Chapter 406: Intruders?!
After hearing her story, Zhao Tian arched an eyebrow "Seems like these Space pirates are really troublesome out there."
Yao Lian curled her legs as she hugged her legs and nodded her head "Well yeah... They are a powerful organization and no one knows where the main headquarters is."
"So no powers in the High stars could wipe them out."
"Even though I ran away from my star... right now, I am struck in this middle star. I am sure none of these middle stars are developed enough to build space arks for long-distance travels."
Letting out a sigh, she spoke, "When you break through to the Half-Empyreal stage... you can travel in space without getting yourself killed by the pressure."
"And reaching that stage in the middle stars is really hard. I was really surprised when I saw that woman on Half-Empyreal stage and even an Empyreal Flame in her hands..."
"But... after seeing that space artifact of yours, it makes sense how you and that woman break through to the Half-Empyreal stage."
Zhao Tian turned his gaze to the stars in the sky and asked "There are no space pirates in the middle star circle?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lian shook her head "No... they wander around in the High Star circle and they don't care about middle stars as there are fewer resources."
"They are a problem even to the apex six High Stars."
Zhao Tian again glanced at her gorgeous face and thought in his heart 'So she can have a good conversation without showing her bratty side...'
Yao Lian took a deep breath and turned her head looking into his eyes "I... am sorry for what I did to this star. I was just having fun playing around... I didn't think much about others."
"Ever since childhood, I was all alone and only cared about myself. No one was there to give attention to me... well, there was my grandmother."
"Without her, I would have lost hope in my life a long time ago."
"Haah... maybe I was just frustrated that I can't return to my star and that's why I caused such chaos."
-_- You don't know yourself? Zhao Tian looked at her blankly and spoke "It has already been done. So, don't whine about that."
"Well... because of you, now everyone in this star is aware of these cultivators and now that it has become a high star, this star will develop even more in the future."
Yao Lian shook her head and spoke "No... not necessarily. This is an opportunity and a curse."
"Your star is so weak right now and vulnerable and if any other High Stars or even Space pirates spotted it, you will be in big danger."
"Especially, the Space pirates... they have a wide range to pass information and they know anything major that is happening within the high star circle."
"So... I am quite surprised that they haven't invaded this star yet."
Zhao Tian gave a nod "Yeah.. I know that. That's why I have placed an artifact that will tell me when people invade this sta- *beep*"
Huh? A frown crept on Zhao Tian's face as he felt his space ring beeping and a blue beacon appeared on his palm.
Looking at the beacon shining in red, Zhao Tian's gaze narrowed and he raised his gaze looking at the sky.
"There are some intruders."
H-Huh? Yao Lian was startled "How... do you know?"
Looking at her, Zhao Tian replied "I have placed an artifact in this star that will detect anything foreign that enters 500 kilometers within the atmosphere of this star..."
"So... they are very close to this star."
Yao Lian muttered "if they are that close... then, I am sure, it must be the space pirates. We should leave here... They will take the whole planet under them and will treat the people as literal slaves."
"We should escape."
Zhao Tian's thought about it and shook his head "First let's see who it is."
Yao Lian gripped her palm in frustration "Then at least, let me go."
"No.. this is all happening because of you, so you have to stay here."
Yao Lian's lips twitched but what he said also made sense: "You can be a hero saving this precious star of yours from invaders. But I don't want to get caught up in this... please let me go."
Zhao Tian replied casually, shrugging "Hero? I don't want to be that... If situations get dire... I would also run away from here. Why should I face them knowing I can't win against them?"
"I only care about my family and women."
Yao Lian was confused "Then.. why do you want to go up there and look for the intruders?"
"I am just curious who came here. If they are from.. maybe a good star and wish for peaceful communications with us, we would be lucky."
...
*feen* Amidst the endless space, twenty specialized red arks are dashing toward the solar system where the Earth is situated.
One of the bigger arks was leading the front and inside that, a bulky man was standing in the control room, looking at the outer space through the window.
The man was wearing red and blackish clothes, with a red skull symbol on its back and the skull was wearing a black eyepatch.
He turned his cold eyes to the man who was standing next to him "Are you sure of the information?"
The man gave a nod "Yes Commander Caspian. We were sure of the information, because we even got a picture of the star."
"One of our members who were patrolling around that area saw a whole solar system there which should be empty space in this Luminara Nexus galaxy."
The Space Pirates won't stay in a single place and they have members in almost around all of the High Star circle.
It is not an exaggeration to say... that they have the map of the whole High Star circle and the galaxies in them.
The man, Caspian turned his eyes and looked at the Envisage shard, which was showing the image of a blue green planet with a single moon.
"Our members were cautious, didn't get close to the star and took this picture from a distance."
Caspian nodded his head and uttered, "That star surely looks plenty.. heh. We can get good loot."
"And what not, With this, I can even be promoted to be an Admiral. Hahaha!!"
Soon, the twenty arks inched to the planet and the blue green planet came into their view.
However, at this time, a melodious voice echoed through the space...
"Want to attack my darling's star?"
