Chapter 966 Return to Hell
Xila made a quick decision: "We can't let the dragon go to the royal family. I'll issue a mission to the merchant guild and let my Broken Bottle Merchant Guild take it over. At least the merchant guild can control it!"

Gabriel said irritably, "You should find a chance to go back to Black Iron City, do some social quests, and hurry up and replace Da Chun as the guild leader."

Xila sighed, "We've pretty much finished this battle of attacking and defending the village. I just hope our mentor won't give us any more pointless missions."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the mentor declared, "Although the Dragon King was defeated, I will not allow mortals to desecrate his remains. I demand that the Dragon King's remains be placed in the northern snow mountains."

The men were stunned: "What?"

Zhong Chenghua paused for a moment, then agreed: "Okay."

"After all, respecting the Dragon King's remains is also respecting the Black Dragon God of the village."

How boring!

Sila panicked: "Mentor, how are we supposed to move something this huge?"

The mentor pointed to the cargo ship: "Let's go upstream and tow it to the upper reaches. There's an excavator on board that can be used to dig graves. This ship belongs to Miss Shirley, right? We would appreciate it if Miss Shirley could help us with this."

Sherry said, "Of course I have to help my mentor, the bishop, but the ship belongs to the captain, so we have to see if the captain has the ability."

The captain was in a dilemma: "Madam, the river is already very turbulent here. Our boat has only made it this far thanks to the help of mermaids and fish gods. I have very little confidence in continuing upstream."

The mentor was very determined: "The Fishman God is still here. I would like to ask a few of the city beauties to help escort him."

Eve said, "Of course I have no problem, but the battle for the village isn't over yet. Why don't we leave tomorrow morning?"

The mentor was very anxious: "Once it gets light, the villagers, especially the strong people from other cities who came to support us, will know our whereabouts. I can't rule out the possibility that they will secretly dig up the graves. I don't want them to know."

Fafnir sighed, "Alright, with the village's current strength, I believe we can hold out in this final battle. Let's set off tonight."

Sila was frantic! At this ship's speed, going upstream while digging a grave—how many days would that take? She desperately wanted to ask if she could skip it, but Fafnir was going anyway, how could she not go?
Sila lamented in the chat group: "Forget it, I'll just talk to Fafnir about replacing Dachun on the way."

Michael said in a deep voice, "No, you can say this to other NPCs, but you can't say it to an NPC of the City Lord's caliber. It will be considered disloyal. Even if it's a boring quest, try your best to perform well and further solidify your relationship with Fafnir."

Sariel sighed, "Actually, building a dragon tomb is fine. It doesn't rule out the possibility of resurrection in the future. Being resurrected as an undead dragon is better than being skinned alive."

Xila muttered, "The problem is, I'm going to have to stay up all night again..."

Gabriel laughed: "Who doesn't stay up all night these days?"

Raphael laughed and said, "There's no such thing as staying up all night if everyone stays up all night."

Uriel said irritably, "I'm the most bored one. I've been in the village all day and I still don't know what to do."

Xila laughed and said, "Let's rebuild the village, gain its trust, and reach its peak."

"Fake!"

……

Half an hour later, Da Chun finally witnessed the pirate ship's triumphant return!

At that moment, perhaps due to the grandfather's deliberate cooperation, the tavern erupted in cheers once again: "Cheers!"

Da Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This time the return trip was much slower."

Eileen laughed and said, "Of course, after all, it was loaded with a lot of energy and we had to maintain a smuggling state, so the speed was much slower, but fortunately we are finally back. Now we will enter the digestion phase of plundering resources."

Da Chun asked, "So, it means replenishing our divine power?"

Eileen smiled and said, "Yes, the transformation also takes time. So theoretically, pirate ships can be deployed without limit, but considering the digestion time, it is quite limited."

Da Chun thought for a moment: "Can't we not convert it? This energy belongs to the Dragon King. Now that the Dragon Soul and the Crystal Core are still here, why not just let it receive it and return it to its rightful owner? That's much more reasonable than us converting it, isn't it?"

Eileen said in surprise, "Since that's how you've arranged it, I have no objection."

Da Chun said, "Dragon King, I will continue to entrust your power to you!"

The Dragon King was somewhat moved: "Your pirate ship consumes a lot of energy just for the transformation process. Is that a good idea?"

Da Chun: "If you become stronger quickly, you can help me more, so I might not necessarily lose out."

The Dragon King didn't mince words: "Alright, then I'll just take a nap in the cargo hold."

Da Chun continued to give instructions: "Ellen, immediately call Yatnas to repair the Dragon King's crystal core."

"OK, dear."

Liya breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really tired. I'll eat something and then take a nap. Oh, by the way, I have something to tell the Dragon King. Just now, my main body and the other city beauties requisitioned that excavator cargo ship to haul the Dragon King's body to the northern snow mountain for burial."

The Dragon King was deeply moved: "Although it is a mutilated body that has caused me so much pain and suffering, I am very grateful. Perhaps in the future, when my dragon soul and divine status are strong enough, I can be resurrected."

Resurrection? Yes, God, resurrection is standard procedure.

Da Chun was pleased: "That's good too."

However, now that the Four Cities Flower Capital has left the village, it's no longer possible for my alt account to transform into a vine and discuss raiding Valhalla with them. It's better for my main account to talk to Lia directly.

"Lia, can I tell you something important that concerns you?"

Liya asked in surprise, "Something important? Tell me!"

Da Chun said, "If my pirate ship were to hijack the Hall of Heroes of the Golden Throne, what would you think?"

Lia was astonished: "This?"

Da Chunhan said, "I know there will be a lot of trouble afterwards."

Lia clapped her hands and laughed: "I don't care about the trouble afterward, I just think the trouble isn't big enough!"

Yeah, I know you have a grudge against Emperor, that biological father of yours!
Da Chun asked urgently, "What about them?"

Leah laughed and said, "That's true, we'll have to discuss it at the gathering. But I suggest you don't overthink it. Pirates are like that; kidnapping is commonplace for them if they have the ability!"

The gathering refers to the small meeting of their souls in Valhalla, right?

Eileen was a little confused: "What are you talking about, darling?"

Um, I was talking about my alternate account... It's normal that Ellen doesn't understand. The Earth Mother knows the secret of my alternate account, and the mermaid knows it through the spiritual world network of the Natural Secret Cult, but Ellen, my wife, is the only one who doesn't. This feeling is mainly because we're used to keeping it from her...

Da Chun decided to reveal something: "I have a secret. The Hall of Heroes on the Golden Throne is imprisoning the souls of five city beauties. I want the pirate ship to rescue them all—well, you could say kidnap them. That way, I, the Pirate King, can marry all five of them!"

Lia laughed: "You said you wanted to kidnap me and marry me right in front of me, wouldn't you call that a marriage proposal?"

Da Chunhan said, "I agree!"

Lia smiled and said, "Okay, I agree on her behalf."

Ah~~~~ That's so decisive! That's exactly the kind of straightforwardness I've been looking for! She's happy, so why should I hesitate?

Eileen panicked: "Darling, that's the Golden Throne! I don't have the coordinates! Besides, it's the Emperor's palace; the difficulty is beyond imagination!"

I'll use my alt account to infiltrate and provide the coordinates!
Da Chun had also made up his mind: "So, I've decided to come back to the island of evil spirits depending on the situation. I've been on Evil Spirit Island for too long, and things here are almost settled. I'll act when I'm ready." Ai Lian smiled and said, "Okay, darling. I've been very worried and missed you these past two days since you've come back."

"Don't worry, darling, continue drinking with Grandpa first..."

……

Dachun switched back to his trumpet.

Now that the main account is no longer a concern, the key is for the alt account to find its way back to Hell. Is there a path to Hell in Ironflame Village? But that might be troublesome. Can we just die? Can we contact the CEO sister using the laptop? What about the cross teleportation necklace the CEO sister gave us, and the teleportation stone from the Earthflame Tribe?

Da Chun selected the two long-lost teleportation items in his inventory, and sure enough, they displayed "Too far away to use".

Indeed, it's not just the distance that's far! My strength is also vastly different now; I'm a massive energy body that two small props simply can't move.

Is it still the only option to contact the secret unit arranged by the CEO via laptop?
When I selected the notebook from Da Chun's inventory, there were no small green dots on the surrounding map. I tried to contact them, but like with Baron Beelzebub's communications, I received a "wait patiently" message.

What? Could it be that I secretly flew here from the Gem City Elemental Realm, across the ocean, and the secret forces lost track of me? Or are they unable to transform into human form and unable to use the teleportation array to get here?

Forget it, we can't count on them anyway.

Well, all four of my thousand-year-old demon beauties are in the village, and Vice President Uriel is there too. Why should I go to all this trouble? Others may be helpless, but the Ten Elders can't either?

That's right, we need to contact the Ten Elders about this! Otherwise, if I secretly go back and the Ten Elders can't reach me, they'll suspect me instead. Then the Chamber of Commerce will have to take action.

[Wonima, President of the Dios Commerce Association Channel]: Is the battle over yet?

Kaisa: "We only defeated the leader; the other ancient creatures are still at large."

Wonima: "Is the vice president here? I've saved the fruit trees!"

Uriel immediately replied, "As expected of the guild leader, the guild leader is too strong!"

You brat, you summoned me all the way from Gem City just to save the fruit trees? I hope you ten elders can build up the brand of this fruit.

Wonima: "I want to go back and report to the family about my achievements in defeating the guardian deity these past few days, so I can gain more support from the family. But I didn't fight this time, so I don't know if my achievement of defeating the Dragon King leader counts?"

Uriel was suddenly taken aback. It wanted to go back? Good! Then these four witches would be under my command, and I could work on building their favorability.

Olica laughed, "Of course it counts! Although the guild leader didn't make a move, we went all out inside the magic tower!"

Metadisia laughed and said, "That's right, all the achievements of our Chamber of Commerce are due to the effective leadership of our president!"

Uriel: "You're all right."

Shoe Angel: "I disagree!"

Wine Angel: "Old Shoes is right."

Holy crap, there's a spy in the Chamber of Commerce!
Da Chun almost laughed when he heard this, but got straight to the point: "So how do we get back?"

Uriel offered a suggestion: "Chairman, the Dragon God of this Iron Flame Village was secretly transported to the surface from the volcanic passage by the Black Hand organization. There is a passage leading underground here."

No, you're one of the Ten Elders! I'm asking you this openly because I'm hoping you'll stand out from the crowd. Do you think I don't know that?

Wonima: "But the volcanic passages are very complicated, what if we get lost?"

Uriel suddenly remembered something: "Does the guild leader have a teleportation stone from the Earth Flame Tribe?"

Yes, that's right. It was you who used your privilege points to issue the bounty mission, and our team went to destroy that Abyssal Flame Hydra and obtained the Earth Flame Crystal Core for modification.

"But it's too far, we can't teleport there."

Uriel: "The biggest function of the teleportation stone is actually to provide coordinates. Now that the four ladies are here, and there is also the magic tower, with the four ladies plus the magic tower's bonus, it is possible to teleport the commander back to the Earth Flame Tribe."

What the hell!

It seems I've been staying up all night and sleeping so much that I'm completely out of it, I didn't even think of such a simple principle! What's more, I have a divine-level spatial technique, no, I mean a spatial law enhancement, so teleporting will be even easier for me!
"That's great, let's teleport then!"

Kasha panicked: "What will we do if the guild leader teleports away?"

Holy crap! And what about the orchard? This battle isn't over yet.

But that's more in line with Wonima's identity, otherwise why would he guard the orchard until dawn to end the battle? It seems like he's deliberately supporting Chinese players, which is very suspicious.

Wonima: "That's true. The battle isn't over yet. If I leave, the fruit trees might be destroyed, which would mean I didn't save them."

Come on, let me help you think of a solution.

Uriel immediately said, "Ladies, don't rush. We've already gained the village's trust by guarding it. We'll stay in the village and try to open the passage to hell. As for the orchard, the ladies and I will focus on guarding it."

Ha! No wonder he's called the Tenth Elder.

Wonima: "So, that's what we'll do?"

Kasha said, "Then please, Guild Master, enter the village and go into the magic tower."

Uriel said sourly, "Didn't we say before that these were Miss Eve's personal belongings, and men weren't allowed in?"

Kaisa: "The guild leader is an earth/fire elementalist!"

Da Chun felt uncomfortable hearing this. "Am I not a man? Have you forgotten the power of my pile driver?"
Fine.

Da Chun then said to Di Lian, "Let's go back, shrink our vines, and hide in the village."

"Okay, Father."

It has to be said that the vines spread out too far; it took several minutes to shrink completely.

Then Da Chun returned to human form, took advantage of the chaos of the night to emerge from the ground and sneak into the village, arriving at the magic tower and knocking on the door.

Pawa landed: "I'm more proficient in spatial teleportation, let me help you."

Holy crap! Does that mean you saw me sneaking into the village? This guardian spirit is amazing!

Da Chun should still express his gratitude: "Thank you, it's exactly what I needed!"

Kasha: "Mr. Napawa, please come in."

Wine Angel: "In that case, I also—"

Kasha: "Don't come here with your old wine and old shoes. You'll reek of alcohol and athlete's foot, and you'll ruin Miss Eve's tower."

what!
For some reason, at this moment, Da Chun didn't feel at all that there were three more spies in the Chamber of Commerce; on the contrary, it was even more lively than before. Come to think of it, he had hardly ever had the chance to chat in the Chamber of Commerce channel before because he was working alone.

Da Chun entered the magic tower, took his designated position, and placed the Earth Flame Teleportation Stone in place.

Then, amidst a deafening spatial fluctuation, the scene shifted!
Da Chun returns to the long-lost Tu Yan tribe!
I'm back! It feels like a lifetime ago.

At this moment, Da Chun not only wanted to see the CEO, but also wanted to see Maria, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
