Chapter 2965 - 2965: Naive Star Pirates!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Chen and Liu Yao hated star pirates. The two of them hated the star pirates themselves, but not the way they lived.

The competition between the various species for territory and resources was

essentially a form of plundering. The star pirates’ way of living was not a problem, but their actions extended beyond mere plundering to actively exterminating other species and factions.

It was different from the wars between the various species and factions in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for resources.

Moreover, the wars for territory resources were usually comparable in strength. Even if there was a difference, it would not be much.

However, the star pirates would target those factions and species that were much weaker than them, which was equivalent to depriving them of the chance to survive.

If Liu Chen and Liu Yao had managed to capture such a skilled star pirate group, they would have considered utilizing them. This tactic mirrored their approach when they raided Treasure City in search of their offspring.

While the star pirates could have been valuable assets to Liu Chen and Liu Yao, they believed Lin Yuan wouldn’t opt for this strategy. Consequently, once the identities of the star pirates were confirmed, their destinies were sealed.

“What’s the reason for your sudden attack on us? Could it be that you’ve encountered fellow star pirates?”

Among this group of people, only the man in the lead and the red-eyed woman with two long horns on her head were relatively calm. Everyone else had panicked expressions on their faces.

Liu Chen and Liu Yao did not release their auras, but they did not deliberately hide them.

This group of star pirates already knew that Liu Chen and Liu Yao were targets that they could not surpass no matter what. If these two people had malicious intentions toward them, they would be at their mercy. In such a desolate and remote place like North of the Lonely River, it was very difficult to find a Holy Spirit expert.

The leaders of those powerful factions might not even have the strength to reach the Holy Spirit level. Why did two experts above the Holy Spirit level suddenly appear? How could such experts appear so casually?

Even in an extremely prosperous place like the Sky Beyond the Clouds, encountering such experts was an exceedingly rare occurrence.

Liu Yao was mistaken for one of the star pirates, and anger flashed across her face. She never thought that she would one day be regarded as a star pirate.

“Heh, peers? My Lord hates star pirates the most. It will be impossible to find your peers here. We’ve already learned about your intentions through your conversation. Since you have your eyes set on Jin Chen, he’s the one we consider our peer. Since that’s the case, follow me back and meet my Lord!”

Liu Yao did not waste her breath on these star pirates. She would just bring them back and hand them over to Lin Yuan.

However, Liu Yao’s words revealed two pieces of information to these star pirates. The people who had captured them were not targeting them and were also following orders.

What kind of existence could command these two fellows whose strength had already surpassed the Holy Spirit level?!

The person who commanded these two fellows hated star pirates—this was not good news for them.

Other than that, these star pirates also knew that their target was from the same faction as these two fellows. Upon understanding these two points, these star pirates couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.

This elite star pirate group had faced many dangers before, but this was the first time they were completely controlled by someone without any chance to resist.

The red-eyed woman with long horns on her head was no longer calm. She turned her head and looked at the man in the lead.

Jia Ba had experienced countless situations, big and small, and he could calmly analyze the problem in every situation. Now, Jia Ba hadn’t even met this Lord, and he was at a loss about what to do next.

While the other members of this star pirate group needed Jia Ba to come up with a plan, he did not do anything and this caused him to lose the trust of the people. If Jia Ba were to raise the matter of the Creation Conference and the Sacred Body Stone now, at least half of these people would voice their opinions.

While Liu Chen reported to Lin Yuan, Liu Yao would look after the star pirates.

Lin Yuan was currently in Sky City’s meeting room, thinking about the construction of fortifications at the edge of the Lonely River.

Summer had already nurtured Thriving Summer Rising Clouds.

However, Thriving Summer Rising Clouds needed to be planted at the edge of the Lonely River one after another. Yet, invaders had already appeared.

If Bei Xu hadn’t discovered the invaders and reported them promptly, the consequences would have been unimaginable had they actually crossed the Lonely River, discovered the faith country, and spread the news.

Lin Yuan knew that Liu Chen and Liu Yao would immediately report to him after finding out their purpose.

Lin Yuan’s fingers lightly tapped on the table, emitting a beeping sound.

Wen Yu, who was sitting beside Lin Yuan, knew that this was something Lin Yuan would subconsciously do when he was thinking.

“Young Master, I think there’s a high probability that these people followed Jin Chen here. We discovered very early on that after these people controlled these people, there probably wouldn’t be much of an impact!”

Lin Yuan shook his head. “Now, our Sky City’s influence has spread too wide. The faith country is a cake large enough to drive any faction crazy. We have to take precautions.

“To target Jin Chen, this group needs some knowledge about him. I doubt those who’ve come are all there is. If other members have stayed back in Treasure City or elsewhere and notice the group’s disappearance, they’ll likely try hard to find them. Smart folks use resources wisely. We can’t assume they lack smart members elsewhere.”

Wen Yu’s heart tightened at the revelation. She realized her oversimplification and underestimation of the opposing faction’s prowess. The group that had converged on the banks of the Lonely River possessed formidable strength.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have set their sights on a Holy Spirit expert like Jin Chen.

At that moment, there was a knock on the meeting room door. Wen Yu walked up and opened the door.

Upon seeing Liu Chen standing at the door, Wen Yu gestured for him to enter.

Liu Chen bowed to Wen Yu and stood beside Lin Yuan. “Young Master, when I was monitoring this group of people according to your instructions, I learned they are a star pirate group that specializes in targeting elite factions.

“This group of people followed Jin Chen not only to rob him but also to find out the faction behind him. Now we have captured them, you can question them at any time! ”

Upon hearing Liu Chen’s report, Lin Yuan felt relieved. If it was the star pirates, everything would be easy to resolve.

Moreover, Lin Yuan was certain that these star pirates did not collude with Fortune Treasure Palace and did not know that Jin Chen was his subordinate. Otherwise, if this star pirate group knew that Jin Chen possessed such huge wealth, they would have already robbed him on the way back.

In the battle to protect Treasure City, Lin Yuan had let Winter display his strength. The higher-ups of Treasure City were all aware that Winter was his subordinate. If this elite star pirate group knew about him and knew that Jin Chen was one of his people, how would they have dared to come here!?

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask Liu Chen to bring the star pirates in, he heard Liu Chen say after some deliberation, “Young Master, based on the communication between the leader of this star pirate group and his subordinates, I learned two pieces of information.

“The first piece of information is that this star pirate group followed Jin Chen’s aura according to the aura-seeking earthworms. They tailed Jin Chen from a very far distance, so Jin Chen didn’t discover them.

“The second piece of information is that this star pirate group might have a

Sacred Body Stone. They mentioned something related to the Sacred Body Stone.”

It had taken Liu Chen a long time to tell Lin Yuan about this situation because he had been conflicted about whether he should report it to Lin Yuan.

Liu Chen knew very well that he could not fully believe the words of this star pirate group. There was too much deceit among the star pirates. What if the leader of this star pirate group was deceiving the other members and there was actually no Sacred Body Stone?

If he told Lin Yuan this information, it would be equivalent to him spreading false information to Lin Yuan. In that case, it was very likely that he would lose Lin Yuan’s trust.

However, the situation with the Sacred Body Stone was no small matter. Liu Chen believed that even if he reported the wrong information, it was better than knowing but not reporting it.

Lin Yuan had never doubted Jin Chen’s loyalty, so his heart did not waver when he heard Liu Chen’s words. It was only when Liu Chen mentioned the Sacred

Body Stone that Lin Yuan’s heartstrings began to stir.

The Sacred Body Stone was a treasure that Lin Yuan only recently learned about, which was capable of allowing lifeforms to activate their body composition.

Lin Yuan harbored the intention to activate the body composition of the elite core members of Sky City, and Winter had previously mentioned to him the difficulty in finding one. Now, Lin Yuan had obtained a chance to obtain the Sacred Body Stone. This was simply a great thing!

Lin Yuan raised his hand and threw a ring-shaped fey storage box with the Nine-Headed Snake totem carved on it at Liu Chen.

Liu Chen quickly took the fey storage box from Lin Yuan.

“Your offspring have already broken out of their shells for some time. The both of you won’t have the chance to obtain resources on your own if you follow us.

“A young Nine-Headed Snake requires resources the most. In addition to spirit qi crystals, there are 11 types of nearly 100% pure elemental energy available. You can decide which type of energy to allow your offspring to absorb. The remaining resources are sufficient for the two of you to use in the short term.”

Ever since Liu Chen and Liu Yao had been recruited by Lin Yuan, they had always been conscientious and had solved many problems for him.

Apart from Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, Liu Chen and Liu Yao were considered Lin Yuan’s strongest subordinates. Hence, Lin Yuan would not treat Liu Chen and Liu Yao lightly.

If Lin Yuan did not fulfill Liu Chen and Liu Yao’s request to nurture their offspring, it was likely that they wouldn’t continue to wholeheartedly serve Lin

Yuan.

Liu Chen used his spiritual energy to check the resources in the fey storage box, and the contents shocked him.

Lin Yuan had indeed given Liu Chen and Liu Yao numerous resources. In the past two weeks, they had been using these resources very carefully.

Just as Lin Yuan had mentioned, Liu Chen and Liu Yao, who served Lin Yuan by his side, could no longer obtain resources outside like before. Therefore, they started to worry about nurturing their offspring. However, before Liu Chen and Liu Yao could worry for long, Lin Yuan gave them a solution. This was equivalent to liberating Liu Chen and Liu Yao to a certain extent.

With Liu Chen and Liu Yao’s strength, no matter how hard they worked outside, they would not be able to obtain elemental energy with 100% purity. A type of pure elemental energy was exceedingly rare, and Lin Yuan’s gift comprised as many as eleven types of it. With this pure elemental energy, not only could the two of them nurture their offspring, but their strength and bloodline would also obtain a chance to evolve.

Liu Chen told Lin Yuan gratefully and sincerely, “Young Master, thank you for your gift. Liu Yao and I will definitely do our best for you in the future. We’re truly grateful to you for nurturing us.”

Lin Yuan raised his hand to help Liu Chen up. “You’re treating me like an outsider. You and Liu Yao have already become part of Sky City and have contributed a lot to Sky City. You deserve this. In the future, if I obtain more Sacred Body Stones, I can consider activating your body composition for you,

Liu Yao, and your descendants!”

Liu Chen had been by Lin Yuan’s side for a long time, and he knew that the experts who had submitted to Lin Yuan had received rewards and changed their fates. If not for Lin Yuan, it would have been impossible for Qin Yu to become a Bloodian Queen!

Lin Yuan was not one to make empty promises. He would likely fulfill all his promises in the future.

After thanking Lin Yuan again, Liu Chen contacted Liu Yao and asked her to bring the star pirates in.

Liu Chen and Liu Yao stood beside Lin Yuan and Wen Yu respectively. They released their auras above the Holy Spirit level and enveloped the 40-odd members of the star pirate group.

Lin Yuan scanned the dozens of star pirates and realized that there were nine of them who had reached the Holy Spirit level. It should not be difficult to choose an existence suitable to be a holy maid among the nine of them.

Before Lin Yuan could speak, the rough-looking middle-aged star pirate could not help but shout, “We’ve never done anything to harm you. Even if we targeted your subordinates, we haven’t done anything yet. I don’t think we’re enemies yet!”

The one-eyed star pirate’s words made Lin Yuan laugh in anger. If he were to convict these star pirates according to the method he used in his previous life, it would probably be the difference between murder and attempted murder. Since they already had the intention to plunder and kill him, how could they not be enemies?

Someone who had been a star pirate for so long would not be so naive, right?!
