Cave Refuge

Dong Tianyu wondered why the Imperial Court would sincerely hand out compensation this time. The main reason was that not even those who were standing, let alone the disabled sitting down, could meet the compensation criteria. Only those lying still truly qualified to receive it.

Of course, while receiving compensation was difficult, the rewards offered were indeed very generous; it's just that the majority of ordinary people could not meet the standards for receiving compensation.

But all the above is said in jest. In truth, the Imperial Court this time would only provide compensation to those registered and settled at the Magic Capital Base, and only for the residential damages caused by the Bat Monster invasion. No compensation would be provided for goods hidden in the houses that were plundered by the Bat Monsters.

To put it plainly, if the house was damaged, the Officials would repair it for free, but if belongings stored inside were stolen by the Bat Monsters, the Imperial Court would not provide any compensation.

If Dong Tianyu did not understand Grayson Todd, Robinson William was very familiar with Grayson Todd's character. Hence, after Grayson Todd finished talking about the compensation provided by the Imperial Court, Robinson William, somewhat impatiently urged: "Can't you skip the nonsense and just talk about something useful?"

Listening to Robinson William's probing questions, Grayson Todd no longer engaged in idle chatter with the two men, and turned to look directly at Dong Tianyu as he asked, "Since you've put it that way, I won't beat around the bush anymore.

My purpose here is to find out whether those Bat Monsters gathered here have returned to their original Plane via the Plane Transmission Array."

Hearing Grayson Todd say this, Robinson William frowned in confusion, "What are you trying to ask, Grayson Todd? So many Bat Monsters have vanished from here; obviously, they've returned to their original Plane through the Plane Transmission Array. Otherwise, are you suggesting that Dong Tianyu could've killed them all?

Stop joking, if Dong Tianyu really killed all those Bat Monsters, leaving other aspects aside for the moment, when those Bat Monsters were injured or dying, they should have bled from their wounds, right? Look at the clear sea around us, there's no sign of any corpses."

Although Robinson William's explanation sounded logical, for some reason, Grayson Todd instinctively felt that the situation was not as Robinson William had analyzed.

Standing aside, Dong Tianyu did not immediately respond after hearing Grayson Todd's inquiry, but first silently recalled the battle scene with the Bat Monsters.

The Bat Monsters that swarmed in droves initially completely enveloped this area, so whether viewed from space from above or from afar, the only thing visible was the densely packed, sky-obscuring swarm of Bat Monsters.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for an observer to see the scene inside the center of the Plane Transmission Channel unless they possessed X-ray vision. They would not have been able to witness the scene of the Three Flags reaping wildly inside.

Of course, during the earlier stages when there were a large number of Bat Monsters, it might indeed have been impossible to glimpse inside. Yet, in the later stages, as the end approached and those Bat Monsters were being cleared by the Three Flags, perhaps some issues could still have been discovered.

Initially, when Dong Tianyu was surrounded, he would use Flying Swords to clear out the constantly converging Bat Monsters, but as the number of Resentful Spirits controlled by the Hundred Ghosts Banner grew, the battle gradually no longer required Dong Tianyu's assistance with the Flying Swords.

If one were to think back more carefully, after those Resentful Spirits materialized from the Hundred Ghosts Banner, unless one was born with the Yin-Yang Eyes or had enhanced themselves with Pupil Skill, it would be impossible for even the strongest individuals with high Cultivation Levels to see souls, unless they used special means, or unless their bodies were dead.

Because of this, when those Resentful Spirits moved, others could not actually see them with the naked eye, and whether it was satellite imagery from above or observations through telescopes from a distance, neither electronic devices nor human eyes could actually detect the murdering Resentful Spirits in the air.

If there were other people observing the situation from the outside, the most they could discern would be many fine-looking Bat Monsters in the air, for some unknown reason, suddenly stiffening and then plummeting into the water.

Therefore, even if some felt there was a problem here, when they delved into the seabed for a detailed exploration, they could not find any corpses of the sunken Bat Monsters.

If a person had been missing for an extended period before a Natural Disaster occurred, then the Imperial Court would declare them dead. However, now if a person entered a certain area and disappeared from the sight of others, the most likely scenario would not be a casualty but rather the discovery of a Secret Realm.

This is the reason for Grayson Todd's anxious rush to come here. For the current Imperial Court, whether it's Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or exotic beasts, they do not hold much allure.

Now, what could truly catch the attention of the Imperial Court is actually a Secret Realm.

Robinson William might not know much about Secret Realms, but Dong Tianyu was very clear on the subject. After all, when he first obtained his immovable Cave, wasn't it considered a Secret Realm?

And if Grayson Todd's purpose for coming here was to confirm whether those disappeared Bat Monsters had indeed returned to their original Plane through the Plane Transmission Channel, or if they did not leave Blue Star, but instead, have hidden in a nearby Secret Realm.
