Chapter 1646 (Raw 1628): Mysterious Mission


Elder Tang pondered for a moment, then took some more time to consider before looking at Xiao Chen and saying, "I need to go back and think about it for a while. These things cannot be figured out in a day or two."


Xiao Chen could not help thinking to himself, Sly old fox.


"You can withdraw first, then. Let me know immediately if you figure out anything. You do not have the Scarlet Blood War Banner, so you will not be able to open the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure trove. Also, your life is not in your hands."


Xiao Chen let the other party withdraw, but he did not forget to take a stab at him, reminding the other party not to play tricks.


Elder Tang's heart sank. The scarlet mark in the depths of his soul was his greatest worry. The feeling of being controlled by another was awful. His only consolation was that Xiao Chen was considerably respectful to him.


At least, Xiao Chen did not humiliate Elder Tang. Xiao Chen was also polite to him and had even given him Life Juice Source.


"Don't worry. If I figure out anything, I will definitely tell Young Master."


Xiao Chen nodded and said, "You know that I always keep my word. The Life Juice Source that I gave you is of the highest quality and a significant quantity. If you can find the inheritance treasure trove of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King, you will definitely benefit greatly from it."


"Yes."


Elder Tang indicated that he understood. Then, he performed a cupped-fist salute and withdrew.


Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he watched Elder Tang leave. This person was really difficult to control.


Elder Tang was much stronger than Xiao Chen and was also a Rank 3 sect Elder, a proud person. Keeping him close required courage and wisdom.


However, Xiao Chen believed that he could control the other party.


He thought for a while before going to the control room to meet with Xiao Suo and the others.


"Greetings, Captain!"


The crew in the control room greeted Xiao Chen respectfully. He now held supreme prestige on this ship. Every crewmember respected him from the bottom of their heart.


The moment Xiao Chen saw Xiao Suo, his eyes lit up. "Congratulations on breaking through."


During the period he had not seen Xiao Suo, the latter had actually broken through to the early-stage Major Primal Core Realm.


Xiao Suo's face shone with happiness. "Hehe! It is all thanks to Captain's Life Juice Source and a moment of enlightenment. I just happened to have an opportunity."


It turned out that there was a moment of enlightenment. No wonder Xiao Suo broke through so quickly. Logically speaking, even with the golden Life Juice Source, it was still rather rare to break through this fast.


Luo Nan and Fei`er were both in closed-door cultivation. If they were lucky, they should break into the Primal Core Realm after coming out.


At that time, Xiao Chen would be the one lagging behind.


Now that Xiao Suo's strength had increased significantly, he felt very confident and wanted to test Xiao Chen.


Xiao Suo brought out a strong aura and pressed it toward Xiao Chen.


However, the startling thing for Xiao Suo was that his aura actually silently merged with Xiao Chen's surroundings.


Xiao Suo narrowed his eyes and saw that Xiao Chen's aura seemed to be one with the surroundings. His own aura was also assimilated into the surroundings by Xiao Chen's aura.


It turns out that…although Captain's cultivation has not reached the Primal Core Realm yet, he already comprehended being one with heaven, something only Primal Core cultivators can comprehend, long ago. His comprehension of being one with heaven is even deeper than that of ordinary Major Primal Core Venerates, Xiao Suo thought to himself.


That was to say, Xiao Chen's true strength was already equal to early-stage Major Primal Core Venerates.


Knowing that Xiao Suo was testing his strength, Xiao Chen remained calm and did not break Xiao Suo's move.


"Buzz!"


Just at this moment, the Captain Token at Xiao Chen's waist suddenly flickered with a faint light. Then, it flew into the air, hovering there.


Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Suo, wondering what was going on.


Xiao Suo withdrew his smile, showing a grave expression. He said in a low voice, "There is a 5-Star pirate ship issuing a mission through the Pirate Alliance."


When Xiao Chen still appeared confused, Xiao Suo explained, "The higher the grade of one's Captain Token, the more authority one has. Based on what I know, the 5-Star Captain Token can directly communicate with the Pirate Alliance and issue missions. Then, they can get the Pirate Alliance to inform all the nearby pirate groups with the Captain Token.


"To be able to use such a forceful method to spread the information over a large area, the reward of the mission will definitely be extraordinary. However, Captain, if you are not willing, you can ignore it."


Xiao Chen revealed an expression of understanding. Then, he reached out and gently tapped the hovering Captain Token.


"Poof!"


A small human figure appeared on the Captain Token. Then, it said, "Five-Star pirate group Savage Blood issues a large-scale scouting mission. The nearby pirate ships can freely choose to participate or not. The difficulty of mission: 5 Stars. Mission requirement: no limitation. The mission risk will be borne by yourselves. The Pirate Alliance only guarantees the authenticity of the mission."


Right after finishing, the illusionary figure disappeared. However, the Captain Token still hovered in the air.


"Captain, send in your Mental Energy, and you can choose whether to accept or not."


Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "There is no rush. What do you think?"


This was the first time Xiao Chen experienced this, so he was rather cautious about it and did not immediately make a decision.


Xiao Suo said, "A 5-Star pirate ship can be said to be very strong. The captain would be at least a peak Major Primal Core cultivator. It would even be possible for the captain to be a Cloud Sea Star Venerate. A mission that they consider difficult will definitely not be simple."


The Cloud Sea Realm consisted of three stages. Those in the Starry Sky Stage were known as Star Venerates. Those in the Holy Light Stage were known as Holy Venerates. Those in the Sovereign Stage were known as Sovereign Personages.


Those with the strength of a Star Venerate were already extremely powerful people. Calling them horrifying was no exaggeration.


Xiao Chen nodded, encouraging Xiao Suo to continue speaking.


"I feel that we can go and try our luck. After all, our Black Cutlass is a peak 4-Star pirate ship. Even if there is any danger, we can pull ourselves out in time." Xiao Suo gave his opinion. His eyes twinkled; his daredevil character was innate.


"I feel that we can as well."


Some of the experienced crewmembers in the control room also expressed their views.


However, the final decision still lay with Xiao Chen.


"Let's take a look, then."


Xiao Chen sent a strand of his Spiritual Sense into the Captain Token to convey his acceptance of the mission. At the same time, the distant Pirate Alliance recorded this information. With the corresponding Captain Token, it would be easy to find out Xiao Chen's information.


------


Three days later:


The Black Cutlass rushed towards the sea region that the 5-Star pirate ship indicated. They suddenly discovered ten-old small pirate ships quickly flying towards them.


Xiao Chen checked them out with his senses and discovered that it was a fleet with hundreds of peak Yang Essence cultivators as well as numerous half-step Primal Core cultivators and Primal Core Venerates.


The ten-old pirate ships surrounded the Black Cutlass and closed in on it.


"Captain, what should we do? They don't seem to be friendly."


"They have almost surrounded us."


"Observe the situation and adapt."


Facing so many people of unknown origins, Xiao Chen told his crew not to be rash. Then, he took the lead and walked out of the ship's hold.


"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"


Ten people flew over from the small ships, all of them Primal Core cultivators, three of which were Major Primal Core cultivators. The leader was a peak Major Primal Core cultivator.


Xiao Chen's heart sank. A peak Major Primal Core cultivator was even stronger than Elder Tang.


Xiao Chen could not help feeling fortunate that he had not acted rashly. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.


The peak Major Primal Core black-clad man asked with a cold expression, "Who are you?"


The black-clad man gave off a dense baleful aura that inspired fear when he got closer, causing others to take an involuntary step back.


Captain, this person is definitely a pirate. He might be a member of the Savage Blood Pirate Group. Xiao Suo's voice appeared in Xiao Chen's mind.


Without needing Xiao Suo's warning, Xiao Chen had come to the same conclusion, so he took out his Captain Token and handed it over.


"You are a pirate group as well?" The black-clad man revealed a mocking smile. That reaction was inevitable. The exterior of the Black Cutlass looked too ordinary.


However, after Xiao Chen proved his identity, the black-clad man's attitude improved significantly. Withdrawing the baleful aura that he gave off, he patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and laughed, "Haha! Little fellow, your courage is commendable. Even though you command such a lousy ship, you dare to accept the mission of my Savage Blood Pirate Group. Men! Bring them to the mission area; treat them well."


After that, the black-clad man guffawed and turned around. "Time to go. Let's continue to receive the others."


After the shock, the Black Cutlass's crewmembers all released their bated breath. The peak Major Primal Core Venerate's pressure was simply too strong.


At such a close distance, they nearly could not breathe.


At the same time, the crew was curious, wondering what mission could prompt the Savage Blood Pirate Group to put in so much effort.


Even the reception committee was so huge.
