The hijacking of an upper sect's battleship had stirred up a storm. Even though Wang Baole had made some guesses, he wasn't a member of the Divine Eye civilization. Therefore, it was inevitable that he had underestimated the consequences.
In three days, the entire Divine Eye main planet was in an uproar. Although it would be an exaggeration to describe it as an uproar, it wasn't too far off. Led by six Soul Conduit realm cultivators from the Violet Gold New Dao Sect, the Violet Gold New Dao Sect began a frenzied search. Sects from the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Rings — sects that were usually cautious within their own civilization but were incomparably ferocious when they ventured out to invade other star systems — were swept clean one after another.
Regardless of whether there was a problem or not, the Violet Gold New Dao Sect barged in and searched their souls. At the same time, the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and the Earth Hexagram Harmony Sect agreed with the Violet Gold New Dao Sect on this matter. They cooperated with the Violet Gold New Dao Sect to protect their dignity as greater sects and prevent the Violet Gold New Dao Sect from slandering their subordinate sects!
The next day, the royal family even issued a decree condemning the culprits severely. It was also because of the royal family's words that the matter couldn't be suppressed within the main planet. Instead, it spread throughout all the planets in the civilization. In an instant, the entire Divine Eye civilization was in an uproar!
The various sects on the Divine Eye main planet were frantically searched. Wang Baole's Holy Crest Sect wasn't spared either. Soul Conduit realm cultivators from the Violet Gold New Dao Sect and the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect worked together to conduct a thorough search.
Even the battleship, which had been mostly repaired in the forbidden zone, was thoroughly searched. Even the storage bags of everyone on board weren't spared. Under such strict scrutiny, all the low-level cultivators were searched. As for Wang Baole and the other elders and Grand Supreme Elders, their souls weren't searched because of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's presence. Instead, they were tested with Soul Stones!
Although the latter wasn't as thorough as the former, unless one's cultivation level was much higher than the person in charge, the moment one lied, they would immediately be discovered. Although Wang Baole's actual cultivation level was only at the Great Circle of Yuanying, his Star Yuanying was already astonishing. Coupled with his Origin Law, he didn't make any mistakes during the Soul Stone test.
As for the search of the storage bag, it was the same. All the suspicious items had already been hidden by Wang Baole in his original body. Furthermore, the connection between him and his original body made it easy for him to send and take them out. In fact, even if his soul was really searched, Wang Baole was not worried. Unless a Spirit Immortal came personally, Wang Baole was confident that there would not be any problems.
Just like that, three days were about to pass, but there was still no clue about the incident and the search that had shaken the entire civilization. As the six experts in the Divinity Conduit realm grew more and more anxious, and when they were about to search the souls of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and the Divinity Conduit realm experts for the second time, a clue was found!
The Water Refinement Sect was suspected to have been involved in the robbery!
Soon after, the Thousand Spirit Sect was found to have been involved in a similar matter!
As such, the six Conduit realm experts of the Violet Gold New Dao Sect seemed to have grasped at straws. They madly rushed into the two sects. Under the violent search of the six Conduit realm experts, the two sects had no secrets left to hide. The two sects had joined forces, and the matter of them robbing the sects of the sixth ring's battleships was completely exposed.
After learning about the entire incident, the six Conduit realm experts fell silent. No one knew what they discussed in the end, but on the third day, a piece of news spread like wildfire. This piece of news pointed out that the two sects had been involved in a series of robberies. They had even crazily robbed the Violet Gold New Dao Sect's battleships!
At first, no one believed this. After all, robbing the Violet Gold New Dao Sect was not a big deal. Unless the Water Refinement Sect and the Thousand Spirit Sect had gone mad, the two sects had indeed been involved in several robberies. However, the evidence that was subsequently exposed all indicated that the two sects had indeed been involved in several robberies.
The various sects on the Divine Eye main planet fell silent for a moment. Then, all of them revealed their anger. Regardless of whether they were putting on an act or genuinely angry, they all denounced the two sects.
Even the royal family issued another decree that very day, confirming the truth of the matter. After a moment of silence, the Violet Gold New Dao Sect also announced the results, bringing an end to this shocking incident!
The two Sect Leaders of the Water Refinement Sect and the Thousand Spirit Sect had no right to speak or defend themselves. They were punished and treated as goods to be sold to the Violet Gold New Dao Sect as compensation. More than half of the sect's resources were also given to the Violet Gold New Dao Sect as compensation.
The remaining resources, as well as the buildings and land of the two sects, were also auctioned off as compensation for the sects that had been robbed. Only then did the matter come to an end. The situation in the fifth ring changed drastically.
Although the matter had come to an end, there were many people who understood the situation. Many of them could tell that the Water Refinement Sect and the Thousand Spirit Sect had been used as scapegoats. However, they couldn't blame others. After all, they had indeed been involved in several robberies.
However, the crux of the matter was the royal family …
If the royal family hadn't issued two decrees, the matter wouldn't have been resolved so easily. Vaguely, this incident revealed a simple game between the royal family and the three major sects!
However, even if the royal family hadn't intervened, Wang Baole still wouldn't have been afraid. He could simply transform into someone else and resolve the matter. He had even chosen his target, Wang Baole. At the same time, he had a final trump card. If worse came to worst, he could just return to the coffin. Given the coffin's level, even if a Planet realm cultivator came looking for him, Wang Baole wouldn't have to worry.
On the other hand, after the royal family intervened, although the situation had been resolved, it had actually become even more chaotic.
The three major sects sealed off the space around the Divine Eye main planet. All battleships that entered and exited were strictly searched. This was a warning to the royal family while searching for the real culprit.
"My head hurts …" Wang Baole sighed and retracted his gaze from the sky. He wasn't worried about the construction of his battleship now. After all, he had all the materials. He just had to secretly assemble it. However, the Divine Eye main planet was a little sensitive now. After much thought, Wang Baole decided not to assemble the battleship here. At the same time, he had a headache about how to leave this place.
"It won't be easy to leave without attracting attention." Wang Baole sighed. Regardless of whether it was his own observations or what the Holy Crest Sect Grand Supreme Elder had said, he knew that the three greater sects had sealed off the planet extremely tightly this time. Even the Violet Gold New Dao Sect had mobilized a Spirit Immortal!
This Spirit Immortal stood guard outside the Divine Eye main planet. Whether it was a blockade or a deterrent, Wang Baole wasn't confident that he could leave the Divine Eye main planet without attracting attention.
"Unless …" As he muttered to himself, Wang Baole's gaze landed on the Holy Crest Sect's battleship, which had been mostly repaired and was about to be completed. He fell into deep thought. Finally, his eyes flashed. In the following days, he temporarily put aside all thoughts of leaving and put all his efforts into repairing the battleship with the other elders.
Just like that, the days passed. Two months later … Although the blockade was still in place and hadn't been removed, the Holy Crest Sect's battleship was finally repaired after spending almost a year and an astonishing amount of resources!
On the second day after the battleship was repaired, the Grand Supreme Elder gathered Wang Baole and the others and made an announcement!
"Go back and make preparations. In seven days … the Holy Crest Sect will set off for an alien star system to obtain resources!" When he heard this, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. The other elders were also excited. The Holy Crest Sect had suffered too much in the past year. All the disciples had tightened their belts, and their eyes were almost green with envy. The sect's resources had been completely depleted, and they were all waiting to go out and plunder.
Therefore, not only did Wang Baole and the other elders agree to this order, but when the news spread, the entire sect was excited. Wang Baole was also excited. This was exactly what he had been waiting for!
According to his analysis, with the outside world sealed off and the deterrence of a Spirit Immortal, it would be very difficult for him to leave without anyone knowing. Unless he had a legitimate reason and method that wouldn't arouse suspicion, he could leave openly. However, there was no other method that could compare to a sect going out and plundering.
The reason why Wang Baole didn't choose other sects was that he felt that it was better to do less at this point in time. Especially with his familiarity with the Holy Crest Sect, it was obviously the safest way to leave with the help of the Holy Crest Sect.
"After leaving the range of that Spirit Immortal's divine sense, I can leave directly and find a place to assemble the battleship. Then … I can return to the Federation and become the president!" Seven days later, Wang Baole stepped onto the Holy Crest Sect's battleship with the other elders, Grand Supreme Elder, and a large number of sect disciples. He felt the rumbling of the battleship as it shot into the sky. He stood in the battleship and looked at the clouds outside through the front window. He was a little nervous, but he was extremely energetic!
"It's time to go home!"
