A group of figures stood at the bow of the ship.
The Yao Lao closed his eyes to rest, his gray robe flowing calmly, his wrinkled skin smooth. He lay leisurely on a health-preserving net bed that stretched across the bow of the ship.
A burly middle-aged man stood beside Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue, pointing to a misty, dusty star field ahead, and said, "Young people, the insights left behind by the Qilin Ancient Emperor that you are looking for are most likely located in that Star Domain ahead. There have been reports of this before, and their accuracy has been verified multiple times."
Having said that, he waved towards the helm, and the first mate of the spaceship suddenly "fueled up," and a fiery dragon shot out from the stern, transforming into a streak of light as it climbed and accelerated once more.
Feeling this, Xiao Yan cupped his hands and smiled, "Many thanks to the boatman for guiding and propelling us along the way. Upon reaching our destination, regardless of whether we obtain the insights left behind by the Qilin Ancient Emperor three hundred years ago, I will certainly offer you my reward."
The boatman waved his hand and laughed, "Don't mention it. Do you think I'd be afraid of a kid like you who just Severing the Dao not paying?"
After saying that, his gaze swept over Qian Renxue almost imperceptibly, and his Divine Sense, which was at the Saint King level, secretly tried to explore some sacred locations, but in the end, he just let out a muffled groan.
Qian Renxue looked flustered and hurriedly asked, "Boatman, what's wrong?"
The boat captain felt his heart almost stop. He swallowed hard and asked, "Young lady, I sense a deep-seated evil power within you. I tried to investigate you earlier, but it backfired and almost harmed me."
Qian Renxue's eyes widened, looking quite innocent, and she gave a wry smile, saying, "So it's because of me? I don't know why Youren always get hurt by mistake. It's been like this since I was little. I'm so sorry to have hurt you."
The boat captain, looking disgruntled, straightened up and put on a nonchalant expression. He frowned and said, "Young lady, your problem is quite serious. I'll definitely take a closer look at it when I have the chance. It might even affect your future cultivation, which would be very serious."
Qian Renxue nodded quickly.
Xiao Yan, standing to the side, also looked grateful.
Knowing he had successfully fooled the boatman, the captain breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand, and walked towards the helm, leaving the three men alone on the deck.
The ship's rudder was located on the second floor of the spaceship. A crystal-like screen displayed everything on the deck. After entering, the leader of the crew stared at the three of them and spat coldly. Finally, his malicious and somewhat sinister gaze settled on Qian Renxue.
"Brother, this woman is truly stunning!" The crew member at the helm also fixed his gaze on Qian Renxue's ample bosom, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.
The captain scanned his crew members and found that most of them had the same reaction.
He immediately let out a cold snort.
"What do you want? If you want to play, you'll have to wait until I'm done playing!" The boat captain sat on the sofa with a cold expression, looking at Qian Renxue's beautiful figure. He couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, but when he thought of the excruciating pain he had just experienced, he shrank back.
"This woman is no ordinary person. I suspect she's a princess from some powerful family, otherwise she wouldn't have come for the insights of the Qilin Ancient Emperor."
The burly man in black, who was at the helm, spoke up, "What's there to be afraid of? We've robbed plenty of geniuses on the Starry Sky Ancient Road. Our brothers are all at least Saint. What's so scary about dealing with these two Immortal Three kids who have just Severing the Dao?!"
He looked at the scarred boatman and laughed, "Not only will we loot all the money and treasures, but you might even have the chance to become the son-in-law of a wealthy family!"
"A live-in son-in-law?! I think you want me dead already! That woman's mark is at least left by a Great Sage. If she really comes to live with us, she'll tear me apart."
One of the underlings asked, "Boss, putting aside the kidnapping, does that universe ahead really contain the insights of the Qilin Ancient Emperor? That's the insight of an ancient emperor! It not only contains Ancient Emperor Scripture, but it must also contain countless famous cultivation techniques, and perhaps even his insights on the Road to Immortality!"
"Yes, I heard that even the offspring of the Qilin Emperor didn't receive it; the ancient emperor declared that it would only be passed on to a destined person."
The captain glanced at the distant starry sky and said in a low voice, "There have been rumors about this place, otherwise those people wouldn't have boarded our ship and entrusted us to bring them to the Cosmic Frontier. As for whether it really exists, I don't know."
After a brief silence, the boat captain finally said in a deep voice, "We need to recuperate for a while after this job."
All the brothers looked at him.
The boat captain stood up, staring at Xiao Yan on the deck, then at Qian Renxue, his eyes burning with fervor. "Brothers, let's give it our all! If we pull off this, I'll try my best to get you all a new wife!"
"Good!"
"Brother is wise!"
"I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it."
They traversed a dazzling sea of stars, eventually arriving at a desolate expanse of stars.
Xiao Yan and Qian Renxue, whose cultivation levels were only at the " Severing the Dao " level, felt somewhat uncomfortable the moment they stepped onto the planet's surface. Surviving in such a harsh environment was extremely difficult, and it seemed like every step was a struggle; both of them found it hard to move.
The " Saint " Yao Lao, standing to the side, fared much better, erecting a protective shield around the two of them.
It was at this moment that the captain and his men all disembarked from the spaceship, revealing their ferocious nature. No longer pretending, they approached the three men with weapons in hand, exuding a strong killing intent. It was clear that they were ruthless characters who had emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Let the man commit suicide, so you won't have to suffer any physical pain later!" The boat captain, no longer benevolent, held a Heavenly Blade and coldly stared at Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, while his henchmen had already surrounded them.
"You couldn't wait to get off the spaceship? I thought you'd at least wait for us to wander around a bit, see the insights of the Qilin Ancient Emperor, and at least make an appearance," Xiao Yan said with some regret.
"Snort!"
The captain sneered, "You still want to see the Qilin Ancient Emperor's insights? You're about to die and you still haven't realized the gravity of the situation? This is nothing but a scam. I have no idea about any insights. I only let you board our ship to rob you!"
"Of course, I still want to now."
The boat captain made no attempt to conceal his sinful and lustful thoughts, staring at Qian Renxue like a mad dog, "Rob her!"
The group of underlings were also very excited; they were about to close the deal and make another success.
It was at this moment that Qian Renxue suddenly looked at Xiao Yan.
Those eyes no longer displayed the chilling coldness that seemed to plunge into the abyss.
"Actually, I should have killed you several hours ago, but considering that you might actually have traces of the Qilin Ancient Emperor's enlightenment, I spared you for a while, even at the risk of offending my wife."
An oppressive force, like a meteorite falling, erupted, causing the surface of the planet in this area to tremble violently.
Xiao Yan was engulfed in flames, resembling a god.
"Now you all deserve to die."
