Chapter 1498

Are you serious?

Really serious.

The Space Pirates looked at Xu Jie with a ghost‑seen expression and asked, seeing Xu Jie nod calmly, the Space Pirates fell into a long silence.

Has the world changed? Have the Space Pirates become a delicacy?

You should know that in the Zhu Tian Wan Jie, any world, if you are the infamous Demon Realm, the attitude toward Space Pirates is uniformly one of disgust and hostility.

When encountering Space Pirates, not attacking you is already good; how could they possibly propose cooperation voluntarily?

Anyway, this Space Pirate has followed his boss north and south for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

Seeing that Xu Jie's words were not a joke, and the many strong cultivators of Dao Yi Shengdi present did not refute him, it was clearly accepted.

After a long while, this Space Pirate reluctantly accepted the fact.

His eyes filled with a complex look as he gazed at Xu Jie.

"I'm not sure if our boss will agree."

"No problem, we can show sincerity; you contact him first."

"Okay."

Looking at Xu Jie's sincere expression, although in this Space Pirate's heart Xu Jie had long lost any credibility.

Given what he has done, this Space Pirate will not believe a word he says, not even a spit.

But a person under the eaves must bow his head; he still decided to contact his boss.

"Right, you want the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán? I'll get it for you."

"Xu San, I.............."

Seeing Xu Jie naturally take out the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán from his own Space Ring, the Space Pirates' eyes turned red again.

This beast, he even changed the restriction on his own Space Ring to his own.

Every Space Ring has a restriction set by the cultivator himself; with the restriction in place, others cannot take or store items in it.

Only after breaking the restriction and replacing it with one's own can one, like Xu Jie, connect to the Space Ring with a thought.

But you, doing this, can't you be a bit more discreet?

The Space Pirate was too exhausted to scold, but Xu Jie's answer left him stunned.

"What's up, Dao brother?"

"I......... nothing, just give me the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán."

Seeing Xu Jie still wearing an innocent look, the Space Pirate weakly said, "What kind of person have I run into?"

Could this guy be sent by heaven to torment me?

They untied the Demon-Binding Rope from the Space Pirate and then restored his cultivation.

Anyway, all the strong cultivators of Dao Yi Shengdi are here, so there's no fear he'll flee; a single thought from anyone here could kill him.

Moreover, this Space Pirate is obviously not so foolish; since arriving here, he has secretly observed everyone.

He found that he could not discern the cultivation of anyone here, not even feeling any aura from Ye Zhangqing, who is a Cultivation: Great Saint Perfection.

This only shows that everyone present seated has a cultivation far surpassing his.

Playing tricks here is completely meaningless; it can only be a self‑inflicted dead end.

So, even after regaining freedom and cultivation, this Space Pirate obediently used the Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán to contact his leader.

The Formation Disk connected, and a middle‑aged man with a ferocious face quickly appeared on the Formation Light Curtain, clearly the sort of lifelong blood‑licking outlaw.

"Shanpao, how's it going? Have you figured out the situation in Haotu Shijie? My big blade's been thirsting for a fight."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Shanpao panicked and hurriedly glanced at the people present, including Yun Xiantai.

Seeing that Yun Xiantai and the others had no reaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But before Shanpao could speak, the middle‑aged man on the other side of the Formation Light Curtain let out a strange 'yi'.

"Yi, Shanpao, where are you kid? Why are there so many people around?"

"I sent you to scout the bottom of Haotu Shijie so we could move in; are you slacking off?"

Upon hearing this, Shanpao felt only mental exhaustion.

Before it was Xu Jie, now it's your boss; do you all really wish for my early death, Shanpao?

Can't you see the situation? Why do you blurt out everything?

Just as Shanpao didn't know how to answer, Qi Xiong said calmly.

"Get to the point."

As for Shanpao's purpose, Qi Xiong and the others didn't care; they had already guessed it, so they weren't bothered either.

Hearing Qi Xiong's words, Shanpao quickly nodded and said to the middle‑aged man in the Formation Light Curtain.

"Boss, I'm currently in Dao Yi Shengdi."

Huh???

Now it's the middle‑aged man's turn to be stunned: "You're actually in Dao Yi Shengdi?"

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Shanpao, and after regaining his senses he suddenly roared.

"Shanpao, are you stupid? You're in Dao Yi Shengdi; could those words just now be overheard by outsiders? Isn't that a leak?"

Seeing the middle‑aged man fly into a rage even faster than himself, Shanpao was exhausted, feeling only mental panic.

Was that remark mine? Weren't you the one blabbering on over there? It's none of my business.

"You're really more trouble than help; I told you to secretly go scout the bottom of Haotu Shijie, so how did you end up running to Dao Yi Shengdi?"

"Now it's fine, the plan's been exposed by others; how are we still supposed to act?"

Watching the middle‑aged man's anger flare, Shanpao chose silence.

From start to finish he didn't say a word; it's you, my good boss, the plan is almost all said by you.

Only after the middle-aged man finished cursing did Shan Pao slowly say a sentence.

"Boss, Dao Yi Shengdi wants to cooperate with us; let me contact you to see if we can meet and talk."

Huh???

Too lazy for small talk, Shan Pao went straight to the point, speaking up directly.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man on the other side of the Formation first froze, and the Formation Light Curtain seemed to get stuck.

The person inside the light curtain remained completely still, not even blinking an eyelid.

Seeing this, Shan Pao softly called out twice.

"Boss? Boss?"

Unfortunately, still no change; only when Shan Pao was about to hang up and reconnect the Formation did the middle-aged man seem to suddenly come back to life.

He looked furious and shouted angrily.

"Shan Pao, you idiot, have you defected?"

"I haven't."

"You haven't? Then what did you just mean by that?"

"Just the literal meaning."

"You idiot, don't you know this is the other side's scheme? Who the hell, being idle, would cooperate with Space Pirates? They're trying to lure the snake out of its hole, set a trap to let me slip in. Can't you see such an obvious scheme? You blockhead."

Huh???

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's scolding, Shan Hu helplessly glanced at Xu Jie beside him, his expression as if saying, "You see? I knew it would be like this."
