Chapter 116 Tianlong Island, traces of the Blackwater Alliance?
If you don't build good relationships, once you encounter any risk of force majeure, you don't have to refrain from taking action, but you just have to choose the right time to take action.
The damage caused was probably enough to cost him his life.
After all, most of the profits from a voyage of the Dawn belong to the Chen family.
Chen Fan stood there, feeling a little strange. When he talked about Tianlong Island just now, he felt an inexplicable beating in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
Chen Fan couldn't help but believe it, because this was not only the throbbing from the soul itself, but also the signal from the origin of the true spirit.
But knowing nothing, no matter how excited he was, he couldn't make a choice, because Chen Fan didn't know whether this was a reminder for him not to go to Tianlong Island or whether he must go to Tianlong Island.
We can only take things as they come and accept them as they come.
Chen Fan had a good time on the Dawn. No one disturbed him and the fat man hadn't come since the last time.
On weekdays, some meals are delivered by beautiful maids. Although the powerful people in the Spirit Sea Realm have passed the test of becoming a mortal and do not need to eat, they can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to survive.
But for Chen Fan, eating is not only to maintain life, but also to satisfy the desire for food.
At least, the food on the Dawn is very good. It is basically low-level sea beasts collected locally. After being cooked with special techniques, it is fresh, fragrant and delicious.
One day, Chen Fan was enjoying delicious food when the ship suddenly shook. Although it was very slight, he still felt it with his keen senses.
Chen Fan paused for a moment, then continued to focus on the food as if nothing had happened.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
"come in."
Chen Fan's tone was very calm.
The door opened, and the fat man came in and the first thing he said was to apologize: "I'm sorry, Master Chen, several level eight sea beasts rammed the ship earlier. If I disturbed you, Master, I apologize to you."
The fat guy's name was originally Chen Chen.
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan's attention was not on the previous tremor at all. Instead, he was somewhat interested in the fat man's name.
"Your name is Chen Chen, so do you have a brother named Chen Xi?"
Chen Fan asked curiously.
"Uh." Chen Chen was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what Chen Fan meant, he still replied: "I do have a younger brother named Chen Xi."
"I see."
Chen Fan said something nonsensical, then waved his hand to let Chen Chen leave.
"Okay, go now. Be careful these days. This incident may not be an isolated case."
Chen Chen left with a heavy heart.
Chen Fan’s last sentence was a warning, which made him suddenly realize and aware of some problems.
Now they haven't even reached the first island stop, which means they haven't sailed very far. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many eighth-grade sea beasts in such a place.
But it just happened. Chen Chen was able to sit in his current position. Identity is one thing, but ability is also crucial. He realized instantly that there must be something fishy going on.
"Maybe this fat guy can solve this problem without me having to do anything."
Chen Fan thought.
In the next few days, the Dawn was not hit by sea beasts again. This was normal. After all, not all sea beasts would not be afraid and would dare to rush forward to fight against the huge monsters that were thousands of meters long.
Of course, I don’t know whether Chen Chen has any role to play in this.
Soon, the Dawn passed the first island in a smooth voyage and headed towards the second island.
The name of the second island is...Tianlong Island.
……
Tianlong Island is not very big, only about tens of thousands of square kilometers. The population on the island is not large, but basically all of them are warriors.
The reason why it is called Tianlong Island is that when viewed from above, the island looks like a winding dragon.
There is a force on the island called the Red Dragon Clan. In terms of rank, it is a sixth-rank force. They are fully responsible for the cultivation and trading of the most abundant Red Dragon Grass.
The Dawn Chamber of Commerce connected with the Red Dragon Gate to obtain the Red Dragon Grass.
"President Chen."
The Dawn docked at a giant port built specifically for it. Chen Chen got off the ship and a middle-aged man approached.
"Elder Qin."
Chen Chen nodded slightly.
"President Chen, I didn't expect you to lead the team personally this time."
Elder Qin said with a smile, with a bit of surprise in his tone. In the past, most of the time, the vice president of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce was in charge of the Dawn, while the president usually sat in the chamber of commerce headquarters.
Chen Chen didn't want to explain anything, he just said: "Elder Qin, there is no need to say useless words. Is the goods ready? We don't have much time."
"Hey, why is President Chen in such a hurry? Since he has come to my Tianlong Island, we have to entertain him well. Otherwise, if President Chen comes to Tianlong in person and can't even have a cup of tea, it will not be good for both us if the news gets out."
Elder Qin said.
After hearing this, Chen Chen hesitated a little. He was a businessman and naturally knew that what Elder Qin said was right. If it were under normal circumstances, he would not refuse Elder Qin's invitation.
But this time he had a mission, and there was a very important person on the ship. He didn't dare to waste his time without permission.
"No, thank you Elder Qin for inviting me, but I have something important to do this time, so I won't bother you with any expenses."
Chen Chen shook his head.
Logically speaking, Elder Qin should understand Chen Chen's determination after talking about this, but he still looked hesitant and stammered, unable to speak.
"Elder Qin, what on earth happened?"
Chen Chen had a bad feeling in his heart and said in a deep voice.
"Hey," Elder Qin sighed, "President Chen, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's hard to say it out loud."
"Elder Qin, just speak frankly. If it has nothing to do with you, I will naturally not blame you."
"In that case, I will speak frankly. About a month ago, several people came to Tianlong Island. Several... very powerful warriors.
President Chen, you also know that the situation on Tianlong Island is special. It is not uncommon for a few powerful warriors to come here, and our sect didn't care much about it.
Until a few days ago, those warriors came to the Red Dragon Gate and asked the Red Dragon Gate to sell the Red Dragon Grass to a sixth-grade force called Changhai Palace.
In fact, if the price is right, it is not impossible to negotiate, but the price those people offered is extremely low, 50% lower than the price Chenxi offered. "
At this point, even Chen Chen could sense the dissatisfaction in Elder Qin's tone.
This move by Changhai Palace was undoubtedly a contempt for Chilongmen, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a slap in the face of Chilongmen, but the leader of Chilongmen endured it.
"If it was just the Changhai Palace, I, the Red Dragon Sect, wouldn't be afraid of them. We are both sixth-rank forces, so who is afraid of whom? But it just so happens that the Changhai Palace has recently joined the Black Water Alliance and has become very popular. I, the Red Dragon Sect, simply cannot afford to offend them."
Elder Qin shook his head repeatedly, while Chen Chen remained silent.
Although the Blackwater Alliance is a deep-sea power, it is also well-known due to its huge power. Even many forces in the True Spirit Continent know this name, not to mention in the shallow sea. If the Southern Shallow Sea Alliance is the most powerful force in the shallow sea, then the Blackwater Alliance is the most powerful force in the deep sea.
"Why is the Blackwater Alliance here?"
Just as the two were silent, a voice sounded from his ears. Elder Qin looked over subconsciously and saw Chen Chen bowing.
"Little Lord."
Suddenly, the words that were about to come out of Elder Qin's mouth were swallowed back.
"Is he the young master of the power behind the Dawn Chamber of Commerce?"
Elder Qin guessed that he knew that there was a powerful force behind the Dawn Chamber of Commerce, at least a fifth-grade force.
The only one who could be called Young Master by the President of Dawn Chamber of Commerce was probably the Young Master of that fifth-rank force.
But even though he was thinking about it, Elder Qin did not forget what Chen Fan said: "Sir, I don't know either."
Chen Fan was silent for a moment and then said, "Take me to your Red Dragon Gate."
Elder Qin was shocked, not knowing what Chen Fan wanted to do. He raised his head slightly and glanced at him, but found that there was no expression on the other person's face.
So Elder Qin took Chen Fan to the Red Dragon Gate without even saying no.
It’s not that Elder Qin betrayed the Red Dragon Sect, but the Red Dragon Sect itself is located in the Tianlong Island. The island is so small that even if he didn’t tell anyone, it would not be difficult for a powerful person in the Spirit Sea Realm to find it.
What's more, just because he didn't say it doesn't mean that others won't say it. Elder Qin is not the only one who knows the location of the Red Dragon Sect, and it's not a secret.
Chen Chen was left on the Dawn by Chen Fan, and Chen Fan followed Elder Qin to the Red Dragon Gate alone.
Chen Chen wanted to follow, but was rejected by Chen Fan. In his words, Chen Chen was too weak. Once anything happened, he would not only be unable to help, but also become a burden.
The Red Dragon Gate is located at the dragon head of Tianlong Island. Its base is not small. Of course, this is relative to Tianlong Island. In fact, their base is the smallest among the sixth-grade forces.
But this small sect can burst out huge energy. In addition to a Taishang who is a great master in the Linghai realm, the leader of the Red Dragon Sect also entered the Linghai realm a few years ago.
There are also many warriors at the Star Realm in the sect, but all of this is not important when facing the envoys from the Changhai Palace.
"Master Zhang, when will you give us the Red Dragon Grass? You don't have much time left."
In the main hall of the Red Dragon Sect, a young man who looked to be about thirty years old said indifferently.
His tone was full of arrogance. He dared to speak to a powerful person in the Spiritual Sea Realm in this way, so the person who spoke was naturally also a powerful person in the Spiritual Sea Realm.
"Brother Ouyang, can you give me some more time? The consumption of my Tianlong Island has been quite high over the years, and I really can't gather 100,000 Red Dragon Grasses in a short time."
Zhang Xiong had a bitter smile on his face, suppressing his anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to resist. After these days of understanding, he realized that let alone the Blackwater Alliance, even the Changhai Palace was far more than the Red Dragon Gate could contend with.
The sixth-grade forces that were able to join the Blackwater Alliance were not like the Red Dragon Gate, which barely crossed the line between the seventh and sixth grades.
The Changhai Palace is at least a sixth-grade force of medium or above. There are grandmasters in charge of the sect, as well as more than one Linghai realm masters.
Apart from anything else, this "Brother Ouyang" is a powerful person in the Spirit Sea Realm with considerable strength.
Otherwise, why would you, Sect Master Zhang, suppress your anger? Even if you can't afford to offend Changhai Palace, you can still teach them a lesson.
"Brother Zhang, this is wrong. Tianlong Island is vast and rich in resources. Every household is a warrior with good strength. How could it be impossible that they can't even get a mere 100,000 Red Dragon Grasses?"
Patriarch Zhang's mouth twitched. He admitted that the land was rich, but where was the vast land?
In fact, if Tianlong Island really wants to produce 100,000 red dragon grasses in a short period of time, it is not impossible for it to do so, but it will definitely affect the interests of Tianlong Island and other forces to a great extent.
Even if they could deal with the Changhai Palace by then, they would probably offend dozens of forces that had previously cooperated with the Red Dragon Gate.
There is no shortage of sixth-rank forces among these dozens of families. A single family may not be as powerful as the Changhai Palace, but when dozens of families are added together, their anger is estimated to be able to overturn the entire Chilongmen.
It’s a headache. It’s such a headache.
Patriarch Zhang felt like his head was about to explode.
"Alright, stop talking to me here. If you don't hand over 100,000 Red Dragon Grasses in five days at most, our Palace Master will come in person."
Ouyang Wen became impatient, and after issuing an ultimatum, he took the people from Changhai Palace and left.
"Why, you're very unwilling?"
"who!"
Patriarch Zhang's hair stood on end instantly, and he felt terrified. The voice came from his ear, but he did not sense any breath.
"hehe…"
Patriarch Zhang suddenly turned around and found a young man in white standing at the entrance of the hall.
Although he was a teenager, he did not have even the slightest contempt, because he could not sense the aura of the young man in white, not even a trace.
In his perception, there was nothing in front of the entrance of the hall at the moment, and it could only be seen with the naked eye.
In order to achieve this, one must be a top-notch powerhouse who is far superior to him, and even... surpassing the powerful is not impossible.
"Junior Zhang..."
"I'm not interested in knowing your name, just tell me whether it's true or not."
"Yes."
Patriarch Zhang said that he did not hide his emotions. It would be a foolish thing to hide his emotions in front of a powerful person who was far superior to himself.
Chen Fan looked at Sect Master Zhang with great interest. He could feel that this Sect Master of the Red Dragon Sect, who had "barely" broken through a few years ago, had a strong power in his body, probably at the level of a real person.
"Old bitch."
Chen Fan sighed, and at the same time, some interest arose in his heart. What would the scene be like if this old bitch exploded?
"Master, Master!"
A figure rushed into the hall. It was Elder Qin.
"Old Qin, why are you in such a hurry? Senior, who is this..."
Sect Leader Zhang was stunned because he suddenly discovered that Chen Fan had disappeared without him knowing when.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Elder Qin was also confused for a moment, wondering why Sect Leader Zhang had such an expression.
"Beside you, there stood an unfathomable senior..."
Patriarch Zhang explained.
"Master, that senior is wearing white clothes and looks very young."
Elder Qin asked.
"Yes, you saw it?"
Now it was Master Zhang's turn to be surprised.
"Well, if my guess is correct, that person should be the young master of the power behind the Dawn Chamber of Commerce..."
