Li Yao was dumbfounded .
Theoretically speaking, the leader of any pirate gang could be addressed as 'Boss Bai' as long as their surname was Bai .
However, over the past few decades, there had been only one Boss Bai on Spider Den . None of the other space pirates dared to call themselves 'Boss Bai' . They did not even have the courage to call themselves 'Brother Bai' .
Li Yao did not expect that Bai Xinghe, whose legendary life had left a deep impression on him a moment ago, would attack the carrier he was on so quickly .
Confused, Li Yao blurted out, "Isn't Boss Bai on our side? We are all working for the Temple of Immortals . Why is he assaulting us?"
It was not unusual for space pirates to attack each other when they encountered in the space . But it mostly happened when a pirate gang had just finished a job and their trophies attracted other pirates' attention .
The carrier Li Yao snuck in, on the other hand, was commanded by the Temple of Immortals and had just finished the assault on Heavenly Saints City . It had been cruising in stealth mode and had not robbed anybody . Naturally, there were no valuable goods on the starship .
What was wrong with Bai Xinghe? Why did he do such a thing so close to Spider Den, everybody's home camp?
Li Yao thought that the question he raised was perfectly reasonable . But the panicked space pirate grew suspicious the moment he heard the question . He eyed Li Yao up and down and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Yao frowned . He had been seen through .
Li Yao sighed . Spiritual energy surged out of his body and condensed into an invisible giant hand, which grabbed the space pirate's throat and raised him into the air .
The space pirate was quite weak . Now that he was choked by the hand, his face immediately turned black, and his eyeballs were rolling crazily . However, he could not scream or cry for help .
Li Yao dragged him back to the maintenance room and threw him to the ground heavily .
After a click, Li Yao locked the door with his spiritual energy, and he eyed the man coldly . He did not release his throat until he was almost in a state of shock .
The space pirate squirmed and coughed loudly like a half-dead lobster .
Li Yao extended one of his fingers . Invisible spiritual energy turned into a sharp cone on his fingertip and poked the man's chest softly, as he asked, "I will ask questions, and you will answer them . If you tell the truth, I will spare your life . "
The space pirate was quite a quick-minded guy . Feeling the throbbing pain on his chest, he knew that his kidnapper was not someone he could deal with . He quickly nodded and said, "Don't kill me . Whatever you want to know, senior, I will tell anything!"
"The situation was quite a mess when the starship left Heavenly Saints City," Li Yao said . "Other than members of the Tiger Teeth Pirate Gang, some of the space pirates from several other gangs were evacuated to this starship, too .
"It's impossible that you know the hundreds of space pirates . Why did you grow suspicious about me? Is there anything wrong with the question I asked?"
The space pirate breathed heavily for a while and felt like crying . "Everybody on Spider Den knows that Boss Bai and Fengyu Zhong, who only rose to fame recently, do not see eye to eye with each other .
"Two tigers cannot live on the same mountain, and two kings cannot rule Spider Den at the same time .
"Before, 'Hellsword' Zhuang Ziyou, the other Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator on Spider Den, had many conflicts with Boss Bai, too . They reached a deal in the end . Hellsword would be a lone wolf and never establish his own pirate gang . In return, Boss Bai would provide a huge number of resources for Hellsword every year .
"With such a deal in place, the two space pirates in the Nascent Soul Stage were at peace again .
"But it is different for Fengyu Zhong . He has always been ambitious, and now with the support of the Temple of Immortals, he has swallowed quite a few pirate gangs over the past year . His strength is ten times higher than before . Naturally, clashes between Boss Bai and him are inevitable .
"Although the two of them had not begun fighting yet when we left Spider Den, it was perfectly normal for them to lose patience and decide to attack the other party . Therefore, it is quite abnormal that you were so surprised .
"Your second question is even more weird . "
Li Yao raised his eyebrow . "I said everybody was working for the Temple of Immortals . Isn't it so?"
"Of course not . " The space pirate smiled miserably . "Everybody on Spider Den knows that other people work for Boss Bai . Boss Bai does not work for anybody . "
Li Yao was dazed . He pondered for a moment and realized that he had been wrong about something all the time .
From the moment he first came into contact with the Immortal Cultivators, space pirates had been their accomplices . Fengyu Zhong was personally involved in the Immortal Cultivators' first scheme and was a loyal dog for them .
In the battle of Heavenly Saints City, a lot of space pirates had participated and helped with the transportation .
Therefore, Li Yao had the impression that all the space pirates were partners of the Immortal Cultivators .
But it appeared now that space pirates and Immortal Cultivators were not necessarily on the same boat .
At the very least, Bai Xinghe, the 'Pirate Potentate', did not seem to be a guy willing to bow to somebody else, according to his life experience .
Thinking for a moment, Li Yao asked, "Is Boss Bai in a bad relationship with the Temple of Immortals? What are their conflicts?"
The space pirate replied helplessly, "What can the pawns such as us know about the specific conflicts? But over the past year, there have indeed been a number of rumors saying that Boss Bai does not like the Immortal Cultivators of the Temple of Immortals, who jumped out of nowhere . "
Li Yao was going to ask the reason, but he swallowed the question and realized that he was being silly .
An emperor would not allow somebody else to covet his empire . Who was Bai Xinghe? He was the underground emperor of Spider Den!
