My word is law!
Unmatched dominance!
This line, Wei Suo had been brewing for a long time.
Ever since they set sail to plunder, he had wanted to find an opportunity to utter this incredibly cool line.
But he never got the chance!
Before, the people they encountered were either "merchant convoys" from other "Demonic Sects" or "pirate groups."
Those scoundrels were brutal and wouldn't talk about rules or anything of the sort; they attacked on sight!
This had left "Young Master Yin Jian" Wei Suo utterly frustrated!
Now, he had finally found the chance to deliver that incredibly cool line.
The feeling was like an unstoppable torrent, so satisfying!
Incredibly satisfying!
Wei Suo’s back straightened even further!
My word is law!
Supremacy above all, absolute dominion!
I ask you, isn't that awesome!
Awesome, so awesome!
The group of "Merchant Guild Managers" were thoroughly intimidated by Wei Suo's overbearing presence.
How could they dare to waste any more words?
Forget it, hand over all the valuables. Money can be earned again, but life, once lost, is gone forever.
With this thought, the "Merchant Guild Managers" nodded subserviently and agreed.
"Alright, alright, alright, we'll do as you say, fellow Daoist. We'll pack everything up and send all the valuables over to you immediately!"
With that, the "Merchant Guild Managers" bowed their heads and retreated, looking dejected.
Watching them grovel, Wei Suo felt fantastic. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the world, feeling incredibly awesome!
In this moment of triumph, Wei Suo didn't forget to glance askance at Yun Tiankong.
See? This is what it means to be a man of power!
Hai Wei should choose a man like me, a man who exudes such overwhelming power!
You, step aside!
Yun Tiankong was speechless.
"Female Sea King" or whatever, I'm not interested at all. Please, just take her away quickly...
Yun Tiankong really didn't want to deal with Wei Suo. He looked down at the "United Merchant Fleet" below with concern.
Alas, these people are too naive!
Did they really think that handing over all their valuables would make Wei Suo let them go?
Alas, they underestimated Wei Suo's cruelty and malice!
Wei Suo was inherently cruel and vicious, and he loved to torment others.
Even if these "Merchant Guild Managers" handed over all their valuables, Wei Suo wouldn't spare them.
Wei Suo would confiscate all three hundred-plus "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats." And what about the people on board? They could swim for it!
The "Boundless Outer Sea" was vast and boundless, teeming with countless sea beasts. Without the protection of the "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats," low-level cultivators would become snacks for the beasts in an instant.
Even Golden Core cultivators could "fly on their swords," but it would be useless.
"Flying on swords" consumed true essence. It was fine for short distances, but it couldn't sustain long flights.
Furthermore, the "Boundless Outer Sea" had a special environment. The "Gale Winds" on the sea surface were incredibly fierce, consuming a lot of true essence during sword flight.
A Golden Core cultivator who could normally fly a thousand miles could only fly about a hundred miles on the surface of the "Boundless Outer Sea."
Therefore, once the "Sea Crossing Spirit Boats" were plundered and taken away, the cultivators in the "fleet" were doomed.
Yun Tianping felt a deep sense of worry for their fate.
...
The group of "Merchant Guild Managers" were unaware of this. They only wanted to "pay to avert disaster."
Since Wei Suo wanted all the valuables, so be it!
Under the organization of these "Merchant Guild Managers," soon, valuables were being moved from one "Sea Crossing Spirit Boat" to another, ready to be handed over.
Some "small merchant guilds" disagreed.
Without these valuables, they wouldn't even have the capital to survive.
But, disagreement was futile!
Now, they were all in the same boat. If they didn't hand over all their valuables, they would drag everyone down!
Hand it over!
It must be handed over!
It must all be handed over!
Even though the "Merchant Guild Managers" were timid and cowardly in front of Wei Suo, they showed a completely different face when dealing with other "small merchant guilds."
Arrogant and bossy!
A burly man with a hideous scar running from his eyebrow across his entire face to the corner of his mouth, like a ferocious earthworm clinging to his face, making him look incredibly terrifying!
The Scarred Manager, who had knelt the fastest when facing Wei Suo, was the first to agree to hand over all the valuables.
No backbone, no dignity!
But now, he "perked up" again!
I may not dare to argue with a "Demonic Sword Cultivator," but I still dare to bully a "small merchant guild" like you!
The Scarred Manager stared with wide eyes, his gaze filled with ferocity. The scar on his face seemed to come alive, writhing hideously.
He said in a harsh tone:
"Liu Lao Liu, today, all your valuables must be handed over, whether you want to or not!"
The middle-aged man called "Liu Lao Liu" clutched his two storage bags tightly. Beside him were two "young guards" who hadn't yet lost their youthful innocence.
Alright, the two "young guards" beside "Liu Lao Liu" were less like guards and more like "half-grown kids."
These two boys were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and their cultivation was only at the "Qi Refining realm."
At this moment, they nervously held their "small knife spirit artifacts," looking at the Scarred Manager with apprehension and fear.
The Scarred Manager himself was a "Golden Core cultivator," so he didn't pay any attention to these two "half-grown kids."
He glared, his killing intent erupting, and he stepped forward menacingly.
"Liu Lao Liu, I'll ask you one last time, are you going to hand it over or not!"
The two "half-grown kids" were intimidated by the Scarred Manager's fierce and tyrannical aura, like a "fierce tiger," and shivered uncontrollably.
With every step the Scarred Manager forced forward, they trembled and cowered back.
As for "Liu Lao Liu," he was filled with grief and indignation, and cried out:
"No, I won't hand it over!"
"Are you looking for death!"
The Scarred Manager was about to lash out.
"If you don't accept the toast, you'll have to eat the penalty, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Scarred Manager spoke while preparing to make a move.
This "farce" attracted the attention of many people around.
"What's going on here?"
"Liu Hao is being too overbearing!"
"Exactly, we small merchant guilds also have our rights!"
...
Everyone pointed and murmured.
Many "small merchant guilds" felt empathy for Liu Lao Liu and began to accuse the Scarred Manager of being too domineering.
The "United Merchant Fleet" had no hierarchical structure; they were just gathered together for "shipping." On what grounds was the Scarred Manager bullying people?
Facing the "surging crowd," a white-haired manager quickly stepped forward.
He stopped the Scarred Manager with a look.
"Liu Hao, don't be rash. Let's talk this out properly!"
Upon hearing the white-haired manager speak, the Scarred Manager didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only take two steps back, temporarily giving up his pressure on "Liu Lao Liu." He grumbled in a low voice:
"Elder Hua, you are highly respected, and we all admire you the most. You tell us, how should Liu Lao Liu's matter be handled?"
