog Island with merchant ships and prisoners.

The timing was so precise.

There is a high possibility that there is a traitor in Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

Hu Jingxing doesn't need to explain.

Chen Xuan could think of it.

Seizing ships and robbing money can also damage the reputation of Tianfu Chamber of Commerce.

The pirates on White Dog Island robbed the cultivators, and there was a hidden force behind them that was secretly planning.

Maybe it is aimed at Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, or maybe it is aimed at Wolong Island.

In short, it is a case of striking the mountain to scare the tiger, killing two birds with one stone, and the intention is sinister.

Chen Xuan saw through the calculation at a glance.

"Don't be alarmed, Manager Hu. I'll go and catch up with the merchant ship and the cargo!"

Give an order.

All the water cultivators in Wolongfang City hurriedly gathered and took a flying boat to the dock.

Chen Xuan said a few words to Zhou Shiren and Su Zhengming.

Tell them to stay on the island and not go out.

Then, he brought Hu Jingxing to the dock.

Zhang Haibin and others have assembled on the Wolong.

Time was tight and there were only about forty people.

"go!"

Chen Xuan picked up Hu Jingxing and rushed to the Wolong.

Following Hu Jingxing's instructions, the water cultivators took their positions and drove the Wolong towards Baigou Island with all their strength.

"Manager Hu, what's going on with the pirates robbing the cultivators on White Dog Island?"

The Tianfu Chamber of Commerce does business across several major countries and is well aware of the forces in each region.

According to Hu Jingxing, there were three foundation-building cultivators, more than two hundred pirates robbing the cultivators, and more than a dozen pirate ships on Baigou Island.

Chen Xuan asked in detail about the strength of the three foundation-building cultivators.

Unfortunately, Hu Jingxing only knew a rough idea: one was in the middle stage of foundation building, two were in the early stage of foundation building, and among the dozen or so pirate ships, only two were second-level, and the rest were first-level.

Chen Xuan judged that he alone was enough to deal with the Tribulation Cultivators of White Dog Island, not to mention the support of the Psychic Green Snake.

But Hu Jingxing obviously didn't think so.

"Island Master Chen, those three robbery cultivators have all been roaming this sea area for many years. They are ruthless and have rich experience in fighting."

"If you catch up, talk to them politely first and rescue them first."

"I've already sounded the alarm. The guild leader will be here soon. Then we'll gather our forces and fight them again."

That's a more euphemistic way of putting it.

What I mean is, Chen Xuan, don't try to be a hero. Just pretend to be nice for now and rescue the person first.

If we really want to fight White Dog Island, we have to wait for the experts from Tianfu Chamber of Commerce to arrive.

Chen Xuan smiled.

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Hu. I will reason with them."

"That's good."

Hu Jingxing felt relieved and swallowed the elixir, taking the time to recover his magic power.

The Wolong chased for four days and four nights, and finally caught up with the pirate ship from White Dog Island in the early morning of the fifth day.

There are seventeen ships in total.

Two of the second-level pirate ships towed the merchant ships of the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce and slowed down their speed.

This allowed the Wolong to catch up.

At this time, Hu Jingxing had almost recovered.

With one arm broken, his strength was weakened.

After all, he is a foundation-building cultivator and can exert 60% to 70% of his usual strength.

Seeing the amazing speed of the Wolong, the pirate ships stopped.

More than a dozen pirate ships surrounded the Wolong, revealing their black gun muzzles.

"Manager Hu, how are you? We meet again so soon!"

A middle-aged man with bronze skin, braided hair and a vicious look in his eyes stood on the second-level pirate ship and clasped his fists towards Hu Xingjing.

"He is Li Alai, the chief of White Dog Island, and those two are his deputies, Li Acai and Li Adai."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

Obviously, these three pirate leaders all used pseudonyms.

The spiritual sense swept over.

Li Alai is in the middle stage of foundation building, while Li Acai and Li Adai seem to be in the third stage of foundation building.

The strength is pretty good.

"This must be Island Master Chen, right? I'm Li Alai, nice to meet you, Island Master Chen."

Li Alai was very humble and saluted with his fists clasped.

"We have no grudges against each other, why are you robbing my goods?"

Chen Xuan did not return the greeting and just put the hat on.

He is not crazy. He is a genius of the sect. How can he have any relationship with a pirate cultivator?
He is not the great hero Linghu, who can be on good terms with the flower thief.

Li Alai smiled.

"Island Master Chen, please stop joking. We are not responsible for any goods once they leave the island. These goods belong to the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce."

Hearing this, Hu Xingjing's face became even colder and his heart sank.

Li Alai said this, clearly determined to take possession of this batch of goods.

Chen Xuan coughed lightly and sneered, "If I say it's mine, then it's mine. You dare to rob my goods, have you thought about the consequences?"

Li Alai was speechless for a while.

If he were to be honest, his attitude towards Chen Xuan was quite good.

Even if the ship was hijacked and the cargo was stolen, the ownership belonged to the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce and actually had nothing to do with Chen Xuan of Wolong Island.

He won't lose anything.

"Brother, who the hell does he think he is? How dare he come and ask for our money and property!"

"That's right. Others are afraid of Wolong Island, but we brothers are not. At worst, we can kill him!"

Li Acai and Li Adai shouted.

The spirit crystal cannons on the pirate ships were all aimed at the Wolong, as if they were ready to start a war at the slightest disagreement.

Chen Xuan said nothing, his expression calm.

Li Alai waved his hand to stop the pirates' noise.

"Island Master Chen, I've heard you're a good person. According to the rules of the sea, I'll return you 30%. For the rest, you and the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce can redeem it with 100,000 spirit stones."

The goods were worth 180,000 spirit stones, and there were a large number of captives, but only cost 100,000 spirit stones, which was a bargain for them.

I heard that Chen Xuan is a prodigy of the Jinyang Sect and has great skills.

The Wolong is also a second-tier top-grade warship.

To this end, he made some concessions.

After all, he was just looking for money.

I don't want to make a mortal enemy with them unless it is absolutely necessary.

Unfortunately, Chen Xuan ignored his good intentions.

"Return all your belongings and pay me 100,000 spirit stones as compensation, and I will forgive you this time!"

Chen Xuan said lightly.

After hearing this, the pirates could no longer bear it.

They had never seen such an arrogant cargo owner.

Not only did they not pay the ransom, they also blackmailed them.

How could they, who have always been unruly and unruly, tolerate this?

Even Li Alai, who wanted to make concessions, had to be tough at this point.

Just as Chen Xuan said, there was no way for him, the leader of the robbery cultivators, to be defeated.

"Island Master Chen is not giving Li face! In that case, let's see what we can do!"

The pirates and robbers have good execution capabilities.

As soon as Li Alai finished speaking, he started moving.

The spirit crystal cannons of seventeen pirate ships bombarded the Wolong one after another.

Zhang Haibin commanded the water cultivators of Wolong Island to dodge the spirit crystal cannons while lighting up the warship's defense shield.

The spirit crystal cannon of the first-level pirate ship was too weak and landed on the defensive shield, being easily bounced away.

The spirit crystal cannons of the two second-tier pirate ships were relatively much more powerful, causing the protective shield to sway left and right.

Hu Jingxing gritted his teeth and prepared to fly into battle.

The people on Wolong Island have already taken action, and as the real owner, he doesn't have the face to stay on the deck and watch the show.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan grabbed him.

"Manager Hu, please help me scout the enemy here!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, raised the Green Water Sword, and carried him directly to Li Alai on the second-level pirate ship.

At the same time, waves rolled in the sea, and a thirty-meter-long green dragon roared in the huge waves, directly overturning another second-level pirate ship!
