Xiao Chen did not expect this to be the reason. He could not help feeling a little awkward.
Sun Guangquan laughed heartily and said, "I'm not talking about you. In fact, I don't like people who take advantage of their seniority. They don't dare to face the truth and still insist on putting up a strong front. They deserve to be slapped in the face and used as a stepping stone. When I was young, I did a lot of these things. "
"As for why he's called the Blood Bladesman …"
Just as Sun Guangquan was about to explain, the merchant ship suddenly came to a stop.
With their cultivation bases, they were naturally unaffected by this extreme change in speed. However, the ornaments in the room were not so lucky.
It fell to the ground, and some of the porcelain was smashed into pieces.
Bai Lixi said doubtfully, "Strange, why did it suddenly stop? Furthermore, it stopped in such a rush."
"Let's go out and take a look," Sun Guangquan suggested.
Dong dong dong!
Just as the three of them were about to take action, there was an urgent knock on the door. The door opened and an attendant said in a fluster, "The three of you must be cultivators. Please gather on the deck quickly."
Xiao Chen asked, "What happened? Did you run into a pirate ship?"
The attendant squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "It's even more troublesome than a pirate ship. It's a warship of the Black Dragon Society."
Black Dragon Society!
Bai Lixi and Sun Guangquan could not help but exchange strange glances. "Could it be that you want us to help you resist the Black Dragon Group? That would be difficult."
The attendant said, "No, it is the Black Dragon Group's request. All the cultivators who are preparing to participate in the third grade Battlefield must gather on the deck."
The Black Dragon Triad was the largest force in the Endless Sea. Its fleet cruised the seas in all directions.
Five thousand years ago, after a fierce battle with the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace, the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace occupied half of the islands in the Eastern Shallow Sea, making it the overlord of the Boundless Sea.
Back then, the Divine Dragon Palace was like the sun in the sky. It was the leader of all the factions in the four seas. The old Dragon King's prestige was extremely high. With a single order, countless sects in the four seas would listen to him.
But in that battle, the Divine Dragon Palace still lost. The old Dragon King died in battle, and the Four Shallow Seas no longer had an alliance leader.
After that battle, the Black Dragon Triad became a god. From a force in the outer seas, it became the overlord of the four seas, controlling all the trade routes in the sea.
On the way to the deck, Bai Lixi gave Xiao Chen a simple explanation of the Black Dragon Group, causing Xiao Chen to feel astonished.
Who would have thought that in the Boundless Sea, far away from the mainland, there would be such a colossus as the Black Dragon Triad. Before this, there had never been any news of it on the mainland.
Sun Guangquan said, "But now, the Divine Dragon Palace's strength has increased greatly. The Black Dragon Group's edge in the Eastern Shallow Sea is no longer as great as before."
"So don't think too much about it. Let's go to the deck and see what kind of tricks they're playing."
Hundreds of cultivators stood on the wide deck. Their cultivations were not low; they were at least Superior Grade Martial Kings.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he discovered two or three half-step Martial Monarchs.
Six huge black warships stood on the surface of the sea in front of the merchant ship. The Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons on the warships were open and flickered with a cold light.
The Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons were very mighty. When filled with Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, they could severely injure a Martial Saint in one shot. When filled with Medial Grade Spirit Stones, they could easily injure an Inferior Grade Martial King.
If filled with Superior Grade Spirit Stones, even a Martial Monarch would be on tenterhooks and would not dare to clash head-on.
With the deterrence of several dozen Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons, the many cultivators on the deck all showed cautious expressions. They did not dare to be too impudent.
"Dong! Dong!
Dong! "Just at this moment, footsteps came from the ship's hold. Another cultivator came out.
Xiao Chen turned his head and saw that this person had an exquisite figure and voluptuous curves. She wore black leather armor and carried two short swords on her back. She wore a half-mask that covered her face.
Her black eyes were very deep and mysterious. Unexpectedly, Shi Feng was on the ship as well.
Xiao Chen was very curious about this person. He had always wanted to know why she knew Qingyun Peak's nine secret techniques.
However, when Xiao Chen saw the unapproachable aura of Shi Feng, he gave up on the thought of greeting her.
"Xiu!"
After everyone arrived, five cultivators wearing black Battle Armor flew over from the warship. Their auras were incredibly dense. The person leading them was very strong, a half-step Martial Monarch.
That person had a straight face, short hair, and spirited eyes. He looked very capable. He smiled faintly at the crowd and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am an insignificant captain of the Black Dragon Group's Ninth Legion. My name is Jian Chenan."
One of the half-step Martial Monarchs said somewhat impatiently, "Just speak directly. Why are you stopping us? Cut the crap."
Even though Jian Chenan was interrupted in front of everyone, he did not get angry. He continued, "There is no rush. It is nothing major. Aren't you going to the third grade Battlefield for experiential training? You can participate through my Black Dragon Group as well. Furthermore, the reward is double that of the Divine Dragon Palace. "
The moment Jian Chenan said this, a commotion broke out. Double the reward, this temptation was not small.
However, some of the people who had been to the Deep Sea Battlefield smiled coldly to themselves. Their expressions did not change.
Bai Lixi said softly, "Don't listen to him. The Divine Dragon Palace controls the main junctions of the third grade Battlefield. The Black Dragon Group only controls a small corner. Furthermore, it is not the main area of activity for the Demons. No matter how high the reward is, it is useless."
Jian Chenan continued, "As long as you agree to come with us, we will give you ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones when you board the warship. When you return, we will give you another hundred thousand. If you kill more Demons, the reward will increase."
A commotion broke out in the crowd. Some of the cultivators who came to the Boundless Sea for the first time were tempted. Ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones was not a small sum.
After the mission ended, they would be able to obtain at least a hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. If they did not die, it would be a large sum.
"I am willing to go!"
Immediately, someone who came to the Boundless Sea for the first time thought about it. He felt that it was profitable and agreed to the other party's request.
Jian Chenan immediately tossed out a few boxes of Spirit Stones and handed them to that person. He smiled and said, "You made the right choice. Get on the warship."
That person gently counted the Spirit Stones and revealed a happy smile. Then, he leaped up and landed on the warship in front.
"I am willing as well!" "I am willing as well …"
Seeing that someone actually obtained the Spirit Stones, the number of people who agreed increased. Soon, most of the people on the warship left.
Only ten-odd people who knew the inside story did not waver. These people were all peak Martial Kings. A few were like Sun Guangquan; some were even half-step Martial Monarchs.
Ten thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones did not interest them. What they sought was a true experiential training, where they could disregard life and death.
However, in the face of the limits of their lives, they needed to continuously stimulate their potential and advance their cultivation. The Black Dragon Group would not be able to satisfy them.
After the group of people who came to the Boundless Sea boarded the Black Dragon Group's warship, Jian Chenan looked at the crowd and smiled, "Many thanks to everyone for not giving me any trouble. You are all true elites. You are all very clear on the situation of the Deep Sea Battlefield. Your treatment is even better than that group of people earlier. "
Bai Lixi mocked, "What do you mean? You make it sound like we agreed to go with you. I don't think we said we would go with you."
However, Sun Guangquan sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen, "Prepare to abandon the warship and head west. That is the area controlled by the Divine Dragon Palace. Do not sink to the bottom of the sea. The sea monsters there are very difficult to deal with."
Xiao Chen's heart sank. It looked like this experiential training involved the internal strife of two peak powers. It would not end peacefully.
The other half-step Martial Monarch said, "In this Boundless Sea, your Black Dragon Group is not the only one who can do whatever you want. Now that we are in the Divine Dragon Palace's territory, there is nothing you can do to us."
Jian Chenan's face sank. He smiled coldly and said, "Do you think you can get there? I will say this: whether you want to or not, you will still have to go! "
"Let's go!"
The remaining ten-odd people on the deck were all astute and decisive people. When they saw that the situation had reached a point of no return, they did not hesitate to abandon the warship and leave quickly.
Xiao Chen immediately jumped off the warship and headed west. His figure flickered, and in a few breaths, he had traveled a kilometer.
Jian Chenan's expression remained calm; he was not too surprised. When he returned to the warship, he waved his hand and said, "Blast them all. Leave no one alive."
"Boom!"
The Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons on the warship, which had already been filled with Spirit Stones, immediately lit up. Horrifying Spiritual Energy poured out and shot resplendent beams of light at the scattered cultivators.
Xiao Chen had his Spiritual Sense spread out. He instantly felt ten beams of light heading for him. If they all struck him, even if he did not die, he would be skinned alive.
A bolt of lightning flashed. Xiao Chen executed Lightning Evasion and instantly moved a hundred meters to dodge.
Miserable cries resounded. In an instant, four or five peak Superior Grade Martial Kings fell from the warship. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The six warships did not give the cultivators any time to hesitate. They soared into the air and fired their cannons again. The remaining people used cloning techniques to dodge the might of the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons.
Some directly attacked, weakening the might of the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons. Others used ingenious Movement Techniques to nimbly dodge.
However, the six warships were not in a hurry. They chased after the cultivators like venomous snakes, trying to kill them all.
As the cultivators dodged the attacks of the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons, they inevitably slowed down. The distance between the warships and the cultivators shrank.
Sun Guangquan said to Xiao Chen, "Split up. Old Bai and I have our own ways to protect ourselves. We will think of a way to regroup when the time comes."
Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. This was the only way for now. If they stayed together, they would be too big of a target. "Chi!
Chi! "
The six warships had a total of sixty Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons. The resplendent beams of light in the air did not stop for even a moment.
Xiao Chen pushed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art to its limits. He used it continuously in the air.
Be it the warships flying or firing the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons, they all exhausted a large number of Spirit Stones.
The cultivators would definitely not chase after them endlessly. As long as they persevered to the end, they would be able to shake off their pursuers.
However, this was easier said than done. Of the ten-odd cultivators, only seven or eight remained bitterly holding on.
At this moment, the gap between the cultivators and half-step Martial Monarchs became clear.
