The Qunyi Alliance was formed from thirty-six pirate gangs in the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago. Due to its short establishment time and the fact that it was conquered by Fengheng force, the internal members not only lacked cohesion, but also had many mountains.
Normally, no one obeys anyone on any of the mountains, but five of them are the most powerful. The leaders of these five mountains are all Three Tribulations Human Immortals. This shows that although the Qunyi Alliance is loose, its strength cannot be underestimated.
Excluding Fengheng and these five mountains, the overthrowing pirate Zheng Jiao is definitely the largest force.
He is the best at winning people's hearts, and there are quite a few Erjie Immortals who are friendly with him or who follow his lead. This makes him a force that cannot be ignored in the Qunyi Alliance. Normally, the major mountains are not willing to offend him easily.
Zheng Jiao will make good friends with them, win over people, and even coax and deceive them to support him as the new alliance leader. The second thing to do is to win over other pirates except the five big mountains.
The methods do not include coercion, inducement, suppression and elimination.
Zheng Jiao and his friends began to conquer other hills from near to far, which caused a stir for a while. At this time, Li Zhen had already returned to the Immortal Island with his troops and learned what Zheng Jiao had done.
What you did.
Li Zhen now has all of Feng Heng's wealth and is extremely rich. After completely controlling the Immortal Islands, he begins to practice in seclusion. He will wait until Zheng Jiao asks him for help before he helps.
Now the demon elixir of the octopus demon in Li Zhen's body has not yet been completely refined. If there hadn't been a lot of things recently, he might have been promoted to the upper realm of true essence with the help of it.
Li Zhen has just been promoted to the True Essence Middle Realm. Logically speaking, he should consolidate his cultivation level during this period. However, there are too many pills and treasures to improve his cultivation level, so he can only reluctantly continue to climb. As for the unstable foundation, he will just throw it away.
behind the head.
For him, improving his realm is the top priority at this stage.
"Brother Shang! The matters on the island have been settled. I am going to retreat for a while. Are you interested in retreating with me?"
Li Zhen invited Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang was not serious about his practice, and he had resources that ordinary people could not match. He was so blessed that he did not know how to be blessed. Li Zhen wanted to urge him to practice well when conditions allowed. The higher the cultivation level, there would only be benefits, but no benefits.
harm.
Furthermore, Jiang Shang is a 'living ginseng'. The higher his cultivation level, the greater his safety will be. After all, relying on external things is not a long-term solution.
"Oops! Brother Zhen, you have just arrived at the Immortal Island and will be in seclusion for a few days. It's so boring. Why don't you play with me for two more days? I haven't had enough yet."
When he first arrived at the Immortal Island, Jiang Shang was new to everything and enjoyed it every day. When he was in high spirits, if you asked him to retreat, you would undoubtedly punish him.
"From now on, the Immortal Islands are our own territory. When is it not good to have fun? Why don't you retreat with me? I can help you improve..."
Jiang Shang became impatient after listening to Li Zhen's earnest persuasion. He turned around and walked away, saying as he walked: "I don't want to practice in seclusion. If you want to go into seclusion, go yourself. Don't drag me along. I just found an interesting place here.
Have a good time."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Shang set up the lotus seal and flew away directly. Li Zhen looked at his back with a look of helplessness.
"Someone is coming!"
Li Zhen shook his head and called someone over.
"Young Master! What are your orders?"
An old man came to Li Zhen respectfully. The person who came was Yuan Jing, the Immortal of the First Tribulation who was the first to surrender.
Yuan Jing used to work under Feng Heng, but because he was not a direct lineage, he was not highly valued and was usually assigned to do the hardest and most tiring work. Now the situation has changed, and he has become Li Zhen's confidant, and his status has skyrocketed.
Song Hao and his three friends, whom he ignored, all bowed first to show their respect when they saw him.
The change in status brought him great satisfaction, causing him to obey Li Zhen's orders.
"I will be in seclusion starting today. You will be responsible for the affairs of the island, especially Shangdi's safety. You must ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Li Zhen arranged.
"Don't worry, young master! Even if the sky falls, I will ensure that Mr. Shang will remain unscathed."
Yuan Jing assured with a firm attitude.
Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, then dismissed Yuan Jing and began to retreat.
During this retreat, he hopes to advance to the upper realm of True Essence.
Now he has hundreds of precious elixirs in his hand, and even with a pile of elixirs, he can pile them up to the highest level of true essence.
After Li Zhen went into seclusion, Zheng Jiao, who had been smoothly recruiting the thirty-six thieves of the Qunyi Alliance, soon encountered a bottleneck.
Golden Lion Island, the territory of the Golden Lion Thief, one of the thirty-six thieves.
The Golden Lion Thief is one of the five major mountains in the Qunyi Alliance. The island owner is also known as the "Golden Lion King" because of his blond golden beard. This man has a rough and cruel temperament and is murderous. Because of his powerful strength, the Ten Thousand Stars Islands include the group.
Many members of the Yi Meng dared not speak out in anger, but only Feng Heng relied on the puppets from the ground to cure him.
Now that the news of Fengheng's murder has spread in the Wanxing Islands, Kuijing Sect did not deliberately publicize it, but for such a big thing, there were many people talking at the time, so it was inevitable that it would spread.
Most people cheered Feng Heng's death, because Feng Heng's death meant that the Ten Thousand Stars Archipelago was freed from a major scourge. For the ambitious, it meant that the mountain above them was gone and they could take the lead and claim the throne.
"What?! Feng Heng is really dead?"
In the main hall of Golden Lion Island, a middle-aged man with a wild beard asked in a rough voice: "Where did the news come from? Is it true?"
"The news came from the Kingdom of Shark, saying that Feng Ling died at the hands of the Kuijing Sect. Feng Heng went to take revenge, but found out that the murderer was a young man from Dongsheng Shenzhou who came to the Wanxing Islands to visit. His name was Li Zhen.
The two of them fought, but Feng Heng was defeated and killed by his opponent."
Subordinate reports.
The golden lion thief frowned when he heard this.
Once Feng Heng died, the mountain that was weighing on him disappeared, and he could live happily and unscrupulously in the future. However, the next words of his subordinates made him disillusioned.
"Island Master! I heard that the pirate Zheng Jiao has surrendered to the young man named Li Zhen and has begun to recruit the thirty-six thieves to serve Li Zhen. Zheng Jiao has even claimed to be the new leader of the Qunyi Alliance."
"What?!"
When the Golden Lion Thief heard this, he was furious on the spot.
How can Zheng Jiao be the leader of the island of Qunyi Alliance?
And that young man Li Zhen from Dongsheng Shenzhou actually intended to take control of the Qunyi Alliance, which meant that one Feng Heng died and another 'Feng Heng' came.
"That person named Li Zhen can kill Feng Heng. He must be very powerful. Have you heard about what kind of cultivation this person has?"
Although the Golden Lion Thief has always been arrogant and reckless, he is not a brainless person. If Li Zhen was able to kill Feng Heng, his strength must be very impressive. After all, the Golden Lion Thief is still aware of Feng Heng's strength and methods.
"I heard that you only have True Yuan realm cultivation."
"fart!
Hearing this, the Golden Lion Thief glared at his men fiercely and said angrily: "Where did you hear these rumors? He is only in the True Yuan realm, and even if I arm him with all the earth-level magic weapons, I can't kill him.
Feng Heng."
When the subordinates saw that their island master was angry, they immediately knelt on the ground with a frightened sound and kowtowed: "Island Master! I have heard about it too, but I don't know the specific information."
The Golden Lion Thief kills people whenever he is unhappy, and his subordinates are really worried about their lives.
"snort!"
The golden lion thief snorted coldly and ordered: "Quickly find out the information for me. I want the exact information. Even if Feng Heng and the man named Li Zhen had a few moves and what methods they used, they must find out clearly. Whenever there is any
Wrong, I'll kill you and beat you to death."
"I obey my orders! I obey your orders! Make sure you inquire carefully."
After receiving the order, his subordinates hurriedly kowtowed to accept the order and left in despair.
Feng Heng's death was originally a very happy thing, but Li Zhen wanted to conquer the Qunyi Alliance, which made the Golden Lion Thief feel like he was having a hard time and couldn't be happy.
This situation not only happened to the Golden Lion Bandit, the other four mountains of the Qunyi League also received the news of Feng Heng's murder. They also expressed great resistance to Li Zhen taking over the Qunyi League, but everyone is smart.
, did not jump out, but watched the changes, obviously they are all old foxes.
·············································
In just one month, through unremitting efforts, Zheng Jiao had subdued all the pirates except the five major mountains.
Zheng Jiao knew that he would face the hardest nut to crack next, and he was very discerning. If he came to visit, he would definitely be too long-lived, so he sent an invitation to the five mountains and invited them to the Immortal Island in the name of Li Zhen.
gather.
If they don't come, Zheng Jiao can use the reason of contempt for Li Zhen to advise Li Zhen and ask Li Zhen to deal with it. It would be better if they come, and the rest of the matter can be left to Li Zhen. Whether it succeeds or fails depends on it.
It doesn't matter to him.
It's really hard for him to grow up all by himself.
In addition to these major things, Zheng Jiao's private life was not idle during this period.
Zheng Zhilong was his only son, and he had doted on him since he was a child. After his only son died, not only could he not take revenge, but he had to work for his enemies. In order to make up for the psychological imbalance, Zheng Jiao robbed many beauties and brought them to the island to play and sing every night, preparing to have another one.
Son or even a bunch of sons to fill Zheng Zhilong's position.
Such an idea is quite embarrassing.
Not long ago, Zheng Jiao led people to visit the Immortal Islands.
At this time, the person in charge of the island was Jiang Shang, who was eating, drinking and having fun every day.
Today, I was playing in the waters near Qunxian Island. I saw Zheng Jiao coming with the eighteen thieves he had subdued. He went straight to Qunxian Island, blocked the way, and said in a swaggering voice: "Who are you? What are you doing here at Qunxian Island?"
Jiang Shang looked at his low strength and young age, but he was very courageous. When facing nearly twenty immortals, he looked frightened and asked questions in a reproachful tone.
"You little bastard, you're blind. Who gave you the courage to block my way?"
A man behind Zheng Jiao pointed his halberd at Jiang Shang and yelled angrily. The others looked at Jiang Shang playfully, thinking that Jiang Shang was really audacious and did not know whether to live or die.
Although Zheng Jiao had no contact with Jiang Shang, he had met him in Kuijing Sect. He knew that this boy had an unusual relationship with Li Zhen, so he quickly glared at the man who spoke so freely and called him an idiot. Even if he didn't know Jiang Shang's identity, a person
The young man can fly with the help of earth-grade magic weapon, which shows that his status is extraordinary. Wouldn't he offend others with such reckless words?
Zheng Jiao stepped forward and saluted politely: "Young master, you are polite. I am the pirate Zheng Jiao. Today I came to the Immortal Islands to meet with Young Master Li Zhen."
"It turns out to be you!"
Jiang Shang had met Zheng Jiao, also in Kuijing Sect, but the two sides did not have too deep contact. It was only a one-time relationship. Jiang Shang had long forgotten about it, but he still knew that there was such a person who was subdued by Brother Zhen and is now a grown man.
A pawn in front of the horse.
Jiang Shang did not like Zheng Jiao, not only because of Zheng Zhilong, but also because Zheng Jiao once wanted to kill Li Zhen.
"I have something important to do and I need to meet with you, young master. Please be accommodating."
Zheng Jiao said with a flattering smile.
Although Jiang Shang didn't like him, he knew that he was now under Brother Zhen. He nodded and said, "Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shang ran to play somewhere else again.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Jiao led a group of troops to the island to meet Yuan Jing, and learned about Li Zhen's retreat from Yuan Jing's mouth.
"Now that I have sent invitations to those five guys, they will all come over. If the young master is not here, how to deal with them? I also ask Brother Yuan to report it."
Yuan Jing's status is different now. Zheng Jiao has to use greetings when speaking. I remember that when Li Zhen and Zheng Jiao first came, Zheng Jiao didn't look at him.
Yuan Jing also knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded and said: "Island owners, wait a moment in the main hall, I will go and inform the young master."
Zheng Jiao and the eighteen thieves were waiting in the main hall, while Yuan Jing went to Li Zhen's retreat.
At this time, with the help of demon pills and various medicinal powers, Li Zhen had already shown signs of breaking through in cultivation. However, it was not easy to advance to the next level, so he never crossed the threshold. And just when Li Zhen tried hard, Yuan Jing's
The sound rang outside.
"Old slave Yuan Jing, I have something important to report to my young master."
Li Zhen was trying hard to break through the realm, but when he was interrupted by Yuan Jing, he was immediately discouraged and furious.
"damn it!"
Li Zhen cursed angrily, then used his energy to regulate his energy and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What happened?"
Yuan Jing was outside the room, respectfully informing him of Zheng Jiao's coming to the island with Shiba and the invitations he sent to the five mountains.
Hearing this, Li Zhen nodded and said, "You go down first, I'll be there in a moment."
"Old slave, please resign!"
After Yuan Jing left, Li Zhen snorted and scolded Zheng Jiao for being slippery, but it was just a casual scolding, because he knew that with Zheng Jiao's ability, it was impossible to deal with the five mountains, and he would definitely have to take action himself in the end.
However, it would be better to invite all the five mountaintops to solve the problem at once to avoid trouble.
Li Zhen tidied up for a while and then went to the main hall.
At the same time, Yuan Jing had already been waiting outside the palace. When he saw Li Zhen arriving, he rushed to Zheng Jiao and others inside and said: "Young Master is here!"
At this time, not only Zheng Jiao and the Eighteen Thieves were present in the hall, but Song Hao and three others were also present. After hearing this, they quickly got up and came outside the hall to greet Li Zhen.
More than twenty First and Second Tribulation Immortals came out to greet him respectfully. He had never enjoyed such a scene when he was the most favored.
Putting aside the five major mountains, just having the loyalty of these immortals is enough for him to make a comeback in China.
But relying on them alone is not enough to take revenge or seize the throne. Only when the five mountains are loyal to him can it be possible to fulfill their wishes.
"Subordinate Zheng Jiao!"
"Subordinate Song Hao!"
"Subordinate Yuan Jing!"
"Old slave..."
"…………"
"See you, young master! May you be safe, young master!"
