Chapter 2266: The Beimian Great Migration
Yang Jian said with righteous indignation: (￢_￢) "You say humans don't abide by the agreement? Let me ask you, where exactly did we not abide by it?"
"Back then, it was you who wanted to arrest Jiangnan and throw him in prison. You failed to keep an eye on him and let him escape. Isn't that the dereliction of duty of Ming He Death Prison?"
"You allowed yourselves to catch him, but you won't allow him to escape? Indeed, Jiangnan's prison break was wrong in the first place, but setting aside the facts, don't you, the Sacred Law Council and Ming He Death Prison, bear any fault at all?"
"If you don't have the diamond drill, don't take on the porcelain work!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Sacred Law Council members who came to hold him accountable turned green. "Setting aside the facts," huh?
Jiangnan escapes prison, and it's our fault?
Nightingale snickered from the side. That's right, Brother Jian started being unreasonable because there was no reason to argue, so he just played dirty!
He turns black into white!
On the matter of Jiangnan's prison break, humans indeed weren't in the right. So what? He escaped! What are you gonna do about it? Bite me?
Tiffany ground her teeth. That punch nearly killed me, didn't it?
Miu Ke squinted: (〃¤_¤) "Good! Very well! In that case, you have no objections to humans being stripped of their Star Domain Sequence qualification, right?"
Yang Jian said calmly: (͡°ก͡°) "Since the Sacred Law Council insists on doing this, then humans indeed have nothing more to say!"
"However, I think that three minutes after you make this decision, all dimensional star navigation across the entire starry sky will cease operations!"
"At the same time, the dimensional war will also end at the same time. Since humans are no longer part of the Star Domain Sequence, I see no need to continue benefiting the starry sky. What do you think?"
Tiffany's chest burned with anger. This trick again!
Damn it, I knew it. Over these past few months, humans have already cooked the rice—it's impossible to kick them out now!
Once the dimensional war ends and the supply of dimensional pearls is cut off, both the Bose Star Navigation and the Silicon Speed Star Navigation will have to stop operations!
Let alone running them; even the spatial spirit pearls produced in the spirit ruins are barely enough to support their own race's star navigation!
If dimensional star navigation goes offline, the Thousand Stars Era might regress into the Starry Sky Island Era!
That's why substitutes for dimensional pearls are urgently needed; otherwise, humans will always have them by the throat!
Wen Ge coughed twice and his expression turned serious:
(｡ಡกಡ) "I think the matter of Jiangnan's prison break is entirely his personal act. There's no need to drag the human race into it, right?"
"Abruptly expelling humans from the sequence—isn't that a bit too much?"
The Gamma Clan representative spoke: "During this time, everyone has seen humans' contributions to the construction of the starry sky. If dimensional star navigation goes offline, that would be such a pity!"
"Don't you all agree?"
The Stardust Clan representative also chimed in: "As the saying goes, 'Vengeance has its head, debt has its owner.' Jiangnan's prison break is Jiangnan's problem. Go settle accounts with Jiangnan. Expelling humans from the sequence? I think we should forget it!"
"This is for the good of the starry sky, and even more so for the continuous operation of your two star navigation companies. Don't go too far!"
For a moment, representatives from various clans spoke up in agreement!
Tiffany's face was as dark as water. A bunch of troublemakers. Of course you'd say that since you get to benefit from dimensional star navigation!
She knew in her heart that just the dominance over the dimensional war and the dimensional star navigation network spread across the entire starry sky made it impossible to kick humans out of the sequence!
Coming today, that wasn't what she wanted!
(❈･ˇ-ˇ･) "Fine! The Sacred Law Council is not the Sacred Law Council of a single race; it belongs to everyone. Since everyone says so, let's drop this matter for now!"
"But as someone said, 'Vengeance has its head, debt has its owner.' Jiangnan escaped prison, violated the starry sky's laws, and is guilty of heinous crimes. The Sacred Law Council will go to capture him. If he resists, he will be killed on the spot. Isn't that fair and reasonable?"
"If the human side provides any help or support to him, that would be equivalent to harboring a criminal, and they would share the same crime. During the enforcement process of the Decree Troops, killing those who help Jiangnan is also reasonable, right?"
"Don't come crying to the Sacred Law Council then!"
Yang Jian sneered. Surrounding him, trying to put Jiangnan in an isolated and helpless position?
Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, the initiative in this matter still lies in human hands!
Even if Jiangnan walks openly under the starry sky in the future, carrying the identity of a heinous criminal, you won't be able to do anything about him!
Just wait and see!
╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Of course! That's only right. If you can do it!"
Tiffany snorted coldly: "You said it! Just wait. Don't get handsy, or the Sacred Law Council will show no mercy!"
With that, she led her people away. What she wanted was simply to prevent humans from easily interfering!
As for Jiangnan, Danding was already handling the situation on his side!
Nightingale said worriedly:
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Brother Jian? Are we really not sending people to support Nan Shen? The Sacred Law Council is playing for real!"
Yang Jian was full of confidence:
(￢◡￢) "Don't panic! Even if you scraped together all the cunning from that group, it wouldn't be enough to stir-fry a dish. They can't outplay Jiangnan!"
"That kid has set up a grand scheme in the starry sky. Just sit back and watch the show. Everything is just beginning!"
"In this starry sky, worry about anyone except Jiangnan. It's a wasted effort!"
Clearly, Jiangnan had already communicated with Yang Jian through Ai Jiang beforehand. That batch of slave seeds had also been received, and they were now in the process of establishing the Star Cluster Zone!
Nightingale's mouth twitched. Was Brother Jian this at ease?
But then she thought back to the scene when Jiangnan's black hole devoured a star, and she shuddered violently!
Yeah? Why worry about him? Let Nan Shen go wild out there. The starry sky is his stage!
...
In the Hilde Guild Hall on Wanxiang Star, it was still bustling with countless bounty hunters coming and going, the atmosphere lively!
Suddenly, a gasp echoed through the hall. Everyone stared in shock at the screen in the center of the hall!
The Starry Sky Wanted List had been updated!
If it were an ordinary update, it wouldn't have caused such an uproar. But the top spot, after more than three thousand years, had been updated!
Jiangnan's name directly appeared at the top, blazing red!
Starry Sky Wanted List!
First:
Name: Jiangnan! Interstellar Code Name: Nan Shen / Jiang Devil!
Race: Human!
[Video]
Person Information: Caused the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, blew up Thousand Stars City into ruins, slaughtered hundreds of trillions of beings! Sentenced to 300 years in Ming He Death Prison! Has now escaped!
Appeared at Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang! Bombed the Chongbishi Central Insect Nest, at large and exceptionally arrogant!

Bounty Amount: +∞! (Funded by Sacred Law Council)
Anyone who provides information will receive a bounty based on the importance and authenticity of the information, starting at a minimum of one million star source points!
Second:
Name: Jiang Fan...
...
As soon as the Starry Sky Wanted List was updated, the Hilde Guild Hall exploded!
The updated content was extremely detailed, even including the video provided by Chongbishi!
Although his appearance was a bit different—he now had a buzz cut—the wild and unrestrained smile on his face was definitely Jiangnan!
(☍口⁰。) "Holy crap! Jiangnan escaped? The devil crawled out of hell? How is that possible? Even Ming He Death Prison couldn't hold him? This is a catastrophe!"
(〒益〒;) "Damn! It's only been a few days since we sent him off? How did he escape? Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang? Sigh—I have relatives over there! Oh no, oh no!"
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "My heavens! A +∞ bounty? The Sacred Law Council is going all out? The first is human, and the second is also freaking human? Two +∞?"
"We've only had a few months of peace, and the starry sky is going to be chaotic again? The bounty is tempting, but during the Thousand Stars Catastrophe, so many star-swallowers were present, and Jiang Devil didn't die. Who can take him down?"
As soon as the news of the escape broke, it immediately pushed Jiang Fan off the top spot he had held for over three thousand years, and Jiangnan took the throne!
The second criminal in history to have a +∞ bounty was born!
Yoululu's jaw dropped to the floor, her face full of terror. That guy was back?
Lingyin, who had just taken on a funeral performance mission, plopped down on the ground, her pretty face pale as snow.
(♫꒦ິ﹏꒦ີ) "It's over! Is this fairy's life over? How did he get out?"
Back when the farewell ceremony was held, she had even rapped, singing "180 Light Years Farewell"!
If Jiang Devil came back, wouldn't he scatter her ashes?
But then a hearty laugh rang out from the crowd!
(｡･ˇꇴˇ･｡) "Hahaha! Nan Shen is awesome!"
Everyone's gaze focused on the figure who laughed!
It was Baldr, dressed in a black hooded robe, two Unverse Crystal Source daggers at his waist!
The two large blood-red characters "Celestial" on his back were strikingly prominent, giving him an assassin's creed look!
The legendary bounty hunter badge on his chest gleamed!
(ﾉ)´-﹏-`) "Sigh—Celestial Baldr! The freak who went from a rookie greenhorn to a legendary bounty hunter in a month! They say there's no one below half-step star-swallower that he can't assassinate in the starry sky! He's already taken out countless planet destroyers!"
Baldr squinted:
(￢_￢) "What are you looking at? Want to die?"
Everyone shrank their necks, and the entire hall fell silent!
Then Baldr teleported away, leaving only his cold voice echoing in the air!
"I'd like to see who dares to earn that money! I'll make sure you have the life to earn it but not to spend it!"
It wasn't just the Hilde Guild that had issued the wanted notice!
The official Sacred Law Council, representing the top ten sequences, also issued an announcement on the Star Network!
Sacred Law Council: Human Jiangnan has escaped from Ming He Death Prison. He has appeared at Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang. The Sacred Law Council will go all out to capture Jiangnan and bring him to justice!
Anyone who helps him evade pursuit will be treated as an accomplice and executed on the spot!
Anyone who provides information or assistance will receive a minimum of one million star source points!
Note: This person is extremely dangerous. If discovered, report to the Sacred Law Council immediately. Do not approach. Otherwise, the consequences will be borne by yourself!
[Video]
As soon as the news was released, it caused a huge uproar on the Star Network. The entire starry sky exploded. The message was forwarded countless times!
Relatives and friends were informed; everyone knew!
Comments scrolled so fast they left afterimages. It was only thanks to Silicon-based servers that they didn't crash!
The whole starry sky was discussing Jiangnan's prison break!
"Damn it! How did Jiang Devil escape? The Sacred Law Council can't even handle this? Aren't they endangering the lives of everyone in the starry sky?"
"Approach? Who dares to provoke this baleful star? What if he causes a second Thousand Stars Catastrophe? Even Ming He Death Prison couldn't hold him? This is ridiculous!"
"Looks like Beimian Star is doomed! There are only a few famous star cities in the entire starry sky. Is Jiang Devil going to sweep the whole map?"
The discussion continued, and the incident kept fermenting. Naturally, the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang side also received the news of Jiangnan's escape. Now things were completely stirred up!
Everyone was on tenterhooks!
Not long after the news spread, tens of millions of starships began to depart from Beimian Star Capital!
They didn't even bother with dimensional star navigation—it was too slow. Afraid that if they delayed any longer, their lives would be lost, they preferred to spend more money to flee!
Everyone united to pass through the Wuxian Gate and leave! They weren't staying here anymore!
Passenger starships were in short supply, but that didn't stop the residents of Beimian Star Capital from their determination to escape!
Dragging their families and carrying large bags, they embarked on the migration path!
(•́ω•̀٥) "Wow? You're leaving too? What about the mining machinery business?"
(´-ι_-｀) "No shit! Stay here and wait to die? I don't think Beimian Star Capital is any safer this time. What if it blows up again? If you lose your life, what's the point of doing business? You're leaving too?"
"Yeah, it's too dangerous here. Our whole family is going to hide at my second aunt's place. Wait until the storm passes and things settle down before coming back!"
Those moving their entire households were everywhere. This directly caused the Great Migration of Beimian Star Capital!
Such a large migration had only happened a few times in history. The last time was due to the Beimian War...
And this time, it was all because a certain guy had escaped prison and showed his face at Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang...
The housing prices in Beimian Star Capital plummeted to bargain-bin levels!
And the culprit, Jiangnan, had no self-awareness at all!
The news didn't just reach Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang; it also spread to the Red Sun Star Domain...
