Chapter 203: Chapter 201: Des Sect

Although this spiritual medicine gave Owen Bertram a feeling similar to that of the Baby, it did not possess the marvelous properties of the Baby, such as condensing the innate talisman.

It seemed it hadn’t completely matured yet but still had room for growth.

Even if it doesn’t grow properly, there wouldn’t be much loss, for he could simply pluck it out again.

After lingering in the Henry Mansion for a few shichen, Nathan Lane had completed his cultivation and dissipated the medicinal power; he had reached the Spirit Vein Level of the Spirit Body Realm.

Having stripped the Henry Mansion of nearly everything, an informant sent by Abner Lane came to notify Owen Bertram: Dragon Abyss had been found!

......

Seventy li outside of Prefecture City of Darnell Manor was one of the three major sects within Henry’s territory, the Des Sect. This was a sect that Prince Henry’s line had supported since their Ancestral Patriarch, having tremendous strength and loyalty.

Dragon Abyss was within a canyon behind the Des Sect’s mountain.

This location was not surprising; after all, entrusting the guardianship of so many treasures to the death soldiers cultivated by Prince Henry was not entirely reassuring.

Without resting, Abner Lane brought Owen Bertram and his knights and set off immediately towards the Des Sect.

In less than a Shichen, they had already arrived at the foot of the mountain gate!

This time, Abner Lane brought along two elders from the Sixth Great Realm. If the Des Sect chose to resist and perish with Prince Henry, he would oblige them.

The news of the battle within the Prefecture City had already reached the Des Sect. When they arrived, the mountain gate was tightly closed, and the mountain-protecting Great Formation was opened. Three fire dragons roamed back and forth within the light dome formed by the Great Formation, fiercely spitting out balls of fire.

There were already advanced troops stationed there, and letter of surrender had been sent in, but there was no response.

Upon arriving, Abner Lane wasted no time and shouted from a distance of thousands of feet: "I will give you an incense stick’s worth of time; if you do not surrender by then, I will break down the mountain gate and spare no one!"

This voice, piercing through the mountain-protecting Great Formation, vibrated the three fire dragons and reverberated like thunder throughout the entire Des Sect.

Nathan Lane had also come along, and he quietly asked Jamal, "Do you think the Des Sect will surrender?"

He had heard of the reputation of the Des Sect back in Levi County, knowing that the sect was quite strong, with top-level powerhouses in the Sixth Great Realm, and several strong Cultivators in the Fifth Great Realm. If they resisted desperately, it would likely be a tough battle.

Owen Bertram scornfully said, "They will definitely surrender."

Now that Prince Henry was gone, how could the Des Sect risk their entire sect? Over the years under Prince Henry’s wing, the Des Sect must have accumulated a wealth of wealth. If they yield to the Imperial Court and claim they were coerced, surely they could ride out this First Tribulation after paying some money in compensation.

Afterward, they could quietly grow their wealth and rise again one day.

Indeed, as soon as Owen Bertram finished speaking, the Des Sect did not wait for the incense stick’s time to finish, they immediately opened the mountain gate. The Sect Leader personally led a group of elders from the Fifth Great Realm in respectful greeting, "At last, we have been looking forward to the heavenly soldiers of the Horizon Bureau!"

"Although we were under the tyranny of the rebel prince, we did not wish to associate ourselves with him, but we were helpless and could only comply for the time being."

"Now that the cloud has lifted and the heavenly soldiers have arrived, we naturally offer our full cooperation to eliminate the remnants of the rebel prince!"

Nathan Lane couldn’t help but give a thumbs up to Jamal. Compared to those county masters he had seen before, this Des Sect was indeed an expert at switching sides with the wind.

However, Abner Lane wasn’t so easy to deceive. He immediately ordered the arrests of the Sect Leader, the law enforcement disciples, and other important figures, and only then did he lead his troops into the Des Sect.

They headed straight for the rear mountain, but along the way, Abner Lane issued orders one after another. The powerful men of the Horizon Bureau sealed all the halls of the Des Sect!

Lord Dunn’s new policy required a lot of money, and Prince Henry alone might not be enough. Since the Des Sect considered themselves loyal to the Imperial Court, they should also make a contribution.

The Des Sect used to cultivate Spiritual Flames, so the entire sect was filled with an atmosphere of dry heat. The rear mountain was even more burnt and bald, and the rocks were covered with spiderweb-like fissures.

The military officers opened the way and quickly reached the top of the canyon.

Looking down from here, it was pitch black below, with a fierce wind blowing fiercely from the bottom, making a sound like a ghost’s cry and a wolf’s howl.

If the cultivators focused their eyesight, they could pierce through the darkness and see a peculiar Great Formation arranged at the bottom of the valley.

The lines of the array were a deep red, emitting an eerie sense.

Upon reaching this point, Abner Lane suddenly decided to test Owen Bertram, pointing to the canyon below, "The death soldiers loyal to Prince Henry must be protecting Dragon Abyss. If you desire the treasures, would you dare go down and investigate?"

Owen Bertram glared at him and asked, "Can I take more items if I open the path?"

Abner Lane burst into laughter on the spot, "You’re a clever lad, knowing how to take advantage of a situation. Fine, you’re allowed one more item. I really do want to see what your fighting techniques are like."

Owen Bertram shrugged and dove into the canyon.

Nathan Lane was secretly anxious, but before he could stop it, Owen Bertram had disappeared into the darkness of the canyon.

After landing, Owen Bertram scratched his head, deciding he should ask David to get him some more manuals about arrays in the future – he really was behind in this respect, staring blankly at the Great Formation before him.

Shouldn’t he at least know a bit about arrays?

So what should he do now?

Owen Bertram scratched his chin, fox-like. Should he... rely on brute force?

......

Above the Dragon Abyss, Abner Lane said to David, "Since you’ve chosen to accept your loss, from now on, put your trust in him. I’ve checked him out, he possesses an aura of a dark purple color, signifying a great future."

Meanwhile, Nathan Lane, feigned interest in Owen Bertram’s actions below, while his ears perked up, eager to listen to Master Lane’s evaluation of Jamal.

Abner Lane didn’t expose him, paused, and then laughed teasingly, "But can’t allow you, my brother, to just let him have the advantage. I’ll first, let’s give you some satisfaction."

David, always jocular in front of Abner Lane, replied, "Master, you’re so considerate of me. So, you’re saying he’s going to suffer a bit down there?"

"He won’t be really hurt," Abner said. "From interrogating Prince Henry’s inner circle, we learned some things about the Dragon Abyss that I haven’t told him."

"Prince Henry has a group of loyal death soldiers who have been trained since childhood, each with the cultivation level of the Third Great Boundary, equipped with all kinds of high-ranking magical instruments, and even possessing secret techniques for explosive attacks."

"A portion of these death soldiers protected Prince Henry, and another portion is here, guarding the Dragon Abyss."

"Although the Des Sect has surrendered, we haven’t encountered a single death soldier along the way, making it obvious that they are all down there guarding. They are not going to surrender, and with Owen Bertram rushing down so rashly, he is likely to suffer a loss."

"He has never encountered death soldiers and does not know their madness. This will be a setback for him and an outlet for your anger - then you save him, this should help clear the air between you two and start off on a good note once more."

David was secretly moved, "Master, you’ve thought of everything for me. It’s my fault for being impulsive last time and not being able to serve under you anymore."
