Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 687 Surrounded
Ding Xuan was also shocked by the scene and quickly asked:
"Sir, the situation seems dire. What should we do?"
Yu Changsheng looked around and then addressed the others:
"We are now surrounded. Let's tell everyone to hold back for now and see how things go."
Although there were many pirates around, Yu Changsheng was not particularly worried.
After all, with their strength, breaking through the pirates' encirclement would be a piece of cake, but this situation would inevitably expose their strength.
Unless absolutely necessary, Yu Changsheng did not want to expose himself so easily.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it would be good to lie low for a while and see how things go.
At this time, quite a few pirates also stopped above Yu Changsheng's ship.
Yu Changsheng instructed Team Leader Xu to keep the crew calm, and the pirates saw that Yu Changsheng and his men did not resist.
It didn't go any further, but just stopped there at the top, without making any other moves.
Many other ships in the vicinity were like those of Yu Changsheng and his group.
Some, however, were not so at ease and wanted to take the opportunity to rebel.
However, they were immediately suppressed by these pirates.
Yu Changsheng immediately realized that these pirates were quite strong, with an average strength of over 100, and each team was led by at least one Purple Mansion cultivator.
Looking at it this way, it's clear that these two pirates couldn't have appeared out of thin air.
Yu Changsheng had previous experience in eliminating pirates and had a general understanding of these pirate forces.
Small pirate groups are typically led by only one or two cultivators at the Purple Mansion level.
The slightly stronger medium-sized pirate forces were composed of three or four Purple Mansion cultivators.
Only those pirate forces with exceptionally large territories could be led by Nascent Soul cultivators and have more than five Purple Mansion cultivators.
However, judging from the scale of these pirates now, it is definitely impossible for them to be just a large pirate force.
The sheer number of cultivators at the Purple Mansion level suggests that at least three large pirate forces must have joined together to possess such power.
Those caravans that attempted to resist naturally met with no good end. Before long, they were almost entirely wiped out, and the remaining people were merely clinging to life before surrendering one after another.
The pirates quickly brought the situation under control, and the entire island gradually quieted down.
At that moment, two figures suddenly fell from the sky.
Yu Changsheng sensed that the two people's auras suggested they were both Purple Mansion cultivators.
The two cultivators, one of whom was bald and the other had a face full of scars, both looked extremely fierce.
The bald man said:
"Hehehe, I didn't expect you guys to be so obedient, unlike the others who actually dared to rebel and seek death. They're simply tired of living."
The scarred man echoed:
"Having some self-awareness is a good thing; at least it allows you to live a longer life."
"Don't worry, our boss isn't interested in the junk on your ship. He just wants you to make a trip."
"Once this is over, you will be released immediately, and you will not be charged a single penny for anything on the ship!"
Team leader Xu mustered his courage and stepped forward to ask:
"Two heroes, could you please tell us what you want us to do? You should at least give us some indication of what you want us to do."
The bald man said, "Don't worry, you don't need to do anything. Just come with us."
"But."
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll kill you!"
Seeing how domineering the scarred man was, Team Leader Xu glanced at Yu Changsheng, and seeing that Yu Changsheng had no reaction, he said no more.
Soon, the pirates took control of all the ships and then made everyone leave with them.
As for where they went, naturally no one knows.
The island had long since been looted.
On the contrary, the merchant ships and sect ships did not commit any offenses, just as the bald man had said.
Team leader Xu approached Yu Changsheng with a worried expression and quickly asked:
"Sir, are we really going to go with them like this? It would be dangerous if we fell into a trap."
Yu Changsheng said:
"There are just too many people here. If we make a move, we will inevitably expose our strength, and the news will spread very quickly. When that happens, it will be hard for people not to suspect that a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators have suddenly appeared here."
Furthermore, we cannot be entirely certain of the opponent's strength. Although we are certain that they cannot be stronger than us, we cannot afford to act rashly.
"Therefore, it's not too late to wait and see."
"What you say is absolutely right, sir."
After hearing this, Team Leader Xu felt that there was some truth to it, so he stopped worrying and followed the fleet away from the island.
At the crack of dawn the next morning, the fleet, after sailing all night, had arrived at a very distant place.
Yu Changsheng stood at the bow of the ship, watching to see where the pirates were taking them.
Team leader Xu also stayed up all night, standing by Yu Changsheng's side the whole time.
It was already daylight, and Team Leader Xu was already yawning.
Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "Team Leader Xu's cultivation level is not yet high enough to maintain constant energy, so he should go and rest."
"At present, these pirates do not seem to have any hostile intentions towards us. In that case, there is no need to keep watching them."
Team leader Xu was already exhausted, and nodded hurriedly:
"Alright, in that case, I'll head back now. Please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."
After Team Leader Xu left, Yu Changsheng called Ding Xuan over and asked, "Do you know the location of this place?"
Yu Changsheng was, after all, unfamiliar with this area of the sea.
Although he had memorized the entire map of the North Sea region, he could almost redraw it.
But a map is a map, and there is still a big difference between it and reality.
Moreover, on this vast ocean, there are no landmarks to refer to, making it difficult to determine one's location.
Therefore, even Yu Changsheng couldn't be sure where they were now.
Ding Xuan naturally couldn't see it either, and shook her head helplessly in the face of Yu Changsheng's question.
Yu Changsheng said, "I heard from Team Leader Xu that a man named Huang Leihuan is extremely familiar with this area of the sea. I wonder if he is still alive."
Ding Xuan said, "In that case, I'll go look for it."
Yu Changsheng waved his hand, "No need, with so many ships, where would we find one?"
"Besides, we're surrounded by pirates, so we can't move around freely. Let's forget about it."
Ding Xuan asked, "Sir, are you really going to follow these pirates to the location they've designated, instead of going to our original destination?"
Yu Changsheng said, "Originally, I planned to let the fleet slip away under the cover of night."
"But halfway there, I suddenly changed my mind."
Ding Xuan was even more confused after hearing this. "Does the gentleman perhaps have other ideas?"
Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, we'll find out when the time comes."
At this moment, a mist suddenly rose up, almost completely enveloping the entire sea surface.
The visible distance is now only a small portion in front of you.
Yu Changsheng was standing on the deck, and he couldn't even see the bow of the ship.
However, Yu Changsheng was very familiar with this situation.
I had seen this kind of mist formation before when Yu Changsheng was wiping out a pirate force on an island.
It is a very common hidden formation used to defend maritime strongholds.
This was also one of the most common defensive measures used by these pirates.
As the surrounding fog gradually began to dissipate, Yu Changsheng realized that he had entered the formation.
We arrived at a huge island.
This place is a chaotic mess, with pirate ships of all kinds moored everywhere. The island is in complete disarray, with almost no rules to speak of.
There were many people lying haphazardly on the ground, and no one knew whether they were asleep or simply dead.
Team leader Xu was also terrified, his face pale. He hadn't expected that they would be taken directly to the pirates' stronghold.
Knowing about this place, would the pirates really let them go?
The lead ship of the fleet seemed to have no intention of stopping. After circling most of the island, it finally brought its crew to a port.
Soon, Yu Changsheng and the others were also taken off the ship by the pirates and gathered in an open space.
Du Xingcai and the others were quite puzzled by Yu Changsheng's actions, wondering why he didn't follow the original plan.
Instead, they came to this pirate territory.
A flawless version after careful inspection!
At this moment, the scarred man and the bald man also silenced everyone.
Before long, an old man dressed in a yellow robe, wearing a golden crown, and leaning on a dragon-headed cane walked over.
Many people were surprised when they saw the old man's attire.
This person's name is known to everyone who frequently operates in the nearby waters.
He was none other than the infamous pirate emperor Zhao De.
Rumor has it that this person is determined to integrate all the pirate forces into a huge force, making it the most powerful pirate force in the North Sea.
The scale of his actions in this overseas operation reveals just how many skilled individuals he has under his command.
The only thing that makes many people suspicious is what level of power this person possesses.
Some say he is a Void Refinement cultivator, others say he is a Nascent Soul cultivator; there are all sorts of theories.
However, there is one thing that everyone can be certain of: this person has many tricks up his sleeve, is cunning and treacherous, and is also extremely powerful.
The old man cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhao De! I'm sure you all have heard of my reputation."
When Team Leader Xu saw this person, he was even more terrified.
This person's strength has always been a mystery.
The worst-case scenario is that he is a Void Refinement cultivator. If that's the case, then even if the Nascent Soul cultivators in their fleet joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.
Team leader Xu could only hope that Zhao De was not a Void Refinement cultivator, otherwise things would get complicated.
Yu Changsheng was also quietly asking Team Leader Xu about Zhao De's information.
After receiving the answer, he nodded slightly.
The appearance of Zhao De naturally surprised and frightened the others.
Seeing the reactions of everyone, Zhao De nodded in satisfaction.
"Gentlemen, I didn't mean any harm by inviting you here. I just want to ask you all to do me, Zhao De, a big favor."
"If this succeeds, I, Zhao De, will definitely reward you handsomely!"
"But let me make this clear from the outset: if anyone sincerely refuses or leaks information about me, they become my enemy!"
"Even if he hides to the ends of the earth, I, Zhao De, will hunt him down with all my might!"
Many people quickly said:
"Please feel free to give us your instructions, Senior Zhao. We will do our best to assist you."
"Yes, Senior Zhao, there's no need for further words. Just tell us what needs to be done!"
"Indeed, it is our blessing to be able to share Senior Zhao's burdens."
"Hehe, Senior Zhao, please feel free to speak."
Upon hearing this, many people immediately nodded in agreement.
What a joke! It's just helping out, what's the big deal? In this situation, being able to leave alive is already a good thing.
As for any generous reward, as long as they can leave alive, there is no better revenge.
Zhao De laughed and said, "Very well! In that case, I, Zhao De, thank you all!"
Then Zhao De waved his hand again, and immediately a number of cultivators came from behind him, carrying over huge wooden boxes.
Many people were extremely curious when they saw the huge wooden box, wondering what Zhao De wanted them to do.
However, it wasn't until Zhao De personally opened one of the boxes that things changed.
Everyone was shocked to discover that the contents of the box were actually a terrifying-looking spirit beast.
The spirit beast was entirely crimson, with a strange, jet-black appearance. Its face was a horizontal oval shape, and its mouthful of fangs almost covered most of its face.
Many people are unfamiliar with this mythical beast.
However, Chen Xueqing was immediately startled and whispered:
"Demon Fang!"
Yu Changsheng quickly asked, "Demon Fang Beast? What kind of spirit beast is that? Why does it look so strange?"
Chen Xueqin's face was gloomy, and she looked worried.
"Several hundred years ago, the North Sea region faced an extremely dangerous catastrophe."
"Countless people were attacked by a strange and monstrous beast, which devoured their flesh and blood, a truly horrific sight."
"Moreover, there were an extremely large number of those spirit beasts. It was only through the combined efforts of various sects that these spirit beasts were completely wiped out."
"And this Demon Fang Beast is the juvenile form of that spirit beast."
"Now, hundreds of years have passed, and many people have long forgotten it, but the secrets of the Sea Beast Island still record this catastrophe."
"I never expected that after hundreds of years, I would still be able to see these Demon Fang Beasts again, which I thought had been completely wiped out."
Yu Changsheng nodded slightly after hearing this. It seemed that Zhao De had somehow obtained this Demon Fang Beast.
Logically speaking, such dangerous spirit beasts should be eradicated completely, but it seems that for some reason, some have been left alive.
As a pirate emperor, Zhao De plundered everywhere, so it's not impossible that he obtained these things from somewhere.
And among the people, very few know about this thing.
Many people still thought it was just a rather ferocious-looking spirit beast. (End of Chapter)
