Gongsun Hong hesitated briefly before saying, "I don't know. We haven't been able to find out. The protective array didn't react, so they probably used a rare treasure to break in. We were careless, too. If we'd activated most of the restrictions, the Devil Race wouldn't have been able to get in so easily."
Ximen Jie was unconvinced. "Fellow Daoist Gongsun, forgive me for asking, but what did the Devil Race steal? They didn't go treasure hunting on Demon Burial Star. Instead, they attacked the Gongsun Family and then slipped away. It's very strange."
He wasn't the only one wondering about this. Many people shared his question.
"The Myriad Spirit Ring and the Myriad Monster Banner. They came for these two Pseudo Immortal Artifacts. We'd studied them for years, but never imagined the Devil Race still had a hidden hand to play. They snatched the treasures away," Gongsun Hong said truthfully.
There was no way to keep this kind of thing secret. Better to tell everyone openly than hide it. Otherwise, if the Devil Race used the Myriad Monster Banner to wreak havoc, the Gongsun Family would be blamed.
"The Myriad Spirit Ring and the Myriad Monster Banner! One can subdue Yao Beasts, while the other can release them. Both are immensely powerful. Fortunately, I injured Mo Yunzi this time as well. It'll take him at least a thousand years to recover," Gongsun Hong said proudly.
Having their treasures snatched by the Devil Race was humiliating, but the Devil Race hadn't gotten off lightly either. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fled in such a hurry.
"A thousand years?" Ximen Jie sounded doubtful.
The two discussed Mo Yunzi's divine abilities, exchanging their views in detail. Then they contacted the other three Great Immortal Clans and agreed on a united course of action.
