Chapter 326: Chapter 308: Getting More and More Complicated (two-in-one)_2

Sharon said, "Investigate the newly-appointed Summit Commander Owen Bertram of Wood Dynasty, and find out what ties he has with the Scott Clan and Lioyd Sect."

Spencer Aiden snorted unhappily, "Wait for my news."

Sharon was too lazy to talk to him more and immediately disconnected the communication.

Sinclair Blacktail asked from the side, "Do you still trust him? A chess piece that has lost contact for several months. In the Cultivation World, there are too many methods to control souls. You can’t tell the truth from lies even when facing them directly, let alone just through a Talisman contact."

Sharon cunningly smiled, "Of course I don’t trust him."

In fact, the intelligence from the Living Beings Sect came just at the right time. If it was a bit later, she might not know how to test Spencer Aiden without knowing about the battle and could possibly be deceived by him.

But knowing that Owen Bertram was involved made a big difference.

"Mr. Harris, you know Owen Bertram very well, and Spencer Aiden’s previous mission location happens to be within Owen Bertram’s jurisdiction. I highly suspect that Spencer Aiden has been captured by Owen Bertram, and it might even be Lord Algernon himself who just communicated with me through the Talisman!"

Mr. Harris also laughed, "You want to use their own plan against them?"

Sharon nodded, "If it’s really Owen Bertram, he must be using Spencer Aiden to give us false information and lure us out to be eliminated in one fell swoop. We can take this opportunity to kill this important figure of the Wood Dynasty in the upper reaches of the Summit! With Owen Bertram’s death, his jurisdiction will be in chaos and full of loopholes, creating opportunities for both us and for Mr. Harris’s group."

Mr. Harris nodded in satisfaction, "We chose the right ally this time."

Most forces entering Copper Gorge, like the Scott Clan and Lioyd Sect initially believed,

expected Centipede Ridge to be the most likely part of the Treasure Vein, and all headed in that direction.

But Mr. Harris reckoned it must be Duck Palm Beach.

For years, the Nine Witch Demon Court had been secretly sending people to investigate various Extinction Domains in the Wood Dynasty. They had advantages over human cultivators in the Extinction Domains.

Although the Demon Clan was unwilling to admit it, they were indeed closer to the Demon Beasts and suffered fewer attacks in the Extinction Domain. With the same level of power, they could delve deeper into the Extinction Domain.

Sinclair Blacktail was much more familiar with the various situations within Copper Gorge Extinction Domain than the Wood Dynasty.

Their alliance arrived earlier at Duck Palm Beach, and soon after, they found a team approaching Duck Palm Beach. Naturally, they wanted to ambush the powerful competitors first.

Those who could find Duck Palm Beach were all strong competitors in the treasure hunting process.

However, they didn’t expect that their carefully arranged plan, which was clearly superior in strength, would end in utter defeat. None of their men survived, and they only learned about the battle from the Living Beings Sect’s monsters.

Those monsters that returned alive were hiding underground and could only know an overview of the battle, lacking accurate details.

Sinclair Blacktail said to Sharon, "My group suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and this time we may have to rely more on your alliance."

Sharon didn’t comment, but secretly scolded the old demon for being cunning. However, she wasn’t so easily deceived either.

...

Owen Bertram returned to Duck Palm Beach, and the battlefield had been cleaned up.

The elder and others had been waiting at the top of the slope for a long time. As soon as Lord Algernon returned, they immediately gathered around him and said, "You didn’t abandon us."

Before you learn our Mechanical Techniques, you must not abandon us!

Owen Bertram only asked, "Have you predicted the direction of the Treasure Vein?"

Rachel replied, "We’re working on it."

The elder approached Owen Bertram mysteriously and asked, "My lord, are you really not curious about the tomb of the ancient Great Demon?"

Owen Bertram looked at the surrounding terrain, compared it with the mural in his memory, and found no similarities. He thought that the existence who entered Copper Gorge didn’t leave any records here, so he didn’t want to get involved anymore."Why not wait until we find the Spiritual Treasure Embryo and seize the treasures, then dig it up on our way back?"

The elder did not object. Their constant encouragement was purely because... their hands itched. It was a bit of a habit that when they saw such a large tomb, they just wanted to dig it open to take a look.

After they left, Owen Bertram finally had the chance to take out another spoils of war for research.

The Mulberry People’s White Bone Spirit Light Armor.

Upon inspection, Owen Bertram was quite surprised: "We can’t underestimate any creature in this world."

These white bones had been damaged, and some parts were full of fissures. However, after being left alone for a while, they had actually begun to self-repair!

The bone beads and white bones in Owen Bertram’s hands formed a set of exquisite armor that looked exactly the same as the one worn by the Mulberry People, but only two feet high.

Although they had started to self-repair, they had been placed inside the Storage Brocade Pouch previously, unable to contact the surrounding spiritual energy, so the speed was extremely slow, and only the fissures had begun to heal.

But after taking them out, the spiritual energy in the Extinction Domain was abundant, and the speed was obviously much faster.

"There is no spirit tool." Owen Bertram searched repeatedly, knowing that if there was one, this armor would be extraordinary; he might not be able to kill the Mulberry person even if he had exhausted all his means.

"But in the Magical Instrument, a method similar to Array and Talisman is used to pre-set a structure similar to the ’program’ of the previous life. After being damaged, it can absorb spiritual energy for repair."

"However, it can only repair some less severe damage - if this ’program’ is damaged, then the Magical Instrument is completely destroyed."

Owen Bertram was very interested and studied it carefully. Once he understood this, he could use it on the Divine Heavenly Soldier to give it some self-healing ability.

Lord Algernon was immersed in it, and in a blink of an eye, a few Shichen (2 hours) had passed.

Several cultivators responsible for deducing the direction of the Treasure Vein came over, saluted awkwardly in front of Owen Bertram: "Sir, we are incompetent."

Owen Bertram, whose research was interrupted, felt a bit emotional. He put away the White Bone Spirit Light Armor, frowned, and asked, "What’s going on?"

The few of them nodded obediently. Owen Bertram impatiently said, "Tell the truth!"

"Yes." They finally said, "The terrain here has been changed by the Great Tomb, which confuses our calculations. The results we get... there are more than a dozen possibilities."

Owen Bertram was speechless, inadvertently revealing some unhappy ferocity. He glanced at them, "Then you tell me, what should we do?"

Several people were about to kneel down, but Owen Bertram shouted, "Stand up and answer!"

The few of them hurriedly straightened up, looking at each other, not daring to speak. Owen Bertram randomly pointed at one, "You! Hurry up and speak!"

The man trembled, and with a mournful face, took a while to say: "Reporting to Sir, the best, the best solution is to, to dig open the Great Tomb and re-survey the terrain..."

Then, noticing that Algernon seemed to be displeased, he quickly added, "This is the consensus of everyone, not just my own opinion."

He then knelt down with a bang.

Owen Bertram looked coldly at the elder, who was also afraid, shaking his head repeatedly, "Sir, don’t misunderstand! It’s not my doing, I don’t have the courage."

"And besides, I wouldn’t dare to upset you. It’s not even certain what can be dug out of this tomb. You, on the other hand, are a master of Mechanical Techniques who is also willing to teach us. I’m not stupid; I can clearly see the pros and cons."

Owen Bertram believed his words but was still very dissatisfied with the incompetence of those who specialized in the Earth Vein Book. He said solemnly, "Get started as soon as possible."

"Yes." The elder hurriedly agreed, "Rest assured, we will find the location of the tomb as quickly as possible."

Owen Bertram naturally believed in the expertise of the Lioyd Sect in this matter. However, he still had other plans in mind.

In fact, the reason why Sharon and Sinclair Blacktail still stayed near Duck Palm Beach was that after Sinclair Blacktail arrived here, he found that no matter how he deduced it, something was amiss. The Treasure Vein seemed to suddenly "disappear" here, and he couldn’t find the next step, no matter what he tried.

He was known as a scholar in the Demon Clan, but he didn’t have the "craft" of the Lioyd Sect, so he was puzzled no matter how much he thought about it.
