Chapter 1781 (Raw 1793): Wolf King Birthday Banquet

Early the next morning, Ding Yuan requested an audience with Xiao Chen. When he saw Xiao Chen's complexion, it startled him.

"Young Master Xiao, you…entered a state of Berserking Qi Deviation."

At this moment, Xiao Chen's complexion was terrifyingly pale. His Qi and blood were weak. It looked like he had entered a state of Berserking Qi Deviation and received internal injuries from the backlash.

Xiao Chen forced out a smile and said, "It's nothing. Chief Manager Ding, there's no need to overthink. I just need a few days to recover."

Ding Yuan barely believed it. He said seriously, "I have let down Young Master Xiao's great trust. Based on the information I gathered, I am simply unable to deduce what the Black Cutlass could have asked the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group for help on."

Xiao Chen thought about the clues that he connected the previous day. Then, he said to the other party, "I have a question. Normally, when pirate groups want to enter a forbidden sea, are there any requirements?"

"Why are you suddenly asking me this?"

"Just tell me."

"Alright. No one would go to a forbidden sea for no reason, as it is simply too dangerous. The journey alone is extremely far. Furthermore, there are the dangers found in the forbidden sea itself."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I know about that already. Tell me the details."

"As for the specific details, it is impossible for an ordinary pirate group to enter the forbidden sea on their own strength."

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. "What is the standard for ordinary?"

"Five Stars and below."

The strongest pirate ship in the Grave Sea is 5-Star ranked. The Wolf Smoke Pirate Group is capable of deterring the blessed lands' Rank 3 sects from clashing head-on with them.

Could it be that they cannot enter, either?

Xiao Chen could not help voicing his doubt.

Ding Yuan smiled and said softly, "On the contrary, the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group is rather special. It can enter the forbidden seas."

Xiao Chen felt curious. He asked, "Why?"

"The Pirate Alliance branch of the Grave Sea once gave out three Iron Blood Tokens to the Savage Blood Pirate Group, the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group, and one other pirate group. With this token, they can use the Grave Sea Pirate Alliance branch's strength to go directly to a forbidden sea."

Ding Yuan explained the finer details, telling Xiao Chen the specific reasons.

After Xiao Chen heard that, he suddenly felt enlightened, realizing what had happened.

"Can the Iron Blood Token be passed on to another?"

"It can. After all, there is only one chance to use it. One can only get the Iron Blood Token again in the future by making contributions to the Pirate Alliance. The Pirate Alliance acknowledges the token and not the person."

Xiao Chen thought to himself, Indeed.

Now, he knew what the Black Cutlass had sought out the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group for.

It was for the Iron Blood Token!

Ding Yuan did not understand Xiao Chen's thoughts. He continued, "However, I think the Wolf King does not have any intention of going to the forbidden sea. The Iron Blood Token is simply wasted in his hands. Right now, he is the ruler of the Grave Sea. He passes his days freely and leisurely.

"Just one birthday banquet and all the pirates of the Grave Sea do not dare not to give him face, rushing to fawn on him."

Xiao Chen did not continue listening. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Chief Manager Ding, many thanks. I know the answer now. I'll be leaving first. We will meet again in the future."

After saying that, Xiao Chen left in a flash, not waiting for Ding Yuan to react.

"Answer? What is the answer?" Ding Yuan himself felt somewhat confused. He did not know what exactly Xiao Chen understood.

After leaving the Pirate Hall, Xiao Chen flew quickly over the sea.

The seawater of the Grave Sea was no ordinary seawater.

This was a starry sea that was formed after countless stars shattered and melded.

The gravity was quite strong, and the seawater was intensely corrosive.

When Xiao Chen first came to the Grave Sea, he found it very difficult to fly there.

However, now, he no longer had any problem doing so. His physique could already completely resist the gravity of the sea.

He could fly freely over the sea.

Xiao Chen's destination was very clear: the largest Pirate Hall of the Grave Sea, where the Wolf King Jiang Hengchuan would be holding his birthday banquet.

Xiao Chen's figure was like lightning. When he flew past, few could notice him.

"So fast! In the many years I was gone, such a strong and talented youth actually appeared in the Grave Sea."

A middle-aged man wearing long robes stood at the bow of a somewhat majestic-looking pirate ship floating on the sea. From his words, it was clear that he had astonishing eyesight and extraordinary strength.

With one glance, that man saw not only Xiao Chen's figure but also Xiao Chen's appearance and determined Xiao Chen's age.

"Captain, I have seen this youth before."

The middle-aged captain revealed an interested expression. He turned his head back and smiled. "Old Yuan, you know him? This youth is rather impressive. Tell me how you got acquainted with him."

If Xiao Chen were here, he would definitely recognize this Old Yuan. It was the stall owner who sold him the Dragon Shadow Condor wing bone.

Old Yuan explained, "That day, when Captain met up with the Pirate Hall's Hall Master, I had nothing to do, so I went to the market to sell off some of the more inferior goods we obtained from the forbidden sea.

"This youth is not only extraordinarily knowledgeable but is also very liberal with his money. He did not even bat an eyelid at five hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades. Also…"

Although the interaction between the two was short, Xiao Chen had left a very deep impression on the stall owner.

Because of that, Old Yuan recalled everything clearly, telling everything that happened that day to this middle-aged captain.

"He is moving at quite a clip. Clearly, he is in a rush. The killing Qi in his eyes is very well hidden. His situation is undoubtedly very urgent, but he did not show any killing Qi or murderous intent on his face at all."

The middle-aged captain showed a meaningful smile. "I am rather curious about who he is going to kill and what he is going to use that wing bone for."

------

Five days later, the largest Pirate Hall in the Grave Sea appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes.

He looked towards the Pirate Hall's harbor, which was densely packed with pirate ships flying all sorts of flags and banners.

The number was astonishing, far more than what Xiao Chen had seen in the past.

Countless experts came and went.

Furthermore, a steady stream of pirate ships descended, gathering at the harbor.

"Is this the place? It looks like I am somewhat early."

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Chen landed and entered the Pirate Hall.

He asked around and learned that he was a day early. Tomorrow was the day of the Wolf King's birthday banquet.

The Wolf King held great clout. More than three thousand guests had come. Anyone with any fame in the Grave Sea had received an invitation.

There were even uninvited people who had come because of the Wolf King's fame. They wanted to make connections and establish a good relationship.

The waiter who provided Xiao Chen with the information sized him up and said, "Young Master, you want to attend the birthday banquet but do not have an invitation, right?"

Xiao Chen smiled and asked, "Do you think that I look like a pirate?"

"Who says that only pirates can attend the birthday banquet? The Wolf King's birthday banquet is a grand occasion in the Grave Sea, something that rarely happens. Many came to join the excitement. If you are interested, you can just be direct about it. I have a way to help you obtain an invitation."

The waiter looked happily at Xiao Chen, as though he had already figured Xiao Chen out and knew what Xiao Chen planned.

Xiao Chen put down his wine cup and said, "I don't mind taking a look. How much is one invitation?"

"No bargaining. Two hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Jades."

Xiao Chen thought to himself, What a ripoff! By organizing a birthday banquet this time, the Wolf King not only raised wealth for himself but also managed to give benefits to his subordinates.

The channel to obtain the invitation must be from the Wolf Smoke Pirate Group's own people.

Otherwise, how could outsiders obtain this so-called invitation?

"Do you find it expensive? Haha! Two hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Jades isn't expensive. There are only so many invitations, and this is just for invitations for the outer area. Invitations for the inner area are even more expensive."

The waiter could make out what Xiao Chen was thinking. As he spoke, he used an aloof tone.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. "If you have an invitation to the main banquet, I would accept even a price of five hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades. Do you have that?"

The waiter immediately showed an abashed smile. "How could the main banquet's invitations be sold? Those are for the people that the Wolf King personally invited and are not released to outsiders. No matter how many Spirit Jades you have, you can't buy one.

"You can only obtain one with strength. One would need at least a peak 4-Star pirate ship. Otherwise, how can one be qualified to sit at the main banquet?"

Xiao Chen pondered the waiter's words. To think that the main banquet is not open to outsiders. This is rather problematic.

"Never mind. Get me an invitation for the outer area. I'll use it tomorrow."

"Alright. That is not a problem."

When night fell, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest. At the same time, he worked on recovering his spirit and energy.

In the four days' rush, he had used only his Veritable Essence Energy. His Soul Energy and Vital Qi had already recovered to normal.

Xiao Chen needed only this one night of rest to bring his mind, spirit, and energies back to their peak.

The moment the sun rose, he opened his eyes. A bright light flashed in them before disappearing.
