Purple Pearl led all the crew members, carefully stepping onto the island.
However, contrary to Purple Pearl's expectations, the entire island was unusually quiet.
The morning sunlight shone on the beach, casting a dazzling golden light.
White waves gently washed the shore, creating a scene of peaceful tranquility.
However, the beautiful and serene environment did not ease the tension in Purple Pearl's heart.
Her brow furrowed tightly, and her gaze turned solemnly towards the interior of the island.
She thought to herself, "What's going on? Haven't they landed yet?
Why is it so quiet?"
Just as she was harboring doubts, she saw the outpost not far away.
At the same time, she also saw three corpses lying on the ground.
She quickly stepped forward and saw the three heads with peaceful expressions and closed eyes, and a chill ran through her heart.
The old pirate beside her said in astonishment, "Such a clean attack! Judging by their expressions, they didn't even have time to react.
Is this the external help that the captain found?"
Purple Pearl thought bitterly, "How could I have the ability to find such external help?"
However, Purple Pearl also knew that now was not the time to say these things.
She immediately led the crew towards the center of the island.
However, as they went deeper, they saw countless headless corpses, peacefully collapsing on the cold ground.
Some people seemed to have died suddenly in the process of cooking.
The aroma of food echoed in the quiet village.
"So many people have died, yet there isn't a trace of blood.
Truly terrifying!"
Purple Pearl then noticed the sense of incongruity.
They had walked almost halfway and seen hundreds of corpses, but she hadn't smelled any blood.
After a brief pause, they quickened their pace.
A quarter of an hour had passed since they landed on the island.
The Purple Pearl pirate crew arrived at the center of Golden Sand Island.
The buildings in the center were clearly a level above those on the periphery. In the center of the many stone houses, the group finally saw Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
At this time, behind the two of them, were piles of wooden boxes as tall as two people. Some of the wooden boxes were opened, and inside were many dazzling gems and treasures.
Obviously, these were all kinds of treasures collected by the Golden Sand pirate crew.
However, when all the members of the Purple Pearl pirate crew saw the countless treasures, they didn't feel a trace of greed in their hearts.
This was because Quan Yi and Huo Wu, standing in front of the treasure chests, exuded a terrifyingly cold murderous aura.
Those with weaker strength saw strange phantoms appear before their eyes just by glancing at the two figures.
Even Purple Pearl, the strongest of them all, couldn't stop her body from trembling when she stood in front of the two.
Quan Yi noticed the performance of the Purple Pearl pirate crew.
He smiled lightly and said, "You've finally arrived. You still need to help us deal with the aftermath here."
As he spoke, the dense murderous aura emanating from Quan Yi's body completely returned to himself.
The terrifying murderous aura brought about by killing a thousand people could not affect Quan Yi's own mind at all under Quan Yi's powerful mental strength.
Although Huo Wu's kill count was less than five hundred, they were all the most powerful Soul Masters, and the murderous aura accumulated on her body was no less than Quan Yi's.
However, this murderous aura could not affect Huo Wu's powerful mental strength either.
Moreover, Huo Wu, who had received the Phoenix Remnant Spirit's sacrifice, inherited the purification ability of the Phoenix Flame in her sea of consciousness.
A mere murderous aura could not shake Huo Wu's heart.
However, after the slaughter, the two people's minds obviously underwent a huge change.
→
The various hesitations in the two people's hearts gradually dissipated. After this incident, their hearts would become more decisive.
As warriors, they had obviously completed a transformation.
Looking at Quan Yi who could control himself freely, Purple Pearl developed a psychology of submission towards Quan Yi and Huo Wu in her heart.
"Yes, please wait a moment.
I will clean up."
Purple Pearl immediately led the crew to clean up the mess everywhere.
Burning corpses, freeing imprisoned slaves, and collecting scattered treasures and supplies.
Thanks to their fifty or so Soul Masters and four hundred or so strong pirates, they were able to complete all the work before sunset.
At night, Purple Pearl stood respectfully in front of Quan Yi, reporting the specific information about Golden Sand Island.
"The Golden Sand pirate crew has forty sea ships and assets and treasures worth more than one million gold soul coins in total.
Inside the island, excluding the 521 freed slaves, a total of 1,942 corpses were burned.
Those slaves have all been placed in the residences where the pirate crew lives, and they are now stable.
In addition, there are many fertile fields inside the island. According to our judgment, they can completely supply 3,000 people to be self-sufficient.
My lord, do you have any other instructions?"
Quan Yi sat quietly in front of the bonfire, pondering deeply, and then ordered, "You have done a good job, that's all for today.
Tomorrow we will go to Demon Vulture Island, let everyone go back and have a good rest."
Purple Pearl bowed and slowly retreated.
Her attitude was more respectful than at the beginning.
Huo Wu sat beside Quan Yi and asked, "What are you going to do with these people? More than 500 slaves is no small number?"
"These people can be settled on Golden Sand Island first. When we capture Demon Vulture Island, our fleet can enter the island, and then they will be properly handled by the family."
The slavery system that has been swept into the garbage heap of history still exists on this isolated island far from the mainland.
In the sea area without laws, the law of the jungle is even more prominent.
There are very few pirate crews that support the weak like the Purple Pearl pirate crew.
It is precisely for this reason that Quan Yi unhesitatingly chose Golden Sand Island and Demon Vulture Island as targets.
That night, the sea area of Golden Sand Island was calm and the waves were quiet. This day was just like usual, without any disturbances.
However, no one would know that a surging undercurrent was gathering.
Early the next morning, the Purple Pearl set sail from Golden Sand Island.
However, this time, the pirate crew left half of its members to take over Golden Sand Island.
The other half went to Demon Vulture Island.
After a day of sailing, the sea ship arrived in the sea area near Demon Vulture Island at sunset.
After a day of rest, Quan Yi and Huo Wu not only fully recovered, but even had a significant increase in their state.
You must know that after evolving into the ultimate fire, the speed of improvement in the two people's cultivation was comparable to that of a snail.
Especially Huo Wu, she did not have the assistance of Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Horn, and her cultivation speed was slower than Quan Yi's.
However, I didn't expect that a real battle would be helpful for the improvement of Soul Master's cultivation.
This made Huo Wu even more looking forward to the trip to Demon Vulture Island.
At the moment of sunset, ten sea ships were scattered around the sea area of Demon Vulture Island.
Most of them are patrol ships.
In terms of the degree of strictness of the alert, the Demon Vulture pirate crew is more stringent than the Golden Sand pirate crew.
