The moment the battleship, which had lost all its power, broke out of the atmosphere and crashed toward the mountain on the ground, Gongsun Hou, the Grand Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect, who had been pursuing the battleship with all his might, narrowed his eyes.
Due to the uniqueness of the Divine Eye planet's atmosphere, he had only been able to lock onto the battleship's general position. However, the moment the battleship broke out of the atmosphere, he was able to lock onto the battleship's position. Without any hesitation, Gongsun Hou dashed out of the atmosphere, teleported, and disappeared.
When he appeared, the scene that entered his eyes was that of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect's battleship smashing into the ground. There were also sharp whistling sounds that spread out in all directions like a storm.
"Oh no!"
Gongsun Hou's expression changed drastically. He didn't have time to think. He unleashed all his cultivation and rushed toward the battleship to rescue it!
In fact, even though the Thousand Spirit Sect was much wealthier than the Holy Crest Sect, they only had three battleships that could travel to outer space. If they were destroyed, the losses would be too great.
Therefore, Gongsun Hou's speed was at its peak. In an instant, he appeared in front of the battleship that was crashing toward the ground. He raised his hands and pressed them against the front of the battleship, trying to use his cultivation to reduce the inertia of the battleship's fall.
There was a sudden roar at that moment. Gongsun Hou's face was pale, and the blood vessels in his arms bulged. Even his face was the same. He unleashed all his cultivation as he retreated. When he landed on the ground, he stomped his feet. The earth rumbled and cracks spread rapidly. After covering an area of ten thousand feet, the ground in the area immediately collapsed and dispersed the pressure on Gongsun Hou.
Gongsun Hou roared, and the pressure was dispersed. Thanks to the incredible power of his cultivation base, the battleship, which had been on the verge of going out of control, was finally brought under control. Gongsun Hou slowly brought it to a stop off to the side. Panting, he sent his divine sense out to investigate. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still so angry that he began to tremble.
The interior of the battleship was a mess. It was obvious that a large number of parts were missing. Many places were empty, and the missing parts were the most valuable ones … Even the scraps had been gnawed. All of this made Gongsun Hou's heart ache to the extreme.
When he thought about how he had led his sect to wipe out many civilizations and slaughtered a large number of people, and how he had only managed to accumulate three battleships after so many years of hard work … he had lost so many battleships in one fell swoop. But now … he had lost so many battleships in one fell swoop that he found it difficult to breathe. That was especially true when … he knew that he had also lost a considerable amount of Star Illusory Stones. The pain in his heart felt like it was being torn apart, and Gongsun Hou's cultivation base began to churn uncontrollably. He looked up with a ferocious expression and let out a furious roar.
"I don't care who you are. The Myriad Spirit Sect will find you and grind your bones to dust! We will destroy your body and soul!"
This voice spread in all directions and even reverberated within the atmosphere for a certain range. Naturally, it also fell into the ears of Wang Baole, who had not completely left yet.
"Only you are allowed to rob other civilizations, and others are not allowed to rob you?" Wang Baole's eyes widened, and he stopped in his tracks. He wondered if he should go back and let the other party know that he could not speak to his father in such a manner. However, he thought that this would cause too much of a stir, and it would be inconvenient for him to continue robbing. Therefore, he snorted a few times and ignored the other party. With a flash of his body, he headed straight for the Holy Crest Sect.
After returning to the Holy Crest Sect, he quietly entered the forbidden space and returned to his own secret room. After sitting down, he began to organize his gains. As he organized them, Wang Baole's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
"Indeed, a horse won't grow fat if it doesn't feed at night. This robbery is comparable to the Holy Crest Sect's gains from the auction!"
In his excitement, Wang Baole began to build his own battleship. As he had enough resources in a short period of time, Wang Baole immersed himself in the refinement of the battleship's components in the following days. He did not pay much attention to the outside world.
It wasn't that he didn't care about the aftermath of his robbery, but that Wang Baole knew his limits. He felt that even though he wasn't very good at robbing, he was very clear that to a sect, being robbed and being killed were two different things. The former was only a loss of wealth. Even though it was painful, it was more of a loss of face. The latter, on the other hand, was akin to declaring war.
This was especially true in the eyes of outsiders. The degree of viciousness was completely different. For example, if a neighbor knew that their valuables had been stolen by a thief, they would instinctively be on guard. However, if someone in the neighbor's house was killed, then they would not just be on guard.
In fact, the subsequent changes were just as Wang Baole had predicted. The robbery of the Thousand Spirit Sect's battleship was difficult to hide. In addition, the Thousand Spirit Sect had many enemies, so it quickly became a headline on the Divine Eye main planet and spread rapidly.
All of a sudden, all the sects, big and small, were talking about it. The Holy Crest Sect, where Wang Baole was from, was also mostly talking about it. Even though there was some caution in their words, most of them were gloating over their misfortune.
"Have you heard? The Thousand Spirit Sect's battleship was robbed. It's said that not only did they lose all their gains, but the battleship was also dismantled!"
"This kind of thing hasn't happened for many years …"
"The Thousand Spirit Sect has always been arrogant. I didn't expect them to have such a day. Haha, I did some digging. It's said that they just destroyed a small civilization and obtained a huge amount of Star Illusory Stones, but they ended up benefiting others!"
Although Wang Baole was immersed in the refinement of the battleship, he could still occasionally hear the discussions among the disciples when he went out to oversee the repair of the Holy Crest Sect's battleship. However, when Wang Baole heard them, he frowned.
"The Thousand Spirit Sect is also a sect on the fifth ring. Although we can't help them when they've been robbed, remember to only talk about this within the sect. Don't talk about it when you're outside … At the same time, we have to be vigilant. We can't follow in the footsteps of the Thousand Spirit Sect!"
Wang Baole's serious expression and stern words made the disciples who were discussing the matter tremble. They quickly lowered their heads and agreed. At the same time, his words were approved by the Holy Crest Sect's Grand Supreme Elder. He even gathered the seven elders to discuss the matter.
"Grand Supreme Elder, I suggest that we ask the Thousand Spirit Sect if they need help in the search, whether it's for show or if we really want to help, to prevent similar things from happening in the future." During the meeting called by the Grand Supreme Elder, Wang Baole coughed and spoke seriously, as if he was really thinking for the Holy Crest Sect.
The Holy Crest Sect's Grand Supreme Elder smiled and waved his hand in response to Wang Baole's suggestion.
"I've already asked Brother Gongsun of the Thousand Spirit Sect about this matter. However, Gongsun Hou is suspicious of everyone now, so he rejected my good intentions."
"No wonder the Ten Thousand Spirit Sect reacted this way. It's really embarrassing … As space pirates, it's their job to plunder and rob. Who would've thought that they would be robbed by someone else?" another elder said with a smile.
Wang Baole nodded and analyzed the matter seriously. "This matter was most likely caused by an internal leak within the Thousand Spirit Sect. Otherwise, why would their battleship, which had the Star Illusory Stone, be robbed when so many battleships were returned?"
His analysis was actually one of the main guesses of the various sects on the Divine Eye main planet. After all, it had been a long time since anyone had stolen a battleship from the main planet. Moreover, it was too accurate. It was as if the perpetrator had known beforehand which battleship was the most valuable.
At the same time, the mockery of the Thousand Spirit Sect that the pirates had been robbed became a laughing stock under the influence of several rival sects of the Thousand Spirit Sect, especially a sect called the Water Refinement Sect.
Therefore, in the following days, the Thousand Spirit Sect was the most depressed sect on the Divine Eye main planet. Not only had they lost their resources, but their battleship had also been stolen. At the same time, the Water Refinement Sect and other sects in the outside world had also mocked and ridiculed them. However, no matter how much they investigated, they couldn't find any clues. In a fit of anger, Gongsun Hou even launched a strict internal investigation, but to no avail …
Just like that, Gongsun Hou was helpless. He suspected the Water Refinement Sect, but he had no evidence. He planned to secretly gather evidence, and the matter gradually became unsettled. One night, a month later, Wang Baole, who was sitting cross-legged in a secret chamber, raised his head. His eyes shone brightly as he licked his lips.
