1321 Customs

He could only think of many devious ways to have Ling Lan be used to being in physical contact with him. Li Lanfeng knew very well that Ling Lan didn't like coming into contact with people. Even if it was the friends he grew up with couldn't get past that restriction.

Li Lanfeng didn't hope to enter Ling Lan's heart in such a short amount of time. He just hoped that the body that Ling Lan was willing to have physical contact with was his body.

Ling Lan gently placed Li Lanfeng on the hover wheelchair and then slowly pushed him forward.

At the customs entrance, a crowd had already gathered around there.

Li Lanfeng showed off an elegant and standard smile that Li Yinfei would do. Many of the staff members shout out in joy uncontrollably when they saw that smile.

They felt that no matter how beautiful and perfect the person they see in the virtual screens was, it was still much less comparable to the real thing. In the videos, she was already more beautiful than humanly possible, but it was still within limits of humans. However, now, they actually felt that a goddess had descended down from the heavens, gracing them with her presence.

Elder Brother Kun walked up and was also stunned by Li Lanfeng's smile. He felt Li Yinfei's smile was much warmer and more intoxicating than usual.

'What has happened to her?' Elder Brother Kun felt Li Yinfei's charm was different from before. It was even stronger now. He believed that as long as Li Yinfei continued to have such charm, no one in the world would be immune to her. She would be able to have anything she wanted in the world with that amount of charm.

Elder Brother Kun looked at Li Yinfei with joy once again. Li Yinfei's expression and habitss were the same as before. However, it was only today that her level of charm had changed drastically.

Li Lanfeng didn't know about Elder Brother Kun's reactions. This time, in order to disguise as Li Yinfei, he had carefully studied some of Li Yinfei's expressions and habits. He had copied all of them perfectly. Even Elder Brother Kun, who had been with Li Yinfei all this time, didn't see any flaws.

"Goddess Li, can you sign an autograph for me?" A staff member finally couldn't hold it in and gave up on maintaining professionalism. He changed to an idol fan and ran up to Li Yinfei asking for an autograph.

Li Lanfeng nodded warmly. "Sure, but only this time. Next time, don't forget about doing your duties."

The staff member blushed and nodded furiously. He felt that the Goddess Li he admired was the kindest person in the world.

Li Lanfeng signed his autograph with elegance. Autographing was also a required skill for an idol. Li Lanfeng didn't forget to level up this skill to max.

The staff member satisfyingly held the autograph and returned to his post. Those who were slower than him, all looked at him with jealousy. However, they were already warned against by Li Yinfei, so they couldn't rush up and ask for an autograph too.

Li Lanfeng and his entourage arrived at the entrance to customs. Li Lanfeng then smiled at the surveillance camera.

At that moment, the surveillance room was busy comparing the names of members leaving on starships for the day.

The staff member responsible for Li Yinfei's area, saw Li Yinfei's warm smile. He felt as if his heart was struck by a great force. In the short while, he didn't know what he should be doing.

After a short while, Li Lanfeng discovered that there wasn't any response showing that they got past customs. Cold sweat formed in his palms. He then raised his eyebrows and said with saddened expression, "Is there something wrong?"

A staff member couldn't endure seeing Li Yinfei's sad expression, so he immediately contacted the surveillance room and woke up the staff member responsible for their area.

That staff member also saw Li Yinfei's sad expression. He was instantly angry at himself for losing focus and making Goddess Li sad. He immediately let her pass through customs.

'With a face like Goddess Li's, do I need to check it numerous times?' The staff member trusted that there definitely wasn't a second face that was as beautiful as Goddess Li in this world.

"Thank you. We're short on time and need to board as soon as possible. We might have to trouble you." Li Lanfeng had a bashful smile on his face.

"Goddess Li, the information of the members in your group is simple and clear. We won't waste too much of your time. Please don't worry," replied one of the staff members beside them.

Li Lanfeng nodded and gestured to Ling Lan to push him into the starship.

The surveillance room didn't dare to waste anymore Goddess Li's time and only hurriedly glanced past Ling Lan. He didn't see any issues and quickly let Ling Lan pass. The staff member didn't want to make Goddess Li wait for too long.

The assistant walked up. At that moment, she saw that the blanket in Luo Lang's hands was actually not covering Li Yinfei's legs. She instantly said anxiously, "Oh my, our young miss's knee was hurt. Why are you standing there and not covering it on our young miss' knees?"

Luo Lang then seemed to awaken from his dream and muttered 'oh' many times. Then he immediately walked up to the inspection entrance with a face full of anxiety as he watched the two people who had already passed the customs.

Luo Lang's anxious expression was too pronounced. Additionally, the staff member in the surveillance room was worried about Goddess Li's injuries, so he didn't compare Luo Lang with the data carefully. He only looked at it twice and then let him pass.

After hearing that he had passed customs, Luo Lang instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately put his head down with the blanket in his hand and ran towards the other two.

The assistant's originally nervous expression also instantly loosened. She walked up to the inspection entrance and waited for the examination of her face.

Without the Goddess Li clouding his mind, the staff member immediately changed his mentality and carefully compared the data of the assistant. After seeing that everything was correct and met requirements, he let her pass.

Then it was Elder Brother Kun and the eight bodyguards. After comparing them many times over, they also passed through.

At that moment, the person-in-charge of the surveillance room came to check up on his work. The person-in-charge nodded in satisfaction when he saw his staff members carefully examining the last bodyguard's information along with the three dimensional image of that bodyguard's face.

He then asked the staff member, "These people don't seem to be soldiers."

"Yes, it's Li Yinfei, her staff members and bodyguards," replied the staff member immediately.

"Ah, it's Goddess Li. Did you carefully examine all of them?" Li Yinfei was considered to be the best known singer across the Federation. This person-in-charge was although not a crazy fan like those younger soldiers, he still knew about her.

"Yes, I've carefully examined them. There are no issues," replied the staff member. In order to not waste Li Yinfei's time, he didn't carefully compare the two assistants and let them through. However, those who could serve Goddess Li so closely definitely didn't have any issues.

The staff member comforted himself just like that. It was because no matter if it was Goddess Li, her assistants, Elder Brother Kun or the eight bodyguards, all of their information was correct without any mistakes. He was very sure there were no issues.

Plus, the higher-ups had told them to be on the lookout for three people trying to smuggle themselves onboard a starship. He only didn't carefully examine two people. Just the numbers he didn't carefully examine was different from what was told to them.

The staff member thought about it and believed he was right. He didn't think any problems could come from his work.

Seeing the staff member with a face full of certainty, the person-in-charge didn't suspect anything. He walked over to the next staff member and began examining that staff member's work.

1322 Emergency Call

Ling Lan slowly pushed Li Lanfeng onboard Li Yinfei's cruise ship.

"Let's go to the control room to take a look," While they were going through the corridors of the ship, Li Lanfeng suddenly broke the silence. Luckily, he was well-versed in imitating so he imitated Li Yinfei's voice to near perfection. If you didn't listen to it carefully, you might not be able to notice the difference.

Elder Brother Kun looked at Li Yinfei in surprise. In the past, Li Yinfei never liked to interact with the crew members of the ship. She felt that they were all savages, and secretly looked down on them because of so.

"They've been guarding the ship for many days. It must have been hard for them. I should express my thanks to them," Li Lanfeng flashed a sincere smile as she spoke gently.

It looked like Li Yinfei finally realised that she needed to maintain a good relationship with the crew members. Elder Brother Kun was elated by the fact that Li Yinfei seemed to have turned over a new leaf. It should be known that frequent travelers like them were most afraid of offending the crew members that defended the safety of cruise ships. In the past, Li Yinfei despised these rogues and always acted arrogantly in front of them, infuriating them to no end.

Li Yinfei was able to disguise her real self perfectly in front of outsiders, always appearing amiable and gentle to the public. However, she couldn't hide her deep-seated arrogance from the people who worked closely with her. This was her weakness. Some might say that she was just being her real self but if she acted arrogantly all the time, it was very easy to dislike her. As her manager, Elder Brother Kun took care of many conflicts for her. His conflict management was the only reason why the team was still able to work together.

Just like that, Elder Brother Kun led Li Lanfeng and her group into the control room.

The moment they entered, the lively atmosphere in the control room turned cold.

The captain of the ship noticed the change in atmosphere. He turned around and saw Elder Brother Kun. He also saw Li Yinfei and the other people behind Elder Brother Kun. He frowned instantly.

"Old Kun, why are you here?" He forced himself to smile as he got up and welcomed the group. While he was welcoming the group, he sent an inquisitive gaze at Elder Brother Kun. He seemed to be asking why he brought the mess of a person to the control room.

Elder Brother Kun laughed. "Old Lin, young miss heard that you're having a hard time so she came to visit you to express her gratitude."

Old Lin was instantly dumbfounded when he heard such an unbelievable statement. He looked at the lady who was smiling gently and weirdly enough, she didn't have the arrogant aura around her anymore.

Did the military teach this proud young miss how to be polite and grateful?

Li Lanfeng didn't seem to notice Old Lin's astonishment. He just continued maintaining his perfect and amiable smile.

He was used to wearing this smiling mask. No matter how close the person in front of him was, even if it was the family head of the Li family, his grandfather, his facade wouldn't disappear.

When he saw Li Yinfei continuing to smile even under his questioning gaze, the captain finally started to believe that Li Yinfei was here to thank them. She didn't come here because Old Kun persuaded her to come. She also didn't seem forced to smile at them. Her smile looked really genuine to him.

The captain's expression gradually softened. In reality, it was hard to hate someone with such a pretty face. However, Li Yinfei's personality was really bad to even have a good impression of her even under the guise of her beautiful appearance. Her horrendous personality slowly corroded the beautiful image they had of this goddess. In the end, they completely forgot about her beauty and only remembered her irritating personality.

The captain was used to seeing many beautiful ladies in the world but after Li Yinfei changed her personality, he started to feel that she wasn't so loathing anymore.

Ling Lan quickly glanced at Li Lanfeng and smiled secretly. This fellow actually activated his innate talent, Bewitch, to gain favor with the captain and the crew members.

"It must be hard on you recently." Li Lanfeng bowed to thank them while being seated in the wheelchair.

Whether it was his voice or his expression, they were all filled with sincerity. The sincerity was clearly delivered to everyone through their eyes, and ears, and eventually, to their hearts.

The crew members, who had a stiff expression on their face, finally smiled in a relaxed manner after hearing Li Yinfei's calming voice. Their gaze turned friendly as they looked at her.

Elder Brother Kun was satisfied with Li Yinfei's performance. He shouted loudly, "That's right. All of you had to stay on the ship while we were gone so you didn't have a chance to walk around the Planet General. It must have been hard on all of you. Thank you for your efforts."

Captain Old Lin laughed out loud when he heard him. He patted Elder Brother Kun's back and replied, "Why are you being so polite? We're all in this together. Don't worry. We'll be in charge of the safety of the flight."

Li Yinfei smiled and nodded gratefully at him. She looked curiously at the crew members who were preparing for flight. Then, she asked shyly, "Captain Lin, can I take a look at how you prepare for a flight?"

The captain no longer loathed Li Yinfei so he wouldn't reject such a small request. He waved his hand indifferently and said, "Sure. Miss Li, you are free to roam around. If there's anything you are curious about, just ask them."

Li Yinfei pushed herself to the pilot excitedly after the captain agreed to her request. A pilot's skill was very important in ensuring that the cruise ship was able to leave its secured dock quickly and take off perfectly.

Luo Lang's calm personality also took over the main body, and he walked towards the crew member who was controlling the engine.

As for Ling Lan, she continued to stand behind Elder Brother Kun which also meant that she was standing behind the captain.

If the take-off was smooth, the three of them wouldn't act. However, Ling Lan would never leave her life to luck. This was the reason why they found an opportunity to come to the control station. If any unexpected problems arised, they would snatch over the control of the starship and personally drive the starship out of Planet General.

"Report. Captain, the engine is ready. Ship Anmi is prepared to depart."

After waiting for three minutes, they finally received the report that the engine was ready. Li Lanfeng clenched his fist instinctively.

"Old Kun, are we leaving now or do we have to wait longer?" Old Lin asked Elder Brother Kun who was beside him. He didn't know if there was any other request for them.

"There's no need to wait. Let's take off now. I want to see the scene when the cruise ship takes off." Before Elder Brother Kun could reply, Li Yinfei answered the question for him excitedly. Her face was slightly red due to her excitement, making her seem even more mesmerizing. The crew members who were looking at her felt that their souls were being sucked away.

Old Lin coughed and regained his composure. He said, "In that case, let's prepare to leave."

"Muzi, contact the control tower and tell them that we're leaving. Ask them to arrange a lane for us and a time for take-off."

"Yes, captain." The crew member called Muzi quickly contacted the control tower of Planet General. Soon, the control tower gave them their schedule.

"Time in departure is in 15 seconds through Lane HKL93." Muzi immediately reported what he heard to his captain.

"Okay. All crew members! Be in your positions!" Old Lin's gaze turned serious.

Taking off seemed very simple but if it wasn't done correctly, problems could arise easily. If the error was serious, it might even cause the cruise ship to collide with the gates on the lanes which would result in a huge loss.

Suddenly, the control tower suddenly made an emergency call. They demanded the ship to stop their take off.

Captain Old Lin got a shock but before he could give an order to stop, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. Then, he fainted.

Chapter 1323 Left Successfully

"What are you doing?" Elder Brother Kun exclaimed in shock and anger when he saw his subordinate knocking the captain unconscious.

Ling Lan sent a bone-chilling glare at him, and Elder Brother Kun immediately felt as if a large sledgehammer was slammed across his chest. He flew off his feet and landed heavily on the ground, denting it. He fainted due to the impact.

The pilot subconsciously wanted to stop the take-off but a beautiful fair hand suddenly touched his hand. It was so soft it felt as though there were no bones in the hand.

The pilot was stunned for a moment. However, he regained his senses immediately, and just as he wanted to stop the take-off, he realised that his hand couldn't move.

The beautiful hand was suddenly like a metal claw clutching his hand. It didn't feel like the soft hand from before.

"Who are you?" The pilot suddenly thought of an unlikely possibility. He looked at Li Yinfei in shock. This strength wasn't something their arrogant and weak young miss should have.

"You're very smart. Have a good rest." Li Lanfeng didn't have the patience to answer his doubts. He replied to the pilot in an indifferent tone before releasing his spiritual power, knocking the pilot and the other crew members around him unconscious.

In the blink of an eye, only Ling Lan and her two comrades were left awake. Oh, and the assistant who had pledged her allegiance a while ago.

When Li Lanfeng and Ling Lan acted, Luo Lang acted too. He took care of the remaining crew members.

Those people that were a hindrance were knocked unconscious by the three of them. After that, the three of them sat in their positions.

As someone who graduated from the military academy, they knew how to operate a military vessel. It was a subject they had to learn. Luckily, a cruise ship was less complicated than a military vessel so after glancing around at the controls, they managed to understand the basic operations of the ship.

They were also lucky that the basic operations were all done by the mainframe. They only needed to steer the ship and prepare for the take-off.

The cruise ship started speeding quickly on its lane. Once its speed reached a certain point, they would be able to take-off into space.

"Stop. Hurry up and stop! Did you hear me? I request you to stop your take-off." The yelling voice of a JMC from the control tower was heard from the channel.

Li Lanfeng answered the call and replied with a pouting face, "I'm sorry, I accidentally started the ship just now. It's too late to stop it now."

"Miss Li…" The angry expression on the JMC's face disappeared instantly when he saw Li Yinfei. He hurriedly advised her, "Quickly ask the pilot to use the emergency stop button."

Li Lanfeng asked curiously, "Why do we have to stop? We have already started taking off. Plus, I have already handed in my application to leave the port.

"We detected unknown energy on your cruise ship. We need to inspect your ship." Suddenly, a stern senior colonel appeared in the video feed. "If you don't stop now, we'll block the lane. Don't blame us for not reminding you if something unfortunate happens to you."

"How troublesome." Li Lanfeng pouted unhappily, revealing his princess temper. But, he seemed to not want to offend the military so she replied helplessly, "Forget it, I'll ask them to stop."

The senior colonel's expression softened when he heard this. However, in the next second, his face turned grave. He shouted to the person beside him. "Seal the lane."

Li Yinfei's cruise ship didn't stop. Instead, its speed turned up a notch. It was obvious that Li Yinfei didn't want to listen to them. She was just being perfunctory.

The spaceport quickly sealed the lane in front of the cruise ship.

Li Lanfeng looked somber as he stared at the sealed gate in front of the cruise ship. His face was slightly pale. He gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his hands trembled a little. But, he still decisively increased the speed of the ship.

The cruise ship moved at extreme speed towards the sealed gate. If it wasn't able to take-off before it reached the sealed gate, it would collide with it forcefully. They might not be injured or killed but they would never have another chance to leave Planet General again.

"Come on, fly up." Li Lanfeng pulled the lever until it almost snapped in half. The support that was connected to the lane was released.

The bow of the cruise ship lifted abruptly. It scrapped the sealed gate slightly and flew into space. It was a very close call.

"Do we attack it?" The sergeant in charge of the safety in the control tower asked his superior.

"Attack what?" The officer looked at the cruise ship in the sky and questioned the soldier calmly.

"They just left without permission, right?" The sergeant asked with uncertainty. If they didn't follow orders, he could attack the cruise ship without asking for approval.

"Are their documents not complete? Did the higher authorities stop them from leaving?" The senior officer shook his head. He was speechless at how dull his subordinate was.

"But those people ask them to stop for inspection, right?" The sergeant pointed at the soldier who was jumping on his feet angrily. That soldier didn't belong to the ground service team at the spaceport.

"He isn't our superior. Moreover, the documents he provided are not complete. Yet, he still asked us to cooperate with him." The senior officer scoffed. Those people always acted arrogantly in front of their ground service team just because they were from a special department in the military. They treated them very badly. Finally, he managed to catch them without the proper documents so of course, he had to make things difficult for them. So what if Li Yinfei smuggled those people out? These people illegally entered Planet General but the military didn't dare to openly search for them. Instead, they send the people from the special teams to search for them secretly. That meant that these people were the victims of the fight for political power.

As long as they were not traitors of the country, he didn't mind helping them once.

"Why didn't you attack them?" The senior officer didn't want to bother about the angry senior colonel but the other party wasn't planning to let him off. He ran over angrily and questioned the senior officer.

"Why must we attack them?" The senior officer raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I said that there's suspicious energy detected on the ship." The senior colonel gritted his teeth furiously as he looked at the spaceship flying further and further away. Now, he just wanted to vent his frustration. He almost managed to catch a big fish. He almost had the chance to gain huge merit.

"Do you have evidence?" The senior officer folded his arms in front of his chest and asked calmly.

"Of course." A chain dangled from his hand. There was a detector hanging on the chain. It was blinking with light. "It lit up so it means that the suspicious domain concept energy appeared here before."

In order to turn their face mediocre, Ling Lan and her comrades took the risk and used very little domain concept energy to alter their appearance. The amount of domain concept energy they used was very little so it could only be detected if the detector was very close to them.

Ling Lan and her comrades were lucky. The soldiers from the special team weren't at the scene just now. They were searching around the Planet General so Ling Lan and her comrades managed to pass the customs without being found out.

Actually, Ling Lan and her comrades were discovered because one of the soldiers searching for them loved Li Yinfei. Hence, when he saw someone with Li Yinfei's signature, he immediately went to find the person after his work to witness the real signature of his goddess. That was how he ended up at the place where Ling Lan and her comrades walked through. The lingering domain concept energy in the air was then detected by the detector.

That was why the senior colonel asked the cruise ship to stop. You could say that Ling Lan and her comrades were simultaneously lucky and unlucky. Fortunately, they still managed to leave Planet General successfully.

Chapter 1324 A New World

"Even with that, you still can't prove that the energy came from Li Yinfei's group. Miss Li had all the relevant documents required to leave the port. There was also no problem detected when she passed through the customs. I can't attack a ship just because you suspect it without any evidence. The owner of this ship is the dream lover of all soldiers, Miss Li Yinfei. I can't anyhow attack it," the senior officer of the ground service team replied indifferently.

"However, she refused to stop when we requested her to. There's obviously something amiss." The senior colonel was indignant.

"Maybe Miss Li lost control of the ship or she just wanted to have a thrill ride." The senior officer shrugged and continued, "We can't prove that she was in the wrong so we must consider all possibilities."

"You're making excuses for her." The senior colonel pointed at the senior officer furiously. He didn't expect the senior officer of the ground service team to speak up for Li Yinfei so openly.

"First, prove that your detector didn't make a mistake. Prove that the domain concept energy you detected really came from Miss Li's group. If not… I'll report your groundless accusations to the military." This senior officer of the ground service team was the person in charge of the safety of Planet General. As someone who managed to climb to this position, he wasn't a simple person. Thus, he didn't flinch due to the senior colonel's criticism.

The unyielding attitude of the other party woke the senior colonel up. He flicked his sleeve and said, "I'll report to the military too. You should think about how you will explain your actions."

"You don't have to worry about that. I followed the regulations perfectly. I have nothing to be afraid of." The senior officer sneered. The other party had connections but he had his own connections too. He wasn't afraid of them.

In the end, they ended on a sour note. The battle of justice between the two teams lasted for a long time. In the end, both parties were punished equally.

As for the Li family, they received the news Li Lanfeng sent to them from the virtual world so they hid Li Yinfei. They would think of a way to release Li Yinfei after everything calmed down or find a way to fetch 'Li Yinfei' back from Planet General.

In the main house of the Li family, the family head, Li Hongji, who was the grandfather of the three brothers from the Li family, waved his hand indifferently when he heard the report of what happened on Planet General. He allowed his men to carry on with their plans.

This was the main study room of the Li family household. It was filled with books of all subjects from all eras. The Li family could proudly say that, besides the national library, no other place had as many books as them. You could not see the end of the massive number of bookcases and books at one glance.

Only members of the main Li family were able to enter the main study room. This was because the genealogical tree of the Li family was hidden there. There were more than a million books on the genealogical tree of the Li family. Of course, ever since the mainframe was invented, everything was recorded in the mainframe. However, the Li family still left a written record of it. This habit lasted until today.

There was only one person in the huge study room so it was extremely quiet.

In actual fact, besides Li Hongji, none of the people from his generation or the younger generations liked this place. They felt that this place was lifeless.

Li Hongji sat on a sofa beside a bookcase silently for a few minutes. Suddenly, he laughed. It was a gut-wrenching laugh.

"Li Mulan, Li Mulan. As expected of the inheritor I have high hopes of. You schemed against the Li family outrightly so that I have to clean up the spilled milk for you." Li Hongji smiled lightly. "Unfortunately, you're still too young. Your schemes are too simple. There's no standard to them. I'm really disappointed. The Supreme Commander Fate… it looks like I expected too much."

Li Hongji closed his eyes and when he opened them after a while, his gaze turned sharp. "I'll give you one more chance. I hope that after you escape with Ling Lan, you'll grow smarter."

Suddenly, malicious intent appeared on his face. He gave a look of contempt. But, soon, the look disappeared. Li Hongji returned back into the calm and composed family head of the Li family.

After leaving Planet General, Ling Lan and her comrades passed through many abandoned wormholes (In the past, Little Four liked to find wormholes that had been abandoned for more than a thousand years. He would record all the wormholes on a map. It was a hobby of his in the past but now, it helped Ling Lan and her comrades to escape). They managed to evade the tracking from the Federation and left the planetary sector of the Federation at the least expected moment, entering the public planetary sector.

Then they went to the space station where the 7th Bugle Call was undergoing maintenance. The trip took around one month.

Tian Fang, who was waiting agitatedly for their return, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three of them safe and sound. Ling Lan and her comrades returned the cruise ship to Captain Old Lin and his crew.

After Ling Lan left Planet General, Elder Brother Kun, Old Lin, and the other people slowly regained their consciousness. Of course, there was nothing they could do too. The cruise ship was controlled by Ling Lan. They could only cooperate with her obediently.

When Ling Lan returned the cruise ship to them, Old Lin and his crew were stunned by the kind gesture. However, they felt that it was understandable too.

This was because they saw the 7th Bugle Call. The 7th Bugle Call had changed its looks completely. The characteristic of the Destruction Devil couldn't be seen but under the meticulous transformation by the commander of the space station, it looked extremely beautiful. A single glance was enough to know that this was a powerful starship.

There were numerous holes around its body. They were all covered up but at a close distance, the holes could still be seen faintly. When Elder Brother Kun and Old Lin thought about the cannons hidden within all these holes, they felt a chill down their spine. One round of firing was enough to turn their cruise ship into a ball of fireworks.

And that was just the side missiles. If the side missiles were already so powerful, the main cannons must be even stronger. Based on the size of the starship, there were at least 50 main cannons. The main cannons were hidden very well so they couldn't gauge the number.

The price of these weapons was enough to buy at least three of their cruise ships. The equipment inside and the number of crew must be ten times, or even more than a hundred times as numerous compared to them.

Someone with such an impressive starship wouldn't care about their shabby cruise ship.

Under Elder Brother Kun and Old Lin's reluctant gaze, the 7th Bugle Call took off. It flew towards a new world none of them had been to before.

It was a place filled with powerful people fighting for power. It was a messy place that had no peace. It was a place filled with dangers.

However, likewise, it was a place full of opportunities.

Lawless Lands, here we come.

Chapter 1325 Luoluo Is A Man!

Lawless Lands was the furthest and poorest area in the human universe. It consisted of around 1300 planets. Most of them were barren planets with powerful radiations, inhibiting any normal humans to survive there, so it left around a hundred habitable planets. Even in those habitable planets, they still required a protective shield to optimize the atmosphere for humans.

None of the prosperous nations in the central region wanted to develop this area due to the lack of resources, the lack of humans living on these planets, and its long-distance from them. The number of people living in the Lawless Lands was probably less than all their third-rate planets combined. If they wanted to control this area, they needed to supply soldiers and resources here continuously. Moreover, the fruits of their labour wouldn't appear instantly too.

Due to the bad environment, the locals here were all naturally very strong. It could be said that they were born fighters and mecha operators. An ordinary-looking youngster might be a Qi-Jin master or a special-class mecha operator. There were some nations that wanted to build a base here and groom these talented locals but after some time, they realised that it wasn't worth the effort.

Firstly, the locals here were very stubborn. They would rather die than bow down to someone else. If they continued to struggle for power with the locals, all they would get was a useless planet. Secondly, they kidnapped a powerful local back for research but the results were disappointing. The average life expectancy of the people was around 70 years due to the bad environment they were living in and the powerful radiation constantly phasing over them as they lived their normal life. What was worse was that 70 years was already an optimistic guess. A more accurate number might be 50 years old. Mind you, the life expectancy of the people in the centre of the human universe was 150 to 180 years. No matter how good the combat abilities of these people were, their lifespan restricted their progress. So what if they were able to advance to the domain realm or become an ace mecha master at a young age? They wouldn't have long to live after reaching that level or stage.

After finding out this fact, no nations had any interest in this area anymore. In actuality, they also didn't have the time, energy, or money to control this area so as time went by, this area became the haven of criminals who were exiled from their own nations. This was the only place they were able to have a chance to live a comfortable life. But, the arrival of these criminals made the chaotic planets even messier.

Soon, the area turned into an uncontrollable battlefield. In the end, the Intergalactic United Nations named this area, the Lawless Lands-a befitting title for an ungoverned zone.

However, if you have the strength, you would be able to live a pretty good life. But, there was one prerequisite. You mustn't offend the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands.

There was only one wormhole leading to the Lawless Lands. Sadly, this tunnel was frequently unstable and dangerous.

Many criminals overcame numerous obstacles to reach the wormhole but due to their lack of luck, they met a star tidal wave and died in the wormhole.

Normally, ordinary merchant ships wouldn't enter the Lawless Lands. The journey was dangerous and their safety couldn't be ensured even after reaching their destination. They didn't know if the poor people would be crazy enough to lock them up. However, if enough profit could be made, there would always be brave merchants willing to take the risk. As long as enough profit was present, bold merchants would fly to the Lawless Lands to earn enough profit that could last them for a lifetime.

That day, one of the merchant ships entered the wormhole leading to the Lawless Lands while carrying the criminals exiled from their nations.

"Uncle, is the Lawless Lands really suitable for us?" A youngster blinked innocently as he looked at the stern middle-aged man in front of him.

Ever since he could remember, he had been following his uncle, living a life of hiding and fear. They would stay in one place and work there for a period of time before moving onto the next planet. They roamed around like this in the universe for ten years. At the end of those twn years, his uncle finally earned enough money to board this ship which was heading to the safest location his uncle felt, the Lawless Lands.

The middle-aged man turned to look at the youngster and sighed. "I don't know. But, I know that this is the only place they couldn't reach us. You'll be able to live more freely too."

The Lawless Lands was a dangerous place where only the fittest would survive, but anywhere else they stayed at were dangerous too. If that was the case, why not come here and escape from that person's control? Without him, they would be able to live quietly and, maybe, more smoothly and freely.

=

The middle-aged man didn't know if coming to the Lawless Lands was the right decision. However, he knew that there was no place for him or his nephew in any other parts of the universe. As long as they were alive, they would be caught by that person one day.

At first, he thought that the money he saved was only enough for him to sit on a shabby and damaged starship. Fortunately, a pirate spaceship, which was heading towards the Lawless Lands, passed by the area he was at. The people on the ship probably wanted to earn some extra cash so they allowed guests to come onboard the ship at a cheap price.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but complimented the room they were living in. It was small but not suffocating. They didn't need to squeeze with the other passenger. It was a six-person room but there were three bunk beds so it was still quite comfortable. On top of that, he still remembered his astonishment when he entered the ship. It looked old and dilapidated on the surface with many holes but its huge size proved that it was once a dominating presence.

This wasn't an ordinary pirate ship. The middle-aged man looked at the crew members that were patrolling outside the door. They had an imposing aura around them. They must be a brutal and frightening pirate crew.

The middle-aged man was frightened but for some reason, he felt a sense of safety. The journey that was said to be dangerous seemed like nothing to him.

"Bastard." A clear voice echoed in the corridor outside. The familiar voice woke the youngster up from his thoughts. Before the middle-aged man could stop him, the youngster had already dashed out with a pale face.

"Luoluo, are you alright?" The youngster saw a beautiful man puffing his cheeks angrily in the corridor. He was looking furiously at the pervert who blocked his path. The pervert was flashing an evil smile. The youngster hurriedly ran over and pulled the beautiful man behind him.

"Hey, do you think that a small little brat like you can save the beauty?" The pervert retracted his smile when he saw the youngster interfering with his affair. The sleazy aura around him disappeared and his expression turned sinister.

The youngster shrunk his body in fear but in order to protect his friend, he stood firm and forced a sentence out of his mouth. "Luoluo is a man.��

Chapter 1326 Let Him Vent His Emotions

Requiring such an embarrassing statement to protect himself, the beautiful man felt his face heat up from embarrassment. He wanted to kick this nosy youngster away from him.

"So what if he's a man? If a man can look like that, it's even better for us." The sleazy man gave a devilish smile. In actual fact, he already knew that this beautiful person in front of him was a man. However, since they were going to the Lawless Lands, this pretty and weak little vixen would become someone's food sooner or later. In that case, why not let him take advantage of him first? After all, it would bring him some happiness in this otherwise boring journey.

He was focusing all his attention on the beautiful young man and the youngster so he didn't notice that when he started talking, the guards were already closing in on them. Once he did anything that they deemed dangerous to the safety of the journey, they would fill him with bullet holes.

"You should be more aware of your situation. If not, you won't know how you died." Five of the pervert's friends started mocking and blasting the youngster.

The middle-aged uncle of the youngster turned pale when he thought about the eventual outcome of this tussle if he didn't intervene in this. He hurriedly ran over and continuously bowed down as he apologised, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My nephew is still ignorant of the real world. I'll bring him back immediately." After he finished speaking, he pulled on his nephew's arm.

The youngster looked weak, but he was actually quite strong. He flung his arm, breaking free from his uncle's tight grip, and shouted, "I'm not leaving! Luoluo is my friend. I must protect him."

The uncle's eyes dilated as he fumed in anger. He forcefully slapped the youngster across his face. "Have I not taught you anything?! What the hell are you talking about protecting someone?"

The youngster looked at his uncle in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the uncle who always doted on him from birth would slap him.

When he saw the shocked face of his nephew, the uncle immediately felt immense regret in his heart. He truly regretted protecting and doting on his nephew so much until he turned into this ignorant and dumb self-idolized hero. He wouldn't be able to survive in the Lawless Lands with this kind of personality.

"Come back." His immense regret immediately turned into burning rage, as he forcefully grabbed the youngster's collar and dragged him towards him.

Compassion was unnecessary in this land where only the fittest survived. If you didn't have enough strength, this kind of act would only attract unnecessary problems. Even though he felt pain in his heart, he still had to teach his nephew this lesson.

"Luoluo! Luoluo!" The youngster furiously tried to struggle out of his uncle's grip. However, he was unable to break free from the tight grip again. He could only turn around and looked apologetically at Luoluo. Ever since he was young, he roamed about the different nations with his uncle. They constantly had to change their homes and identities so he never really had the chance to make any friends. But, everything changed when he met Luoluo in this starship, who was as lonely as him. When they first met, they were just exchanging small talk and after a few days of the same routine, he started to see himself as Luoluo's best friend.

The youngster was filled with deep regret. He was a totally useless best friend to Luoluo. If he was stronger, if he was just half as strong as his uncle, he might have been able to protect Luoluo personally.

The uncle forcefully dragged his struggling nephew across the floor back to their room. The pervert's friends wanted to stop him but their leader, a grim-looking man, signaled with his hand to urge them to stop. He allowed the uncle to drag the youngster away.

The uncle outwardly acted like a coward but he gave him a dangerous feeling. They were criminals who committed much evil and their hands were stained with the blood of many. To do so much crime without getting caught, they needed keen instincts and a sharp mind to trust in those instincts. Once something or someone pinged their instincts, we would want to stay as far away as possible.

After the uncle disappeared back into his room, the leader with the grim expression retracted his gaze and looked at the abandoned beautiful man.

"Are you going to follow us obediently to our rooms or do you want me to invite you personally?" The leader of the perverts asked coldly.

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of all the other passengers. However, these people felt that it was none of their business so they just continued looking at the good show.

An intriguing idea flashed passed Luoluo's head. After thinking about it for a while, he revealed a mesmerizing smile. At first, he looked pretty and elegant but now, seductiveness oozed out of his actions.

The pervert's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but dryly smack his lips. Initially, he just wanted to vent his restlessness on this young man because he was pretty, and from the looks of it, he got really lucky with his choice. This man was some top-class good. He must be a charming rare beauty in bed.

"You're so enthusiastic. I can't reject you." His enchanting eyes made the pervert feel warm all over. His friends were also swallowing their salivas too.

In the captain's room, the stern Tian Fang looked at the resting young man on the sofa. There was a look of contempt on his face. "Boss, do you want me to get him back?"

Since they were pirates now, they changed how they addressed each other. He was still the captain of the 7th Bugle Call but Ling Lan was still the Boss.

Ling Lan opened her eyes. She looked at the screen to see what Tian Feng was talking about. "Let him vent his emotions. It'll be good for him," she replied indifferently.

Xie Yi's death had a huge impact on Luo Lang. They were urgently trying to flee from the Federation before this so Luo Lang didn't have the time to dwell about Xie Yi's death. But, after they started their journey to the Lawless Lands, Luo Lang finally had the time to feel the loss of Xie Yi. As the journey continued, he started being more depressed, but he never revealed any signs of it on his face. Outwardly, he appeared totally normal.

Even so, Ling Lan knew that this wasn't a good sign. Sometimes, letting everything out and crying loudly was much better for one's mental health. However, Luo Lang didn't want to cry so he had to find other ways to vent his emotions. So, these perverts came at a great time.

Ling Lan didn't care about the lives of these trash of the universe. Most of the people that wanted to go to the Lawless Lands were generally bad people. All their hands were stained with blood. In that case, she was putting their lives to good use by letting Luo Lang vent his emotions on them.

Tian Fang looked at Ling Lan inquisitively.

"Do you think I'm too cold-blooded?" Ling Lan wasn't looking at Tian Fang but he couldn't hide his gaze from her.

"They are all criminals. I don't care if they die. We're just enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven." Tian Fang didn't think that there was anything wrong with Ling Lan's actions.

"Me too." Ling Lan smiled lightly.

"The war on Twilight has taught me many things. Maybe too many…"

"No matter what, you're always right," Tian Fang replied calmly.

He spent the past few days with Ling Lan so he personally saw Ling Lan losing her last ounce of innocence and hot-blooded nature. She finally turned into a qualified and cold-blooded leader. It was just that he felt a little pity at Ling Lan's loss of innocence, but Tian Fang had to admit that the current Ling Lan made him feel more assured. This was the kind of leader that could lead them to conquer the Lawless Lands.

While they were speaking, Luo Lang, who went into the room not long ago, walked out with a satisfied smile on his face.

He nodded slightly at the guard patrolling in the corridor before walking to the main hall. Then, he laid on the window and stared at the dark night sky.

After some time, the guard walked into the room with two of his colleagues to clean up the room. Unexpectedly, there was nothing for them to clean. He was confused. Suddenly, he thought of something and his face turned dreadfully pale. He quickly brought his colleagues out. When he passed by Luo Lang, he couldn't help but look at him with fear in his eyes.

Chapter 1327: Put Things Right Once And For All

Madoga port was the only contact the Lawless Lands had with the other parts of the universe, turning it into the most prosperous place available in the Lawless Lands.

The busiest goods market could also be found here. It sold many contrabands that were banned from all the nations in the universe. These contrabands were smuggled in by unscrupulous merchants who sold to the big local merchants. These local merchants would then transport the goods to the other parts of the Lawless Lands.

Even though it was very prosperous, every corner was fraught with danger. Everyone required a good background to deter small-time thieves from stabbing them in the back while they were shopping, and that was for normal shoppers. If you were just a small merchant that wanted to get rich overnight, the local factions here would devour you whole the moment you landed with your goods. Nothing would be left on you except for your clothes, no… they would even take your clothes away to sell.

The 7th Bugle Call slowly docked onto the port. The news that the 7th Bugle Call was filled with goods soon reached the ears of all the factions at the Madoga port. They started investigating this pirate group that they had never heard of before. They wanted to know who they were.

If they found that there were no powerful factions backing up the 7th Bugle Call, bloodshed would be inevitable.

"Are we being too impatient? Shouldn't we investigate the strength of the factions here before making such a rash decision?" Luo Yang asked Tian Fang, who was beside him, worriedly while glancing at the two people who were playing chess.

Tian Fang replied with irritation, "How am I supposed to know?"

Ling Lan made sure that when their guests disembarked, they would intentionally see the warehouse full of goods. The moment Tian Fang knew about this, he knew that Boss had something up his sleeve. However, he didn't know what Ling Lan wanted to do.

Ling Lan maintained a cold look on her face as if she didn't realise Luo Yang's worry and puzzlement. Just as she was to place her queen piece down, she lifted her finger lightly at Li Lanfeng's direction.

Li Lanfeng understood Ling Lan very well so when he saw the finger, he smiled and turned to Luo Yang. He explained, "This is our first time in the Lawless Lands so we normally will need a few months in order to truly understand the different factions and their strength, but now that is a waste of time. Hence, it's better for us to beat the grass to frighten the snake. The first snake that comes to find us might not be the strongest but it will be the most suitable working partner."

Luo Yang nodded thoughtfully but Tian Fang still didn't understand so he asked, "Why will the first snake be the most suitable? Wouldn't the most rash and the most impulsive be the most suitable?"

"Captain, you can't use the mindset of a soldier to judge people here. Anyone that was able to build a notable faction here isn't simple. After all, this is the most prosperous place in the Lawless Lands. It is the link connecting the Lawless Lands to the outside universe. Do you think the 13 Lords will ignore this place and let those greedy merchants take over?" Li Lanfeng smiled. "On the surface, it looks like this place is controlled by those powerful merchants but the real marionettes of the show are the 13 Lords."

"Wouldn't they think that we're lone travelers without any background? They probably think they could just send people to annihilate us and take over our ship and our goods. Honestly, my ship is more attractive than the goods inside." Tian Fang felt a little pain in his heart. He took much effort to modify his ship. His majestic and scary-looking ship that was full of weapons was forcefully turned into a shabby and old-looking ship. He almost vomited blood when he first saw it in the warehouse. Fortunately, it was just a disguise. The powerful weapons were all still hidden from the surface. He did feel a little better when he thought about it.

"No." This time, Li Lanfeng wasn't the one who replied. It was Luo Yang.

As the strategist of the 7th Bugle Call, Luo Yang recalled everything Ling Lan did on their journey and understood why Ling Lan did what she did after Li Lanfeng gave him a hint.

Tian Fang looked at Luo Yang and waited for his explanation. Luo Yang quickly continued, "Boss used the token of the Rainbow Raiders when we stopped at the other ports."

"Thus, if the 13 Lords try to investigate us, they will think that we have the Rainbow Raiders behind us." Tian Fang finally understood. "The Lawless Lands don't care about the Intergalactic United Nations but they have to mind the mercenary world."

"This hellhole is banned by the Intergalactic United Nations. So, without the people from the mercenary world, who will bring them resources?" Luo Yang smiled, "Thus, before they have the ability to take over the mercenary world, they won't dare to offend them."

"And I was still wondering why Boss acted more and more conspicuously as we got nearer to the Lawless Lands. So this was the reason." Tian Fang understood everything. Ling Lan had started her plan a long time ago. Modifying the 7th Bugle Call was part of her plan too.

"I just want to put things straight once and for all." Ling Lan's cold voice sounded at this moment.

Smack! Suddenly, the crisp sound of a chess piece landing was heard. "Thank you."

Li Lanfeng turned his attention back to the chessboard. When he saw his white king piece being checkmated by a black queen and black rook , he smiled bitterly and said, "I lost."

He really mustn't get distracted when he plays chess with Ling Lan. If he just got distracted for just a moment, Ling Lan would immediately checkmate him. However, in the past, Ling Lan wasn't this aggressive. She wasn't as calculating as she was before. Before, Ling Lan would calculate all the possible moves and come up with a trap to lure her opponent in, giving them no room to escape before finally checkmating them.

"You think too much when you're playing chess." Ling Lan said indifferently, "There are two methods to conquer new lands. The first method is to conquer steadily and safely, accumulating strength slowly before swallowing everything in a single instant. The second method is to invade forcefully and quickly to secure a position for ourselves. In our case, we don't have much time. Thus, the first method is unsuitable for us. We can only go with the more risky method."

Ling Lan lifted her head and a light shone over her face. Her cold face and nonchalant gaze assured the people in the room that she had everything under her control. Tian Fang even felt like postrating down and praying to Ling Lan.

"The second method is indeed very risky but we have no choice. If we lose, we will lose everything. If we win, we'll be able to conquer the Lawless Lands." Ling Lan's tone was somber. "Now, the first wave of probes is about to come. Call Luo Lang to prepare."

"Yes." The three of them stood up and accepted the order.

"We've found their identity. They're from the Rainbow Raiders…" This piece of news quickly spread to all the leaders of the various powerful factions.

"It looks like the Rainbow Raiders finally wants a share of the Lawless Lands too." One of the three kings of the mercenary world couldn't restrain themselves anymore?

All the factions in the Lawless Lands knew that this would happen eventually so they weren't too shocked. However, they didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Here's the problem. Shall we cooperate with them or kill them?"

This was the question in all the people's minds. Their decision would affect their future relationship with the mercenary world and the three kings.

"Rainbow Raiders? Are they throwing this bait to see if we'll take it?" One of the leaders of a faction smiled gently. "Let me see which idiot will act first.���

"Are we going to sit back and watch the show?" The person sitting beside him asked in surprise.

"Yes. Let's see if they are worthy enough for us to act." The leader gave a mysterious smile. If they had the ability, he didn't mind working with them. But, he needed to see if they really had the goods first.

Chapter 1328: 13 Lords!

At 10 pm sharp, Madoga port turned dead silent. The locals here immediately went inside their houses and barricade themselves. People in the Lawless Lands would rarely go outside when it was near midnight, as the possibility of getting murdered after midnight increased by 500 times..

Usually, besides the guards on duty at the port, no other living humans could be seen walking on the streets.

However, it was a little different tonight as a bunch of men who looked like they were from an organized drug syndicate, blatantly barged into the port. The guards on duty saw them but they instantly averted their gaze, pretending that they didn't. They even evaded them.

The guards quickly dashed to the other side of the port. When the group of men disappeared from their sight, the head of the guards, as well as the team members, immediately relaxed.

"Head, is there something wrong with those people just now?" The newest member of the guard's team didn't understand why they were so uptight so he asked his head in a low voice.

The head immediately stopped in his tracks. He immediately dug his pocket for a pack of cigarettes and took one out with a trembling hand. His hands only stopped trembling when he placed it in his mouth.

A team member came forward and hurriedly lit up the cigarette.

The head took a deep breath and puffed out a mouthful of smoke. After calming himself, he said, "Little Hu, you are new here so let me teach you your first lesson today. If you want to survive in this port, you must have good eyesight."

"I understand, head." Little Hu tilted his head and looked admirably at his head. The head had a good impression of this young man so he continued giving him advice. "Did you see the symbol on their chest?"

Little Hu tried to remember the scene he saw a moment ago. He answered with uncertainty, "Head, do you mean the thing on their chest that looked like some insect?" Those people were walking too far from him so he didn't see the symbol on their chest clearly. He could only tell that it was in the shape of an insect.

"Yes. It's a black scorpion." The head's expression was gloomy.

"Lord Gen!" Little Hu jumped up in fright.

You might not know anyone in the Lawless Lands but you must have heard of the 13 Lords.

Every lord had his own exclusive symbol. Everyone in the Lawless Lands must remember all their symbols so that they wouldn't unknowingly offend the 13 Lords. If they one day accidentally offend them, they would die a gruesome death the very next day.

Seven-colored scorpion——Lord Gen.

Four-leaf clover——Lord Kun.

Sun, moon, and star——Lord Qian.

Purple lightning——Lord Zhen.

Whirlpool——Lord Xun.

Rain——Lord Kan.

Human torch——Lord Li.

Pangu's axe——Lord Dui.

Clown's smile——Lord Card.

Knight——Lord Yu.

Angel wings——Lord Holy.

Poisonous bat——Lord Ghost.

Medusa——Lord Demon.

A scorpion of any colour belonged to Lord Gen's faction.

"It seems like someone there must have offended Lord Gen." One of the team members sighed at the misfortune of the people who incurred Lord Gen's wrath.

The head shook his head. "That might not be the case." He remembered the huge starship that docked in their port today. He only glanced at it slightly but just the slight glimpse of what he saw was already enough to tempt him.

If you didn't have the ability to protect your wealth, don't expose it. Otherwise, it would be cleaned out the next day.

The head took two deep breaths before throwing the cigarette bud to the floor and stomping it. Then, he said to his members, "Let's go back immediately. No matter what you hear later, ignore it. You must never go out in the presence of the lords' men."

Even if they accidentally saw Lord Gen's subordinates, Lord Gen would order them to be killed based on his way of doing things. Lord Gen would never let someone who knew the identity of his subordinates off.

His team members immediately thought of the gruesome fate if they accidentally encountered one of Lord Gen's subordinates and their bodies immediately tensed up as they replied, "Yes, head."

They basically dashed to their base. The first thing they did after entering their base was locking the doors behind them. They had already decided that even if the port was burned or destroyed, they would ignore everything and never take a step outside.

There were close to a hundred men from Lord Gen's face who infiltrated the spaceport. They walked to the place where the 7th Bugle Call was docked and looked at its magnificent body. The greed in their eyes immediately showed, thinking as though the ship and the goods on the ship already belonged to them. Now, they just needed to take it back and split it among themselves.

The hunk leading the hundred-men group signalled at the subordinate behind him.

The subordinate hurriedly came forward and pressed his hand on the door of the huge ship in an attempt to decode its passcode so that they could enter.

Right at this moment, the closed doors suddenly opened by itself.

This unexpected scene gave the crowd a huge scare.

Looking through the opened doors, it was nothing but pitch black darkness, seemingly like a maw of a monster ready to swallow someone whole.

The group waited for a few seconds but they saw no movement coming from the opened doors. Having no idea what to do, they looked at their head in unplanned unison.

The hunk leading them just stared at the door with a serious expression.

After a few more seconds, he sneered. "Since you know that we're coming, stop hiding. Come out."

His voice broke the calmness of the darkness they saw, like a pebble dropped into a calm lake. Suddenly, the sound of metal chains dragging across the ground echoed throughout the spaceport and pierced through their ears to their brain.

The imminent noise gradually started to grow sharper and sharper.

"Be careful." Their head suddenly shouted with signs of urgency written across his face.

As his voice left his throat, chains after chains suddenly flew out from the darkness behind the door, aiming towards every man with perfect accuracy.

"Ah…"

"Aiyo!"

"Pu~"

"Clang…"

Some of the evaded metal chains pierced into the solid, hard floor made out of superimposed metal sheets. Those men who were unable to evade in time got directly pierced by the metal chains right through their solar plexus. They struggled to take a breath, but everytime they tried, they started to vehemently cough out blood, and with each cough, the chain wrecked through more parts of their body. They didn't even have the time to yell in pain before they died with their eyes still wide open.

On the other side, the leader barely scraped away with his life from the deadly accurate chain. Just as his mind was thinking of ways to defeat these chains, the scent of blood immediately filled the air around him, and with only one whiff, his face immediately turned grim. He cursed bitterly in his heart. They hadn't even seen the outline of their unknown opponent but many of them were already dead.

Their enemy was definitely a formidable opponent. The moment the chains flew out of the door, the leader knew that he must be facing a domain realm master.

But, unluckily for him, all the men he brought were in the Qi-Jin stage. Some had just barely reached the optimal peak of Qi-Jin, half a step away from the domain stage. Yet, their opponent managed to instant-kill so many of them single-handedly.

Clang! Clang! The amplified sound of the chains grating against each other continued to pierce their eardrums. Everyone then realized the chains were criss-crossing against each other, as if it was trapping them in a spider web. They were like the helpless prey of a spider, not knowing when the spider would come out and sink its fang into them.

Far away, a white figure suddenly appeared on top of a tall road lamp. He stood on the lamp lightly and watched the show that was happening near the 7th Bugle Call.

"Looks like Lord Holy is interested in them, Angel Zhi." A voice suddenly rang beside him.

The white figure turned around and saw a young man dressed in a purple down standing on another road lamp smiling at him.

"Isn't Lord Zhen the same?" Angel Zhi replied nonchalantly.

Chapter 1329: Not My Match.

"It couldn't be helped. My master has some connections with the Rainbow Raiders. Since their men are here, we have to welcome them with the grandest greeting. If not, won't we look too disingenuous." The young man in the purple gown smiled as he looked at the massacre going on in the spaceport. "But, it looks like I'm not going to be the star of the show."

"It is no surprise, really. Do you actually think the Rainbow Raiders would send someone incapable here especially when they know fully well how we act around here. They're the Rainbow Raiders for god's sake. Isn't that right, Pu Long?" The young man suddenly appeared enlightened by the lecture given by Angel Zhi. However, his expression was too exaggerated, making it obvious that he was teasing Angel Zhi.

Pu Long then flashed a devilish smile. "You should be saying that to the people under Lord Gen. They're the ones being culled like lambs down there. Doesn't Lord Gen have an amicable relationship with Lord Holy."

Angel Zhi shook his head and smiled. "How do we know who has a good relationship with who? I might be working with you today but tomorrow, we might be enemies. I might be talking nicely with you now but in the next second, we might start fighting for our lives."

"In that case, we should treasure the friendly atmosphere we have now and watch how powerful the people from the Rainbow Raiders are together." Pu Long was very interested in the person who controlled the metal chains.

"I'm very interested too." Angel Zhi laughed as he looked at the spiderweb formed from the metal chains. He knew that one of the twelves angels under Lord Holy could also control metal chains. He wondered of the both of them, who was stronger?

By now, the surviving men under Lord Gen were staring at the door with apprehension. After waiting in complete fear, the sound of grating metal chains stopped. Instead, it was replaced by clear footsteps.

"He's here!" All of them screamed in their minds.

Slowly, a skinny figure walked out from the dark passage.

Everyone was dumbstruck, including Angel Zhi and Pu Long who were standing far away.

The reason they were dumbstruck was because the person they were looking at was just too young. He wore black clothes with a beautiful face on top of it. It was hard to tell if he was a male or female from his face but for some reason, no one thought that he was a lady. Their first impression was that he was just a very pretty young man.

Luo Lang looked at the leader of the group standing in front of him. He had a stunned look. Luo Lang said calmly, "You're not my match."

He shifted his gaze and looked at the direction where Angel Zhi and Pu Long were standing.

"He seems to have discovered us." Pu Long smiled when he saw the intense gaze.

"To look at us with such confidence, he must be a titled domain realm master," Angel Zhi replied calmly.

"Do you want to meet him?" Pu Long asked.

"Why must I?" Angel Zhi just wanted to see how strong were the people the Rainbow Raiders sent. Now that he had his answer, there was no need for him to continue to remain here.

After he finished speaking, Angel Zhi twisted his body and disappeared on the spot.

Pu Long listened to his surroundings carefully and after ensuring that Angel Zhi had really left, he smiled and said, "It's good that you left. You might interfere with my master's business."

"But…" He crossed his hands in front of his chest and stared intently at Luo Lang. "If you want me to appear, you should kill all of Lord Gen's men first."

Luo Lang saw one of the two threats leaving, but the one left seemed to be staring at him silently. Just looking at their actions, he understood that the two of them were not from the same side as the group who tried to steal their starship. Boss did say that there would be many factions coming over to investigate them. Whether they intruded their ship or just watched from afar, his job was to finish those people that offended them.

Luo Lang retracted his gaze and placed it on the leader of the intruding group.

"Are you planning to leave yourself or do you want to continue?" Luo Lang didn't want to fight with weak people like them. To him, it was like a grown adult bully a young child.

"Charge!" The contempt in Luo Lang's voice enraged the leader.

All the men were frightened but under their leader's order, they still rushed towards Luo Lang without any fear of death.

Luo Lang frowned at their reckless decision. He lifted his right hand before tightly clenching his fist.

Suddenly, the spider web of chains in the air started coiling around each other before raining down on the charging men.

"Ah!"

"Pfft~!"

"Ouch!"

Screams of pain echoed in the air. Soon, the floor of the spaceport was filled with dismembered parts of a human body. As for the leader, he retreated back while his men charged forward.

"Disgusting!" Pu Long spat.

"Shameless!" Luo Lang looked at the leader in contempt when he noticed his retreat.

He waved his left hand and a metal chain materialized in mid air. It shot towards the leader.

"Ah! Guardian Ji, help me!" The leader immediately felt the scent of death coming near him so he started shouting frantically.

Phak! A huge hand appeared and slapped away Luo Lang's metal chain.

"Guardian Ji." The leader cried in happiness when he realized he was saved.

But, in the next second, his eyes widened in disbelief…

"Pfft~" Blood spurted out of his mouth. "Why… Guardian, Guardian Ji…"

Guardian Ji slowly retracted his hand that pierced through the leader's chest. In his hand was a heart that was still pounding.

"Lord Gen doesn't need someone who's afraid of death," Guardian Ji replied in an unchanging tone.

The leader fell backward to the ground. No one knew if he heard the reply before he died.

Pu Long frowned when he saw the arrival of Guardian Ji. "I didn't expect him to come here, and he's very hard to deal with. I might not even be his match… I wonder how long the titled domain realm formidable warrior can stand his ground."

Luo Lang just looked too young so Pu Long was under the impression that Luo Lang had just entered the titled domain realm for a few years. Thus, his understanding of his domain concept must not be as deep as an experienced titled domain realm formidable warrior who had been in that stage for more than ten years like Guardian Ji.

"Since this piece of trash is dead. It's time to settle the fight between us." After killing the leader, Guardian Ji turned and looked at Luo Lang.

Guardian Ji never expected the first fighter of the Rainbow Raiders to be so powerful too. Moreover, he was a titled domain realm formidable warrior. At first, he thought that they would at most send a domain realm master out here, but from the looks of it, they underestimated the resolve of the Rainbow Raiders in taking over the Lawless Lands.

What made Guardian Ji furious was how ruthless the fighter from the Rainbow Raiders was. He killed more than a hundred of his men without showing any respect to Lord Gen. Although Qi-Jin masters weren't precious in the Lawless Lands, they weren't grown on trees. Even Guardian Ji felt his heart aching over the loss over such a huge amount of Qi-Jin masters.

Chapter 1330: I Won't Send You Off!

"Indeed. After I'm done with you, I'll need you to give me an explanation," Luo Lang replied casually.

He wasn't one bit afraid of the 13 Lords. Luo Lang truly didn't believe that there was anyone who was more powerful than Boss. Boss would take care of everything that came his way. Hence, he felt very confident when he talked to the people of the 13 Lords.

Guardian Ji was surprised and irritated by how arrogant Luo Lang was acting.. Even if the Rainbow Raiders was one of the kings of the mercenary world, the 13 Lords were still the rulers of the Lawless Lands. It was still up to them to decide if the Rainbow Raiders could have a spot in this piece of land.

Guardian Ji set his mind to teach Luo Lang that in the 13 Lords' territory, even a dragon would have to curl up quietly like a snake.

Suddenly, numerous beautifully-designed earthen doors rose from the ground and surrounded them in a bowl-like enclosure.

"Eight Degrees Brahmin!" Pu Long, who was watching from afar, was flabbergasted by what he was. It was unexpected for Lord Gen's guardian to use his most famous domain technique right at the start of a fight. It was an ultimate technique, capable of killing someone like him if caught off guard. Now, Pu Long was worried for Luo Lang's life. He could only hope that Guardian Ji still respect the Rainbow Raiders enough to not murder Luo Lang. If Guardan Ji didn't even have an ounce of respect towards the Rainbow Raiders, Luo Lang would most likely be dead.

"Earth element?" Luo Lang frowned when he sensed the dense earth element permeating around him. Seeing the earthen doors closing him in a bowl, he slightly moved his fingers as he tried to pierce through the earthen doors with his chains.

The metal chains pierced into the doors but after piercing in for close to 30 cm, it couldn't move anymore. The defensive strength of the earthen doors was too much for the offensive power of his metal chains. Luo Lang couldn't destroy the doors.

"It's useless. You're only able to tickle me with that chain of yours." Guardian Ji scoffed in derision. He waved his right hand and a door unrooted itself off the ground before flying furiously towards the spot where Luo Lang was standing.

Bang!

The huge impact almost caused the entire port to vibrate.

Luo Lang quickly flipped backward, evading the incoming door, and while he was in mid-air, he clapped his hands together and shouted, "Disappear!"

The metal chains around the port turned into balls of smoke as he said that and disappeared following after. Two blurred figures jumped out of Luo Lang's body. Right after that, Luo Lang changed his hand signal and said, "Combine!"

Just as he said it, the blurred figures integrated into his body again. After that, Luo Lang clenched his right fist while moving his left hand over his right waist and slowly drew out a sharp knife.

Luo Lang landed on the ground firmly. He swept the knife in the air and pointed it diagonally at Guardian Ji. A moment ago, he was wearing a cool black attire but now, he had changed into a long black trench coat. The trenchcoat drifted slowly under the breeze at the port.

Guardian Ji frowned. He waved his hands quickly and countless earthen doors rushed towards Luo Lang from all corners, leaving no room for him to escape.

Pu Long was afraid for Luo Lang's life. However, before he could lend a helping hand, Luo Lang had disappeared into thin air.

"What's happening?" Pu Long felt confused by the scene in front of him as he could no longer see Luo Lang at all. After rubbing his eyes in an attempt to clear his vision, he decisively closed his eyes and tapped his forehead with his right forefinger. "Open!"

As he said that, he slowly opened his eyelids, and purple snakes of lightning could be seen crackling over his eyes.

This was the Eye of Lightning that was very famous among all the lightning element domain masters. It was able to improve one's vision to a degree where it would allow the user to see things they sometimes shouldn't.

With the help of the Eye of Lightning, Pu Long was finally able to see Luo Lang's movements clearly.

Luo Lang didn't actually disappear. He was just moving at a speed that couldn't be captured by the naked eye to evade the earthen doors. This was why Pu Long had the illusion that he disappeared.

"That is another domain concept." Pu Long's face went through a series of emotions before his face just went numb from shock. He had never seen someone with two different domain concepts before. Moreover, these domain concepts weren't ordinary domain concepts either. From the way the young man handled his second domain concept, it was a titled domain concept too.

"F**k, who is he? What kind of monster is he?" Pu Long himself was considered a genius in the Lawless Lands too. He was a talented individual who had entered the domain realm at a relatively young age. He felt that he wouldn't lose to anyone besides the other two prodigies in his generation. However, this young man sent by the Rainbow Raiders was not only younger than him but also stronger than him. Just looking at the two different domain concepts, he knew he wouldn't be able to win the young man in a straight up fight.

Luo Lang maneuvered left and right, evading every earthen door that came his way. Soon, he appeared in front of Guardian Ji and slashed his knife at him.

Bang! Just as the knife was about to slash Guardian Ji, he immediately substituted his place with an earthen door to evade the deadly knife. When Luo Lang saw the substitution, he snorted and punched out with his fist an inch away from the door.

Swish!

After the punch destroyed the integrity of the door, the knife chopped the thick earthen door into two like butter. The Banghin doors, which had an abnormally powerful defensive strength, weren't able to withstand the combination of Luo Lang's one-inch punch and the edge of Luo Lang's knife.

More than ten meters away from the place where Luo Lang chopped the earth door, one of the earth doors slowly morphed into Guardian Ji. He didn't expect that after Luo Lang changed his domain concept, he would be able to split his earthen door in half. This was the first time he saw someone splitting his earth door into two that effortlessly.

But, what scared him the most was the change in Luo Lang's speed. Only when he was on the brink of death, he could see Luo Lang's afterimages. Fortunately, he was able to move between his earthen doors so he didn't get hit by the knife.

"You have my respect." Guardian Ji's expression changed many times. In the end, he smiled and cupped his hands.

Luo Lang didn't reply to him. He just stared silently at Guardian Ji.

His cold attitude slightly irritated Guardian Ji, but he quickly remembered that he was alone while Luo Lang had his entire team behind him. Although he didn't know if there was someone as strong as Luo Lang onboard, he never put his life at risk especially after living for so long.

He controlled his anger and continued smiling. "My name is Ji Ming and I'm from Lord Gen's faction. My men seemed to have mistakenly offended you. To express our apology, we will officially pay a visit tomorrow."

Luo Lang scoffed. "I won't send you off."

Guardian Ji's expression turned dull. In the end, he flicked his sleeve and disappeared.

Pu Long touched his chin and smiled. "It looks like I have to report this to Lord Zhen as soon as possible. There might be a good show coming soon."

Ji Ming was a narrow-minded person so he wouldn't let Luo Lang go that easily after he chided him like that. Thus, he would most definitely come back for revenge tomorrow. His master, Lord Zhen's relationship with Lord Gen was okay… well, he was being polite when he said that their relationship was okay. In actual fact, the relationship between them was really poor. If Lord Qian and Lord Kun didn't persuade his master, he would never have worked with Lord Gen to handle that upcoming faction leader.

However, that was the only collaboration they would ever do. Pu Long understood his master well so he knew that even if his master didn't have a good relationship with the leader of the Rainbow Raiders, he would willingly help the other party in order to create more trouble for Lord Gen.
