Chapter 641: Sea Beasts Tide 9
Looking inside the space ring, Ying Er saw hundreds of bronze coins.
At a glance, the coins were similar to what he and other members of the Zhenyue family refined before the start of the sea beasts’ tide.
However, when he took a closer look, he saw a difference.
The coins they refined had a number on one side and nothing on the flip side.
On the contrary, the current coin had a number on one side and a ’P’ on the other.
’I know the number represents an outpost island, but what about the ’P’? Does the ’P’ mean prisoner?’ Ying Er wondered but didn’t dwell on it.
Instead, he turned to the hundreds of origin tempering realm and core formation realm cultivations.
"Everyone has heard my two young masters’ decision. Does anyone have an objection?" He asked.
However, most of the captives didn’t dare to object.
After all, they were ordinary cultivators.
Although they sometimes robbed and killed for treasure, they had never thought of getting involved in something like provoking a sea beasts’ tide.
Now that they were involved, they felt lucky that they still had a chance to live.
Unfortunately, not everyone was so level-headed.
As Ying Er looked around, a female cultivator stepped forward.
"Little brother, I am not at fault. My master tricked me into coming here." She said.
Hearing this, several others gained courage.
"I also didn’t know that city lord Duan started the sea beasts’ tide."
"My bother and I are innocent. We just followed our mother to this place."
"I was told a secret realm was about to open in the Fog Sea..."
Ying Er sneered when he heard the excuses.
He believed most of the origin tempering realm and core formation realm cultivators didn’t know Duan Quan provoked the sea beasts’ tide. Otherwise, his two young masters would not have spared their lives.
However, he didn’t believe their flimsy excuses about having no ill intent towards the Zhenyue family.
At the back of their minds, they all knew they were going to rob and kill.
Thinking of this, Ying Er narrowed his eyes.
"Are you going to resist?" He asked, his lips curled in a teasing smile.
Seeing the smile, several people trembled, and no one dared to say anything.
After that, Ying Er distributed the bronze coins.
"You can refine or choose not to refine the bronze coin." He said and quickly continued.
"However, only those who have refined the bronze coin can enter the outpost island’s protective formation."
"Does the bronze coin have another function?" Someone asked, and Ying Er chuckled before he explained.
"You can think of the bronze coin as a shackle. As long as you refine it, you can’t slack on your work or leave the island. If you dare..." Ying Er didn’t finish his words, but he didn’t have to because everyone understood.
"That said, refining or not refining only makes a difference to you. Even if you don’t refine, no one can slack or leave the outpost islands unless my two young masters allow it."
When they heard this, several people sighed and directly refined the bronze coins.
’You have to bow when under someone else’s roof.’ They thought.
After everyone refined the bronze coins, Ying Er nodded and quickly continued.
"My Zhenyue family will not reward you or provide any resources. However, you can use sea beast corpses to exchange for pills, weapons, and other resources. Does anyone have a question?"
"Can we exchange for puppets?" Someone asked, and several people looked interested.
After all, the puppets refined by the Zhenyue family were very special.
Thinking about getting a puppet, several people felt a few years of captivity weren’t so bad.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue were not so generous.
Although they were willing to sell some resources to the captives, puppets were out of the question.
"Impossible." Ying Er said with a smile.
After that, Ying Er separated the captives into ten equal groups.
When that was done, he instructed Gu Dong, Lin Feng, Su Meihui, Xue Hua and several puppets to escort nine groups to the other outpost islands.
Similarly, he planned to take his group to his number two outpost island.
However, before he left, Ying Er turned to the front and realised Xiaolan had already left.
At first, Ying Er thought Xiaolan would kill the traitors to humanity and feed their corpses to the sea beasts.
Unexpectedly, Xiaolan didn’t do so but instead let them go.
At this time, Ying Er saw the nascent soul realm and other sinner cultivators hurriedly flying towards the mainland.
’What’s going on?’ He wondered but soon shook his head and let the matter go.
"Let’s go." He shouted to his group and immediately drove the flying ship towards the number two outpost island.
.....
In Tianqi City, Shang Yan, Xu Ling, Tang Shu, Wang Bin, Bai Feng, and other nascent soul realm cultivators were standing on the city wall when they saw a group of people flying towards them.
"Duan Quan..., how dare he come back here?" Shang Yan angrily roared.
At the same time, he removed his weapon, ready to kill the traitorous city lord.
"Did they fail? What happened to everyone else?" Wang Bin wondered.
"Something doesn’t feel right." Tang Shu couldn’t help but frown.
"What do they want to do? Are they planning to attack Tianqi city?"
"Elder Shang, what should we do?"
"Control them as soon as they step foot in Tianqi city." Shang Yan spoke through gritted teeth.
Although the sect reacted on time, the Cangxing territory still suffered heavy losses.
Most importantly, the sea beast tide was abnormally ferocious.
Based on the current momentum, Shang Yan suspected the tide wouldn’t end for at least two decades.
If that happened, millions of lives would be lost, and countless resources would be used.
When Shang Yan thought of that, he couldn’t wait to skin Duan Quan and the rest of the traitors.
However, he couldn’t be impulsive.
Before doing anything, he had to understand what was going on.
