"These are the Hollow Bright Beasts?!"
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes. Below him, numerous crystal-like monsters appeared. Their bodies were sparkling and translucent, exuding a strong spatial aura. They had sharp claws, fangs, horns, scales, and many other things. They looked like lions.
Their bodies' defenses were extremely strong. It seemed like ordinary powers wouldn't be able to break through their scales. Every scale seemed to have profound spatial runes that were unfathomable.
Ordinary cultivators probably wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on them even if they went all out. Often, after punching the Hollow Bright Beasts, the ferocious beasts would attack with their claws and tear their bodies apart.
Back then, Ma Gubo and the others had been beaten into a sorry state like this. They weren't a match for them at all.
However, even though these Hollow Bright Beasts were very ferocious, the battleships weren't simple either. Beams of laser cannons blasted out with terrifying might. They easily penetrated the bodies of these Hollow Bright Beasts, leaving behind a ground full of corpses.
Moreover, these battleships gave off powerful auras. It seemed like there were many Returning Nature Realm and Transcendence Realm cultivators in them. There were even auras of Lightning Tribulation Realm powerhouses.
After a short while, the tens of thousands of Hollow Bright Beasts below the plains were all killed.
"What's going on?"
Xia Ping asked Ma Gubo.
"Daoist Xia, maybe the Yuanming Sect's elders are here. When we were being chased by the Hollow Bright Beasts, I already spread the news that I found a large number of spatial stones. They probably received the news and rushed over quickly to seal off this area."
Ma Gubo voiced out his thoughts.
This was because any sect that received this news would send people over in a frenzy, hoping to monopolize the treasures. No one would complain about having too many treasures on them.
Moreover, spatial stones were extremely precious resources. Many treasures required spatial stones. In fact, cultivating some spatial divine arts also required the assistance of spatial stones.
"No, that's not right. From the symbols on these battleships, the Yuanming Sect isn't the only faction."
Xia Ping narrowed his eyes.
"Then, the news has been leaked. Other factions have also received this news and want to get a share of the loot. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about the Yuanming Sect's secrecy system. They're like a sieve and can't keep anything secret. "
Ma Gubo said with certainty. He was very familiar with the Yuanming Sect's situation.
This sect was like a bandit's lair, with good and bad people mixed in. It was very free, but this also meant that the discipline was not very strict. Many factions would send their own people into the Yuanming Sect to gather information.
"Wait, I seem to recognize these sect symbols."
Xia Ping looked at the symbols of the battleships in the distance and recognized them at once. There were familiar ones like Xuantian Sect and Juntian Sect, as well as unfamiliar ones like Yuanming Sect, Guyue Sect, and Tianjian Sect.
These were basically all Saint-level sects of the Northern Cosmos. They cooperated with each other and were of the same branch.
"Interesting."
Xia Ping touched his chin, and his eyes revealed a glimmer of light. He decided not to act rashly and alert the enemy for the time being. Instead, he would sneak into these forces to gather information before making any further plans.
After all, according to Ma Gubo, this pocket dimension was not as simple as it seemed. There were a large number of wild beasts living inside. If they wanted to obtain the Space Stone, they would have to deal with these wild beasts.
Perhaps he still had a chance to borrow the strength of these forces to kill the group of beasts, allowing him to reap the benefits.
Whoosh!
Xia Ping put away the Multitude Star and left the flying ship. With a flash, he used the Formless Mask and turned into a wisp of green smoke, swiftly approaching the Yuanming Sect and the other factions.
…
At this moment, a large number of Yuanming Sect elders were gathered on one of the Yuanming Sect's battleships. They were all at least at the Transcendence Realm.
It could be said that apart from the elders who were guarding the sect, cultivating in seclusion, and traveling outside, basically all the elders who could be mobilized were present. The Yuanming Sect could be said to have sent out all their elites.
"As expected, this pocket dimension is emitting dense spatial energy and there are a large number of Hollow Beasts. There must be a large number of Space Stones inside. It seems like the information that Elder Ma Gubo sent back is true."
The one who spoke was Yuanming Sect's Grand Elder Liu Wen, a mid-stage Lightning Tribulation Almighty. He stroked his white beard and looked at the Hollow Beast corpse on the ground, feeling extremely satisfied.
"What a foolish Hollow Beast. They are indeed beasts. They can't tell who the real enemy is and actually dared to come forward to die. In the end, we easily slaughtered them all."
"These Hollow Beasts feed on Space Stones and are space-type creatures themselves. Every part of their bodies is extremely precious and is very suitable to be used as materials to refine spatial treasures."
"Plunder! Plunder all these Hollow Beast corpse beasts. Don't leave anything behind. These are all treasures."
Many Yuanming Sect elders revealed greedy looks. All of them had the personality of bandits, the type that would plunder anything they could get their hands on. They wanted nothing more than to take these Hollow Beast corpse beasts for themselves and plunder all the treasures they could see.
"Haha, I'm really grateful for Elder Ma Gubo's information. If not for him, how could we have found this pocket dimension and made such a fortune? It's a pity that he was chased by many Hollow Beasts and was unlucky enough to encounter a spatial storm. Now, there's nothing left of him. Otherwise, if he were still alive, I would definitely thank him properly."
One of the Yuanming Sect elders let out a long sigh.
When many elders heard this, they scoffed. They could tell that these words were hypocritical. This was because this elder did not seem sad at all. Instead, he was gloating.
And with one less elder sharing the treasures with them, they did not know how much more benefits they would gain.
"Alright, they're all dead, so there's no need to say anything else. However, which bastard leaked the news of this pocket dimension? To think that the Ancient Moon Sect, Heaven Reflection Sect, Xuantian Sect, and Great Sky Sect would also receive the news and send people over to share the loot with us. How preposterous! Who knows how many benefits we're missing out on? "
Grand Elder Liu Wen clenched his teeth with an ugly expression. He looked at the many Yuanming Sect elders with an unfriendly expression. He believed that the news must have been leaked by these elders.
However, he could not find out what exactly it was.
If no spy had leaked the news, their Yuanming Sect would have been able to monopolize the loot. How could the other factions have a chance?
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
"Grand Elder, there's no point in saying all this. We should hurry up and find a Spatial Stone vein and start excavating."
An elder suggested, "We don't know how long this pocket dimension's spatial passageway can last. If we wait until this spatial passageway collapses and we don't get out, we'll probably be trapped in this world forever.
We should take this opportunity to dig as many Spatial Stones as we can. There's no point in grumbling. Let's not waste time. "
