Two months passed uneventfully.
The Light Feather Clan and the Fox Clan were both powerful clans with tens of thousands of years of history, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to fork out high-grade resources that were worth tens of billions of Origin Crystals.
They had even agreed to it themselves, which meant that there was a little heartache equivalent to the distance between their forefingers and thumbs.
He didn't have any objections.
However, in his heart, he had raised his evaluation of the Immortal Sect by a few notches.
Not only did they have top-notch experts, but their foundations were also not bad. The Immortal Sect was not just a new force!
Just the hundreds of Divine Weapons sold in the past month were enough to show how extraordinary they were.
He must have taken out all his stock from all these years!
The central block of White City and the damaged areas outside were repaired in a few days, but the shops were replaced.
The business in White Town was a little sluggish after the disaster.
The Heavenly Weapons were sold in one go, without any after-sales maintenance. The Heavenly Weapons had the ability to repair themselves. Most of the people in White Town who could afford to buy Heavenly Weapons had already done so. As a result, the daily income of the Jubao Pavilion had dropped a lot.
But it was still a cash cow.
While the Light Wing Clan was marveling at the high production of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, little did they know that Tang Yu had built the Treasure Gathering Pavilions in two other neutral cities.
Two years ago.
In fact, there were quite a few cities that he had high hopes for. For example, the Cliff Heart City of the Cliff Heart Empire, and the Crystal City of the Crystal City State. Both of them were enormous cities in the Mountain and Sea Realm, where commerce and trade were flourishing.
However, the Cliff Heart Empire had been besieged, and the Cliff Heart City had entered a state of wartime alert. The checks for entering and exiting the city were very strict. It was hard to do business.
'Crystal City' was the same. In order to avoid being affected by the war, many Void Treading and Unity realm cultivators had already left the region where Crystal City was located.
Although the Void Step that left only took up a very small portion, it was precisely this portion that was the target customers of Jubao Pavilion.
If all the rich people ran away, how could they still do business?
Several other neutral cities were experiencing similar situations. Some of them had collapsed Half City, and some of them had a murderous atmosphere.
Helpless, Big Boss Tang could only build two "Jubao Pavilion" chain stores.
But he was also empty …
Who knew if a war would suddenly break out between the top powers of the two neutral cities?
With the Mental Demon Race stirring up trouble in the dark, it seemed like there was no peace anywhere.
Unless he built his own city.
However, he was faced with many problems.
Building a city, even if it's a giant city, is very easy for the Tree Shade today. The difficult part is that there are no customers.
A neutral city like White Town had been famous for tens of thousands of years, and countless Void-treading and Oneness of Oneness had come and gone.
If he built a city, how many Void Treading cultivators could pass by in a short period of time?
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'll sell it for as long as I can."
"Jubao Pavilion" had the most business during the first few days of business. Even if they couldn't do business because of the war, it seemed like … it wasn't a big loss?
Thinking about it this way, even in a city that was not as prosperous as White City, a smaller "Jubao Pavilion" could also be opened.
It felt feasible.
"Nancy, give my first draft to the business department and let them find a suitable city and formulate a corresponding plan."
"Oh … Oh!"
…
Bluewater Dukedom.
The Grand Duke had been very troubled lately.
First, it was the conflict with the Furious Azure Principality. Unknowingly, it escalated a few times and finally, a war broke out.
Bluewater and Azure Fury were roughly equal in power. At the end of the war, the two countries would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Duke Bluewater had been searching for a solution.
For example, hiring a top expert to assassinate the Furious Azure Grand Duke. But there were many pro-war factions in the Furious Azure Principality.
For example, hiring experts to assist in the war. He hired a few Unity realm experts, but they were like masters.
Another example …
Duke Bluewater happened to hear Count Violet saying that there were pirates selling high-end puppets in large quantities.
He was tempted.
Reality proved that his foresight was outstanding. In that battle, Bluewater had defeated Azure Fury by relying on the many fearless and ferocious puppets.
After that, Duke Bluewater bought a batch of more puppets from the Black Skeleton Pirates.
He was confident that with the puppet legion, he could take down the Furious Azure Principality in one fell swoop and attack the capital.
However …
“？？？”
When Duke Bluewater saw the dark puppet legion in the opposite camp, his whole person was stunned.
The opposite puppet legion was exactly the same model as his own!
What happened to credibility?
He was also stupid to believe in the pirates' credibility.
The puppet legions of the two principalities were mostly damaged in the war.
Perhaps it was because of heartache, the two countries entered a short period of peace.
However …
"What? Pirates again! Do those pirates even place our Bluewater Principality in their eyes? Where's the navy? Where's the 7th fleet? Where's General Griffin! "
Duke Bluewater roared, his saliva splashing on the person opposite him.
That person trembled with fear and opened his mouth. Finally, he said with a trembling voice, "The 7th fleet was completely annihilated. General Griffin was also … sacrificed."
Duke Bluewater was startled and his eyes widened in disbelief.
General Griffin was one of the top five experts in Bluewater Principality. The 7th fleet under him was invincible and had sunk countless pirates and warships of hostile nations.
In the 7th fleet, General Griffin's prestige was extremely high. Even Duke Bluewater was somewhat fearful of him.
"The 7th fleet was annihilated? Griffin was at the Unity realm, but he couldn't escape? "
Duke Bluewater realized the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, recently, there were many traces of pirates in the surrounding waters of Bluewater Principality.
There were even pirates with a bounty of millions openly appearing in Bluewater Principality's cities. The bounty hunters and righteous cultivators who treated them as mobile crystal tickets were all dead.
Bluewater Principality was currently at war with Furious Azure. Initially, the duke was unwilling to provoke these pirates.
However …
Merchant ships were plundered, pirates ransacked ports, and there were unbridled battles in the city, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
This made Duke Bluewater finally decide to send the 7th fleet to guard the waters where the pirates were most rampant.
However …
There was no news of victory, only death.
Those were not ordinary pirates. They were great pirates!
Furthermore …
Not just one!
Bluewater Principality entered a state of high combat readiness. As news came from all over, in less than two days, information on some famous pirates was presented to the duke's table.
There were five great pirates with a bounty of over ten million!
This was only because they did not conceal themselves and were exposed.
There was even 'Bone Blade' Avalle with a bounty of 36 million. He was the second-in-command of the Abyss Pirates and was a legendary pirate in the eyes of Duke Bluewater.
"The waters where the Abyss Pirates are active are at least a few kingdoms away from Bluewater Principality. Why would they suddenly appear here?!"
"What happened to the other great pirates?!"
Even Duke Bluewater did not know of Tranquil Ocean's rank, let alone the fact that Tranquil Ocean would appear in the nearby waters three months later.
In fact, Tranquil Ocean was very large, comparable to the Maelstrom Sea and much larger than Bluewater Principality and Azure Principality combined.
The coordinates given by the Three Emperors were the coordinates of a large area of the sea. Only a corner of it was adjacent to Bluewater Principality. Otherwise, there would be more pirate groups appearing near Bluewater Principality.
Not all great pirates were vicious and evil people.
Some only docked to resupply, while the more 'professional' ones plundered merchant ships. However, there were also some pirate groups that caused disasters in Bluewater Principality.
The neighboring Azure Principality was similar, just slightly better.
There were only three or four Unity realm experts directly under Duke Bluewater. There were also a few great aristocratic families with deep foundations in the principality that had hidden Unity realm experts.
However, this was not enough.
A tyrannical pirate like 'Bone Blade' could be dealt with by one person.
"We can only seek help from the suzerain?"
The duke frowned.
Empires, kingdoms, and principalities were clearly differentiated.
Almost all kingdoms and principalities had their own suzerain.
Every year, they had to pay tribute to the suzerain in exchange for protection.
However, it was actually useless.
The duke knew very well.
The suzerain of Bluewater and Azure Principality was the 'Dark Moon' Kingdom. However, after fighting for so long, the 'Dark Moon' did not have any reaction. It was fine as long as they paid tribute every year.
"Forget it, let's contact the Dark Moon Kingdom first."
Duke Bluewater instructed his confidant.
Three days later.
Through a special rune formation, he contacted the Dark Moon confidant and finally brought back some news.
He lowered his head and said in a dejected tone, "The Dark Moon Kingdom accepted our gifts, but they only told us to activate the formation to defend the capital. After a while, those pirates will leave."
Duke Bluewater clenched his fist tightly and loosened it powerlessly.
"#% ¥&!!"
He slumped on the chair.
Actually, the Dark Moon Kingdom was right. In another month, the Tranquil Ocean would open, and the great pirates would naturally leave.
Duke Bluewater naturally did not know.
In the past three days, many pirates had fought on the islands of Bluewater.
The fearless battle between Unity realm experts was enough to turn a large city into ruins in just a few minutes.
"Pirates! Damn pirates! Hmm …? "
Speaking of pirates.
Duke Bluewater thought of Lorraine and the others. He thought of the Black Skeleton Pirates that cheated them.
The Black Skeleton Pirates only wanted money, while other pirates wreaked havoc in the duchy.
With their peers as a foil, the Black Skeleton Pirates immediately became a powerful pirate group with organization, dreams, and ambition in the eyes of the Grand Duke.
For a moment, the bad feeling decreased a lot.
His Favorability rating was almost positive.
However, this could not solve the current problem.
Duke Bluewater racked his brains. Suddenly, his expression changed, "Since the Black Skeleton Pirates are trustworthy and only want money, can we let the Black Skeleton deal with those pirates?"
The Bluewater Duke didn't know what had happened at the pirate gathering.
However, the strength that Lorraine and the others displayed was almost not inferior to the great pirates in the Grand Duke's opinion.
"Perhaps, it really works. But how do I move the Black Skeleton? I'm afraid that just relying on spirit stones is not enough … "
The war had caused Bluewater Duchy to not have many spirit stones in its inventory. These 'ordinary property' could not make the Black Skeleton sell their lives.
Suddenly.
He remembered a treasure obtained by his ancestor.
An extremely precious treasure that the ancestor did not dare to reveal. Even in the family, he was the only one who knew about it!
"I don't have the ability to use that treasure, and I don't even dare to take it out. In that case, why not …"
