If others ran into wards or tactical formations, they would worry about how to

crack them.

Jiang Chen seldom had such worries. He would try to interpret the deployer’s

way of thinking and technique.

He saw what was odd about the stone gate. The ward had been deployed

only five years ago, but the deployer intentionally made it look older.

Unfortunately, the other pirates didn’t believe him.

Then everyone looked towards Fan Tianyin.

They wondered what her expression was behind the veil, but her knitted

brows had explained she was hesitating.

“I will never give up the treasures just because of what this guy said!” Tu

Tiandao made his att.i.tude clear.

Before interest, he was even less afraid of Fan Tianyin.

“Jiang Chen, just open it,” said Fan Tianyin.

Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised. He just shook his head gently.

“Jiang Chen would never lie to you!” Tang s.h.i.+ya expressed her support for

Jiang Chen right away.

However, she lowered her head as soon as Fan Tianyin threw her a glance.

She didn’t dare look into the latter’s eyes.

“I can open it, but I won’t go inside,” Jiang Chen said.

“Then you won’t have a share of the treasures.” Thinking he was playing

another trick, Tu Tiandao turned black.

“How will you be able to share the treasures if there is none.”

Laughing coldly, Jiang Chen didn’t want to argue with them. He said, “I’ll open

the gate of the ward for you. Then I’ll bid my farewell.”

“Go back to the Sea Conqueror to wait for us. I’ll give you the control of the

s.h.i.+p,” Fan Tianyin said.

Tang s.h.i.+ya pulled Jiang Chen’s clothes from behind before he could respond.

She wanted him to agree.

At the same time, she said, “Even though you don’t believe Jiang Chen, I

believe him.”

Jiang Chen was still hesitating, not about whether to go into the gate, but

whether to talk Fan Tianyin out of it.

But judging from the other pirates’ expressions, he knew his persuasion

wouldn’t work.

So he lifted the ward of the stone gate. Since he had managed to see the flaw

about the age, of course it was easy for him to lift the ward, too.

The emptiness in the gate was filled by lights that looked like watermarks.

A pirate reached into it. He felt he had reached into water.

“Get prepared. Brace yourselves up,” Fan Tianyin told them.

Seeing Jiang Chen crack the ward so easily, what he had said weighed more

in the other pirates’ heart.

But they wouldn’t give up. They insisted on taking this risk.

“Are you really not gonna enter it?”

Fan Tianyin asked him for the last time.

“I won’t do something that will bring me into trouble.”

There were no treasures inside. Of course Jiang Chen wouldn’t go inside.

“I’m now giving you the control of the Sea Conqueror. You can go back to

save those people.”

Fan Tianyin gave him a round jade.

Holding the jade in hand, Jiang Chen established a connection with the Sea

Conqueror immediately. The s.h.i.+p was like his four limbs. He could control it at

will.

“Jiang Chen, let’s go.”

Seeing the two gazing at each other, Tang s.h.i.+ya urged him unhappily.

“Take care.”

Jiang Chen told her. Then he flew back to the Sea Conqueror with Tang

s.h.i.+ya.

From the air, he saw Fan Tianyin and the other pirates walk into the gate one

by one.

“You’re too softhearted.”

As if she had detected something, Tang s.h.i.+ya said, “You’ll get involved with

that woman sooner or later in this way.”

“I know how to decline her,” Jiang Chen said.

“Jiang Chen, don’t forget that woman is a pirate, and a pirate head. No one

knows how many people she killed.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya said in anger, “Many of those on the Evilest Island are innocent

people.”

“s.h.i.+ya, why are you so afraid of her?” Jiang Chen asked abruptly.

Tang s.h.i.+ya was too surprised to respond him quickly. She looked nervous.

She said after a good while, “She is a Celestial Venerable. Of course I’m

afraid of her.”

“That’s all?”

Jiang Chen looked at her seriously. Tang s.h.i.+ya also turned to look at him.

Then, smiling at each other, they stopped talking about it.

After going back to the Sea Conqueror, Jiang Chen released the captives of

the Ten Symbols Alliance first. Then he knew the truth of the Evilest Island

from them.

Fan Tianyin didn’t lie. The Ten Symbols Alliance’s strategy was to use the

blood of those innocent men to satisfy the so-called evil spirit on the Evilest

Island.

What was ironic was the Ten Symbols Alliance would still have casualties

while picking the Extreme Primordial Fruits on the island.

Tang s.h.i.+ya said, “Jiang Chen, now the Sea Conqueror is under our control. If

we capture those pirates, too, it will be a great merit.”

“Yeah?” Jiang Chen was surprised to hear that.

“These pirates are usually hiding on the islands. There are so many islands

on the sea that no one exactly knows where they are. It’s a rare chance that

they’ve got together.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya continued, “By then, you, the Marquis Champion of the Flying

Dragon Dynasty, will be famous all over the Realm of True Force. When you

go to the Flying Dragon Dynasty, you’ll have real power.”

“That’s what you think? Really?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Yep.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya nodded. She said, “Isn’t it what we came here for? Or, are you

feeling sorry for that woman?”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown. She had expressed her jealousy and

suspicion many times.

“Have you ever heard about what happened to the son of the leader of the

Tianyi School?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Anything wrong? I know him. He went to the banquet, too.” Tang s.h.i.+ya

wondered why he had suddenly brought this up.

“He is alive?”

“Of course.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya’s answer proved Fan Tianyin’s story was false.

Her version contradicted Fan Tianyin’s. He didn’t know whom he should

believe.

“Let’s go to the Evilest Island first,” Jiang Chen said.

“Okay.”

Seeing him unwilling to attack the pirates, Tang s.h.i.+ya was disappointed, even

a little sad.

Going back to the sea area close to the Evilest Island, the Sea Conqueror

was ready to dive into the water.

“Look up!”

Someone on the deck suddenly pointed at the sky. Numerous lights flew over,

with long airflow behind.

Jiang Chen made the Sea Conqueror’s weapons ready.

“Celestial Venerables. Lots of Celestial Venerables!”

They saw figures when the lights had been close enough.

It was a team mainly formed by Celestial Venerables. There were about 40 or

50 people.

“Which force is powerful enough to form such a team?!”

Those on the s.h.i.+p were puzzled. Then the same name occurred to them.

The Sacred Martial Arts Inst.i.tute!

However, sending such a team was even rare for the Sacred Martial Arts

Inst.i.tute.

There weren’t many Celestial Venerables in all. It wouldn’t be wise to send

lots of them to gain a victory. If the enemy was a great Venerable, they would

just send a great Venerable to deal with the enemy.

The team didn’t stop when they had been over the Sea Conqueror. They only

slowed down.

Jiang Chen saw something odd. The team formed two defensive circles.

One formed the inner ring, and the other formed the outer ring.

Those in the inner ring were obviously very different from those in the outer

ring.

At the center of the rings was a youngster in flamboyant clothes. His airflow

was also the most brilliant.

He lowered his head, seemingly having perceived Jiang Chen’s look. The two

made a brief eye contact.

The youngster smiled. It wasn’t a friendly smile, but a disdainful one, as if he

was in a higher position.

He looked away and kept flying.

Shortly after the team had left, a man from the team flew towards the Sea

Conqueror.

“He is from the Sacred Martial Arts Inst.i.tute,” Tang s.h.i.+ya said seriously, after

seeing that man’s face.
