Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 311: 311

As the ship arrived next to the blood ship, it stopped, and the passengers could see a bunch of dangerous-looking people on the other ship were looking menacingly at them, greed flashing in their eyes .

They had seen that their own ship was incapable of catching up with this blood ship, was it not for the fact that they had a great expert on board their ship to fuel it with Qi .

Xue Wei was tentative as his eyes swept over the experts on the opposite deck . There were a lot of experts, but their strength was all equal to his, they were all a wide variety of Earth, Sky, Heavenly Knights .

None of the people present were capable of fueling the ship as they had seen so although he was not too worried about these experts, he could not let his heart relax, as he knew the real owner of the boat was not to be taken lightly .

They did not board their ship as the entire delegation had expected, but they gathered on the deck and observed them, all of them clearly restless as their eyes scanned the people aboard the ship .

It was as if they were looking for something or someone, but they had not explained who it was, neither did they know seem familiar to any of the people aboard the blood ship .

Suddenly the other ship trembled, and a magnificent person appeared from below the deck .

Looking at him, Xue Wei instantly had one word popping into his mind: Demon .

This man had grey skin, pointed ears, two long horns on top of his head, cat-like pupils, fangs, claws and tiger paws, and legs .

This was a race different from any other race Xue Wei had encountered so far, and the only name that would fit him would be a demon . Although Xue Wei was aware that he too was a descendant of the different unions between man and beast, he felt that this was a mutation that had changed drastically throughout the thousands of years that had passed .

When Xue Wei came across this man, he felt as if he was looking at a big black hole . There was simply no way to measure his strength, no way to determine how strong he actually was .

When he appeared, the greed that flashed in the eyes of the rest of the experts quickly vanished and they all respectfully made a path for him to walk through towards their blood ship .

Xue Wei noticed that this demon was looking at one person only . He was staring at the King, and the King was also frowning as she looked back at him . It seemed that she had recognized him .

At first, Xue Wei was worried that there was hostility between the two, however, after seeing how the demon was smiling brilliantly, and the frown on the King’s face was more of a confused frown than a hostile one, he quickly relaxed his taut muscles .

A small smile flitted across his lips, and he leaned back against the mast . It was at this time the demon looked at him, their eyes clashed, and the demon instantly guessed his thoughts .

Xue Wei did nothing to hide his thoughts, and then he called out, "Relax and make space for him, he is here to visit an old friend . "

Hearing Xue Wei’s words, the sailors and two delegations suddenly felt much safer . They somehow wholly trusted in his words after experiencing the drama back at the Berserkers’ island .

Since they trusted him, all of them suddenly relaxed and retreated; they allowed the demon to jump across from one ship to another casually .

He went straight to the King, stood in front of her, two heads taller than her, and looked down upon her .

"I wonder if you could predict that we would meet again," he said with a slight happy smile on his lips, and the King who had been frowning before had a helpless expression on her face as she shook her head .

"Let us go to the side to talk," she said feeling slightly uncomfortable with everyone staring at her, especially the dangerous-looking experts on the other ship were staring at her as if they had seen the most wondrous scene .

Xue Wei had a good guess as to why . This man was a demon, it was evident that he would not be a friendly person, but right now, he was overly happy and gentle towards a woman .

Xue Wei did not know about their past together, but it was clear they knew each other somehow, and he slowly went back to cultivating .

After they had spoken together for some time, the King walked to the middle of the deck, the demon casually following behind her, towering above her as a gentle giant, protecting her and sheltering her from everything that might be dangerous .

"This is Tao Wu," she introduced . "He is known as the Fierce Demon, and he is a pirate leader here in the Sea of the Enchanted . "

She paused for a bit, wondering how to continue . "I met him some years ago when he was injured and helped to nurse him back to health, so he feels obliged to assist us as well . "

She looked around, but no one pointed fingers or made fun of her, so she quickly continued, "He has offered to take us to the closest island with a busy port town, a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons lives . "

When hearing that there was another port, the crew was slightly nervous, but the King quickly soothed their worried nerves, "although this place is dangerous, as it is the home for all pirates in the Sea of the Enchanted, it is also a good place to find treasures and stock up on necessities . "

"Also, as long as you are cautious, you should be fine . Never walk around alone, and make sure not to trust strangers . But I am sure you already understood this point . "

Everyone still hesitated, and eventually, they looked at Xue Wei . Xue Wei was obviously above the delegation from the Demon Phoenix Continent because of his bloodline being as noble as it was, and he was also the savior of Yan Dalu, so they too would listen to his words . He had saved the sailors on the last island, so they too felt no remorse about leaving it in his hands .

"Let’s go," was his answer; he was not against going to this place . He was quite curious as to what wonders they might have . He even hoped to be able to get his hands on a formula for two-colored Rainbow Pills .

Although his alchemy was not at the point where he would be able to make two-colored Rainbow Pills easily, if he had the formula, he would be able to find the ingredients, and then he should be ready to begin practicing on it after a few more months .

It was hard to get one’s hands on these formulas, but guessing that there were a whole lot of treasures in the port city that they mentioned, he could not see anywhere else with more potential for having the formula .

As he had made a decision, the others naturally accepted it, and the smile on Tao Wu’s face grew increasingly brilliant . It was clear that the King had no opinion and just followed what the others decided upon .

She seemed casual, but Xue Wei was quite confident that this was a facade she hid behind .

He had not forgotten her words from when they were in Yan Dalu, where she had said that her dream was to become a pirate . This had already been a somewhat surprising wish, but now that he saw Tao Wu, it suddenly made sense .

Not only was she eager to live the life of a pirate, the free and unfettered life on the sea, she also had someone who mattered to her, someone who had likely been the one to tell her about the experience as a pirate .

As to what their relationship was like, Xue Wei did not want to interfere, but it was apparent that this powerful person mattered to the King .

"Men set sail towards Treasure City!" Tao Wu yelled out, his voice so domineering that it was impossible to ignore .

"You can follow my ship towards Treasure City, that place is a haven for those who know how to do a deal, but it is also a nightmare for anyone too weak . I suggest all of you be a minimum of Earth Knight rank to enter; the rest ought to stay on the ship .

"Although the city is chaotic, there are specific rules . Stealing a ship is something you can never do, no matter how wonderful the ship is, stealing it is impossible, or you will be chased down by the entire pirate fleet in the Sea of the Enchanted .

"Also, as long as you are aboard your ship, you are safe . No one will bother you, and no one can board a ship to cause problems for you . in the city itself it is entirely different though, and murder is seen rather often .

"There is one auction house but plenty of shops that specialize in buying stolen goods and selling it off to those in need .

"There is a red light district for those of you who cannot handle the long voyages on the sea, which caters to both men and women .

"As a matter of fact, there is everything you might need, although these things come at a cost . Some things cost essence stones; others cost gold and silver . "

Hearing how Tao Wu described Treasure City, many were eager to experience it for themselves . However, a small number of experts were still too influenced by the encounter on the Berserker’s island and thus they were relieved when they heard that the ship was a haven, a place where no one could touch them .

The sailors were much more eager now than they had been before, and they hurried to make their ship follow behind the one belonging to Tao Wu, running towards the Treasure City that he had introduced to them .

Tao Wu looked at all the sailors and saw their excitement and a twinkle appeared in his eyes, as he turned towards Xue Wei .

"Don’t you feel worried that I will trick you?" he asked with a slight smile on his lips .

"If you do, I will help you count the money," Xue Wei answered casually as he continued to cultivate .

"You seem quite confident that I am not tricking you," Tao Wu continued, quite eager to know how Xue Wei was so observant .

"It’s simple," Xue Wei said, "You clearly have some affection towards the King, and want to travel with her . If you just suggest it, she will decline you, but now we have a purpose, so it is fine . At the same time, you are much stronger than any of us here . If you truly had malicious thoughts, then there would be nothing we could do about it, so following your suggestions would be our only option . "

Tao Wu was surprised that he had understood that much, and he suddenly laughed as he sat down next to him, his eyes never once leaving the King’s side .

"You remind me of a friend of mine," Tao Wu suddenly said, "his name is Lan . He is also annoyingly observant, but he is so in an annoying way, making you want to hit him in the face . Unfortunately, I am not his match, but I’ve given it a few tries . "

"Oh, you know Lan?" Xue Wei did not doubt that it was the same Lan as he knew . How many annoying Lans existed in the world?

Hearing that Xue Wei knew Lan, Tao Wu gave him another glance, wondering why this youngster could know such an esteemed person, but seeing that he also had an opinion about him, he decided that it was much better to start trash-talking him than to figure out why a youngster like him could know this esteemed expert .
