A New Crisis

Fengyuan Star's unique astronomical location near the Gray Star Region made it a highly sought-after destination for biological researchers and pharmacists. And where there are pharmacists, there is wealth.

Of course, few people know that it was precisely because of its location that it was almost uninhabited before being formally incorporated into the Federal Government. Everyone was worried: what if the virus from the Gray Star Region spread and infected this planet one day?

Fortunately, this did not happen. Since being incorporated into the Federal Government, Fengyuan Star has become a prosperous planet in just a few years. Its population has long since exceeded 30 billion.

Fengyuan Star's port has always been one of the most prosperous Interstellar Port in the Tianhe Star Region. Protecting the safety of the port's ships and keeping them away from any other forces is a guarantee that the Federal Government's Fengyuan Star branch must ensure.

For the rulers of a planet, they welcome any visitor with spending power, regardless of whether the visitor is Interstellar Pirate, Interstellar Hunter, or even someone from the Dark Magic Domain. They have only one requirement for these visitors: do not cause trouble within their jurisdiction.

However, the military and political departments are completely different. They are mainly responsible for pursuing fugitives on Wanted Order, sending them to prison, and, if necessary, executing them.

The responsibilities of two different departments will inevitably lead to conflicts.

Military personnel frequently spot Interstellar Pirate ships at ports on various planets, but due to clearance issues, they cannot directly seize the vessels; even touching them violates federal law. Their only method of apprehending Wanted Criminal is to capture the bounty hunter himself.

However, if a wanted criminal hides under the protection of other forces, the military will have to be wary.

The Medicine God Alliance is undoubtedly a massive organization that the Federal Government and military are very wary of.

In fact, there are quite a few notorious criminals within the Medicine God Alliance.

Because almost every established Interstellar Pirate crew needs at least one apothecary. Otherwise, just buying ready-made potions would likely bankrupt the entire Pirate Crew before they even reached a third of the New Trade Route.

No one wants to offend the Alchemists' Alliance, because if the entire alliance were to strike, its alchemy factories, trillions of people across the Dragon Soaring Universe would likely die from various diseases within a month. The Federal Government couldn't afford such consequences, and the military even less so.

Furthermore, the military has extensive cooperation with the Medicine God Alliance in order to train soldiers.

Therefore, once a fugitive escapes into the protection zone of the Medicine God Alliance, they have no choice but to ignore the fugitive's existence.

Gu Ding and Liliath were enjoying this moment, having spent the entire morning browsing the markets and exchanges near the Medicine God Alliance.

Although some military personnel glared at the two, they merely stared without taking any action. Liliath would occasionally make provocative faces, which the military personnel could only ignore, turning their faces away.

Liliath bought a lot of things along the way, most of which Gu Ding considered impractical, and some of them Liliath had no idea what to do with. Gu Ding could only sigh inwardly at this, "Old Dad was right, women's minds are so hard to understand."

Of course, Liliath's behavior also made Gu Ding curious about just how big her Storage Space was.

After acquiring Kepu's watch, Sea Emperor helped Gu Ding transfer all useful items to Gu Ding's Storage Space, and also integrated Kepu's watch's Storage Space into Gu Ding's, expanding Gu Ding's Storage Space to over 120 cubic meters. However, Gu Ding knew perfectly well that Liliath's Storage Space was at least 500 cubic meters, because Liliath had easily placed the corpse of a giant beast inside. That giant beast was a full 20 meters tall, and its total volume was at least 400 cubic meters.

"Let's have lunch first and then go sightseeing." Although Gu Ding wasn't tired, he felt that having a meal and resting for a while was a good option.

"Alright then," Liliath. Although she hadn't had enough of shopping yet, she had been eating compressed food with Gu Ding for several days. The wide variety of food she had eaten on Fengyuan Star these past two days had made her unable to resist delicious food.

As the two were about to head towards a nearby restaurant, Gu Ding saw a familiar car driving up.

"La Li, what brings you here?" Gu Ding recognized La Li's car at a glance.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to the port now, you must leave Fengyuan Star as soon as possible!" La Li looked very anxious.

"What happened?" Gu Ding remembered that La Li was supposed to come tomorrow.

"An Interstellar Hunter went to the port early this morning to inquire about you. Uncle Bobby said that the guy's name is Te Er, a Sixth-Order Gene Body with extremely strong strength. It is said that he once captured an Interstellar Pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions. He also has a nickname, which you may have heard of, called The Ripper."

"Oh, I've heard of this guy. He's a notorious Interstellar Hunter. After capturing Interstellar Pirate, he likes to break their bones with brute force, torture them, and then hand them over to the Federal Government and military." Gu Ding was no stranger to this Interstellar Hunter was quite famous in the Tianhe Star Region. "However, his targets are usually people with bounties of over 50 million Star Coin, right? Why would he be targeting me? Are you mistaken?"

"No mistake, Uncle Bobby said a rich guy wants to buy your Grey Eagle spaceship. Once you're arrested and your crimes are confirmed, your ownership of the spaceship will be seized by the Federal Government, which will then put it up for public auction. That rich guy has connections within the Federal Government and can get the spaceship through internal channels, provided he puts you in Federal Prison. You're currently under the protection of the Medicine God Alliance, so the military can't do anything to you here. But Interstellar Hunter are individuals with superhuman abilities; they're only responsible for their own actions. So Te Er takes action, the Medicine God Alliance's protection will be invalid. Uncle Bobby said, judging from Te Er's excited expression, he must have received a hefty bribe from that rich guy this time."

"I understand," Gu Ding grinned after hearing this. "La Li, Lily and I aren't planning to leave tomorrow either. We'll set off the day after tomorrow."

"But..." La Li wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Gu Ding.

"The last ability evolution made me stronger again. I wonder if I can win this battle against a true Sixth-Order Gene Body warrior." Gu Ding was clearly looking forward to this battle.
