Chapter 1319: Chapter 1316: Profiting from Others’ Misfortune

”Twenty million spirit stones?” Liu Jiushan angrily exclaimed, ”Why don’t you just rob me?”

Though he had been an honored contributor for the Xiao Family for many years,

he had only managed to save this much money.

Spending twenty million top-grade spirit stones to buy a single Poison-Avoiding Pill was too much for him.

The honored contributors from the Situ Family and the Xiao Family never expected Xu Wendong to exploit the situation like this, forcing them to reevaluate this youth in front of them.

Clearly, though impulsive, this guy was also clever.

Because everyone knew,

from what Xu Wendong had done to Liu Jiushan before, Liu Jiushan would not let it slide.

Once back on Bi Quan Ling Island, he would definitely cause trouble for Xu Wendong.

Therefore,

Xu Wendong made a lion’s demand.

Xu Wendong’s lips curled up, ”I could clearly just rob you, but I am still giving you a Poison-Avoiding Pill that can save your life. Don’t you feel I’m being merciful?”

Liu Jiushan was about to speak, but spat out a mouthful of blood, a strong pain spreading through his body, even making it hard to breathe.

”I want it, I do!”

Liu Jiushan’s face was full of weakness. He knew he would pay a heavy price if he didn’t take the elixir.

Rather than that,

securing a Poison-Avoiding Pill first was better.

Xu Wendong smiled and extended his hand, ”Hand over the money!”

Liu Jiushan weakly produced two fist-sized, crystalline stones that exuded immortal energy.

From a distance, they looked like chunks of ice emitting a cold aura.

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

As they all recognized this object.

It was Immortal Stone,

rich with immortal energy.

Each Immortal Stone was equivalent to ten million top-grade spirit stones.

Liu Jiushan feebly said, ”These are two Immortal Stones, worth twenty million top-grade spirit stones.”

With a thought, Xu Wendong held the two Immortal Stones in his palm, feeling heavy and especially smooth.

He put away the two Immortal Stones and then tossed a Poison-Avoiding Pill to Liu Jiushan.

Liu Jiushan excitedly caught it and immediately swallowed it.

In an instant,

a warm force slowly spread in his abdomen, and he could clearly feel the pain in his body gradually disappearing.

Although the physical pain was decreasing, the anger in Liu Jiushan’s heart only grew stronger.

He had never been as humiliated in his life as he was today.

This was undoubtedly the most humiliating day of his life,

and the cause of it all was a cultivator in the Mahayana Realm.

”Xu Wendong, if I don’t cut you to pieces, it won’t ease the hatred in my heart!”

”Just wait, when we return to Bi Quan Ling Island, I will flay you alive, showing you the consequences of opposing me!”

Liu Jiushan raged internally.

------

The world was silent.

On the deck, only a few weak breaths could be heard.

Along with Xu Wendong, thirteen honored contributors from the three great families sat there quietly, cross-legged, sensing the movements of the sea around them.

But,

inwardly, they were all eyeing Xu Wendong for the same reason.

It was because of the two Immortal Stones he possessed.

These two Immortal Stones represented astronomical wealth for everyone present.

If Xu Wendong were a true powerhouse, they wouldn’t dare entertain any ideas, but with only a Great Ascension Phase Cultivation Level, he was not worth mentioning in their eyes.

However,

they still had other tasks and couldn’t afford to deal with Xu Wendong just yet.

Soon, it turned to midnight.

Liu Jiushan’s injuries had completely healed, and his cultivation level was restored to its peak. He glanced at Xu Wendong, showing undisguised killing intent.

Xu Wendong felt the killing intent emanating from Liu Jiushan and slowly opened his eyes, flashing a hint of disdain.

In fact, when he acted against Liu Jiushan, he had already considered the consequences.

However,

being targeted by Liu Jiushan, so what?

”Xu Wendong, you should know your situation, right?” Zhao Yunfeng’s voice suddenly echoed in Xu Wendong’s mind, ”Liu Jiushan is a vengeful person, and when we return to Bi Quan Ling Island, he’ll definitely not let it go.”

”If you want to survive, you have only one choice: pledge yourself to me.”

”However, you must hand over those two Immortal Stones to me.”

”Think about it carefully. You can give me an answer before we dock.”

His greed for the two Immortal Stones was undisguised.

Just as Zhao Yunfeng ended the soul communication, a hoarse voice spoke in Xu Wendong’s mind, ”Friend Xu, you’ve offended Liu Jiushan today, and he surely won’t let it rest.”

”However, I admire your style of action. In you, I see my younger self, and I’m willing to protect your life, only taking one of the two Immortal Stones.”

Xu Wendong looked at the old man in the gray Daoist robe, full of wrinkles, with smiling eyes.

His name was Ge Huan.

A Xiao Family Offering, with the strength of a Second-Level Loose Immortal.

But just then,

a wailing sound of ghosts came from the dark toxic mist.

The sound was very weak,

but in everyone’s ears, it was piercing.

Instantly,

everyone turned to the direction of the sound, their eyes burning with a fiery gaze. They knew the Blood Skull Pirate Group had appeared.

This wailing sound was the unique sound of the Blood Skull Pirate Group.

There was a huge skull on the bow of their ship, and as the ship moved, the airflow entered the skull, producing this eerie sound.

”They are here!” Zhao Yunfeng was full of excitement, a silver spear appearing in his hand, its shaft glistening silvery, exuding a powerful oppressive feeling.

Clearly, it was a top-quality spiritual instrument.

Xu Cangxue also produced a dark red longsword, with ancient runes etched into its blade. The sword instantaneously caused the temperature to soar.

Everyone else summoned their weapons, grasping them tightly, ready to face the threat.

The atmosphere,

became much heavier at this moment. The honored contributors of the three great families were on full alert, while the crew members on the merchant ship took refuge inside, expecting the worst.

”When the Blood Skull Pirate Group shows up, hide behind me, and I will ensure your safety!” Xu Cangxue’s gentle voice resonated in Xu Wendong’s mind.

She didn’t want anything to happen to Xu Wendong.

After all,

she still intended to follow Xu Wendong to thoroughly learn the alchemy technique.

”Alright!” Xu Wendong smiled knowingly. Although these people seemed extremely tense, he was internally very calm.

After all,

this would be his third encounter with the Blood Skull Pirate Group. As they say, never a third time; this time, whatever happens, they all must be stopped.

Time slowly passed.

The eerie cries grew closer, like a fierce ghost howling beside his ear.

As the pirate ship of the Blood Skull Pirate Group emerged from the dark toxic mist ahead, Zhao Yunfeng’s eyes sharpened, saying, ”Make your move!”
