Chapter 1562 - Butchering the Pirates
Liu Wuxie couldn't make sense of the situation, so he questioned the middle-aged man, wondering whether saving someone had been a mistake. He couldn't stand idle and watch someone kill a one-year-old child.
"You didn't do anything wrong. What's wrong is this damned world. If you don't want more people to die because of you, leave the Tri-Glyph Island immediately," the middle-aged man said, clenching his fists.
No one had done anything wrong, and the only thing wrong was the world itself.
The island's residents began driving Liu Wuxie away, and some even started hurling garbage at him.
Reason sounded weak in a place like this because the Thousand Islands Sea Region wasn't a land of morality, and survival outweighed everything. To stay alive, they would even sell off their children to trade for food.
Liu Wuxie couldn't bring himself to strike back against unarmed elders, and he couldn't lay hands on the weak or on children. He let the garbage fly, while the Divine Heavenly Feather Robe activated on its own to block it.
"Leave, or I'll die before your eyes," an elderly woman said, pressing a dagger to her throat as blood dripped down. They were ordinary people, and if they could have defeated Liu Wuxie, they would have acted already.
Seeing that, Liu Wuxie could only sigh, then vanish from Tri-Glyph Island and head for the next island.
After Liu Wuxie left, everyone finally calmed down. But they had no idea that not long after his departure, the black warship returned with two more, all packed with pirates.
Black clouds pressed down like a brewing storm, and waves rose ten meters high as Liu Wuxie flew over the ocean and landed on a reef. The next island lay far away, so he planned to wait there until daylight before continuing his journey.
Sitting on the reef, Liu Wuxie circulated the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron and drew a surging current from the surroundings, forming a vortex around him that devoured all spiritual energy within a ten-thousand-meter radius.
With wind and waves as concealment, Liu Wuxie didn't need to worry about being discovered. Moreover, the sea surrounded him, and no one would pass by here at night.
