Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"It seems that our previous actions angered a major pirate force at sea, prompting them to attack us."

"Chang Sheng, what should we do about this? If we go to wipe them out, we may not have enough manpower."

"Besides, those major pirate forces are all united, so our last method probably won't work."

Old Wei spoke with a worried expression, while also trying to think of a solution.

Yu Changsheng also realized the seriousness of the problem at this moment. If it was not handled properly, the Myriad Manifestations Sect might face annihilation.

He had anticipated the trouble that was brewing today.

I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

If the disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect can digest their gains from the last time, they might have the strength to fight against those large pirate groups. Unfortunately, they need time.

Yu Changsheng stroked his chin and sighed, "Right now, it seems there isn't a good solution."

"We can only temporarily consolidate our strength and bring back all the Myriad Manifestations Sect disciples who were originally outside. Try not to go out for the time being."

Old Wei nodded. That's not bad.

"However, our people always have to go out, and it's a problem to be responsible for supplies in the gate and the mines. This method is not a long-term solution."

Yu Changsheng pursed his lips and immediately said, "I'm going to the mine to lie down and find Lu Sandao."

Old Wei was puzzled, and Yu Changsheng explained, "Actually, I wanted to find out the identity of my opponent first."

"Otherwise, being in the dark while we are in the light would put us at a significant disadvantage."

"Lu Sandao should be very familiar with the pirate forces in the North Sea. Let's find out from him first."

Old Wei replied, "However, the limited information we currently have is probably insufficient for him to make a judgment."

"Of course, we need to capture some of the pirates who attacked us first. As long as we set up an ambush, we won't have to worry about not being able to catch them."

Old Wei stroked his beard and nodded, immediately setting about making arrangements.

As expected, with the retreat of the Wanxiang Sect disciples, there were no casualties among the sect's disciples immediately.

Several days later, Yu Changsheng secretly infiltrated a supply convoy that was out for resupply.

Their movements were tracked shortly after they left the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Once they were far away, those people immediately began to attack Yu Changsheng and his group.

The result was obvious: with Yu Changsheng's addition, none of the ambushers were a match for him.

They were all captured alive, including a Purple Mansion True Lord.

After capturing the person, Yu Changsheng summoned Lu Sandao to verify his identity.

Inside the mine.

A dozen or so captured pirates were tied up and left on the ground.

Many disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect punched and kicked him to vent their anger.

In the past few days, dozens of disciples who went out have died.

Many of these people were disciples with families and relatives, and now they have died and their spiritual paths have disappeared.

Their relatives naturally wanted to avenge them, and Yu Changsheng couldn't stop them.

After those people were beaten half to death and on the verge of death, Yu Changsheng came out and kindly persuaded them to leave temporarily so that he could find the mastermind behind it all.

These people still respected Yu Changsheng greatly. Although they hated him intensely, they all left temporarily as Yu Changsheng had instructed.

After everyone left, Yu Changsheng finally took a look at the few miserable people on the ground.

Lu Sandao also came over and kicked the man at the front. This man was none other than the Purple Mansion True Lord who was the leader of this group of pirates.

"Lu Sandao, do you recognize this man?"

Lu Sandao lingered in front of the man for a couple of steps, examining him carefully for a moment.

He frowned and thought for a moment, "I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

"Hey kid, which pirate crew are you with?"

The man spat and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Lu Sandao became enraged and started punching and kicking the man again.

The physical body of this Purple Mansion True Lord is still extremely strong; despite such torture, he is not seriously injured.

Lu Sandao himself was panting a bit after the fight, and he stepped on the man's face.

"Kid, let me tell you, with so many men here, they can't all be as stubborn as you."

"If you're not even willing to show this last bit of value, then don't blame others for being ruthless towards you."

The man's expression finally shifted, but he still refused to speak.

Lu Sandao smiled and turned to Yu Changsheng, saying:

"Boss Yu, hand this man over to me, and I'll make him wish he were dead."

Yu Changsheng did not respond, but simply crossed his arms and waited.

Lu Sandao sneered, turned around and hit that man a few more times, then grabbed another person nearby.

This ordinary pirate was already trembling with fear. He had just been severely beaten by the disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect and was seriously injured. Now he had witnessed Lu Sandao's ruthless methods.

His psychological defenses had long been broken down, and after Lu Sandao took him away, he immediately began to interrogate him rigorously.

Before long, he spilled everything that guy knew.

Before long, Lu Sandao threw the man out, carrying his body, which was already on the verge of death.

Lu Sandao laughed and said, "Boss Yu, this guy has already confessed."

"Should we arrest another one to verify?"

Yu Changsheng nodded, and Lu Sandao walked towards the crowd with a cold smile.

Those people looked at Lu Sandao as if they had seen a devil, and they all retreated.

But where could they retreat to? Lu Sandao came to the crowd and picked out what to send.

The group looked terrified, afraid of being chosen.

Lu Sandao deliberately chose not to, but instead lingered there, putting plenty of pressure on them.

These people had already broken down, and before long, one of them stepped forward, knelt down, and wailed:

"I'm willing to say, please stop hitting me."

Lu Sandao patted the man's head with a smile, "Good boy, good boy, as long as you confess honestly, I, Lu Sandao, am also a peace-loving person."

"If there's any discrepancy between what you and that person said, don't blame me for using some methods."

Seeing this scene, the pirate from the Purple Mansion was also determined to die, but he never expected that he would grit his teeth and refuse to tell the truth.

His own men couldn't hold out any longer and confessed everything.

Lu Sandao then took the man to a secluded spot, and when they returned shortly afterward, they had compiled all the information they knew into a jade slip.

"Boss Yu, all the information we got from the interrogation is in there."

"What the two said is almost identical, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Hmm, not bad."

Yu Changsheng took the jade slip and immediately began to examine it.

Lu Sandao approached the Purple Mansion pirate and asked, "Boss Yu, what should we do with this man?"

After reading the contents of the jade slip, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The forces behind these people all come from members of a pirate group called the Snake Fang Pirates.

Their pirate crew had more than twenty powerful Purple Mansion True Lords, and their ordinary crew members numbered in the thousands.

Such immense power is far beyond what Yu Changsheng and the Myriad Manifestations Sect can currently match.

What puzzled Yu Changsheng was that the Snake Fang Pirates had no connection with them.

Could it really be that the Myriad Manifestations Sect's actions against the pirates provoked their retaliation? Yu Changsheng expressed his doubts.

The pirates weren't that united; this matter needs further investigation.

Yu Changsheng instructed Lu Sandao to keep a close watch on these people and send them to the mine to work.

They immediately found Elder Wei and informed him of the findings of their investigation.

Upon hearing this news, Yin Tianba immediately became agitated, grabbed his knife, and roared:

"Chang Sheng, now that we've found them, what are we waiting for? Our Myriad Manifestations Sect lost dozens of disciples this time; we can't let them die in vain!"

"We must make that Snake Fang Pirate Gang pay the price."

Old Wei shook his head helplessly; Yin Tianba was still a hot-tempered man.

Yu Changsheng reassured him, "Peak Master Yin, please calm down."

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

"Although we could take action against the scattered factions of the Serpent Fang Pirates, that wouldn't solve the fundamental problem."

"I'm afraid this will only further enrage the Serpent Fang Pirates and lead them to launch a full-scale attack on my Myriad Manifestations Sect."

"By that time, with our current strength, we will probably find it difficult to resist."

Yin Tianba sat back down, slammed his long sword heavily on the table, still furious.

"What should we do then? Just let them go like that? That would be too frustrating."

"The most urgent task is to accumulate strength so that we have the ability to protect ourselves if they really attack our Myriad Manifestations Sect."

"Whether it's the Myriad Manifestations Sect or the mine, we must set up defensive forces and maintain constant contact between the two. If one is attacked, the other should provide immediate support depending on the situation."

"During this time, I will also go out to scout out the situation and see if there is any way to resolve the trouble caused by the Snake Fang Pirates."

Yu Changsheng explained his plans, then turned to Elder Wei and said, "Elder Wei, you must take good care of the sect and the mine while I'm away. Nothing must go wrong."

Don't worry.

Old Wei nodded, understanding Yu Changsheng's meaning: to stabilize the internal situation and prevent chaos from breaking out on his own.

After discussing the matter with everyone here,

Yu Changsheng called Lu Sandao over, "Pack your things, we're leaving now."

Lu Sandao was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Where to?"

"Investigate that Snake Fang Pirate Crew."

Lu Sandao was excited. Could it be that Yu Changsheng was going to take action against the Snake Fang Pirates again?

He had never thought of such a thing before.

The Serpent Fang Pirates are one of the largest maritime forces in the entire North Sea region, and are extremely powerful.

Originally, his pirate crew was just a bottom-tier pirate group in the North Sea, yet he personally participated in the annihilation of several medium-sized pirate crews.

At this moment, the thought of actually having to participate in taking action against a pirate crew that I had never even dared to meet before is quite exciting.

"Alright! It's time for me, Lu Sandao, to return to the seas and show off my power."

Yu Changsheng glanced at him and warned, "We need to keep a low profile this time. If you cause any trouble, don't blame me for killing you first."

Above the North Sea.

Two figures flew past swiftly and arrived on a merchant ship.

This merchant ship was naturally the same one that Yu Changsheng had encountered at the beginning.

After Yu Changsheng resolved the pirate troubles in the nearby waters, he arranged for men to act as his guards.

When Li Zixin saw Yu Changsheng, he immediately went forward to greet him.

"Deacon Yu, it's been a long time."

Yu Changsheng didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point.

"Captain, besides providing protection, I also came here to give you a reminder."

"What is it?"

"A pirate group recently clashed with my Myriad Manifestations Sect. I originally thought that two or three Purple Mansion True Monarchs would be enough to protect the merchant ships."

"It seems that encountering that pirate crew might not be enough, so I came here in person."

Li Zixin was immediately worried, but he still thanked Yu Changsheng repeatedly.

"What should we do? We're almost out of the North Sea. We really hope nothing goes wrong."

Yu Changsheng offered some words of comfort, saying that with him around this time, even if he wasn't a match for him, at least his life would be spared.

Upon hearing this, Li Zixin's expression improved slightly, but it was still quite unpleasant.

After arranging accommodations for Yu Changsheng, he left with a worried expression.

Lu Sandao asked in a low voice, "Boss Yu, what are we doing on this merchant ship?"

"Are we going to use merchant ships to lure pirates?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head. "Why ask so many questions? You'll find out in a few days."

Lu Sandao had no choice but to leave dejectedly, still pondering what Yu Changsheng was thinking.

He found Yu Changsheng increasingly unfathomable and completely couldn't understand his thoughts.

He had worked his way up from a lowly pirate to captain, which was no small feat, but now he always acted like a clueless child in front of Yu Changsheng.

"Ugh, what kind of situation is this? They ask people to do work but don't even tell them what they're supposed to do."

Lu Sandao complained and had no choice but to go back to his room to rest.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye on the ship, during which time Lu Sandao would occasionally come to inquire about some news.

Li Zixin had come several times, mostly expressing concern about the ship's safety. Yu Changsheng could only reassure him that he shouldn't have any problems.

However, Li Zixin soon brought bad news.

Their accomplices at the port spread the word that pirates were searching the seas for the fleet.

On the contrary, none of those who were found survived.

Upon hearing this, Li Zixin felt as if the sky was falling. His worst fears had come true, so he immediately came here to ask what to do.

Yu Changsheng did not respond for the time being, and told Li Zixin to go back and wait for news, and let him think of a solution.

After Li Zixin left, Lu Sandao immediately came over to ask for news.

"Boss Yu, what should we do? Why have those pirates suddenly started searching for fleets at sea?"

Yu Changsheng sneered, "Before, I was just guessing, but now there's a very high probability that it's confirmed."

"These people came specifically for me."

"Huh? Why are you so sure?"

Yu Changsheng frowned. "I suspect that my whereabouts have been secretly monitored. That's why the pirates started searching for me as soon as I arrived at sea."

Lu Sandao was somewhat surprised, and Yu Changsheng continued, "You may think my suspicions are a bit far-fetched, but even I was just guessing to begin with."

"I came to this merchant ship to confirm my suspicions. I thought I would be hunted down, but they only issued a search order."

"It seems these people still don't have complete control over my whereabouts. This is the only way."

Yu Changsheng glanced at Lu Sandao, who was so frightened that he took a few steps back and hurriedly began to explain.

"Boss Yu, I absolutely did not betray you! You have to believe me!"

"I, Lu Sandao, would betray anyone but you!" (End of Chapter)
