Jiang Qiao was listening to the discussion between Mo Shigui and Yin Total on the side… Instead of how they should deal with the imminent arrival at Black Tide Island, Jiang Qiao was more concerned about something else.

That was the fact that the Catastrophe Lady had betrayed them, she decided to pledge allegiance to Denghis Xisi… Bah!

It couldn’t exactly be called allegiance.

Plane Pirates don’t really take sides, the Divine Fragments can break the relics’ purification power of the abyss, so the Plane Pirates came to cooperate with the Divine Fragments.

Denghis Xisi promised them all the treasures within the relics as they please, so the Plane Pirates decided to cease their cooperation with the Divine Fragments.

As for why Jiang Qiao knew about the Catastrophe Lady’s betrayal… it was because, after Juan Canyun had defeated the Catastrophe Lady, Jiang Qiao could vaguely hear her inner thoughts!

This female pirate didn’t come to the Nucleus Jumping Stronghold to see Juan Canyun at all, her idea was the same as the former leader of Black Wind Village, Shun Meng, planning to directly kidnap Juan Canyun.

From the thoughts of the Catastrophe Lady, each of the three pirate leaders of Pirate City had reached some kind of cooperation with the Magic Thief, with the scaly pirate crew of lizardmen having betrayed most ruthlessly.

According to the intelligence given to Jiang Qiao by the Mother, they were the traitors who would stab the Divine Fragments in the back and would not miss any opportunity to crush the Divine Fragments.

Drake and the Catastrophe Lady at least had some professional integrity, their decision was to part ways peacefully with the Divine Fragments, they had already received their money, and further framing the Divine Fragments was something the Catastrophe Lady disdained to do again, Drake was… purely afraid to provoke the Divine Fragments.

“It’s a bit of a nuisance.”

Jiang Qiao quietly watched as Mo Shigui and the Catastrophe Lady explained… that Juan Canyun was currently in a very dangerous volcano and temporarily unable to escape and the like.

Moreover, Mo Shigui had just had a Summoner player summon the portal to the world of the true form of Divine Fragments, but the system showed that the Catastrophe Lady could not enter it.

This made it even more difficult for Mo Shigui to placate the Catastrophe Lady.

Of course difficult to placate… the Catastrophe Lady was equivalent to having entered a treasure chamber alone, it’s just that all these treasures were cursed, and now she just wanted to find the treasure she desired and then flee far away!

“Why not just devour these Plane Pirates along with her, they aren’t strong anyway.” Hai Lan’s figure floated next to Jiang Qiao and whispered softly, to her the combat power exhibited by the Plane Pirates seemed a bit laughable.

“Not strong my ass, they have abyssal and crystallized plague diseases which prevent them from performing well, and our cooperation with the pirates isn’t for their combat abilities, but for their unique Tracking Technique, without the pirates, the Divine Fragments wouldn’t even be able to find the door to the relic instances.”

Jiang Qiao communicated with Hai Lan through consciousness, the combat strength of the average pirate did indeed not seem very formidable, a regular member of the pirate crew being of about level forty-five, similar to an average Divine Fragment.

Some of their elites might reach the level of fifty-five, equivalent to elite creatures, but even this was remarkable given the God of Casting faction filled with lord-level characters striding across it, it was already astonishing that the pirates could still trouble the Magic Thief so much.

But what truly made the pirates strong was not their power, but… their understanding of Black Tide Island and their extraordinarily sharp ‘sense of smell’.

Their role for the Divine Fragments was more akin to that of hunting dogs tracking prey and dealers selling information about enemy locations, ways of entering various relics.

Without the assistance of the pirates, the explorations of Divine Fragments on Black Tide Island would be completely blind.

No information aid that even the Gods Alliance and Breeders could provide would be special, especially the positioning and tracking of specific Magic Thieves, a unique talent referred to by the pirates as ‘Deep Sea Bite,’ crucial for the current phase of players to hunt down the Magic Thieves!

“Then if they are to betray us… do we have to court them just like the gods?” Hai Lan mimicked licking a lollipop.

“It’s useless, the gods can court them by gaining favor, but these pirates are likely to betray even their closest comrades, so we just have to use the simplest and most direct methods.”

Jiang Qiao stared at the Catastrophe Lady who was becoming completely impatient in the distance, for her, every additional second she stayed at the stronghold of the Divine Fragments, her danger increased.

Mo Shigui’s requirement for her to come to the stronghold was that she only brings two followers, although the Catastrophe Lady had an outstanding ability to tear through space to escape, she was not sure she could escape from the pursuit of the Divine Fragments unscathed.

So now the Catastrophe Lady was truly risking her life… trying to kidnap Juan Canyun!

But since you’re so eager to meet Juan Canyun, why not stay a bit longer?

“Make a cage, a bigger, sturdier one, ideally with space-restraining properties,” Jiang Qiao said to Hai Lan beside him.

“I remember a cage like this… Wasn’t it made by the God of Casting before? I still have one; it could probably be reinforced. You’re not thinking of capturing her, are you?” Hai Lan realized instantly after finishing her sentence.

“Nonsense! Can a daughter-in-law kidnap the son-in-law at the doorstep? That’s against the rules!” Jiang Qiao was too lazy to reason with these shameless pirates anymore, those who intended to stab him in the back would be confronted directly, but those who decided on a peaceful breakup were not deserving of death, but should indeed spend some time reflecting inside the special Miao Miao house of the Holy Spirit!

“I’ll try; recently, I feel like I’ve regained much of my craftsmanship!” Hai Lan’s figure disappeared beside Jiang Qiao as she spoke.

With the retrieval of the Divine Fragments, Hai Lan’s mastery over the laws and the world’s crafting techniques improved day by day. At this stage, letting Hai Lan craft a cage with space-restraining properties was not a problem.

However, she was still not very good at the finer tasks involving the soul and the physical biology of creatures, and Jiang Qiao also found it hard to control… All they could do was wait for Hai Lan to grow gradually.

“Wait, the Calamity Lady’s portal will allow you to pass through. After this, you’ll find yourself in the volcanic map where Juan Canyun is located. I haven’t lied to you; do you want to check it out?”

Mo Shigui thought that NPCs from Black Tide Island couldn’t be transported to the Holy Spirit’s main world when suddenly the system notified, ‘Portal recharged, character Calamity Lady can be transported.’

“Your world.”

The Calamity Lady stood in front of the portal, realizing something without needing to step through.

If in the world of Biland Island she had an eighty percent chance of tearing through space and escaping back to Black Tide Island under the Holy Spirit’s siege…

This main world diminishes her chances to less than thirty percent, and what’s more crucial is she’s already sensed the scent of conspiracy.

“Damn… I… can wait…” The Calamity Lady was naturally impatient, but at this moment she knew she couldn’t take the risk and had to resolve this through a delegation method.

“That might take about three more hours,” Mo Shigui said.

Juan Canyun had just entered the instance not long ago. The Holy Spirit’s instance could be paused, allowing new players to join midway, but if a player left the instance, it would be judged as an outright abandonment.

Juan Canyun could give up, but he was using his ID to lead newcomers, much like a fan meet-and-greet, where Juan Canyun abandoning midway would greatly impact his reputation.

Mo Shigui saw no need to sacrifice Juan Canyun’s reputation for the sake of an NPC’s command.

‘President, we’ve encountered the hidden boss, the Eyeless Laxina,’ Juan Canyun suddenly sent a message at that moment.

Eyeless Laxina was one of the most troublesome hidden bosses of the Black Flame Volcano. Troublesome not because it was difficult, but because… the fight took a very long time, yet the rewards were quite good.

How coincidental?

“Juan Canyun just encountered some mishaps in the volcano, it might take about five hours before he can meet you,” Mo Shigui said regretfully.

“What on earth is in that volcano! Tell me his location!” the Calamity Lady could no longer hold back upon hearing Mo Shigui’s words; in her mind, Juan Canyun was trapped in a volcano fighting some monster, which is why he couldn’t come!

“The location is right behind this portal, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter,” Mo Shigui was contemplating how to explain to the Calamity Lady what an instance was.

The Calamity Lady immediately tore through the space beside her and threw a marker of her pirate crew into the void.

Jiang Qiao sensed that the marker was likely something akin to a soul beacon; if something unexpected happened to the Calamity Lady, she should be able to revive at some cost on her own ship.

After making this preparation, the Calamity Lady didn’t wait for Mo Shigui to explain and stepped directly into the portal, arriving at the foot of the Black Flame Volcano in the Holy Spirit’s main world.
