Chapter 333: Chapter 312: The Four Strong (Part 1)_1

As they journeyed on, an increasing number of people were injured, but the members of the Lioyd Sect and the Scott Clan were growing more and more respectful and thankful towards Lord Algernon.

Owen Bertram was always able to foresee danger a step ahead, and after every injury, Lord Algernon would hand out miraculous medicines for treatment. Even if they were the same type of spiritual pills, the ones handed out by Owen Bertram were more potent by thirty to forty percent than what they had.

When the supply of spiritual pills ran out at one point, Owen Bertram immediately set up a furnace and began to make the medicine. It took him only half a day to produce three rounds of spiritual pills. The quality and speed of his alchemy were unprecedented among the people.

One day, they arrived in a range of perilous mountains. They heard the roaring sound of water from afar. Unbeknownst to them, they had approached the Great River. After climbing a peak, they could see the Great River twisting and turning between the mountains from afar, appearing like a wrathful dragon slithering on earth.

From time to time, formidable creatures would leap out of the water, all high-ranking demon beasts, ferocious and terrifying.

On the cliffside by the river, there were vertical patterns of brown-yellow. About a few hundred feet above the water, rectangular stone chambers had been carved out in some unknown epoch, giant and dark coffins could be faintly seen inside.

From high up, Magpie sent a strong warning to its Master: stay far away from there!

Just then, a giant Strange Snake, dozens of feet long with nine heads appeared. On each of its head, there was a luminous jewel.

Perhaps due to its confidence in its own strength, the creature swam along the mountain, climbed up the cliffs, and stuck its tail into one of the copper coffins.

With the naked eye, they watched as the Strange Snake stiffened, starting from its tail, rapidly started decaying. In a short amount of time, it lost the last of its vitality, and the nine jewels atop its heads shattered.

The corpse of the Strange Snake slid into the river, triggering a war of squabbles among the river monsters over the corpse.

The group watched, their eyes round and their mouths wide open in shock. The Strange Snake, at the very least, was a Tire-7 beast, akin to an overlord in the deep part of this Extinction Domain, yet it was dead at the mere touch of a coffin!

What peculiar things do those copper coffins harbor?

Owen Bertram exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Let’s go. Luckily, our destination is not this great river where the copper coffins lie."

Everyone carefully descended from the peak, subconsciously lightening their steps.

Around them, the Demon Clan and the Living Beings Sect remained unseen. At noon, they took a rest under an ancient tree, charred black and long withered, when Rachel’s Communication Talisman suddenly started beating.

Rachel said, "It’s from the spy I set up."

She took out the talisman, but to her surprise, a middle-aged man laughed coldly from within, "Rachel, Fourth Young Master of the Lioyd Sect, a brave and capable man indeed, daring to plant a spy in my Divine Strategy Alliance!"

Rachel’s face changed dramatically, "My person’s been compromised!"

The Divine Strategy Alliance" was a top-notch faction in the Wood Dynasty, newly founded thirty years ago with a diverse composition of members. Rachel had bribed one of them, who had been secretly passing messages to her.

But now that her informer had been discovered, his chance of survival seemed slim.

However, Owen Bertram didn’t seem to worry: "Since the other party reached out to you instead of setting a trap using your informer, there must be hope."

He patted Rachel’s shoulder, "Don’t panic, communicate with the other party, probe their intentions."

A little calmer now, Rachel lightly touched the Communication Talismans and said, "This humble one means no harm to the Divine Strategy Alliance. This person had been a good friend of my elder before the Divine Strategy Alliance was even established.

May I ask your name, sir?"

After a short while, the other party responded: "I am Sampson Owen."Rachel informed Owen Bertram, "The Alliance Master of the Divine Strategy Alliance."

He then activated the Communication Talisman: "My apologies to you, Master Sampson. The Woodward Sect has no intention of becoming enemies with your alliance."

This time, the response came quickly: "As the Master of this alliance, I’m well aware that your father hasn’t arrived. You have no Sixth Great Realm powerhouse to rely on. This matter can be either major or minor, and I do not want to get bad fame for using my power to bully the weak.

I can tell you this clearly: Now within Copper Gorge, without the Sixth Great Realm, you can forget about obtaining any treasure."

"Since the Centipede Ridge event, various forces have allied together, forming several large alliances. Each one has a Sixth Great Realm leader, and I am one of them."

"If you join us, I can spare your people. Moreover, as long as you follow our orders, we will work together to seize the Spiritual Treasure Embryo and other treasures. Everyone will be rewarded based on their contributions, you will not be shortchanged."

Rachel understood, it was a threat, then an induction for them to join. After receiving the signal from Owen Bertram, she asked: "What forces have joined in?"

Sampson Owen responded shortly: "The Red Sky Sect, the River Cleansing Sword Sect, and the Joshua Clan form one alliance, with Master Newman of the River Cleansing Sword Sect as the alliance leader."

"Monroe’s Followers, The Twelve Sects of Stele Mountain form an alliance, with Avery Devin, the honored guest of King Monroe’s Mansion as the alliance leader."

"The Lannister Sect forms its own alliance and has gathered other miscellaneous smaller factions. Frank, Pavilion Master of the Great Wind Pavilion is leading. He appointed himself as the alliance leader."

Hearing these, Rachel’s face took on an extremely serious expression.

The Red Sky Sect and River Cleansing Sword Sect both were first-rate Sects of the Wood Dynasty, their strength is even above that of the Lioyd Sect. The Joshua Clan is also a first-class family, no less than the previous Scott Clan.

Moreover, Master Newman of the River Cleansing Sword Sect had been known as the "number one talent in swordsmanship in the Wood Dynasty for the past three hundred years." Twenty years ago, he was already a peak powerhouse of the Sixth Great Realm.

With him taking action personally, naturally he was determined to get the Spiritual Treasure Embryo.

It’s said that Master Newman had three direct disciples. The outside world had always rumored that the swordsmanship talents of the first two disciples were not inferior to that of Master Newman.

However, Master Newman’s favorite was his youngest disciple.

The youngest disciple was excellent in all aspects, but unfortunately, his swordsmanship talent was average. Master Newman was likely aiming to get the Spiritual Treasure Embryo for that third disciple.

King Monroe was also a Prince of the Wood Dynasty. His wealth might be less than Prince Henry, but the strength of Monroe’s Mansion was not to be underestimated. Every generation of King Monroe had a fondness for cultivation. The guest chieftains of Monroe’s Mansion were all famous Grandmasters.

Over the years, who knows how many profound legacies and powerful Magical Instruments and treasures Monroe’s Mansion had accumulated.

Avery Devin was once a famous independent cultivator. He had become a Sixth Great Realm powerhouse on his own. After Monroe made three personal requests, he finally got Avery Devin to serve as the "Supreme Guest Chieftain" of Monroe’s Mansion.

There were only three guest chieftains of this status in Monroe’s Mansion.

The Twelve Sects of Stele Mountain were in fact a loose alliance. It’s said that 1,700 years ago, in an unnamed desolate mountain to the northeast of Vera County, the Vault of Heaven suddenly cracked and dropped twelve heavenly steles, each falling on top of the twelve mountain peaks.

Observing and understanding these steles could lead to obtaining supreme skills. Almost all the peak powerhouses that emerged in the Wood Dynasty in the three hundred years following that were related to these twelve Heavenly Steles.

Later, the twelve sects formed around these twelve Heavenly Steles. They first continuously fought each other until all the sects were weakened, and eventually realized they needed to unite.

As of today, although these twelve sects are far from as strong as they used to be, they still command strength comparable to first-rate Sects.
