NOVPUB"Misunderstanding! It’s a misunderstanding!"
The Black Skeleton argued hastily.
However, at this point, did apologizing for a misunderstanding do any good?
"Buzz—Buzz—"
Both Yang One and Yang Two teleported quickly into five top-grade battleships of the sixth-level technological civilization.
The Black Skeleton’s face reddened.
Originally, he thought that if Fang Ao dared to teleport into his battleship, he would intercept him, or he might even choose to fight inside the ship and let the ship unleash an internal attack.
He intended to turn the ship into a trap that Fang Ao could enter, but not leave.
However, who could have predicted that Fang Ao did not act at all?
Instead, it was five other terrifyingly strong individuals who made their moves.
At least they were late-stage level ten cultivators!
No…not late-stage level ten cultivators!
The peak of a large realm usually gave a special feeling, and now Black Skeleton realized that these five individuals were surprisingly peak level ten cultivators!
His heart shuddered again.
How was that possible?
The entire Kodis Empire might not even have a single peak level ten cultivator!
Yet, within one superior battleship of a sixth-level technological civilization, there were five of them!
But this was the reality!
In such a situation, how could he still dare to intercept and engage in an internal battle?
"Go! Go now!"
The Black Skeleton yelled tremblingly.
Whoosh—
As his words fell, he was the first to maneuver his battleship and ran in the opposite direction.
An eighth-level mental strength practitioner could single-handedly control a sixth-level battleship and he, who had achieved late-stage level nine in mental strength, could naturally do the same.
Moreover, his ship maneuvering skills were highly advanced. Before becoming a pirate, he was a star pilot in an army.
He believed that as long as he gained some distance, he could escape.
The other party’s battleship was only a superior ship of a sixth-level technological civilization, after all.
What he was worried about were the five peak level ten cultivators…
At this moment, he cursed the one who had relayed the message.
This was simply being led to the slaughter.
What Fang Ao had said was correct…
They were using him as cannon fodder!
He was at death’s door without realizing it!
Did he still think of recruiting them?
"Boom—Boom—"
Just then, numerous attacks by the Black Skeleton Pirate Group landed on Lin Yun’s battleship. However, powerful domain powers emanated from within Lin Yun’s ship. Many attacks entering the domain melted away as if they were snowflakes falling into a fire.
"The Domain Power of a peak level ten cultivator, not just one but many. How many peak level ten cultivators are inside this ship? Who exactly is the owner of this ship…"
In the midst of his escape, the Black Skeleton caught a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye. His eyelid twitched slightly as he grumbled bitterly in his heart.
He knew that he was completely finished this time.
Originally, he was still thinking that they had fewer people and more ships, and they might be able to escape with a few of their ships.
Now, he considered himself fortunate if he could escape at all.
...
At the Northeast Royal Mansion.
A surveillance device was displaying the battle between Lin Yun and the Black Skeleton pirate group.
Rather than a battle, it was more like a slaughter.
The sight of five peak rank ten cultivators in the video caused a dramatic change in Bo Donghai’s complexion and left him utterly shocked.
When the Domain Powers of the peak rank ten cultivators reverberated again from the battleship Lin Yun and his team were on, his heart convulsed once more.
"This...isn’t this power too formidable?"
"No wonder they dared to venture out with a single premium battleship of a sixth-level technological civilization without fear of any accidents. There are so many terrifyingly powerful individuals aboard this battleship. The combat power of a single peak rank ten cultivator is equivalent to a premium battleship of a seventh-level technological civilization.
Just how many such battleships are there..."
"Most importantly, in certain aspects, cultivators have advantages over battleships, such as in close combat..."

Bo Donghai’s face turned pale.
The last point made him feel even more terrified.
Thank goodness he hadn’t made a move earlier. If he had, he would most likely be in a place of no return now.
However, his face quickly turned as white as a sheet again.
Although he hadn’t taken any action against these people...
The Black Skeleton pirate group had secretly received information from him!
If the Black Skeleton were captured and this information leaked out, wouldn’t the Northeast Royal Mansion also be in grave danger?
"Quick! We must leave here immediately!"
Bo Donghai quickly got up.
...
In outer space.
It took Yang One and his team just a few minutes to subdue the over twenty battleships of the Black Skeleton pirate group, and of course, the Black Skeleton himself did not get away.
It was then that Fang Ao became aware of just how many rank ten peak cultivators were aboard this battleship.
Eleven peak cultivators of rank ten stood beside the Black Skeleton, causing him to tremble in fear.
At that moment, he realized just how tough the opponent he had provoked was.
Those who always walk by the river are bound to get their feet wet. After millennia of piracy, he had finally brought himself to a dead end.
"Lead me to your lair..." Lin Yun said to the Black Skeleton.
A few hours later, they arrived on a planet.
Nearly a hundred battleships, each not ordinary but at least a lower-grade battleship of a sixth-level technological civilization, various rare resources piled up into small mountains, and over three thousand billion Spirit Crystals.
The resources in the Black Skeleton’s lair made Fang Ao sigh deeply.
True to their reputation as the famous pirate group of the Kodis Empire, they had amassed such a vast wealth.
"Is this Black Skeleton a wanted criminal of the Kodis Empire?" Lin Yun turned his head to look at Fang Ao.
"Wanted S-class criminal. Apart from the mythical double S and triple S class criminals who haven’t appeared in many years, he could already be considered top-tier," Fang Ao nodded.
"Then do you know how much his bounty is?" Lin Yun asked.
This time, they gained quite a lot, assorted goods worth nearly ten thousand billion Spirit Crystals. This was mostly pure profit, leaving him in high spirits.
With this, the Spirit Crystals he had spent earlier to buy the rank ten peak robots were all recovered.
"Master, master, please spare me, I will repay your kindness by serving you like a beast of burden..." the Black Skeleton quickly knelt and pleaded in utter terror.
"Over a hundred years ago, the Black Skeleton pirate group attacked the fifteenth princess’s fleet. The Princess was abducted by them. After that incident, the bounty on the Black Skeleton was increased to a hundred billion Spirit Crystals.
If you hand him over to the Kodis Royal Family, his fate won’t be pleasant." Fang Ao looked at Lin Yun and laughed, seeing the terrified expression of the Black Skeleton.
"What ended up happening to the fifteenth princess…" Lin Yun asked in astonishment.
How dare the Black Skeleton abduct a princess of the Empire? The Black Skeleton had some nerve. His power didn’t seem to be enough to withstand the Royal Family, right?
"Unable to bear the humiliation, she died," the Black Skeleton hesitantly replied in a cautious tone.
"One hundred billion Spirit Crystals is not a small number, it wouldn’t be bad to go and collect the bounty." A cold look flashed in Lin Yun’s eyes as he said slowly.
He didn’t want such a person, especially at the cost of one hundred billion Spirit Crystals.
With one hundred billion Spirit Crystals, he could purchase another ten early-stage rank ten robots, and that’s without any discounts.
"Yang One, Yang Two, seal his powers and guard him closely. Don’t let him die," Lin Yun ordered.
"Yes, Master." Yang One and Yang Two stepped forward, both unleashing a powerful force into the Black Skeleton’s body.
