Chapter 73 Encounter on a narrow road

With the money in hand, the crisis of the Iron Blood Pirates was resolved, so there was naturally no need for Cao Ze and his companions to stay in Cape City any longer. They packed their luggage, canceled their lease, and went back to Bishui Village.

Of course, some deposit will inevitably be deducted when you move out.

Capitalists are the same in every world. They squeeze the marrow out of you and would like to peel off your skin.

Finding a good landlord is not easy anywhere.

With Cao Ze's current financial situation, there was no need for him to waste energy on such a small amount of money. He readily paid the compensation and left Cape City.

After leaving the city, it was already 3 p.m. Sitting in the carriage, Cao Ze carefully thought about his next plan.

After the battle with Saladin, he deeply realized the importance of body movement. If he didn't take into account Ji Canghai, his strength was not much different from Saladin, but he was always suppressed because he couldn't keep up with Saladin's body movement.

If Saladin had not confronted him head-on in the end, but had continued to fight, the final outcome would have been hard to predict.

If one wants to learn body skills, there are only two choices in Cape City, either join the four major families and exchange body skills by accumulating contributions, or try his luck in Haishi. Now, with the remuneration and dividends from this voyage, he has three thousand taels of silver, so he has some confidence to go to Haishi.

Cao Ze made a decision quickly. Only children make choices, but adults want them all!
The ox cart slowly left Cape City and headed slowly and steadily towards Bishui Village, soon leaving Cape City behind.

Suddenly, Cao Ze turned his head and looked at the jungle beside the path.

A black shadow that was speeding over there also looked over.

The moment the two sides looked at each other, the black shadow that was originally running fast suddenly stopped, looked at Cao Ze with a happy expression on his face.

It’s not that enemies don’t get together.

There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in.

He had received a letter from home earlier, and learned that before the captain was surrounded and killed by the Lu family, he had encountered the Tornado. The Tornado acted as bait in the whole incident, so everyone on the Tornado deserved to die!

I didn't expect that I would meet the first mate of the Tornado just after leaving the city. It seems that even God is helping him!
Kill this guy, then leave Cape City, find a small island, gather a group of subordinates, and restore the glory of the Iron-Blooded Pirates.

By then, both the Gale and the Lu family will die!
The young man in black envisions a bright future.

Cao Ze was a little puzzled. He didn't know this young man in black, but the other party showed murderous intent at all.

Are today's young people too aggressive?
"Die!"

The young man in black made a slash with his right hand at his waist, and a scimitar turned into a flywheel and rushed towards Cao Ze. At the same time, his right hand was already holding a scimitar, and his body moved with the knife, rushing towards Cao Ze like the wind.

"A strong man in the Bone Forging Realm!"

Seeing such power, Su Wu turned pale, but he still drew his sword and prepared to fight back.

Swish!
Cao Ze, however, had already stood up and chopped the spinning scimitar away with one blow. He then cut off the black-clothed young man's arm with one blow, and with another blow, he chopped off his head as easily as if he were crushing an ant on the side of the road.

The moment the other party made his move, he guessed the other party's identity.

He must be a spy of the Iron Blood Pirates in Cape City, and he has a close relationship with Saladin.

Coupled with the opponent's naked murderous intent just now, if that's the case, there's no point in holding back.

"what?"

The young man in black's head flew up, and his thoughts flew with it.

Isn’t the first mate of the Tornado a martial artist who has mastered the Yi Jin Dacheng and the sixth level of body forging?

Kill the Bone Tempering Realm instantly?
Su Wu also held up a knife, standing there in shock, somewhat dazed.

"Has Xiaoze grown to this point?"

I don’t know whether Brother Cao would be happy or sad if he were still alive. After all, Brother Cao didn’t want Cao Ze to learn martial arts back then.

Su Zhuoding touched his empty left hand, feeling sad.

The medical skills in this world are not strong enough to reconnect a severed arm, at least not at the level that Cao Ze and the others can access, and Su Zhuoding's skills are not strong enough to regenerate a severed arm.

Therefore, he was destined to have no chance of learning martial arts in this life. Cao Ze walked towards the young man in black and began to feel around him. Although he didn't think a Bone Forging Realm warrior could have any good things, he had to develop good habits.

Unexpectedly, he actually found something when searching the corpse without any hope.

The total amount of silver notes, big and small, is as much as 1,800 taels!
This person is probably not only an undercover agent of the Iron Blood Pirates, but is also responsible for the purchasing and sales business in Cape City.

I didn't find many silver bills in the pirate ship, but I didn't expect that the black money would eventually fall into my hands.

In addition, Cao Ze also found a letter from this person, which mentioned the clue of one of the five elements treasures!

"The Whale Hunter?"

Cao Ze muttered to himself.

I didn't expect that I really had a connection with the Whale Hunter. Perhaps, Tian Haiyi's invitation is not something I cannot accept.

But Cao Ze still shook his head. He decided to take it slow. Now he had only just completed Yi Jin and was still some distance away from refining his internal organs. He was not in a hurry to search for the five elements treasures.

Let's put this matter aside for the time being. However, the gain of one thousand taels of silver made Cao Ze very happy.

It seems that the man in black is also preparing to run away, so he naturally takes all his property with him. What a good man!
Before the hour of You, the group returned to Bishui Village.

The Bishui Village today has changed greatly. A tall Poseidon Church has been built in the village since some time ago. Villagers would mutter some incomprehensible prayer words when they passed by.

Cao Ze frowned, feeling that the atmosphere in the village was becoming weird.

When they returned to their own yard, which had been uninhabited for a long time and was already covered with dust, the two of them spent a lot of effort to tidy it up and make it look brand new. Then they went to the fish market together to buy some delicious food and called Uncle Wu and others to celebrate their return to Bishui Village.

Su Xiaozhi carried the food back to the courtyard, while Cao Ze went to Uncle Qiang's house carrying some animal meat, vegetables and fruits.

dong dong dong...

Knock on the door.

There was a rustling sound in the courtyard.

It took a long time before Uncle Qiang opened the gate.

"It's Ozawa!"

Uncle Qiang smiled happily and looked at what Cao Ze was holding. "Come here if you want. Why are you carrying so many things?"

Although Uncle Qiang refused verbally, he was already smiling in his heart.

"It should be. Thanks to Uncle Qiang's support, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Seeing that Uncle Qiang was safe and sound, Cao Ze was very happy. He carried his things and walked into the yard. He brought a lot of things, and Uncle Qiang was old and might not be able to carry them.

After entering the courtyard, Cao Ze discovered that there seemed to be guests at Uncle Qiang's house.

These people were wearing aqua blue robes and were talking in mysterious voices. They were actually members of the Church of Poseidon.

"What are these people doing at Uncle Qiang's house?"

Cao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the main room which was blocked by several people from the Church of Poseidon.

There was a red silk cloth covering the Eight Immortals Table in the main hall. There was something protruding from the cloth. Cao Ze guessed that it might be a statue of a god!

"If it is a statue of God, why is it covered with red silk?"

"Is there anything shameful?"

Cao Ze became suspicious and rushed into the main hall with the gifts in his hand, "Uncle Qiang, I'll put these things in the main hall for you!"

The missionaries of the Church of Poseidon suddenly became nervous and moved, trying to block Cao Ze outside the door.

Cao Ze was even more certain that there was something wrong with these people, so he turned around and walked towards the kitchen, smiling and saying to Uncle Qiang, "They are all food, I'd better put them in the kitchen!"
