Chapter 1594: Chapter 1594
In the mining area, Long Fei had initially wanted to find work for the island’s villagers.
In the morning, the Clan Leader sent a letter.
He said he wanted to take everyone back to their hometown and hoped Long Fei could sponsor them with some ships.
He knew that a large number of pirates had already been wiped out, so going back now shouldn’t be a problem.
Long Fei gave them all the pirate ships he had captured yesterday, each one a large ship of over a hundred tons.
They set sail early in the morning, not wanting to get involved in the Cultivation World conflicts. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽
Explosions that could destroy the heavens and the earth, thunder and lightning—these villagers couldn’t handle it.
As soon as they left, the mines below were abandoned.
Long Fei, ignoring the disciples’ whispers, instead became more and more enthused, even having Hua Qianmo transform the mines into a place for relaxation.
With some renovation inside, one could enjoy hotpot and play mahjong there—it would definitely be comfortable.
Hua Qianmo couldn’t help herself and softly reminded him, "Sect Hierarch, the enemy is about to attack!"
Long Fei patted her shoulder, smiling lightly, "Relax, some pirates can’t cause too big a wave."
But Hua Qianmo disagreed, as these pirate ships were equipped with large-caliber cannons.
If they all fired at once, even if no harm came to them, the island’s flora would be blasted into ruins.
Then, living here would be no different from living among ruins.
No matter what Long Fei was doing, she had the disciples assemble immediately, preparing to attack the pirates’ warships in batches.
They would eliminate them at sea before they could fire their cannons.
This time, the Three Sects launched a large-scale attack but did not plan to go ashore.
The Sect Masters of the Three Sects discussed on the command ship and decided to first blockade the sea area, and conduct a series of bombardments around Jade Island.
Regardless of whether they could hit anyone, they would first teach these kidnappers a lesson, letting them know who the real pirates were.
The Sect Masters of the three sects understood well that relying on their own strength, they probably couldn’t wipe out the experts on the island.
They had already spread the information, and in less than a day, experts from the sea would come to investigate the reality.
By then, they would draw this fire to Jade Island and solve the matter effortlessly by using others as tools.
When they were fifty miles from Jade Island, a lookout quickly sent a message that a large fleet had been seen approaching from the northwest direction.
The Sea King Sect’s Sect Master Yama raised his eyebrows, "Coming so quickly, whose fleet is this?"
The Sea Spirit Sect’s Sect Master Su Quan said, "In this sea area, I’ve never heard of any force with a large fleet ."
Ding Mu shouted, "Who cares whose fleet it is, why not just send someone to ask?"
Yama nodded, "At critical moments, we must not be careless. Have Outer Sect Elder Li Wenyang take people over to say hello and see if they are friend or foe!"
The disciple responsible for communication cupped his hands and quickly went out to give orders.
Li Wenyang originally did not want to participate in such large-scale combat actions, being the Outer Sect Elder responsible for external reception duties.
Previously, he would only discuss business and build relationships.
Now, he was asked to walk on the edge of a knife, and he was very reluctant.
But since the Sect Master had ordered it, he had no choice but to go.
For the sake of safety, Li Wenyang chose over ten elite Inner Sect Disciples to accompany him.
These Inner Sect Disciples were all of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level.
Usually, they were treasures in the Sect Leader’s hands, only responsible for cultivation; they never stooped to banditry.
One after another, sword lights cut through the sky, quickly heading toward the fleet in the northwest.
"Hey, someone’s coming?"
The Golden-Winged Roc in the opposing fleet had the keenest eyes and immediately reminded everyone on the ship.
The Bald Dog screeched to Chu Feng, "Second Brother, what do we do?"
Chu Feng stared at the sword lights, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips, "We’re government forces. What need do we have to talk to pirates? Sea Demon Ape, your stomach is the biggest; just eat them up later."
The Sea Demon Ape stood up in opposition, "I don’t eat humanoid creatures!"
The Golden-Winged Roc complained nastily, "Leave it to me then!"
It was accustomed to eating humans, different from humanoid beings like the Sea Demon Ape.
Chu Feng chuckled lightly, "Great Eagle, then I appoint you as the vanguard for eating people."
The Golden-Winged Roc protested, "Second Brother, my name is Golden-Winged Roc, not Great Eagle!"
The name sounded quite inelegant, making the Golden-Winged Roc blush.
Chu Feng shook his head, sighed lightly, "Uneducated eagle, this name comes from the poem of a great personage."
He coughed and loudly recited, "Alas, Qin Emperor, Han Wu—slightly lacking in literary talent; Tang and Song ancestors—slightly less charming. A generation of heroes, Genghis Khan, only knew how to shoot the Great Eagle with a bend of the bow..."
The Golden-Winged Roc’s head nearly exploded, unable to wait for him to finish before shooting out in a burst of golden light.
It flashed and blocked the front of Li Wenyang.
Li Wenyang and a group of disciples immediately halted in mid-air, seeing a feathered person with golden hair standing eerily before them, causing them all to tremble with fear.
Li Wenyang politely cupped his hands and communicated with the Golden-Winged Roc, "May I ask which sect you all belong to? We are from the Sea King Sect, here to receive fellow Daoists."
The Golden-Winged Roc squinted its eyes, laughing nastily, "I’m from the Cannibal Sect!"
It suddenly changed form into a gigantic Golden Roc over ten meters in size, opened its mouth, and swallowed Li Wenyang.
The Sea King Sect disciples behind were dumbfounded, and once they reacted, cried out in shock, "Elder!"
A group of disciples trembled as they picked up their longswords and charged at the Golden-Winged Roc.
The Golden-Winged Roc opened its mouth wide, a layer of golden barrier formed by its golden feathers not fearing their sword lights at all.
It crazily gulped, creating a massive suction force, opening its mouth to swallow three people in one bite.
The other disciples, terrified out of their wits, turned tail and fled.
The Golden-Winged Roc’s speed was tremendous, chasing after them with its mouth open, swallowing these disciples one by one.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; these disciples didn’t even understand the situation before being reduced to bloody mist in its stomach, quickly digested.
The disciples observing from the Three Sects were so frightened that they hurried to the command ship, and upon seeing the Sect Masters, they trembled and wailed, "Sect Master, people are being eaten; it’s a demon on the other side, and it ate Elder Li Wenyang."
The Three Sect Masters rose in shock, left the cabin, stepped into the air, and stared tightly at the fleet coming from the opposite side.
It was still the Sea Spirit Sect’s Sect Master Su Quan, widely experienced, who curiously asked, "Everyone, look quickly, don’t these flags on the fleets look like the Great Xia Country’s battle flags?"
Yama took a look, this battle flag with a white background and Azure Dragon pattern, and on it, a large "Xia" character!
He exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that the government forces have arrived?"
Ding Mu cursed, "It must be those bastards from Jade Island who called in the government forces. Cultivation World battles, and they ask the government forces for help, truly shameless!"
Yama furrowed his brow, "There’s also a possibility, that perhaps they are the government forces themselves!"
All the leaders in the cabin were surprised, thinking that this time they might indeed be facing big trouble.
