119: The proud Black Scorpion Group has their eyes on Blue Star!
The other members of the battleship also showed greedy smiles upon hearing this, and cheers rose one after another.
"To think we'd encounter an unowned life planet in the desolate borderlands of the Purple Gold Empire's territory."
"And it appeared right in front of our wormhole exit; this is simply a great gift for our Black Scorpion Group!" an undersized high-ranking member shouted excitedly.
"I wonder what the native lifeforms on this planet look like. If they're pretty, selling them to those slave traders could fetch a good price."
"I hope the strength of these natives doesn't exceed Star Sea Level, otherwise it will take some effort to take them down," said a burly, nearly three-meter-tall, warrior-like high-ranking member.
His tone carried a hint of caution.
"I think it's better not to celebrate too early."
A voice, remarkably calm amidst the revelry, said, "It would be terrible if we've accidentally stumbled into the territory of some powerful individual."
"Don't forget there are many unknown powerhouses hidden in the universe, hundreds of times stronger than the Purple Gold Empire. The reason this planet hasn't been incorporated into the Purple Gold Empire's territory..."
"...is very likely because it's been claimed as territory by such a powerhouse!"
"..."
Scorpion Fiend listened to the voices of the many members.
A barely concealed smile appeared on his lips, and he waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down, saying,
"Don't worry, this unowned life planet absolutely cannot be the territory of some powerhouse. Otherwise, our sudden appearance would have already triggered an alert, and we would have been warned or eliminated by the forces on this life planet."
Although this was the first time they had encountered such a rare unowned life planet, they had heard other Cosmic Star Pirates talk about them before.
They were either native life planets that had not yet integrated with the universe, or planets occupied by powerful lone travelers in the universe and used as their own territory.
And precisely because of this, they wouldn't be registered in the number of planets controlled by various empires.
And now, with them having been here for so long, and still being safe and sound without any warnings or attacks, he felt it leaned more towards the former.
This was a native life planet that, due to its remote location, had not yet been discovered by the surrounding Purple Gold Empire...
Immediately, Scorpion Fiend's voice deepened as he spoke to the ship's intelligent life, Mir.
"Mir, immediately obtain all detailed data on this planet! I want to know everything about this planet, including the strength of the native lifeforms, their technological level, and any information that might be beneficial to us."
He prepared to see the strength of this unowned life planet.
Mir responded quickly after receiving the order.
"Understood, Master. Beginning detailed data acquisition... Detecting a network on this planet, currently implementing intrusion... Estimated to take several minutes to complete a comprehensive scan."
As the voice of the intelligent life Mir sounded, everyone in the spaceship was filled with anticipation!
They hoped this was an unowned native planet. If so, plundering it would be much simpler.
They could plunder resources without restraint, and even sell the native lifeforms as slaves to gain enormous profits!
Not long after, Mir's voice, tinged with joy, sounded again.
"Master, the data for this planet has been completely scanned. It is confirmed to be an unowned native planet that has not yet made contact with the universe and is not protected by Purple Gold Empire law."
"The natives within the planet call this planet 'Blue Star,' and its technological development level is the weakest, a Tier 1 civilization."
"The strongest individual is suspected to be a Star Sea Level late-stage, called 'Super God Level' by the natives, and there is only one such individual."
"In addition, there are ten Star Core Level powerhouses, and a large number of Star Dust Grade lifeforms..."
As the voice of the intelligent life Mir faded, all the Black Scorpion Group members in the eight battleships were stunned after hearing it.
Immediately following, including leader Scorpion Fiend, a burst of mocking laughter erupted.
"Hahaha, a Tier 1 native civilization that hasn't even made contact with the universe, without even the weakest Tier 1 cosmic spaceship. The number of powerhouses is only one Star Sea Level late-stage and ten Star Core Level. These natives are truly pitifully weak!"
"Taking them down will be effortless," another member echoed, his voice full of disdain for the upcoming battle.
In his mind, he imagined the scene of the natives on this life planet being easily overwhelmed by their powerful strength and cosmic spaceship attacks, and a proud smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
After a moment of delight, Scorpion Fiend was not satisfied with the initially acquired information. His greedy gaze continued to roam over the data of this planet, which the natives called "Blue Star."
On the spaceship's large screen, the data of the eleven strongest native powerhouses on this planet were listed in detail.
Scorpion Fiend's arrogant gaze lightly swept over the ten weaker individuals whose levels ranged from Star Core Level early-stage to peak.
Their existence, to him, was almost negligible and posed no threat.
Then, his attention was completely drawn to the Star Sea Level late-stage native named "Xu Yi."
A cruel smile curled on Scorpion Fiend's lips.
"Star Sea Level late-stage, his strength is quite good."
"To be able to create such a large gap with other natives on a native planet that has never integrated with the universe, this is definitely an anomaly. His talent surpasses other natives, and he will certainly sell for a good price."
Saying this, he clicked to view Xu Yi's more detailed data.
After browsing, Scorpion Fiend's cruel expression showed a hint of surprise.
"Oh? His talent is actually this impressive? Besides being a mentalist, he broke through from Star Dust Grade eighth-stage to his current Star Sea Level late-stage in less than a year? How is this possible?"
He frowned, his mind filled with doubt.
"Could it be that this planet or this native possesses some secret?"
If this planet were not a native planet that had never made contact with the universe, then he wouldn't be surprised by Xu Yi's rapid breakthrough speed.
But the data Mir retrieved showed that this was a low-level native life planet that couldn't even produce Tier 3 natural treasures. In such an environment, the breakthrough speed of this Star Sea Level native simply defied logic!
Furthermore, Mir's investigation data had never been wrong.
Therefore, he concluded that there must be a hidden reason behind this!
To uncover this mystery, Scorpion Fiend turned and ordered the intelligent life Mir beside him,
"All spaceships, approach Blue Star and conduct another thorough search. We must find out why this Star Sea Level late-stage native's breakthrough speed is so fast!"
"I want to know what secret is hidden on this planet."
Mir responded quickly after receiving the order.
"Understood, Master."
As the voice faded, a total of eight massive cosmic spaceships, which had just emerged from the wormhole, began to rapidly approach Blue Star.
The spaceship systems were fully activated, preparing to conduct a deep scan of Blue Star to obtain more detailed information...
However, this action startled Xu Yi, who was hidden in the starry sky!
Xu Yi, who had been extremely stealthily concealing his aura and slowly approaching the cosmic spaceships, preparing to launch a surprise attack, looked at the eight cosmic spaceships suddenly starting to move in the distance.
He muttered, filled with a sense of crisis, "Not good! Have they discovered this old man?!"
Xu Yi's face became exceptionally solemn, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified to the extreme.
He had already prepared to drop his disguise and equip his Rapid Flight Wings to engage the enemy.
But just then, Xu Yi noticed that these eight cosmic spaceships were not heading towards him, but rather continued to approach Blue Star.
