A World Worth Protecting

Chapter 742: Fishing in troubled waters!

Views:

Almost at the moment when the battleship, which had lost its power, rushed out of the atmosphere and crashed towards the mountains on the ground, in the atmosphere of the sky, Gongsun Hou, the supreme elder of Wanling Sect, who was pursuing with all his strength using the secret method of thunder, shrank his eyes suddenly.

Due to the special atmosphere of the main star of the Divine Eye, he could only barely lock the general position of the battleship before, and could not be precise. But the moment the battleship left the atmosphere, the lock immediately became extremely clear, so without any hesitation, Gongsun Hou The body swayed straight out of the atmosphere, then moved and disappeared in an instant.

When it appeared, the scene that caught his eye was the battleship of their Wanling Sect, smashing towards the ground. There were also bursts of sharp whistling sounds that spread like a storm in all directions.

"not good!"

All of this immediately caused Gongsun Hou's complexion to change drastically. He didn't have time to think about it. His cultivation level exploded at this moment and he rushed straight to the battleship to rescue him!

In fact, for Wanling Sect, even if its wealth is far beyond that of Shengtao Sect, there are only three warships capable of traveling to outer systems. Once they crash, the loss will be too great.

So at this moment, Gongsun Hou showed his speed to the extreme. In an instant, he appeared in front of the battleship falling to the earth. He raised his hands suddenly and pressed them in front of the battleship. With his own cultivation, he tried to resolve the inertia of the falling battleship. .

The roaring sound suddenly started at this moment. Gongsun Hou's face turned pale, and all the blood vessels in his arms bulged, even on his face. With the continuous explosion of cultivation, his body kept retreating until he landed on the ground. As soon as he stepped on it, the earth roared, and cracks spread rapidly. After covering an area of 1,000 feet, the ground in this area immediately collapsed, dispersing Gongsun Hou's pressure.

With a roar, the pressure was dispersed, and with his strong personal cultivation, the nearly out-of-control battleship was finally controlled by Gongsun Hou. After slowly stopping it aside, Gongsun Hou was panting. He immediately spread his consciousness to check. From this look, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shaking with anger.

The interior of the battleship was really in a mess. It was obvious that a large number of parts were missing. Many places were empty, and those missing items were the most precious ones... Even the scraps had signs of being chewed. All of this suddenly became apparent. This made Gongsun Hou extremely heartbroken.

Thinking that he led the sect to destroy many civilizations, massacred a large number of species, and worked hard for so many years to accumulate three warships as a family fortune, but now... so much was lost all at once, he had difficulty breathing. Especially... knowing that this time he also lost the valuable Xingxu Stone, the feeling of heartache, like tearing apart, made Gongsun Hou Xiuwei roll over uncontrollably, raised his head with a ferocious expression, and let out a roar of extreme anger. .

"No matter who you are, I, the Wanling Sect, will definitely find you, crush you to ashes, and destroy both body and spirit!!"

The sound spread in all directions and even reverberated to a certain extent in the atmosphere, and naturally fell into the ears of Wang Baole, who was not completely far away now.

"Only you are allowed to rob other civilizations, and others are not allowed to rob you?" Wang Baole's eyes widened, and he paused, wondering whether he should go back and let the other party know that he could not speak to his father like this, but thinking that this way, things would suddenly change. It caused too much trouble for him to rob later, so he snorted a few times and ignored it, swaying his body and heading straight to Shengtao Gate.

After returning to Shengtao Gate, he quietly entered the forbidden space and returned to his own secret room. After sitting down, he began to sort out the harvest. As he sorted it out, Wang Baole's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Sure enough, Ma Wuye is not fattened by grass. This time, the robbery can even match the Shengtao Sect's previous auction proceeds!"

In the excitement, Wang Baole began to build his own battleship. Since the resources were sufficient in a short time, Wang Baole was immersed in refining the parts of the battleship in the following days and paid little attention to the external affairs.

It's not that he doesn't care about the aftermath of his robbery, but Wang Baole acts in a measured manner. He feels that although he is not very good at robbery, he knows very well that for a sect, being robbed and killed means a lot. The difference is that the former is just a loss of property. Although it is heartbreaking, it is more of a loss of face, while the latter is almost equivalent to starting a war.

Especially in the eyes of outsiders, the degree of badness is completely different. Just like after knowing that a thief has stolen valuables from the neighbor's house next door, everyone will instinctively be vigilant and take precautions. But if someone is killed in the neighbor's house next door, then... Not just vigilant anymore.

In fact, the subsequent changes were exactly as Wang Baole had judged. As for the robbery of the Wanling Sect's battleship, it was difficult to hide it. In addition, the Wanling Sect had many enemies who did not like it, so it was quickly revealed. It became headline news on Shenmu Prime and spread quickly.

All of a sudden, all the sects of all sizes were talking about it. In the Shengtao Sect where Wang Baole was, most of the disciples were talking about this matter during this period of time. Although they were wary in their words, there were more. It's schadenfreude.

"Have you heard that a fully loaded battleship of Wanling Sect was robbed? It is said that not only all the harvest was lost, but also the battleship was dismantled a lot!"

"This kind of thing has not happened for many years..."

"The Wanling Sect has always been arrogant, and today, haha, I also inquired about it before. It is said that they just destroyed a small civilization and obtained a large amount of Xingxu Stone, but in the end they took advantage of others!"

Although Wang Baole was immersed in the refining of battleships, he could still hear these discussions from time to time when he occasionally went out to preside over the repair work of Shengtaomen battleships. However, Wang Baole frowned after hearing this.

"Wanling Sect is also our Five Rings Sect. They have been robbed. Although we are unable to help, we must remember to only mention this matter within the sect and do not talk nonsense when we go out... At the same time, we must be vigilant and not Follow in the footsteps of Wanling Sect!”

Wang Baole's serious look and solemn words made the disciples who were discussing this matter tremble in their hearts, and they quickly bowed their heads and said yes. At the same time, his words were also recognized by the Supreme Elder of Shengtao Sect, and they even summoned seven of them because of this. Elder, I focused on this matter.

"Tai Shang Elder, Mr. Long suggested that, whether it is just a show or a sincere help, in order for our Shengtao Sect to avoid similar things happening in the future, we should ask Wanling Sect if we need help in searching together." At the meeting convened by the Supreme Elder, Wang Baole coughed and spoke seriously, as if he was really putting himself in Shengtao Sect's shoes.

In response to Wang Baole's proposal, the Supreme Elder of the Shengtao Sect smiled and waved his hand.

"I have immediately asked fellow Taoist Gongsun of the Wanling Sect about this matter, but now everyone is suspicious of Gongsun Hou, so I rejected my kindness."

"It's no wonder that Wanling Sect is like this. This matter is really embarrassing... As a star thief, he was originally engaged in robbery and robbery, but he was robbed by others." Another elder on the side said with a smile after hearing this.

"This matter is most likely the result of a leak within the Wanling Sect. Otherwise, if there were so many returning warships, why was their warship that obtained the Star Void Stone robbed?" Wang Baole also nodded. , said the analysis in a matter-of-fact way.

His analysis is actually one of the main speculation directions of various sects on the main star of Shenmu about this matter. After all, the main star has not seen the seizure of warships for a long time, and it is too accurate, as if it is known in advance which ship is the most valuable.

At the same time, the ridicule about the incident where the Star Thief was robbed was also pushed by several rival sects of Wanling Sect, especially one called Shui Lian Sect, making it a joke.

So in the following time, the most depressed sect in the entire Shenmu Prime was the Wanling Sect. Not only did they lose resources, their battleships were robbed, but they also received ridicule and comments from outside sects such as the Shui Lian Sect, but they Regardless of the investigation, no clues were found. In anger, Marquis Gongsun even launched a rigorous internal investigation, but there was still no clue...

In this way, due to Gongsun Hou's helplessness and the fact that he suspected Shui Lianzong but had no evidence and was preparing to collect it secretly, the matter gradually became undisclosed until late one night a month later, he sat cross-legged in a secret room Wang Baole raised his head, his eyes shining, and he licked his lips.

"The materials are all used up..."
