Underground.
Tang Yu walked into a spacious stone chamber with a height of more than 10 meters and an area of more than 500 square meters. But it was empty inside. Except for some scattered scratches on the ground, vaguely visible that it was a platform, there was nothing else.
They were all packed up and taken away.
But he was still a step too late.
"Was this originally the place where the space passage was built?"
Tang Yu guessed.
When it came to foreign races, the one he knew the most was the Skeleton Clan. Back then, in order to build the space channel, that clan had expended a lot of effort …
"The space passage and the crack of the abyss … at least it looks different. I didn't see any aliens emerging from the crack of the abyss. Could it be that the aliens and the demonic beasts are not on the same planet? Or they are in the same space?
There's also another possibility. The crack of the abyss can only accommodate demonic beasts, so the aliens need to build their own passage? But the passage should also have a limit, a limit on the number of people … No, it's more likely the strength. The more transcendents pass through, the more the space passage will shake. It's either rely on time to calm down, or … increase the level of the passage. "
Tang Yu held his chin, guessing various possibilities with his well-read knowledge.
"The Ghost Hand Clan's passage should only accommodate senior transcendents …"
He didn't know how long the aliens had existed. Tang Yu could only estimate as high as possible. The Skeleton Clan had a Rank-2 transcendent. Maybe the Ghost Hand Clan also had one, but they couldn't pass through for the time being.
The formation and materials used to build the passage had probably been taken away by the Ghost Hand Clan elites who stayed at the headquarters. After all, it took ten minutes from killing the transcendent to discovering the village.
The Ghost Hand Clan also had communication means.
It was just that it was in a hurry and not completely cleaned up. From the remaining clues, he could infer some information.
"With the materials, doesn't it mean the Ghost Hand Clan can soon rebuild the space passage and continuously transport troops to Earth?"
The hidden danger was a bit big.
The two Ghost Hand Clan transcendents who escaped must hate the Tree Shade the most. Once they sent more powerful and more transcendents, they were likely to attack the territory for revenge.
But there's nothing to regret.
If he didn't make a move this time, he would wait for the Cult of Destiny to grow stronger. Sooner or later, he would have to face more than just four transcendents.
And this time, the Soul Crystals harvested would at least allow the territory to produce two more Transcendents. When the Ghost Hand Clan came knocking, it would be hard to say who would have more Transcendents.
Tang Yu immediately calmed down.
At the very most … if he couldn't win, he could still run!
They searched a few of the more important stone chambers one after another. It was a mess. Many items were pushed to the ground. Obviously, the elites of the Ghost Hand Clan had only taken the most important items.
Some paper documents that could not be taken away were completely destroyed.
From this, it could be seen that they didn't have any spatial equipment, or that it wasn't big enough.
To put it simply, he was poor.
But not leaving any spoils of war was a little too much!
Fortunately, after searching for a while, he finally found something in a dense area.
The Mother-Child Communication Crystal Ball that he desired the most was found here.
One crystal ball (mother) and five crystal balls (children). There should be more than these in the set. More had already been distributed. Perhaps they could even use the crystal ball (mother) to contact those who had received the child balls.
In addition, there were some rune equipment, props, etc. What caught his attention was the dozen or so books on the bookshelf. The books were recorded in the Ghost Hand Clan's unique language. He couldn't understand it for the time being, but it didn't matter.
The rest of the spirit stones, materials, etc., Tang Yu didn't look at them and directly threw them into the space backpack. The important books and the Mother-Child Crystal Ball were placed in the space ring.
… …
There was a bloody smell in the underground passage, which made people frown.
Tang Yu followed the smell and came to a hall. The bloody smell became stronger, mixed with the stench of corpses.
What he saw made him frown.
In the center of the stone hall, there was a mountain of corpses. The top of the mountain was almost ten meters high. Blood flowed everywhere, and countless flies were buzzing around. Some broken skulls rolled down from the mountain of corpses. They were covered with maggots, and their eyes were wide open.
One could vaguely see that the young face was filled with fear and despair.
It was a blood sacrifice.
The orphans who were taken away by the cult.
Tang Yu clenched his fist. A sword qi swept across, cutting open several captive Ghost Hand Clan elites, but it wasn't fatal.
They groaned in pain.
… …
The Survey Corps, the Fiery Horse Cavalry Corps, Lindong, and the other four large shelters' coalition forces finally arrived outside the village.
Thousands of hunters launched a carpet search.
They arrived first and took the most valuable loot from the cult. Everyone knew it and had no opinion.
But the rest still had some value.
Tree Shade ate the meat, and they drank the soup.
Without Lindong, it wasn't easy to annihilate hundreds of thousands of advanced demonic beasts. Tang Yu wasn't stingy … provided they could find valuable items.
According to Sky's report, when the coalition forces moved here, they also encountered some fleeing Ghost Hand Clan clansmen. Some were killed, and some were captured. Among them, there was a Thirteenth Awakening powerhouse who was also easily captured by Yan Dingtian.
There should be no fish that escaped in the direction of the coalition forces.
But if they escaped in other directions … Tang Yu didn't expect the major shelter legions to intercept the Ghost Hand Clan elites. It would be good if they didn't get wiped out.
There must be many who successfully escaped from the Crescent Mountain. Whether or not they contacted the transcendents, these powerful Ghost Hand Clan members would bring trouble to Tiannan Province for a period of time in the future.
But this was a small matter.
They could issue a mission for the adventurers to solve. Maybe they could also make other shelters pay the commission fee.
What's the saying?
Use other people's fertilizer to water your own vegetables.
… …
On the other side of the Crescent Mountain Range.
The Ping Liang Shelter's legion self-destructed two precious treasures. Several top combat power and more than 20 peak Ninth Awakening experts died in battle. Even Ping Liang's leader, who had broken through to the Tenth Awakening, was heavily injured.
But they finally defeated two Fourth Era powerhouses. One dead and one injured. The injured middle-aged man finally escaped.
Ping Liang's legion suffered heavy damage, but they didn't evacuate. They still moved towards the depths of the Crescent Mountain.
"We lost a lot to kill the cult's top leaders. If we leave now, we won't have a share of the loot!" Ping Liang said, "Not only do we have to stay, but we also have to find the cult headquarters as soon as possible to make up for this loss."
"In any case, facing our eighteen armies, the cult headquarters' high-end combat power will definitely be out in full force … As long as we can be the first to find the cult headquarters, we'll be able to pocket the spoils of war. Even if the other shelters ask, we, Ping Liang, will also deal a heavy blow to the cult. We won't be in the wrong at all!"
They went deep into the Crescent Mountain to search.
Not long after, Ping Liang saw a small village in the distance.
It was definitely not normal.
That must be the cult headquarters!
He urged his horse and did not rush in directly. Instead, he lay on the high ground and observed for a while.
In the distant village, there were many figures. It seemed to be very lively.
"This cult has more members than I imagined. It's a little troublesome …"
Ping Liang murmured. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
The more he looked, the more he felt that the figures in the village were familiar.
Weren't those battle uniforms the uniforms of some of the shelters in the Eighteen Roads Coalition Army?
Why did they look like they were celebrating?!!
Ping Liang was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Why …
Every time …
