Chapter 169: Chapter 167: Officiant of Heavenly Position (Part 2) _1

There are no fools who can cultivate to the Third Great Boundary. Thinking back, the Mountain Master’s arrival in Jaafar County did seem mysterious, and everyone always encountered inexplicable "crises." It is clear that he had offended some powerful beings in secret.

As for the current situation, after listening to the long explanation, the other eight quickly weighed their options and immediately abandoned their "loyalty" to Mountain Master. They got together and bowed, "Thank you, Predecessor."

"At least you’re not completely foolish," said the Mechanical Dao Soldier.

"I’m sparing your lives because you’re useful," he added.

The nine glanced at each other. At this point, could they even think about resisting? They all knelt down together, "We are at your service, Predecessor!"

"It’s our honor to be chosen by you, Predecessor."

The Mechanical Dao Soldier slowly nodded, "You don’t have to worry. Although I can’t appear directly, I am on the Imperial Court’s side, and your actions will be on behalf of the court."

Of course, the nine were worried. The Predecessor was keeping his head hidden, so was he some sort of hidden demon? Now that Owen Bertram had explained, their hearts felt somewhat reassured despite their doubts.

"Prince Henry plans to rebel. I am ordered by the Emperor to investigate in secret."

"We must not alert the enemy or expose the Court’s awareness of him. That’s why we can’t use the Horizon Bureau’s power. That’s why I chose you. Do you understand?"

The nine had only believed in it somewhat before, but now they were much more convinced.

They were not far from Henry’s Territory, and they had heard some rumors about him.

There were also some widely circulated rumors that the Horizon Bureau had several ancestor-level Officiants, but they rarely walked among mortals. This matched the person they now encountered.

Owen Bertram seriously doubted that this rumor was deliberately spread by the Horizon Bureau itself...

Owen, who was in the outpost, was now almost exhausted and collapsed on the bed. The Nine Swords of the Five-toothed Flying Sword, although not used at full power, had almost drained all his spiritual energy. If his cultivation hadn’t improved recently, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

Fortunately, they were successfully intimidated. Otherwise, they would have had to rely on the newly improved Gatling Version of the Slaying God Breaker and the Poison Sting Edition of the Spiritual Pomegranate Sniper used by the Mechanical Dao Soldier.

The nine were all in the Third Great Boundary, and they might be able to kill one or two, but Mechanical Dao Soldier might not do well against them.

In the valley, the Mechanical Dao Soldier raised his palm gently, and nine Spiritual Pills emerged.

With the unique fragrance of the pills, the nine’s spirits were instantly lifted, "This is...the Divine Seal Pill!"

These Spiritual Pills specially used for breaking through realms had always been the most precious and rare among all the pills, and they were effective for those below the Fourth Great Realm, making them suitable for their use.

Lord Prescott of the Horizon Bureau was once bought by Mountain Master using just one Divine Seal Pill as a bribe, risking exposing the Bureau’s secrets. This shows how precious these pills are.

As for the nine from Sword Mountain, Mountain Master had none of the Divine Seal Pills to spare, and even if he had, he wouldn’t have given them any.

However, the Predecessor now gave out nine at once!

"Want them?" the Mechanical Dao Soldier asked indifferently.

The nine nodded without hesitation. Every cultivator dreams of breaking through, breaking through, and breaking through again!

"Hehe," the Mechanical Dao Soldier sneered, "But under my rules, you will be rewarded only after you’ve achieved something! Do you understand?"

"Subordinates understand!" They responded with a fist salute, without showing any hesitation in changing their title. In the past, they only occasionally received some rewards from Mountain Master, but it was just some small fortune. They didn’t even dare to dream about such a treasure as Divine Seal Pill.

Not to mention, this generous Predecessor also showed a strong financial background. It was promising to follow him, much better than following the Mountain Master!

Go to Henry’s Territory and secretly investigate the Prince’s rebellion. Whoever finds the key clue first will get a step ahead to the Divine Seal Pill!"

Then the Mechanical Dao Soldier threw the Mountain Master’s Token out, "You can divide the property of Sword Mountain among yourselves first."

Sword Mountain’s main property was in the hands of the Mountain Master, and Owen would not give them access to the secret treasure hoards. But even so, the nine were already overjoyed, "We will give our lives for the Predecessor!"

As for why not directly control the nine with the Spirit Seed, it was not yet necessary. Owen didn’t need them to show any "loyalty" just as long as they dutifully investigated the case.

Also, the number of puppets that could be controlled by the Spirit Seed was limited. Owen’s current release of the Spirit Seeds had completely transformed only one being into a puppet: that magpie.

The rest of the Spirit Seeds were just inactive.

If everyone was fully puppet-controlled, Owen’s soul wouldn’t have been able to support them.

With the addition of the Bamboo Hat Woman and the Nine Heroes of Sword Mountain, there were enough people to investigate the Henry Case. However, Owen knew very well that these people were merely casting a wide net.

There might be unexpected gains, but they could not solely rely on them.

Owen planned to send the Mechanical Dao Soldier, which was actually an alter ego of himself, but there was still a weak point. Lying on the bed and having recovered a bit, Owen rubbed his chin and muttered, "I need... someone who can truly investigate."

Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow? No way.

Aunt? She won’t listen to me.

Scholar Constable? He can collect taxes, but as for investigating the case... No, next one.

Several people went through his mind, but all were rejected by him. Unconsciously, the sky brightened, and Ivan was already making a fuss inside the gourd, wanting to go out and play.

Owen found it strange that Ivan had never been up this early before.

Or to put it more appropriately, as long as he wasn’t hungry, Ivan wouldn’t budge. However, after eating the Giant Pangolin and the dark red giant stone, he was in excellent condition and didn’t feel hungry for several days.

What was going on today?

Little Loach urged him but didn’t say why.

After Elder Brother finished washing up, and Alexia prepared breakfast, Owen, who was still a bit weak from his "Nine Swords in One Night" challenge, had a huge appetite. Today, his sister’s breakfast tasted just like the one she made that time, not only extra delicious but also extremely nourishing!

In fact, it tasted even better, and Owen wondered if it was an illusion because he was too hungry.

However, he didn’t notice that throughout the breakfast, Matthew’s face was pale.

The meal had replenished the spiritual energy Owen had lost. He patted his stomach and complimented his sister, "My sister’s cooking is just so delicious."

Verna grinned happily and proudly, not feeling guilty at all.

Owen came out of the outpost and, as usual, went to the Gourd Vine. However, Ivan couldn’t wait any longer and leaped into the Hunshui River as soon as he got there, turning into a chubby black streak before plunging into the water with a splash.

Then, Julian Gourd trembled slightly beneath the Immortal Binding Rope, as if he were begging the Master. Ivan, who handled communications, told Elder Brother: let him go first.
