Chapter 471 Anger

"Hmm?" Bai You, who was feeling a chill in her heart, suddenly paused. Sensing the spatial fluctuations, she turned her head to look at the distance where silver light was shining and spatial power was surging out.

"Is that a teleportation array? Who came here?" Little Willow followed Bai You's gaze, her eyes filled with curiosity.

It's important to understand that while Verdant Island has multiple teleportation arrays built under Bai You's modifications, the one located at the Verdant Giant Tree is different. Even the local lord, Earl Karl, and the dominant pirates of Pirate Bay wouldn't teleport directly here unless in an emergency.

"Could it be those people from Pirate Bay?" Little Willow frowned slightly and pouted with some worry as she watched the light appear.

Given the current situation, the only place that urgently needs to be teleported here is Pirate Bay. If that's the case, then we're in serious trouble.

After all, although the Pirate Bay doesn't have many people, it still has a lot of strength. The three pirate overlords who have been subdued are all true fourth-level domain-level extraordinary beings. With their fleets, their strength is quite formidable.

If we can force them to send someone here urgently, the trouble they encounter will most likely involve the fifth tier. In that case, even Sister Youyou alone would probably find it difficult to handle.

After all, Sister Youyou's summoning array has a very high upper limit, but without any preparation, it can only unleash fifth-tier combat power for a very short time.

"I don't know, let's wait for them to arrive." Bai You's heart sank. What Xiao Liu'er could think of, she naturally could too. In her opinion, this time the incident must have happened at Pirate Bay.

I didn't expect those people to act so quickly, making a move against Pirate Bay so early. It seems that this time she not only has to go there in person, but also has to go to the Abyss of the Dead to recruit some people.

However, even if the Golden Skeleton King doesn't show up, the mere appearance of a large number of fourth-tier undead will likely lead many to speculate about the relationship between Pirate Bay and Emerald Isle.

Just as Xiao Liu'er was feeling worried and Bai You was feeling heavy-hearted, the silver light of the teleportation array not far away faded, and ripples appeared on the teleportation gate that had been formed. Immediately afterwards, a white cat with flapping wings rushed out impatiently.

"Huh??" Bai You and Xiao Liu'er were stunned when they saw the white cat that came out of the teleportation array.

Just then, a handsome young man with a silver-blue snake on his head walked out of the portal.

"Ye Mo! Xiao Bai!"

"Daddy, Sister Xiaobai!"

Two clear, excited voices came from Bai You and Xiao Liu'er, and their expressions, after the initial surprise, were filled with excitement and joy.

"Little Willow, sister!" Bai Ling, who was the first to come out, called out and flew over impatiently. At the same time, Little Willow, who was also excited, flew over as well.

Seeing this, Bai Ling's eyes were filled with relief. She flapped her wings, spread her little claws, and slowed down her speed towards Xiao Liu'er.

Unfortunately, Little Willow flew right past her and crashed into Ye Mo's chest from behind.

"Daddy, I miss you so much." Little Liu rushed to Ye Mo's chest and rubbed against him before looking up and saying with a pure and innocent expression.

Seeing this, Ye Mo held her with one hand and patted her head with the other, smiling and saying, "Yes, I know, I miss you all too."

Seeing this, Xingli on the shoulder felt envious and secretly shrank back.

At that moment, Bai Ling, who was still suspended in the air, turned her head and saw this scene, and her face immediately fell.

However, she still had her older sister. Thinking of this, she immediately turned around to look at her sister Bai You, only to find that the spot where Bai You had been was empty, with nothing there.

Huh? This, could it be...?

With a sudden flash of inspiration, Bai Ling turned her head again in the air, and as she expected, her sister Bai You was already squatting on Ye Mo's shoulder, talking intimately to him.

"Youyou, Little Willow, it's been a long time." Ye Mo looked at Little Willow in his arms and Bai You on his shoulder, and his mood immediately brightened up.

This time, he first teleported from the dimensional teleportation array in Qingxue Mountain Range to the dimensional teleportation array built in the Abyss of the Dead. After briefly greeting the undead there, he couldn't wait to teleport here.

Judging from Xiao Liu'er and Bai Ling's condition, they should be doing quite well during this period.

After all, he had started his investigation early on, so he could clearly see Xiao Liu'er and Bai You's attribute panels.

Bai You is now level 47, which seems to be much lower than Hanhan and the others, but you should know that Bai You devotes most of his energy to array mastery, so reaching level 47 is already quite impressive.

Besides his level, Bai You has also successfully entered the stage of condensing his soul. Although his current progress is less than 10%, it means he has truly embarked on the path of condensing a complete soul, which is quite a pleasant surprise.

As for skills, as he expected, the improvement was only average. Neither of Bai You's two king-level skills, [Pseudo-Necromancer's Authority] and [Netherworld Kingdom], had been upgraded to level 4 perfect.

Xiao Liu'er was pleasantly surprised. Leaving aside her level 49, her skills were even more impressive. Her four King-level skills—[Life Drain], [Flesh Puppet], [Virtual Life Avatar], and [Life Transfer]—were all now at perfect level 4, a significant improvement compared to before.

In particular, the two king skills, [Life Drain] and [Flesh Puppet], have not only reached level 4, but one is level 4 (88%) and the other is level 4 (79%), which is not far from breaking the limit level of level 5.

If Xiao Liu'er's two king-level skills really break through, then the improvement to her strength can only be described as enormous.

Besides skills, Xiao Liu'er also gave a huge surprise in terms of domain. Although he provided resources to help her, it is already very impressive that she was able to raise her domain to the same monarch level as Isaac.

However, Bai You's domain is somewhat lacking. Although he provided resources to help him, Bai You's domain is still at the quasi-monarch level, meaning that only one of its amplification and suppression characteristics has been upgraded to level 5.

"You two have changed a lot lately. Let's go sit over there and have a good chat later." Ye Mo said cheerfully, looking at his two spirit pets, but then he remembered Xing Li and quickly introduced her.

"By the way, her name is Xing Li. If nothing unexpected happens, she will become one of us in the future."

"Xingli, these are Bai You and Xiao Liu'er, whom I told you about before. Don't let their small size fool you, they are quite strong."

After Ye Mo finished his introduction, Bai You and Xiao Liu'er also looked at Xing Li above Ye Mo's head. They had been extremely curious about this little snake they were seeing for the first time.

"Hiss~" (Hello everyone)
Faced with Bai You and the others' gaze, Xing Li subconsciously took a step back and greeted them shyly. Bai You and Xiao Liu'er responded in kind. After a brief introduction, Ye Mo led them forward.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? Let's go together."

On the way, Ye Mo saw Bai Ling, who was suspended in mid-air with her cheeks puffed out. He asked her about it out of curiosity, but only received a glare from Bai Ling.

A short while later, the giant tree fell.

On the carpet that had been laid out, Ye Mo sat on top, surrounded by his contracted spirit pets and those that had not yet been contracted.

Isaac and Hanhan were also summoned by him, but because of their size, they were placed on the outer edge, while Baiyou and Xiaoliuer were right next to him or even on his body.

"Important matters come first; we can talk about chatting later. Youyou, Xiaoliu'er, tell me how things are going here lately," Ye Mo said earnestly to Bai You in front of him. "The current situation of Emerald Island and Pirate Bay, the development of the Pirate Merchant Guild, and the major events that have occurred in the Black Stone Duchy—tell me everything you think is important."

Both Emerald Island and the Pioneer Merchant Guild in this other world are crucial sources of funding for his future growth, and nothing can go wrong with them. That's why, as soon as he returned, he asked Bai You about these matters.

However, the fact that Bai You hasn't sent many messages to his grandfather and him during this period suggests that there shouldn't be any major problems here, and things should be developing quite well.

In addition, Bai You and Xiao Liu'er are growing up quite well, so Ye Mo was quite happy, and his tone was relatively relaxed.

Unfortunately, Ye Mo's smile froze abruptly as Bai You, standing opposite him, said with a grave expression, "Ye Mo, things are going quite well on our side, and things are going smoothly. But recently, Pirate Bay has run into problems, and they're things I can't solve."

As she said this, Bai You's eyes also showed a hint of apology. She felt that Ye Mo had entrusted this place to her management before he left, but she had failed to give him a good answer.

"Pirate Bay? What happened there?" Ye Mo frowned, puzzled.

In his view, the probability of trouble happening in Pirate Bay was far lower than on Emerald Island or the Pirate Merchant Guild. After all, Pirate Bay was essentially just a group of pirates, and although its internal structure was complex, due to the trading contracts, it was highly unlikely that internal strife or similar incidents would occur.

With external interference, and no noteworthy treasures in Pirate Bay, coupled with the fact that the combined forces of many pirates form a formidable force, resembling a hedgehog, how could they possibly attract attention?
unless……

Bai You handed the letter she had received earlier to Ye Mo, her eyes flashing with a cold light, and said icily, "This is a letter that just came from Pirate Bay. You can take a look at it first."

"Ever since you left, Pirate Bay was initially..."

"..."

As Bai You recounted the events that had transpired in Pirate Bay, Ye Mo looked at the letter before him, his anger burning ever brighter.

Unexpectedly, not long after he left, those forces came to test him like dogs chasing after meat.

Although he knew this day would come, he never expected those people to act so quickly and so ruthlessly.

He was well aware that such tests would occur, since the profits of the Pioneer Merchants Association alone were enough to arouse the greed of many forces. Therefore, he made several preparations before leaving.

The main purpose of those preparations was to scare the opponent away with bloodshed. As long as the provocateurs were killed enough, other forces would have to consider whether it was worth it to test the waters.

After all, everyone is afraid of death, especially someone who is considered a powerful figure among the nations of the Light Spirit Continent.

However, most of those preparations were aimed at the fourth tier. If a fifth-tier Saint-level professional appeared among the people sent by the other side to probe, there wouldn't be much that could be done. After all, he himself would have had a hard time even facing a fifth-tier professional at that time.

Looking at it now, whether it's Pirate Bay or Emerald Island, Bai You initially killed quite a few extraordinary individuals who came to provoke and test him, but in the end, only Emerald Island temporarily repelled those people because the fifth-tier Golden Skeleton King made a move.

The situation was less favorable in Pirate Bay. Initially, many factions, perhaps out of fear of the Pirate King's power, refrained from going too far in their provocations or tests. However, as more and more people found themselves unscathed even when provoking Pirate Bay, they became increasingly brazen.

Especially the incident two weeks ago, because the Sapphire Merchant Guild, a famous merchant guild of the Duchy of Bernard among the four duchies, ignored the rules of Pirate Bay and repeatedly provoked others, and even led others to boycott Pirate Bay.

So, when Pirate Bay was preparing to punish the Sapphire Merchant Guild's fleet, two pirate overlords led their fleets there. However, a fifth-tier being suddenly appeared behind the opposing fleet.

The fleets of the last two dominant pirates were decimated, with more than half of their crew members killed or wounded. It's likely that the two dominant pirates were spared only because the other side still had some fear of the Pirate King.

It can be said that after that incident, the reputation of Pirate Bay plummeted, and it never regained its initial overwhelming aura.

Needless to say, the protection fees and tolls paid to the passing fleets after that were something that any fleet with any strength would refuse to pay.

But if that's all there is to it, Ye Mo would actually think it's alright. After all, the opponent has a fifth-level being. Even if that fifth-level being only makes two moves, it's still something that the people in Pirate Bay can't withstand.

In this situation, it's not a big deal if we can't collect tolls and protection fees; we can just wait for him to come back.

Unexpectedly, seeing that the Pirate King still hadn't shown his face after the Pirate Bay's reputation had plummeted, those people became even more brazen in their provocations. Rumors such as the Pirate King not being a fifth-tier Saint-level expert at all, and that the Pirate King was already dead, have now spread throughout most of the sea.

Moreover, the fleets of those various forces have gone from refusing to pay fees to deliberately provoking and even launching attacks, resulting in the deaths of many pirates.

For example, in the letter Bai You gave him before, there was a story about a pirate being attacked by another force.

"Heh, those people just want to see what the Pirate King behind Pirate Bay is all about." Ye Mo put away the letter, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Youyou, let's prepare those people properly this time."

"I'd like to see if they still dare to provoke us after a fifth-tier Saint-level expert falls from the sky."

If he hadn't left yet, he wouldn't have dared to say that. After all, each fifth-tier cultivator was not to be underestimated; even if one could defeat them, killing them would be incredibly difficult.

But he is not the same person he used to be.
