I can gather experience beads

Cao Rui stood quietly in place, staring at the figure of Red Leaf Sword Master walking away, until the red figure completely disappeared from his sight.

A strong murderous intent suddenly flashed in his eyes, but it was fleeting like a meteor across the night sky, and then he quickly suppressed it as if it had never appeared.

Anger caused by lack of ability can only be impotent rage, which is false and needs to be suppressed.

"Alas!" Cao Rui sighed softly, secretly lamenting the fickleness of fate.

You know, this red cloud vortex area has always been calm, and nothing major has happened in more than a hundred years.

But just a few years after he came here, such a group of arrogant and domineering blue-robed space pirates appeared.

After such wanton disturbance and destruction by this group of blue-robed star pirates, the originally good income from Tianji will inevitably drop significantly.

For Cao Rui, who was determined to break through to the fusion stage as soon as possible, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

Seeing that his goal of rapid promotion became increasingly distant, Cao Rui felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

After calming down, Cao Rui turned around and slowly walked towards the deep blue spirit ship.

What surprised him a little was that when he just stepped onto the spirit ship, a group of newly recruited peripheral members actually came to him together with Guan Yichen.

Guan Yichen smiled and spoke first, "Sir, we have agreed to reduce the annual salary to five thousand high-grade spiritual energy."

Hearing this, Cao Rui couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then showed a hint of surprise.

In fact, the reason why these peripheral members made such a decision may be that they were influenced by the so-called "convert effect".

Before this, they were just small characters wandering around and making a living by plundering scattered secrets.

But now, they are fortunate enough to join this top organization that controls the hegemony of Tianji Sea. Even if they are just peripheral members, the huge gap in status is enough to make them feel superior and different.

On the other hand, the thirteen peripheral members knew very well that Cao Rui had been severely harvested by the group of blue-robed star pirates, so it was very likely that he would not even be able to pay them the Tianji reward.

Even if it is paid, what about the interests of the core members headed by Cao Rui?

By that time, the entire Deep Blue organization might face the crisis of dissolution.

Therefore, instead of risking losing the job by insisting on the original remuneration standard, it is better to take the initiative to lower some requirements to ensure that one's own interests are not damaged too much.

The Deep Blue Organization is facing dissolution soon! This is definitely not a good thing for all the people involved.

In fact, at this moment, keeping the organization going is in the common interests of the core and peripheral members of the Deep Blue Organization.

After all, if the organization does disintegrate, core members and peripheral members alike will suffer the same losses.

Cao Rui was silent for a moment before he spoke: "In that case, I thank you all for your understanding. Please rest assured, I, Cao Rui, solemnly promise you that the remuneration you deserve will not be reduced by a single cent. I will deliver it to you on time in one year."

With Cao Rui's assurance, the atmosphere on the spirit ship eased, and the connection between the peripheral members and the core members naturally became closer.

In the face of external threats, the organization will naturally become more solid internally.

Just like that, the West Corner temporarily returned to its former peaceful state...

A few days later, a shocking piece of news spread across the star map like a bombshell.

Qian Yang, the delusion breaker in the North Corner, attacked and killed the pirates sent by the Blue Robe Pirates to that place!

This incident instantly ignited the fuse of a fierce conflict between the two sides.

Faced with such a provocation, how could the Blue Robe Pirates give up?

Just one day later, the information on the star map was updated.

The Blue Robe Pirates decisively took retaliatory action. The powerful pirate leader Ji Zhan personally led three of their capable men and rushed to the North Corner in a menacing manner.

After a thrilling battle, all the people on the side of the Delusion Breakers, including their leader Qian Yang, were brutally annihilated, without any one spared.

Not only that, the Blue Robe Pirates struck while the iron was hot and quickly established a new organization called "Thorns" and officially appointed it as the overlord of the North Corner region.

This [Thorn] organization is not an unknown entity. It is well-known among the many forces in the Red Cloud Vortex and ranks sixth.

Back then, when [Thorn] was in the central corner, he was already a vicious character who plundered the resources of the Tianji Sea at will.

Now that he has the support of the Blue Robe Pirates, he has become even more arrogant and domineering.

With the tragic end of the Delusion Breaker in mind, the monks in the North Corner were almost all intimidated and gave up the idea of ​​challenging the hegemony of Thorns appointed by the Blue Robe Pirates in this area.

Exited the North Corner area.

However, as the saying goes, "If the east is dark, the west will be bright." In sharp contrast to the North Corner, the other three corners attracted more ambitious monks because of this incident.

In particular, one of the top organizations arrived at the western corner in a mighty manner, seemingly ready to stir up a bloody storm here...

......

In the western corner, in a void close to the Deep Blue Spirit Ship, members of the [Ice Breaking] organization occupied a space.

Their bodies were suspended in mid-air, forming a tight defensive formation. The aura they emitted prevented nearby monks from approaching easily.

At this moment, the members of the [Ice Breaking] organization are practicing quietly using the few remaining Tianji resources in their hands.

Ever since Deep Blue successfully recruited many peripheral members, its overall strength has been significantly improved, and its influence has directly risen to a whole new level.

Because of this, most of the organizations that originally intended to come to the West Corner to compete for hegemony over the Tianji Sea now have no choice but to give up this idea.

They could only reluctantly go to nearby areas to plunder the scattered Tianji resources.

At the same time, he silently waited for the terrifying blue robe pirates to leave as soon as possible, and then waited for an opportunity to return to the central corner in the hope of finding new opportunities and turning points.

However, there are still some organizations that are unwilling to give up.

And [Ice Breaking] is undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching top organizations among them.

Speaking of the [Ice Breaking] organization, it has a total of ten members, and without exception, they are all cultivators from the Fire Clan.

Although these Fire Clan members may not be at the top level in terms of individual combat power, they possess a unique and powerful innate magical power - the ability to connect the magic powers of members of the same clan to each other!

It is precisely with this magical ability that when these ten members of the Fire Clan work together and fight together, the combat power they can unleash will increase exponentially.

Even Sun Daoyi, the number one cultivator who once enjoyed a great reputation in the Red Cloud Vortex, would probably have to temporarily give way to such a terrifying combined force for a short period of time.

However, although the Fire Tribe members are powerful, their weaknesses are also very obvious.

Due to their impatient and impulsive personality, they are often easily picked apart and defeated one by one by the enemy in daily battles.

Because of this, despite its impressive combat capabilities, the organization established by the Fire Clan can only rank seventh among the many forces in the Red Cloud Vortex.

At this time, the Fire Tribe leader Huo Jie, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes slowly and said softly, "They are coming."

As if it had been expected, not long after the words fell, everyone saw five figures flying towards them at an extremely fast speed in the void in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the five monks arrived and stopped about a hundred feet away from the [Ice Breaking] organization.

Even though they had already agreed to be allies in the West Corner, in this tense situation, maintaining a certain safe distance was not only a basic etiquette, but also a necessary protection and respect for both parties.

The leader of the group looked at Huo Jie with disdain and said sarcastically, "Huo Jie, Huo Jie, I didn't expect you to be so timid! Do you have to wait until all of us are here before you dare to attack Shen Lan?"

Hearing the other party's provocative words, Huo Jie's eyes instantly became sharp, and he swept his gaze towards the newcomer without showing any weakness.

Then he responded coldly: "Humph! Are you any stronger than me? When Blue Robe appointed Thorn as the overlord of the North Corner, weren't you also afraid of Blue Robe behind Thorn and didn't dare to easily stir up trouble? So you could only run to the West Corner like a stray dog ​​to meet me?"

Facing the Fire Capricorn's retort, the leader was slightly startled at first, and then he laughed dryly: "Hehe... Forget it, let's not say anything about each other, we are all the same, it's the same for everyone!"

The origins of these five people are not simple. They all come from a well-known organization in the central corner - [Blizzard].

[Blizzard] ranks second among the many organizations in Red Cloud Vortex.

One of the important reasons why this organization is famous is its extremely powerful leader, who ranks second on the combat power list, a top combat cultivator named Song Ye.

Song Ye previously led Blizzard and also operated in the central corner.

Earlier in the center corner, Song Ye witnessed with his own eyes the scene where Sun Daoyi was defeated by the blue-robed leader Ji Zhan.

Facing such a strong enemy, Song Ye knew that if he confronted Ji Zhan head-on at this time, his chances of winning would be slim. So, after careful consideration, he made a decisive move and ran to the North Corner.

Song Yeben had a plan in mind. He planned to defeat the Delusion Breaker with his own powerful strength the next time the Tianji Sea appeared in the North Cape, and thus seize the hegemony of the North Cape.

However, what he had not expected was that the Delusion Breaker actually sought his own death and was so bold as to kill the messenger sent by the Blue Robe Party.

Perhaps the Delusion Breaker was too conceited and thought that the Blue Robe would be too busy to take care of the North Corner because of this matter.

But what no one expected was that Ji Zhan not only led his men to the North Corner personally, but also annihilated the Delusion Breaker and his entire team with a thunderous force.

In the end, Ji Zhan ruthlessly appointed Thorn as the new overlord of the North Cape.

Under such circumstances, Song Ye knew that it was not wise to continue to act recklessly in the North Cape.

Just at this time, Fire Capricorn was actively contacting various forces, trying to work together to defeat Deep Blue and seize hegemony over the Tianji Sea in the west corner.

After learning the news, Song Ye immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

Therefore, Songhe contacted Huojie through the star map and had an in-depth discussion on the future profit sharing of Tianjihai.

After weighing the pros and cons, the two sides quickly reached a consensus. Afterwards, the two hit it off and led their respective troops to the west corner without hesitation to successfully meet up with [Ice Breaking].

After a heated argument between Huo Jie and Song Ye, the battle finally came to an end, which was considered as a formal recognition of each other's status as allies.

Huo Jie narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "According to the latest intelligence I have obtained, the mysterious Tianji Sea located in the west corner will appear in the world in the next few months."

He paused, and then continued, "If you and I can work together, cooperate with each other, and take the opportunity to find a few monks to successfully incite the monks in the surrounding major organizations to launch a fierce attack and killing against the Deep Blue forces. Then, Deep Blue will definitely die!"

Song Ye casually stretched out his fingers and dug into his ears casually, as if there was some non-existent earwax there.

He responded lazily: "Since you have already found out everything so clearly, then I will do as you say. But..."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject and raised his voice to emphasize: "No matter how many external helpers you summon by then, my company Blizzard must firmly occupy a full 50% share of the profits that this Sea of ​​Secrets can ultimately bring!"

Hearing this, Huo Jie couldn't help but frown, with a slightly unhappy look on his face: "Haven't we already discussed these matters before? Why do you have to repeat them here? Why are you becoming so fussy now?"

Facing Huo Jie's slightly accusatory words, Song Ye smiled and explained, "There is really no other way! Look at the difficult situation and dangerous situation that the Red Cloud Vortex is in right now. I have no choice but to be extra careful!"

"Things like this, where cooperation between organizations is needed to gain the rights and interests of the Sea of ​​Heaven, have never happened to the Blizzard I lead in the Red Cloud Vortex in the past few decades! If we want to find someone to blame, I'm afraid we have to put the blame on those extremely hateful Blue Robe Pirates!"

Huo Jie shook his head, "Then let's wait for the day when the Sea of ​​Heaven appears and start the action."

Song Ye nodded slightly, selected a location in the nearby void, and started practicing with the stored Tianji.

Waiting for several months is nothing for a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm who is wandering in the outer space of the universe. It is no different from a night's sleep for an ordinary person.
