Sutara People Zhi Yin, who is wearing a turban, is the loyal servant of Nanu Hutu. He is wearing a foreign-style brocade robe, with circles of white cloth wrapped around his head, and the white cloth is also inlaid with jewelry.

This man has a high nose, deep-set eye sockets, blue eyes, and a handsome mustache.

Zhi Yin is a very smart man. He can speak fluent Great You Mandarin. Unlike some of his colleagues who can only listen but cannot speak, his identity is not that of a warrior in the clan, but that Nanu Hutu's subordinates also serve as strategists and think tanks.

In fact, even if He Ping said that he captured Nanu Hutu, Zhi Yin did not believe He Ping's words. However, he also knew that if he did not follow the snake and follow the stick, he had no choice but to agree first. His life and that of the samurai and sailors on this ship would definitely be in danger.

"It is natural for a servant to die in service to His Highness Nanu Hutu. However, the current situation is unclear, and the sacrifice of this ship's crew cannot be in vain..."

Unfortunately, after Zhi Yin had a conversation with He Ping and agreed to set sail for He Ping, many of the warriors on the ship looked at him angrily.

At least, in the eyes of these people, Zhi Yin was obviously afraid of this villain, and only agreed to him in order to beg for his life.

Zhi Yin was also aware of the eyes of everyone, and could only sigh in his heart, knowing that what he did might not be understood by his companions on the ship.

"This person named Zhi Yin is certainly a wise man, but unfortunately not many people on this ship can understand his intentions. Instead, they will kill him out of anger..."

He Ping was concerned about the current situation, but he was not interested in taking too much care. He waited for a while, and a strong wind blew from the east side of the island. There was black air floating in the air, and there were also sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling. Several skulls of the size of the test rotated in the air, and then slowly landed on the deck.

Wow!

Before the black air and skeletons landed on the deck, countless gold, silver, jewelry, agate, and jades fell down, some of which fell asleep directly.

Zhidu and the other warriors were startled. He heard a clanking sound and found several gold coins rolling down the deck. One of them rolled directly under his feet. This gold coin was obviously an exotic gold coin with a golden eagle spreading its wings engraved on it.

"Great Xiye Kingdom's gold coins and these treasures should all be collected by the Sun Family. Sun Family is indeed Zhang Jiubao's old team. I don't know how many people they killed and how many ships they robbed when they were pirates before they gathered so much wealth..."

Zhidu did not reach out to pick up the gold coin. He raised his eyes and saw that it was wrapped in seven or eight large iron boxes and fell from the air. The iron boxes were filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

"Hehehe, this Sun Family really hides a lot of good things!"

Chixinzi let out a strange laugh, very much like an old monster in the deep mountains and forests. He used "Empty-Travel Karma Great Freedom Mother God Bead" to collect a large amount of jewelry and threw several large iron boxes on the deck.

A few sounds of winter

The deck creaked under the force, and everyone felt the soles of their feet shake. Seeing these boxes filled with treasures, the charming gold, silver, pearls, and gems, their eyes also showed a hint of greed. They were startled by Chixinzi's sharp laughter that sounded like a night owl. All kinds of messy thoughts disappeared, and there was not even a trace of covetous thoughts in their hearts.

"Get ready to set sail!"

He Ping knows that Chixinzi has strangled all the practitioners of the Sun Clan. You must know that Sun Family has occupied this Flying Ray Island for so long and multiplied. Over the years, there has been a population of more than 2,000. Unfortunately, there are only a dozen monks in the clan. Among them, only Sun Yuangong, Sun Zhengong, and Sun Qigong are somewhat powerful, and the others are of low strength.

"From now on, Sun Family's vitality will inevitably be severely damaged. Without several of the strongest monks in the clan, even this Flying Ray Island foundation may not be able to be maintained."

He Ping is not optimistic about this type of Rogue Cultivator Aristocratic Clan, thinking that "its prosperity is rapid, and its demise is sudden...".

Rogue Cultivator Aristocratic Clan did not enter the Daoist dharma, but only practiced the Outer Dao method. This kind of inheritance is not stable. Maybe after a few generations, monks who can cultivate the soul will not be produced, and it will slowly decline. Moreover, the Outer Dao method is rather sinister, and some Rogue Cultivator Qi Deviation, went crazy, developed inexplicable deformities, and transformed into strange beasts.

There are many horrific stories circulating overseas, which are quite famous in the spiritual world. There are several versions of them, with similar content. They all say that a certain Rogue Cultivator Aristocratic Clan ancestor accidentally Qi Deviation turned into a monstrous beast in seclusion.

This ancestor became extremely bloodthirsty, and every day he tricked his clan members and disciples into entering cave abode, his retreat. As a result, within a few days, these people were all eaten up by the monstrous monster transformed by this ancestor, and even their bones and dregs were not found...

"Overseas is indeed a good place."

He Ping thought to himself, "This time with Sutara People, I must be extra careful. I can't stay on this boat anymore. Chixinzi will help me distract the pursuers, and I will also find another place to start practicing."

If he wanted to practice <Eight Lives Eight Deaths Demonic Secret Art>, he would naturally want to find an uninhabited island that was safe and undisturbed by outsiders.

Previously, Chixinzi found a large number of sea charts from the Sun Family's secret library. There were certainly suitable locations among them, but the sea was so vast that it was impossible for him to fly directly there.

"I used magic seeds to search the souls of the Sun Family, and got an important message from the souls of Sun Zhengong and Sun Qigong. Sun Family secretly maintains a group of pirates who specialize in doing some dirty work for the Sun Family. I'd better go find this group of pirates quickly, and then use these pirates to find a suitable island."

He Ping already had a decision in his heart, and he made an immediate decision. The bone armor on his body vibrated, and countless bone spurs whined and screamed, and flew out through the air. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a black dot and disappeared into the distance...

Less than three hours after He Ping and Chixinzi left, on the hilltop where they had just fought, they saw a gap suddenly opened in the clouds in the sky, and thousands of stars fell from it.

These light spots were like countless dust particles, glowing with pale white light, and quickly condensed into several figures.

It was like a beam of light falling on the top of a mountain, and four figures, three men and one woman, walked out of it. These people were all handsome, with white cloth circles wrapped around their heads. The men had brown eyes and a high nose. The only woman was wearing a gauze dress, with a pair of beautiful blue eyes and a veil on her face, making her look extremely mysterious.

These four people are all Daoist masters from the Sutuoluo Clan. Three men and one woman are all spiritual souls Great Cheng. They are extremely high-level monks. In terms of strength, they far exceed Sun Family, the master of the family, Sun Yuangong, at least at the level of Wugesa...

From this, we can also see the background of the Sutuoluo Clan. The entire Sun Family has a population of more than 2,000, and has trained more than twenty monks. Only one of the level of the Sun Family leader, and one of the level of the Sutuoluo Clan, seem to be able to be sent out at will.

"What the hell is going on?"

The leader of the four was a tall and stalwart man. He frowned and scanned the hilltop with a pair of brown eyes. He found that the place was in a mess. The ground was pitch black and there was no grass growing. The trees growing on the hilltop were also burnt to charcoal by flames and lightning. It was obvious that a war had occurred here.

"The life-flame lamps of the three masters He Moheng, Wugesa, Sotura and Badal of 'Wanglang' have all been extinguished. Master Nanu Zhenyu is still in retreat. When he heard the news, he was extremely angry and didn't know what happened on this island?"

"No matter what happened, Lord He Moheng, and the three masters are all dead," the veiled woman had a calm temperament, and she said calmly, "We, the Sutara family, cannot die in vain. Next, we will first investigate the situation on the island, and then ask the Sun Family people for questioning. Whoever dares to conceal information will die!"

"That's right."

Another tough man wrapped in white cloth sneered a few times.

"His Royal Highness Hutu said that the other party claimed to be 'Zhang Jiubao', and Sun Family seems to be an old member of this 'Zhang Jiubao'. I think we can start from here..."

"'Zhang Jiubao', I remember this person is a famous pirate, right? Does a mere pirate really dare to be our enemy Sutara People? Isn't there any mystery behind this matter?"

Another companion among the four raised doubts.

"Ignore these issues for now. We are only responsible for our mission. We will separately investigate the situation and look for clues left by the murderer. If there are no clues, we will set up an altar and use the soul-summoning technique to collect the remaining souls of our people here. We will use their grievances during their lives to arrange Ten-Thousand-Mile Soul-Locking Art to track the whereabouts of the murderer."

The tall man at the head spoke calmly.

"... Even if this person flees to the ends of the earth, he will not be able to escape our Sutuoluo Clan's revenge!"

After He Ping and Chixinzi separated, they flew for two full days and spent a lot of soul power to find the group of pirates who did Sun Family's dirty work.

His soul power is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, and he can maintain flying for a long time, but flying without sleep for two days and two nights is also extremely energy-consuming.

"The sea is really too vast. Only by cultivating to the realm of Daoism can one be able to fly for a long time without breathing. If I wasn't pursuing speed, I would never fly such a long distance. It's too strenuous and too tiring."

He was currently sitting on the bow of a pirate ship, looking at the sea in the distance while recovering his cultivation.

The group of pirates that Sun Family conquered was not large in number and only had one ship. Most of the pirates in this group were strong and silent natives. There was only one pirate leader and a few confidants who were the pirates born in Great You.

This person's surname is also Sun. He should be a member of the Sun Family. He was arranged by Sun Yuangong to lead this group of pirates. As for his name, He Ping doesn't bother to ask...

As soon as he landed on the island, he found the pirate leader surnamed Sun. The power of his soul turned into a dark wind and he grabbed this man from among the pirates who were holding swords and planning to attack him.

Then, he stepped on the man's head and said lazily, "For the sake of your life, you'd better obey my orders from today on!"

The pirate leader surnamed Sun also knew that this man was a powerful monk. He dared not resist, so he could only do things for him obediently.

Under the command of He Ping, the pirate ship prepared water and food and went out to sea. After sailing at sea for several days, it came to a hidden sea area marked on the chart of the Sun Family. This sea area was undeveloped and still in its original style.

He Ping then carefully browsed the souls of several monks from the Sun Family, knowing that this sea area was discovered by the Sun Family people accidentally, and outsiders knew almost nothing about this place. That's why he chose this location.

"Finally here!"

He stood up slowly and looked towards the sea ahead. In front of him was no longer the monotonous and dull blue sea and blue sky, but instead islands of various sizes, with intertwined reefs and lush green tropical jungles.

This is a sea area composed of an archipelago. Hundreds of islands of various sizes are dotted here and there, occupying a vast sea area. Even if you take a boat to circle around it for a whole day, you may not be able to browse it.

"This is really a good place. If someone occupies this sea area, they can build a small country, find some people to live there, cultivate crops, and raise some livestock, and they can reproduce for dozens of generations..."

The islands in the sea in front of him are widely distributed. He Ping ordered the ship to wander in this sea for most of the day. He selected one of the huge islands and decided to use it as a place for him to build an altar and practice his magic.

He stood on the deck, looked around, and saw a plume of white smoke rising from the largest island. The place where the white smoke rose was a volcanic crater on the island.

"This is the best place for me to practice!"

He Ping had a smile on his face. As soon as he saw the white smoke rising from the island, he knew that this was the best place for him to practice.
