Chapter 90 A Triumphant Return
About two hours after the Mo Jiao departed, a figure broke through the sky from the direction of Yun Rui Island.
It was already broad daylight, and from a distance, the Zhou family's boat could be seen drifting alone on the sea.
Tu Chishe landed on the deck, which was riddled with holes and littered with the corpses of Zhou family cultivators. Looking at the horrific scene of looting before him, Tu Chishe's face darkened.
"Damn it!"
He cursed under his breath and took out a token from his storage bag.
He was rushing towards Jinwu Island when he suddenly received a distress message from the Zhou family's cargo ship, realizing that he had been lured away from his post.
Although they immediately changed direction and flew at full speed, it took them nearly two hours to arrive.
The Gong family had already fled, and not only that, even the spiritual herbs and medicines on the ship had been taken away!
"With so much cargo on board, the Gong family's spirit ship can't be going fast; there's still a chance to catch it!"
Realizing this, the Red Serpent immediately chose a direction and flew off.
However, after another half an hour, he flew over with a helpless expression.
That Gong family's spirit ship was probably specially modified; it was extremely fast. He traveled hundreds of miles in one breath without seeing a trace of it.
Of course, it's also possible that he went in the wrong direction. After all, on this vast and boundless sea, who can be sure which direction the Gong family's spirit ship will go?
"The Zhou family must already know about the loss of nearly 50,000 spirit stones worth of goods..."
Tu Chishe felt a surge of frustration, even considering whether he should simply leave the Zhou family to avoid being held responsible later.
But for the same reason, he is still recovering from his injuries and can not exert even half of his original strength. If he loses the protection of the Zhou family, his fate is predictable!
However, at that moment, Tu Chishe's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly took out another communication talisman that was flashing with spiritual light from his storage bag.
This talisman was specifically used to contact the Zhou family on Bizhu Island. Its sudden lighting up now must be a message from the Zhou family patriarch.
"Who cares? If the Zhou family insists on holding me responsible, I'll just leave immediately!"
Tu Chishe, who was thinking of "what's the use of trying" in desperation, was surprised when his expression stiffened slightly after examining the information transmitted by the jade talisman.
Upon learning of the change in the sect, he immediately returned to Bizhu Island to discuss how to deal with the Gong family.
"Hiss... What could have happened to the Qiling Sect? Could it be that the Golden Core ancestor has run out of lifespan?"
Tu Chishe was somewhat puzzled, but it was no secret in the nearby sea area that the Golden Core Ancestor of the Qiling Sect had been nearing the end of his lifespan in recent years.
This is why the Zhou family dared to frequently attack the Gong family before. However, perhaps their actions last time were too drastic, which angered the Qiling Sect, leading them to send a Brown Pill Elder to severely punish the two families.
"But regardless, if something really happens to Ancestor Lingyu, we can use this opportunity to take revenge on the Gong family and find that kid who can use Flame Fiend!"
Thinking of this, Tu Chishe immediately took out a pill from his storage bag and put it in his mouth. After his true qi had recovered to a certain extent, he immediately got up and flew towards the direction of Zhou Family's Bizhu Island.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at sea.
The Ink Dragon traveled across the sea at an extremely fast speed. Although the water control formation had to stop and wait for the core of the formation to cool down after traveling about a thousand miles, it could still be forcibly activated using spirit stones.
However, that would be extremely wasteful of spirit stones, with each water control array requiring at least fifty spirit stones, and it would also cause excessive damage to the array. But we are currently escaping for our lives, so we can't worry about that now.
Inside the top cabin, Chen Ye calculated the travel distance and then immediately used the array plate to manipulate the spirit ship to change direction.
Regardless of whether the Red Serpent will chase after us, we still need to take necessary evasive measures to avoid making a mistake that could ruin all our previous efforts.
After finishing all this, Chen Ye went to the cabin. After a quick inventory, the spoils of this raid had been tallied.
Including the four thousand spirit herbs and the spoils obtained from the Zhou family cultivators, the total value is around seventy thousand spirit stones!
Seventy thousand spirit stones—even if all the demon-hunting ships of the Gong family were mobilized and spent half a year hunting demons, they might not be able to earn that many spirit stones.
Including the four Zhou family demon-hunting ships that were previously looted, the total should be around 120,000 spirit stones, not including Chen Ye's own spoils.
It should be noted that Chen Ye and Gong Lingxuan's original agreement was to split the profits 50/50, but the condition was that Chen Ye would pay the Gong family no less than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones within a year!
Now, just over three months later, Chen Ye has already doubled his task completion rate. Even if he only gets 50%, that's still 60,000 low-grade spirit stones!
This wealth is almost comparable to that of some small spiritual cultivation forces!
"Fortune favors the bold," Chen Ye thought to himself, looking at the various cultivation resources piled up in the cabin.
However, with so many resources at our disposal, there's no need to go overseas anytime soon. We should focus on improving our own capabilities...
.........
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Gong family, Golden Willow Island.
As mountains of supplies were unloaded from the Mo Jiao, the entire dock erupted in cheers.
It should be noted that the Gong family and the Zhou family have been openly and covertly fighting in this sea area for a long time, but basically the Gong family has always been at a slight disadvantage.
After all, the Zhou family, as an old and established family with hidden treasures, far surpasses the Gong family in terms of both family heritage and the number of hidden treasure experts.
Like the incident on Qingjue Island a few years ago, although it was one of the few times the Gong family gained an advantage, it didn't bring much benefit to the family.
Now, Chen Ye's demon-catching ship has brought the Gong family a profit of 60,000 spirit stones. How could the Gong family not be excited?
On the hillside not far from the dock, Chen Ye had already noticed the beautiful figure waiting there, so as soon as the Mo Jiao docked, he took the initiative to come over.
"Chen Ye, I originally thought you would be at sea for at least half a year, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."
Gong Yuechan looked at Chen Ye with an unusual gleam in her beautiful eyes.
She already knew what had happened to Chen Ye aboard the Ink Dragon during those three months through the Gong family members on board.
After successively plundering four of the Zhou family's demon-hunting ships, he then ventured alone into Yunrui Island, which had been forcibly occupied by the Zhou family, forcing Tu Chishe to return to provide assistance. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he seized a time gap and plundered the Zhou family's cargo ship, which was worth 70,000 spirit stones and herbs.
Each and every incident sounds easy to talk about, but the real danger was something that Gong Yuechan could almost feel, even though she wasn't on the Mo Jiao.
"He risked so much danger, could it all be for the Gong family...?" Looking at Chen Ye who walked straight up to her, Gong Yuechan bit her lip, her mind filled with wild thoughts.
