Li Yao was dumbfounded. ▲ 〃.
Theoretically speaking, the leader of any pirate gang could be addressed as' Boss Bai 'as long as his surname was Bai.
But in recent decades, there had been only one Boss Bai on Spider Den. Even if other space pirates were surnamed Bai, they did not dare call themselves' Boss Bai 'or even' Brother Bai '.
Li Yao did not expect that he would be attacked by Bai Xinghe while he was marveling at Bai Xinghe's legendary experiences!
Li Yao was confused. He blurted out, "Boss Bai is not on our side? We are all working for the Temple of Immortals. Why is he attacking us? "
When space pirates ran into each other in the vast sea of stars, it was not unusual for them to attack each other. But such incidents were mostly seen when a group of space pirates had just returned from a fruitful trip and other people were tempted by the loot.
The starship that Li Yao snuck into, on the other hand, had just completed the assault mission in Heavenly Saints City under the command of the Temple of Immortals. It had been stealthy on its way back and had not committed any crimes. Naturally, it did not have any loot.
Did Bai Xinghe have nothing better to do? Why would he do such a thing near Spider Den?
Li Yao felt that his question was perfectly reasonable. But out of his expectation, the panicked space pirate immediately grew suspicious after hearing the question. He eyed Li Yao up and down and asked back, "Who are you?"
Li Yao frowned. He had been seen through.
Sighing, the spiritual energy around his body flowed out and condensed into an invisible hand, which grabbed the space pirate by the throat and lifted him into the air.
The space pirate was not strong enough. His face immediately turned purple when he was choked by the invisible hand. His eyes were bulging, and his legs were kicking crazily. He could not utter a single word.
Li Yao dragged him into the maintenance room of the cooling tubes and threw him to the ground.
After a crack, Li Yao locked the door with his spiritual energy. Li Yao eyed the space pirate coldly and did not withdraw his technique until he was about to pass out.
The space pirate was like a half-dead lobster. He crouched and coughed violently.
Li Yao extended his index finger. Invisible spirit energy turned into a sharp awl at the tip of his finger, and he poked the man's chest neither lightly nor heavily. "I'll ask, and you'll answer. Tell me the truth, and I won't kill you."
The space pirate was a smart man, too. Feeling the excruciating pain in his chest, he knew that his enemy was not someone he could afford to piss off. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't kill me. Senior, what do you want to know? I'll tell you everything honestly!"
Li Yao said, "When the starship escaped from Heavenly Saints City, the situation was quite chaotic. Other than the people of the Tiger Tooth Pirate Gang, a few other pirate gangs were also evacuated to this starship.
"Hundreds of space pirates. You can't possibly know everyone, so why are you suspicious of me? I said those words. Are there any flaws? "
The space pirate breathed for a long time and felt like crying. "Everybody on Spider Den knows that Boss Bai is not on good terms with Fengyu Zhong, who just rose to power recently.
"A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Spider Den cannot accommodate two Pirate Potentates, either.
"In the past, 'Hellsword' Zhuang Ziyou, the other Yuanying on Spider Den, was Boss Bai. In the end, they reached an agreement that Hellsword would be a lone wolf and would not establish his own pirate gang. In return, Boss Bai would offer Hellsword a large sum of resources every year.
"As a result. That is why two space pirates in the Nascent Soul Stage are safe and sound.
"But Fengyu Zhong was different. He was ambitious in the first place, and with the support of the Temple of Immortals, he had swallowed a lot of pirate gangs in the past year. Naturally, he had some conflicts with Boss Bai.
"Although the two parties had not started a war when we left Spider Den, it is not strange that they are on bad terms right now. Senior … I can't help but find it strange that you are so surprised.
"The second half of your sentence is even more suspicious."
Li Yao raised his eyebrow. "Am I wrong to say that we are all working for the Temple of Immortals?"
"Of course not."
The space pirate smiled miserably. "Everybody on Spider Den knows that other people are the only ones working for Boss Bai. How can Boss Bai work for anybody?"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. Pondering for a moment, he realized that he had made a huge mistake all the time.
Ever since he got in touch with the Immortal Cultivators, the space pirates had always been their accomplices. Fengyu Zhong was even directly involved in the first scheme of the Immortal Cultivators and was their loyal dog.
In the battle of Heavenly Saints City, a lot of space pirates had participated in and helped each other.
Therefore, Li Yao had associated all the space pirates with the Immortal Cultivators subconsciously.
But now, it appeared that the space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators were not necessarily the same.
At the very least, Bai Xinghe, the 'Pirate Potentate', did not seem to be a man who would submit to anyone else.
Thinking for a moment, Li Yao asked, "Is there something wrong between Boss Bai and the Temple of Immortals? Is there a conflict between the two parties? "
The space pirate replied pitifully, "How can the small fries like us know the details? However, over the past year, there have been a lot of rumors that Boss Bai does not like the Immortal Cultivators of the Temple of Immortals who popped up out of nowhere. "
Li Yao meant to ask why, but he swallowed his words and cursed himself for being too stupid.
How could he allow someone else to sleep next to his bed? What kind of person was Bai Xinghe? He was the underground emperor of Spider Den!
As the Pirate Potentate, he had suddenly discovered that another enormous force was lurking right under his nose with malicious intentions and undercurrents.
If it were Li Yao, he would have felt rather scared.
Li Yao continued asking, "Did the Temple of Immortals bribe Boss Bai?"
The space pirate replied quickly, "Maybe, but Boss Bai has always been the one to bribe other people. How can other people bribe Boss Bai? All in all, over the past year, Boss Bai has been dissatisfied with many of the things that the Temple of Immortals did. It is said that the two parties had several conflicts in secret. The Temple of Immortals' support for Fengyu Zhong later had a lot to do with the conflicts, too. "
Li Yao pondered for a moment and realized what was going on.
Such a man as Bai Xinghe was too difficult to bribe, and the price was too high. Even if he was bribed, he was still too difficult to control. Nobody knew when he would turn on them.
Therefore, the Temple of Immortals simply supported their own 'Pirate Potentate'.
In the past, although Fengyu Zhong was one of the most brutal men in the circle of space pirates, he did not have his own dock or Crystal Suit Center. In other words, he was only one of the best space pirates in the middle class.
Such people were naturally the most ambitious. They were also the easiest to bribe. As long as he was promised to replace Bai Xinghe as the new 'Pirate Potentate', he would naturally become the most loyal subordinate of the Temple of Immortals and work for the Immortal Cultivators wholeheartedly.
Naturally, the interests of Bai Xinghe, the veteran 'Pirate Potentate', were affected. It was not strange at all that the two parties had conflicts.
Li Yao reviewed all the information in his head and asked the space pirate a few more questions.
However, the guy was just a lackey in the first place, and he had been away from Spider Den for half a year on a mission. He did not know the latest situation on Spider Den at all.
"One last question. Answer me honestly, and I won't kill you."
Li Yao did not give him any time to think and asked straightforwardly. "How many ordinary people have you killed?"
The space pirate was dazed for a moment. His eyes rolled up.
It was a sign that he was recalling and calculating.
It meant that he had killed them.
Li Yao's lips curled, but his eyes were cold.
The space pirate shuddered violently and shrieked like a pig being butchered. "You promised that you wouldn't kill me! You promised that you wouldn't kill me! "
Li Yao scratched his chin and smiled. "Do I look like a man of his word?"
Five minutes later, Li Yao appeared in the middle of the interconnecting spiritual energy tubes above the launch area of the escape capsules.
Unless it was absolutely necessary … He really did not want to be ejected into the space near Spider Den by the escape capsules.
It was especially so at this moment, when Bai Xinghe's starships were still patrolling in space.
But the explosions gradually died down. The carrier gradually stabilized.
Li Yao crouched and released Neltharion silently. Attaching half of his telepathic thoughts to Neltharion, he entered the stealth state and flew forward along the pathway.
He could see that the various areas of the carrier had been invaded. Another group of space pirates had broken through.
The invader's expression was sharp and well-trained, and his eyes exuded a gloomy murderous aura. This wasn't the bravery of blood on the surface, but a valiance that didn't care about the lives of others and himself.
Faced with the intruders … The space pirates on the carrier did not have the slightest intention to resist. They hugged their heads and squatted in a corner obediently.
Li Yao suddenly thought of something. The intruders must be the members of Bai Xinghe's Abyss Pirate Gang.
Right then, a large batch of members of the Abyss Pirate Gang swarmed toward the bridge from the front.
Neltharion was no larger than a finger. Also, it was in the stealth state. Therefore, it followed the crowd into the bridge easily.
In the middle of the bridge, there were two space pirates, one standing and the other on his knees.
The standing space pirate was wearing a colorful loose suit. He was slightly bald, and his hooked nose was high. A gold, glittering spider pendant was dangling in front of his chest.
He did not seem to be there for a fight but for a vacation at a certain beach.
He looked at the space pirate who was kneeling before him in boredom. There was pity and mockery in his indifferent eyes.
The kneeling space pirate was wearing a glamorous coat made of bear fur, with a bear head on his shoulder. He couldn't have looked more intimidating.
However, his face was covered with snot and tears. He wanted to hug the leg of the man standing there, but he didn't dare to. He just cried loudly, "Boss Bai, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time!"
The three words "Boss Bai" made Li Yao's heart skip a beat in fright.
He did not expect that the legendary Pirate Potentate would assault the carrier in person. No wonder he had occupied the bridge so easily.
If he had known that Bai Xinghe, the Yuanying monster, was here, Li Yao would never have dared to let Neltharion in.
However, it was much more difficult to get out than to get in. The door of the cabin had been closed, and the members of the Abyss Pirate Gang were everywhere. Li Yao did not dare move at all, fearing that Bai Xinghe would notice him.
He could only ask Neltharion to hide in a corner and eavesdrop.
Li Yao knew the space pirate who was begging on the ground, too. He was Luo Jinhu, captain of the Tiger Teeth Pirate Gang and the owner of the carrier.
The man was an expert in the beginning level of the Core Formation Stage. On the wanted list of Heavenly Saints City, he was a villain who had committed countless crimes.
