Chapter Thirteen: Chang Xin’s Plan

Chang Xin, Yue Donglin, Kong Mofei, Long Fengyue, Shi Kaishan, and Li Nanfeng immediately returned to their respective pirate groups and ordered their leaders to search for the whereabouts of the Tianfeng Pirate Group.

A day passed.

Chang Xin arrived in a certain area in the sky and looked around, spotting an island covered in a faint gray mist—clearly the lingering evil energy from a recent battle. As he got closer, his spiritual senses allowed him to sense what was on the island, and he soon located Qing Wu Gui.

Whoosh!

As soon as he spotted Qing Wu Gui, Chang Xin flew away immediately. At the same time, he confirmed that the Tianfeng Pirate Group was part of Qu Yi’s forces, and it was likely that Qu Yi himself was on this island.

Back then, in front of the exit to the Ruiny Realm Divine World, Qing Wu Gui and Wu Yuan had worked with Qu Yi to prevent Chang Xin from escaping. Therefore, Chang Xin was well aware of the relationship between Qu Yi and Qing Wu Gui, which helped him deduce Qu Yi’s connection to the Tianfeng Pirate Group.

“Qu Yi, since you’ve come to the inner seas this time, don’t even think about escaping. In the Immortal Realm, you could use that teleportation artifact to get away at will, but can you still use it here in the Divine Realm? There are many powerful beings here—I doubt you’d dare use that artifact in front of them. Otherwise, you’ll become the target of all the cultivators in the Divine Realm.”

Chang Xin stopped in mid-air, a cold smile on his lips, speaking as if relieved.

Originally, Chang Xin had planned to take control of the Immortal, Demon, and Monster realms over the long term and even bring the entire Ruiny Realm Divine World under his rule. But Qu Yi’s appearance ruined all his efforts. His hatred for Qu Yi ran deep in his soul.

After saying that, Chang Xin immediately took out a communication card and sent his location.

Yue Donglin, Kong Mofei, Long Fengyue, Shi Kaishan, and Li Nanfeng received the message and quickly brought their respective pirate groups to Chang Xin’s side.

“Chang Xin, you’re lucky—found them so quickly!” Yue Donglin exclaimed happily as he arrived.

Yue Donglin had a close relationship with Chang Xin and was quite enthusiastic.

Chang Xin nodded. Seeing that all six pirate group members had arrived, he smiled, his aura changing to one that exuded a sense of commanding the world.

“Everyone, I’ve located the Tianfeng Pirate Gang. They have six warriors at the Divine General level, along with over 500 members at the Divine Being level, all gathered on an island. Now, let’s head to that island together, blockade its skies, and wipe out the Tianfeng Pirate Gang in one fell swoop,” Chang Xin said firmly.
Such operations generally followed this approach—confronting the enemy head-on and suppressing them with superior strength.
Thus, no one objected to Chang Xin’s plan, which was immediately approved by the other five faction leaders.
Although the Tianfeng Pirate Gang had six Divine General-level members, the other five pirate gangs combined had 24 such members, giving them a decisive numerical advantage.
The members of the Jinxuan Island Pirate Gang, Feihong Island Pirate Gang, Jiukong Island Pirate Gang, Wolong Island Pirate Gang, Hongshi Island Pirate Gang, and Shisun Island Pirate Gang rode on flying ships and, along with their 24 leaders, joyfully arrived over the island.
“Tianfeng Pirate Gang, you slaughtered one of our factions in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands. Today, we represent the Alliance and will eliminate you.”
As soon as Chang Xin reached the skies, his thunderous voice spread to every corner of the island.
Qing Wugui, along with the Tianfeng Pirate Gang, had been stationed on the island for months. Now, with the arrival of forces from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands—six pirate gangs launching a counterattack—he showed no signs of worry but rather joy.
The path of combat required constant fighting, and what Qing Wugui needed most right now was battle.
However, when he saw Chang Xin, he immediately recognized him, showing a hint of surprise. Chang Xin had also ascended to the divine realm and, just like him, reached the Divine General level in such a short time.
“The Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands is insignificant. Before long, it will disappear entirely,” Qing Wugui replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Chang Xin remained calm, while Yue Donglin, Kong Mofei, Long Fengyue, Shi Kaishan, and Li Nanfeng all showed anger, their gazes filled with murderous intent toward Qing Wugui.
“Dare you! Some unknown guy with such arrogance. Since you’ve offended the Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands, no matter who you are, you’ll die today,” Yue Donglin snapped.
Immediately afterward, Yue Donglin, Kong Mofei, Long Fengyue, Shi Kaishan, and Li Nanfeng sent mental commands to the other three Divine General-level leaders of their pirate gangs, ordering them to attack Qing Wugui right away.

At the same time, the members at the Divine Being stage of the six pirate clans immediately took control of the flying spacecraft, aiming to land on the island and charge straight at the Tianfeng Pirate Clan.
Upon hearing Yue Donglin’s words, Qing Wugui smiled faintly, then suddenly disappeared and appeared right in front of Yue Donglin. With a long sword in hand, he thrust it straight at Yue Donglin.
“You…”
Yue Donglin was shocked. In a hurry, a set of defensive armor appeared on his body—dark and gloomy—it blocked Qing Wugui’s sword strike.
Although it wasn’t fatal, Yue Donglin was still flung backward, a mouthful of blood flying into the air.
The other clan leaders at the Divine General stage were also terrified by Qing Wugui’s elusive and mysterious movement. Shouting in alarm, they immediately surrounded him. Undoubtedly, Qing Wugui was now the greatest threat to the Tianfeng Pirate Clan. They all understood that eliminating him would be equivalent to destroying the entire clan.
In an instant, twenty-two spells formed from condensed spiritual bodies simultaneously targeted Qing Wugui.
“Perfect timing,” Qing Wugui exclaimed joyfully.
Those twenty-two spells each contained at least one principle of metal, wood, or water. For Qing Wugui, who had already defeated the principles of metal, wood, and water, he could now counteract any spell containing these three principles.
Undoubtedly, as these twenty-two spells appeared, they underwent astonishing changes. Spells at the Divine General stage instantly weakened to the power of Divine Weapon stage or even Divine Being stage spells.
Even worse, the spells formed from the spiritual bodies of metal, wood, and water disintegrated the moment they appeared.
Boom, boom, boom.
When these spells struck Qing Wugui, they only sparked endless flames, splashes of water, golden light, sand, and storms, which quickly dissipated without harming him at all.
“Impossible!”
Just with one wave of attacks, these twenty-two clan leaders at the Divine General stage showed fear. They never imagined that among the cultivators of the divine realm, there would be someone who could affect the effectiveness of their spells, reducing their power by one or two levels or even rendering them ineffective.
Such an extraordinary ability left these twenty-two leaders feeling utterly powerless.
Chang Xin, on the other hand, understood Qing Wugui much better than these twenty-two leaders. Someone who could get along well with Qu Yi must have some secrets. Therefore, when he saw these twenty-two leaders launching an attack, he had already flown down, bringing nearly six thousand members at the Divine Being stage from the six pirate clans to the island, and they immediately charged at the Tianfeng Pirate Clan.

“A bunch of fools! Thinking you can kill Qing Wu Gui? That’s impossible. You have no idea that I’m using you right now. Only when all six of our pirate clans are destroyed can I bring out all the pirate clans in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands to deal with Qu Yi. Only then can I expose the secrets about Qu Yi, ensuring that his secrets become known throughout the divine realm. At that point, Qu Yi will be hunted by the entire divine realm and will never survive again.” That was what Chang Xin thought mercilessly as he landed.

Yes, after learning that the Tianfeng Pirate Clan was connected to Qu Yi, Chang Xin came up with a plan—to provoke the entire divine realm to hunt Qu Yi.

Chang Xin was well aware that with Qu Yi’s talents, he himself didn’t have the strength to kill him. So he had to bring in the power of the divine realm to deal with Qu Yi. By using these six pirate clans, even at the cost of his own pirate clan, he aimed to draw out the strength of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands. If even that couldn’t defeat Qu Yi, he would take it a step further by revealing the secrets of the divine weapons Qu Yi possessed, thereby drawing in all the cultivators in the divine realm to hunt him.

Chang Xin was truly meticulous in his efforts to eliminate Qu Yi.

Seeing Chang Xin land, Zhu Chen immediately shouted to the other four leaders at the Divine General level, “You go deal with those pirates. I’ll stop this leader at the Divine General level.”

With that, Zhu Chen took out his divine weapon and charged at Chang Xin.

Chang Xin had three million Gold, Wood, Fire spirit bodies, while Zhu Chen only had one million. From the start, Zhu Chen was at a disadvantage and could only defend himself while retreating to avoid Chang Xin’s attacks.

For now, Zhu Chen was merely holding Chang Xin off, waiting for the other four Divine General leaders to finish dealing with the members of the six pirate clans before coming to help him fight Chang Xin.

Chang Xin knew Zhu Chen’s intentions, but his face showed no reaction, though he was actually pleased by it.

“Delay them. Once you’ve killed everyone from those six pirate clans, I’ll escape,” Chang Xin thought happily, continuing to attack in a calm and unhurried manner.

Chang Xin had the strength to kill Zhu Chen, but he understood that doing so would be pointless. His goal was to mobilize the entire power of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Islands to deal with Qu Yi. So naturally, he couldn’t kill the key members of the Tianfeng Pirate Clan, as that might force Qu Yi to change his plans. If Qu Yi left the inner sea, Chang Xin’s plan wouldn’t work.

Zhu Chen, however, didn’t understand Chang Xin’s thoughts and continued to struggle desperately against him.

On the island, the four Divine General-level leaders of the Sky Wind Pirate Gang, along with 500 of their members, began to massacre the members of the six other pirate gangs.
