Chapter 1148: Chapter 540 Red Inscription 12_2

Marcello wasn’t boastful, but just calmly said, "We need to work together. The danger level of this adventure is too high. None of us could complete it alone. Oh, it seems that there’s one more Calamity Experiencer this time?"

The Tiger Patrol Guard nodded, "A newcomer, who has not joined any organization, so we couldn’t get in touch."

Their names should be aliases used within Da Luo World Gate.

Marcello said, "In that case, we need to be more careful. We don’t want to work hard and risk our lives to defeat the Ancient God, only for him to suddenly appear and snatch away our success."

"Your Excellency is right." The three nodded, but obviously didn’t take it to heart. A mere newcomer without any organization, what kind of waves could he create? If he dares to show up, they could just kill him directly, as the Da Luo World Gate did not forbid killing between Calamity Experiencers.

Marcello asked again, "What have you gained during this time?"

Still, the Tiger Patrol Guard spoke, "After investigation, we learned that the goal of this adventure—it’s highly likely that the Ancient God is the Divine Lord of the Nightmare Sect."

"The Horizon Bureau of the Wood Dynasty has sent Summit Commandant Owen Bertram to destroy this heretical organization. We captured a military officer from the local Horizon Bureau yesterday. After we consumed his soul with a Mission Curiosity, we learned that the investigation into the Divine Lord’s whereabouts was at a dead end. Owen Bertram should be leaving this place soon and returning to the Imperial Court to report back."

Marcello asked, "What’s the background of this Owen Bertram?"

"We’ve investigated it. He’s a super-genius who has risen rapidly in this world in recent years and has reached Sixth Realm Sixth Merit. He probably isn’t a Calamity Experiencer. Among us, only Your Excellency has the strength to deal with him."

Marcello thought for a moment and said, "It’s better to be cautious. Although the information shows that Owen Bertram is about to leave, it may be false information released by him on purpose so he can secretly wait for the Divine Lord to appear."

The three Tiger Patrol Guards nodded and showed some concern, "That’s indeed possible. According to the rumors in this world, Owen Bertram is very cunning."

Marcello laughed proudly, "We don’t need to fear him too much. Haven’t we Calamity Experiencers killed too many local Heaven’s Chosens? Although I’m weaker than him in terms of realm, I have several Curiosities to help me. Killing him would be like slaughtering a dog."

The Tiger Patrol Guard hurriedly flattered, "Of course, how could the local people be a match for Your Excellency? The clue we’re currently tracking comes from Wallis’ Mission Curiosity, the Earth Chess."

Wallis took out the thin wooden board again, an automatically generated map appeared on it. Wallis held a wooden red arrow in his hand, "As long as you sacrifice 10,000 Spirit Jades, you can rotate the arrow on the Earth Chess while silently making a request in your heart, and the arrow will guide us to find the corresponding clue."

"That’s how it works." Marcello praised, "A rare Curiosity."

The Tiger Patrol Guard told Marcello about the old woman’s corpse, and he said, "In that case, let’s follow this clue and continue tracking."

"Yes." The four continued to search for traces and track. How fast could the old man walk? It was easy for the four cultivators to see him slowly walking ahead.

"Is it him?"

They were about to go forward and capture the old man when Marcello suddenly said, "Wait!" He took out a stone bead from his pocket, the bead had a flickering weak Radiance on it.

Marcello said, "This is my Mission Curiosity for this time. As long as it’s near the Ancient God, it will emit Radiance. The closer it is, the stronger the light."

Foolish Free and Easy, who hadn’t spoken much, asked, "So what’s the situation with the flickering Radiance now?"Marcello thought for a moment and said, "I guess this old man carries an item directly related to the ancient gods." The others became excited. "Right on!"

Tiger Patrol Guard: "This old husband will catch him and torture him to force the truth about that item."

"No!" Marcello immediately stopped him. "The deities will surely sense such an item, and acting now would alert them ahead of time."

Wallis suggested, "Shall we follow him secretly?"

"What if we lose track of him?" Tiger Patrol Guard said. "It’s best to leave a mark on him."

Some of them possessed divine skills or carried curious items to achieve this, but after considering their options, Marcello shook his head: "Regardless of the method, it could easily disturb the ancient gods."

"Let’s just follow him in secret for now, without taking any action. And we mustn’t get too close, especially not let the old man see us."

Foolish Free and Easy was somewhat worried. "Although this old man appears to be an ordinary person, he is after all related to the ancient gods. If we don’t use any means, something unexpected might happen, and this line of inquiry might be lost."

Marcello laughed, "If such an adventure could be so easily completed, why would there be such generous rewards?"

Everyone agreed and followed Marcello’s arrangements. They had no choice; not only was Marcello’s cultivation the highest and strongest of all, but he was also the only one with[Da Luo World Gate]and the backing of the large organization,[Red Inscription 12]. If they opposed, Marcello would probably turn hostile and kill the troublemaker immediately.

No one knows when the[Da Luo World Gate]appeared, and the earliest Calamity Experiencers had disappeared. Some of them died in their adventures, while others were said to have achieved "perfection" and ascended into the Immortal World – whether that’s true or not, no one knows.

To better complete these adventures, some Calamity Experiencers organized themselves into various groups, large and small.[Red Inscription 12]was one of the largest, with a long history. It was said that it was founded by twelve Calamity Experiencers, and has now expanded to several hundred members, with the original twelve members long gone. The twelve who succeeded them were said to be the top powerhouses of the Seventh and Eighth Major Realm!

As the rewards were rich and had the attention of various organizations, they decided to complete "Pursuit of the Slumbering Deities" together after discussion.

But how much restraint could such a loose alliance have on Marcello? Even if they killed them, their small organizations would not have the guts to hold [Red Inscription 12]accountable.

The four quietly lurked, while the old man remained oblivious, walking step by step toward Beast’ear Mountain with his unwavering devotion, resisting hunger.

Owen Bertram followed behind, struggling to make sense of the overwhelming information revealed in their conversation, like the relationship between [Da Luo World Gate], the Calamity Experiencers, and [Red Inscription 12].

What shocked him the most was their constant reference to the "world in-between" - they referred to the Eight Desolations World as the "world in-between", implying that they were not from this world!

"Worlds among the heavens?" Owen Bertram guessed, based on some literary and film works from his previous life. "Is the Eight Desolations World one of the many worlds? And did these people come from another world?"

A normal person would inevitably feel some awe in such a situation, as the unknown can be intimidating when it comes to the so-called worlds among the heavens and guests from foreign lands. But, for Owen Bertram, it was different- he wasn’t from this world!

After pondering for a moment, Owen Bertram made up his mind: No matter where you come from, we will capture you first! As tracking them further had already become pointless. To know what they wanted, all he had to do was interrogate them! He didn’t believe the Horizon Bureau’s 108 notorious torture methods wouldn’t make them talk!

As for the possible disaster that may be unleashed without fully understanding what [Da Luo World Gate]and[Red Inscription 12]are, Owen Bertram was confident that these organizations must have some constraints in the Eight Desolations World. Otherwise, they would have already caused tremendous commotion.

Now, Owen Bertram was restricted, like the other four Calamity Experiencers. If he were to take action, the True Spirit Totem in the old man’s arms would surely detect it, and the last clue about the Divine Lord would be lost.
