The other party was very strong?
These words coming out of the Iron Hand Yama's mouth were somewhat unusual. After all, he had once been a member of the Savage Blood Pirate Group.
"What pirate crew? Could it be stronger than the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group? "Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
Fei`er, Luo Nan, and the others nodded slightly, indicating that it was indeed true.
The Iron Hand Yama said, "It's the Iron Horn Pirate Group. In the past, there were three pirate groups in the Grave Sea that obtained the Iron Blood Token. One was the Savage Blood Pirate Group, which is now the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group. The last one is the Iron Horn Pirate Group.
Iron Horn Pirate Group?
When Xiao Chen heard that, he felt slightly startled. He seemed to have heard Ding Yuan say that the Grave Sea Pirate Alliance had indeed sent out three Iron Blood Tokens.
At that time, he only knew that Savage Blood and Wolf Smoke had obtained them, but he did not ask who had obtained the remaining Iron Blood Token.
"However, this Iron Horn Pirate Group went to the forbidden sea long ago and has not returned to the Grave Sea for more than twenty years already. I've never seen the Iron Horn Pirate Group before. I've only heard about some of their deeds. "
"They were the overlords of the Grave Sea many years ago. Then, they went to the forbidden sea. This time, they are already a 6-Star pirate group."
A 6-Star pirate group would have almost no hope of snatching back the Scarlet Blood Banner.
Somewhat ashamed, Xiao Suo said, "Leader, I'm sorry. If only I had not used the Scarlet Blood War Banner back then. Otherwise, he would not have borrowed it. "
Xiao Chen comforted him, "Don't say that. It's enough that you're alive. If you did not use the Scarlet Blood War Banner, you would have been wiped out long ago. "
"We won't be able to last until the Iron Horn Pirate Group arrives."
Xiao Chen did not have much hatred for the Iron Horn Pirate Group. It was natural for pirates to rob others.
The other party was already very benevolent by not making things difficult for the Black Cutlass out of consideration for their old friendship. If Xiao Chen was ruthless and did not help, he would still be able to obtain the Scarlet Blood War Banner.
"Let's call it a day. How's the ship? "
Xiao Chen asked. He was more concerned about whether the Black Cutlass was damaged or not.
"The ship is fine. We just need to repair it a little. This time, we have gained something. He had found eight stalks of Ghost Cloud Grass and other natural treasures. It is enough to turn the Black Cutlass into a 5-Star pirate ship. "
Xiao Suo said excitedly as he perked up a little when he mentioned the pirate ship.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
It was the waiter who had come to look for Xiao Chen. "Young Master, someone just delivered a storage ring and mentioned that it was for you. He even said something about congratulating the people of the Black Cutlass for returning safely."
While the others were at a loss, Xiao Chen guessed. "It is a gift sent by Jiang Hengchuan as an apology. You may leave. Just say that I have accepted the gift."
Luo Nan and the others exchanged glances, finding this hard to imagine.
The Wolf King who had made things difficult for them three months ago was now apologizing to them.
The Iron Hand Yama carefully sized up Xiao Chen. Only then did he feel shocked to discover that Xiao Chen's aura was no longer the same as before.
Compared to two years ago, he was many times stronger.
It had reached a level that even Xiao Chen could not see through. After all, he had broken through the bottleneck of Star Venerate in the past two years.
"Captain, did you really defeat the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group by yourself?" Even now, Xiao Suo still did not believe it. This was simply too surreal.
Xiao Chen retorted casually, "Could it be fake?"
After saying that, Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into the storage ring. After a while, he withdrew his Spiritual Sense. Then, he revealed a smile and said, "This Wolf King is really generous. He probably sent half of the birthday gift back then."
Spending money to buy one's life was nothing more than this.
Xiao Chen handed the storage ring to Xiao Suo. Then, he said, "I'll leave this Spirit Jades and the birthday gift to you. Make the Black Cutlass a peak 5-Star pirate ship in the shortest time possible."
"Alright. Leave this matter to me."
The Iron Hand Yama said, "I have some connections with the Pirate Hall here. I can use them and be of some help."
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "In that case, I'll leave this matter to the two of you."
Elder Tang was stunned. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Young Master Xiao, you do not intend to give up on the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. "Why should I give up? We put in so much effort. We have to fight for it, right? Giving up like this is not my style. "
Elder Tang immediately said excitedly, "That's good. I thought that Young Master Xiao would directly give up."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Come, I'll go take a look first. Let's meet up on the Black Cutlass."
"Let's go!"
Everyone showed smiles on their faces as they left the inn and headed for the port.
Along the way, the group spoke about their experiences after they parted. Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
They still remembered the scene of their parting as if it was right before their eyes. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
During these two years, Xiao Chen had grown a lot. His strength was no longer the same as before.
However, the people of the Black Cutlass were no weaker, either.
The Iron Hand Yama successfully broke through to Star Venerate. Now, his cultivation was stable, and his strength steadily increased. When the Black Cutlass was a peak Major Primal Core cultivator, he was already known as unrivaled within the same cultivation realm. This breakthrough was even more incredible.
If not for the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group having eight Star Venerates and the Wolf King being a peak early-stage Star Venerate, the Iron Hand Yama would not care about them.
The Iron Hand Yama would not care about a regular 5-Star pirate captain at all.
The couple, Luo Nan and Fei`er, also had extraordinary fortuitous encounters. Under the cleansing of Xiao Chen's Life Juice Source, they had already advanced to Major Primal Core Venerates.
Although their improvement was nothing compared to that of the disciples of Rank 4 sects, it was still very rare.
With the two's talent, it was truly rare for them to make such improvements.
Elder Tang's cultivation did not improve much. However, his beast taming skills were even more exquisite and strong.
On the other hand, Xiao Suo's improvement was rather startling. The Life Juice Source seemed to have completely unleashed his potential.
Now, Xiao Suo had already reached peak Major Primal Core. In terms of cultivation, he was practically the same as Xiao Chen.
After about seven minutes, the group arrived at the Black Cutlass.
The appearance of the Black Cutlass had not changed much. When Xiao Chen saw it, he immediately felt a sense of familiarity.
After entering the lower level, the group arrived before the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation that he cared about the most.
At the core of the formation, the Yazi Beast carved on the formation plate already had three and a half stars lit up.
"This is the greatest trump card of our Black Cutlass. Once the Yazi Beast Demon Soul is released, it is an existence equal to a middle-stage Star Venerate. If not for the Yazi Beast Demon Soul, we would not dare to barge into the Grave Island Sea Region. "
Elder Tang sighed. Then, he continued, "Unfortunately, the trouble we ran into was too big."
"What trouble?"
"We ran into a flock of Underworld Ghost Birds. They were only middle-stage Star Venerates, but their abilities were too strange. They could make their bodies immaterial. The Yazi Beast Demon Soul was outnumbered and killed in the end. If not for the Iron Horn Pirate Group's captain making a move, it would have been destroyed on the spot. "
Xiao Chen exclaimed in shock, "Is that Iron Horn Pirate Group's captain really that strong?"
The Iron Hand Yama nodded and said, "He gave me the feeling that he should be a late-stage Star Venerate. Elder Tang and the others could not make out the captain's strength at all."
Late-stage Star Venerate?
That was already an extremely horrifying cultivation realm. Right now, Xiao Chen could barely protect himself against a middle-stage Star Venerate.
If he clashed head-on, he would lose in less than a hundred moves.
After advancing to Star Venerate, with every increase in cultivation realm, one's strength would undergo a tremendous change.
This would result in a qualitative leap. The difference between early-stage and middle-stage was like heaven and earth.
Without using his trump cards, Xiao Chen's current strength should be on par with that peak early-stage Star Venerate Wolf King.
He would not be able to truly contend with a middle-stage Star Venerate, much less a late-stage Star Venerate.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. It looks like I need to break through to Star Venerate before going to the forbidden sea.
Right now, he was only a step away from the Cloud Sea Realm and could advance at any time.
Xiao Chen already condensed the will of soul. He did not face any bottlenecks when advancing to the Cloud Sea Realm.
It was just a matter of time.
After advancing to Star Venerate, Xiao Chen could formally cultivate Soul Energy. He could also cultivate the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique's third move, Entering Hell.
He could use this opportunity to break through to the eleventh layer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation and start cultivating the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art's fourth layer.
Xiao Chen urgently needed to raise his many Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques to Star Venerate before they could improve.
Just at this moment, someone suddenly rushed in at the entrance to the next floor in a fluster.
"Captain, it's bad. The Iron Horn Pirate Group is here again."
