Chapter 623: Who Robs Who?

After using the physical puppet, Ye Feng not only saw a significant boost in his strength but also became much faster than before. With his current cultivation level at the Star Sea stage, his space teleportation skills were already on par with those of peak Star Universe level warriors. Now, with the physical puppet, the power of all his abilities, including space teleportation, had increased greatly. He could now easily match Yu Hong’s fastest teleportation speed.

The two of them had been in that territory for three days, and so far, everything had been peaceful. Ye Feng still had doubts—perhaps they were the only ones who hadn’t been noticed, which was why no one had tried to stop them. As he pondered this, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him and Yu Hong, blocking their path.

“Robbery!” a loud shout reached Ye Feng and Yu Hong’s ears.

“Finally,” Ye Feng thought to himself, while Yu Hong glanced at him, clearly waiting to see how Ye Feng would handle the situation.

“You’re not bad at shouting. Don’t forget—we’re bullies. Be ruthless. Just stand aside and watch me do it,” said a man with a horse-like face, ignoring Ye Feng and the others completely as he scolded another short, burly man with a massive beard. As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and said to Ye Feng and the others, “We’re under Lord Ba’s command. You’re now in Lord Ba’s territory. Hand over your storage rings and strip naked.”

“Why do we have to strip naked? Aren’t only women forced to do that?” the bearded man asked in a low voice.

“Idiot! Who knows what else they might be hiding? And storage rings don’t have to be worn on the hand,” the man with the horse-like face retorted. Then he turned to look at the two of them again. Seeing that they weren’t moving, he snapped, “Strip naked! Not even underwear is allowed!”

“That’s too harsh. At least leave them some underwear…” The bearded man looked at the two with sympathy.

“If I say no, there’s no ‘at least’,” the man with the horse-like face snapped.

“Lord Ba?” Ye Feng turned to look at Yu Hong.

“Ba is the boss of this area. He has gathered many low-level scoundrels like these, all at the Star Universe stage, to help him rob people,” Yu Hong explained with a nod.

“Seems you know Lord Ba. Why not obey right away?” the man with the horse-like face threatened.

The bearded man tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “I think these two are stronger than us. We can’t beat them.”

“What’s the use of having strong skills?” the man with a horse-like face shouted. Clearly, after sizing up the two of them, he wasn’t very confident either. “In front of LordLord Bass, you’re still just trash—easy to kill with just one slap!”
“Actually, you two are also just trash in front of us…” As Ye Feng finished speaking, two spiraling bolts of lightning passed by their cheeks, making them break into cold sweats. Just moving an inch closer would mean their heads would be completely pierced.
“You can’t kill us! LordLord Bass will definitely get angry, and then you’ll regret it!” The man with a horse-like face looked at Ye Feng with a pale face.
Ye Feng smiled and said, “Hand over all the treasures you have!”
“Why does it feel like the roles have switched?” the bearded man muttered under his breath.
“You—don’t even get to keep your underwear!” Ye Feng pointed at the man with a horse-like face, then turned to the bearded man who had shown sympathy earlier. “You can keep one pair of underwear.”
“Oh, thank you!” The bearded man started taking off his clothes.
“What are you doing?” The man with a horse-like face slapped him on the head.
“Taking off my clothes! We’re being robbed—can’t you see?” The bearded man acted as if it were perfectly normal.
“Who told you to do that? Don’t forget, we’re the bullies!” the man with a horse-like face snapped.
“But we can’t beat them…” The bearded man didn’t know whom to listen to for a moment.
“It doesn’t matter who’s the bully; strength is what counts,” Ye Feng said coldly. “If you dare to rob others, you must be prepared to be robbed too. Don’t think LordLord Bass is invincible—he has people he can’t afford to anger!”
“Just hand over your stuff obediently, or you’ll get killed…” Yu Hong added his voice as well.
“We’re just two lowly scoundrels. What good things could we have? Everything we steal has to be handed in anyway.” Hearing the threat of being killed, the man with a horse-like face wore a flattering smile, fearing death. “If you really want to rob someone, you’ll have to go to LordLord Bass. His collection has almost everything—anything that exists in the star realm is within his reach.”
“Do you two know whereLord Bass is? Take us to him!” Ye Feng’s tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority. His words left the two robbers stunned, even Yu Hong was taken aback.
“What exactly are you planning?” Yu Hong asked in surprise.
“It’s a rare chance to be here, so of course I should pay a visit!” Ye Feng smiled. “You two, lead the way!”

Obviously, that man with a horse-like face was encountering such a situation for the first time. Ordinary people entering this area only wanted to leave quickly; no one wanted to stay long. But now, someone was actually willing to go and visit that ruthless Bas—it was simply unbelievable. Yet, judging by his appearance, it seemed he really had his eyes set on Bas.

“You want to take aim at Bas?” Yu Hong was almost jumping with anger. Normally, someone like Bas was better left alone, but now Ye Feng was actively seeking him out—he didn’t know what to say. But then he thought that perhaps from the start, Ye Feng had been in control of the situation. At that moment, a terrifying idea crossed Yu Hong’s mind, “Could it be you planned this from the beginning?”

“That’s right. This is called doing to others what they’ve done to you,” Ye Feng said with a nod and a smile. “Bas treats others this way every day, so we’ll punish him in the same way. If he robs others, we’ll rob him once too, so he can experience it himself. Once we return from the inner realm and have enough time, I plan to wipe out all the bullies in this chaotic star sea and steal everything from them! Surely, over the years, they must have accumulated a vast fortune!”

“I finally understand why you insisted on entering this area before,” Yu Hong said helplessly, shaking his head. “So you had it all planned from the start.”

“I made this decision only after learning about the existence of these people!” Ye Feng replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Feng’s plan to wipe out all the bullies, the man with a horse-like face was filled with shock. “What kind of person have I run into this time?”

“Lead the way, or die—choose!” Ye Feng said coldly, staring at the two of them.

“I choose to lead the way!” The two immediately made their choice.
