Gu Qijue didn't refuse Shen Youwei's company, as he thought it was unlikely they would find anything here.

This area, over the long years, must have been explored by countless people.

Along the way, there were many signs of deep explorations everywhere.

Even if there were good things here initially, others must have already acquired them.

Facts proved that Gu Qijue's judgment was correct.

He took Shen Youwei around this place, and they found nothing.

Not only did he not sense any special treasures, but even the Infinite Engine detected nothing here.

The valuable items here had clearly been taken away long ago.

Knowing there was nothing here, Gu Qijue decisively said to Shen Youwei:

"Let's go, and check out other places."

Shen Youwei nodded but still asked, "Aren't we going to explore a bit more?"

Gu Qijue casually said, "No need, let's just go to another place."

Shen Youwei, of course, didn't know how he made such a judgment.

However, she also felt that Gu Qijue's judgment was accurate.

Many others, though, did not think so and stubbornly stayed, hoping to find something.

But they were destined to be disappointed, as indeed there was nothing here.

Shen Youwei was evidently quite familiar with ancient ruins.

She even knew a small path from the first area to the second area.

Walking next to Gu Qijue, Shen Youwei curiously asked, "Are there treasures here?"

After she asked, Gu Qijue's expression turned weird.

"There are no treasures here, but there are some Star Thieves hiding. We seem to have a problem."

Upon hearing this, Shen Youwei burst into laughter.

"Don't be ridiculous, how could there be Star Thieves here..."

She couldn't continue her sentence.

She had already seen a group of hostile-looking people, all holding weapons.

With just a glance, Shen Youwei pulled Gu Qijue back slowly.

Simultaneously, she whispered, "Let's not meddle, they're not after us."

Shen Youwei made this judgment because these Star Thieves had captured a rather disheveled silver-haired youth.

This silver-haired youth looked human, but his hair and eyes were silver.

Though they resembled humans, they were known as the Silver-eyed Race.

The Silver-eyed Race are naturally craftsmen, skilled at producing and manufacturing various artifacts.

However, due to their limited potential, progressing to the Divine Tier and Super Divine Tier is extremely difficult.

Advancing further to become an F-Class Cosmic Powerhouse is even more daunting.

Therefore, these craftsmen of the Silver-eyed Race have been enslaved by other great races and forces.

Catching one Silver-eyed Race member could lead to uncovering more of them.

Each member of the Silver-eyed Race can fetch a high price.

In the interstellar era, the Silver-eyed Race is akin to the black slaves of the Age of Exploration.

The difference is that the Silver-eyed Race can do more and is more valuable.

Gu Qijue was very interested in the Silver-eyed Race.

However, he didn't intend to act now, as doing so would drag Shen Youwei and the others into trouble.

He followed Shen Youwei and exited the area, returning to the starship.

Back on the starship, Shen Youwei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Those people were the Iron Eagle Star Thieves. Good thing they weren't after us."

Gu Qijue heard this, smiled, and said nothing more.

Shen Youwei continued, "You rest here first, I'll go inform the others to avoid conflicts with the Iron Eagle Star Thieves and stay away from those guys."

Gu Qijue smiled and said, "Alright, go ahead."

Shen Youwei certainly didn't know what Gu Qijue intended to do.

After having Gu Qijue stay and rest, she went to notify everyone to withdraw from the area where the Iron Eagle Star Thieves were active.

Once Shen Youwei left, Gu Qijue's figure disappeared.

The construction of the Outpost Star and Outpost One Satellite now required a vast amount of talent.

For the future rapid development of the Infinite Empire, special talents like the Silver-eyed Race craftsmen are not to be missed.

So Gu Qijue left Shen Youwei and the others' starship and followed the Iron Eagle Star Thieves.

He tailed them all the way to a place by a desert plateau.

There were three starships of the Iron Eagle Star Thieves here.

Gu Qijue didn't know the level of the Iron Eagle Star Thieves in the Cosmic Star Sea.

In fact, the Iron Eagle Star Thieves were nothing more than small-time crooks in the Cosmic Star Sea.

He was even bold enough to casually kill the infamous Shadow Emperor's subordinates.

The Iron Eagle Star Thieves were certainly nothing to him.

The leader of the Iron Eagle Star Thieves was known as Iron Eagle.

In fact, every leader of the Iron Eagle Star Thieves was named Iron Eagle.

This effectively muddled the external perception of what sort of person Iron Eagle was.

But Iron Eagle's luck seemed poor.

Encountering Gu Qijue in this place meant this Iron Eagle was doomed to become a dead eagle.

In front of one starship, Iron Eagle was swaggeringly smoking a cigar.

The third-in-command of the Iron Eagle Star Thieves brought the young member of the Silver-eyed Race over and spoke with a flattering tone.

"Big brother, I caught that kid!"

"With me personally going, he couldn't escape!"

The third-in-command looked extraordinarily pleased with himself.

"Slap!"

However, before he could revel for long, Iron Eagle raised his hand and gave him a resounding slap.

The third-in-command initially thought the leader would praise him a bit.

To his surprise, not only did he not get praise, but he also received a slap.

"Are you a pig? How many times have I told you to be cautious when handling matters!"

"You brought a tail back, and you didn't even notice!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned around.

They saw a middle-aged man with a handsome face and tall stature at the back.

This middle-aged man was, of course, Gu Qijue in disguise.

The third-in-command felt a surge of anger upon seeing Gu Qijue.

Though he didn't realize when Gu Qijue started trailing them,

He knew exactly how to make amends for his mistake.

Without a moment's hesitation, he waved his hand and ordered, "Chop him to pieces and feed him to the dogs."

As soon as his words fell, a dozen or so Divine-tier Star Thieves transformed into streaks of light, charging at Gu Qijue.

A dagger, brimming with electric light, appeared in Gu Qijue's hand.

Moving like he was plucking leaves or picking flowers, he leisurely walked among them and then stood opposite Iron Eagle and his men.

When he appeared there, those who had attacked him before fell from the sky like dumplings.

Clearly, Gu Qijue had nonchalantly slain over a dozen Divine-tier Star Thieves as he strolled through them.

The third-in-command and Iron Eagle's men became highly alert in an instant.

Even if they were foolish, they realized they had hit a hard wall this time!
