336: Ignore the Emperor
Sand Sable's voice trembled as he sent a voice transmission to Night Owl, asking, "Now that the Great Emperor Experts from the three major powers are determined to investigate this matter, they will soon trace it back to us."
"After all, when we were taking the emperor pills, there were hundreds of people watching nearby."
"As long as the Great Emperor Experts from the three major powers find the surveillance Formations on those people, our act of seizing the Emperor Realm pill nurturing pool, which caused the entire space to collapse, will be exposed immediately."
"Judging by the level of anger the Great Emperor Experts from the three major powers just displayed, if they find out it was us, we are definitely doomed, and we will die a horrible death."
"Heh, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, none of us are worried yet, so what do you have to fear? If the three major powers want to investigate, they will come looking for me and Junior Brother Gu and the others first." Hearing Sand Sable's fearful voice transmission, Night Owl replied with a faint smile.
He was not at all worried about these three Great Emperor Experts trying to investigate the cause of the space collapse.
If these three Great Emperor Experts were reasonable, he would reason with them; if they were unreasonable, then Elder Zhao Da and his group would come out and reason with them.
Therefore, no matter what these three Great Emperor Experts wanted, they would not be afraid.
"F-Fellow Daoist Ye, do you have some kind of backing?" Seeing that Night Owl was not anxious in the slightest and instead looked completely calm, Sand Sable reacted and asked with wild joy.
Given that Night Owl and his group all possessed the strength to kill enemies across cultivation realms, the power behind them must be an Emperor-level power. If the power behind them was strong enough, then there was still room for maneuver regarding today's events.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, you will know in a moment." Night Owl heard this and smiled, feigning mystery.
Seeing that Night Owl was unwilling to speak, Sand Sable hovered in the air, feeling somewhat awkward. However, his expression had softened significantly, and he no longer looked like he was about to cry from anxiety.
Just as the two finished their voice transmission, the voice of the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce rang out in everyone's ears once again.
"Those who have come out must immediately descend into the pit. Cultivators who possess surveillance Formations must all hand over your Storage Rings to this Emperor. Once this Emperor has finished inspecting them and confirmed there are no issues, I will pay you that ten percent reward."
"Hiss, just hand over the Storage Rings like this?" Hearing the words of the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, whether it was the Cultivators in the air who hadn't paid the fee, or those in the large pit who hadn't paid, their eyes were all filled with reluctance.
Logically speaking, when they handed over their Storage Rings, they should at least register their identities first.
After all, if they handed them over just like this, the Storage Rings would all get mixed up, and there would be no way to know who had obtained how much.
After the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce finished checking them, he would probably just give them whatever he wanted to dismiss them. This was blatant robbery!
"What? Do you not understand this Emperor's words?" Seeing that not a single Cultivator moved, the voice of the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce became cold.
Feeling the coldness in the words of the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, all the Cultivators who hadn't paid the fee were instantly terrified.
They hurriedly took off the Storage Rings that the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce had issued and flew toward the sky.
Although they were unwilling in every way, the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was a Great Emperor Expert.
They dared not disobey the words of a Great Emperor Expert; otherwise, they would end up like that Quasi-Emperor Elder who was questioned just now and be blasted to death on the spot.
"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Sister Mu, Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, since there is nothing left for us to do, let's go." Seeing the Great Emperor Experts from the three major powers collecting the Storage Rings of the Cultivators who hadn't paid, Night Owl directly called for Gu Chen and his companions, as well as The Sha Diao siblings, to leave.
They were VIPs who had paid the fee, so since the treasure hunt was over, they should naturally leave. If these three Great Emperor Experts did not allow them to leave, that would be a matter for Elder Zhao Da and his group.
"This... Fellow Daoist Ye, we are just going to leave like this?" Hearing Night Owl tell the two siblings to leave, Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng were completely dumbfounded.
The Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce had just announced that regardless of whether they had paid the fee or not, no Cultivators were allowed to leave until the results were found.
Now that a Great Emperor Expert had just finished making the announcement, Night Owl was acting as if he hadn't heard it and wanted to leave. This was truly not taking the Great Emperor Expert seriously at all.
Although Night Owl had just shown that he had backing, he should at least bring that backing out first so they could leave with peace of mind.
Otherwise, before they could even fly out of the area of the large pit, they would be blasted to death by the three Great Emperor Experts, resulting in their demise.
"Fellow Daoist Sand Sable, if you want to stay here, we won't force you." Seeing that Sand Sable and Sha Xiaomeng were too scared to leave, Night Owl replied indifferently and called for Gu Chen and his companions to leave.
He would not explain too much to Sand Sable. If Sand Sable did not follow them, they would not care about any accidents that happened afterward.
After all, their relationship had effectively ended the moment they left the Ancient Pill Sect Ruins. Inviting the two siblings to leave together was already benevolent enough.
"Brother, let's hurry and follow them. If we follow Fellow Daoist Ye and the others, we still have a chance to live; otherwise, it's a dead end." Seeing this, Sha Xiaomeng hurriedly urged from the side.
"Alright, Xiaomeng, let's follow Fellow Daoist Ye and the others." Sand Sable nodded and quickly followed behind Night Owl and his group.
Since Night Owl dared to leave just like that without saying a word, he definitely had his reasons and was absolutely not seeking death without cause.
Therefore, if the two siblings followed Night Owl and his group, they still had a chance of survival; otherwise, there was absolutely no possibility of living.
The Cultivators in the air had finished handing over their Storage Rings and were all descending into the large pit.
Only Night Owl and his group, along with The Sha Diao siblings, not only did not descend but flew directly toward the west side of the large pit, as if they hadn't heard the words of the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce at all.
"Damn! Do these ten people want to leave? Didn't they hear the Great Emperor's decree?"
"Exactly, they won't even obey the Great Emperor's decree. They must have lived too long and don't want to live anymore."
"Hehe, since these people are seeking death, let's watch how they get blasted to death by the Great Emperor."
Seeing that the ten people with Night Owl were about to fly out of the large pit, the treasure-hunting Cultivators below all let out exclamations of shock.
However, when these people came back to their senses, they all wore expressions of watching a good show.
After all, not obeying the Great Emperor's decree to descend meant enduring the Great Emperor's wrath, and they wanted to see how Night Owl and his group would die.
"Fellow Daoists, hurry down! Don't leave, hurry and descend!" Seeing that Night Owl and his group were about to fly out of the large pit, President Hu of the Ten Thousand Treasures Merchant Guild in Feiying City shouted at them with a worried look on his face.
He had originally wanted to wait for Night Owl and his group to descend so he could chat with them about their haul and see if he could acquire some of the Medicinal Pills and Pill Formulas from within.
Now that they were just flying away like this, he was afraid they would be killed on the spot by his own Old Ancestor and the Old Ancestors of the other two families. This was truly too reckless.
