The eting soon ca to an end.
Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City were deed trustworthy, especially after Old Gore brought in so professional researchers who reviewed the research docunt and, astounded, confird its feasibility, stating it was indeed practical and not a fabrication.
If they were willing to hand over sothing this important rely to gain our trust...
What could their sche possibly entail?
And in fact...
"The plan is going smoothly!"
Inside the room, Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City were chatting, discussing their encounters with the Shilin Race on their journey, evidently to reassure those eavesdropping through surveillance.
Their phones, however, were busy, their multitasking skills incredibly proficient.
Iron Hedgehog: They really fell for it. Despite so hurdles along the way, our plan to drive the wolf and swallow the tiger has finally succeeded.
Red Dog: Zhou Mu had it rough—not only did you kill him, but even his corpse was used. Now you’ve even taken his na and forcibly changed his surna to Zhou Mu·Sparrow. The Zhou Family’s three generations have died tragically, and now it seems Zhou Qianmo’s only daughter-in-law won’t escape your clutches either.
Iron Hedgehog: "There was no other choice. We can’t defeat these Shilin people, but these pirates have been dominating the cosmos for so many years. Considering the Shilin don’t have warships, the chances of the pirates winning are high."
Red Dog: But the problem is, you gave them the Transformation Capsule formula.
Iron Hedgehog: That’s not an issue. If the Shilin win, we won’t have to worry about this. If the pirates win, then the crisis on Xuyun Star will be averted. They would take months just to mine, and by the ti we return to the Polar Star Battlefield in a month, ten Star Annihilator Cannons will turn Xuyun Star to dust.
Looking at Han Yun City’s dumbfounded face, Xu Lingjun smiled and continued typing: "Do you think Old Gore and his n can survive the Star Annihilator Cannon? Even if they do, all the Void Gold will be destroyed, making the Void Gold we have the only ones left. Even with the formula, without Void Gold, the formula is useless."
Red Dog: Be careful. This Gore Sparrow is a cunning old fox. Playing mind gas with him, if you end up losing, you’ll cry with nowhere to go.
Iron Hedgehog: Nonsense. Old Gore is my grandfather. I’m just trying to inherit the Pirate King’s position from him. What sinister thoughts could a grandson have? I just want to be filial to my grandfather while caring for my mother.
Red Dog: That Sara... looks at you strangely.
Iron Hedgehog: Obviously. You suddenly gain a son, your eyes would be strange too.
The two continued to chat for quite a bit, ensuring their mutual understanding before swiftly deleting all the contents from their phones.
Even if these were their private devices, they couldn’t rule out the possibility of soone wanting to check their phones... in which case, they’d have to unlock them for inspection willingly.
In the blink of an eye, three or four days had passed.
During these days,
the entire pirate planet had beco operational.
In just a few days, these highly mobile and keen-sensed pirates had gathered a vast amount of information.
"Boss, just as the young master predicted, we dispatched several micro warships into the atmosphere, hovering over Xuyun Star. Three warships were shot down, but the attacks ca from the ground, and there were no encounters with any warships!"
A Mysterious race of the heavens with three eyes was excitedly reporting their findings to Old Gore.
It coincided with the information previously provided by Xu Lingjun.
Hearing this, Old Gore nodded: "Looks like we were too cautious before. Because Xuyun Star is a dead star, unfit for human habitation, and the Shilin are too repulsive, we didn’t consider re-claiming this planet under our command. Now, learning that Void Gold has such a use, fortune favors us, helping us beco cosmic overlords."
He didn’t lose his composure but instead turned to another person.
This person’s physique was identical to a human but had eight spider claws sprouting from their back.
Old Gore asked, "By the way, I asked you to investigate the backgrounds of Zhou Mu and Han Yun City. How has that gone?"
"Boss, ti was limited, and entering Blue Star to investigate thoroughly wasn’t possible, but during this period, a number of people from Blue Star ended up here. We obtained very crucial information from them."
The Spiderman said: "Recently, the Great Xia Empire’s biggest news involves Zhou Qianmo attempting to assassinate a young man nad Xu Lingjun, then being killed by adversaries. According to evidence, soone was indeed assisting Zhou Qianmo in the shadows at the ti..."
"And the Zhou Family..."
"All dead."
The Spiderman said: "Furthermore, the entire Zhou Family has been demoted to commoners. Of course... in reality, no living mber of the Zhou Family remains on the surface, so this punishnt is just a formality."
"So, the kid wasn’t lying after all. He did, however, conceal the most critical fact."
Old Gore said calmly: "The kid didn’t co here specifically to be the Pirate King, he’s fleeing from danger... because neither the Great Xia Empire nor Blue Star can tolerate him anymore. In that sense, his words are still worth trusting."
The Spiderman asked tentatively: "Could it be that Zhou Mu isn’t actually Zhou Mu? Since Roger is already dead, what if soone assud his identity and ca here... like Xu Lingjun, who, as I understand, is hailed as the top young man of his generation. Didn’t you also praise this Zhou Mu as very formidable...?"
"Nonsense!"
Old Gore sneered: "I personally tested him to see his capabilities. The kid’s Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique is remarkable. I’ve had several bouts with Roger, and I understand the Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique well. I even practice this technique, as Roger used it to pay respect to ."
He said: "While Zhou Mu’s overall strength might not yet match Roger’s, the power of his Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique surpasses Roger’s. Only soone like Zhou Qianmo with years of painstaking dedication could have enhanced this Martial Skill to such an extent! Roger, not having seen his father for many years, thus didn’t have the chance to practice the improved version of the Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique. This much I can discern."
He glanced at the Spiderman and said: "Unless you’re suggesting Xu Lingjun killed Zhou Qianmo and then acquired his Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique?"
"That... could be very likely?"
Old Gore said calmly: "Of course, it’s very possible, but no matter how exceptionally talented Xu Lingjun is, it’s unlikely he could have improved a Supre Level Martial Skill to surpass even Roger’s in just a few months, right? So with just this one point, I can assert he can’t be Xu Lingjun. If he is Xu Lingjun, I, this old man, wouldn’t mind if I were to be subtly killed by them. I’d still be willing to say that."
"Whatever you say, boss. Then what should we do next...?"
"Next?"
A fiery gleam flashed in Old Gore’s eyes as he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Next, we shall advance towards Xuyun Star, taking control of all the Void Gold under my command! Since the Shilin have completely lost control of the air, why should we show them any courtesy? Let’s storm in... bombard the Shilin to smithereens, and welco a new Chapter for our Pirate Civilization!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded loudly in unison, their expressions equally filled with excitent.
