"It seems you don't know after all!"

A look of disappointment flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes as he raised his hand and waved lightly.

Swish!

A white light shot out from Jiang Chen's hand, fiercely slashing toward the octopus.

"What are you trying to do? You..." The octopus's face changed, yelling out in panic.

Chhk!

The sound of a sharp blade piercing through echoed as the white light entered the octopus's forehead and shot out from its feet.

Plop!

The octopus's body split in two and toppled to either side.

"Ah!"

Black Tiger and the others cried out in shock, their bodies trembling with fear.

Jiang Chen's sudden and unprovoked killing instilled a seed of terror in their hearts!

They originally thought that Jiang Chen and his group didn't kill them to recruit their forces. After forming this idea, they felt emboldened, but now, the octopus's death overturned their thoughts, leaving them with no confidence at all!

"I don't want to waste words with you. Whoever can tell me the base of the three major pirate groups will be the one to live. If no one speaks up, then you all die, along with those hundreds of people standing over there!"

Jiang Chen glanced coldly at Black Tiger and the others, speaking expressionlessly.

Black Tiger and his men shivered as one, with two of them showing hesitant expressions in their eyes.

"Captain, just tell them!"

"Yeah, Captain, tell them, or we'll all die!"

"Captain!"

"Captain, speak up quickly!"

A crowd of pirates began to panic, yelling loudly.

"I can tell you, but I have a condition!" Black Tiger gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice.

"You are not in a position to negotiate with me. Do you think Swift Wind Wolf and the others don't know where the three major pirate groups are?" Jiang Chen looked at Black Tiger with cold eyes.

Black Tiger's expression changed, quickly saying, "They don't know. The Blood Whale Pirate Gang and the Thunder Lion Pirate Gang have already stationed in the Storm Pirate Group's base. Only a few people know where the Storm Pirate Group's base is!"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, just about to speak, when his brow suddenly furrowed, turning his head to say softly, "Elder You, keep an eye on him, don't expose yourself."

Swish!

You Xuan's figure flashed, disappearing from his spot.

Just then, a subtle soul force probed near Jiang Chen and his group, causing Jiang Chen's spiritual energy to ripple slightly.

"These people are useless, Swift Wind Wolf, handle them!" Jiang Chen glanced at Black Tiger and turned to look at Swift Wind Wolf.

"Yes!" Swift Wind Wolf's eyes flashed with a cold light, replying in a deep voice.

Black Tiger's face changed, yelling in panic, "You can't kill me! If you want to find the three major pirate groups, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you'll never find them!"

"Do you think someone at the Innate Grandmaster realm knows more, or do Saint Realm experts at the initial stage know more? A bunch of people being used as pawns, what right do you have to negotiate with me here? If I'm not mistaken, that Saint Realm expert was probably here to check your results, right? Do you think they'd deploy a Saint Realm expert to check on your performance, what's your purpose here then?"

Jiang Chen looked at Black Tiger with disdain and turned to walk toward the villa.

Black Tiger's face turned deathly pale, realizing they might really just be scapegoats, and frantically shouted, "I'll talk! I'll talk, don't kill me, I'll talk!"

Jiang Chen ignored Black Tiger completely, continuing to walk toward the villa but gave a signal to Shen Xiangtian.

Shen Xiangtian understood and stopped.

The villa's lobby.

"Mr. Jiang, that person earlier was..." Xi'er asked softly.

"A Gene Warrior! I didn't expect Gene Organization's Gene Warriors to reach the Saint Realm now!" Jiang Chen said with a worried expression.

Xi'er froze slightly, frowning gently, "So, Mr. Jiang, you weren't bluffing them, they really were just a group of pawns?"

"We must have killed Fire Xiuluo and them, causing the three major organizations to be suspicious and using this group to attack the Swift Wind Pirate Group to test what kind of power is here! To see if we have set our sights on the sea!"

Jiang Chen's eyes turned, grasping the connection.

"If that's the case, we've already startled them out of hiding!" Xi'er's eyes revealed a trace of worry.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, frowning gently, "Immediately inform Mr. Fa Rang and Elder Wu to bring the people over, and once Elder You returns, we'll head off directly!"

"Okay!"

"Yes!"

Xi'er and Xuan Long responded, taking out their phones to make calls.

Bang, bang, bang!

After a while, a knocking sound came.

"Come in!"

Jiang Chen called out.

Crunch!

The villa door opened, and Shen Xiangtian, Swift Wind Wolf, and Badger Dog came in.

"Chief Instructor, that Black Tiger didn't know the location of the Storm Pirate Group's base at all. He was just bluffing us, but all three major pirate groups are indeed gathered at the Storm Pirate Group's base," Shen Xiangtian explained softly after sitting down.

Jiang Chen nodded, saying heavily, "It's all up to Elder You next!"

No one spoke again as they quietly waited, and they waited until midnight!

Crunch!

In the middle of the night, the villa door was pushed open from the outside.

Everyone turned their heads to see You Xuan coming in from outside.

"Elder You, how did it go?" Jiang Chen asked with concern.

You Xuan nodded lightly, speaking with slight excitement, "I found them, their nest is a hundred nautical miles to the northeast."

"A hundred nautical miles? So close to us?!" Jiang Chen was momentarily surprised.

You Xuan nodded, "Yes, it's that close. That guy took me on a random detour around several big circles before returning there. I observed for a while, but their location is covered by a large array, making it impossible to probe the situation inside. I could only subtly sense a powerful force that is periodically increasing!"

"A powerful force that is periodically increasing?"

Jiang Chen frowned, speaking with some confusion, "What kind of power increases periodically? Is someone continuously breaking through?"

"No! It doesn't feel like a breakthrough aura. That power increases level by level, not continuously breaking through. It's more like absorbing energy to enhance strength repeatedly, but..."

You Xuan shook his head, "That power is very strong, giving me a sense of danger. Although I couldn't probe in detail, I am certain it's at the level of Saint Realm Peak. I can't think of anything that would allow someone of that realm to continuously absorb such power!"

"Not a breakthrough, but similar to continuous strength enhancement, and it's a Saint Realm Peak expert enhancing their power, this..." Jiang Chen frowned deeply, a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

Jiang Chen had numerous ancient medicinal techniques in his dream memory, in which there were indeed elixirs that could enhance the power of Saint Realm Peak experts in a short time.

But that would have reached the level of Heavenly Level elixirs!

Jiang Chen couldn't believe anyone in this era could refine Heavenly Level elixirs, but what were those energies then?
