 Chapter 1843 (Raw 1854): A Pirate’s Heart

 Xiao Chen’s bow out of nowhere confused the little monk . He half-cried-half-laughed as he said, “Big Brother, I am not an esteemed monk or a Buddha . There is no point in paying respects or praying to me . Both of us still have to die here . ”

 However, right after the little monk spoke, he saw a large Buddha image behind Xiao Chen .

 That Buddha image smiled, emanating a supreme Buddhist Might .

 That was not the strangest thing . The strangest thing was that this large Buddha image seemed to be smiling at him .

 “Who said that we would die here?”

 Xiao Chen looked up and smiled at the little monk, feeling closer to him .

 “That’s not it! Big Brother, I saw a Buddha behind you earlier!” The little monk was incredibly shocked . Fearing that Xiao Chen would not believe him, he said in a serious tone, “It’s true! It really was a great Buddha . Furthermore, he even smiled at me . ”

 Of course, Xiao Chen believed him . However, he did not tell Yan Chen the reason . “Illusion . It’s just an illusion . ”

 “Just an illusion? It’s clearly not . Oh, right, Big Brother, did you just say that we won’t have to die here?” the little monk said in pleasant surprise, his attention diverted .

 Xiao Chen nodded . “I never said that we would definitely die if we couldn’t find an exit . It is just that we will have to take some risks . ”

 “What is the method?” the little monk asked curiously, his interest piqued .

 Xiao Chen did not answer . He only took out the Scarlet Blood War Banner and grasped it tightly with his hands .

 Then, he closed his eyes and sensed around for the Black Cutlass that was wandering the Ash Gray Sea . His essence blood and soul were already merged with the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation .

 No matter how far the Black Cutlass was, as long as Xiao Chen focused, he could sense it .

 This was because the Black Cutlass was already a part of him .

 I see it . I see it…

 A scene slowly appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind . Xiao Suo and the others were on the Black Cutlass, sailing on the sea in that scene .

 People moved about the ship . The strange Black Cutlass had a layer of blood mist covering it as it bobbed with the waves .

 Xiao Chen’s consciousness slowly entered the Black Cutlass . Soon, he saw the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation at the bottom floor .

 There was a terrifying heartbeat in the depths of the scarlet formation, pounding away heavily .

 An extremely terrifying ferocious beast seemed to be grinning amid the hazy blood mist .

 As the little monk stood beside Xiao Chen, he suddenly sensed a terrifying Demonic Might coming from him .

 Xiao Chen’s long hair fluttered about, and his eyes turned pitch-black, filled with demonic nature . No one would dare to look directly at his eyes .

 Slowly, this Demonic Might strengthened . If not for the Heart Force here blocking it, it would have soared into the sky and manifested a great mysterious phenomenon .

 “Not good . ”

 The little monk sensed that something was not right . He quickly rolled away on the ground .

 “Bang!” A demonic ship with blood mist spreading all over it appeared out of nowhere .

 Xiao Chen stood at the bow of the ship as Xiao Suo and the others, who were in the ship, charged out onto the deck . They were all on their guard and appeared confused .

 When everyone saw Xiao Chen, who was at the bow, their expressions relaxed .

 “Young Master Xiao, what is going on?” Elder Tang and the others asked, still confused .

 “I’ll tell you later . Xiao Suo, come over here . ”

 Xiao Chen turned around and withdrew his Demonic Might, reverting to his usual self, and looked at Xiao Suo .

 Xiao Suo felt that something was off . His instinct told him that something big was about to happen to him .

 “Big Brother, what’s wrong?” Xiao Suo asked Xiao Chen, feeling anxious and nervous .

 Xiao Chen did not say anything . He spread his palm, and the Faux God Flame that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King left behind appeared, hovering in the air .

 Senior, what do you think of this person?

 This is the person you chose for me? His talent is average, very ordinary . He is rather old .

 Just when Xiao Chen thought that it would not work out, the Faux God Flame changed tunes as its voice rang out in his mind again .  However, he does indeed have a pure pirate’s heart . This is something you lack but is the thing I value the most . Back then, I possessed average talents and resources as well . As long as one maintains a pure pirate’s heart, one can become a legendary Pirate King . This is no exception, no matter what age it is .

 Xiao Chen smiled faintly . It was indeed more or less what he expected . Back then, when the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s will said that he lacked something, he already guessed that he lacked a pirate’s heart .

 That was not where Xiao Chen’s ambitions lay . How could he have a pirate’s heart? That was very normal .

 “Xiao Suo, this clump of flame represents the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance . Today, I will pass this fortuitous encounter to you on behalf of Senior Scarlet Blood Pirate King . I hope that you will not let down the reputation of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King and that you maintain your own pirate’s heart,” Xiao Chen said seriously, emphasizing every word .

 “Big Brother…I… This fortuitous encounter is too great . I cannot accept it . I do not have great ambition . I am satisfied with just being able to drift about the great sea for the rest of my life . Big Brother, you are the one—” Xiao Suo wanted to say more, but Xiao Chen directly cut him off .

 “Stop arguing . Back then, even I overlooked the Scarlet Blood War Banner in that auction . It was you . You were the one who personally bid for this war banner . It is fated by heaven . This fortuitous encounter was prepared by heaven for you, Xiao Suo,” Xiao Chen said with a smile .

 Before Xiao Suo could refuse, the Faux God Flame in Xiao Chen’s hand directly shot into Xiao Suo’s forehead .

 “Whoosh!”

 A fierce flame immediately blazed on Xiao Suo’s body . An incredibly vast aura surged out from him .

 Without exception, Xiao Chen and the others on the deck were swept away by this aura .

 The Iron Hand Yama and Elder Tang, who were rather knowledgeable, were petrified on the spot, feeling extremely shocked .

 “Faux God Flame . This is the legendary Faux God Flame . ”

 The Iron Hand Yama muttered, “It really is a Faux God Flame . Furthermore, it is the Faux God Flame of the legendary Scarlet Blood Pirate King . ”

 Suddenly, the Iron Hand Yama thought of something . He looked at Xiao Chen and asked, “Xiao Chen, did you snatch it from Yan Zhe?”

 Xiao Chen shook his head and replied, “No . ”

 Indeed, Xiao Chen had not . He had taken it right before the eyes of ten or so Holy Venerates, including Yan Zhe, and many Demonic Dao sect true inheritors .

 “Where is Yan Zhe?”

 Elder Tang and the Iron Hand Yama looked around, feeling cautious and fearful .

 Clearly, Yan Zhe had made a huge impression on these two, practically an insurmountable mental barrier .

 The little monk Yan Chen ran over happily, showing a cocky expression as he said, “Hehe! I killed him with one saber strike . ”

 “Where did this little baldy come from? Just focus on chanting your scriptures and stop stirring things up here . ”

 The Iron Hand Yama stared in bewilderment at the little monk, not believing him at all . If it were in the past, when he had a bad temper, he would have directly shoved the little monk away .

 Xiao Chen said softly, “Yan Zhe did indeed die at his hands . Without him, I would not have survived . Let me make some introductions . He is a Buddhist sect expert of the Central Great Realm . His nickname is…”

 “Ahem! Ahem!” The little monk coughed in protest .

 Xiao Chen smiled and continued, “His nickname is not important . Most importantly, Yan Zhe did die at his hands . There is no need to worry about Yan Zhe appearing again in the future . ”

 The Iron Hand Yama and Elder Tang showed shocked expressions, disbelief written across their faces as they gaped at the little monk .

 However, since Xiao Chen said it, it was definitely true .

 “It was just a matter of convenience . Seniors, there is no need to be too shocked . ”

 The little monk Yan Chen smiled faintly with the air of an expert .

 “Whoosh!”

 Just at this moment, Xiao Suo’s aura quickly withdrew .

 In the next moment, he opened his eyes, and a brilliant light flashed in them before disappearing .

 Xiao Suo’s cultivation did not improve, but his gaze seemed deep and calm . Everyone now felt that he was extraordinary .

 The Iron Hand Yama and Elder Tang both showed envious expressions .

 Of course, the two did not have any complaints . Xiao Chen risked his life to obtain this Faux God Flame .

 The two would not mind, no matter whom Xiao Chen gave the inheritance to . It was just a little hard not to feel disappointed .

 “Big Brother . ”

 Xiao Suo leaped over and landed before Xiao Chen . Then, Xiao Chen nodded slightly .

 “I’ve already obtained the complete memories of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King . Although the treasures on the stone pillars are hard to take out, the entire body of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King is a huge treasure trove . What you saw is merely the tip of the iceberg . ”

 Xiao Suo’s aura was now much stabler . As he spoke about this shocking matter, he was extremely calm and unflustered .

 Xiao Chen was not surprised at Xiao Suo’s words . He knew that the entire one hundred thousand great peaks were the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body . Just the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body alone already had immeasurable value .

 However, this was not what Xiao Chen was concerned about at the moment . He said, “Right now, there are some Sovereign Personages in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body . We are also trapped here and cannot get out . ”

 Xiao Suo smiled calmly . “This is simple . ”

 Xiao Suo gently snapped his fingers . A mark appeared in the bodies of Xiao Chen and the others .

 In the next moment, Xiao Suo snapped his fingers again . “Done . I sent out those people who don’t have the Scarlet Blood Mark on their bodies . The cave entrance is also closed . After I inherited the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s will, even if Sovereign Personages gather in this place, they will have to obey the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s will .

 “Come, let’s go to the blazing sea of blood . The Scarlet Blood Warship that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King left behind is there!”
