Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

```

"Brothers, kill him for me!"

"This kid is just at the Dharma Phase Realm Peak, as long as we kill him, then take the opportunity to eliminate Yue Shanchuan before he detoxifies, we can regain our freedom!"

It must be said that Du Long, the former second-in-command, still has quite the means.

In this period...

Indeed, there were also some people who grew fond of following Yue Shanchuan to challenge the strong ones on various islands, leaving behind the peaceful life of looting and home raiding, but these people often mysteriously disappeared, or were bizarrely killed in conflict with the island residents in the next island.

It was all Du Long manipulating behind the scenes.

Right now, these people are all determined to follow him, becoming pirates who are extremely fierce and vicious.

Xiao Yi sighed lightly, "As expected of the Chaotic Seas, there's no reasoning here at all—it's all about killing at the slightest disagreement! But..." Xiao Yi's blood-red tongue licked his lips, revealing a barely noticeable cold smirk, "I like it!"

Boom!

Sword light burst forth from his body.

The battle with Xu Changsheng made him realize that beyond the fifth stage, Sword Intent had an even higher realm.

He had been searching for that realm.

During this time...

Xiao Yi had also touched upon a vague threshold; to truly step into this realm, he needed to fight, fight continually!

Punch a hundred times and its meaning will reveal itself.

Slaughter thousands with a sword, and Sword Intent will form on its own!

The sword is the supreme among weapons.

It is the weapon of slaughter.

To reach the peak in the path of the sword, there is only one word—kill!

Swish, swish, swish!

The sword light was incredibly dazzling, like a peacock spreading its feathers, with countless sword lights sweeping across. One after another, strong men were beheaded or sliced in half, lying in pools of their own blood.

His current combat strength, even against an ordinary Nine Nirvanas Rebirth Realm powerhouse, was nothing to take seriously.

The strongest among these pirates was only Du Long of the Third Nirvana Realm; how could he be a match?

Just moments later...

The deck was drenched in fresh blood, leaving only Du Long facing Xiao Yi in utter despair, "No, no, no... Don't kill me, Lord Xiao, I beg you to spare my life..."

"Begging for mercy now is too late!"

Xiao Yi flicked his finger, and a sword light pierced through Du Long's head.

Six ships, nearly two thousand men, all killed.

Not one left alive.

Xiao Yi felt he was one step closer to that threshold. He cleared a spot on the deck to sit cross-legged, silently reciting, "If the heart is as Ice Heart, it will not be perturbed even if the sky falls..."

The Ice Heart Skill circulated thirty-six heavenly cycles, calming the killing intent in his heart.

This was something Xiao Yi had to do after every killing.

He didn't want to become a heartless killer who only knew slaughter.

That was his bottom line...

Never to kill the innocent!

Creak!

The cabin door opened slowly, and at the same time Xiao Yi opened his eyes, only to see Yue Shanchuan walking out from the cabin.

He glanced at the bodies scattered all around, his eyebrows slightly raised, but he didn't say much, bowing to Xiao Yi, "Xiao, thank you for your help. If it hadn't been for you, I probably wouldn't have known how I died..."

Gallbladder Snakeheart Grass is colorless and tasteless, and it must be administered continuously for forty-nine days to bring a person to the brink of death.

The poisoned person only realizes they've been poisoned at the moment of death.

```

Had it not been for the brocade box Xiao Yi gave him, containing an antidote and a note, he would have had no idea that he had been poisoned.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Yue, you're being too polite. You helped me increase my Sword Intent Realm, and I helped you remove the poison from your body. We're even now. No need to keep thanking each other in the future..."

"Hahaha, you're right!"

Yue Shanchuan nodded in agreement, finding Xiao Yi quite to his liking, and then forcefully kicked the corpse of Du Long that lay beside them.

Into the sea it went.

At this moment...

The scent of blood had already attracted many Sea Beasts, yet they hadn't attacked due to the formidable presence of Xiao Yi and his companion. Now, as the bodies of Du Long and the others fell into the sea, it was like feeding time in a pond full of fish.

The beasts swarmed up, devouring the corpses of Du Long and the others.

Yue Shanchuan said, "Xiao, this ship stinks. Let's change to a cleaner one."

The two immediately switched to a clean vessel.

While navigating the new ship, Yue Shanchuan asked, "Xiao, what brings you to the Chaotic Sea Zone?"

"I want to go to Greenfish Island, but I don't know the way!"

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, showing a hint of helplessness.

Yue Shanchuan whooped and said, "So you're headed to Greenfish Island. That island is certainly not close! Moreover, that place is located at the border of the territories of Three Blade Mountain and Luan Yue Valley, two of the four major Pirate groups of the Chaotic Sea Zone. If you enter rashly and get caught by them, at best you'll be sent to mine, and at worst, it's a one-way ticket to death!"

"The four major Pirate groups?"

Xiao Yi was surprised.

His knowledge of the Chaotic Sea Zone was limited.

"The four major Pirate groups are the Shark Pirate Group under the command of the Sha Family, the Bai Fa Pirate Group led by the Bai Fa Sword Emperor, and the recently encountered Luan Yue Valley and Three Blade Mountain. Among them, the Bai Fa Sword Emperor's Bai Fa Pirate Group is the most powerful. However, with the Sha Family backing the Shark Pirate Group, even the Bai Fa Sword Emperor does not wish to provoke them..."

When mentioning the Bai Fa Sword Emperor, Yue Shanchuan's face showed a hint of fervor, "But the most troublesome are Three Blade Mountain and Luan Yue Valley; unlike the Sha Family or Bai Fa, who still select their targets, these two attack indiscriminately, even robbing lone children..."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Isn't that too shameless?

To think that the Pirate groups, one of the four major powers in the Chaotic Sea Zone, would even stoop to robbing children?

Yue Shanchuan sighed, and then added, "Out of all these people, the one I admire the most is the Bai Fa Sword Emperor. Like me, he is a solitary figure, constantly challenging strong individuals on various islands. Along the way, he encountered those who were oppressed and took them under his wing one by one, eventually forming the powerful Bai Fa Pirate Group. He's even ranked third on the most wanted list of the Chaotic Sea Zone, with a bounty of fifty-six billion Maritime Crystals!"

Hiss!

Xiao Yi couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

He had heard of Maritime Crystals and the bounty list of the Chaotic Sea Zone.

This currency used throughout the Chaotic Sea Zone was backed by the four major clans - Sha, Huang, Li, Hai - ensuring its value.

The worth of a single Maritime Crystal was roughly equivalent to a thousand taels of Silver.

Meaning...

This Bai Fa Sword Emperor, his bounty was a whopping fifty-six trillion taels of Silver!

Curious, Xiao Yi asked, "Then who are the second and first on the bounty list? And how much are their bounties worth?"

He was very curious.

If someone as revered by Yue Shanchuan as the Sword Emperor was only ranked third, who then occupied the first and second places?

Yue Shanchuan chuckled and said, "The second on the bounty list is not a person, but a place called Star Pavilion, the ruins of an ancient sect. Anyone who provides the location of Star Pavilion and proves its authenticity will be rewarded eighty-seven billion Maritime Crystals by the four clans."

Eighty-seven billion, that's eighty-seven trillion taels of Silver.

Xiao Yi didn't expect the clue to Star Pavilion's whereabouts to be so valuable.

Even he had a fleeting thought of trading the map of Star Pavilion for money. Of course, it was just a fleeting thought. He then focused on Yue Shanchuan, wondering what could be ranked first even above the whereabouts of Star Pavilion.

What or who could it be?

Yue Shanchuan took a deep breath, his face showing a mix of excitement and awe as he said, "The first on the bounty list is someone whose exact identity no one knows. They have been missing for nearly a thousand years. Known in Jianghu as the Evil God Su Wuxie, the bounty value is – a hundred billion Maritime Crystals!"
