Purple Pearl led all the crew, carefully landing on the island.
However, contrary to Purple Pearl's expectations, the entire island was unusually quiet.
The morning sun shone on the beach, casting a brilliant golden light.
White waves gently washed the shore, creating a scene of serene tranquility.
However, the beautiful and peaceful environment did not ease the tension in Purple Pearl's heart.
Her brow furrowed, and her gaze turned solemnly towards the interior of the island.
She thought to herself, What's going on? Haven't they landed yet? Why is it so quiet?
Just as she was harboring doubts, she saw the outpost not far away.
At the same time, she also saw three bodies lying on the ground.
She quickly stepped forward and saw the three heads with peaceful expressions, their eyes closed, and a chill ran through her heart.
The old pirate beside her said in astonishment, "Such a clean attack. Judging by their expressions, they didn't even have time to react.
Is this the foreign aid that the captain found?"
Purple Pearl thought bitterly, How could I have the ability to find such foreign aid?
However, Purple Pearl also knew that now was not the time to say these words.
She immediately led the crew to the center of the island.
However, as they went deeper, they saw countless headless corpses, peacefully collapsing on the cold ground.
Some people seemed to have died suddenly while they were still cooking.
The aroma of food echoed in the quiet village.
At this time, whether it was Purple Pearl or other Pirate Group members, they were all shocked by the contrasting scene before them.
An unspeakable sense of fear lingered in their hearts.
"So many people died, but there's not a trace of blood.
Truly terrifying!"
Only then did Purple Pearl notice the incongruity.
They had walked about halfway and seen hundreds of corpses, but she had not smelled any blood.
After a brief pause, they quickened their pace.
A quarter of an hour had passed since they landed on the island.
The Purple Pearl Pirate Group arrived at the center of Golden Sand Island.
The central buildings were clearly a level above the outer ones. In the center of the many stone houses, the group finally saw Quan Yi and Huo Wu.
At this time, behind them, there were wooden boxes piled up to the height of two people. Some of the wooden boxes were opened, and they were filled with many dazzling gems and treasures.
Obviously, these were the various treasures collected by the Golden Sand Pirate Group.
However, when everyone in the Purple Pearl Pirate Group saw the countless treasures, they did not have a trace of greed in their hearts.
Only because Quan Yi and Huo Wu, standing in front of the treasure chest, exuded a terrifyingly cold killing intent.
Those with weaker strength saw strange phantoms in front of their eyes with just a glance at the two figures.
Even Purple Pearl, the strongest of them all, couldn't stop her body from trembling when she stood in front of the two.
Quan Yi noticed the performance of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
He smiled lightly and said, "You've finally arrived. You still need to help us deal with the aftermath here."
As he spoke, the rich killing intent emanating from Quan Yi's body completely returned to himself.
The terrifying killing intent brought about by killing a thousand people could not affect Quan Yi's own mind at all under Quan Yi's powerful mental strength.
Although Huo Wu had killed less than five hundred people, they were all the strongest Soul Masters, and the killing intent accumulated on her body was no less than Quan Yi's.
However, this killing intent also could not affect Huo Wu, who had powerful mental strength.
Moreover, Huo Wu, who had accepted the Phoenix Remnant Spirit's sacrifice, inherited the Phoenix Flame's purification ability within her spiritual sea.
Mere killing intent couldn't shake Huo Wu's heart.
However, after the slaughter, the two's minds had clearly undergone a tremendous transformation.
All sorts of hesitation within them gradually dissipated. After this event, their hearts would become even more decisive.
As warriors, they had clearly completed a metamorphosis.
Purple Pearl, watching Quan Yi control his power with ease, felt a sense of submission towards Quan Yi and Huo Wu in her heart.
"Yes, please wait a moment.
I will clean everything up."
Purple Pearl immediately led the crew to clean up the mess everywhere.
Burning corpses, freeing imprisoned slaves, and collecting scattered treasures and supplies.
Thanks to their fifty-plus Soul Masters and four hundred-plus strong pirates, they completed all the work before sunset.
At night, Purple Pearl stood respectfully before Quan Yi, reporting the specific intelligence of Golden Sand Island.
"The Golden Sand Pirate Group has forty sea vessels and assets and treasures worth over one million Gold Soul Coins.
Within the island, excluding the five hundred and twenty-one freed slaves, a total of one thousand nine hundred and forty-two corpses were burned.
Those slaves have been settled in the pirate group's residences and are now stable.
In addition, there are many fertile fields within the island, which, according to our judgment, can fully support three thousand people.
Sir, do you have any further instructions?"
Quan Yi sat quietly by the bonfire, deep in thought, and then commanded, "You've done well. That's all for today.
Tomorrow, we will go to Demon Dove Island. Let everyone go back and rest well."
Purple Pearl bowed and slowly retreated.
Her attitude showed more respect than at the beginning.
Huo Wu sat beside Quan Yi and asked, "What do you plan to do with these people? Five hundred slaves are not a small number."
"These people can be settled on Golden Sand Island first. Once we conquer Demon Dove Island, our fleet can enter the island, and they will be properly taken care of by the family."
The slave system, which had already been swept into the dustbin of history, still existed on this isolated island far from the mainland.
In the sea area without laws, the law of the jungle was even more prominent.
There were very few pirate groups like the Purple Pearl Pirate Group that supported the weak.
It was precisely for this reason that Quan Yi had unhesitatingly chosen Golden Sand Island and Demon Dove Island as his targets.
That night, the sea area of Golden Sand Island was calm, and the day was as uneventful as usual.
However, no one would know that a surging undercurrent was gathering.
Early the next morning, the Purple Pearl set sail from Golden Sand Island.
However, this time, the Pirate Group left half of its members behind to take over Golden Sand Island.
The other half went to Demon Dove Island.
After a day of sailing, the sea vessel arrived in the sea area near Demon Dove Island at sunset.
After a day of rest, Quan Yi and Huo Wu's conditions not only fully recovered but even showed a significant increase.
It should be known that after evolving into Ultimate Fire, the speed of the two's cultivation was comparable to a snail's pace.
Especially Huo Wu, who did not have assistance like Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Horns, her cultivation speed would be even slower than Quan Yi's.
However, unexpectedly, engaging in a real battle would have a certain benefit to the Soul Master's cultivation improvement.
This made Huo Wu even more anticipate the trip to Demon Dove Island.
At the moment of sunset, ten sea vessels were scattered around the sea area of Demon Dove Island.
Most of them were patrol ships.
In terms of strictness of security, the Demon Dove Pirate Group is even more stringent than the Golden Sand Pirate Group.
