Chapter 720 - The Man Who Will Become the Pirate King (1/2)

…

Bang!

Bang, Bang, Bang!

The sound of explosions began to spread rapidly, and all the pirates exploded into clouds of blood mist.

Seeing that scene, everyone could not help but be shocked. No one had expected such a thing to happen.

The blood mist that exploded in the sky was like fireworks, dazzling everyone’s eyes. The bright red color dyed the entire sky red, making it look bewitching and strange.

The hearts of the people began to race.

“What… What’s going on? How could this be?”

“Oh my God, which powerhouse cultivator is making a move?”

“Although we don’t know who the other party is, for him to have such powerful strength, he must be at least at the second-level Imperial Immortal realm!”

“That’s not right. If he was only in the second-level Imperial Immortal realm, he wouldn’t have been able to take down those three pirates so easily. The three of them were all in the first-level Imperial Immortal realm, and one of them even had a cultivation base at the peak of the first-level Imperial Immortal realm. He was just a step away from advancing to the second-level Imperial Immortal realm.

“However, did you guys notice that the instant those people exploded into a bloody mist, they were also shocked? In fact, just a second ago, they were still fighting with all their might, as though they did not notice anything.

“Not only did he insta-kill them, he even made it so that they didn’t notice anything. From this, one could very well imagine how strong this fellow’s cultivation base must be. I think he must be at least at the third-level Imperial Immortal realm, or even at the peak of the third-level Imperial Immortal realm.”

Hiss!

After hearing those words, everyone present could not help but feel their hair stand on end. A chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

It was too terrifying!

To them, being able to meet an Imperial Immortal was already an extremely amazing thing. More so to be able to meet a peak third-level Imperial Immortal, that was most likely the pinnacle of their lives.

“This… Was this really a peak third-level Imperial Immortal?”

“It must be. Other than peak third-level Imperial Immortals, no one else can reach such a level.

“What an extraordinary person! Almost every single one of those existences was famous in the immortal world. Who would have thought that they would actually appear here?

“It’s just a pity that we weren’t able to see him with our own eyes.”

“Oh right, I wonder if this old senior is still around.”

Among the three of them, one of the Imperial Immortals immediately cupped his hands and called out to the sky,

“Rising Dragon immortal sect’s Grand Elder Li Yuqiang pays his respects to senior. May I know which senior cultivator it is? Can this junior see his honor? This junior would like to personally thank senior.”

However, it was a pity that no one replied to him.

Not only that, even the divine sense he sent out did not detect the aura of any peak third-level Imperial Immortal.

In reality, Ye Xiao did not want to meet them. He might leave at any time. There was no need to befriend those ordinary people.

Sometimes, high-level cultivators… Were destined to be lonely.

Li Yuqiang and the others called out several times but did not see anyone come out. In the end, they gave up.

He shook his head and returned to the deck. He spoke somewhat helplessly,

“Forget it. I reckon that this senior cultivator doesn’t want to meet us. Perhaps, he’s just passing by. In fact, he might have already left.”

“That can’t be helped. Who asked us to be too weak?

“Alright, now that the pirates have been eliminated, let’s not waste any more time here. Let’s hurry on our way.”

“Alright.”

The huge ship started moving again, slowly sailing towards the deep sea.

As for Ye Xiao’s side, he had captured all the primordial souls of the three great pirate Imperial Immortals.

He was also very curious as to why those pirates would go against common sense and appear there.

There was also another point that Ye Xiao really wanted to learn some secrets about the deep sea from them.

Pirates roamed the depths of the Undesirable Sea all year round. The information they knew was definitely more than the others.

The three pirate Imperial Immortals were all dumbfounded. They were completely lost concerning what had just happened.

That was because they still did not dare to believe that they had been killed.

Ye Xiao’s actions were so fast that they did not even have the chance to react.

Looking at Ye Xiao in front of them, the three of them suddenly shivered.

“Who exactly are you?”

Ye Xiao said indifferently,

“You don’t need to know my identity. Answer my question and you can live.

“If not, you know the consequences yourself.”

The three of them looked at each other and nodded.

As cultivators among the pirates, they naturally had their own pride.

However, to be able to stand out among so many pirates was enough to prove that they were not stupid.

The Ye Xiao in front of them was clearly an existence that was not on the same dimension as theirs.

Ye Xiao not only had the power to control their lives and deaths. He also had the ability to choose their fates.

Instead of suffering from torture, it would be better to tell the truth in advance. Who knows, he might even be able to let them live.

Moreover, even if there was no way to let them live, at the very least, there was hope for them to be satisfied and not be tortured too miserably.

After taking a deep breath, an Imperial Immortal among the three pirate Imperial Immortals was the first to speak.

“We didn’t come to the shallow waters on our own accord. We were forced out by others because we had no other choice.”

Ye Xiao slightly raised his brows.

He had been reading up on the information regarding the Undesirable Sea for the past few days. He knew that although there were many powerful factions in the Undesirable Sea, the pirate factions were not weak either.

The Poisonous Dragon pirate gang, for example, already had three Imperial Immortals. Even so, the Poisonous Dragon pirate gang could only be ranked within the top 20 among all the pirates. One could very well imagine how many more powerful factions were there above them.

Among those powers, there might even be third-level Imperial Immortals or even peak third-level Imperial Immortals.

In addition, other than the pirates, there were also many other powers in the Undesirable Sea that were trying to balance each other out.

It was simply impossible for so many powers to focus on dealing with the pirates. Could it be that there was internal strife among the pirates? Hence, they were forced out because they had no other choice?

“Speak more clearly.”

The three of them exchanged glances and opened their mouths.

“This is because an extremely extraordinary character appeared among us pirates. His cultivation base was merely at the peak of the second-level Imperial Immortal realm but he was strong enough to contend against a peak third-level Imperial Immortal.

“The moment he appeared, he instantly shocked all the pirates of the Undesirable Sea.

“After that, when he advanced to the third-level Imperial Immortal realm, he became even more arrogant. Even peak third-level Imperial Immortals weren’t his match.

“In the end, he established an extremely powerful force. With an unrivaled suppression, he wildly devoured all of our pirate forces, wanting to gather all of us together and listen to his orders and submit to his feet.

“He would kill those who did not submit to him.

“Therefore, we had no choice but to leave the Undesirable Sea and come to this shallow sea area.
