Protagonist:

Yu Changsheng

Gui Xie was also captured by the combined efforts of Yu Changsheng and the others; as for the other Purple Mansion True Lords, they captured more than three of them.

The remaining few were slain, and the number of other pirates captured exceeded three hundred.

Seeing so many people, Wei Lao also nodded in satisfaction.

"Hehe, this time's harvest is not bad; it seems my Wanxiang Sect fulfilling the requirements from above is no longer a problem."

Yu Changsheng immediately sealed the cultivation bases of several people, and left a portion of disciples to guard these several hundred people.

As for the others, they still had to proceed to the next destination.

"Changsheng, where are we going now?"

With this huge harvest, the other few Wanxiang Sect Purple Mansion True Lords were also rubbing their hands in anticipation; just the treasures in the Purple Mansion True Lords' storage bags alone gave them a bountiful harvest.

The disciples below also each had their gains, all beaming with joy.

Yu Changsheng said: "I have already dispatched disciples in advance to scout the situation of the other three families."

"After the news returns, we will then see who to strike next."

At the same time.

On a sea island far from Yu Changsheng's mine cave.

Xue Hongmei, Fan Hai Long, and Ji Tian, the three of them, had already gathered together.

"Where is that guy Gui Xie? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Could it be he already ran away on his own?"

"That guy's guts aren't that small; who knows what he's dilly-dallying about?"

The few people waited anxiously, because the four's original plan was to plunder their respective islands clean, then immediately join forces to make a move against Lei Pangzi.

They absolutely had to seize back the supreme treasure in Lei Pangzi's hands.

"Forget it, can't wait any longer; if we let Lei Pangzi escape, the loss would be huge."

"Right, set out immediately to find Lei Pangzi!"

The few people had long since planted informants in Lei Pangzi's pirate group, ready to send them Lei Pangzi's location at any time.

At this moment, unable to wait for Gui Xie to appear any longer, the few people no longer waited and immediately gave chase.

Lei Pangzi was still searching for Yu Changsheng's tracks during this while, but after searching the entire area around the mine cave, he found no trace.

Inside the entire mine cave, there were also no longer any traces of Yu Changsheng's people.

They captured some slow-running Wanxiang Sect disciples nearby at the time.

But these people also didn't know Yu Changsheng's specific location; in a rage, Lei Pangzi slaughtered all these innocent disciples.

Lei Pangzi's mood was extremely bad at this moment; deep down there was always a kind of ominous premonition, making him increasingly feel he had been played by Yu Changsheng.

But right now he also didn't know what to do.

Just as Lei Pangzi's heart gave rise to thoughts of retreat, preparing to leave.

Yet suddenly a subordinate came to report, saying they had discovered the tracks of the other three pirate groups.

"Finally they've come after all!"

Lei Pangzi gritted his teeth; originally he planned to leave immediately after obtaining the supreme treasure.

Who would have thought the supreme treasure wasn't found, yet instead he was targeted by others.

"Hmph! These guys truly aren't satisfied with the profits of a single mine cave; what was bound to come has still come!"

"Go, let's go meet them!"

Before long, Xue Hongmei's three parties' subordinates had already surrounded Lei Pangzi tightly.

Although Lei Pangzi's strength was the strongest among the few, with numerous experts.

Yet under the three's combined forces, he also fell into a disadvantage.

"Lei Pangzi, congratulations!" Ji Tian suddenly spoke.

Lei Pangzi smiled without it reaching his eyes, puzzled: "What happy occasion?"

"Yu Changsheng isn't here, so it must be you who obtained that supreme treasure, right? How about it? Should also let us broaden our horizons?"

"Exactly, Lei Pangzi, don't be so stingy."

At the mention of this, Lei Pangzi felt a blockage in his chest, and said displeasedly: "What supreme treasure? Laozi hasn't even seen a shadow of it."

Fan Hai Long said disdainfully: "Hey, Lei Pangzi, do you take us three for children, so easily fooled?"

Lei Pangzi knew explaining wouldn't make it clear no matter how he explained, but still said: "The treasure is with Yu Changsheng."

The three all looked at Lei Pangzi with faces full of contempt.

"Lei Pangzi, with so many of you, you let a single Yu Changsheng escape?"

"If you don't let us broaden our horizons, not even giving this bit of face, then don't blame us for not giving you face either!"

Lei Pangzi said: "Tell you and you don't believe either! That guy had already taken the treasure and left before my people went to search for the treasure."

"If you don't believe, you can first catch Yu Changsheng's people, then come confront us."

The three exchanged a glance; at this moment they also somewhat doubted whether Lei Pangzi's words were true or false.

"Then where is Yu Changsheng right now?"

"How would I know? If I had caught him, how could you still see me?"

"Put that way, you want to pull a 'dead men tell no tales' and pin all the blame on Yu Changsheng's head? That's quite the clever calculation!"

Lei Pangzi's face flushed crimson with suppressed rage; by now he had already killed Yu Zhangsheng a thousand times over in his heart.

"Then you tell me, how am I supposed to testify?"

Xue Hongmei smiled and said, "Call out the Storage Bags of all of you and let us inspect them; if there is nothing, we will naturally believe you."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Lei Pangzi flew into a rage — producing everyone's Storage Bags for others to see, what kind of joke is this? Who are they? Pirates! Once these Storage Bags are taken out, can they ever be gotten back? Besides, where would his face be put?

Ji Tian coldly laughed: "So you mean you're not cooperating?"

Anger instantly turned tense; everyone fell silent.

The surrounding pirates watched with predatory intent; Lei Pangzi glanced left and right and gave them a meaningful look.

The two instantly understood, thinking Lei Pangzi wanted them to call for help, and immediately shot off rapidly in one direction.

"Catch them! Don't let a single one escape!"

Xue Hongmei and the other two immediately attacked; all the Sub-Talisman True Lord experts followed suit.

A great battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out; Lei Pangzi's subordinates resisted to the death.

Amid the chaos, Lei Pangzi saw the situation was unfavorable and immediately fled at top speed.

Fan Hailong was the first to realize something was wrong and roared: "Lei Pangzi is trying to run! He absolutely cannot be allowed to escape!"

Only then did the few of them react.

Lei Pangzi letting two subordinates escape from the start was to make the three think the supreme treasure was in their hands.

Waiting until the situation was chaotic and everyone's attention was drawn, this Lei Pangzi surprisingly didn't attack at all, single-mindedly intent on escape.

"Truly a cunning scoundrel! Don't let him get away!"

Fan Hailong condensed a stream of water vapor around his body, then sped across the sea surface, towering waves churning in his wake.

Lei Pangzi could be said to have employed every means at his disposal; anything blocking his path ahead was driven away with various treasures and Talismans.

Consumables were scattered like they cost nothing, instantly causing massive casualties.

Fan Hailong's head ached from the pursuit; this Lei Pangzi cultivated a Thunder Attribute technique, his speed extremely fast.

Among the three, Fan Hailong's speed was the fastest, yet he still couldn't catch up.

And this was with obstacles in Lei Pangzi's path ahead.

Seeing the pirates ahead growing fewer and fewer, Lei Pangzi's spirits soared, and he threw another large handful of explosive Talismans behind him to hinder Fan Hailong's pursuit.

Fan Hailong was harassed by these explosive Talismans to the point of a splitting headache.

Although the power of these Talismans posed almost no threat to him, he still had to spend time dodging. This back-and-forth consumed a moment, and for the speed of Sub-Talisman True Lords, the gap widened rapidly in that brief time.

Before long, Lei Pangzi was almost out of sight; at this point, even if Fan Hailong wanted to chase, he could no longer catch up.

"Damn it, he actually let this guy escape!"

Fan Hailong cursed inwardly, then rejoined the other two and relayed the news.

Xue Hongmei and Ji Tian let out a long sigh, with no intention of blaming Fan Hailong.

Lei Pangzi's speed was there for all to see.

"What to do now? This Lei Pangzi has fled, he certainly won't let the matter rest."

The power behind this Lei Pangzi is not small; the three know this, otherwise he couldn't have had the strength to preside over the Pirate Stronghold.

Xue Hongmei sighed lightly, "Now we can only kill; we cannot let a single one of Lei Pangzi's subordinates survive!"

Fan Hailong's heart skipped a beat; this woman was actually so ruthless. But her words also made sense — not a single person here could be left alive.

In the future, any one of them could become a sword thrust into them.

Ji Tian's eyes reddened, "Kill! Only by killing them all."

The three immediately joined the melee; although Lei Pangzi had fled, his subordinates' numbers were still not few.

Especially Sub-Talisman True Lord experts — compared to the three, they were only a few fewer.

This battle was destined to be tragic; wanting to not let a single one escape was even more difficult.

The three also went all out, unleashing every means, determined to exterminate Lei Pangzi's subordinates to the last man.

Not only did ordinary pirates suffer extremely heavy losses, even the losses among Daoneng Sub-Talisman True Lords were not few.

News of the fierce battle here quickly reached Yu Zhangsheng.

"Unexpectedly they actually started fighting." Wei Lao was also extremely surprised upon seeing this news.

Yu Zhangsheng smiled and said: "Looks like they're fighting among themselves over that non-existent supreme treasure."

"Perfect, we'll just reap the fisherman's profit; wait until they've fought each other almost to exhaustion, then we'll make our move."

"Good! This plan is excellent."

Several Wanxiang Sect Sub-Talisman True Lords also revealed smiles; they had originally thought a bitter battle lay ahead, but now it was obviously going to be much easier.

"Right, although Lei Pangzi escaped, he remains a danger; send out some disciples to search outside, see if they can find any traces."

Yu Zhangsheng didn't forget this Lei Pangzi, immediately dispatching disciples to search; whether they find anything depends on Luck.

As for Xue Hongmei, the three, and Lei Pangzi's subordinates, this battle raged until heaven and earth darkened.

The strength gap between the two sides actually wasn't very large; the biggest gap was merely the number of Sub-Talisman True Lords.

Finally, after a full day and night of battle, the fighting neared its end.

Xue Hongmei's originally exquisite makeup now made her look like a madwoman; her hair curled wildly, her clothes torn to rags.

Fan Hailong had one arm severed, his whole body gravely wounded. Ji Tian, the strongest of the three, was also in poor shape.

This battle was an enormous drain on each of the three's forces; several Sub-Talisman True Lord experts died alone.

The heavily wounded were even more numerous.

As for Lei Pangzi's subordinates, not a single one survived.

The three's hearts bled; every Sub-Talisman True Lord expert's value is exceedingly precious.

The three of them had struggled on the sea for so many years to accumulate these men; in this battle, almost all of them were lost.

To recover, who knows how many years it would take.

The things robbed from the mine cave are simply insufficient to make up for the loss of the Purple Mansion True Lords' deaths.

"Damn it, if we had Gui Xie with us, the four families joining forces, how could we have suffered such a miserable victory today."

Originally, the four families sparring together, their strength could suppress Lei Pangzi, forcing Lei Pangzi to hand over the supreme treasure.

That way they could get the thing without paying much cost.

However, Gui Xie's sudden disappearance completely disrupted the three's plan.

The most critical thing is, Lei Pangzi ran away, and the thing wasn't obtained either.

Losing so many people for no reason, this time the three can be said to have fallen flat on their faces.

"Forget it, quickly clean up the battlefield, let's hurry and leave this place of right and wrong!"

None of them wanted to stay in this place, just about to leave.

But suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Several seniors, don't be in such a rush to leave!"

Only heard Yu Zhangsheng shout, then bringing the Wanxiang Sect forces he arrived.

The three were as if facing a great enemy; at this moment everyone was in a state of extreme exhaustion, morale also extremely low.

And Yu Zhangsheng suddenly bringing so many people over, it always made the several feel a strong sense of ill intent.

"Yu Zhangsheng, you actually didn't die!"

The several saw Yu Zhangsheng's face, all had a feeling of extreme terror.

Yu Zhangsheng said in puzzlement: "Who told you I died?"

Ji Tian said in shock: "Then you actually managed to leave alive from Lei Pangzi's hands?"

Yu Zhangsheng laughed: "If you want to blame, blame Lei Pangzi's subordinates for being too greedy, for the supreme treasure they completely ignored me."

"But what I didn't expect was, Lei Pangzi actually ran from your hands, truly disappointing."

Ji Tian gritted his teeth looking upward, "Yu Zhangsheng, what exactly is your plan coming here?"

Yu Zhangsheng crossed his arms, looking down from above, "No plan, just giving you all a choice, surrender or die!"

Wei Lao at the side wore a faint smile, this feeling was truly wonderful.

"You!"

The three were furious, "Yu Zhangsheng, could all this be your doing!"

Lu Sandao at the side burst into loud laughter, "Hahaha, you few idiots, that supreme treasure doesn't exist at all! You were all tricked!"

"You were played round and round and still don't know it, reached this point and still can't figure out the situation!"

Xue Hongmei gritted her silver teeth, gaze fierce, "Lu Sandao, you actually colluded with outsiders to harm us!"

Lu Sandao said indifferently: "We are pirates! Less nonsense, if not surrendering, don't blame the black saber in my hand!"

Yu Zhangsheng and Wei Lao and the others exchanged a look, the several immediately scattered to surround the several, preventing them from suddenly escaping.

Ji Tian shouted in anger, suddenly charging toward Yu Zhangsheng.

However just as everyone thought he would act, only saw Ji Tian's body suddenly burst out a patch of smoke, covering all around.

Yu Zhangsheng was stunned, didn't expect this Ji Tian still had such means.

But he also wasn't a vegetarian, immediately summoned Cai Xing Deer, with a cry of deer cries, the surrounding ground cracked, one thick vine after another rose from the ground.

Countless vines intertwined and entangled, enveloping all the surrounding space within.

The endless vines although unable to threaten the opposite people, also greatly hindered their movements.

Most importantly, able to let Cai Xing Deer discover the enemy's position at the first moment.

Letting Yu Zhangsheng also be able to immediately lock on.

In the smoke, Ji Tian who had already run far was quickly forced out by the vines.

And at this time, Yu Zhangsheng had already killed over.

Mie Mo Fist directly boom onto Ji Tian's face.

That Ji Tian simply didn't have time to react, was knocked unconscious by Yu Zhangsheng's heavy strike.

The several had just experienced a great battle, completely not recovered, can only say Yu Zhangsheng came at truly the right time. (Chapter End)
