Chapter 3952: Chapter 3952: Soul-devouring Island (Seven Updates)

...

Steering the azure warship through the storm, Ye Chen suddenly sensed something and took out a storage bag.

This storage bag was acquired after he killed Song City.

At this moment, Qin Hongyue also cast her gaze towards that storage bag, from which waves of fluctuations were emanating.

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly took out a Communication Jade Token from the storage bag.

Qin Hongyue asked, ”What is this?”

Ye Chen replied, ”While on the merchant ship, a pirate spy infiltrated the Beihan Commerce intending to block our departure. This storage bag was obtained after I wiped him out.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hongyue frowned slightly and said, ”So that means, those contacting him are likely people from the pirate group?”

Why was the spy’s Communication Jade Token sending out fluctuations now?

Ye Chen said calmly, ”Take it and find out.”

The next moment, injecting his mind into it, a man’s voice instantly came from the jade token.

”Qin Hongyue?”

Ye Chen asked, ”Are you from the pirate group?”

Li Shan replied, ”You must be the man who rescued Qin Hongyue, right? Yes, I am one of the members of the pirate group that attacked you.”

Qin Hongyue’s expression darkened, knowing that members of the Black Fin Pirate Group had survived that explosion was not good news for her.

Ye Chen remained silent for a moment and said, ”Speak, what’s your purpose for sending contact information?”

He knew that if this person intended to hunt him and Qin Hongyue, there was no need to send contact information.

Li Shan smiled and said, ”Kid, you’re quite lucky. I’m here to deliver a grand gift to you and Miss Qin. I can tell you that the Black Fin Pirate Group is nearly wiped out; only I and the Black Fin King Shi Fei survived.”

Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with divine light and said, ”Continue.”

Li Shan said, ”Currently, although Shi Fei is severely injured, he still possesses power comparable to the Qiankun Realm Fourth Layer Heaven. Now, he’s already pursuing the location where you are. Although the warship you are on isn’t of low grade, its speed is not enough to shake off the mutated Shi Fei, so I provide you a suggestion...”

A murderous intent flashed across his face as he said, ”You should be trying to bypass the Ice Teeth Pirate Group’s territory, aren’t you? If you wish to get rid of Shi Fei, the best method is to enter the Soul-devouring Island!”

Ye Chen looked at Qin Hongyue, using his gaze to inquire what kind of place this Soul-devouring Island was.

Qin Hongyue said, ”Soul-devouring Island is an extremely special place in the Vicious Sea. Upon entering, divine soul detection instantly fails, and the island is pervaded by a strange energy that continuously consumes the soul power of entrants, ultimately devouring their divine soul...”

However, this Soul-devouring Island does not appear at a fixed location but drifts in the Vicious Sea, so even we at Beihan Commerce cannot grasp its exact location.”

Ye Chen pondered that if Shi Fei were really chasing after them, entering this Soul-devouring Island, which could block divine soul detection, was indeed an opportunity to evade being hunted, but...

Doing so meant they would be trapped on Soul-devouring Island, and if Shi Fei couldn’t find them, he might guard outside the island.

Moreover, based on what Qin Hongyue said, how were they to find the location of this Soul-devouring Island?

At this point, Li Shan spoke again, ”The grand gift I’m referring to is telling you the location of the Soul-devouring Island. I’ve lived in the Vicious Sea for many years, and even if the Soul-devouring Island is drifting, I can accurately pinpoint its location!

I can tell you that the Soul-devouring Island is not far from you!”

Ye Chen, upon hearing this, was silent for a moment before speaking again, ”Why are you telling us this, and why should we believe you?”

Li Shan laughed coldly and said, ”Because I want to kill Shi Fei.”

Ye Chen and Qin Hongyue were not too surprised by these words.

Pirates in the Vicious Sea are mostly cruel and vicious. Wanting to kill one’s companions is nothing out of the ordinary.

Li Shan made no attempt to hide his intentions and said directly, ”The reason I’m telling you all this is that I just want you to buy me some time so I can find help to deal with Shi Fei. After all, Shi Fei is heavily injured this time, so it’s the best opportunity to kill him. I won’t let it go.”

He knew that in this situation, gaining the trust of the other party was most important, and it was clear that neither Ye Chen nor Qin Hongyue were fools, so Li Shan had no intention of deceiving them.

Ye Chen said, ”Then tell me, where is the Soul-devouring Island?”

Li Shan smiled upon hearing this and informed Ye Chen of the Soul-devouring Island’s location.

Then, he cut off the communication.

In the next moment, he took out a lower-level wooden boat and headed off in a certain direction.

Ye Chen looked at Qin Hongyue and said, ”Do you think this person’s words are credible?”

Qin Hongyue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, ”It should be quite credible. Of the Black Fin Pirate Group, apart from that ferocious beast and Shi Fei, there are no other late-stage Qiankun Realm existences. Since this person survived, it’s possible Shi Fei also survived. I’ve dealt with this person before, and knowing his personality, even if heavily injured, he would pursue us...”

Thinking of this, Qin Hongyue couldn’t help but shiver, knowing that although Shi Fei seems rash, he’s actually quite meticulous, being very cautious at critical moments...

However, his desire for women surpasses everything else!

Qin Hongyue remained silent for a moment and continued, ”However, knowing the power of that explosion on the merchant ship, it’s clear that surviving it would require at least a late-stage Qiankun Realm existence and proactive defense measures, given anticipation of the explosion, which raises the question—why didn’t he warn Shi Fei?

If he had warned Shi Fei, Shi Fei likely wouldn’t have been injured in the explosion, meaning, with his late-stage Qiankun Realm power, there would be no need for these tricks.

This man, possessing considerable cultivation and wit, wouldn’t have been able to accurately judge the timing of the explosion otherwise.

For those with capability, it’s common not to resign themselves to a subordinate position, so I think it’s true that Li Shan plans to kill Shi Fei. Therefore, using us as lures, there’s no conflict with his interests before Shi Fei’s death.”

Ye Chen said, ”In that case, let’s proceed to the Soul-devouring Island.”

Even though staying on the Soul-devouring Island would continuously drain soul power, it’s still a better option than being caught by Shi Fei.

Moreover, if Shi Fei and Li Shan engage in battle on the Soul-devouring Island, whether or not Li Shan manages to defeat Shi Fei, it could provide an opportunity for Ye Chen and Qin Hongyue to escape.

The spiritual light on the azure warship flashed slightly, altering its course towards the location of the Soul-devouring Island that Li Shan had revealed to Ye Chen.
