335: Do not leave

Watching more and more treasure-hunting Cultivators emerge from the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins, yet those two Great Emperor Mummified Corpses were nowhere to be seen.

The Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild wore a look of confusion.

He grabbed a Quasi-Emperor Elder who had just come out and asked indifferently, "I ask you, why have you all come out?"

Seeing that it was the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild asking, the Quasi-Emperor Elder hurriedly replied timidly, "Reporting to the Great Emperor, the space inside is already slowly collapsing. We were afraid of being swallowed by the void, so we came out."

"What! The space inside has collapsed?" Hearing the elder's reply, the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild exclaimed in shock and anger.

He was holding the Quasi-Emperor Elder's arm, and accidentally used a bit too much force, causing the Quasi-Emperor Elder to explode on the spot.

One must know, in order to prevent the space inside from collapsing and to extract everything within, their Three Great Emperor-level Factions had been extremely cautious, not even daring to send in experts at the Half-step Great Emperor level.

Now, the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins had collapsed after being open for only half a day; how could he not be furious?

"Fellow Daoist Wanbao, what has happened again?" Hearing the shock and anger from the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild.

The Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land instantly appeared beside the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild and asked.

Seeing these two appear, the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild regained his composure and said, "Two Fellow Daoists, the space inside is already collapsing. There must have been a major incident inside this time. We must control everyone who entered and investigate the matter clearly."

Previously, their three factions had sent people in several times, and they had never caused the space to collapse.

Now that this batch of people entered, the space collapsed immediately. Someone must have touched the core of this space.

Therefore, until they investigated the ins and outs of the matter, they absolutely could not let anyone who entered the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins leave.

After all, this space was the treasure vault of their three factions, and they absolutely could not let this space collapse without knowing why.

"What! The space inside has collapsed?" Hearing this, the Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land were also shocked and furious, their expressions extremely ugly.

To their three factions, this space could be considered a cash cow. As long as this space existed, they could obtain a massive amount of Cultivation resources. Now that the space had collapsed, this had cut off their source of wealth.

"Damn it, we must investigate the cause of this!"

"That's right. If it was a human factor, I will definitely extract that person's soul and refine their spirit!"

The Great Emperors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land came back to their senses and said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, two Fellow Daoists, let us impose martial law to prevent any Cultivator who came out from leaving."

After the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild finished speaking, he scanned the Cultivators in the air and in the large pit, then said sternly, "All Cultivators who have come out, regardless of whether you paid the fee or not, none of you are allowed to leave. You may only leave once I have investigated the matter inside clearly!!"

Hearing the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild announce such an order.

The Cultivators in the air and in the large pit were not surprised at all.

Because the three of them did not hide their discussion at all, they had heard it clearly and also knew that the space inside had already begun to collapse.

"Hiss, who on earth did this, actually causing the space to collapse?"

"I don't know. I originally wanted to go back in to hunt for treasure, but now there isn't even a place left. What treasure is there to hunt for?"

"Damn it all! I still had one pseudo-emperor pill that I hadn't collected yet, and I was just waiting to go back in to get it. You bastard, you caused the space to collapse—this is basically not letting us live!"

"That's right, I had already scouted several spots and was just waiting to go in to hunt for treasure. Now that the space has collapsed, everything is gone."

The tens of thousands of Cultivators who had been chased out of the core area by the Great Emperor Mummified Corpses all looked up at the sky and sighed, feeling as if life was meaningless.

Originally, these people had all been scared out while hunting for treasure by those two Great Emperor Mummified Corpses, leaving behind many treasures waiting to be collected.

Now that the space inside had collapsed, it was impossible for them to return to hunt for treasure. They had truly suffered a huge loss.

The tens of thousands of Cultivators in this large pit were sighing and groaning.

Suspended in the air, Sand Sable, who was beside Night Owl and the others, had an even uglier expression, looking as if he was about to cry.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, what should we do? As soon as they check the surveillance records, they will know that it was us who caused the space to collapse. When that time comes, they definitely won't let us off."
