Chapter 727 -727: Starry Pirates (First Update)

Starry Pirates.

Updat𝓮d fr𝙤m ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com.

As the name implies, they are a group that shuttles between Star Systems, subsisting on plundering resources.

Xue An had discovered upon first entering this planet that the Origin Power of this world had been stolen by something.

That’s why this massive planet was so barren.

Xue An had suspected that it was the Starry Pirates’ doing.

Upon entering Silver City, the towering high tower standing at the city’s center further confirmed Xue An’s thoughts.

The high tower seemed ordinary at first glance, but in fact, its base was connected to the core of this planet.

Every moment, this tower was absorbing the Origin Power of the planet and storing it within its structure.

This was obviously prepared for that bunch of pirates.

As expected.

Now their pirate spaceship had arrived.

The City Lord of Silver City, lying on the ground, shook with excitement upon seeing this, trying to speak but unable to utter a sound, could only wave his limbs as much as possible, trying to attract the attention of the spaceship.

The spaceship slowly lowered its altitude, then a man’s shout came from above.

“Who are you?”

Na Xiongxi, seeing this, was overjoyed. He sprang up from the ground and pointed at Xue An, shouting, “Lord, it’s this guy, he’s an outsider!”

Hearing this, many cannon barrels extended from below the spaceship, all aiming at Xue An.

At the same time, a man’s voice came from the spaceship, “An outsider? I advise you’d better not meddle in affairs that don’t concern you. Leave now and I won’t make things difficult for you, otherwise…”

With that, the sound of the cannons charging echoed from inside the spaceship.

But at that moment, Xue An suddenly vanished from his spot, and when he reappeared, he was above the spaceship, then he smashed down with a punch.

Boom!

This huge spaceship trembled violently, with its protective shield flickering rapidly.

“What’s going on?” came an extremely panicked shout from inside the spaceship.

Xue An didn’t give him a second chance to speak, and punched down again directly.

The spaceship staggered from the impact, then tilted and started falling downwards.

A cry of surprise arose from the crowd in the square.

If it crashed straight down, no one could escape.

Fortunately, the spaceship grazed past the square from above at an angle and, with a roar, crashed into several abandoned buildings beside the square.

Everyone stared astonished at the spaceship.

There stood Xue An atop it, surrounded by swirling Sword Qi, speaking indifferently, “I’m giving you three breaths to come out, or I’ll slash your spaceship with one stroke and send you to perish along with it!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than panicked pleas came from within the spaceship, “Mercy, mercy, I’m coming out right now!”

With that, the top of the spaceship flickered, and a hatch slowly opened from which a bearded man walked out looking disheveled.

As soon as he appeared, Xue An grabbed him and flew back to the square, then threw him to the ground.

Thump.

The man, dusty and disheveled, landed on the ground. Just as he was about to say something, Xue An stepped on him and stated flatly, “Now I ask, you answer!”

The bearded man shivered all over, “Yes!”

“What’s your name?”

“Answering the Lord, my name is Xu Gao!”

“Is it you who stole the Origin Power of this world?”

Sweat appeared on the bearded man’s face, “Yes!”

Xue An then pointed to the City Lord of Silver City, who had already fallen into a stupor. “This is your doing too, isn’t it!”

“Yes!”

Xue An nodded, “Very well!”

Xu Gao trembled all over, afraid that Xue An would get rid of him if dissatisfied, he hastily said, “Lord, I am just a small pirate executing orders, I don’t know anything else! Please show mercy, don’t kill me!”

“Kill you?” Xue An shook his head, “Of course I won’t kill you!”

It was then that Xu Gao breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his heart sank to the depths of despair.

Just like he said, he was an ordinary little pirate in the Blood Skull Pirate Guild.

He was ostracized by others on a regular basis, which was why he was sent to this edge world to collect the planet’s Origin Power.

It was a tough task because who would want to come to such a desolate edge world?

Only a minor character like him would be assigned here.

But he never expected that upon arriving here, he would encounter such a strong cultivator like Xue An.

At this moment, he was on the verge of tears.

“Your spaceship should have a unlocking device on board!”

“Ah?”

“No need for nonsense. You’re here to collect this world’s Origin Power, so you must have brought the unlocking device, for these two are inherently one and the same, just the opposite sides of the same coin!”

Xu Gao was dumbfounded.

The so-called unlocking device referred to the object that could unlock this tower.

But how could he know so much in such detail?

Could it be that he is also a pirate?

At this moment, the last bit of wishful thinking in his heart vanished, and he hurriedly nodded, “Yes! There is indeed one!”

“Bring it out now and unlock the Origin Lock inside this tower!”

Xu Gao’s eyes gradually widened.

He couldn’t have dreamed that Xue An would make such a demand.

He had thought that Xue An wanted to plunder the Origin Power.

Because if the unlocking happened, then all of the Origin Power would be returned.

“Didn’t you hear me?” Xue An slightly raised his eyebrows.

“Ah! I heard, I heard!” Xu Gao hurriedly replied, quickly pulling out an exquisitely delicate round key from his pocket.

“Sir, this is the unlocking device.”

Xue An nodded, seized him and flew to the top of the tower.

Xu Gao did not dare to delay and carefully placed the key into an inconspicuous slot at the top of the tower.

A moment later.

A thunderous boom was heard.

Brilliant light cascaded down from the pinnacle of the tower.

Everyone felt the ground rumbling beneath their feet, not knowing what had happened, their faces filled with shock.

But soon, some noticed something was amiss.

“Look at the mountains outside!”

Everyone turned their heads.

What they saw were the once desolate hills now spotted with green.

The sky, which had always been enshrouded in a grey haze, was now gradually revealing its true face.

Even the black fog that engulfed the entire planet began to thin and eventually dissipated into nothingness.

The intense radiation that was once present was rapidly fading away.

Everyone felt the tremendous changes between heaven and earth.

“My God! Is this really light?”

“What in the world is going on?”

These questions hovered in everyone’s hearts.

Just then, Xue An stood in the sky above, looking down at everyone, and said indifferently, “As you can see.”

“This world was supposed to be like this!”

“But because these Starry Pirates crazily stole this world’s Origin Power, this world became so barren.”

“Now that the Origin Power has returned, everything naturally begins to restore to its original state!”
