Chapter 549: Each with their own agenda
Lu Sandao immediately bowed and said: "Don't worry, bosses, this business will definitely satisfy everyone."
He had no idea about this matter. After all, it was a temporary idea. The two were just acting. They could only put their hopes on Yu Changsheng.
"Boss Yu, tell everyone."
Yu Changsheng said: "To be honest, I am guarding a mine on Sea Beast Island. And I accidentally found a treasure in that mine!"
The fat pirate asked: "In this case, why don't you occupy it yourself and come to us for cooperation?"
Yu Changsheng remained calm and continued: "Yes, I had this plan."
"But the mining area is not under my control. There are other people from Sea Beast Island who are monitoring it, and the treasure is guarded by a fourth-level spirit beast."
"So I have to kill the guarding beast and take the treasure away by force. The people of Sea Beast Island will be alert and find something unusual."
"At that time, facing the power of Sea Beast Island, do you think I still have a way to survive?"
All pirates were trapped Deep in thought, one of the pirates said: "How can you prove that what you said is true?"
"That is, are you making up a reason to deceive us and lead us to the island?"
"Even if it is true, how will you and I work together?"
"After the matter is done, how will the treasure be divided?"
Yu Changsheng said: "Let me answer your questions one by one."
"Whether the treasure and the spirit beast really exist, you only need to send one person to go with me to see the truth."
"My plan is to let you attack the mining area and give me the opportunity to kill the spirit beast and seize the treasure."
"As long as the treasure is obtained by me, I will definitely reward you handsomely. There are so many purple mansion masters present, you are not afraid that I will regret it."
Yu Changsheng's words immediately aroused everyone's discussion.
Many pirates have gathered together and discussed privately.
Seeing this situation, Lu Sandao was relieved. It seems that this hurdle has been passed. At least let these pirates believe Yu Changsheng's words temporarily.
But soon Lu Sandao became worried again, because he knew that the so-called treasure and spirit beast did not exist at all. In this case, how Yu Changsheng would deal with it later was still a big problem.
In the distance.
The black shadow looked at the men around him and asked, "Do you think this is feasible?"
Li Lie stopped him decisively, "Boss, there must be something fishy about this. What Yu Changsheng said sounds a little true, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes."
The black shadow's eyes flickered, "Li Lie, what did you find?"
Li Lie: "Let's not talk about it first, Yu Changsheng colluded with Lu Sandao from the beginning, why didn't he let Lu Sandao attack the island?"
"In addition, the more I listen, the more I feel something is wrong. Yu Changsheng never said what the treasure was from beginning to end."
"Afterwards, he didn't say what conditions were given. It felt like a completely impromptu idea, not like a plan thought out in advance."
The black shadow did not respond, and seemed to be thinking about it. At this time, another person around him suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, some time ago, I heard that someone from the Wanxiang Sect threatened to attack all the pirates in the North Sea!"
"And the Wanxiang Sect is a force attached to the Sea Beast Island, and is also responsible for guarding the mine."
"I suspect that Yu Changsheng and Lu Sandao are connected to the Wanxiang Sect?"
On the other side, Lu Sandao also talked privately with Yu Changsheng.
Lu Sandao was still a little nervous at this moment, "Boss Yu, can you deceive them with your words?"
Yu Changsheng shook his head, making Lu Sandao even more frightened.
"What should we do? Should we take people away now? Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
Yu Changsheng decisively rejected this idea. With so many Purple Mansion True Lords, he also felt a huge pressure, and it was even more impossible for him to protect more than one million Wanxiang Sect disciples and leave alive.
He brought these disciples here, taking risks, and he had to be responsible for their lives.
"What should we do? We can't just wait here to die, right?"
Yu Changsheng said, "Although my words may not fool all of them, as long as I can fool a group of forces, there is still hope."
"Pirates are a group of profit-seeking people, and they like to take risks. As long as the benefits are big enough, they may take the initiative to step on it even if they know there is a trap."
Lu Sandao did not deny this, but not everyone is like this.
"I deliberately didn't tell them about the treasure, just to make them curious about what the treasure is."
"In this way, even if they know that my words are false, they will not give up easily. At least they will send someone to test it first."
"With this period of time as a buffer, at least our people can withdraw to the mine first. If they want to leave hostages, I will stay and personally guarantee it, which will convince them better."
Lu Sandao sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that Yu Changsheng was still a loyal person. He also attaches great importance to his subordinates, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"But what if they find out it's fake after they send someone there?"
Yu Changsheng was silent for a moment, then ordered: "On the way back, you take the opportunity to release the communication jade slip and ask Wei Lao and the others to make some arrangements to deceive these people first."
"Then, ask Wei Lao to ask for help and make some arrangements. If these pirates really want to launch a surprise attack on the mine, I will make sure they never return!"
Lu Sandao was shocked. He didn't expect Yu Changsheng to have such a big appetite this time.
There are dozens of Purple Mansion True Lords here, and at least thousands of pirates.
Such a huge force is difficult for even some major sects to deal with. How can Yu Changsheng face it with his own strength?
Lu Sandao was surprised and wondered how Yu Changsheng could do it. But he didn't dare to question Yu Changsheng's decision, so he could only remember it silently in his heart.
When the pirates finished their discussion and gathered again.
Then Li Lie started to attack first, exposing all the loopholes of Yu Changsheng before.
Facing the questioning, Yu Changsheng explained:
"The news I released was originally a way to cooperate with Lu Sandao to infiltrate the mine cave, so that Lu Sandao could see the treasure himself!"
"It's just that Lu Sandao believes that he is not an opponent with his own strength, so he came here for help."
Lu Sandao couldn't help but marvel. Yu Changsheng's reaction was really quick. He came up with a way to deal with it almost in an instant. He was more confident about this matter and felt calmer.
He immediately mocked Li Lie, "Li Lie, stop talking nonsense. We'll know whether it's true or not when the time comes."
"However, this time, your mine-hunting pirate group has no part in it. We have to cooperate with other pirate groups with orders, not with a group of cowards."
Lu Sandao no longer paid attention to Li Lie, and turned to the other pirates and said:
"My dear friends, I know that everyone doesn't believe me, but I also hope that everyone will give me Lu Sandao a chance."
"Okay, Lu Sandao, no more words."
At this time, a charming woman came out shaking a folding fan. This person was Yu Changsheng's original target, the captain of the Red Candle Pirate Group, Xue Hongmei.
"Everyone, what do you think? Let's give a unified opinion."
"I think what Lu Sandao said makes some sense. Let's take a look first."
"Yes, if Lu Sandao dares to play tricks on us, he will have no place to stand in this sea area!"
"I think, for the sake of safety, let Lu Sandao stay as a hostage!"
"This is a good idea. Let him stay as a hostage, and then send someone to see if it's true or not."
Soon, all the pirates had a unified opinion.
Although Li Lie was angry, he could do nothing about it.
Yu Changsheng also said at this time: "Lu Sandao can't stay here. He still needs to contact the people in the mine. I'll stay as a hostage!"
Lu Sandao was secretly moved. He didn't expect Yu Changsheng to really do what he said. He admired Yu Changsheng even more and secretly decided to make this happen.
Others didn't have any opinions. Anyway, as long as someone stayed, it would be fine.
After waiting for everyone to reach an agreement, the pirates sent a Purple Mansion True Lord to follow Lu Sandao back to the mine to find out.
Yu Changsheng was controlled by the pirates, and was strictly guarded by two Purple Mansion True Lords.
Seeing this, Li Lie and the pirate group behind him did not stop them and could only leave in anger.
Wanxiang Sect.
A message jade slip fell into Wei Lao's hands. After seeing the contents of the message jade slip, Wei Lao immediately stood up and did not hesitate to call the Purple Mansion True Lord of Wanxiang Sect who stayed behind to discuss the matter.
After all, the two of them were also Purple Mansion True Lords. It was not a problem to get a fourth-level beast and create some strange phenomena revealed by precious treasures.
Moreover, the location was designed to be very hidden, and it looked like it was really discovered by accident.
When Lu Sandao and the pirates came to the place where the treasure was, they were immediately shocked by the breath of the treasure.
In his heart, he was even more convinced that this thing must be a rare treasure in the world, and he almost wanted to snatch it.
If it weren't for Lu Sandao and Wei Lao, two Zifu Zhenjun masters beside him, Lu Sandao doubted whether this guy could hold it. He would probably take the risk of being discovered and forcefully rob.
When the man left the mine, he completely believed Lu Sandao's words and promised to tell the truth to others.
Lu Sandao didn't believe this guy and followed him back.
As for the other crew members and the Zifu Zhenjun of Wanxiang Sect, they naturally stayed in the mine, and the two of them didn't need to take a boat to get there.
The two went back to report. Wei Lao summoned several Zifu Zhenjun to discuss the matter of seeking help.
"According to the information that Lu Sandao secretly told us, there are dozens of Zifu Zhenjun among those pirates, and as for other Jindan cultivators, there are countless."
"With our strength, we are no match at all. Changsheng is taking too much risk this time."
Several Zifu Zhenjuns were a little worried, worried that if they didn't do well this time, the entire Wanxiang Sect would be ruined.
Old Wei also sighed, although he didn't know what Yu Changsheng was planning.
But in this situation, he had no way to solve it, and could only hope that Yu Changsheng knew what he was doing.
"Alas, you all know Changsheng's temperament. Whatever he decides to do, he must do it, and he will definitely succeed."
"Just trust him this time."
Several Purple Mansion True Lords also nodded slowly. Out of their trust in Yu Changsheng in the past, they would also cooperate.
"But who should we ask for help? My Wanxiang Sect has just arrived in the North Sea, and we don't have much experience."
"I'm afraid no one is willing to help."
Old Wei also knew this, but Yu Changsheng had already given a hint in the communication jade slip.
"Changsheng means to borrow some manpower from the Sixth Saint, and set up a formation above the mine."
"As long as we are well prepared and wait until those people enter before opening the formation, we can strangle some pirates in the first place."
"Moreover, from what Changsheng said, he seems to have a way to deal with some of the pirates, so the pressure won't be that great."
After hearing this, the few people breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yu Changsheng knew what was going on. Now that the plan has been made, all they need to do is implement it and do their own things.
On the island, in a house.
Li Lie stood in the corner with his arms folded, his eyes cold, a black shadow sat on a chair, his figure erratic, and the people around him were all the confidants of the mine-hunting pirate group.
Li Lie: "Boss, we must not let Lu Sandao succeed easily this time."
"Don't you want to get the treasure?"
Another confidant said: "Haha, Li Lie, do you believe that the treasure exists now?"
Li Lie's forehead was bulging with blue veins, "Whether it is true or not, this thing must not fall into the hands of others."
The black shadow also said in a deep voice: "Enough, stop arguing."
"Lu Sandao excluded us, do you think I will be indifferent to this?"
"What's more, Yu Changsheng wants to take the treasure for himself and only give benefits to other pirate groups. Do you really think those captains will be interested in those little melons and two dates?"
"All captains have the same goal, which is the treasure! Just watch, once the treasure appears, it will be snatched by everyone. War is inevitable!"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. We must be the oriole, not the mantis."
Everyone present had a bright look in their eyes and understood what the captain meant.
Lu Sandao excluded the Mine Hunter Pirates, which seemed like they had suffered a loss, but in fact it gave them a great opportunity.
Let them take action at the last moment without being suspected!
Li Lie nodded slowly, with a hint of coldness on his face. After the matter was accomplished, he would definitely cut Lu Sandao and Yu Changsheng into pieces.
At the same time.
The place where Yu Changsheng was detained.
The other four pirate groups except the Mine Hunter Pirates, as well as the boss of the builder of this stronghold, all gathered here.
Xue Hongmei, Gui Xie, Fan Hailong, Ji Tian, and Fatty Lei sat around the table.
Yu Changsheng sat in the middle, looking at the others.
"Yu Changsheng, you gathered several of us here, what's the matter with you falling down?"
"There are no outsiders here now, so let's talk about it."
Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "Of course, I came here to save your lives."
Several people were immediately suspicious, and Xue Hongmei narrowed her eyes into a slit, trying to see through Yu Changsheng's thoughts.
The other captains all looked at him unkindly.
Gui Xie laughed twice and said disdainfully: "What a joke! Why do we need a mere Purple Mansion mid-stage cultivator to save our lives? Do you think we are made of mud?"
Yu Changsheng knocked on the table with a mysterious look on his face.
"If this hidden danger is not resolved, your lives will be in danger." (End of this chapter)
