Chapter 370: A Farmer from Starfall Valley Has Arrived in the Lawless Lands

The Kails Star Cluster, the Desolate Edge Star System, Fesa Star.

As a nearby smuggling hub close to the Federation, Fesa Star was a den of thieves and scoundrels—a fact evident from the spaceport alone.

All manner of creatures moved through the spaceport, and bizarrely shaped starships were moored everywhere.

Amid the irritating clamor, some creatures suddenly had their attention drawn by a colossal presence.

Watching the gray-brown starship rudely shove aside the smaller vessels moored nearby, they couldn't help but think inwardly: 'Damn, where'd they get something like this?'

As the creatures watched with varied expressions, the gray-brown starship had already completed its docking.

As the Cang Sect door opened, two figures slowly stepped out.

The two were naturally Li Ang and Beixiu—Beixiu was the plain man's name.

They were here because Li Ang intended to verify the accuracy of the intelligence.

After interrogation, he learned that Beixiu's starband gang was called 【Storm】, and its strongest member was precisely the bald man from earlier.

But according to Beixiu, 【Storm】 was backed by an even more powerful starband group, though its active territory lay outside this star system.

Of course, none of that was the point—the point was that the strongest individual on Fesa Star was no higher than Rank Four, despite there being quite a few of them.

As a no-man's-land, the Kails Star Cluster had an absurd density of strong individuals, unlike the Barl Star Cluster, where usually only one strong person appeared per planet.

This was also related to the Barl Star Cluster's remote location.

At this moment, Beixiu glanced at the slightly agitated creatures around them and whispered to Li Ang: "You'd better be careful—your level of vessel is bound to tempt someone into taking desperate risks."

When the profit is high enough, capitalists will even sell the rope to hang themselves.

The same applied to greedy starbanders.

After 【Earth Devourer】 successfully docked, Li Ang had already noticed many individuals sneaking away from the spaceport with furtive expressions.

But in response to Beixiu's well-meaning warning, he replied coolly: "If your intelligence is correct, they won't have the stomach to pay attention here much longer."

"?"

Beixiu froze, unable to understand Li Ang's words.

Rather, since learning the young man's identity as planetary viceroy, he had been deeply puzzled as to why he would come to this chaotic place.

But Li Ang had no intention of explaining in detail what he planned to do next.

Besides, even if he didn't do what he intended, 【Earth Devourer】 was no ordinary careerist could handle.

After all, the living starship's raw material was Lord Duonuo, that old bastard—and the former planetary viceroy of Morabiss Star's strength needed no elaboration.

Add to that the artificial human maids stationed aboard, and without a Rank Five careerist intervening, they could hold out until Li Ang returned.

Unlike all the Federation planets Li Ang had previously seen, Fesa Star had no space elevator; travel between the spaceport and the city relied entirely on shuttle vessels.

Of course, if one could fly, one could skip the shuttles entirely—do whatever the hell one pleased.

Along the way, Li Ang even saw numerous alien races defecating and urinating in public, though their tools were eventually confiscated by staff.

With a sense of disbelief, Li Ang reached the surface and found a shop he wasn't unfamiliar with.

Price Desire Group · Fesa Star Branch.

".?" Beixiu stared blankly at the lewd, glowing characters above the door, "You're coming here to gather intelligence?"

"I doubt this planet has a place with better information than this."

Li Ang replied casually, then stepped inside.

As a giant corporation that had opened brothels across half the universe, Price Desire Group clearly had its own intelligence network—after all, if you weren't well-informed in this line of work, you'd have been devoured long ago.

"Ah…"

Beixiu opened his mouth but couldn't think of how to refute it.

Without caring what the Lianbangdiaocha Bureau agent was thinking, Li Ang had already entered the sweet-scented establishment.

Unlike the one in Outpost City 66, this place had no demonic beings—mostly humans.

Seeing a scantily clad receptionist approach, Li Ang casually pulled out his 【Taiyi Miracle】 identification.

The receptionist initially stared blankly, but once she recognized what he held, her face lit up with a flattering smile: "Oh! It's my lord from 【Taiyi Miracle】! Please wait—I'll notify Mama immediately."

Though Li Ang had merely affiliated his alchemical workshop under 【Taiyi Miracle】 and wasn't technically an employee of the giant corporation, to a regular receptionist, there was no difference.

Soon, a mature woman with pale red skin and winding horns appeared before Li Ang.

She stepped forward, pulling his arm into her embrace, laughing seductively: "What a rare guest—I haven't seen a 【Taiyi Miracle】 my lord in ages."

Unlike the receptionist, she clearly recognized that the identification didn't mark him as a 【Taiyi Miracle】 employee, but as an affiliated alchemical craftsman.

But it no longer mattered.

The ID clearly showed he was a Rank Four Grand Alchemical Artisan—someone of such stature rarely came to Fesa Star.

Thinking this, the mature woman's smile deepened: "What kind do you prefer? I'll arrange it for you right away."

"I only wish to ask for some information," Li Ang shook his head slightly. "Don't worry—I'll pay as usual."

He understood the rules well enough, and there was no point stirring up trouble with a behemoth like Price Desire Group over petty money.

Hearing this, the mature woman's eyes flickered with disappointment, but she concealed it perfectly: "Please follow me. Information is nothing—consider it our Fesa Star branch's welcome gift."

Saying this, she turned and led Li Ang toward a secluded area within the building.

Moments later, Li Ang stepped out of the silver cavern, with Beixiu lingering behind, reluctant to leave.

After composing himself, Beixiu asked: "What are you planning to do next? If you don't need me, I'll take my leave."

"You'll know soon enough—but before that, I think it's best you stay by my side."

After the verification just now, Li Ang had confirmed that Beixiu's intelligence was accurate—indeed, even more detailed than Price Desire Group's.

Thus, for him, Beixiu's identity posed no issue—whether or not he was a Lianbangdiaocha Bureau agent.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Beixiu felt puzzled inside, but ultimately chose to stay.

Meanwhile.

Many starband groups had learned that a strange warship had docked at the spaceport.

The star bandit groups reacted differently to this news.

Some felt the other side's background was unclear and weren't planning to make a move for now.

Others had already begun gathering men, preparing to seize this warship first and talk later.

Just as they were sharpening their blades, the ground suddenly began to tremble.

"Another lunatic's about to make a move here?"

That was what most people were thinking.

But before they could send out scouts to investigate, they discovered that at some unknown point a towering giant tree had sprouted from the earth.

Staring at the terrifying plant that looked like a monster, the star bandits froze on the spot.

What the hell is that?!

Did Fesa Star ever have something like this before?!

Just then, plenty of sharp-eyed star bandits noticed that quite a few white cocoons had already appeared hanging from the branches of that distant plant.

The number was even still increasing.

As for where those white cocoons were coming from—

Oh no, why did it feel like they were coming for them!?
