When Jiang Liu thought of this, he suppressed his resentment towards the Data Panel.
Since his cultivation of the Saintly Sky Art was thwarted, Jiang Liu simply stopped Saintly Sky Art operation and began cultivating the Star Cloud Saint Art instead.
When the Star Cloud Saint Art was activated, Jiang Liu could clearly feel that the surrounding vital energy was also affected.
However, the stars in the sky appeared significantly brighter than when they were on land.
Not only did it appear brighter, but Jiang Liu could also feel the Star Power being drawn in, which was even stronger.
After completing the second round of body strengthening, the Star Power drawn by the Star Cloud Saint Art can further consolidate and strengthen the body.
However, the effect was not as obvious as when I first used the Star Power to temper my body.
For Jiang Liu now, it's better than nothing.
After a night of cultivation, Jiang Liu sensed the negligible increase in vital energy in his dantian, sighed, and stood up to end his practice.
Jiang Liu saw some early risers already practicing their cultivation, while others were organizing their personal belongings.
After a night's rest, all the crew members on the large ship looked much more refreshed.
After all, they had experienced a fierce battle the night before last, and then they had desperately rowed their boats to get somewhere yesterday.
Not to mention those who Ranked Martial Practitioner, even Grandmaster Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue looked very tired.
After a night's rest, everyone regained their energy.
Sensing the approaching Jiang Liu, Ming Chengyun circulation.
He finished his practice, stood up, and asked Jiang Liu, "My lord, shall we set off today?"
Jiang Liu was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "What? What's going on?"
Ming Chengyun nodded and replied, "At dawn, the scout ship came to report that it had discovered several unidentified vessels entering the nearby waters."
"Unidentified vessel? Have you identified it?" Jiang Liu asked, puzzled.
Ming Chengyun shook his head and said, "There are no flags flying on the ship, so we don't know their identities."
"However, the people on their ship are dressed differently from the people we encountered on Seven Stars Island before."
"Different?" Jiang Liu took out the sea chart he was carrying and looked at it. Suddenly, he saw the islands to the east.
Jiang Liu asked, "Why are their clothes different?"
Previously, Ming Chengyun and Jiang Congyue were stationed in Mo Province and Li Province respectively when they were in the Martial Prohibition Hall.
Both states are far from the coast, so they have little knowledge of the inhabitants and conditions at sea.
Upon hearing Jiang Liu's question, Ming Chengyun immediately laughed, "The people on that boat were so poor that they didn't even have clothes to wear. They just wrapped a strip of cloth around their crotch and came out."
"Everyone was bare-chested, and most of their weapons were made of bamboo. They didn't even have shoes."
"The strangest thing is their hairstyle. They've almost shaved their heads, leaving just a loop. I guess they're too lazy to wash their hair!"
Upon hearing Ming Chengyun's description, Jiang Liu immediately knew who those people were; he hadn't expected them to really be these Wo Slaves.
Jiang Liu pointed to the islands along the nautical chart and said, "They should be the inhabitants of this place. This place is called East Wo Country, and the islands are inhabited by Wo Slaves."
"Wo Slaves from the East Wo Country? That's a fitting term; they're all short." Ming Chengyun said with a look of disdain.
"Where are they now?" Jiang Liu continued to ask.
"They are currently on a small island about three hours' journey from us. They have stopped there and dare not approach."
Jiang Liu thought to himself that these Wo Slaves must be afraid of the strength of Seven Stars Island, which is why they dared not approach easily.
Little did they know, this island is where we are now.
Jiang Liu glanced at the Seven Stars Island flag still flying above the Commander's Mansion on the island and said, "Put down the Seven Stars Island flag and send someone to lure those Wo Slaves over here."
"Does Your Excellency intend to capture them all in one fell swoop?" Ming Chengyun asked.
Jiang Liu nodded and said, "Several years ago, these Wo Slaves still harbored treacherous intentions towards us and sent people to cause trouble on the mainland. I discovered them and killed them."
"They probably came here with similar purposes, so we need to capture them all in one fell swoop."
"Yes, sir. I'll take care of it immediately." Ming Chengyun bowed and went to make the arrangements.
Not long after, two small boats set off, heading in the direction where the Wo Slaves had been discovered.
Jiang Liu then flew away from the island with the Fire-Winged Monkey, and went to a small island nearby to conceal their presence.
Jiang Liu was afraid that the Fire-Winged Monkey would scare them away, which would require extra effort.
It wasn't until dusk that the two small boats that had been sent out earlier finally arrived in a disheveled state, frantically rushing towards the outpost island.
Following behind were five slightly larger multi-storied ships, whose decks and upper floors were filled with shouting Wo Slaves.
It looked like it was going to grab those two small boats in front of it.
On the middle tower of the Wo Slaves, at this moment, on the top floor pavilion, three people were each holding a naked woman, sitting there drinking wine.
The woman in his arms was feeding them drinks and food.
There were two women each fanning them with palm-leaf fans.
Judging from the appearance of these women, they must have been abducted from nearby islands.
"Kishida-kun, are you sure the people on that island aren't from Sacred Blood Island?" A young man standing nearby asked the young man sitting in the center with a slightly worried expression.
"Please rest assured, Abe-kun, I have already ordered people to observe the situation in advance, and there was news that all the people from Sacred Blood Island on this island have been evacuated."
"Those left there now are probably stray dogs that came from somewhere to steal food," Kishida Shotaro said with a contemptuous tone.
"Besides, didn't you come here to find out the whereabouts of your father and your adopted brother? Why did you chicken out so quickly?"
Koinu Kōtarō glanced at Kishida Shotaro, who was drinking with his head down, with a gloomy look in his eyes, but said nothing more.
His father, Koinu Jun'ichirō, is currently missing, putting him in a very awkward position in the country.
Normally, he can only rely on the whims of the current national advisor, Kishida Kixiong, to get by.
What angered him was that Kishida Kixiong was becoming increasingly outrageous.
A while ago, he actually summoned his mother and aunt into his mansion, and they haven't come out since.
Just then, Kishida Shotaro, the son of Kishida Kixiong Kiyo, decided to go out and commit abduction.
That's why he encouraged Kishida Shotaro to come to Daqian.
First, they wanted to find out where his father was, and second, they wanted to take some valuables and people with them back with them.
After all, they had long heard of the wealth and large population of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Kishida Shotaro heard Koinu Jun'ichiro's suggestion, he naturally agreed.
Because he had long been fed up with the inferior people on the island of Japan.
Moreover, even if there were beautiful women, they had already been taken by his father.
Even if he can occasionally try something new, it's still not as enjoyable as being out.
Therefore, the two hit it off immediately, gathered a group of people, and embarked on a journey to plunder the Great Qian Dynasty.
