Meanwhile, at that moment, many spirit manipulators gathered in the hall of the magnificent building. Among the spirit manipulators that were present, it was the Magic Phoenix Empire's treasure-hunting team that was the most powerful. The members included Erica, who was at the Supernal Stage, two phoenix spirit manipulators at the advanced grade of the Heavenly Stage, and three other masters at the lower grade of the Heavenly Stage. Clearly, these members had an obvious advantage over the other spirit manipulators in the gathering.
The Elite Regiment, on the other hand, was led by Sheehan. It consisted of five members and was only second to the Magic Phoenix Empire's team which had one more member than their team. Sheehan was able to release the aura of the Supernal Stage, while several Elite Regiment members were at the Heavenly Stage, and two of them were the royal spirit manipulators at the advanced grade of the Heavenly Stage. With that being said, it was clear that they were not much weaker than the total power radiated by the Magic Phoenix Empire's team. In fact, the Elite Regiment was the only team which had not lost any member as they successfully arrived at the Myriad Beasts Ground.
In addition to the aforementioned teams who clearly had an advantage when it came to strength, the Snow Ease Clan was also considered to be powerful in its own way for it had four masters at the Heavenly Stage, one of which had almost reached the Supernal Stage.
Aside from that, the Timber Deity Empire also had four masters at the Heavenly Stage, with one of them already at the seventh grade of the Heavenly Stage. Therefore, the entire strength of the Timber Deity Empire's team was only slightly inferior to that of the Snow Ease Clan's.
Meanwhile, most of the other spirit manipulators from other empires and clans, along with those disengaged spirit manipulators, were above the Heavenly Stage. However, they were weaker than the spirit manipulators of the Magic Phoenix Empire. It was said that when their team entered the deep valley, they encountered the strong resistance from the wild spirit-manipulated beasts, and the attacks of the other spirit manipulators. Sadly, they suffered great losses. They even had a threat of annihilation with only a few of them surviving and truly making it to the destination alive.
By all means, it didn't matter to the remaining spirit manipulators how many people were sacrificed as long as they could get the rare Sea Blue Magic Jade. To them, if they got it, then everything was deemed to be worthwhile.
In fact, there was no other clear propagator for the disregard, greed, and ruthlessness of human nature for they were vividly reflected by these spirit manipulators!
At this time, the weaker masters of the Heavenly Stage were obviously unable to wait as they were very eager to take action. After all, there were so many powerful masters present to fight for the treasure, which made the weaker ones at a complete disadvantage. If they didn't take action first, then they would probably have no chance against the other competitors.
So, after the spirit manipulators of every kind kept silent for a while, they immediately summoned their respective spirit-manipulated beasts, and then rushed to the hall's altar with all their strength.
"Cease them! Don't show mercy!" At the same time, Sheehan of the Elite Regiment seriously ordered four of his members behind him.
Then, the four members stretched their bodies, and burst out their spiritual light, which revealed their strength at the Heavenly Stage. Flying at the speed of lightning, they dashed towards the other spirit manipulators who got close to the Sea Blue Magic Jade. Simultaneously, they called out their own spirit-manipulated beasts to fight the beasts of the other spirit manipulators.
But surprisingly, Sheehan himself did not take any action this time. In fact, his eyes were firmly fixed on Erica who stood on the other side of the altar.
What happened was very strange. Although Sheehan expressed his desire to acquire the Sea Blue Magic Jade, his gaze still looked very odd all the time for he did not have the same greed as the other ones who would die for the Sea Blue Magic Jade. Instead, it seemed that he was interested in Erica.
On the other hand, Erica initially thought that there wouldn't be any masters at the Supernal Stage appearing among the other treasure-hunting teams. After all, except for the Magic Phoenix Empire, no one knew that the treasure was the Sea Blue Magic Jade. Thus, just like according to the original plan, it would be a piece of cake for her to obtain the Sea Blue Magic Jade with her formidable strength.
However, it was not in her expectations that the deputy head of the Crimson Dragon Group's Elite Regiment would suddenly appear who was already at the Supernal Stage. The Elite Regiment, being very famous in the Wild Spirit Land, was also the symbol of the Crimson Dragon Group's powerful strength. With that, Erica also assumed that the deputy head of the Elite Regiment must be extraordinary.
Erica had known and heard almost all of the masters above the Supernal Stage in the Wild Spirit Land. For example, she knew that the head of the Crimson Dragon Group's Elite Regiment was the famous master at the Supernal Stage. However, she was so surprised at the fact that the deputy head of the Elite Regiment was also at the Supernal Stage.
