Chapter 1523

Under Ye Zhangqing's resentful gaze, Qiu Baiyi struck with all his strength, without wasting words, and quickly slew the remaining four Black Rock Realm Emperors.

After exhausting all his strength to break through the blockade of numerous space pirates, he had originally intended to capture Ye Zhangqing.

But in the end, he was completely slain by Qiu Baiyi and Ye Zhangqing together.

With the fall of these four emperors, the Black Rock Realm side also plunged completely into despair.

Especially after the Chen family joined in, the Black Rock Realm had not even a sliver of hope left.

Afterward, Ye Zhangqing did not strike again, but stood with a grim face on the deck of the star battleship, watching the battle's development.

Qiu Baiyi beside him chuckled softly.

"Husband, don't be angry; what's there to be angry about with these people?"

It was meant as a comforting remark, but as the words fell, Qiu Baiyi couldn't help but let out a puff of laughter.

Naturally, she earned a white-eye from Ye Zhangqing.

After the battle had gone on for several Shíchén, the first Emperor Sovereign of the Black Rock Realm fell.

And with the Emperor Sovereign's fall, it meant the Black Rock Realm had no chance of turning things around.

The remaining three Emperor Sovereigns, though they exerted all their strength trying to break out,

but under the encirclement and suppression by the three Chen family elders and seven Emperor Sovereign space pirates, they ultimately failed.

One after another, they died miserably on the spot.

In the end, the Black Rock Realm suffered a crushing defeat, and its Heavenly Dao Fortune was respectively taken into the pockets of the Chen family and the horde of space pirates.

When the battle ended, the three Chen family elders finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Frankly speaking, this foray into the Black Rock Realm truly made them tremble with fear; who could have imagined things would develop like this?

This Black Rock Realm had actually been hiding its strength all along; each one was downright sinister.

Although they had already given rise to despair, fortunately in the end there was a turn for the better.

Although they were rescued by a band of space pirates, no matter what, they were ultimately safe and sound.

Immediately after the battle ended, the three Chen family elders sought out Ye Zhangqing.

Upon speaking, it was natural that they would offer thanks.

"Many thanks, Leader Ye, for your rescue; this favor our Chen family will never forget................."

It was meant as a sincere thank-you, but hearing it in Ye Zhangqing's ears left him feeling bewildered.

"What Leader Ye?"

Ye Zhangqing gave the three Chen family elders a doubtful look and asked in puzzlement.

"What Leader Ye?"

"It's you, Little Friend Ye."

The third Chen ancestor said with a solemn expression, "You led these space pirates here; if you're not Leader Ye, then who is?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched, and he replied irritably.

"I am not any Leader Ye, and these space pirates have nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, the Chen family's great elder and second elder simultaneously turned their gazes toward the third elder.

That look seemed to ask, "Isn't this Little Friend Ye the one you said defected from the holy land?"

Faced with the two elders' gazes, the third Chen ancestor also wore a bewildered expression.

"Little Friend Ye, haven't you defected from the holy land?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing's face darkened further, and he gritted his teeth.

"Who told you I defected from the holy land?"

"When did I ever defect from the holy land? I don't even know about it—can you guys stop making things up?"

Finally, after some explanation, the three Chen family elders came to understand.

However, their expressions grew ever more complex, for they never imagined that the Haotu World would actually cooperate with space pirates, and that these pirates would truly agree to do so.

Not only did they agree to help the Haotu World seize the Heavenly Dao Fortune, but this time they actually heeded Ye Zhangqing's words and came to rescue the Chen family.

"When did space pirates become so obedient?"

"Have you ever seen obedient space pirates? But now, looking at those standing behind Ye Zhangqing, each exceedingly docile, eyes flashing with golden light, the three Chen elders cannot help but believe."

"This band of space pirates is truly.......... different from the rest."

"Actually, there's nothing special about them; bluntly put, they just want to eat."

"The Black Rock Realm's problem has also been resolved, and the Chen family is quite sensible, not demanding the Black Rock Realm's Heavenly Dao Fortune."

"They all voluntarily gave it to the Haotu World."

"This thing shouldn't have been theirs in the first place; someone came all the way to save your life, and yet you still want the Heavenly Dao Fortune—that just doesn't make sense."

Ye Zhangqing also straightforwardly accepted the Heavenly Dao Fortune, then turned his gaze to the space pirates nearby, looking at him expectantly.

The space pirates weren't interested in the Heavenly Dao Fortune, but now that the battle is over, not taking a share really wouldn't make sense.

Although the Black Rock Realm isn't considered a world of exceptional strength, even a mosquito, however small, is still meat.

The gazes of the space pirates already said everything; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing didn't think much and casually said.

"Just do as you please; no need to mind me."

"Alright, thanks, Elder Brother Ye Two."

"Then Elder Brother Ye Two, please wait a moment; we'll be right back."

"Huh??? And you still say you're not the space pirate chief Leader Ye?"

Watching the exchange between the space pirates and Ye Zhangqing, everyone in the Chen family felt a murmur of doubt.

"Damn it, these space pirates even need to ask your permission before looting people, yet you claim you're not their chief."

"If this isn't being a space pirate chief, then what is? Stop pretending."

Ye Zhangqing had no idea what these Chen family people were thinking, and as for the Space Pirates' raid, Ye Zhangqing didn't have any particular thoughts.

Anyway, he didn't have any fondness for the Black Rock Realm, so if they looted it, they looted it.

The Space Pirates quickly sprang into action; for them, these things were as easy as pie.

They split into several teams and quickly swept through the Black Rock Realm.

Wherever they went, not to say not a blade of grass grew, they didn't even pluck a hair, turning over every ant nest several times.

As for this, the many cultivators of the Black Rock Realm had no resentment.

This battle directly wiped out almost all the top experts of the Black Rock Realm.

The Black Rock Realm's strength was reduced by at least eighty percent, and the remaining cultivators had mediocre cultivation levels.

Facing the vicious Space Pirates, these cultivators had no choice but to obediently accept their fate.

Fortunately, the Space Pirates didn't engage in wanton slaughter, after all, they were mainly after money.

Space Pirates aren't maniacal killers; as long as they have Xiūliàn resources, they're fine, and unless they encounter resistance, they won't waste effort on indiscriminate slaughter.

In just three days, the Black Rock Realm was like a locust swarm passing through, completely swept clean by the numerous Space Pirates.

When the Space Pirates returned to their Star Battleship, each one was beaming with joy.

And Ye Zhangqing, seeing this, didn't waste words, directly leading everyone back to Haotu Shijie.

As for the Chen family people, after bidding farewell to Ye Zhangqing, they had already left the Black Rock Realm a step earlier.

As for this life-saving favor, the three Chen family elders all expressed that they would personally visit to thank him another day.

Of course, this obviously wouldn't be just verbal thanks; actual reciprocation was indispensable.

The Chen family and Ye Zhangqing both left, leaving only a bare Black Rock Realm.

And just after everyone had left for less than a day, a Space Pirates' Star Battleship slowly headed toward the Black Rock Realm, as if it had some design on the realm, going straight for it.
