Chapter 1278: Chapter 488: Not Playing by the Rules_3

As long as they were of the appropriate age, children could actively go to the city where the envoys were for an assessment.

As it happened, there was an envoy not far from Edgar’s home. Edgar’s uncle secretly took him for the assessment, not expecting his talent to be exceptional. He was immediately noticed by the envoy, who later became Edgar’s master.

Decades passed, and Edgar became the chief disciple of the Mountain Sect.

The Mountain Sect participated in this True Dragon Water Palace treasure hunt, and Edgar was chosen by Owen Bertram. He entered the Ancient Annihilation Domain first, alongside a Sangdao monk.

After passing through the void tunnel, the Sangdao monk suddenly drew a sword from under his armpit! The sword was longer and narrower, and it was steeped in poison with a five-layer Array to silence its approach. It was indeed a Tier-5 treasure, and with a swipe, it pierced Edgar’s body.

The Sangdao monk was quite pleased with himself but saw Edgar’s body burst like a bubble, his sword only piercing a clump of Water Ghost-like water grass.

The water grass quickly spread along the sword, and before the Sangdao monk could react, it had reached his arm and began to burrow into his flesh!

The water grass was also poisonous, and his arm instantly turned black and purple. Without hesitation, the Sangdao monk abandoned the sword, drew a dagger, and severed his whole arm.

Splurt—

Blood sprayed from the severed arm, and Edgar appeared on the other side of the Sangdao monk, holding up a heavy Great Seal aimed at the monk’s head.

In the outside world, the National Master sensed Owen Bertram’s gaze from afar, but she did not feel embarrassed. She calmly ordered, "Lincon, save him."

The second Sangdao monk to enter the Ancient Annihilation Domain immediately abandoned his original ambush plan. His left fist aimed at Edgar, but the real threat was the six crossbow arrow tubes that appeared around his fist. It was a powerful one-time-use Magical Instrument. As long as Edgar continued to attack the first person, he would be shot into a sieve by the crossbow arrows.

Indeed, Edgar stopped, and poised the Mountain Sect’s Treasure, the Mountain Seal, above the Sangdao monk’s head. But the cultivator from Wood Dynasty next to Lincon twisted her body into a brilliantly colored python. She swallowed Lincon with one gulp and bit down hard. Hearing a crunch, seven or eight of Lincon’s bones broke, and blood spurted from his mouth.

The first Sangdao monk to enter cursed and was about to rush to save Lincon when the Mountain Seal slammed down, and the two began to fight.

Unable to hold on long, Lincon was completely devoured by the colorful python. Owen Bertram calmly ordered, "Surround and kill!" The colorful python moved along the ground and suddenly split into eight clones, revealing that it was originally a large snake coiled around the woman’s arm, its body stretching forward and turning into eight heads.

The remaining one-armed Sangdao monk couldn’t withstand the onslaught, his body shattered into a pool of clear water before reassembling elsewhere. His breath now only reached the level of the Fourth Great Realm. He panted heavily, staring bitterly at the two.

The subsequent Sangdao cultivators swiftly entered but missed the opportunity to kill him. Owen Bertram clicked his tongue in regret.

Edgar and the woman with the snake coiled around her arm, Sally, stood side by side. They laughed and said, "As the great man predicted, the Sangdao people are cunning and despicable, always breaking rules to gain advantages. He knew you would launch an ambush as soon as we entered the Extinction Domain. If not for his warning, I would have fallen for it."

Edgar and Sally were triumphant, having killed one Sangdao cultivator and severely wounded another, reducing him to the Fourth Great Realm, which was as good as half-dead. Now, it was six against two in favor of the Wood Dynasty. The situation looked advantageous.

However, Owen Bertram heard Edgar repeatedly address him as "he", and although he knew it was an honorific, he felt awkward. He was several decades younger than Edgar!

The remaining Sangdao cultivators entered with hatred in their eyes but dared not make a move. The National Master outside looked at Owen Bertram and said, "I request that Sangdao add two more people."

Immediately, the people of the Wood Dynasty started protesting loudly: "Why? You were the ones who started the sneak attack. You’ve lost, and now you want to make up for it? No way!"

"We’ve heard that the people of Sangdao are shady, but we didn’t think their skin could be so thick."

"Such a beautiful old woman can actually say such shameless words."

Turning her face, the National Master’s gaze was as cold as a knife as she swept over the Wood Dynasty Cultivators. Her immense aura enveloped them, and their throats made a choking sound as they shrank like quails, unable to utter a word.

An Indestructible and Immortal aura emerged, forcefully pushing back the National Master’s aura. Owen Bertram had made his move, and the Wood Dynasty cultivators quickly hid behind him. Some cheeky girls even stuck their heads out from behind him and made faces at the National Master.

"National Master, this request is indeed unreasonable." Owen Bertram spoke up, while still maintaining his composure. He said, "We agreed on a six-person competition. I have only five Sangdao people in the Ancient Annihilation Domain, so why can’t I add more?"

Owen Bertram coldly sneered, "So if there are casualties in the subsequent exploration, should everyone continue to add more?" The National Master pondered for a moment and said, "Yes."
