Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Before Lu Sandao arrived, he had already received news that as long as he could complete this mission, he would receive considerable benefits. Of course, letting him go was out of the question.

He naturally understood that this was an opportunity for him to prove himself, and he responded immediately.

"Boss Yu, just tell me what to do, I'll do whatever you say."

Yu Changsheng immediately explained his plan, which, in short, was to have Lu Sandao lead Yu Changsheng and the others to infiltrate the temporary pirate stronghold.

The people on Lu Sandao's ship had long since been replaced by disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Although this might pose a risk of being discovered, Lu Sandao's men had already gone into the mine.

Yu Changsheng could control Lu Sandao, but he didn't have the energy to control Lu Sandao's hundreds of subordinates.

The disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect are naturally the best replacements.

Once everyone has successfully infiltrated the pirate stronghold, then a suitable prey will be found.

Once the enemy is far away from the pirate stronghold, Yu Changsheng and his men can immediately make their move.

A few visits are enough to recruit hundreds or even thousands of people as miners in the mining area.

After hearing the plan, Lu Sandao also thought it was feasible.

These pirates mostly operate alone, only staying temporarily at their outposts before leaving. With Yu Changsheng's strength, dealing with a single pirate group is no problem at all.

Yu Changsheng released the restrictions on Lu Sandao, temporarily lifting the limitations on his magical power.

However, I still warned, "Lu Sandao, although I'm letting you go for now, don't think you can take this opportunity to escape. I'll be following you the whole way."

"If you show even the slightest disloyalty, I'll finish you off with one punch, understand?"

Lu Sandao dared not resist in any way, and quickly smiled and agreed, indicating that he would not have any other thoughts.

Yu Changsheng would never believe such insincere words, but he was confident that he could control Lu Sandao.

Once everything was ready, Yu Changsheng told Lu Sandao to set off immediately.

It turns out that these pirate groups identified their temporary strongholds by tracking the movements of a bird called the sea turtle bird.

These giant, armored birds periodically seek out a relatively safe and secluded island to gather and breed.

Because the giant birds were so large in size and number, small islands simply couldn't accommodate them, so the islands chosen were also quite large.

After these giant birds finish breeding and leave, the pirates will temporarily occupy this area and establish a stronghold. At that time, many merchants and women will appear here.

The giant bird will move to a different location for its next breeding season.

Lu Sandao looked at the sky and counted on his fingers.

"Judging by now, the giant tortoise birds should be ready to breed. Let's find a place first, and then wait in the nearby sea for a few days."

"Otherwise, with so many unfamiliar faces on the ship, waiting too long around the island would easily attract attention and make people suspicious."

Lu Sandao's concerns were not unfounded, and Yu Changsheng agreed to do as he suggested.

As a pirate captain, Lu Sandao was first-rate at commanding his crew.

They can always follow the giant tortoise bird's tracks without losing sight of it.

Finally, a day later, the fleet arrived at the vicinity of a huge island.

There were already some ships around, at a safe distance, and judging from the flags on the ships, they were all pirate ships.

It seems that what Lu Sandao said was indeed true, and he was not deceiving Yu Changsheng and the others.

According to the pirates' rules, they had to wait until the giant tortoise birds had finished breeding before they could land on the island, which usually took two or three days.

Yu Changsheng and the others could only wait quietly at sea, during which time more and more ships approached.

Everyone remained calm and undisturbed, as if they hadn't seen anyone else and there was no communication between them.

Two days later, the giant tortoise birds began to leave one after another, and a huge ship gradually appeared in the distance.

Lu Sandao pointed to the ship and explained, "That's the pirates' base ship!"

"Everything the pirates need is on there!"

Lu Sandao licked his lips, his face full of lewdness.

Yu Changsheng could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

I advise you to have fewer unreasonable ideas.

Lu Sandao, however, argued forcefully, "Boss Yu, I'm also doing this for our plan."

"If the pirates come to the stronghold and don't do what they're supposed to do, it'll be too easy for them to arouse suspicion."

Yu Changsheng remained silent. That was indeed true; he was also prone to overlooking such matters.

It's just that having the disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect mingle with those pirates makes them easier to detect.

Given the current situation, Lu Sandao is indeed the most suitable person to make contact with other pirates.

"Does this outpost use any other specially made currency?"

"No, it's just a spirit stone."

Yu Changsheng took out a portion of spirit stones from his storage bag and threw them out.

Upon seeing the spirit stone, Lu Sandao was overjoyed and quickly thanked Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng reminded him, "If you're going to put on an act, you have to do it completely. Do it the same way you did before. But be careful to avoid contact between the crew and other pirates as much as possible."

"You can decide for yourself how to do it."

After giving Lu Sandao his instructions, Yu Changsheng followed him off the boat.

Other pirate ships had already landed on the island, making it a lively place with frequent fights and brawls.

The air was thick with a chaotic atmosphere, a mixture of alcohol and sweat that made Yu Changsheng frown slightly.

Lu Sandao reminded Yu Changsheng not to show any resistance to this place.

Since this is the only place where pirates can release their pent-up energy after a long life at sea, how could they resist it?

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but look at Lu Sandao with new respect. It seemed that this guy did have some skills, at least he was meticulous enough.

After the two men scouted the pirates' lair, Lu Sandao gained a general understanding of the situation there.

After venting his emotions by finding a partner, Lu Sandao returned to Yu Changsheng with two women on either side to report the situation.

"There are five pirate crews here. Two of them are about as strong as me, and the other three are pirate crews with more than five Purple Mansion True Monarchs."

Yu Changsheng glanced at the two alluring women, and Lu Sandao understood, reluctantly letting them leave.

The two found a secluded spot, and Lu Sandao asked in a low voice, "Which pirate group are you planning to target?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, "Given our current strength, if we want to win without paying too high a price, our opponents should ideally have no more than five Purple Mansion True Monarchs."

Lu Sandao thought for a moment and said, "If there can only be five Purple Mansion True Monarchs, the Red Candle Pirates are the most suitable."

"However, their pirate crew's leader is a powerful expert at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm. I wonder if you are a match for him?"

Yu Changsheng simply replied, "No problem."

Now that the target has been chosen, Lu Sandao is responsible for monitoring the Red Candle Pirates and gathering intelligence on the island.

To avoid suspicion, Lu Sandao purchased some supplies needed for the ship and then ordered the crew to go ashore to unload them.

Just as Lu Sandao was directing his crew to transport supplies, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Lu Sandao, it's you!"

Lu Sandao was startled by the voice and almost ran away.

"Li Lie!"

This man was nine feet tall, with tiger-like eyes and wolf-like teeth. He was burly and strong, and his arms were almost as thick as other people's waists.

Lu Sandao had a grudge against this person, but was no match for him, so he subconsciously felt fear.

However, Lu Sandao quickly regained his composure, because Yu Changsheng was by his side, so what was there to be afraid of?

"What a small world!"

Li Lie sneered repeatedly as he walked towards Lu Sandao.

Lu Sandao's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he arrogantly cursed, "Meeting a fool like you is truly bad luck."

The two quickly approached each other. Li Lie opened his large hand to grab Lu Sandao, but Yu Changsheng grabbed his wrist.

"Your name is Li Lie? This is not a place for you to act recklessly."

Seeing Yu Changsheng make a move, Lu Sandao felt relieved and became even more arrogant.

"Li Lie, don't you know the rules on this island? If a Purple Mansion cultivator wants to make a move, they must go outside the island first!"

Li Lie was furious. He suddenly exerted force on his wrist, trying to shake Yu Changsheng away, but to his surprise, Yu Changsheng's hand did not move at all and was almost unaffected.

Instead, her wrist was gripped tighter and tighter, causing her some pain.

Li Lie immediately realized that the young man in front of him was a master, no wonder Lu Sandao was so presumptuous in front of him.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

The two secretly clashed, constantly unleashing their inner strength as they probed each other's weaknesses.

boom!

The surrounding space suddenly trembled, and the ground shattered instantly. The two fought to a draw.

However, the commotion between the two still attracted the attention of many people.

Considering the sensitivity of his own identity, Yu Changsheng released his grip and did not continue to pester him.

Li Lie quickly pushed Yu Changsheng away, showing extreme fear of him.

"Hmph! Li Lie, why did you run away? Is that all you've got?" Lu Sandao taunted.

Li Lie's face was cold. "Lu Sandao, don't think that just because you have something to rely on, you can act recklessly. You'll leave the island eventually, and then we'll have a proper showdown."

The second half of the sentence was clearly addressed to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng remained expressionless, but felt somewhat annoyed. It seemed that his previous plans had to be put on hold for the time being, and he needed to take action against this person first.

Li Lie left after uttering those harsh words.

Lu Sandao sighed inwardly, regretting that he hadn't lured it away and killed it, missing a precious opportunity.

"Lu Sandao, how strong is his pirate crew?"

"They're very strong. At least when I encountered them, I could only run away."

"He belongs to the Thunder Hunter Pirates and is the first mate. As for the captain, he is a mysterious figure who is rarely seen; no one has ever seen his face, nor does anyone know his strength."

"But they are likely even stronger than Li Lie, and they will be difficult to deal with. In addition to the two of them, there are six more Purple Mansion True Monarchs."

Hearing this number, Yu Changsheng felt a pang of frustration; this was going to be tough to deal with.

If they rashly attack this Thunder Hunter Pirates, there's no guarantee that their Myriad Manifestations Sect won't suffer losses.

"Boss Yu, what should we do? Should we change our target for now?"

Yu Changsheng glanced at him. "Shut up! If it weren't for you, would we be in this mess?"

Lu Sandao quickly nodded and admitted his mistake, his attitude extremely sincere. He was practically begging to kneel down and kowtow to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng ignored him and let him continue to direct the transportation of supplies while he went to secretly gather information.

With Li Lie's sudden appearance, he was no longer afraid that Lu Sandao would sneak away. Without his protection, Lu Sandao leaving would be courting death.

Back at his base, Li Lie instructed one of the pirates to monitor Lu Sandao's crew and report back to him as soon as Lu Sandao left.

After half a day of investigation, Yu Changsheng had a general understanding of the forces on the pirate ship.

Apart from Lu Sandao, the pirate forces here are roughly divided into six groups.

One of them is responsible for maintaining order in this area, and they even send people to stop fights. They are probably people who came from that big ship.

The other five copies should belong to people from five different pirate groups.

Yu Changsheng also saw some Purple Mansion cultivators, most of whom were at the mid-stage of cultivation, with very few at the late stage.

However, true masters don't easily reveal themselves, and it's unclear how many Purple Mansion cultivators are on that large ship.

evening.

The supplies purchased by Lu Sandao have been delivered, but they have not yet been loaded onto the ship because they are waiting for Yu Changsheng.

Before long, Yu Changsheng emerged from the darkness, greeted Lu Sandao, and the two returned to the boat.

Lu Sandao shared the information with the other Purple Mansion True Monarchs in the sect, and they all looked worried after hearing it.

The current predicament is also troublesome. Given the strength behind Li Lie, it won't be easy for them to take him down.

But we can't ignore them and deal with other forces.

Li Lie has already set his sights on Lu Sandao. If they manage to make a move against their target, Li Lie will be right on their heels, leaving them in a predicament of being attacked from both sides.

"If all else fails, hand over Lu Sandao."

"If you hand it over, can you guarantee he won't tell anyone?"

"Since that's the case, why waste time talking? Let's just kill him."

"No! He's the captain now! If the captain dies, it'll only arouse suspicion. Our target isn't just one pirate crew."

"Then what do you suggest we do? Risk everything and fight the Thunder Hunter Pirates?"

"With just a few of us Purple Mansion True Monarchs, let alone capturing them alive, we won't win this battle without losing at least two of us."

The crowd was arguing fiercely, but Yu Changsheng listened quietly and did not participate.

After a long while, everyone got tired of arguing and gradually fell silent, without coming up with any new ideas.

Seeing that the arguing had subsided, Yu Changsheng finally spoke:

"Now that you have finished your debate, may I say something?"

Everyone became interested; it seemed Yu Changsheng had something else in mind, so they hurriedly asked him.

"Chang Sheng, do you have any ideas?"

Yu Changsheng sighed, "I don't have a perfect solution in a short time, but I have thought of a way to deal with it."

"That's a one-on-one duel!"

"A one-on-one duel?"

Looking around, everyone realized that Yu Changsheng was the strongest among them.

"Could it be that Changsheng, you want to have a one-on-one fight with that Li Lie? Hmm, that's one way to do it."

The group fell into deep thought; it seemed that this was the only way forward.

It's better for Yu Changsheng to resolve the problem himself than for the two sides to escalate into a bigger conflict.

"But, will Li Lie really agree?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Judging from Lu Sandao's expression, it's highly likely!"

"As long as the tactics are issued in Lu Sandao's name, Li Lie, given his personality, would not refuse."

"I'll make my move then. Even if Li Lie realizes he's been tricked, he'll still have to fight me for the sake of his pride."

"As long as I win and make Li Lie and his group think twice, they won't bother us anymore."

Everyone nodded in agreement; Yu Changsheng's plan did indeed sound feasible.

Most importantly, they didn't have any other good solutions.

"Alright, since that's the case, it's settled then!" (End of Chapter)
