After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiao nodded. "What Junior Brother said makes sense. Let's go to the Myriad Demon Islands first.
There are no unified major powers over there, so it'll be easier to get things done."
The flying vessel adjusted its course and headed southeast.
If they continued south, they would enter the Blood Shark Pirates' sphere of influence.
They had originally planned to stir up some trouble in Blood Shark Pirates territory, but now that they had decided to head straight for the Myriad Demon Islands, there was naturally no need to provoke them further.
Taking a detour southeast would indeed mean traveling some unnecessary distance, but it would save them quite a bit of trouble.
The journey from the Seven Stars Sea Domain to the Myriad Demon Islands was still extremely dangerous.
