Under Huo Wu's meticulous calculations, each flash of light pierced through at least three pirates.
The crisscrossing lines formed a complex picture.
Compared to the Golden Sand Pirate Group, the Demon Dove Pirate Group, gathered in a wide open space, was easier to clear out.
After more than fifty pirates died, the remaining pirates continued their revelry.
They didn't even realize that hell had descended.
Huo Wu, relying on the shadows she manifested, constructed a map of the enemy's positions in her mind. At the same time, she used her spatial awareness to create the most efficient attack route.
Fifteen Flame Spikes were once again condensed.
A brand new composition appeared in the banquet hall.
More than fifty pirates were killed.
Under Huo Wu's focused attention, Soul Emperors, Soul Kings, and Soul Elders were all killed.
In the outer sea, the patrol captain and his subordinates, who were still complaining, continued to grumble.
However, they didn't know that Quan Yi was hovering behind them, eavesdropping on their conversation.
This ship was Quan Yi's last target to clear.
The other nine pirate ships had already been dealt with by Quan Yi.
Of course, this ship would be no exception.
However, the two were discussing how the Demon Dove Pirate Group had intercepted a large merchant ship without any losses.
"No wonder there are some unfamiliar Soul Masters on the island; it turns out the entire merchant fleet was captured."
Of course, given their position in the Pirate Group, the two couldn't obtain more detailed information.
Therefore, after hearing the general information, Quan Yi interrupted their chatter with a short sword condensed from Scorching Ray.
The two 'wage slaves' were filled with all sorts of negative emotions, and Quan Yi was afraid that continuing to listen would affect his own mood.
At this point, the entire maritime guard team, spread out over dozens of miles, had been killed.
Afterward, Quan Yi darted around, constantly reaping the lives of the pirates.
However, Quan Yi deliberately spared the pirates guarding the prison.
Half an hour later, the lively Demon Dove Island completely fell silent, leaving only bonfires and lights illuminating the island.
The Purple Pearl was docked on the beach.
Purple Pearl led half of her pirate crew towards the interior.
However, at this moment, Quan Yi and Huo Wu preemptively appeared before them.
Purple Pearl respectfully asked, "Is there anything you need?"
Quan Yi didn't stand on ceremony and directly ordered, "There's a prison of the Demon Dove Pirate Group to the west, where slaves and a ship of merchants are being held.
I hope you lead your crew to rescue them.
Some of those in the prison are merchants who were recently captured.
Remember, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourselves."
Purple Pearl paused slightly, then immediately understood Quan Yi's intention.
"Yes, I'll go now.
Men, prepare for battle! Target: the prison!"
Purple Pearl immediately led more than two hundred of her subordinates towards the west.
Deep within the prison, there were several cages made of hard alloy.
These cages were specifically designed to hold Soul Masters.
Normally, they rarely had the opportunity to be used, but now, the once-empty cages were packed with people.
These people were the Soul Masters from the merchant fleet.
At that moment, a short-tempered Soul Master gripped the bars, glaring and shouting, "If I hadn't been poisoned, how could I have been captured by these pirates!
Damn it, it's all the fault of the Vast Sea Shipyard for having a spy for the pirates."
This person was the leader of the merchant group, with a cultivation level similar to Demon Dove, a Soul Emperor-level expert.
However, due to the poison secretly administered by the insider, he was in a weakened state.
Across from him in the cage sat a dozen women.
They had no time to pay attention to the leader; their hearts were filled with fear.
They understood that falling into this situation meant their future fate was sealed.
A sense of despair permeated the place.
Just then, the sound of battle suddenly erupted outside the prison.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Viper's Raging Sea."
At that moment, Purple Pearl's entire body grew grayish-black scales, and she moved swiftly between the prison guards in a crawling posture.
These guards, with their low strength, couldn't resist Purple Pearl at all.
She rapidly spat out a chilling poison from her mouth, and the enemies touched by this Poisonous Fog collapsed to the ground without resistance.
Purple Pearl's Martial Soul was called Sea Viper, and this type of Soul Beast possessed a special chilling poison.
Those who were poisoned would become cold and weak, and there was almost no cure for this poison.
The guards, although gathering together to use group attacks to interrupt Purple Pearl's offensive, found her strange crawling method very difficult to catch.
Many ranged attacks missed their mark.
Under Purple Pearl's leadership, the members of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group finished off the poisoned members behind her.
Before long, the prison guards were annihilated by the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
Purple Pearl strode into the prison and shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group has come to rescue you!
This Demon Dove Island has been completely occupied by our Purple Pearl Pirate Group. Later, I will arrange for people to liberate you all.
Please wait quietly."
After speaking, Purple Pearl walked out of the prison and led her crew to clean up Demon Dove Island.
Purple Pearl's appearance brought a glimmer of hope to the desperate people.
After a whole night of tireless cleaning.
Demon Dove Island was completely under their control.
"The wealth accumulated by this Demon Dove Pirate Group is several times more than that of the Golden Sand Pirate Group.
There are three large seagoing ships alone, and all kinds of money add up to about five million Gold Soul Coins.
I wonder how much blood has been shed for such a large fortune?"
Huo Wu looked at the various treasures piled up under the high platform and took a deep breath.
Pirates had only a few ways to make money at sea.
Either they collected tolls and protection fees, or they directly robbed.
However, judging from the huge amount, it was clear that the money had been accumulated through burning, killing, and looting.
At this time, Quan Yi replied with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, this kind of situation will not exist in the future.
It's time to rectify the order at sea."
After completing the occupation of the Two Islands, the Quan Family's Steamship began to frequently travel back and forth between the Two Islands.
Yun Qiong also planted Dark Marks on the Three Islands.
Based on the facilities built by the pirates, the Quan Family began to build more professional and solid docks and piers.
The number of slaves, as many as a thousand, were properly handled with the joint efforts of the Quan Family and the Purple Pearl Pirate Group.
The vast majority of these slaves were born into poverty and were completely deprived of their livelihoods after being plundered by the island.
Therefore, the Quan Family accepted these people and arranged for them to participate in the construction of the island.
Moreover, the Quan Family also distributed the vacant land and houses on the island to these people, helping them regain their identities as people.
If the island is regarded as a territory, then these people, in fact, became the Quan Family's subjects.
The Quan Family's power also expanded as a result.
As for those who had places to go, the Quan Family used the reputation of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group to repatriate them.
These people scattered in all directions, spreading the reputation of the Purple Pearl Pirate Group everywhere.
For a time, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group became famous all over the world.
