As Xiao Chen toyed with the Iron Blood Token in his hand, he gave the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan a deep look. "Good luck."
"Many thanks," the Wolf King said reluctantly as he performed a cupped-fist salute.
"Whoosh!"
Right after speaking, Xiao Chen left the courtyard with a few flashes, heading back to his inn.
Dressed in white, Xiao Chen stood out on the street. However, he appeared calm and unruffled, showing a calm expression without any fluctuations.
He did not look like the tyrannical White Robed Bladesman who caused a huge commotion at the Wolf King's birthday banquet earlier.
When Xiao Chen blended into the crowd, aside from his conspicuous white robes, he did not look much different.
When Xiao Chen returned to the inn, he was surprised to discover that his tea was still there.
The flame on the tea set left behind by the waiter had not gone out, and the temperature had not decreased.
However, the waiter had already gone to entertain other guests.
Xiao Chen sat down and looked at the teacup. The White Time Glory Tea Leaves at the bottom of the teacup had already spread out.
However, much time had already passed, and the tea was already cold, no longer steaming.
One had to drink tea while it was hot. It could not be warm or cold.
Only when the tea was boiling could one taste the best flavor.
However, Xiao Chen did not mind. He drank the already cold tea and drank it in one gulp.
It was slightly bitter, no longer having the original taste of the White Time Glory Tea Leaves. However, it had a different charm to it, giving Xiao Chen a deeper understanding of it after returning from a huge battle.
"Young Master, you are back?"
The waiter's eyes were sharp. When he discovered Xiao Chen, he immediately rushed over. "I heard that someone challenged the Wolf King at the Wolf King's birthday banquet and is still fighting intensely. Is that true?"
"The experts of the inn have all rushed over. Unfortunately, I cannot go over. I really want to see who is so bold as to even dare to mock the Wolf King. "
Xiao Chen put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Far at the horizon, close at hand."
"Ah!"
The waiter quivered, nearly dropping the teapot in his hand.
By the time the waiter recovered his wits, he discovered that Xiao Chen had already left.
Inside the room, Xiao Chen took out the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's statue. If the Wolf King didn't admit defeat, the statue wouldn't last long.
Even if the statue could hold on, Xiao Chen did not dare to let it continue fighting.
Not only did the carving of the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's statue exhaust his mind and essence blood, but it also drained his mind and essence blood.
While controlling it, his Mental Energy was like a flowing river, surging and leaking out continuously.
Others only saw the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor killing everywhere. However, they did not see Xiao Chen's Mental Energy drain.
He unsheathed his sword and challenged the Wolf King.
They seemed crazy, but they wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. They were prepared to die.
The person who dared to pull the emperor down from his horse, even if he was willing to be cut into pieces, was exactly what Xiao Chen had just done.
However, this Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan was indeed smart. He admitted defeat in the face of battle. He had managed to protect most of the Wolf Smoke Pirate Crew.
According to Xiao Chen's original plan, he would not leave until he slaughtered the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group and killed the Wolf King.
There was no doubt that as long as he was willing to pay the price, nothing would be a problem.
After putting down the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's statue, Xiao Chen took out the Iron Blood Token. Then, his gaze turned grave.
He only hoped that the brothers of the Black Cutlass were safe.
If something happened, killing all the people of the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group would not help.
Damn it! The Wolf King is right.
What a bunch of fools. Why are we going to the Grave Island Sea Region?
We have to return alive. I have to give you all a good scolding before I can vent my anger!
Xiao Chen's right hand trembled as he tightly grasped the Iron Blood Token. Even when facing the Wolf King, his eyelids did not twitch.
However, at this moment, his hand trembled, feeling extremely powerless.
The melancholy of that cup of bitter tea lingered in his mouth, not fading away even now.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. There was still no news of the Black Cutlass.
Xiao Chen could not wait any longer. He prepared to find a ship and make a trip there. Grave Island Sea Region:
Not to mention going to the Grave Island Sea Region alone without a pirate ship, even going to the periphery was akin to sending oneself to death.
However, given the circumstances, Xiao Chen felt that he had to go.
However, just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, he happened to see Luo Nan, Fei`er, and the others outside the inn.
"Captain!"
"Big Brother Xiao!"
When Xiao Suo, Fei`er, and the others saw Xiao Chen at the door, they rushed over without caring about their image.
They could not believe their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating.
The Iron Hand Yama laughed loudly and gave Xiao Chen a bear hug. Only then did Xiao Chen believe that they really returned.
"You …" Xiao Chen counted. Luo Nan, Fei`er, Elder Tang, Xiao Suo, the Iron Hand Yama, and all the old members of the Black Cutlass were present.
Fei`er's eyes turned somewhat moist. "Big Brother Xiao, I thought that I would never see you again."
Xiao Chen originally wanted to scold this group of people. However, his heart instantly softened and he could not bring himself to do so.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Little Fei`er, don't cry. Let's go to my room."
After entering Xiao Chen's room, Xiao Suo organized his thoughts and said, "After we came out, we heard that Captain defeated the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group. At that time, it was really delightful.
"To think that you were still worried about us and were definitely waiting for us. We rushed over day and night, practically not resting at all."
The Iron Hand Yama sighed and said, "This time, it was really a narrow escape. We nearly could not return. That old bastard nearly caused us to die. Xiao Chen, you helped us vent our frustrations. Back then, when that old bastard saw me, he ridiculed all of us for a while. "
Xiao Chen immediately asked the questions that he had buried in his heart when he saw everyone.
The group immediately turned silent. After a long time, Elder Tang said, "I am to blame for this. I already know where the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure is. However, we need the Iron Blood Token before we can go to the forbidden sea. So … "
Fei`er interrupted, "You cannot blame Elder Tang. At that time, we were thinking that we could wait for Big Brother Xiao Chen to go to the forbidden sea with him after obtaining the Iron Blood Token. However, we could not rely on Big Brother Xiao Chen for everything. We felt that we could give it a try. "
Xiao Chen thought to himself, So, that is the case. It is similar to what I thought.
Indeed, the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure is in a forbidden sea. One can go to the forbidden sea only with the Iron Blood Token.
Fei`er and the others wanted to give me a surprise.
At the same time, they did not want Xiao Chen to follow me to the Grave Island Sea. They did not want Xiao Chen to share the risk.
Xiao Chen wanted to blame Xiao Chen, but he did not know where to start.
However, just at this moment, Xiao Suo's expression suddenly turned somewhat grave. He said, "Young Master Xiao, I have something to tell you."
When Xiao Chen saw that the others' expressions were not quite right, his heart sank as he had a bad feeling.
"What is it? Speak."
"We lost the Scarlet Blood War Banner."
"Lost it?"
Xiao Chen's expression did not change. However, he felt shocked in his heart. The Scarlet Blood War Banner was a crucial tool for finding the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure.
If the war banner was lost, it meant that the treasure would be gone as well.
However, Xiao Chen was very carefree. After his emotions fluctuated for a while, he quickly adjusted himself.
If the war banner was lost, then he could only head for the Central Great Realm in advance.
Should he go directly to the Dragon Race's territory, or should he go to the Yanwu Dynasty or the Tianwu Dynasty first and understand the situation in the Central Great Realm before going to the Dragon Race?
However, he had to make a decision.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen, are you not angry?" Fei`er looked at Xiao Chen somewhat nervously.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Suo. "Don't be dispirited. In the end, Xiao Suo was the one who bought the war banner. It is not mine. There is really no need to blame yourself.
"You being able to return alive is better than anything else. There are many fortuitous encounters in the world, but we only have one life. I will say this very seriously: don't take such risks in the future. "
Xiao Chen's words came from the bottom of his heart. His sincerity warmed Fei`er and the others.
After hesitating for a while, the Iron Hand Yama said, "Actually, we might not have lost it. Given my understanding of that person, I feel that he will return the Iron-Blood War Banner in the end and not snatch our things. "
When Xiao Chen heard that, he felt slightly stunned. There is more to this than meets the eye?
"What exactly is going on?"
After some thought, the Iron Hand Yama said, "Didn't I say earlier that we nearly could not return? Someone saved us in the Grave Island Sea Region. At that time, Xiao Suo was using the Iron-Blood War Banner to fight.
"That is where the problem lies. After we were rescued, that person suddenly said that he wanted to borrow the Iron-Blood War Banner to take a look and that he would return it to us the next time we meet.
"The other party is very strong, and his pirate group is even stronger. Although he said he wanted to borrow it, there was no way to refuse.
