Moreover, they never expected that the Poison Dragon Pirate Gang would completely disregard honor and launch a direct attack on them.
What exactly happened?
There wasn’t a great enmity between the two sides; it wasn’t to the point of a bloodbath over interests. Yet, the pirates from Poison Dragon Island seemed utterly insane, completely unreasonable.
"Damn it..."
Black Dog Bo Beida felt like he couldn’t explain himself, his frustration boiling over, filling his chest with anger that he couldn’t help but shout out loudly.
However, before he could speak, an overwhelming force weighed down on him like dark clouds pressing in, like Mount Tai crushing him. The endless pressure directly swallowed his furious words back into his stomach.
"What expert is toying with the young ones!"
In an instant, a lightning bolt flashed through Black Dog Bo Beida’s mind, clearing up some puzzling questions he had before.
No wonder Kui Ma and the others attacked them so vigorously, acting like madmen. It now appeared they came prepared, with backing, to dare act so boldly, completely disregarding the rules.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have rushed here so hastily.
But who in this vast Sea Realm suddenly decided to meddle in pirate affairs?
There aren’t many who have the qualifications to do such a thing.
Could it be that some change has occurred among the Eighteen Great Pirates?
While the members of the Black Dog Pirate Gang were apprehensive.
"Salute the Master!"
The pirates from Poison Dragon Island sensed Zheng Yi’s presence, the Celestial Demon Seed operating in their minds, and immediately, like fervent believers, under the leadership of their three leaders, all stepped back from battle and bowed their heads in reverence.
Black Dog Bo Beida struggled to lift his head, his face showing considerable unease, yet he saw a tall and imposing figure descend from the sky before him.
"Lord, I..."
An invisible pressure weighed heavily on him. Black Dog Bo Beida seemed to want to struggle a bit, but before he could respond, Zheng Yi, expressionless and uninterested in wasting words, directly threw several black spheres, which merged into the minds of several individuals.
At this level, especially with the Heaven-Cutting Vine organizing his Magical Power Divine Techniques rudimentarily, plus the Divine-Demon Body Refining with Azure Heaven Dominating Blood being successful, Zheng Yi was essentially no different from a Core Formation Cultivator.
Even more than just an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator.
Below Core Formation, all are ants.
To him, they were nothing more than Celestial Demon Army enslaved by the Celestial Demon Relic.
He couldn’t be bothered to waste emotion and words.
Black Dog Bo Beida struggled momentarily, and then the Celestial Demon Seed took root and sprouted in his mind, transforming him directly into the most loyal Celestial Demon Slave.
...
A moment later, the two pirate gangs returned to their respective ships and retreated to their bases.
In terms of power, the Poison Dragon Pirate Gang was certainly more formidable than the Black Dog Pirate Gang, but the gap between the two was not overly pronounced.
Soon after Black Dog Bo Beida himself returned to the base, he directly led a fleet to deliver half of the resources plundered by the entire Black Dog Pirate Gang over the years to Poison Dragon Island.
The fleet then left the place.
Zheng Yi explored the resources, selecting some necessary ones, and stored the remaining resources to exchange for various needed Spirit Essence resources.
Unbeknownst to anyone, within this Sea Realm, Zheng Yi had already gained control over two of the One Hundred and Eight Paths Pirate Gangs, establishing an initial foundation of power here.
Of course, just two were far from satisfying Zheng Yi’s ambitions, as the resources they could gather were merely enough to support one-tenth of the needs for the Heaven-Cutting Vine to cultivate the Seven Treasures Marvelous Tree. He required more forces to contribute towards his condensation of the Ninth Grade Golden Core.
However, this recent act by Kui Ma of the Poison Dragon Pirate Gang, attacking the Red Demon Ao, left Zheng Yi rather pleased. He immediately ordered him to continue provoking the surrounding pirate gangs, aiming to draw out their higher-ups and subdue and control them with the Celestial Demon Seed.
Such actions rendered Zheng Yi’s operations extremely clandestine, making it difficult for outsiders to detect the changes.
Unpredictably, the forces Zheng Yi controlled continued to expand; although the surface seemed to show only typical pirate skirmishes, with perhaps a bit more intensity, in reality, an invisible hand was already unifying these forces under one banner.
In about half a year, the number of pirate gangs under Zheng Yi’s control reached around five, with countless smaller pirate gangs under them.
One could say that the control range of pirate gangs under Zheng Yi’s command had reached a considerable size.
Simultaneously, Zheng Yi also began infiltrating the high-ranking members of merchant fleets, particularly focusing on the Four Seas Alliance’s Thirty-Six Islands.
In contrast to these predatory pirate gangs, the Four Seas Alliance truly possessed unimaginable resources as an overseas cultivation faction. The trade routes it opened were enough to make Zheng Yi envious.
However, priorities were set, and within the Thirty-Six Islands of the Four Seas Alliance, each island represented a notably powerful force, with at least thirty-six Core Formation Cultivators.
This was the greatest strength of the Four Seas Alliance!
Thus, Zheng Yi extended his means directly into the core of the Four Seas Alliance, progressing gradually, starting to annex power steps at a time, using captured high-ranking members of merchant fleets as a foothold, slowly expanding upwards.
After all, the Celestial Demon Relic can control numerous Celestial Demon Slaves.
This technique is also known as the Ten Thousand Slaves Celestial Demon Possession Technique.
