Chapter 1142: Chapter 538: Respect Immortal Stone_3

He also owned a luxury ship on the Little Flower River to the east of the city, lavishly furnished with all amenities. Only those close to him knew that he alternated his residence between these two places, and his whereabouts were always unpredictable.

Officer Owen first visited the residence at Miami Club, not disturbing the servants or the several concubines of the Commanding Chieftain. He searched the Chieftain’s study, finding a great sum of property and a unique token. Anyone from the Horizon Bureau knew this token originated from the Nine Witch Demon Court!

"So this Alan, is a spy of the Nine Witch Demon Court, no wonder he was so cautious." But Owen did not find any details he was looking for about the Divine Lord. He collected these proofs of Chieftain’s guilt and then came to the ship on the Little Flower River. This place had even tighter security, with the Commanding Chieftain hiring eight cultivators to guard it with his own money.

These cultivators under the title of "Protector" were all powerful, but in front of Owen, they amounted to nothing. He quietly boarded the ship, and as expected from the preserved memories of the two revered Lords, there were no attendants or concubines. If the Commanding Chieftain wanted to do something, there were dozens of ships on the Little Flower River where he could execute his work before returning to rest.

Owen searched the entire ship multiple times and realized that this place was more like a prepared "exit route" for the Commanding Chieftain. Hidden in the bottom of the ship was a smaller ship, a Tire-4 Magical Artifact, which could sail underwater with extreme speed and had an array that shielded its presence.

The small ship had few one-time use Magical Instruments of great power and various Spiritual Pills stocked in it.

In the end, Owen found some correspondences in the small ship - these correspondences were from the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region!

The practice of corresponding with foreign nations would leave clues if Communication Talismans were used. Once the Commanding Chieftain was captured, his higher-ups could be identified through the talisman. He wouldn’t even need to confess, as certain special Cultivation Methods could facilitate this.

However, these traditional correspondences didn’t leave this kind of loophole. Unless the Commanding Chieftain was caught in the act and kept his mouth shut, it would not be easy to find his connections.

Owen was surprised: Whose agent was this Alan? He later joined the Nightmare Sect! A servant of three households? No, a servant to three surnames.

However, he still didn’t find any clues of the Nightmare Sect on the ship, making Owen furrow his brow in thought. He realized a problem: In the memories of the revered Lord, none of the residences of the Commanding Chieftain had any totem sculptures of the Divine Lord.

As a high-level believer, the Commanding Chieftain must worship and pray every day.

"This old fox, doesn’t trust anyone. Neither of these places is his true nest." Owen thought for a moment, and turned towards the local Horizon Courthouse: Could the Commanding Chieftain be playing the "real is unreal, unreal is real" trick? His actual residence might be in the Horizon Courthouse.

However, this small courtyard within Horizon Bureau was empty, and he still found no clues.

As dawn broke, Owen sighed silently. He would have to use the Horizon Bureau’s investigation method in the end. He pulled out his Communication Talisman: "Return, the top officials of the local Horizon Bureau have been wiped out. If you can’t regain control, then you’re truly useless!"

Dean Rivercutter Zhan had been hiding outside the city. Last night, he sensed the fluctuation in the aura of the Chaotic Burial Mound and Prefect Mansion, but he didn’t dare show his face until he was sure of Owen’s advantage.

However, Owen’s tone was quite hostile this time. If he was deemed a "failure" by Owen, then he probably would face penalties harsher than being demoted and sent into retirement.

Within an hour, Commander Dean Rivercutter Zhan of the Rex District Horizon Bureau appeared in the courthouse! At this time, within the city, he was the highest-ranking official of the Imperial Court!

He was also the most powerful cultivator - besides Owen.

Dean Rivercutter Zhan was not entirely incompetent. Once he understood why Owen had called him back, he took personal action and arrested all the Prescotts and Chief Flags in the Rex District Horizon Bureau!

Those who cooperated were first locked up in the prisons, and those who resisted were executed. He then quickly assembled a team of trustworthy men, all being made up of the grassroots Military Officers, totaling about fifty people. The only selection criteria were how they treated a set of wood-carved Divine Lord totems that he had found in the courthouse; if they spat or peed on these totems, then they were trusted allies.

These fifty men split into two groups. One part investigated which other properties the Commanding Chieftain owned, while the other arrested everyone from the Chieftain’s two residences for interrogations.

At the ship on the Little Flower River, Dean Rivercutter Zhan personally led his team and did not let any of the eight Protector cultivators escape.

That evening, after the results of the interrogations were compiled, they were personally handed to Owen by Dean Rivercutter Zhan. Owen browsed through them, most of which were useless. Given the Commanding Chieftain’s cautious nature, even his concubines wouldn’t utter a word more than necessary.

He went through all the testimonies and casually put them aside, asking, "Has the group searching for properties found anything?"

"Yes." Dean Rivercutter Zhan knew it was his chance to shine. If he couldn’t find what Owen was looking for, then from him down to his subordinates, the entire Rex District Horizon Bureau would face a severe crisis.

He presented the results of the search. In just one day, they found six properties belonging to the Commanding Chieftain within the city, and two more outside the city.
