Chapter 1590: Chapter 1590

Under the Bronze Bell, Long Fei made a new discovery.

The Black Iron Staff in his hand looked very much like the Bell Hammer within the Bronze Bell.

He secretly guessed if this Black Iron Staff was indeed the Bell Hammer.

Wang Shaoqing and Zhang Lingfeng knew they were no match for Long Fei, so they stopped trying to be brave and fled with their disciples.

But above their heads, a gigantic handprint appeared, grabbing them firmly within it.

Their Divine Sea was forcibly sealed, tightly bound by a green vine.

Long Fei ordered his disciples to capture the two old figures, letting all the remaining disciples go to report back.

The bustling beach finally quieted down.

The disciples of the Yin Yang Sect were new here and didn’t expect to encounter such a big scene.

Everyone tidied up the battlefield, piled the pirate corpses together, and burned them, restoring the beach to its original look in no time.

Inside the Crystal Dragon Palace, Lin Yingying had already hidden the Crystal Barrier within this realm, leaving only the hall and dwellings visible.

Everything blended seamlessly with the surrounding landscapes, looking as if it was added on the island later.

The inner hall here will be designated for Inner Sect Disciples to reside in the future.

As for the newly arrived Outer Sect Disciples, they will live in the existing Taoist temples outside the island. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥

Without needing instructions from Long Fei, Hua Qianmo already arranged for the Mo Family disciples to start planning on the island.

They will reside here long-term, so naturally, they want to make it comfortable.

The island villagers gathered their kin’s corpses together and, following the local Ocean Clan’s tradition, placed them on a ship, sailed out to sea, and set fire to it.

Originally over five hundred villagers, only a little over a hundred survived now.

They would have been absolutely safe staying in the island’s center; there is no way the pirates’ cannons could reach that far.

However, the Clan Leader was worried about the array and led the villagers to guard the small hill by the sea, hence they met their misfortune.

The Clan Leader’s daughter also died in this turmoil, aging him several years instantly.

Long Fei still wanted them to stay on the island, but the Clan Leader and villagers were eager to leave.

No matter how good here, it’s not their homeland.

After this disaster, it seems these people cannot die on their native soil.

Now that the pirates have been exterminated, leaving behind a dozen warships on the beach.

After returning, there shouldn’t be any large pirate forces gathering temporarily.

Long Fei let the Clan Leader carefully consider whether to leave or stay, leaving the decision to them.

He returned to the newly arranged office hall, where Wang Shaoqing and Zhang Lingfeng were tied up and detained.

Their minds were muddled, as they had visited this island before.

Back then, they never saw such a magnificent hall complex here, looking even grander than their Sect.

After entering, Long Fei asked Fat Wang and four others to pour them a cup of tea and bring it in.

The two were emotionally agitated, shouting at Long Fei, "Why don’t you kill us! Are you insane, demanding from our Three Sects a million Spirit Stones? Do you know what a million Spirit Stones even means?"

Long Fei sat across from them, lightly smiling, "Why get so agitated, Elders? It’s just business. Even if I set the price, you can negotiate. Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I might offer you a twenty percent discount!"

Wang Shaoqing snorted, "Even if it’s a ten percent discount, we couldn’t afford it."

Long Fei raised his eyebrows, "So, does this mean your position within the Sect is quite low?"

Wang Shaoqing’s old face flushed, as this wasn’t about status, their Three Sects’ fundamental principle was survival of the fittest.

Within the Sect, there was only profit, no friendship.

Getting the Sect to spend a million Spirit Stones to redeem them? That’s simply impossible.

After Fat Wang brought in the tea, Long Fei released the green vine, allowing them to stay here freely.

Their Divine Sea was sealed by Long Fei and were no different from ordinary people.

Escaping from Dragon Palace would be seeking death itself.

He reassured the two elders to stay here peacefully, waiting for news from their sect.

After leaving, Fat Wang closed the door, discontentedly pulling Long Fei aside, asking "Brother-in-law, why keep these two here? They’re both stubborn and worthless, yet we still have to serve their food and drink, it’s not worth it."

Long Fei asked with a smile, "What do you think, will they ransom with a million Spirit Stones?"

Fat Wang confidently said, "Of course not! A million Spirit Stones is hard for even a first-rate Sect to gather."

Long Fei nodded, "That’s right. Since they won’t pay, naturally they’ll find a way to deny it. If they want to deny, they’ll need to rally their forces to eliminate us. By then, we’ll occupy the moral high ground.

If fellow cultivators in the Cultivation World inquire, they’ll understand it was they who attacked us; we had no choice but to retaliate. We’re not targeting resources from their home, robbing them actively. Whatever we do, we must have reason and basis!"

He patted Fat Wang’s shoulder, hummed a tune, and left.

Fat Wang watched him, rubbing his head, unable to comprehend for a while.

Meanwhile, Tan Yaozong and four others at the door gave a thumbs up, praising "A Master indeed, always thinking about others’ cultivation resources while acting impartial. We admire, admire!"

"Is this how things operate in this world’s Cultivation World?"

Fat Wang shook his head, cursing his seemingly kind yet manipulative brother-in-law, thicker-skinned than himself.

Inside the hall, Wang Shaoqing and Zhang Lingfeng heard their conversation, almost furious enough to spit blood.

After all this time, Long Fei never truly regarded them; they were just a pretext for deliberately provoking the Three Sects.

They silently prayed for the Three Sects not to provoke this Demon Chief, hoping neglecting the Demon Chief would ensure their safety.

This thinking was evidently unrealistic.

What kind of Sect were the Three Sects? They always bullied others; no one dared to bully them.

After returning with the news, the entire Sect exploded.

They didn’t anticipate the newly established, unknown Sect to be so arrogant.

Not only had they exterminated five Sects under their protection but also captured their Sect’s elders.

This anger, how could they swallow it?

The Sea King Sect, the Sea Spirit Sect, and the Pirate Sect’s Sect Masters and elders immediately convened to discuss countermeasures.

The Sea King Sect’s Sect Master Yama was still a reasonable person, consistently trading with overseas, always feeling something was amiss here.

The Pirate Sect’s Sect Master was impulsive; they’re mostly Body Cultivators surviving at sea through killing, plundering - blood on knife edge.

Now someone dared to provoke their Pirate Sect, and they were eager to retaliate tenfold.

Especially since the elders of the Sea Spirit Sect and Sea King Sect were alive.

Yet, the Pirate Sect’s elder Han Yidao was outright killed, simply a deliberate affront to their Pirate Sect.
