Chapter 516: This might be a preparation for island massacre!
The South Island was exceptionally quiet that night.
The same is true for the other surrounding islands.
In the past two years, the Ghost Emperor of the Killing Hall would appear in the outer sea every August and September, and would stay for ten days to half a month before leaving.
During this period of time, any pirate group would choose to ignore and never approach the Chinese ships with their white sails hoisted and drifting on the sea with the wind.
In the first year, Lao Sang relied on his strength that ranked among the top five among many pirate groups to go and provoke people. Many people were watching the fun on the beach. Before they finished eating a fruit, only one of Lao Sang's group of more than 60 good men was left.
That one was put back specially by someone.
Since then, killing the palace has become a taboo for all pirate groups, big and small.
Unexpectedly, the tragedy happened again last night.
This time, the South Island group of 100 people was completely wiped out, and not a single one returned.
More than sixty people fed fish at sea, and about thirty people fed hornets in a small fishing village on the northwest island.
When the pirate group was still shocked that there was a ruthless guy hiding in the small fishing village, something even more terrifying happened.
The Ghost Emperor’s ship has docked at the beach outside the island!
This might be a preparation for island massacre!
The pirates were ready for battle as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The morning sun rises from the sea level, and the sunlight penetrates the mist and shines on the islands surrounded by the sea.
The fishermen in the small fishing village have recovered from the shock of last night and continue to work every day, either going out to sea to fish together, or cleaning, salting and drying fish.
The few people who stayed in the village to work were inevitably curious and would occasionally look towards the cabin.
"Those two people who came last night were from the Central Plains, right? They looked wealthy and noble, completely different from us. I didn't expect that Madam Lu knew such people."
"It's not Mammy who knows them, it's Tianbao and Du Lao who know them. Those two came back after them last night. No wonder Tianbao asked me about the Central Plains before. It turns out they came from the Central Plains. If they hadn't forgotten, they would have gone back long ago."
"Their friends are here, they should be leaving soon, alas."
"...Now that Mammy and Tianbao are gone, if the pirates come again, we'll just be bullied."
"We've come this far before. We can't expect others to stay here forever just to protect us, right?"
As the fishermen talked, their mood became depressed.
Isn't it? They've always come this way before.
There was a noise coming from the cabin, and the surrounding fishermen immediately looked up.
The people in the room came out.
Nanny, the poisonous old man, Tianbao, and the two noble men who suddenly appeared last night.
The handsome man in black was holding a gray cloth package that was totally inconsistent with his image and temperament.
Everyone immediately understood that Madam Lu and the others were really leaving.
"Everyone, thank you for your care in the fishing village over the past two years. I, Old Du, and Tianbao will always remember you. Now that we have reunited with our friends and family, it's time to return. All good things must come to an end. We'll meet again someday."
Madam Lu had spent the longest time with the fishermen and was closest to them. She looked around at the crowd that had gathered around her, sensing their reluctance and anxiety. She suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Don't be afraid. Before we leave, we will resolve the trouble we caused and will never let the pirates from South Island vent their anger on you. Please rest assured!"
"Madam Lu..." Led by the woman with a headscarf, a group of fisherwomen unconsciously had their eyes red and their hearts were filled with gratitude.
Bai Yu stood a little behind and tilted his head to call out, "Huiying."
A figure immediately appeared behind him, silently, like a separate shadow.
The fishermen stared with wide eyes. It was broad daylight and bright, but they had no idea when a new person appeared here.
"Let Phantom get rid of the remnants of South Island. Also, take the flag from the ship and plant it here." Bai Yu whispered.
Huiying suppressed her surprise, answered yes, and disappeared like a ghost.
Soon, a satin flag with a black background and red edges was erected above the fishing village, fluttering in the wind, and could be seen at a glance from dozens of miles around.
The fishermen were baffled and didn't understand why the noble young man wanted to plant a flag in their village. They didn't dare to ask more questions and just looked at each other in confusion.
"Everyone, as Madam Lu said, I, Bai Yu, am grateful for your care over the past two years." Bai Yu then took two steps forward, fixed his gaze on the fishermen, and made a promise. "Three days' sail northwest of this island is Fengyun City. If you wish to leave here and live a peaceful life, Fengyun City will welcome you. A boat will arrive in seven days. You have seven days to consider it. If you are interested, you can board the boat today."
The sun jumped out of the sea level and gradually rose higher.
The sea breeze made the bright flags above the fishing village flutter.
It was unknown when Aunt Lu, Tian Bao and the others had left.
In the open space in front of the cabin, the fishermen who were seeing them off were still in a daze of disbelief.
After coming to their senses, the fishermen looked at each other again and asked the person standing opposite them, "That Mr. Bai said, can you help us get out of here?"
"He said he would send a boat to pick us up in seven days..."
"Fengyun City, Fengyun City... I know this place! Pirates from the island once broke into that city and tried to plunder it, but were beaten back! They never dared to go there again!"
"I also know Fengyun City. I heard that the people there are more vicious than pirates!"
“…”
"Then what's the difference between going there and being here? Won't we be bullied the same way?"
"I say you've all lost your minds! Since Master Bai can be the master of Fengyun City, it means he has the final say in Fengyun City! Once we go there, we'll be under his protection. Who dares to bully us?"
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Do you want to go? Do you want to go?"
go!
Why not go!
They have lived here for generations and claim to be native aborigines, but in fact they are just poor creatures who have nowhere else to live except on Pirate Island and can only survive in the cracks here!
Who doesn’t want a safe and secure life? Who wants to live in constant fear of being robbed, beaten, or murdered?
They don’t leave because they are from the seaside and are not accepted anywhere, so they have nowhere to go!
Now that I have the opportunity to leave here, what are I waiting for?
Go! You must go!
To hell with this pirate island!
As the fishermen ran around to tell each other and cheered in ecstasy, the South Island was covered in blood.
The other islands outside the South Island are still as silent as death.
The black and red flags flying high in the sky in the distance were particularly dazzling in the sunlight, tugging at the pirates' tense nerves.
That is the flag of the Killing Palace!
The Killing Palace has included that place in its territory!
Anyone who dares to step into that place and cause trouble will suffer the same fate as the South Island pirates!
A pirate group:
"Boss, isn't the Shadian being a bit too arrogant? They actually ran into our territory to stake out territory!"
"There are dozens of poor people in that small fishing village, all of whom are so poor that their underwear is patched up. You won't die unless you eat their flesh! Is the neck under your head harder than the necks of the two emperors of Nansang?"
“…”
A certain pirate group:
"Boss—"
"Brothers, you follow me for the good life, not to get yourself killed! Don't go there anymore. There's no shame in shrinking back, but stepping out will cost you your life. If anyone doesn't believe me, I'll send you there to try."
“…”
XX Pirate Group:
"Boss, don't be impulsive! Don't be impulsive! That island is not our territory in the first place. We don't need to cross the border and go against the Killing Palace. Think about it, the two leaders of South Island are now in the hands of the enemy!"
“…”
Damn it, what did I say?
You guys are the first to get anxious!
