Chapter 1506

Seeing the Space Pirates leader with tears welling up, he gripped Yun Xiantai's hand and kept calling him 'big brother'.

This left Yun Xiantai silent.

"Don't worry, Big Brother Yun, I'll definitely handle what you asked me to do properly."

"Hmph, ungrateful guy."

When facing Yun Xiantai, he wore a fawning smile, but the moment he saw the three Zhao brothers, his smile vanished, he let out a cold snort, and turned away.

Even after the Space Pirates leader left, Yun Xiantai still hadn't come to his senses.

Are these Space Pirates really this shameless? They are, after all, Emperor Sovereign experts.

The three Zhao brothers were unaware of what Yun Xiantai was thinking at that moment; they were busy eating, otherwise they would surely have scoffed.

"What use is face for us Space Pirates? Can you eat face?"

Although they are indeed Emperor Sovereign experts, Space Pirates don't care about face.

It's just because of their different status; normally, Emperor Sovereign experts from the various worlds still care about face to some extent.

Especially in certain occasions, they have to keep up appearances.

That's just how human relations work, but Space Pirates are different.

They are basically people who lick blood from the blade; even if they cultivate to the Emperor Sovereign Realm, they still have to be self-sufficient in cultivation resources.

Unlike Emperor Sovereign experts in the various worlds, who basically don't need to lift a finger, as their sects' subordinates prepare everything for them.

One could say that even as Emperor Sovereign experts, the life of Space Pirates is not easy.

Precisely because of this lifestyle, these Space Pirates value practical things, while they couldn't care less about face, which is illusory.

Seeing the three Zhao brothers feasting with oil dripping from their mouths, Yun Xiantai silently walked away.

Dealing with these Space Pirates, he was still not quite used to it at first.

Having eaten their fill, the three Zhao brothers left, as they needed to busy themselves obtaining the next meal.

One could say that the three Zhao brothers and that Space Pirates leader were genuinely doing their work.

In order to recruit people for Haotu Shijie, they employed every method they could.

As time passed, Haotu Shijie's ranking on the Wànjiè Tiānbēi kept dropping, yet the number of Space Pirates outside Haotu Shijie grew day by day.

For convenience, the three Zhao brothers simply parked their Star Battleship right at the entrance to Haotu Shijie.

Yun Xiantai naturally wouldn't refuse, and considered them his own people, so it was no big deal.

The gathering point was moved directly to the entrance of Haotu Shijie, where some outside cultivators who had come to Haotu Shijie gathered.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Haotu Shijie, everyone was shocked.

"How can there be so many Space Pirates?"

"I don't know; could it be that Haotu Shijie has already been looted?"

Looking around, the entrance was filled with at least a hundred Space Pirates' Star Battleships or Xingkong Ships.

Those who didn't know might have thought they'd stumbled into a Space Pirates' lair.

Some powerful Space Pirates alliances also have their own bases, but those bases are merely worlds they've conquered; after moving in, they turn those worlds into their strongholds.

At this level of Space Pirates, life becomes relatively comfortable.

At least, even if other worlds wanted to exterminate the Space Pirates, they wouldn't dare act rashly against this tier of them.

After all, with their strength on display, everyone would weigh the consequences.

Now, the scene at Haotu Shijie's entrance is no different from worlds occupied by Space Pirates; at a glance, it really looks like a bandits' den.

Some were surprised, while others spoke up to explain.

"No, it's said these Space Pirates seem to have come to discuss cooperation with Haotu Shijie."

"Huh???"

What was meant as an explanation only left everyone more puzzled: cooperation?

"What cooperation? Discussing cooperation with a bunch of Space Pirates? Isn't that inviting wolves into the house?"

Some were bewildered, and what's even stranger is that, despite so many Space Pirates gathering here, not a single one caused trouble.

Moreover, when facing the cultivators of Haotu Shijie, they were exceedingly polite.

Their etiquette was even more thorough than that of the Haotu Shijie cultivators.

For example, upon seeing a Haotu Shijie cultivator from afar, these Space Pirates would start clasping their hands in salute.

In speech, they would alternately address them as 'Dao friend' and 'Dao brother'.

Even just moments ago, when an outside cultivator accidentally bumped into a Space Pirate, the latter, acting on instinct, didn't even look, turned aside, and began cursing.

"You're asking for death..."

But before he could finish, someone beside him hurriedly reminded him.

"What are you doing?"

Not knowing what that meant, the Space Pirate who had just been swearing blue‑streak stopped talking the very next second.

After turning his head, his voice remained icy, yet he said.

"Be a little careful."

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the outside cultivator was completely baffled—when did this Space Pirate become so courteous? Is this still a Space Pirate?

A bunch of country bumpkins, when did they start putting on airs, acting all like scholars?

"You're a Space Pirate—what's the point of all this frilly nonsense?"

Those outside cultivators don't realize that the Space Pirates' obedience is entirely due to the rations.

Numerous Space Pirates leaders have gathered here, so it's naturally impossible for all of them to enter Haotu Shijie.

Therefore, only the Emperor Sovereign Realm leaders, as well as a few Space Pirates, are fortunate enough to go to Dao Yi Shengdi.

As for the other Space Pirates, they can only wait here at the entrance.

At first, many Space Pirates naturally complained, each full of grievances.

But all this, with the appearance of Ye Zhangqing's rations, instantly vanished.

This is also Ye Zhangqing's intention; with so many Space Pirates gathered together, if not placated, there would likely be many problems.

After all, this is a group that draws swords at the slightest disagreement; gathering them together, not causing trouble would be strange.

So now each day, each Space Pirate can receive a box of rations.

Since they ate these rations once, these Space Pirates have been completely conquered.

Just as they were speaking, a team of Dao Yi Shengdi's Stewards and disciples walked over.

Seeing this, the many Space Pirates instantly grinned from ear to ear.

"Huh??? What's this? Why are you so happy?"

Seeing this, the outside cultivators became even more puzzled; look at these Space Pirates, smiling so obsequiously.

You only smile like this when you see someone; what leverage do they have over you? Or has your whole family fallen into their hands?

But that's not right; you're Space Pirates—how many of you even have families?

On the other side, the little heads and managers of each Space Pirate gang also stepped forward, wearing apologetic smiles as they addressed the leading Elder.

"Elder Ma has arrived."

"Hmm, I've come to deliver today's rations."

"This is a small matter; Elder Ma just needs to be notified—why bother him to come in person?"
