Soon, Ye Li discussed the details of building a stronghold with Lang Tianfu. The first step was to clear out the islands on a large island not far away, called "Pushan Island".
After clearing the island, the masters of the Lang family prepared to carry out the transformation of the island.
Ye Li contacted the top leaders of the Travel Merchants Association and arranged for trusted confidants to transport various goods.
Afterwards, Ye Li went to find his master Ou Qianxie again and arranged for some of his trusted aides from the Foundry Hall to go to the island to cast the Soul Gathering Cannon.
In this way, it is equivalent to moving the location where the Soul Gathering Cannon is cast in the Foundry Hall to the island, and the secrecy will be greatly improved.
Afterwards, Ye Li and the Lang family will each look for forces they can trust and arrange for personnel to be stationed on the island.
When there are enough people, Pushan Island will become a perfect base and their base camp to fight against the Dahuntian forces.
In the next three days, the Lang family sent out elite spies to investigate the situation on Pushan Island, and they quickly found out the situation around the pirates' base.
The pirates have been in a bad situation recently. The second in command of the three original leaders was unwilling to be inferior to the eldest brother, so he took some time out and left the island with half of his trusted men, and parted ways with the eldest and third brothers.
So now there are only the boss and the third in command on the island, and their strength is only at the early stage of the Divine Phase.
As for the manpower below, half of them were missing. Not only were the remaining people of varying strengths, but their numbers were also not worthy of attention. So after only three days of preparation, the Lang family had assembled a large group of children and headed towards Pushan Island.
Ye Li also went with the team. With Lang Tianfu leading the team personally, four of the five Divine Appearance Stage masters of the Lang family also followed the army.
Including Ye Li, the five masters in the Divine Appearance Stage can completely crush the pirate forces on Pushan Island without any chance of fighting back.
In this battle, the people of the Lang family did not wear clothes that would reveal their identities, and the number of people sent out was not too large, but all of them had a cultivation level above the fetal development stage.
After all, their main purpose of attacking pirates is to drive them away, not to kill them all, so as long as they show strong enough shock, the pirate forces will immediately disintegrate and flee.
These pirates were originally trying to survive in the cracks between various forces in the sea, so it was naturally impossible for them to turn around and take revenge. Therefore, the Lang family didn't worry about them coming back at all, and there was no need to drive them away and kill them all.
The battle started quickly. The Lang family did not hide anything and appeared on the island openly, attracting all the pirates. Then they launched a frontal attack.
When the pirates saw the five masters in the Divine Appearance Stage, they no longer had any interest in fighting.
The entire battle lasted only a quarter of an hour. Ye Li originally thought that the two leaders in the Divine Appearance Stage would choose to resist to some extent, but he did not expect that the two of them actually chose to escape at the first moment.
The rest of the pirates behaved basically the same way. As the Lang family didn't intend to hunt them down, only one-third of the pirates entrenched on the island died, and the remaining two-thirds all left by boat in panic.
Although the pirates are not as good as the Lang family in fighting, when it comes to sailing speed, they are really no worse than the Lang family.
After all, they were on a robbery spree. If the ship wasn't moving fast enough, they would have been caught and killed.
The frightened pirates didn't bother to guess which family came to seek revenge. Anyway, they lived a life of blood and knife, and they could only pass one level at a time. After leaving Pushan Island, the two-thirds of the pirates who survived gathered together to celebrate, and then went to look for another base.
After taking over Pushan Island, Ye Li also went to the island for an actual investigation.
Just as Lang Tianfu said, this place is not suitable for ordinary families to live in. The environment is full of steep hills. No wonder the surrounding forces look down on it. Only these second-rate pirates would choose this place.
Ye Li looked at the cliffs on all four sides of the island and said, "What a great place! Turning the entire island into a huge fortress must be a very shocking thing."
The area of the entire island is estimated to be the size of four Lang clan resident islands, but there is almost no flat land.
Fortunately, Ye Li and his team don’t need flat ground at all. All their facilities will be set up underground or in the belly of the mountain.
After Ye Li and Lang Tianfu inspected the island, they finally selected a mountain and said, "This mountain looks good, let's hollow out the belly of the mountain and use it as the center of our base.
When we have enough manpower, we will form an alliance, and this place will serve as the place for the alliance's top leaders to handle many matters.
The wider and flatter hill next to it is used to cast the soul gathering cannon, and the one over there is used as the accommodation area.
In short, everything on the island must be done in the cave, everything must be done in secrecy, and remember not to leak the news.
Those who are selected to enter this island must pass the loyalty test. Otherwise, once we are discovered by the Dahuntian organization, our situation will be in danger.
There are Fu Shengs in their organization. At that level, they can crush us with just one finger."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Lang Tianfu's heart trembled, and he said: "I never thought that they actually have masters of that level, it seems that we really need to be more careful.
A master of the Talisman Saint level is not someone we can afford to provoke. I guess only the Four Sacred Grounds can fight against him."
Ye Li and Lang Tianfu, together, surveyed the entire island, and finally decided on the construction of a stronghold. Then they left Pushan Island and returned to the Lang family’s residence.
After returning to the base, Ye Li planned to leave.
In his opinion, the danger to the Lang family has been resolved. What he has to do now is to go back to the family and contact the top leaders of the Traveling Merchants Association and his master Ou Qianxie.
In addition, Ye Li also wanted to tell the Haiyuan clan about the matter of Pushan Island. He hoped that the Haiyuan clan would also send some weaponsmiths to learn how to make the Spirit Gathering Cannon.
Although the Haiyuan clan lacks materials and cannot complete the casting of the Soul Gathering Cannon, people from the Haiyuan Continent can join the alliance of Pushan Island and become a member of the fight against the Dahuntian organization.
Ever since Luffy took the position of the chief, he has begun to clean up the people of the Great Soul Organization, and soon wiped out the Great Soul Organization from the island completely.
The control of the Great Soul Heaven Organization over the Haiyuan Continent has completely become zero. The Haiyuan Continent has become the cleanest place with no involvement of the Great Soul Heaven Organization at all.
With the help of the high priest, Luffy has reintegrated the island. After the previous events, the internal power changes of the Haiyuan clan on the island were quickly completed. Now all the chiefs have become Luffy's people, and Luffy's control over the entire continent has reached the highest level.
