Chapter 136 Snowy Night: You want me to sit at the same table as the pirates?!
Purple Pearl scoffed, "Arrest us? They wouldn't dare!"
"We're working for Poseidon Island this time, delivering generous gifts to the High Priest. Who's blind enough to dare arrest us?"
The guards had already surrounded them, and Purple Pearl deliberately spoke these words loudly.
As expected.
The guards around them froze in place, none of them daring to approach. They had received word that the Purple Pearl pirate ship was unloading jewels, box after box.
Purple Pearl stepped forward and shoved several guards aside.
"A good dog doesn't block the way. Boss, I'm going to take the brothers to get some nice clothes. After all, we're going to the Spirit Hall, and we can't let Seagod Island lose face!"
Even after Purple Pearl and the others left, none of the guards dared to stop them...
In the blink of an eye, Purple Pearl and her companions arrived at a noble clothing store. They unceremoniously chased away all the other customers and went up to pick out clothes.
"My lords, there are a total of five gold soul coins, what do you think..."
The clothing store owner said with a forced smile.
Purple Pearl sneered, "Don't you know we work for Seagod Island? If you're so capable, go to Seagod Island and ask them for it!"
That's all.
Purple Pearl and her entourage departed, carrying large chests of jewels, and rode their tall horses at breakneck speed towards the outskirts of the city.
A few days later.
Various forces gathered in Wuhun City. Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xueye stood on a high place, watching the people coming and going on the street, exchanging pleasantries from time to time.
The two were immediately surprised when Purple Pearl led her people into Spirit City.
"They're... from Seagod Island? Why do they all look like bandits and pirates?"
The Emperor frowned slightly on the snowy night.
Ning Fengzhi examined them closely and noticed the tattoos on Purple Pearl and the others' arms. He immediately said, "These tattoos belong to the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew! What brings a bunch of pirates here?"
At this moment, Purple Pearl cupped her hands and shouted, "I am Purple Pearl, entrusted by Seagod Island to deliver a congratulatory gift!"
Most of the major forces present knew the name Purple Pearl Pirate Gang to some extent, after all, they were quite famous in the sea area of Hanhai City!
"The Purple Pearl Pirate Crew?! Representing Seagod Island? Are you kidding me?"
"Are all the people from Poseidon Island dead? They actually sent a bunch of pirates here!"
"You don't know that? People from Poseidon Island are not allowed to leave Poseidon Island!"
"How could High Priestess Poseidon leave the island? And even marry Qian Daoliu?"
"Who knows?!"
...
On top of a tall building.
Emperor Xueye was instantly amused and exasperated. "They really are a bunch of pirates! When did our major powers stoop so low as to sit at the same table with pirates?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly. What was going on? How did a bunch of pirates sneak into a gathering of various sects and empires?!
Inside the Spirit Hall.
Qian Xunji also heard the news and said, "What? The people from Seagod Island sent Purple Pearl and her gang of pirates in their place?"
"yes!"
Yue Guan gritted his teeth and said.
"Poseidon Island is truly going too far! Your subordinate is willing to lead the expedition and raze Poseidon Island to the ground!"
Dugu Bo then said, "Elder Yueguan, Seagod Island is not weak; it's not something you can just flatten!"
"Old poisoner, what do you mean?"
Yue Guan frowned.
Dugu Bo immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Holiness, I can go alone. Although I cannot completely destroy Seagod Island, I guarantee that everyone except the Seven Sacred Pillars will die from this poison!"
Yue Guan originally thought that Dugu Bo was scared, but he didn't expect that this old poisoner Dugu Bo wanted to play dirty tricks!
"Damn it, you old poisoner, you're really ruthless!"
Yue Guan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Qianxun said quickly, "The people on Seagod Island can't come out, so perhaps Purple Pearl can come. She's already the best candidate they can find!"
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
Yue Guan said anxiously.
"But they're a bunch of pirates, what are we supposed to do with them?"
Qian Xunji said matter-of-factly, "The Purple Pearl represents Seagod Island, so of course she's with the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo Empires, as well as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We must not neglect her!"
"Poseidon Island is like family, understand?"
Yue Guan and the others exchanged glances. They weren't fools, and immediately replied, "Understood!"
That night.
Purple Pearl and the others strolled around Martial Soul City, marveling at its bustling prosperity.
"Boss, let's pull off a heist in Spirit City before we leave!"
One of the underlings suddenly spoke up.
This immediately drew the attention of those around them. Purple Pearl punched the other person on the head and said irritably, "This is Martial Soul City. Do you want to die?"
"Sorry, boss, it's just my professional habit kicking in!"
The younger brother immediately apologized.
Ignoring the strange looks from others, Zi Zhenzhu and the others continued to stroll around Wuhun City.
the next day.
The wedding officially began, and Purple Pearl swaggered into the Spirit Hall with her entourage.
"Poseidon Island, fifty chests of jewels!"
"Purple Pearl said loudly."
Her shout instantly drew the attention of those around her; fifty boxes of jewels were no less than those of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
"Poseidon Island, fifty chests of jewels!"
The master of ceremonies at the entrance made a note of it and then shouted loudly.
"You may go in now!"
Despite the servant's reminder, Purple Pearl remained unmoved and said again, "Purple Pearl Pirate Crew, fifty chests of jewels!"
In a short time.
Everyone around fell silent, watching what the master of ceremonies would do.
You've come here bearing the name of Poseidon Island, and we, the various factions, won't say anything.
But if you come here using the name of the Purple Pearl Pirates, then we, the various factions, will have to have a serious talk with you!
The official in charge of rites did not dare to make a decision on his own. He immediately sent someone to consult Qian Xunji. After receiving Qian Xunji's confirmation, he immediately shouted.
"The Purple Pearl Pirates, fifty chests of jewels!"
The official immediately noted it down and then bowed, inviting Purple Pearl and the others inside.
Purple Pearl cupped her hands in greeting to those around her: "Gentlemen, Purple Pearl greets you here. The pirate crew members are not going in; those who are going in represent Seagod Island!"
After saying that.
As Zi Zhenzhu and her group entered the Spirit Hall, the surrounding people couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
All emotions represent Poseidon Island. The soul of the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew is gone, isn't it?
Emperor Xueye and the others shook their heads helplessly, and then walked into the Spirit Hall. But when he was led to his seat, he was stunned. Purple Pearl was already seated!
What does this mean?
Emperor Xueye glared angrily at the servants beside him.
Yue Guan then walked over and said, "Your Majesty, why aren't you seated? The wedding is about to begin!"
"Elder Yueguan, you want me to sit at the same table as a bunch of pirates?" Emperor Xueye asked incredulously.
Ning Fengzhi also walked over at this moment. When he saw Zi Zhenzhu, he immediately stopped in his tracks and frowned slightly.
Yue Guan said, "Your Majesty, Sect Leader Ning, Zi Zhenzhu is representing Seagod Island. She's practically family from her own side, so there's no problem with her sitting here!"
Emperor Xueye wanted to change tables, but when he turned around, he saw that all the other tables were already full, and they had nowhere to go.
Left with no other choice, the two had to sit down next to Purple Pearl!
