Dark Currents Stir

Zi Zhenzhu led all the crew members and carefully landed on the island.

However, contrary to Zi Zhenzhu's expectations, the entire island was unusually quiet.

The morning sun shines on the beach, casting a dazzling Golden Light.

White waves gently wash over the beach, creating a scene of tranquility.

However, the beautiful and tranquil environment did not soothe Zi Zhenzhu's tense heart.

Her brows furrowed, and she looked intently into the interior of the island.

She wondered to herself, "What's going on? Haven't they landed on the island yet? Why is it so quiet?"

Just as she was beginning to have doubts, she saw the outpost not far away.

At the same time, she also saw three bodies that had fallen to the ground.

She hurried forward and saw three heads with their eyes closed peacefully, a chill running down her spine.

The old pirate beside her exclaimed in astonishment, "What a swift attack! Judging from their expressions, they didn't even have time to react."

"Is this the outside help the team leader found?"

Zi Zhenzhu thought bitterly to herself, "How could I possibly find such an outside help?"

However, Zi Zhenzhu also knew that now was not the time to say these things.

She immediately led her crew to the center of the island.

However, as they ventured deeper, they came across countless headless corpses, lying peacefully on the cold ground.

Some people seem to die suddenly while they are still cooking.

The aroma of food wafted through the tranquil village.

At this moment, both Zi Zhenzhu and the other Pirate Group members were stunned by the stark contrast in the scene before them.

An indescribable sense of fear swirled in my heart.

"So many people have died, yet there isn't a trace of blood."

That's terrifying!

Only then did Zi Zhenzhu notice the incongruity.

She had walked about halfway and seen hundreds of corpses, but she couldn't smell any blood.

After a brief pause, they quickened their pace.

Fifteen minutes had passed since we landed on the island.

The Purple Pearl Pirate Group have arrived at the center of Golden Sand Island.

The central buildings were clearly a level above the surrounding buildings. In the center of the many stone houses, the group finally saw Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

Behind the two, there were wooden crates as tall as two people, some of which had been opened and were filled with dazzling gems and treasures.

Clearly, these are various treasures collected by the Golden Sand Pirate Group.

However, none of the members of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group felt a trace of greed upon seeing the countless treasures.

This was because Quan Yi and Huo Wu, standing in front of the treasure chest, exuded a terrifying, chilling Murderous Aura.

Those who were weaker had strange afterimages appear before their eyes after just one glance at the two figures.

Even the strongest Zi Zhenzhu couldn't stop trembling when standing in front of the two.

Quan Yi noticed the performance of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.

He smiled faintly and said, "You've finally arrived. We need your help to sort out this mess."

As he spoke, the intense Murderous Aura emanating from Quan Yi returned to his own body.

The terrifying Murderous Aura brought by killing a thousand people could not affect Quan Yi's mind at all under Quan Yi's powerful Divine Power.

Although Huo Wu's kill count was less than five hundred, they were all the most powerful Spirit Master, and the Murderous Aura she accumulated was no less than that of Quan Yi.

However, this Murderous Aura had no effect on Huo Wu, whose Divine Power was formidable.

Moreover, having received Huo Wu Sacrifice of the Phoenix's Residual Spirit, Sea of Consciousness inherited the purifying power of the Phoenix Flame.

A mere murderous Murderous Aura couldn't shake Huo Wu's resolve.

However, after the Slaughter, their minds underwent a significant transformation.

The various hesitations in their hearts gradually dissipated, and after this experience, they would become more resolute.

As warriors, they have clearly undergone a transformation.

Looking at Quan Yi, who was so adept at controlling his movements, Zi Zhenzhu felt a sense of submission towards Quan Yi and Huo Wu.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

I will clean it up.

Zi Zhenzhu immediately led her crew to clean up the mess.

They burned corpses, freed imprisoned slaves, and collected treasures and materials scattered in various places.

Thanks to their more than fifty Spirit Master and over four hundred strong pirates, they were able to complete all the work before sunset.

At night, Zi Zhenzhu stood respectfully before Quan Yi, reporting the specific information about Golden Sand Island.

"The Golden Sand Pirate Group possess forty ships and assets and treasures worth over one million Gold Soul Coin."

On the island, apart from the 521 freed slaves, a total of 1,942 corpses were burned.

Those slaves have been placed in the Pirate Group's quarters, and they are now settled.

In addition, the island has many Fertile Field, which, according to our assessment, can fully support three thousand people to be self-sufficient.

"Sir, is there anything else you require?"

Quan Yi sat in front of the campfire, deep in thought, and then commanded, "You've done well. That's enough for today."

Tomorrow we're heading to Demon Dove Island, so let everyone go back and get some rest.

Zi Zhenzhu bowed and slowly retreated.

Her attitude now showed more reverence than at the beginning.

Huo Wu sat down next to Quan Yi and asked, "What do you plan to do with these people? More than five hundred slaves is no small number."

"These people can be settled on Golden Sand Island for now. Once we conquer Demon Dove Island, our fleet can enter the island, and at that time, they will be properly dealt with by their families."

Slavery, which has been swept into the dustbin of history, still exists on this isolated island far from the mainland.

In the lawless Sea Area, the Law of the jungle prevails even more.

Pirate Group like the Purple Pearl Pirate Group are few and far between when it comes to supporting the weak.

It was precisely for this reason that Quan Yi chose Golden Sand Island and Demon Dove Island as his targets without hesitation.

That night, the Sea Area Golden Sand Island was calm and still. The day was just like any other, without any waves.

However, no one knows that a surging undercurrent is gathering.

The Zi Zhenzhu set sail from Golden Sand Island early the next morning.

However, this time, the Pirate Group left half of its members behind to take over Golden Sand Island.

Meanwhile, the other half went to Demon Dove Island.

After a day's voyage, the ship arrived at the Sea Area near Demon Dove Island as the sun set.

After a day of rest, Quan Yi and Huo Wu's condition not only fully recovered, but even showed a significant improvement.

It should be noted that after evolving into the Ultimate Fire, the speed at which the two improved their cultivation was comparable to that of a tortoise.

Especially Huo Wu, who doesn't have the support of Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Horns, her cultivation speed is slower than Quan Yi's.

However, I never expected that engaging in a real battle would actually help improve Spirit Master's cultivation level.

This made Huo Wu even more eager for her trip to Demon Dove Island.

As the sun set, ten ships were scattered around the Sea Area around Demon Dove Island.

Most of them were cruise ships.

In terms of the level of security, the Demon Dove Pirate Group were far more stringent Golden Sand Pirate Group.
