Chapter 135: Return

“So these things like to eat poison? Understood . ” Patelocke nodded . They were now within the room . “It seems like these microscopic organisms were bred to try and create a poisonous organism so they could use it . ”

Su Chen said, “That’s what I thought as well . I tried it out already; this kind of organism is extremely interested in any organism that is poisonous, especially poison from living animals . Their interest in artificially manufactured poison from the lab is much less . In addition, they not only consume poison, but they can also release it . They release the poison that they consume, but the quality of the poison they release is much worse than their ability to eat it . This is probably because they use poison as food and convert some of that poison into sustenance . ”

Patelocke thought differently . He said, “It might also be because they aren’t a ‘completed product’ yet because the creator hasn’t perfected them yet . ”

“That’s possible, but these creatures are already quite impressive . Having them is the same as having a poison-type Origin Tool, and they are multipotent,” Su Chen said as he whistled a few times . The Beast Hide within the box turned into a black armband that wrapped around his hand .

After awakening them, Su Chen used his consciousness power to interact with them, and they know acknowledged him as their master .

Upon being awakened, these microscopic organisms wouldn’t need to remain dormant in the box anymore . They could move as they pleased and even self-divide as long as they were fed a bit of poison every so often . Poison was their food; if they were kept outside of the box without any poison to eat, they would starve to death .

“Give them a name,” Patelocke said .

“Oh . Let’s call them the Devouring Poison Fog,” Su Chen said .

The armband around his hand suddenly morphed into a small white cloud of fog .

These microscopic organisms were so small that their shapes couldn’t be seen at all . All the human eye could capture was a wave of rolling dense fog .

Even though most of the microscopic organisms had died because the Sea of Clouds Pavilion had spent nearly thirty years tormenting them, making it so that this fog had a limited area of effect . The amount of poison they could spit out was also limited, but if Su Chen took care of them, they would be able to become stronger .

Su Chen felt incredibly happy . He had obtained an incredible steal by buying this Devouring Poison Fog for only seventy thousand Origin Stones .

Su Chen had remained in Long Coiling City for close to a month . It was about time to return . If he didn’t go back soon, Jiang Xishui was probably going to start cursing at him in the streets – because Jiang Xishui’s influence had started to grow, the Bloodline Nobility Clans had unleashed two Light Shaking attacks against the Third River Army .

However, Jiang Xishui had been able to resist twice . With his Primordial Beast Bloodline and them fighting on water, as well as the support of a bunch of pirates with the Hemolytic Totem, Jiang Xishui had enough power to defend themselves .

The Third River Army, however, also paid quite a heavy price . A few experts that Jiang Xishui had personally trained also died . This was why Jiang Xishui was pushing for Su Chen to return so hard .

After two unsuccessful attacks, they might send two Light Shaking Realm cultivators next time .

Su Chen could only return helplessly .

Before going, Su Chen handed the vial of Awakening Medicine to Gu Qingluo – he had finished his analysis of the medicine and gave the remaining amount to her . As for whether or not the remaining amount of Awakening Medicine would be able to be useful to that elder depended on his luck . In any case, it hadn’t required any of his money, had it?

On the day of separation, Su Chen and Gu Qingluo stared at each other wordlessly .

They tightly embraced, unwilling to leave .

Su Chen said to Gu Qingluo, “Wait for me . The next time I come, I will come on a iridescent cloud to take you as my wife . ”

Descending on an iridescent cloud to take the girl he loved as his wife was something people on this continent liked to say to express their love for someone . It wasn’t just empty words but rather a promise, a kind of expectation and hope .

This was because only a person in the Light Shaking Realm could descend on a cloud . As such, this sentence in and of itself represented a kind of deadline, qualification mark, and a pledge .

Yes, that was what Su Chen was thinking .

The moment he became a Light Shaking Realm cultivator would be the moment that he would descend from a cloud to take Gu Qingluo as his wife .

Gu Qingluo stared at Su Chen with happiness . She nodded . “Okay, I will wait for you!”

Su Chen hugged Gu Qingluo tightly before turning around to enter the Flood Dragon Emperor Shuttle, but they still held each others hands tightly .

Finally, Gu Jintang said helplessly, “If you can’t bear to leave apart, come back down and hug for a bit longer . ”

Su Chen let her go .

The Cloud Thunder Flood Dragon Emperor Shuttle suddenly trembled . With a bright flash of light and a thunderous boom, the shuttle shot into the sky like a streak of lightning, disappearing from view quickly .

————————————

The Cloud Thunder Flood Dragon Emperor Shuttle was incredibly fast . In but a single day, Su Chen arrived at Clear River City from Long Coiling City .

Instead of returning directly to the Su Palace, Su Chen headed straight for the Jade Heart Island .

Jade Heart Island had changed a lot . The island was once littered with all kinds of flags, but most of them had disappeared . Only the Third River Army’s flag remained floating high . This clearly demonstrated the dominance that the Third River Army now had .

The pirates were not disorderly like before either . They wore the same uniform and did things according to established standards and regulations . Even the way they walked had begun to look the same .

The island’s docks were always being watched 24/7 by dedicated guards . If anyone dared cause trouble, they would immediately be captured and punished severely .

The Jade Heart Island became very orderly as a result; no trace of the barbaric and chaotic pirate society from before could be seen . It looked like the headquarters of a trained navy . All that was missing was the imperial flag and combat frigates .

It had to be said that nobility like Jiang Xishui truly had some ability . He had turned a bunch of pirates into soldiers .

Even so, they might not be able to face a Light Shaking Realm cultivator with his support .

The Flood Dragon Emperor Shuttle descended near the central hall of the Third River Army’s headquarters .

The instant it descended, countless pirates swarmed around it as if it were a frightening enemy, and even glimmers of Origin Formations being activated could be seen .

But when they saw Su Chen and the others disembarking from the shuttle, the pirates let out a collective sigh of relief .

One of the pirate leaders stepped forward and said, “Greetings to Bureau Head Su . Bureau Head, you’re finally here . ”

Su Chen stowed the Flood Dragon Emperor Shuttle away . “Where is your captain?”

“Captain is in the central hall . ”

Su Chen, Cloud Leopard, and Iron Cliff walked towards the central hall .

Within the central hall, Jiang Xishui was jabbing and pointing at an illusory map of Jade Heart Island . “We’ll put the Air Breaking Formation here and put some Dove Snake powder here as well . Beneath that, we’ll put forty-nine aligned arrows . Doesn’t that old bastard Shen Yuanhong like to fight in the air? I’ll break his wings and beat him up on the ground!”

“Captain Jiang, what a temper you have! I felt a wave of killing intent from outside the front door,” Su Chen laughed as he walked in .

When he heard that voice, Jiang Xishui’s eyes lit up . “You brat, you’re finally here . ”
