Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Big Shots Hidden in the Horizon Bureau (Part 1)_1

York Gordon and the others stayed by the Gold Soil ever since, the three Military Officers and four Officiants had been confronting each other for quite some time, and were almost about to act. Up until now, they had not negotiated a solution that both sides could accept.

Suddenly the Military Officer rushed in, saying that the Horizon Bureau’s Chief Flag had arrived, and the seven of them were shocked: had the matter been exposed?!

"He said he will wait for just one tea-time, after which he won’t care about your life and death anymore."

York Gordon shrewdly said, "Could there still be a turning point?"

He made a decision on the spot: "Let’s go see him!"

The Old Fisher and the four Officiants were also unwilling to fight until both sides were destroyed, so they agreed: "Let’s go together."

Then, the seven of them discussed who would stay behind, one Military Officer and one Officiant, to jointly guard the Gold Soil - but no one was willing to stay. Now was a life-and-death moment, and if I stayed behind, would I be betrayed by you and become the scapegoat for this matter? In any case, I don’t dare to trust you.

In the end, Old Fisher and York Gordon together set up a formation to envelop the Gold Soil, and the seven of them went out together to meet Jim.

Jim was flirting with the furthest-ranking female Military Officer – learning the little yellow jokes from the Education Bureau and making her cheeks red like fire, laughing with unrestrained glee.

York Gordon hurriedly stepped forward: "Chief Flag Jim."

Jim’s face turned cold, he snorted and put on an act: "Let’s go, I’ll take you to see a bigshot. He said if you want to survive, roll over and beg me!"

The faces of York Gordon and the others changed. Indeed, the matter had been exposed and was discovered by someone from the Internal Canon. There might be a high-ranking person from the Internal Canon behind Jim.

This matter was likely to become a handle, held in his hand. Although he said he could save our lives, from now on, we could only be controlled by him.

After Jim finished speaking, he didn’t care about their reactions at all, and, with his hands behind his back, he took the lead and walked away, convinced that they would obediently follow.

The seven men hesitated, and York Gordon was the most astute, sighing: "We are at their mercy, what can we do? Let’s go..."

The seven men hurriedly followed – Jim swaggered ahead, and behind him followed a string of revered Lords and Officiants, who dared not overstep.

Just like that, Jim reached the peak of his dog’s life.

Jim led them to the Taoist Temple, and York Gordon and the others did not doubt that a high-ranking person from the Internal Canon must have come secretly and stayed on their own territory.

Then they arrived outside Owen Bertram’s room. Jim carefully approached and knocked on the door: "Sir, the seven of York Gordon have been brought."

"Come in."

After entering, the seven of them were stunned, wasn’t this high-ranking person too low-key, dressing up as a Trial Training General?

Owen Bertram motioned to Jim to close the door and set up a Soundproof Barrier.

"I am Owen Bertram..." Just as he began to speak, the seven of them angrily looked at Jim: "What a bold dog, do you really think we are down and out, so even a small Chief Flag dares to make fun of us!"

"Shut up!" Jim yelled, not showing any weakness!

York Gordon and the others were really shocked by his attitude, feeling a bit confused; Owen Bertram had already calmly opened a Storage Brocade Pouch and took out items one by one.

York Gordon and the others glanced at it and were stunned. Weren’t those Dandelion Killers the ones we "lost"?!

A hot-headed revered Lord raised his hand, ready to snatch them back. But he quickly reacted: how did these Dandelion Killers end up in the hands of this Trial Training General?

What was his relationship with those terrifying Ghost Spirits who snatched these Dandelion Killers?

Just as they thought of this, their minds were shaken, and suddenly a dark yellow rope appeared out of nowhere, seemingly "effortlessly" wrapped around the necks of the seven men, lifting them into the air!

Owen Bertram was quite satisfied, just like the seven Gourd Brothers he had trained personally.

Among the seven was the Old Fisher, the Fourth Great Realm!

Only the Old Fisher grasped some secrets: the reason why this rope seemed effortless and they had no power to resist was actually because it was "as it should be," as if from some "law," it had pre-determined that they would be captured!

What a terrifying Magic Treasure?! The Old Fisher encountered it for the first time in his life of several hundred years.

Owen Bertram stood in front of the seven with his hands behind him, and coldly asked: "Who came up with the idea to frame me?"

At this time, everyone looked at York Gordon without hesitation, and York Gordon secretly complained: When we discussed it, it was a decision made happily by everyone, but when it comes to taking responsibility, it is me who has to suffer alone?

"Your... Your Excellency..." York Gordon was suspended in mid-air, his cultivation sealed, and he tried to speak with great effort to explain.

Owen Bertram pointed from afar, and the Immortal Binding Rope tightened suddenly, leaving York Gordon unable to speak, his face turning purple-red.

Owen Bertram took out a small book, and the seven people shuddered as they recognized it as the notorious "Book of Hundred Punishments." Owen Bertram flipped through it page by page, saying unhurriedly, "I have always been magnanimous and don’t like to use torture.

Although you conspired to frame me, you haven’t succeeded after all, so you can escape death but not be exempted from punishment.

Let me see, which tortures are suitable for you..."

York Gordon was sweating profusely and struggling in vain, but the Immortal Binding Rope sealed his movement.

Is that what you call being magnanimous? We just had a thought; we haven’t even acted yet. You initially sent a group of Ghost Kings to scare us half to death, and now you want to torture us with the Internal Canon’s tortures...

If you really don’t like to use torture, what is the "Book of Hundred Punishments" in your hand all about?

Owen Bertram suddenly seemed satisfied: "This one!"

He tore off a page, threw it in mid-air, and burned it to ashes with flames.

In the flames and ashes, a sense of despair surged in the hearts of the seven - at this point in their cultivation, each one had had near-death experiences before.

Especially since joining the Horizon Bureau.

And this torture made them relive those near-death experiences over and over again...

This punishment would erase their previous memory, and the next time would still be a complete experience of despair.

No one knew how long it had been, but the seven had experienced it nine times! York Gordon, twelve times!

Finally, the punishment’s power was exhausted, and each of them became extremely haggard and weak, with more than half of their soul power drained, and their soul fire seemed to extinguish at any moment.

Owen Bertram pointed with his hand, and the Immortal Binding Rope disappeared.

Thump thump thump...

When the seven fell to the ground, although they regained their freedom, they all curled up and did not dare to move rashly.

Until now, they still did not know how the person in front of them, His Excellency, was going to dispose of them.
