79. The Pirate Conspiracy!

79. The Pirate Conspiracy!

Lin Fei had an expressionless face. But the surrounding Nine Profound Sect disciples couldn't help but feel a tremor in their hearts!

Though the sect master had mentioned that Lin Fei had slain two martial artists at the acquired seventh level and they were not doubting their leader's words, they had never witnessed Lin Fei's prowess firsthand. In their hearts, there was still a trace of uncertainty.

Now, seeing Lin Fei eliminate an acquired sixth level pirate with a single saber stroke, their doubts vanished.

Lin Fei truly deserved the title of "Chief Disciple"!

Having drawn his saber, Lin Fei had no intention of sheathing it again.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei displayed his Leaping Technique, darting to another pirate's side in an instant. With a slash of his saber, thirteen shadows enveloped the pirate.

"Thud."

The pirate's head was severed by Lin Fei's saber and fell to the ground.

More than twenty pirates in total. Those who were difficult to subdue or couldn't be stopped temporarily, Lin Fei personally dealt with. The Leaping Technique was perfectly suited to this situation, like a fish in water.

"Your Leaping Technique has demonstrated its might, invigorating its spirit and increasing its cultivation progress by 50%."

"Your Leaping Technique has broken through to transcendence!"

The system's voice resounded in Lin Fei's mind. It was the sound of the Leaping Technique's cultivation progress.

"This Leaping Technique must be lively in nature. The more I utilize it, the faster its cultivation progress will be. Perhaps, this Leaping Technique could reach perfection!"

Thoughts flashed through Lin Fei's mind.

For Lin Fei, his lightness skill didn't need to be overly demanding; it merely needed to be sufficient.

For example, the Flowing Clothes Skill. It had always been at the transcendence level. Once it reached transcendence, there was no further progress.

However, Lin Fei wasn't concerned. The transcendence level was more than enough.

However, it seemed that the Leaping Technique was more than just transcendence. It could very likely reach perfection.

With the transcendence Leaping Technique, Lin Fei moved even faster.

In the blink of an eye, among the twenty-odd pirates, nearly ten were slain by Lin Fei. Another ten were killed by Nine Profound Sect disciples. Only two were captured alive.

Mo Wen clenched his teeth. He was somewhat unwilling. However, he knew his career was essentially over. Now he could only return home to retire. For him, this might not necessarily be a bad thing. Living in the martial world, one might lose their life someday.

"Find out the real purpose of those pirates as soon as possible. Especially the villages, we must find out what the pirates have done."

Lin Fei issued the command. So, the people of the Nine Profound Sect began to take action. They sealed off the gates of Haizhou City and secretly sent out spies to investigate the villages that had been raided by the pirates. Apart from that, Lin Fei just waited quietly in Haizhou City.

One day, two days, three days...

As time passed day by day, Lin Fei remained in Haizhou City. He showed no intention of leaving. The Sect Master's order was for Lin Fei to lead the Nine Profound Sect disciples to eradicate the pirates.

But Lin Fei hadn't even taken anyone out of the city. How could they accomplish the Nine Profound Sect's mission? For a moment, the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect had their doubts about Lin Fei's approach.

"Why hasn't the chief left the city for such a long time?"

"We have already investigated, and the pirates have been entrenched in Haiping Town."

"With our strength, even if we go out, we can eradicate those pirates."

"That's right, we have already obtained solid information. Among those pirates, there isn't even a single acquired seventh-level martial artist. The strongest are only at the acquired sixth level."

"I don't know what the chief is worried about?"

Facing the turmoil outside, Lin Fei still insisted on his own view. He never went out. Because the more information he received, the more uneasy Lin Fei felt.

This group of pirates acted very strangely. Raiding villages and towns was normal. However, kidnapping all the young boys and girls without killing them was very abnormal.

Ordinary pirates, even if they needed to replenish their forces, would only recruit strong, able-bodied people. At the very least, they would kidnap some women.

But what about young boys and girls?

They were just children. They would consume a lot of food every day. This was not beneficial to the pirates at all. But this was what the pirates did in every village they raided. There must be a reason that Lin Fei didn't know.

Lin Fei felt there was a problem.

However, he had to complete the mission assigned by the Sect Master.

What should he do?

Lin Fei could only resort to the most cautious approach. That was to wait! He needed time to slowly nurture his saber.

Once the saber was nurtured for a certain period, No matter what plots the pirates had, Lin Fei would have the confidence to face them.
