Chapter 122: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Chen Jiu's trip to Japan was quite rewarding. He caught a lot of ghosts.
The monkey demons were blessed this time. They had been drained of their blood and energy by the Great Desolation Divine Cauldron these days, and taking Blood Soul Pills every day could not replenish their energy. With so many soups stewed by the demon kings to eat at will, not only did they replenish their energy and blood, but their blood and energy were even greatly enhanced.
When the brothers Luo Yong and Luo Meng heard that there was something delicious to eat again, they ran over happily without Chen Jiu having to send anyone to deliver it to them.
They were too lazy to make it, and their cooking skills were not as good as the old fox fairy's. Now that the imperial army had retreated and the Zhao family didn't dare to come, they had nothing to guard. There was ready-made delicious food here, so it was natural for them to come and eat it happily.
The old fox fairy was extremely kind to the two brothers, stewing, braising, frying, and roasting them in countless different ways, and the two brothers ate so well that their mouths were drooling and they were full of praise.
Although Chen Jiu was busy practicing during this period, he often accompanied his two brothers-in-law and Luo Li and others to eat meat and drink wine. He lived a very comfortable life.
At noon that day, the old fox fairy prepared another large table. As usual, Chen Jiu came to the main hall at the foot of Linlang Peak. Luo Li, Jiaona and the others also came. Even Patriarch Hongyun came after hearing the news. Everyone was talking and laughing, and they enjoyed the meal very much.
When everyone was enjoying the wine, it suddenly went dark outside the hall, and the huge figure of Fu Qingfeng walked in quickly, clasped his hands and bowed, saying: "Your Highness, the Japanese pirates are coming again, and this time they have come in several groups. Qingzhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, and Laizhou Prefecture have reported that they have found traces of the Japanese pirates."
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
The Japanese pirates hadn't come for several days, and he thought these guys were scared of him.
It turned out that they had agreed to come together. It was estimated that traces of Japanese pirates would appear in Nanzhili and even further south at the same time, but the journey was too far and it would take longer for the bat soldiers there to arrive.
Is this an attempt to make him too busy to handle everything, or is there some other conspiracy?
Seeing this, Luo Li couldn't help but ask with concern: "Ajiu, what's wrong?"
Chen Jiu said solemnly, "Those immortals from Japan are actually quite capable. A few bat soldiers and bean soldiers cannot defeat an immortal, so I sent more bat soldiers to take turns to investigate at sea. I'm afraid they are well prepared this time, and there may be more than just the Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou groups coming."
So that's how it is.
Luo Li thought about it and said carefully: "How about asking my brother and the others to go to Nanzhili for you?"
Patriarch Hongyun also nodded slowly and said, "I can also go with them to take a look."
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "They don't necessarily want me to be too busy to handle everything. I'm just afraid they have other conspiracies."
Luo Li couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What should we do then?"
Chen Jiu thought about it and said simply: "Let's go over there first. If they just want me to be too busy, it won't be too late to let the ancestor take your brother and the others to Nanzhili."
After saying that, he directly took everyone, along with the tables and chairs, into the Immortal Palace.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned the Honghuang Divine Cauldron and fled directly to the seaside south of Qingzhou Prefecture.
It was still the same beach, and there were still three Japanese ships. However, this time the pirates did not have time to land because the bat soldiers were out at sea to investigate, and they were much faster than them.
Chen Jiu extended his spiritual sense to take a look and couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.
It seems that these three ships of Japanese pirates are not from the same family, because their flags and the marks on their headbands are different. What are the generals and family elders?
He scanned the flag carefully and recognized these words.
This bunch of Japanese pirates, they dare to come here knowing that they are going to die?
He thought about it and simply let the Honghuang Divine Cauldron take him to the middle ship. He made a lightning-fast move, grabbed the armored general and sucked him in.
This qi and blood is equivalent to that of a more powerful demon king.
He thought that those immortals in Japan were not afraid of death, but it turns out that what they sent were just cannon fodder. These generals and family elders might be able to defeat one or two bean soldiers and bat soldiers, but in front of them, you are just a dish of food.
What is he trying to do? Is he trying to test how far the Primordial Divine Cauldron can dodge, or is he trying to consume his strength?
To be honest, he was a little confused.
The Japanese pirates were also frightened by his move.
They were just staring at the bat soldiers in the sky when a huge tripod suddenly appeared on the shore. Then, a man suddenly appeared on the boat in the middle, raised his hand and sucked the general away.
This is the big devil!
The other two ships were so scared that they turned around and ran away, while the Japanese pirates on the middle ship all jumped into the sea like dumplings.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but frowned slightly.
These guys ran so decisively, just like bait.
He was a little afraid to chase it. What if it was a bait? If he chased it, he would probably fall into the trap.
At this moment, he didn't even dare to let the Primordial Divine Cauldron carry him around. If the Primordial Divine Cauldron moved too much and couldn't move anymore, they would have no way to escape if they met the real god.
He frowned and pondered for a while, then simply called out Patriarch Hongyun, Luo Yong, Luo Meng and Fu Qingfeng, and gave them detailed instructions: "Qingfeng, take them to fly south, and if you encounter bat soldiers and bean soldiers that you can't defeat, go down and help them deal with them, and then continue flying. Remember, don't take them to the sea, kill them on the shore, and don't chase the pirates if they run away."
Fu Qingfeng hurriedly bowed and said "Yes, sir", then flew south with the excited Luo Yong, Luo Meng and the solemn-looking Old Ancestor Hong Yun.
Several Japanese immortals probably can't match the abilities of these two brothers-in-law. Besides, Patriarch Hongyun is mature and prudent, so there will be no problem for him to repel the Japanese pirates. He is just afraid that this is a trap set by the Japanese pirates.
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then he called a bat soldier and took him to fly towards Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture.
These two places are not far away. When the bat soldiers flew to Laizhou Prefecture, the Japanese pirates had just landed.
He rushed forward and grabbed a family elder and sucked his breath. The Japanese pirates turned around and ran away, retreating directly back into the sea and rushing towards the ship.
What on earth do these guys want to do?
He simply left these Japanese pirates behind and ordered the bat soldiers to continue flying towards Dengzhou Prefecture.
The Japanese pirates from Dengzhou Prefecture have all rushed ashore and are fighting fiercely with the bat soldiers and bean soldiers.
He simply scanned with his spiritual sense, then drew out Kaitian, rushed forward, and swung the sword like lightning. Hundreds of Japanese pirates were killed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the Japanese ships on the sea turned around and ran away without any hesitation.
Chen Jiu frowned and thought for a while as he looked at the Japanese ship sailing away, then simply ordered the bat soldiers to take him and fly south.
Fortunately, Luo Yong and Luo Meng were very capable. The Japanese pirates along the way were either scared away or killed to pieces by them, and the bat soldiers and bean soldiers did not suffer any injuries.
However, it was obvious that the Japanese pirates had come together after discussing it.
He changed several bat soldiers along the way and flew twenty or thirty thousand miles along the coastline. He saw countless groups of Japanese pirates. It was not until he flew near Jiaozhou that he met Fu Qingfeng, Patriarch Hongyun, and brothers Luo Yong and Luo Meng who were flying back.
She flew for several days and was really tired. The brothers Luo Yong and Luo Meng were exhausted from killing so many people, but Patriarch Hongyun was the only one who remained calm.
He thought about it and simply let Fu Qingfeng and the bat soldiers land on an uninhabited island, and then took Patriarch Hongyun, Luo Yong and the brothers Luo Meng into the fairy palace.
At this time, Luo Li, Jiaona and others were extremely worried.
As soon as she appeared, Luo Li couldn't help but ask, "Are you all okay? What took so long?"
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "We are fine, just a little tired. These pirates are really crazy. They knew we were here to be cannon fodder but still rushed over without caring about their lives. We flew 20,000 to 30,000 miles. I don't know what they want to do."
Patriarch Hongyun frowned slightly and said, "Yes, these pirates are obviously abnormal. They don't look like they are here to rob."
Chen Jiu frowned and asked, "Ancestor, what do you think they want to do?"
Patriarch Hongyun frowned and pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "Are they trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Chen Jiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
This time he did not leave any important people in Jiuling Mountain. The key point was that there were a large number of magical herbs and medicines in the Dihuo Cave.
If those magical herbs and elixirs were stolen by the Japanese pirates, it would be a heavy loss.
The Japanese pirates wouldn't really use this trick, right?
He frowned and thought for a while, then simply waved his hand and said, "Take good care of the ancestors, the eldest brother and the second brother. I have to let the bat soldiers take me back quickly."
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
