The coldness in Fengyu Zhong's eyes turned into delight. He raised his eyebrow and mumbled, "There's news about Ah Ming!"
Turning on the crystal processor, Li Yao saw a fat, middle-aged woman on the light beam. Her face was rather plain. She was as invisible as a drop of water in an ocean when she blended into the crowd.
The middle-aged woman's name was Pang Wushuang. She was Fengyu Zhong's wife and the daughter of the leader of 'Black Spider Tower', a mysterious organization on Spider Den.
Black Spider Tower was an evil organization that focused on intelligence and assassination.
When the space pirates went out for looting, they naturally had to know everything about their prey. They needed to know when and what valuable goods were sent from which world fragment to another space fortress and who the guards were. They could only take action after they knew everything.
Otherwise, it would be easy for them to run into trouble. If several experts from Jin Dan were accompanying them, there was no way that they would be unlucky enough to get into trouble.
When faced with the sieges of the righteous sects, intelligence work was particularly important, too. It was a matter of life and death.
Black Spider Tower was an organization that the space pirates had gradually formed after thousands of years of living in the shadows. Countless intelligence agents had been trained to infiltrate the righteous sects. On one hand, they were there to collect intelligence. On the other hand, they were there to stir trouble among the righteous sects. They raised countless assassins and assassins to eliminate the space pirates on the righteous sects.
As the daughter of the leader of Black Spider Tower, although Pang Wushuang was not strong enough, she had a lot of forces under her command.
Fengyu Zhong had escaped from the sieges of the righteous sects time and time again with the intelligence of Black Spider Tower.
At this moment … The expression on Pang Wushuang's face was even more dreadful than that of a devil. Her every muscle was shivering. Black flames were almost spurting out of her hollowed eye sockets.
Fengyu Zhong's smile froze. His face suddenly changed. He asked in a hurry, "How is Ah Ming?"
"Ah Ming is dead! Our only son is dead! "
Pang Wushuang cried desperately. "He was hunted by the Great Horn Exo Society for more than two months. Eventually, they caught up with him at the edge of the sea of stars and killed him. He died without an intact body!
"He was thrown into the crystal reactor of Ghost Jail alive and burnt into ashes. Not even his bones were left. The only things left were the scraps of 'Dark Fire'!
"I watched the video. It was indeed Dark Fire. They were the scraps of Dark Fire!"
"Ka!"
With Fengyu Zhong's feet as the center, the floor of the torture chamber cracked. The spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly in all directions, along the corners of the walls, and finally up to the ceiling!
Thousands of crisscrossing cracks instantly appeared on the ceiling.
The dim illumination rune arrays exploded one after another.
The torture chamber was immediately enshrouded in boundless darkness. Only Fengyu Zhong's beast-like breathing could be heard, and his eyes that contained a storm could be seen!
"Impossible! I gave Ah Ming three Cosmos Rings. Even if Ghost Jail is destroyed, the items in the Cosmos Rings will be enough for him to escape! "
"Ah Ming won't be so unwise. He won't give up on Ghost Jail until the last moment. Don't care about the life or death of others. If the situation is not right, run! "
"He was stuffed into the crystal reactor of Ghost Jail? How is this possible? How is this possible?! "
Fengyu Zhong went crazy. His body was surrounded by a strange purple fire. The fine stone fragments that fell from the cracks in the ceiling were all attracted to him and burned into powder by the purple fire!
"It's true. The intelligence agents of Black Spider Tower have confirmed that Ah Ming was indeed killed. He was killed in the most miserable way! "Pang Wushuang covered her chest and exclaimed in agony.
Fengyu Zhong was infuriated. He gnashed his teeth. "Who killed him? The Great Horn Exo Society? I don't believe it! What is the Great Horn Exo Society? It is just a second-rate Exo Society with only one starship and hundreds of Exos, among whom there are no more than dozens of experts. How could they have killed my son?
"Investigate it. Investigate it now. The real murderer must be hiding behind the Great Horn Exo Society!
"Find him! We must find him even if we have to turn the entire Flying Star Sector upside down! "
"The Great Horn Exo Society, too. We can't let go of them, either. Ah Ming was killed because of their hunting, and they have admitted it … Hehe. Then, they can all go to hell, too!"
Pang Wushuang's face was twisted. She shrieked, "There are indeed a lot of suspicious points about the case. I've mobilized all the forces of Black Spider Tower to investigate it. When the real murderer is found, he will beg for death!
"As for the Great Horn Exo Society, of course, they will die together with my son!"
Fengyu Zhong took a deep breath. He narrowed his eyes and said, one word after another, "The incident must have spread to the entire Flying Star Sector. Right now, everybody knows that my only son was killed by the Great Horn Exo Society. If I don't retaliate, how can I live on Spider Den in peace?
"Spread the news for me. Tell everybody on Spider Den and every assassin of Black Spider Tower!
"I want the Great Horn Exo Society to be slaughtered!
"As long as any member of the Great Horn Exo Society is killed, I will offer a bounty of … five million! If the target is an expert above the Building Foundation Stage, the bounty will be doubled!
"Find the murderer of my son, dead or alive … and I will give him a 'Tiger Shark' -level crystal warship!"
Very soon, black torrents were sent to every corner of Spider Den through the Spiritual Nexus.
The space pirates were seething with excitement!
A bounty of five million did not seem to be a lot, but it was only the price for killing one member.
Not all the members of the Exo Society were experts above the Building Foundation Stage. There were still a lot of low-level Cultivators and even ordinary fighters and logisticians.
Killing a refiner with mediocre battle power and he could get five million, it was simply a good deal!
Once Fengyu Ming's murderer was found, they would be rewarded with a 'Tiger Shark' -level crystal warship?
All the space pirates were excited, trembling, and going crazy!
The 'Tiger Shark' -level crystal warship was the highest-level crystal warship that could be produced on Spider Den. It was extremely powerful. More importantly, its power rune arrays were powerful enough. It was extremely fast!
To own a 'Tiger Shark' -level crystal warship was the highest dream of any space pirate!
They were not worried that Fengyu Zhong would lie.
Inside Spider Den, the space pirates all obeyed certain rules. At the very least, such a promise made in public would rarely go back on his word.
This place was the nest of the space pirates. If their reputation was tarnished in their nest, they would have nowhere to run when they were hunted by the righteous Cultivators in the future. They would have no choice but to surrender.
For a moment, countless space pirates, assassins, and villains heard the news and started investigating.
They were very curious, too. Who was the Great Horn Exo Society exactly? The guy who had killed Fengyu Zhong's only son? Who was he?
…
At the edge of the Flying Star Sector, a cluster of war debris was floating quietly with the tide.
Suddenly, one of the giant piles of metal garbage shivered. A feeble streak of brightness spurted out from the gap of the debris behind and slightly changed its direction, lunging at a stone belt ahead.
Very soon, the pile of metal garbage entered the stone belt and slowed down, as if it were searching for something.
It searched patiently for seven days and finally found what it was looking for.
It was a plain metal debris. It must have been peeled off from a starship. There were no traces of scratches on the surface. It seemed to have been left here recently.
Two soft arms extended out of the pile of garbage. The claws in the front were neither heavy nor light. They grabbed the debris and dragged it into their bodies.
Deep inside the pile of metal garbage, 'Sparkle', the multipurpose exploration starship, was lurking.
Originally, they had been following Gold Horn stealthily. However, when Gold Horn plunged into the Dim Flame Belt, they stopped right outside.
After all, there were no living crew members on Sparkle. They had enough assets and spiritual energy. There was no need to take risks. They could spend a few months detouring around the Dim Flame Belt.
The debris … As it turned out, Li Yao had found an opportunity to abandon it when he was maintaining Ghost Jail.
He had left a piece of special magical equipment on the debris, which could release spiritual waves of a certain frequency. Even if other people found it, they would only think that it was the turbulence of spiritual energy in the sea of stars.
Only Sparkle could receive the coordinates contained in the spiritual waves and locate the debris.
Li Yao hid the information storage chip set of the mainframe crystal processor of Ghost Jail inside the debris.
He also copied the 'Gold Horn Maintenance Manual' and 'Stormy Sword', as well as the information he had received recently, and hid them inside the debris, too.
Half a day later, the information storage chip set of Ghost Jail was connected to the mainframe crystal processor of Sparkle. After the spiritual stripes of the highest clearance were inputted, tremendous information was sent over incessantly.
Fengyu Zhong's decades of research included the most detailed navigation map of the Flying Star Sector, as well as the coordinates of many secret supply points.
The 'Stormy Sword' contained a lot of space pirate tactics and the structure of the starship, too.
Together with the 'Gold Horn Maintenance Manual', the five spectral Cultivators on Sparkle had a deeper understanding of the starship refinement of the Flying Star Sector.
"The starship refinement technology of the Flying Star Sector is much more advanced than that of the Tian Yuan Realm. Even space fortresses can be built on their own!"
"The architecture of the power rune arrays is quite advanced. If they are applied to Sparkle, the speed of the starship may be increased by another 5%!"
"Cannons! We need more, bigger cannons! I'm going to install a hundred cannons on Sparkle! "
"Modification! Let's complete the modification of Sparkle as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer! "
The four kings were talking happily.
Mo Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Li Yao said that he pissed off the space pirates of Storm Prison when he went to the central space zone of the Flying Star Sector. Fierce battles might ensue in the future.
"We are still too weak right now. He asked us not to join him in the central space zone in a hurry. Instead, we should stay in the borderland and search for materials and spiritual energy in order to upgrade Sparkle.
"It won't be too late to find him in the central space zone after we finish the upgrade and learn all the space pirate tactics recorded in 'Stormy Sword'.
"He has left twelve ways to contact us. We can log into the Spiritual Nexus and leave him a message by then.
"Let's take action. Our time is limited. We need to seize every second!
"With the secret star map, the entire Flying Star Sector is at our disposal. We can search, absorb, modify, and upgrade the debris of the war that we see on our way!
