Chapter 278

The two sides reached a friendly cooperation,

Li Xiao would help them solve the immediate problem,

while they would be responsible for taking Li Xiao along to Jiayadao!

Li Xiao raised his head and looked around,

smiling as he spoke:

"Just now, who was it that said they wanted to kill me?"

The moment these words came out,

the members of the Blood Leopard Pirate Crew collectively stepped back,

leaving Orf alone at the very front!

As if,

he had voluntarily stepped out from the crowd on his own!

Seeing this,

Orf instantly flared up with rage,

wishing he could slaughter these useless trash on the spot!

However,

given the current situation,

the first thing he had to consider,

was surviving in front of Li Xiao first!

Under the threat of death,

Orf decisively backed down,

immediately bowing repeatedly toward Li Xiao,

apologizing in a panic:

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't recognize you just now, I didn't know they were your friends!"

"We'll leave right now! We'll leave right now!"

Having said that,

Orf no longer cared about the rest of the Blood Leopard Pirate Crew,

turned his head and sprinted toward the tavern's door,

trying to escape!

However,

just at this moment,

a voice reached his ears from behind him.

"If apologies worked, what would we need swords for?"

The next second,

sword light flashed,

a head hit the ground!

…………

Several hours later,

on the boundless sea surface,

a merchant ship was sailing slowly along.

On the deck,

Li Xiao casually tossed his fishhook into the sea,

fixed the fishing rod at the edge of the deck,

then lowered his head and began reading a thick book in his hands.

At this time,

besides Li Xiao,

there were also several crew members on the deck.

Each of them was doing their own thing,

but their gazes would sneak peeks at Li Xiao from time to time,

their eyes full of reverence!

After casually beheading Orf with a single sword strike,

the remaining members of the Blood Leopard Pirate Crew scattered and fled!

Regarding this,

Li Xiao did not continue the pursuit,

but instead returned to the merchant ship with Wei En and his group,

and then continued setting out toward Jiayadao!

As for Orf's head, worth 17 million Berries,

not to mention Li Xiao currently had no need for Berries,

even if he did,

given his current net worth,

he truly couldn't be bothered with that little bit of money!

However,

Li Xiao looked down on it,

but that didn't mean others would too!

After Li Xiao left,

the bounty on Orff's head, worth 1,700, sparked another round of chaos in the tavern!

Even some members of the Blood Leopard Pirate Crew who had fled earlier came back,

joining the scramble!

But all of this,

had nothing to do with Li Xiao anymore,

at most the news that he had once appeared on that small island would spread.

Wei En, having been injured,

stayed in the cabin to recuperate after returning to the ship.

Li Xiao, meanwhile, sat alone on the deck,

seemingly fishing,

but in truth most of his attention was on the thick "Heavenly Net Wondrous Formation Atlas" in his hands!

Modifying the Ark Maxim was no simple matter!

Normally speaking,

in the true cultivation world,

this kind of Xian Sect warship was built by pooling the strength of an entire sect!

Dedicated artifact refiners were in charge,

assisted by cultivators who specialized in Formations and the like,

Plus, auxiliary support from cultivators specializing in the Formation category,

this was professionals doing professional work!

Li Xiao, on the other hand, was a complete self-taught amateur,

his understanding of this aspect

might not even amount to half-baked level!

One Zero

Six Four^【

an understanding of the seven-four-six sides,

might not even qualify as half-baked!
