Chapter 305: Chapter 297: Living Beings Sect (Part 2)_1

Emma Scott and Sherry didn’t understand the hidden message in Rachel’s words, but Owen Bertram did.

Very few people knew about the "Living Beings Sect," and even in the Imperial Court, apart from the Horizon Bureau and the Guardian Hall, very few officials of the third rank and below knew about it.

The sect’s ideas were extremely bizarre, firmly believing in the unification of "all living beings."

That’s right, they didn’t mean the commonly heard idea of "equality among all beings", but the unification of all beings. They believed they had gone a step further than the concept of "equality of all beings". Whether it was the Demon Clan, wild beasts, mechanisms, Magical Instruments, or Talismans, as long as they were useful to oneself and could enhance one’s strength, they could all be "integrated" into one’s body.

Arms could be replaced with Mechanical Arms, heads with animal heads, skins with armor of Magical Instruments, etc. For them, it was not only acceptable but a highly sought-after ideal.

They didn’t promote their doctrine on a large scale, probably knowing that not many people would accept such an idea, but each of their believers was crazier than the next, transforming themselves whenever they had a chance.

And this crazy and bizarre transformation indeed led to a rapid growth in their individual strength.

Thirty years ago, the Horizon Bureau noticed this strange sect and had been closely monitoring it but without much success. Over the past five years, the activities of the Living Beings Sect had significantly increased, causing many tragedies in various places, but the Horizon Bureau still failed to capture any of the sect’s important leaders.

But now, these madmen have suddenly appeared in Copper Gorge.

Rachel hinted to Owen Bertram that her father had dealings with high-ranking officials in the Imperial Court and had a deep relationship with them, and that they even discussed matters related to the Living Beings Sect.

Owen Bertram understood her words but had no intention of responding, as he had no plans to do anything to the Lioyd Sect. He had come to save them primarily because he wanted to get rid of the madmen of the Living Beings Sect.

Making the Scott Clan and the Lioyd Sect submit to him was merely a way to avoid some trouble.

As for why he burned the members of the Living Beings Sect to ashes with Spiritual Flames... it was because, according to internal documents from the Horizon Bureau, these madmen were difficult to track down due to their flesh and souls being similar to evil energy and demon creatures, which caused great losses for the Horizon Bureau and made it difficult to find any clues to investigate them.

The first elder of Lioyd Sect boldly approached the Divine Heavenly Soldier, circling it while praising it: "Such a beautiful piece, a true masterpiece on earth, captivating and enchanting to the eye..."

Owen Bertram watched this fellow vigilantly, lest he impulsively do anything indescribable to his Divine Heavenly Soldier.

With a smile, the elder asked, "Sir, where did you get this Mechanical Puppet?"

"I refined it myself."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible," the elder shook his head in disbelief. "We know the Horizon Bureau is powerful, but we also know what level they’re at when it comes to Mechanical Techniques."

With an elder taking the lead, the other disciples all gathered around, shamelessly leaving the four injured Lioyd Sect members on the ground unattended.

It just so happened that all four had injured their legs, howling and calling for their acquaintances: "Help a brother out, pull me over there, I want to see too..."

A female disciple in her fifties couldn’t resist the temptation and, thinking Owen Bertram wasn’t paying attention, stretched out her sinful hand towards the Divine Heavenly Soldier.

But before her hand touched the Divine Heavenly Soldier, she heard a whoosh, and a Bone Dagger was pointing at her throat.

Instead of being afraid, the female disciple was excited and shouted, "The attack speed of this Mechanical Arm is amazing, truly amazing!"

Owen Bertram was speechless and without hesitation, he put the Divine Heavenly Soldier back into the Storage Brocade Pouch.

"Eh--" The Lioyd Sect members looked at Owen Bertram with regret, like a group of puppies waiting to be fed.Owen Bertram ignored them and said to the elder, "I made it myself, it has nothing to do with the Horizon Bureau."

"Oh?" The elder’s voice carried a hint of curve as he stroked his chin and asked a few questions about mechanical techniques. Owen Bertram knew that he was testing him, but it didn’t matter. He just casually answered the questions.

Only then did the elder’s expression turn serious, as he put forward a few more advanced questions. Owen Bertram answered half of them before he suddenly stopped.

The elder and his disciples were listening intently, but Lord Algernon stopped speaking, making the elder anxious. Owen Bertram smiled playfully, "Do you want to know the answer? You’ll have to become my disciples first."

At this point, the elder was seventy or eighty percent sure that the exquisite mechanical puppet was indeed crafted by Lord Algernon himself!

Of course, it was a joke to become his disciple. They would have to leave the Lloyd Sect first.

The elder immediately said, "Rest assured, my lord, even if we don’t get the Spiritual Treasure Embryo, we will definitely follow your command on this journey to Copper Gorge!"

"But on the way, we would like to discuss the art of mechanisms with you, my lord."

Owen Bertram smiled and nodded, "Of course."

The people of the Lloyd Sect cheered.

The people of the Scott Clan were not interested in mechanical puppets and could not understand the passion of these technical cultivators of the Lloyd Sect for the Divine Heavenly Soldier. After treating their own wounded, they also helped to treat the four injured members of the Lloyd Sect who had been left unattended.

Owen Bertram pointed forward, "Let’s continue."

Soon they entered the dangerous "ninety-mile" area, where everyone was cautious. Sherry didn’t dare release a large number of poisonous insects and only selected a few elite ones to scout ahead.

Owen Bertram called Rachel and Emma Scott to his side, and said to Rachel, "Although the fourth young master is young, he is calm and wise, and has quite a bit of prestige among the disciples, so I think it’s better for me to speak frankly about some things."

Rachel looked at Owen Bertram’s face: aren’t you younger than me?

"Please feel free to speak your mind, Lord Algernon."

Owen Bertram went straight to the point, "I want to know the real purpose of your visit to Copper Gorge?"

Rachel was about to say it was for the Spiritual Treasure Embryo, or some other treasure, but with Owen Bertram’s piercing gaze, she couldn’t speak out.

While she hesitated, Owen Bertram continued, "The Lloyd Sect is one of the top sects in our Wood Dynasty, and their sect leader is a hero of this generation. Don’t tell me that none of you had any doubts when Salome Tower suddenly offered the Spiritual Treasure Embryo as a reward.

With such treasures, no matter what the reward Salome Tower offered, outsiders who found it would not bring it to Salome Tower in exchange for a reward, but would keep it for themselves.

Why would Salome Tower share such important news with everyone for free, just to earn a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand in intelligence fees?"

Rachel forced a bitter smile and said, "Lord Algernon is truly wise."

After a slight pause, she continued, "My father had the same suspicion, so he specifically found someone with a high enough position in Salome Tower and paid a price to ask about the unknown inside story."

"This matter is not something Salome Tower can control. They were entrusted by someone else - a person who allegedly holds the power to reach the sky, personally sought out Salome Tower to release this reward.

All the information about the Spiritual Treasure Embryo was provided by that person. Moreover, that person stated clearly that he had calculated the fate, this is an opportunity for our Wood Dynasty, and it would fall into the hands of a young talent of our Wood Dynasty.

However, Salome Tower did not dare to reveal the true identity of that person and only mentioned that they’re from... the Seventh Level!"
