"Right, right, right!"
Wei Su nodded repeatedly.
"Junior Brother Tian Kong, you're right, we shouldn't chase after the Dragon Rider Merchant Guild. Just scare them away!"
Under these circumstances, Yun Tian Kong was clearly at the end of his rope, he could collapse at any moment. What was the point of pursuing them? It would be good enough to scare the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" away!
Wei Su looked at Yun Tian Kong's weak and battered appearance, his "seven orifices bleeding," and felt a pang of heartache. He then asked worriedly,
"Junior Brother Tian Kong, are you alright?"
Yun Tian Kong shook his head weakly.
"Senior Brother Wei Su, don't worry, I'm fine! I can still barely maintain the prestige of the First Kill Dragon Slaying. Once the Dragon Rider Merchant Guild is completely scared off, you'll be safe!"
He was so touched!
Wei Su was moved to tears!
Junior Brother Tian Kong was so injured, yet he was still wholeheartedly concerned for Wei Su's safety. It was truly moving.
Wei Su felt a stinging in his nose, he was almost moved to tears.
"Junior Brother Tian Kong, your injuries are too severe, don't push yourself. Quickly dispel the prestige of the First Kill Dragon Slaying!"
Given Yun Tian Kong's current condition, the longer he maintained the prestige of the "First Kill Dragon Slaying," the more severe his injuries would become.
Yun Tian Kong gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination, and he said in a deep voice.
"No, for Senior Brother Wei Su's safety, I cannot give up. I must persevere, I can still persevere..."
Pfft, pfft, pfft!
Before Yun Tian Kong could finish speaking.
Several "blood arrows" spurted out.
Blood gushed from Yun Tian Kong's ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, a shocking sight!
Seeing this, Wei Su's heart nearly broke.
"Junior Brother Tian Kong, Junior Brother Tian Kong..."
He hugged Yun Tian Kong and "wept bitterly."
His tears and snot all flowed onto Yun Tian Kong.
Yun Tian Kong was so disgusted he almost cried out.
Hey, hey, hey, cry if you must, but can you not wipe your snot on me? It's disgusting!
However, in the end, Yun Tian Kong's powerful "acting skills" allowed him to endure the disgust and not "break character."
"Old Black, is it really necessary to go this far? Seven orifices bleeding... isn't that too exaggerated?"
Yun Tian Kong questioned the "Lean Black Demon Soul" in his heart.
"Lean Black Demon Soul" rolled its eyes and said irritably.
"Little Old Six, what do you know? You have to bleed from all seven orifices to show the tragic grandeur of your character... Look at Wei Su, he's moved to tears..."
"Yes, he's indeed moved to tears, and his snot is all over me, it's so disgusting!"
"Little Old Six, don't dwell on the details! Also, rest assured, I have a very good grasp of my actions. Don't look at how terrifying you look with blood from your seven orifices now, it won't cause any harm to your physical body. After it's over, you'll still be jumping around, perfectly fine!"
...
Upon hearing the "Lean Black Demon Soul's" assurance, Yun Tian Kong felt relieved and continued to focus on his "performance."
Yun Tian Kong gritted his teeth, displaying the tragic determination of "gritting his teeth and persevering." He "persisted bitterly" for a while. When he was sure the "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" had gone far, he "relaxed his mind" and collapsed, falling into a "coma."
As Yun Tian Kong fell into a "coma," the "Lean Black Demon Soul" retracted the prestige of the "First Kill Dragon Slaying" completely.
The "performance" was over!
Wei Su embraced the "unconscious" Yun Tian Kong.
"Junior Brother Tian Kong, Junior Brother Tian Kong..."
He shouted Yun Tian Kong's name as he struggled, trying to take Yun Tian Kong back to the "Dark Sword Sect."
Unfortunately, his injuries were also severe, making it impossible to cross the vast "Endless Outer Sea."
Finally, Wei Su, carrying the "unconscious" Yun Tian Kong, returned to the deck of the "Sea Crossing Spirit Boat."
Wei Su looked around and found that apart from the "Sea Crossing Spirit Boat" where he and Yun Tian Kong were, there were densely packed "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats" all around.
The "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild," in their hasty escape, had only taken away a dozen or so "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats," leaving behind nearly three hundred.
These "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats" were filled with all sorts of goods.
The "Dragon Rider Merchant Guild" had only taken the spirit stones, leaving all the various goods behind.
Not only that, but the "Merchant Cultivators" imprisoned in the various "ship cabins" were also left behind.
The value of these "Merchant Cultivators" even surpassed the goods on the "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats."
After all, the majority of these "Merchant Cultivators" were high-ranking managers of various merchant guilds. Their cultivation might not be high, but each of them was "wealthy."
For example, "Elder Hua" owned a vast "Spring and Autumn Merchant Guild."
Now that "Elder Hua" had been captured, a simple ransom letter sent to the "Spring and Autumn Merchant Guild" headquarters could extort at least "ten million low-grade spirit stones."
The wealth of the others, while not comparable to "Elder Hua," could still fetch "several million spirit stones."
Accumulating from small amounts!
With so many "Merchant Cultivators," if handled properly, they could profit at least two to three billion.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
What a colossal fortune!
Even the "Dark Sword Sect," with its vast wealth, could not resist the temptation of this "huge sum"!
And Wei Su and Yun Tian Kong, having achieved such great merit, would naturally receive the "greatest rewards" and the "appreciation of the Dark Sword Sect's higher-ups."
But at this moment, "Young Master Yin Sword" Wei Su didn't care about any of that.
He only wanted to contact the "Dark Sword Sect" as soon as possible and have them send experts to treat Yun Tian Kong.
"Junior Brother Tian Kong, hold on. I'll contact the Dark Sword Sect right now and have them send experts to treat you!"
Wei Su pulled off the necklace around his neck and crushed it fiercely.
Whoosh!
A "black demonic light" soared into the sky and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
This was a "rescue artifact" specially made by the "Dark Sword Sect" for Wei Su.
This artifact was not easy to refine, and only a young master like "Young Master Yin Sword" Wei Su, with his profound family background and deep resources, was qualified to possess it.
Previously, "Young Master Yin Sword" Wei Su had not had the opportunity to use it. Now, for Yun Tian Kong, he activated this treasure without hesitation...
Soon, the "Dark Sword Sect" received Wei Su's "rescue message."
The higher-ups of the "Dark Sword Sect" took it very seriously, dispatching over a hundred "Nascent Soul Elders," and even one "Divinity Transformation Ancestor" came in person.
The group moved in a grand procession and, in just half a day, found Wei Su and Yun Tian Kong.
The scene before them startled all of them.
Holy cow!
This is too exaggerated!
More than two hundred and eighty "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats," piled high with goods, floated quietly on the sea.
This, this is a fortune!
