Chapter 1812: Chapter 658: Backstab_3

With the acceleration by the four Immortal Generals, they raced non-stop for eleven days! They traveled every corner of the Three Circles Immortal Domain, except for the dangerous places like the Immortal Tide.

Afterward, the four Immortal Generals, with gloomy faces, returned to the starting point without any gain.

Owen Bertram was initially delighted to deceive the four generals, but as the days went by and General Barlow remained elusive, he began to panic. The Immortal Venerables had already locked down the Three Circles Immortal Domain, and General Barlow couldn’t escape. He must still be in this world, but they couldn’t find him after almost a month. How could they explain it to the Immortal Venerables?

Even Emperor Venerable was paying attention to this matter!

Owen lost a lot of weight from the exhaustion, a rare occurrence in the Cultivation World. However, he realized that he was almost successful. Owen had long seen through the enormous task pressure of the four Immortal Generals. No matter how much they disliked him, they would still seek his opinion when they really had nowhere else to turn.

As expected, the four Immortal Generals returned to Ashbur’s city. Owen staggered through the sandstorms, looking weak and miserable. Of course, this was just him pretending. The more pathetic he looked, the more comfortable the four Immortal Generals felt, and the psychological resistance to asking their cunning enemy for advice would be reduced.

Owen felt emotional and thought to himself how difficult it was to beat King Monroe and the Great Sect Leader. He even had to put on a pathetic act.

"Hmph!" General Merlin snorted coldly, exchanged glances with his three colleagues, and nodded silently, planning to ask the cunning man if there was a way to find General Barlow. Suddenly, a shabby carriage rushed out of the city, and a man jumped out, landing in front of the four Immortal Generals with a thud, bowing deeply, "Please avenge my master, I know where General Barlow is hiding, and I am willing to guide you!"

The four Immortal Generals were overjoyed and asked, "Who are you?" "My name is Smith Thomas!"

Owen was stunned: King Monroe, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually betraying an ally too! Owen had been dragged around the entire Three Circles Immortal Domain by these four fools, and now Monroe was jumping out to reap the benefits?!

With King Monroe leading the way, the four Immortal Generals laughed triumphantly without even looking at Owen. Owen sighed and followed them anyway. No matter what, he was determined to get General Barlow’s Immortal Soul!

General Merlin and the others had a great impression of "Smith Thomas". This man was loyal and capable—if he weren’t, he wouldn’t have hidden nearby and recorded General Barlow’s killing spree without being discovered.

So they happily chatted with King Monroe along the way while Owen was acting maliciously. Even though nobody paid attention when he spoke, his seemingly casual comments successfully aroused the appreciation, especially from General Merlin. After traveling seven thousand miles, General Merlin had made up his mind to personally take Smith Thomas back to the Heaven Realm after killing General Barlow.

Although Smith Thomas was one of Arthur Beacher’s men, he didn’t know much about the power structure in the Heaven Realm, so they couldn’t just hand him over to Master Amos’s side.

King Monroe was puzzled: He had betrayed Owen, but why was Owen still helping him? Did he truly have such a big picture in mind, not caring about personal victory or defeat, only seeking the freedom of the Eight Desolations World from Heaven Realm’s enslavement?

However, King Monroe only felt ashamed for a moment before secretly suspecting: Is this guy trying to send me away on purpose so that he can be alone with the Great Sect Leader in this world?

As expected, King Monroe, who was exceptional, had been secretly paying attention to General Barlow’s movements. He actually managed to find General Barlow’s hiding spot, which was another dangerous place similar to the Immortal Tide. There were many such dangerous areas in the Three Circles Immortal Domain, and although General Merlin and the others realized that their opponent must be hiding in such a place, they couldn’t search them one by one.

But now that they knew the specific location, it would be easy. The four Immortal Generals took action together, carrying powerful artifacts gifted by Master Howard. However, during the battle, an unexpected accident occurred.

The dangerous place General Barlow chose was called Insect Abyss. To ordinary people, it looked like an endless swamp infested with poisonous insects, but in reality, it was a structure of void abyss with many demons and insects that could devour and poison immortals hidden inside.

General Barlow had an Immortal Artifact called the Clear Sky Pearl, which could see through illusions and purify all poisons. The first Divine Power could help General Barlow see through the complex void structure of the Insect Abyss, and the second could free him from worrying about various deadly poisons.

When General Barlow was running out of options trying to escape the pursuit, the void suddenly shifted, revealing a vast space within a mustard seed. A huge locust-like head emerged from the space and swallowed General Barlow whole before General Merlin and the others could reach him!

The void then shifted again, and the giant demon insect disappeared.

Of course, General Merlin and the others were not willing to give up. After desperate search in the Insect Abyss for seven days, they finally broke open a silkworm cocoon-like void and found the demon insect. After another fierce battle, they killed it, opened its belly, and found the corroded remains of General Barlow’s body, as well as a few corroded Immortal Artifacts.

General Merlin and the others didn’t doubt anything, and holding these items, they left the Insect Abyss and returned to the Heaven Realm to report.

Owen was left outside the Insect Abyss, and General Merlin and the others didn’t care about him when they left. With his strength, Owen obviously didn’t dare to enter the Insect Abyss alone.

Owen stood alone outside the Insect Abyss, watching the four Immortal Generals turn into a streak of light and ascend to the sky, and secretly let out a sigh of relief. If the four Immortal Generals had carefully examined the corpse of the demon insect, they would have found a Variant Kingston hidden deep in the demon insect’s brain!

Next to the light of the four Immortal Generals, there was a dimmer light—that was King Monroe, who had been taken back directly by General Merlin.

When they arrived in the Heaven Realm, the four Immortal Generals went to report. After waiting for a full three days, General Merlin came back to arrange everything for King Monroe, "I have asked Master Howard for a good future for you!"

Thus, King Monroe’s body was blessed with immortal essence, and he went through Immortal Thunder refinement, becoming a glorious Immortal! He was given Immortal Armor and Immortal Weapons, and he stood guard in front of Master Howard’s hall with seven or eight others!

His daily activities were limited to the Cloud Sea Square in front of the hall and his own military camp! Other immortals were envious, as having the chance to see Master Howard was indeed a great opportunity.

However, King Monroe was dumbfounded: If he wasn’t allowed to go anywhere, how could he investigate the Heaven Realm’s secrets? What could the ordinary immortals around him know?!

King Monroe cursed in his heart: Owen, the cunning one! He must have foreseen this situation, which is why he deliberately sent me up here. However, it was King Monroe who first "betrayed" Owen, so how could he blame Owen for resorting to dark schemes? King Monroe thought he was way ahead in this "competition", but he was ultimately trapped by Owen’s plot.
