The outcome of this battle was already decided once the core of the Wang family's spirit ship's formation was destroyed.

Although the Wang family cultivators fought desperately, they made several attempts to break through the encirclement.

But when he witnessed Wang Kui's defeat and the cruel twisting of his head, leaving him with unseeing eyes, he completely lost the will to resist.

The others put down their ritual implements and knelt down in surrender.

The entire spirit ship was quickly taken over by the Bloodstained Bandits.

About half an hour later, the battle came to a complete end.

The few who stubbornly resisted were all slaughtered.

The sky was overcast, the wind and waves on the sea were gradually subsiding, and the waves were no longer as turbulent as before.

The great battle has just ended.

What came into view was a shocking and tragic scene.

Smoke curled upwards, torn apart by the sea breeze, while shattered ship planks and corpses rose and fell with the waves.

The surrounding sea was stained dark red with blood, and the pungent smell of blood lingered even in the wind.

Thus, the Bloodstained Thief's scheme had succeeded.

Not only did they capture a spirit ship, but the three ships belonging to the Luo family that were transporting minerals also failed to escape.

Both ships had capsized, their masts looming precariously over the sea.

The other ship was also riddled with holes and was slowly sinking.

Only the last Luo family spirit ship, seeing the situation was dire, decisively turned around and managed to escape with its life.

At this moment, several pirates were scattered around the battlefield, busy cleaning up their spoils.

Some people stepped among the floating corpses and rummaged through their belongings, skillfully tearing off the valuables one by one.

Some people boarded the wrecked ship, ransacking it and looting everywhere.

Several people also dived into the sea and retrieved boxes of sunken mineral materials from the water.

They were all quick and efficient, with well-organized division of labor and outstanding professional skills.

the other side.

The Wang family's spirit ship.

More than ten corpses lay scattered on the deck.

Blood pooled in the trench, forming a stream that dripped down the side of the ship and into the sea.

Seven or eight members of the Wang family, their hair disheveled and their clothes torn, knelt on one side of the deck.

Their faces were deathly pale, they trembled like leaves, their heads hung low, and they dared not utter a sound.

Several Bloodstained Thieves stood casually to the side, playing with the treasures they had just stolen, laughing and chatting as if no one else was around.

At the bow of the ship, Duanlang, his robes torn and his face stained with blood, stood with his hands behind his back.

He looked up and surveyed his surroundings, watching his men plunder with unbridled abandon, his expression cold and indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

Not long after.

A line of water cuts through the waves.

Shi Qianye rode the demonic shark swiftly towards the side of the ship, leaped onto the deck, and quickly walked behind Duan Lang, bowing respectfully.

"Boss, most of that cargo sank into the deep sea. We don't have enough ships. Why don't we take the valuables with us first, and salvage the rest when we have more ships ready?"

Duan Lang frowned slightly upon hearing this:

"We escaped on one ship. Those people aren't stupid. They'll definitely come back in droves to investigate. We don't have the time to go back and forth like that."

After saying that, his thoughts shifted, and his gaze fell on the few Wang family prisoners kneeling on the ground.

After a moment's hesitation, he said calmly:

"There are boats on Black Reef Island. Bring them out and find out the truth about the island, then go directly to the island to pick up the boats and transport the goods."

Shi Qianye was slightly taken aback, and hesitated before saying:

"Does the boss mean... we still need to take Black Reef Island?"

Duan Lang spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial:

"It's just a matter of course. Once we figure out the formation, the remaining guards are nothing to worry about."

The brothers have been clamoring to go back to the island to rest these past few days, so let's just go all out this time.

After speaking, he raised his chin and looked at someone not far away:

"Deng Jiu, you did a good job this time. You've been on the island for a long time and are familiar with the situation. I'll leave these weaklings to you. Find out the situation on Black Reef Island."

Deng Jiu was the one who suddenly launched an attack and destroyed the central core of the formation.

He was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately cupped his hands in response:

"Yes, sir! Don't worry, leave it to me!"

After saying that, he strode forward, his gaze sweeping coldly over the row of prisoners, and dragged the most powerful member of the royal family aside.

Reaching out, I gently pulled the other person's chin upwards, meeting their eyes, and softly asked:

"I'm going to ask you a few minor questions next. Please answer truthfully, fellow Daoist, so that you may have a chance to survive. Understand?"

The Wang family cultivator felt a surge of hatred in his heart, but his face was full of fear. He shook his head repeatedly, his voice trembling as he said:

"What do you want to ask? I... I'm only responsible for patrolling the ship; I know nothing else..."

"Ha, you can't explain it before I even ask?"

Deng Jiu couldn't help but chuckle, and slowly nodded, saying:

"Very well, since you are unwilling to cooperate, I will have to help you recall it properly."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes flashed with anger, and he kicked the man to the ground.

The kick was so powerful that it caused the other person to vomit blood and turn deathly pale.

He then reached out and ripped the other person's robes apart, exposing their private parts.

Then, with a flick of his fingers, he pulled out a piece of wire, grinned maliciously, grabbed his testicles, and thrust it in with all his might, piercing through them fiercely!

Then, pinch both ends of the wire and pull and bounce it like playing a zither, with each pull stronger than the last.

"Ah ...

The Wang family cultivator's eyes widened, his body convulsed, and his screams were so shrill they were inhuman, yet he didn't even dare to struggle.

Within moments, tears streamed down his face as he desperately begged for mercy at the top of his lungs.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll talk right now! Please... please stop..."

"Heh, it would have been better if you had known better earlier. You brought this on yourself."

Deng Jiu smiled gently, slowly pulled out the wire, licked the red and white substance on it, and softly reminded him:

"You'd better think this through before you speak. If you tell even the slightest lie, I have many more tricks up my sleeve to deal with you."

The Wang family cultivator's spirit had been crushed; he lay sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, muttering repeatedly to himself:

"I'll talk... I'll talk... I'll talk right away..."

Shi Qianye witnessed this scene, his heart stirred slightly, and he cupped his hands towards Duan Lang, saying:

"Boss, since there's nothing else here, I'll go and inform the brothers so they can get ready."

Duan Lang didn't even raise his head, he just waved his hand dismissively.

Shi Qianye bowed again, turned and leaped into the sea, landing right on the back of the approaching shark.

The giant shark lashed out with its tail, cleaving through a white wave, and carried him swiftly into the hazy mist.

"..."

at the same time.

On a deserted island more than ten miles from the battlefield.

Jiang Yi stood solemnly on the cliff overlooking the sea, his eyes fixed on the direction of the battlefield, remaining silent for a long time.

Little Pear obediently perched on my shoulder.

It had just been frightened and was clinging tightly to Jiang Yi's neck, its blue eyes wide open, looking around nervously and curiously.

Soon after.

A crimson sail silently pierced through the mist, speeding straight toward the deserted island.

A tall figure stood at the bow of the ship, having removed the blood-stained cloth from his face to reveal a handsome face with well-defined features.

Her features still vaguely resembled those of yesteryear, but her eyes had become unusually cold.

Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the blood-red sailboat that was getting closer and closer, his five fingers unconsciously clenching and unclenching.

My emotions are surging, a complex mix that's hard to describe...
