Soon, after Bo Donghai’s subordinates verified the battleships, Lin Yun bowed and made his exit.
Bo Donghai’s face slightly changed.
Thoughts flashed rapidly in his mind.
One top-tier battleship of a seventh-level civilization and two high-tier battleships of a seventh-level civilization were now fully under his control. They constituted a terrifying force.
Adding to that, the other forces he had arranged around himself.
He genuinely wanted these forces to make a move on Lin Yun and his team...
Thirty trillion spirit crystals represented an enormous fortune, almost draining the Northeast Royal Mansion’s many years of accumulated wealth.
Now, with such a vast number of spirit crystals on them, if he captured these people, this staggering wealth would be regained.
Besides, there was one more important matter.
All these battleships, casually offered by the other party, who knew how many more battleships the other party had?
Perhaps, the number of other battleships on the other party may even exceed the number of battleships sold to him.
Thus, this would be an even greater fortune.
If he managed to capture them, the power of the Northeast Royal Mansion would increase by at least several times.
It had to be said that this was a huge temptation.
However, he had to consider whether the other party, as a top power of a seventh-level technological civilization, would sell so many battleships to him so brazenly, without any hesitation. Wouldn’t there be some prepared countermeasures?
...
"I did not expect the Northeast King to be so insightful..."
In the starry sky, a top-tier battleship of a sixth-level technological civilization left the Kodis Empire’s Northeast Star Domain. Lin Yun stood in the central control room, looking out at the bright stars. Fang Ao walked over, laughing.
Such a huge wealth temptation, the Northeast King actually resisted not making a move.
"Is that so? Maybe not." Lin Yun replied with a faint smile.
Earlier, when he was on the administrative star, his mental strength had risen to the lower ranks of the tenth level.
His vast mental strength led him to detect some very subtle information.
"Could it be?" Fang Ao’s face slightly changed upon hearing this.
"It’s hard to say. Many human actions are just a thought away. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t," Lin Yun shook his head and replied.
The conversation was very vague, as if they were speaking in riddles.
...
"Such a great fortune. If I acquire it, it would multiply the power of my Northeast Royal Mansion several times over. After hundreds of thousands of years of cumulative achievement that my Northeast Royal Mansion has today, multiplied power would be equivalent to over a million years of accumulation. If I miss this opportunity, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."
In the Northeast Royal Mansion, Bo Donghai closed his eyes, whispering.
"Could the other party just be a destitute offspring of a seventh-level technological civilization power? Otherwise, at the age of just over twenty, in their best growth period, why would they do such a thing? Otherwise, why would they come in control of just one top-tier battleship of a sixth-level civilization? Even if they wanted to be careful, they wouldn’t need to be so cautious.
It’s very likely... they don’t have many people, they can’t even control two top-tier battleships of a sixth-level civilization?"
Bo Donghai murmured.
If this was the case, it wouldn’t be a dangerous situation.
However, the other party was flaunting wealth without any protective measures.
Thinking about it now, it’s very likely.
Otherwise, even if they wanted to avoid trouble, they would show off some capabilities, but the other party didn’t.
People tend to have wishful thinking. Once they decide to do something, they will think about it in many favorable ways.
Shortly after Lin Yun and his group left, news spread from the Northeast Royal Mansion.
...
In a desolate star domain, on a planet.
At the core of the planet, battleships engraved with black skulls were hidden.
"Haha, we’re in luck today. We looted a perfectly intact high-grade battleship of the sixth level and earned tens of billions of spirit crystals in one go!"
"Plus, the materials on those transport ships. All processed out, that’s another harvest of tens of billions of spirit crystals!"
"Thanks to the boss! The strength of the tenth level is really impressive, the defense layer of the high-grade sixth-level battleship cannot stop the boss’s teleportation, the people inside the battleship are no match for the boss! Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to have such a big gain!"
"Come on, let’s drink to celebrate this great victory!"
"This cup of wine, let’s toast to the boss!"
A group of burly men at a wine table picked up their cups and laughed loudly.
From their words, it wasn’t hard to hear that they were notorious interstellar pirates. Moreover, they weren’t ordinary pirates. Their leader was a tenth-level cultivator.
The pirate leader, a burly middle-aged man, was also laughing and drinking the toast of his subordinates.
"Hm? Information?"
Suddenly, the pirate leader’s mind moved, he put down his wine cup and began to check the information.
"A sixth-level top-tier battleship, a great big fat sheep?" The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The source of this information was not displayed, but he knew very well where it came from.
"Brothers, put down your drinks, there’s a big deal coming. Pack up, we’re setting out!"
The middle-aged man rose and shouted.
...
Meanwhile, Lin Yun’s battleship continued to sail ahead.
Suddenly, battleships began to appear around them, rapidly forming an encirclement.
"The Black Skeleton Pirates?"
Seeing these battleships, Fang Ao furrowed his brow.
"You recognize them?" Lin Yun looked up at Fang Ao.
"I don’t personally know them, but I’ve heard of them. This pirate group is quite famous in the Kodis Empire. The leader is said to be a grade 10 early-stage cultivator, and he has more than a dozen grade six peak technology civilization battleships under his command, making them pretty formidable…"
Fang Ao shook his head.
"However, it seems that this pirate group is even stronger than the rumors suggest. They have up to twenty grade six peak technology civilization battleships." After a pause, Fang Ao looked at the fleet of battleships on the screen and continued.
The strength of this pirate group was in fact not weak, but they were hardly a match for them.
Merely with the robot of peak grade ten martial artist strength by Lin Yun’s side, this pirate fleet was beaten.
However, they only had one grade six peak technology civilization battleship, and there were over a hundred thousand people on this battleship. If a battle were to ensue, it would be somewhat troublesome.
"It’s good you don’t recognize them." Lin Yun nodded slightly.
"Beep beep beep——"
At this moment, a communication signal came from the battleship Lin Yun was on.
"Connect." Lin Yun said.
"Hahaha, the Black Skeletons are here to plunder. Do you choose your lives or your wealth? You’d better decide!" A burly middle-aged man appeared on the screen, laughing uproariously.
This man was indeed the leader of the Black Skeletons, that grade ten early-stage cultivator.
"So you’re the Black Skeleton? Asking for lives or wealth? How audacious!" Fang Ao gave a cold chuckle.
The Black Skeleton was a top fugitive in the Kodis Empire, and he had seen images of this man before. This was indeed the man.
"You are the newly inaugurated guest Fang Ao of the Kodis Empire, right? Hehe, such an impressive record at such a young age. You, sir, have a boundless future ahead of you. It’s always better to lead than to follow. What future is there for a distinguished grade ten cultivator like you serving the royal family? Why not live freely with us?
We can be equals. How does that sound?" Black Skeleton looked at Fang Ao, laughing.
The new guest of the Kodis Empire, Fang Ao, was on this battleship. He had received this information.
It was this information that had convinced him to lead the majority of the forces to undertake this mission.
He himself was a grade ten early-stage cultivator. He knew full well that a grade ten early-stage cultivator’s strength was not to be underestimated.
"So unaware of your impending doom! It’s laughable! Did the Northeast King send you here? He’s too afraid to face us himself, so he is using you as a pawn to probe our strength. Do you realize this? Leaving aside the fact that you are no match for us, even if you were, you’d be swallowed up by the power of the Northeast Royal Mansion!
You’re a mere front-line fighter for the Northeast Royal Mansion, yet you talk about leading instead of following? How absurd!" Fang Ao sneered.
"Hehe, I’m just a pirate boss. I’m not much concerned with the Northeast King. You’re overthinking things." Black Skeleton chuckled.
"Since you refuse to recognize your situation, don’t blame us for being unceremonious." After a pause, the Black Skeleton ordered: "Brothers, start the attack."
"Zing——Zing——Zing——"
Immediately, powerful energy attacks were launched from all directions.
Fang Ao’s face changed drastically.
He did not expect the enemy to attack so suddenly.
Just a moment ago, they were trying to win him over. This was quite a dramatic change.
Fang Ao quickly turned to look at Lin Yun.
"Yang One, Yang Two, Yang Three, Yang Four, Yang Five, you take action. Make sure not to damage these battleships. The rest of you, protect our ship." Lin Yun, undisturbed, gave the order.
The initial Yang Two, plus the nine peak grade ten robots he bought later, and Yang One — a peak grade ten robot after being upgraded, totaled eleven peak grade ten robots.
If he was afraid of this little pirate gang, then he must be seeing things.
"Yes, master."
Following Lin Yun’s command, several figures in black quickly teleported towards outer space.
In the end, Alanan did not insist on his original style. These new robots all had the human form provided by Lin Yun, dressed in black according to his signature style.
Yang Two looked the same, but his red outfit had been replaced by Lin Yun with black clothing.
"These...these people?"
Fang Ao watched them, his face filled with astonishment.
The teleportation speed of these people was extraordinary. From what he had seen of Yang Two’s attacks, he could easily tell their strength — all of them were at the peak grade ten martial artist level.
Five peak grade ten martial artists?
Heavens!
Was he seeing correctly?
At this moment, Fang Ao felt extreme shock.
What did this mean?
"What?!"
On the other side, the Black Skeleton was also taken aback.
As a grade ten early-stage cultivator, his eyesight was excellent. He was able to determine at a glance that the strength of these people in black was above his own, by quite a considerable margin.
Could these five be grade ten mid-stage cultivators?
No, grade ten late-stage cultivators?
At the very least, they had to be late-stage grade ten cultivators!

He had never met a peak grade ten cultivator, so he couldn’t rightly determine the specific levels of Yang One to Yang Five!
However, this didn’t prevent him from concluding that the strength of these five individuals was far beyond what their pirate fleet could handle!
They really had hit a snag this time!
