The Charm of Soul Pets - Chapter 1282

Chapter 1282: Each With Ulterior Motives

Zhuo Xiong summoned his feathered demon and shot straight into the black clouds towards Dark Island .  

Zhuo Xiong’s feathered demon was a middle class dominator and had recently been strengthened from a xuan item plundered from the city they slaughtered . The feeling of a middle class dominator rank soul pet was completely different . Even if he wasn’t a pirate and lived in a realm city, he could still be a tyrant .  

However, for Zhuo Xiong, a middle class dominator rank soul pet was not enough for the things he wanted . In order to increase his strength faster and to obtain more wealth, being a pirate was the best method .  

Even if Dark Island was being covered by the dark clouds, Zhuo Xiong was extremely familiar with the path . In the middle of a huge group of clouds, he swooped down and an island only about 20 kilometers in perimeter suddenly appeared in the black sea .  

The mountains of the island were undulating . The island looked no different from a deserted island, but on the inside of the mountain was hidden a small stronghold . The top of this small city was covered by black clouds and it was impossible to discover this small stronghold even after flying over top .  

The small stronghold was home to egregious pirates that had terrorized all Crown Ocean ships for a generation! These pirates were all criminals and over half of them were wanted on Wupan Continent! 

Zhuo Xiong passed through the mist and through the soul pet trainers defending the skies . He landed right at the center-most building .  

“Leader Zhuo!” 

When the pirates defending the front of the hall saw Zhuo Xiong land, they all saluted him very respectfully .  

“I just tricked a few women to come here from Crown City . That girl from Ocean Sect which you said you wanted…” laughed a pirate to Zhuo Xiong .  

Zhuo Xiong waved his hand and said: “I’m not interested right now . I have something I need to speak with big leader with . ” 

“Ai, what are you in a rush for . That girl is waiting for you right now . It’s not like the navy is coming . ” said the pirate .  

“If you say another word, I’ll cut your head off!” fiercely said Zhuo Xiong .  

When the pirate saw that Zhuo Xiong was serious, his smile instantly froze . He didn’t dare say anything else .  

Zhuo Xiong passed through the front hall . The system the pirates used was to a certain extent copied from the navy . Although they were a bunch of fish and dragons mixed together, fundamentally, they were very disciplined .  

In the great hall, Zhuo Xiong instantly saw Big Leader Zhuo Qing sitting there . He was currently discussing with a few other pirate chieftains the next city to target, as well as what they would do if they had to evade the navy’s pursuit .  

“Big Leader, there’s a group of luxurious ships in the nearby ocean region . ” Zhuo Xiong walked up and said .  

Big Leader Zhuo Qing faintly creased his brows . He didn’t like people rudely barging in and speaking nonsense .  

“What luxurious ships?” coldly asked ZHuo Qing .  

“They’re boats from New Moon Land . All of their boats are dominator ranks and each boat is worth at least 500 xuan . Just in terms of the boats alone, they’re worth a total of 15 thousand xuan . They also probably have a large amount of resources that they just purchased from Crown City . The waterline of their boats is extremely deep . ” said Zhuo Xiong .  

“Boats worth 15 thousand xuan!” the eyes of the surrounding chieftains and leaders lit up .  

This was definitely huge business for them . If they were able to gobble them all up, they could just flee right after plundering . Even if the navy came to chase them, it wasn’t guaranteed they would be able to catch up . Indeed, these were dominator rank ships which were rather fast! 

“What kind of people are on it?” Zhuo Qing’s expression was still calm .  

“They are all New Moon Land crew members . They probably have a bit of strength, but we should be able to take them down . ” said Zhuo Xiong .  

“Does anyone have any information on New Moon Land? Give me the specific details . ” Big Leader Zhuo Qing swept his eyes over the 13 chieftains sitting in the great hall .  

“Big Leader, New Moon Land is a great place . ” At this point, a pirate chieftain called Old Zhong slowly spoke up .  

All of the pirate chieftains looked at him . Most of the pirates obtained their information from this Old Zhong .  

“Didn’t I suggest before that we could go to the other side of Dark Ocean?” Chieftain Old Zhong spoke slowly . He would always pause after speaking a sentence .  

“A few years ago New Moon Land was only a third rank realm . The path there was dangerous and the resources were limited . However, in the recent few years, New Moon Land was able to become independent from Jia Border and subsequently, multiple rich independent spaces with resources have appeared there . The very first soul pets that entered this independent area obtained enormous benefits . Currently, New Moon Land possesses an extremely rich piece of land . Mere description does not do it justice . ” 

“Continue . ” Zhuo Qing quickly grew interested .  

“Many people say that it is a land of gold because they are surrounded on all four sides by forbidden regions . The resources in these forbidden regions are quite ample . As long as one’s strength is enough, any soul pet trainer can obtain resources there . Added on those rich independent spaces… . ” 

“How strong are they?” asked BIg Leader Zhuo Qing .  

As larger and organized pirates, they wouldn’t go and gnaw at any piece of meat . They had to ensure they could eat it . They would refuse to do anything which would cause them heavy losses .  

“They’re very average . Truly very average . Besides a few of their leaders who are very strong, their composite strength is very weak because the people there are from an inferior species . They have extremely few dominators . The status of spirit emperors is very high there . However, they are rapidly developing and it probably won’t be long before they get strong . Indeed, the strength of their leaders cannot be underestimated . With them leading the way…” the pirate called Old Zhong obtained rather comprehensive information .

“Zhuo Xiong, around how many people do they have?” asked Big Leader Zhuo Qing .

“Each boat has around 100 people . So around 3000 in total . I’m unable to ascertain for the time being how strong they are . However, even Old Zhong said that it was originally a third rank realm . Even if it’s developing fast, they can’t be that strong . In my opinion, what they have now is a lot of money!” Zhuo Xiong impassionedly said .  

Their mere boats were 15 thousand xuan . This was a significant amount of wealth .  

Big Leader Zhuo Qing creased his brows . He thought for a while and hesitated, but he glanced at Old Zhong and said: “Since it’s an independent land, I think that if we were to completely take over New Moon Land…” 

When Zhuo Qing said this, Zhuo Xiong was stunned . He silently said to himself that it was no wonder the leader was the leader . Leader thought of things much further than he himself did .  

Indeed, given that New Moon Land was flowing with riches and had such low strength, why didn’t they just take over the place? Nobody was willing to stay a pirate for the rest of their lives . If they could obtain such a huge territory, they could be as tyrannical and abusive as those big realm lords! 

“Big Leader, I would suggest that you don’t think about that . ” Old Zhong shook his head .  

“Why? The other chieftains didn’t understand .  

“Ya, why can’t we? Our current strength is no inferior to an eighth rank realm . There’s also Big Leader Zhuo, a peak dominator rank expert . Why can’t we take over a tiny New Moon Land?” asked another young chieftain .  

Pirate Chieftain Old Zhong bitterly laughed and explained: “First, New Moon Land has been independent for only a few years . Within the ten years, they are still under the protection of Divine Sect . Would you rather us provoke Wupan Navy or Divine Sect?” 

“Second, I heard that there was a person watching over New Moon Land . This person is called Cloud Gate’s old man . Nobody knows his actual name but the rumors have it that he is a Border Lord rank expert . ” 

Pirate Old Zhong’s words caused the pirate chieftains to suck in a breath of air .  

A Border Lord expert!! 

What exactly was a Border Lord? 

A mere Border Lord was able to annihilate their entire pirate group until not even their dregs were left .  

In the past when their Dark Ocean Pirates had encountered an annihilation calamity, it was because they had offended a Border Lord rank expert who nearly destroyed their entire crew . In fact, the Dark Ocean Pirates of then were much stronger than now .  

“Why is there such a huge figure there?” Big Leader Zhuo Qing creased his brows .  

“This subordinate doesn’t know . At the end of the day, we really can’t offend that old man . Also, there are a few leaders of New Moon Land who are extremely strong, especially their king . He alone in the independence fight was able to deal with three border commander rank experts by himself . ” said Old Zhong .  

“What’s his name?” asked the big leader .  

“Chu Mu . He is called King Chu in New Moon Land . After he defeated three lower status Border Commanders, he said something very arrogant . ” responded Pirate Old Zhong .  

“What did he say?” everyone immediately asked .  

“It’s rumored he said this: ‘New Moon Land is Chu Mu’s territory . Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter this territory . This includes Cloud Realm’s Realm Lord, border territory lord, or Divine Sect High Official… you will be put to death!” said Old Zhong .  

Everyone immediately looked at each other . Even they, this crew of wild pirates, didn’t dare say these kinds of words .  

“Realm Lord, border territory lord, Divine Sect High Official… . This fellow is quite arrogant . He merely defeated three lower status Border Commanders, yet dares say this . He truly doesn’t know how high the heavens are . ” Big Leader Zhuo Qing sneered and a flicker of contempt flashed through his eyes .  

“That’s right . Big Leader Zhuo, if you summon only one of your main pets, you’ll be able to easily defeat everything he has!!” Old Zhong smartly complimented Zhuo Qing .  

“Even if he’s onboard, we’ll kill them all!” 

Zhuo Xiong also vigorously nodded his head . His uncle, Zhuo Qing, used to be a high official in the navy and was an upper status ocean commander . A lower status commander with one or two high class dominator rank soul pets was on a completely different level than him .

“Since we can’t take over their territory, we’ll just eat up their boats . Such a huge piece of meat has floated over here . Why would we not want it?!” said a pirate chieftain .  

“That’s right! With those 30 dominator rank ships, when attacking cities, we’ll come and go even faster . Perhaps even the navy won’t even be able to see our figure fleet past . ” said a female pirate chieftain .
