Wang Wu was cautious the whole way, looking back at Li Mo from time to time, afraid he'd change his mind.
At dusk, Wang Wu stopped the carriage.
"B-uncle, we're almost in the vast Star Ocean.
You'll see it after we cross this mountain. Do you think … I can go back now? "
Wang Wu was trembling as he spoke to Li Mo in the carriage.
"We're here?"
Li Mo got off the carriage and stretched his legs.
Looking at the surroundings, there was indeed a salty and fishy smell in the air.
"Great!
Since we're here, I'll send you home! "
"Ah!
B-uncle, didn't you say you'd let me go as long as I took you there?
You can't do this! "
Wang Wu's face turned green at Li Mo's words.
His legs trembled as he recalled the big man's fate.
"I did say that, but I'm going back on my word!"
Li Mo's face showed a hint of amusement. Ever since this guy harbored ill intentions against him, Li Mo had no intention of letting him go.
If such a person was allowed to continue living, who knew how many more people would die in his hands in the future. He only had himself to blame for this!
"Uncle, this is your money. I don't want it. Please spare my life!
Let me go! I have parents and children to take care of.
I … "
Pff …
Before Wang Wu could finish speaking, he felt a burning sensation coming from his body.
A pure gold longsword had already pierced through his heart.
"You should keep the money and slowly spend it on the road!
Remember, be a good person in your next life! "
Li Mo pulled out the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword.
King Wu's eyes widened as he watched his body turn to ash bit by bit!
…
Li Mo flew to the top of the mountain in front of him!
The scene before him shook him to the core.
The Star Ocean stretched as far as the eye could see and the waves were towering.
Li Mo's heart pounded!
"How can I find that island in this vast sea of stars?"
Li Mo took out the tome and looked at the words Imperial Mausoleum written on it with a sad face!
"I need to ask around. Who knows how long it'll take to find it if I just blindly search!"
With his mind set, Li Mo went down the mountain.
There were often cultivators who went out to sea to hunt demonic beasts. Perhaps he could get some information from them!
It had to be said that Li Mo's luck was out of this world.
His powerful Spiritual Sense discovered that more than a dozen people were rushing in his direction.
In a flash, they were before Li Mo.
Li Mo wasn't worried. From the way they dressed, they weren't the pirates Wang Wu spoke of.
Moreover, these people's strength was very average. The strongest among them was only a beginner general.
"Little brother, did you come here to hunt demonic beasts by yourself?"
The strongest middle-aged man said to Li Mo.
"Oh!
Big Brother, I'm here to hunt demon beasts. "
Li Mo's reply was very polite.
"Aiya!
Little brother, you really have guts.
You actually dared to come to this vast sea of stars alone. If you encounter those pirates, you'll be at a disadvantage.
How about this, since you're also here to hunt demonic beasts, why don't you join us?
We'll split the loot equally! "
The middle-aged man's blunt words left a good impression on Li Mo.
"Thank you, big brother!"
"No need to be so polite.
Shouldn't we all help each other when we're outside?
I am Wng Lei, a native of Heavenly Ocean town. I make a living by hunting demonic beasts.
These people are also here with me to hunt demonic beasts! "
"I am Li Mo!"
Since the other party gave him his name and treated him with sincerity.
Li Mo didn't hide anything!
"Good!
We have another brother in our team. When we go out to sea, we must work together! "
"Relax, Old Wang, we've been together for so many years.
We've never made a mistake. Let's see our luck today. Maybe we'll run into a hundred year old demon beast and we'll be rich! "
A red-faced man in the crowd said as he poured a mouthful of wine from a gourd into his mouth.
"Ha-ha … Liu Xiong, thank you for your kind words. Let's go!
Let's go! "
After saying that, Wng Lei led everyone towards the vast sea of stars.
Li Mo was at the very back of the group, sizing them up.
Apart from Wng Lei and Liu Xiong, the others were dressed like him. They weren't locals, but a temporary group.
But a skinny, shifty-eyed old man caught Li Mo's attention.
Moreover, this old man seemed to be avoiding his gaze.
"Brothers, let's board!"
With a shout, Liu Lei led the group to the docked ship. The ship was thirty meters long and didn't feel cramped with more than a dozen people.
Everyone got into position under Liu Lei's arrangement, and then headed toward the vast sea of stars with turbulent waves!
Wng Lei took good care of Li Mo, arranging for him to stay by his side. Li Mo was touched by his actions.
But Li Mo's attention was always on the skinny old man. He didn't know why, but Li Mo felt a sense of familiarity from him, just that he couldn't put his finger on it!
Just as the ship was about to reach the designated demon beast hunting area, a black dot on the sea's surface grew bigger and bigger, heading straight for Li Mo's group!
"Shit!
Pirates! Be careful!
These people are devils who kill without batting an eyelid! "
The seasoned Liu Xiong yelled.
He held his gourd of wine in his hand. This must be his magic weapon.
When the others heard the shout, they also became nervous and took out their own magic treasures.
"Don't panic. Listen to my command!"
Wng Lei rushed to the bow and looked at the black dot that was getting closer and closer.
He and Liu Xiong spent most of their time on the sea, and encountering pirates was a common occurrence.
But they didn't expect to run into these ferocious bastards as soon as they set sail. What bad luck.
A moment later, the pirate ship closed in on Li Mo's ship.
It was an even bigger black ship, with an eye-catching skull flag on its mast.
A group of men in black wielding all sorts of magic weapons stood at the bow, eyeing them like tigers watching their prey.
"Ha-ha … bro, look at this nest of fat sheep!
We didn't come here for nothing! "
"Hehe, listen up, people on the opposite ship. You'd better hand over all your valuables.
Then jump into the sea and save us the trouble! "
"Ha-ha …"
A burst of arrogant laughter came from the pirate ship.
"Brothers, those who are Martial Masters and above, follow me in front.
Prepare for battle! "
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wng Lei decisively made arrangements and called all the slightly stronger cultivators to his side.
"Ho!
Motherf * cker, do you still want to resist?
You're just a guy with the strength of a martial general, yet you dare to challenge our Black Dragon Pirate Crew with a bunch of trash?
Damn it, you don't know what's good for you. "
The pirate ship's captain glared at Liu Lei and spoke without a care in the world.
With a wave of his hand, a few strong men with the strength of military generals walked out from the crowd behind him.
"We're done for!
They're too strong.
I say we run! "
On Li Mo's ship, the skinny old man cried out and retreated to the back of the ship.
Originally, when everyone faced these tyrannical pirates, their hearts were abnormally fearful.
With his shout, the morale of the army was immediately thrown into chaos. Some of them even jumped into the sea and swam towards the shore with all their might!
"Don't panic. As long as we stick together, we will beat them!"
