338: He admitted to causing the collapse of the ruins.
"Hmm, alright, Senior Brother Ye, let's go."
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Ye."
Upon hearing Night Owl's voice, Gu Chen and his group, along with The Sha Diao siblings, snapped back to reality and nodded. They prepared to follow Night Owl again and continue flying towards the west.
"Stop!"
"You all pay too little regard to this Emperor! If you dare to fly one more step, do not blame this Emperor for killing you with full force." Seeing the ten from Night Owl's group about to fly away again, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, who was still in shock, reacted and roared with an angry face.
In truth, given the strength Night Owl had just displayed, he had already developed a wariness towards Night Owl.
After all, for a junior at the First Level Quasi-Emperor stage to be able to crush his attack, he would never believe that there was no Emperor-level power backing him, even if he were beaten to death.
However, for the sake of his dignity as a Great Emperor Expert, he had to keep Night Owl and his group here today no matter what; otherwise, where would he put his old face as a Great Emperor Expert?
Facing the threat from the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce.
Night Owl waved his hand at Gu Chen and his group, signaling them not to fly for the moment, and turned his head, calmly saying to the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce: "Senior, we all paid fees to enter the ruins. If you, Senior, wish to keep us here, what exactly are your intentions?"
"Hiss, this guy is not only a freak in terms of strength, but he actually dares to question a Peak Great Emperor Expert. He is truly daring."
"Indeed, when we Quasi-Emperors see a Great Emperor, which of us isn't timid and submissive? This guy shows no respect at all towards a Great Emperor Expert; I really don't know where his confidence comes from."
Seeing Night Owl speaking to the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce in a questioning tone.
The Cultivators in the large pit below were all whispering among themselves.
One must know that the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was a dignified Peak Great Emperor Expert, even if Night Owl had an Emperor-level power backing him, and he himself could crush a Great Emperor's attack.
But if the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce were to truly attack Night Owl with full force, it is feared that ten Night Owls would be killed on the spot.
After all, no matter how much of a Prodigy a First Level Quasi-Emperor is, he is absolutely not an opponent for a Peak Great Emperor.
"You..." Seeing Night Owl speak to him like this, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was so angry his nose was almost crooked.
However, the more fearless Night Owl appeared, the more wary he became.
Now that all the continents were connected, no one knew how strong the Emperor-level power standing behind Night Owl was.
Therefore, he could only endure Night Owl's rudeness.
The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce suppressed his anger and said calmly: "This Emperor only wants to find out the culprit who caused the ruins to collapse. As soon as the investigation is complete, this Emperor will let you go immediately."
Hearing the voice of the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce without the slightest trace of anger.
The Cultivators in the large pit below erupted into another round of discussion.
"Holy crap! This Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce actually didn't get angry and is even explaining it to him calmly. Isn't this too cowardly?"
"Exactly, a dignified Peak Great Emperor Expert, how can he be afraid of a Quasi-Emperor? Even if he has an Emperor-level power behind him, he should still display the Aura of a Great Emperor."
"Heh heh, a Great Emperor Expert? I think he's a 'fear-of-death' expert."
Some people stood within the crowd and discussed the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce using sound transmission.
But they overestimated their own strength; their sound transmissions were all heard by the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, word for word.
Consequently, dozens of Great Emperor powers descended precisely from the sky, instantly exploding these gossiping Saint and Saint King Cultivators into blood mists on the spot.
Seeing these people inexplicably killed by the Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce.
The rest of them all shut their mouths with terrified faces, not daring to use any more sound transmissions, fearing that they would be next.
Seeing these people explode into blood mists and fall to the ground, Night Owl secretly thought it was a pity, and replied with a calm face: "Senior, there is no need to investigate any culprit. The ruins inside were indeed collapsed by us. However, we were just treasure hunting normally; if you want to blame someone, blame this ruin for being too fragile."
Since the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce was determined to find the culprit before letting them leave, he might as well admit it and see what the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce wanted to do.
"What! The ruins were collapsed by them?" Hearing Night Owl admit that he had collapsed the ruins, the Cultivators in the large pit below all glared furiously at the ten from Night Owl's group.
One must know that they had to hand over their Storage Rings before even registering, entirely thanks to the people who collapsed the ruins.
Now that Night Owl admitted to collapsing the ruins, how could they possibly give Night Owl a pleasant look?
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't beat Night Owl and the Three Great Emperor-level Factions were present, they would definitely go up and beat Night Owl and his group in a brawl.
"Oh? You were the ones who collapsed the ruins?" The Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land, narrowed their eyes upon hearing this, and wisps of cold light shot out from them.
Previously, if Night Owl and his group were rude, they couldn't gauge the strength of the power behind Night Owl, so they could endure it and not bicker with Night Owl.
Now that Night Owl said he collapsed the ruins himself, they would not let Night Owl and his group go today.
After all, this ruin was the treasure vault of their three factions, and it had been collapsed before they had even fully developed it. No matter what, they had to recover some losses from the ten people in Night Owl's group.
Even if it meant binding the ten of them and making the Great Emperor of the power behind them bring treasures to exchange for them, they would not hesitate.
"How did you collapse the ruins? Did you use power that surpassed the Great Emperor, or did you touch some core area?" The Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce calmed his mood and asked patiently.
Since Night Owl had already admitted it, he was not in a hurry to capture them, but rather wanted to ask them why they had caused the ruins to collapse.
After all, to catch a thief, one must catch them with the stolen goods; they still needed to understand the process of Night Owl and his group's 'crime' clearly.
"Hmm... it was just when we were stripping away a pill nurturing pool from the Emperor Realm that contained hundreds of thousands of emperor pills, we accidentally caused it to collapse." Night Owl deliberately pondered for a moment, then answered seriously.
The reason he answered truthfully was that he wanted these three people to hear about the hundreds of thousands of emperor pills and be unable to resist attacking them.
Because Zhao Da and his group had said that they would not make a move unless they encountered an enemy they couldn't handle, he could only drop this bombshell to make the three of them develop greed and come seeking death themselves.
"What!! A pill nurturing pool containing hundreds of thousands of emperor pills?" Hearing Night Owl's answer, the Great Emperor Old Ancestor of the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Old Ancestors of the Nine Star Sect and the Flying Cloud Holy Land, all exclaimed in shock.
