"Transaction complete. Goodbye."

Soon, Bo Donghai's men verified the warships, and Lin Yun cupped his hands in greeting.

Bo Donghai's expression changed slightly.

His thoughts raced through his mind.

His subordinates had completely taken control of a top-tier warship of a level 7 technological civilization and two high-tier warships of the same level. This was an extremely terrifying force.

In addition, there were other forces he deployed around him.

He really wanted these forces to attack Lin Yun and his group...

Three trillion spiritual crystals—this is an enormous fortune, almost wiping out the Northeast Prince's accumulated cash reserves over countless years.

Now, so many spiritual treasures are on the other party. If he takes them down, this enormous wealth will be regained.

Besides that, there is another very important thing.

With so many warships, the enemy just casually brought them out. Who knows how many more warships they have?

Perhaps the other warships the other party possesses far exceed the warships sold to him.

In this way, it becomes an even greater fortune.

If he were to defeat the other party, the power of the Northeast Prince's Mansion would increase at least several times over.

It has to be said that this is an extremely tempting offer.

However, he had to consider that if the other party was a member of a top power in a level seven technological civilization, and was so brazenly selling him so many warships without any scruples, did they not have any precautions?

...

"I never expected the King of the Northeast to be so sensible..."

In the starry sky, a top-tier warship of a level 6 technological civilization departed from the northeastern star region of the Cordis Empire. In the core control room, Lin Yun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars outside. Fang Ao walked over and smiled.

Despite the immense temptation of wealth, the King of Northeast China refrained from making a move.

"Is that so? Not necessarily." Lin Yun said with a faint smile.

Just now, when he was on that administrative star, he raised his mental power to the lower tenth level.

His powerful mental strength allowed him to sense some very subtle information.

"Could it be?" Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Fang Ao's expression changed slightly.

"It's hard to say. Many of a person's actions are decided in a split second. Maybe they will, maybe they won't," Lin Yun said, shaking his head.

His words were vague, as if he were speaking in riddles.

...

"Such immense wealth, if acquired, would at least multiply the strength of my Northeast Royal Palace several times over. My Northeast Royal Palace has accumulated its strength over hundreds of thousands of years to achieve what it is today. To multiply that strength would mean millions of years of accumulation. If I miss this opportunity, I will never be able to accept it for the rest of my life..."

"In the Northeast Prince's Mansion," Bo Donghai said softly, his eyes closed.

"Could the other party be just a down-on-his-luck member of a level seven technological civilization? Otherwise, how could someone in their early twenties, in the prime of their life, be doing something like this? Or would they only be using a single top-tier warship of a level six technological civilization? Even if they were to be cautious, they wouldn't need to be this careful. It's very likely... they don't have many people at all, and they can't even control two top-tier warships of a level six technological civilization?"

"Bo Donghai murmured."

If that's the case, then this matter isn't very dangerous.

Instead, the other party was a juicy piece of meat that flaunted itself in public and had no protection whatsoever.

Thinking about it now, it's quite possible.

Otherwise, even if the other party wanted to avoid trouble, they should have at least shown some strength, but they did not do any of that.

People tend to have a sense of wishful thinking; once they decide to do something, they will consider it from the perspective of many possible outcomes.

Not long after Lin Yun and his group left, a message came from the Northeast Prince's Mansion.

...

On a desolate star field, on a planet.

At the planet's core, warships adorned with black skulls were hidden.

"Haha, what great luck today! I actually managed to plunder an undamaged level six high-grade warship and gained billions of spirit crystals in one go!"

"And the supplies on those transport ships, once all disposed of, will also yield billions of spiritual crystals!"

"Thanks to the leader's intervention! The tenth level is truly formidable. The defensive layer of the sixth-grade high-quality warship couldn't withstand the leader's teleportation at all, and the people on that warship were no match for him either! Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to achieve such a great harvest!"

"Come on, let's drink and celebrate this great victory!"

"This glass of wine is a toast to the leader!"

At a dinner table, several burly men raised their glasses and laughed loudly.

From their words, it's easy to tell that they are the fearsome space pirates, and not just any pirates; their leader is actually a level ten cultivator.

The pirate captain was a burly middle-aged man who was smiling as he drank the toasts offered by his men.

"Hmm? There's information?"

Suddenly, the pirate captain had an idea. He put down his wine glass and began to search for information.

"A top-tier level 6 warship, a huge fat sheep?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes.

The source of this information was not shown, but he knew very well where it came from.

"Brothers, let's not drink yet. A big business opportunity has come our way. Let's pack up and get ready to go!"

The middle-aged man stood up and shouted.

...

As Lin Yun and his group's warships were flying forward...

Suddenly, warships began to appear around them, quickly forming an encirclement.

"The Black Skull Pirates?"

Upon seeing these warships, Fang Ao frowned.

"You know him?" Lin Yun looked up at Fang Ao.

"I don't know them, but I've heard of them. This pirate group is quite famous in the Cordis Empire. It's said that their leader is a level 10 early-stage cultivator, and they also have more than a dozen top-quality warships at the level of a level 6 technological civilization. Their strength is considerable..."

Fang Ao shook his head.

"However, it seems that this pirate group is even stronger than the legends say. They actually have twenty top-quality warships at the level of a sixth-level technological civilization." Fang Ao paused, looking at the group of warships on the screen, and said.

This pirate crew is indeed quite strong, but they are no match for them.

With just the robot beside Lin Yun, who possessed the strength of a level 10 peak martial artist, this pirate fleet was no match for them.

However, on their side, there is only one top-tier warship of the sixth-level technological civilization, and there are more than 100,000 people on board. If a battle breaks out, it will be quite troublesome.

"It's good that we don't know each other." Lin Yun nodded slightly.

"Beep beep beep—"

Just then, a communication signal came from Lin Yun's warship.

"Answer it," Lin Yun said.

"Haha, Black Skull is robbing us! Do you want our lives or our money? Choose one!" A burly middle-aged man appeared on the screen and laughed loudly.

This person was none other than the leader of the Black Skull, a level 10 early-stage cultivator.

"So you're Black Skull? Do you want my life or my money? What a boastful tone!" Fang Ao said with a cold laugh.

Black Skull is a notorious pirate wanted by the Cordis Empire. He had seen an image of Black Skull, and it was indeed this person.

"You must be Fang Ao, the newly appointed guest elder of the Cordis Empire? Hehe, at such a young age, you have already achieved so much. Guest Elder Fang has a bright future ahead of him. It's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox. You are a level ten cultivator. What future do you have following the royal family? Why not come and enjoy life with us? I will be your equal, how about it?" Black Skull looked at Fang Ao and laughed.

Fang Ao, the new guest minister of the Cordis Empire, was on this warship when he received this message.

This information led him to decide to lead the vast majority of his forces to do this.

He himself was a level 10 early-stage cultivator, and he knew that the strength of a level 10 early-stage cultivator should not be underestimated.

"You're about to die and you still don't realize it, how laughable! Did the Northeast King send you here? He doesn't dare to deal with us, so he sent you as cannon fodder to test our strength, do you know that? Let's not even talk about how you're no match for us, even if you were our match, you would still be swallowed up by the power of the Northeast King's Mansion! Fighting the battle for the Northeast King's Mansion, and you even say you'd rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox, how ridiculous!" Fang Ao sneered.

"Hehe, I'm just a pirate captain, I have nothing to do with the King of the Northeast, you're overthinking it," Black Skull said with a faint smile.

"Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for being impolite." After a pause, Black Skull said, "Brothers, begin the attack."

"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle—"

Instantly, powerful energy attacks came from all directions.

Fang Ao's expression changed drastically.

He didn't expect the other party to make a move so quickly.

Just a moment ago, the other party was trying to win him over; this change is too drastic.

Fang Ao quickly turned around and looked at Lin Yun.

"Yang Yi, Yang Er, Yang San, Yang Si, Yang Wu, you take action, but don't damage these warships. The rest of you, protect the warships." Lin Yun said calmly and unhurriedly.

The original Yang Er, along with the nine level-ten peak robots purchased later, and Yang Yi, who had the strength of a level-ten mid-stage martial artist, were exchanged for a level-ten peak robot.

There are eleven level 10 peak robots in total.

It would be a miracle if he were moved by this tiny pirate crew.

"Yes, Master."

Following Lin Yun's words, the men in black quickly teleported towards the outer reaches of the starry sky.

Ultimately, Alanan did not insist on his image issue. These new robots were all given the image of Earth humans by Lin Yun, dressed in black, which was still Lin Yun's consistent style.

Yang Er's appearance remained unchanged, but Lin Yun had changed his red clothes to black.

"These... these people?"

Fang Ao looked at these people with a shocked expression.

These people's teleportation speed is extremely powerful. Based on his experience of seeing Yang Er in action, how could he not see that the strength of these men in black has reached the level of peak level 10 martial artists?

Five peak level 10 martial artists?

sky!

He didn't see wrong, did he?

At this moment, Fang Ao was extremely shocked.

What does this mean?

"What?"

On the other side, Black Skull was also startled by this scene and exclaimed in surprise.

As a level 10 early-stage cultivator, he naturally possessed exceptional eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the strength of these men in black all surpassed his, and by a significant margin.

Could these five people be mid-level level 10 cultivators?

No, a late-stage level 10 cultivator?

At least a late-stage level 10 cultivator!

He had never seen a level 10 peak cultivator, and for a moment, he could not determine the specific realms of Yang Yi to Yang Wu!

However, this did not prevent him from judging that the strength of these five people was definitely beyond what their fleet could handle!

They've really hit a brick wall this time!
