My Divine Pet Enables Me To Become The Biggest Winner
Chapter 263 - 261: Invincible

Chapter 263: Chapter 261: Invincible

Instantly, the dungeon became chaotic. Ethereal Devin slowly sat down, and suddenly laughed: "I underestimated my master. Not only has he returned, but he’s not back to die either, he’s here to save the day!"

At this point, the morale within the Prescott Group was soaring. Owen Bertram instructed everyone on their tasks:

Half of them were to clean up the demon corpses, as they were all valuable Treasure Materials. The corpses killed by Owen Bertram would be his, and those killed by Old Fisher would belong to Old Fisher.

David had his eyes on the Monster Core that Master Jacob possessed, but he didn’t dare to ask his master for it. He was already beginning to feel a sense of loyalty as a "servant."

Moreover, his new magical instrument, the War Blade, still depended on his master.

The other half was using their Divine Powers to process the demon souls.

There were many ways to interrogate souls within the Cultivation World, and the Horizon Bureau was especially skilled in this area.

After being rescued by Lord Prescott, everyone was trying their best to perform well in front of Owen Bertram. In less than a Shichen (2 hours), the results of various interrogations were presented to Owen Bertram.

Owen Bertram looked through them one by one and compared them to the confessions from the other side. Finally, he had a rough understanding of the incident in Casterly County.

There were mainly several doubts about the Demon Clan:

The first one was about the whereabouts of the last group of Element-devouring Bees.

Tree Granny was responsible for raising and controlling the Element-devouring Bees. However, these demon beasts were quite unique. Even a Tire-5 Demon couldn’t fully control them. Tree Granny was like a human beekeeper; she could take advantage of the bees, but not completely control each Element-devouring Bee.

She brought three groups of Element-devouring Bees to Casterly County but never expected that once they were released, they would all gather on Bamboo Slope. She indeed released them near Bamboo Slope, and the Demon Clan once suspected that the remains of the Marco Clan and the Sky-piercing Spear were buried under Bamboo Slope.

However, at that time, the Black Soul Jar was still in transit and had not yet been delivered to the hands of the mastermind. The Demon Clan could not perform their searching techniques. However, they secretly conducted some excavations and used demon techniques to explore the underground of Bamboo Slope, ultimately finding nothing.

Tree Granny analyzed that the Element-devouring Bees had never seen bamboo like this before, so they were attracted by the bamboo and settled down right there...

However, before Tree Granny could disperse the three groups of Element-devouring Bees, the local County Magistrate discovered them and reported the incident, which could no longer be covered up. The mastermind confiscated the beehives but deliberately let the Element-devouring Bees continue searching in Casterly County.

Tree Granny herself used a kind of "sensing" among the Element-devouring Bees to determine their positions. She kept several hundred Element-devouring Bees from the three groups in her demon body.

Her demon body secreted venom, putting the Element-devouring Bees to sleep.

However, these Element-devouring Bees were also burned to death by Owen Bertram’s fire...

Owen Bertram gritted his teeth, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Tree Granny’s demon soul revealed that the last memory of the third group of Element-devouring Bees was at the Hometown River in Sanma Village. This group seemed to have not found their target yet and continued to move along the Hometown River.

The second problem was that the Demon Clan used the Leech Demon to perform their search for the Marco Clan and the Sky-piercing Spear.

Although the Leech Demon was not the most powerful among all the demons, it had the most unpredictable abilities.

It could hide itself from sight, wouldn’t die even when its body was severed, and had a soul-sacrificing demon technique. With a trace of ancient Sacred Blood brought by Master Jacob from the Nine Witch Demon Court, the location of the Sky-piercing Spear could be found.

This ancient Sacred Blood came from a brocade handkerchief used by Ming Solomon before his fall.

At that time, the Demon Clan’s Great Sage Ming Solomon was extremely weak, constantly coughing up blood – the weak Great Sage was eventually devoured by his eight descendants, with no blood, flesh, or bones left behind. Only this silk handkerchief was left out and became the only relic of Ming Solomon.

This silk handkerchief was the most precious treasure that the Demon Clan carried on this trip – Master Jacob, fearing loss, swallowed it into his stomach.

Now, it had been refined into a Monster Core along with Owen Bertram and its Demon Beast’s corpse.

If we don’t process that fellow’s stinking corpse soon, the surroundings of Looking Cloud Cliff will be filled with a foul smell, at least for a few months.

Owen Bertram flicked a finger, and the Monster Core rose into the air. It means that there is a trace of Ming Solomon’s Sacred Blood within this Monster Core!

However, having Sacred Blood is of no use since nobody could perform the secret technique of Leech Demons.

Moreover, the Great Ghosts inside the Black Soul Jar have already been contaminated by the Demonic Source.

Owen Bertram and David looked at each other, having an unspoken understanding that did not need to be voiced: now was the time to lure the Sixth Great Realm from King IIias out.

It’s strange that King IIias informed Yen Sihu that reinforcements from the Sixth Great Realm would come, but after that, Yen Sihu didn’t receive any further information.

It was like that Sixth Great Realm didn’t exist.

The fact that such a master wasn’t seen from the beginning to the end made Owen Bertram feel uneasy in his heart, always suspecting: Were they secretly watching us?

If the Sixth Great Realm showed up, Owen Bertram would have the confidence to fight with David even without the knife in his arms. But if the Sixth Great Realm remained hidden and secretly messing with them, even Owen Bertram would be afraid!

He went over his experiences in Casterly County since his arrival carefully, but he couldn’t find anything suspicious about the process.

Or any suspicious personnel.

Owen Bertram called a meeting to discuss with David, Old Fisher, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow, and Nathan Lane. He expressed his concerns and asked for everyone’s ideas.

Everyone shared their opinions, but in the end, it was Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow who was optimistic: "Let’s follow our own pace and continue searching for the third Devouring Element Bees Swarm."

If we find clues to the Marco Clan and the Sky-piercing Spear, that fellow will definitely show up!

If we don’t find anything, the case here is closed. We report as usual, and maybe that fellow seeing losing the battle gives up and goes back into hiding."

"Don’t you think that even as a Sixth Great Realm, he might not be willing to expose himself if the matter is unattainable?"

Owen Bertram and the others were startled. A Sixth Great Realm would go back empty-handed because of concerns about exposing itself? Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was optimistic, but the others wouldn’t think that way. However, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow’s words enlightened Owen Bertram from another perspective.

Since we can’t find or guess who the Sixth Great Realm is, we should focus on our own tasks first.

I have Master Lane’s knife; I should trust Master Lane. He is not only the Commander of the Southern Prison but also a newly-promoted Seventh Level. If he says this knife is enough, then it must be enough!

You don’t need to show up. I’ll keep investigating. When I find the Marco Clan and the Sky-piercing Spear, we’ll see if you show up or not! As long as you come out, I’ll give you a strike with my knife!

Just as Owen Bertram was about to give orders and call in personnel to follow him to Sanma Village’s Hometown River, Nathan Lane suddenly crossed his arms and frowned: "There’s someone... I’ve always felt uneasy about. You guys go to Hometown River, and I’ll secretly investigate him."
