Chapter 348: Chapter 321: Unexpected Things Always Arrive Unexpectedly (Three-in-One) _1

Early the next day, Cecil Owen gathered the leaders of each faction to decide on the team for today’s expedition.

Rachel tried her best to decline, which greatly annoyed Cecil Owen. He even used the pressure of the Sixth Great Realm to force the Lioyd Sect to join the expedition.

Rachel, a mere cultivator of the Fourth Great Realm, managed to stand firm against Cecil Owen! In the end, their confrontation almost escalated, as Rachel hinted at the true reason why the Lioyd Sect didn’t want to go: they were afraid of being cannon fodder.

Cecil Owen must have considered that starting an internal strife before the battle was not a good idea, so he swallowed his anger and didn’t punish the Lioyd Sect members on the spot.

However, as Owen Bertram had expected, Cecil Owen ordered two Fifth Great Domain cultivators from the Lioyd Sect to participate in the battle. Since the Fifth Great Domain cultivators are the backbone of their forces, they couldn’t doubt that Lord Owen would use them as cannon fodder, could they?

Rachel sighed secretly, knowing that this was already the best outcome she could get. She reluctantly accepted the order.

After the personnel were decided, Cecil Owen opened his Storage Brocade Pouch and distributed some Magical Instruments among the cultivators.

As a peak Sixth Great Realm expert and the leader of the Divine Strategy Alliance, Cecil Owen, of course, possessed a substantial amount of resources. Many of the cultivators’ Magical Instruments had been severely damaged the previous night, and now was the time to prepare for the final decisive battle by distributing these Instruments.

Although these Instruments were not of the highest quality, and there was no time to further refine them, they were still better than none. Right now, everyone was in a tight spot regarding Magical Instruments.

When everyone was selecting their Instruments, Cecil Owen was almost furious with the choices being made.

The Lioyd Sect was nitpicking when it came to assigning personnel, but when it came to grabbing the advantages, they were relentless! Among the Instruments, there were both good and bad. The two Fifth Great Realm cultivators from the Lioyd Sect didn’t bother to follow the order of selection and rushed forward to pick the best and strongest items.

The other factions complained a few words, only to be shut down by an Elder from the Lioyd Sect: You guys still owe us money for the Spiritual Pills! Pay us back before discussing the order of selection, or just wait quietly.

The Elder was already quite skilled at being a pest, or else he wouldn’t have successfully pestered Lord Algernon to teach him Mechanical Techniques.

After some discussion, the others couldn’t argue with the Lioyd Sect anymore.

Finally, after the Instruments were distributed, Cecil Owen saw that the appointed time was approaching and ordered the convoy to set off.

Aside from the Lioyd Sect and the Scott Clan, Cecil Owen left behind some people, mostly those with severe injuries from the previous battle who hadn’t recovered yet.

Owen Bertram personally climbed to the top of Lengbao and, estimating that Cecil Owen’s group should soon reach the Great Lake, immediately waved his hand, "Retrieve!"

Rachel and Emma Scott acted simultaneously, quickly withdrawing the Mechanism Beehive Fort and the Poison Shadow Oak into their hands.

Those people from other sects who had stayed in Lengbao were dumbfounded: One moment I was recovering from my injuries in my room, and the next, even my house is gone?

Owen Bertram took out his Token and shouted, "Summit Commander Owen Bertram is here!"

"All of you, as citizens of the Wood Dynasty, have been temporarily conscripted by me to fulfill an important mission. This matter involves the secrets of the Imperial Court; anyone who disobeys will be arrested!"

These people were even more dumbfounded: Isn’t this guy just a steward of the Lioyd Sect? How did he suddenly become the Summit Commander? Is his Token fake?

Some of them quickly realized that Owen Bertram started causing trouble as soon as Cecil Owen left. What are you trying to do!?

A disciple of the Divine Strategy Alliance stepped forward, "You...!"

Owen Bertram pointed his finger, and the Immortal Binding Rope flew out with a swoosh, instantly binding the person.

With an ill-intentioned gaze, Owen Bertram swept over the others, "Who else refuses to obey the order?"

A Fifth Great Realm cultivator who had been left behind due to injury stepped forward, "Even if the Imperial Court wants to conscript us, they should issue an official order. It’s not up to you, a Horizon officer, to just say what you want and have it be done!"

You’re just a Fourth Great Realm cultivator, and even though I’m injured, I’m not afraid of you!

The Immortal Binding Rope "swooshed" again and bound the Fifth Great Realm cultivator, who, to his astonishment, discovered that he had no power to resist the Rope! Even if he weren’t injured, he would likely have trouble resisting it.

Owen Bertram sneered coldly, "Excellent! This is the first time I’ve seen someone dare to blatantly belittle the Horizon Bureau. Which sect do you belong to? When we leave Copper Gorge, I will petition the General government to have a thorough discussion with your Sect!"

The Fifth Great Realm cultivator trembled secretly, fear in his eyes, realizing that he had brought trouble upon his sect.

Rachel eagerly approached, "Sir, he is from the Dragon Emperor Hall, the Junior Brother of Randolph."

Owen Bertram stood with his head held high, coldly sneering, "Good, very good! Dragon Emperor Hall, I’ve noted it down!"

The other people saw the situation and dared not resist anymore. They all bowed and said, "We are willing to follow Sir’s orders."

"Good, follow me."

The people of the Lioyd Sect and the Scott Clan escorted those in the middle, following Owen Bertram as they quickly marched away.

After a while, Rachel and Emma Scott realized something was off. Both of them exchanged glances and approached Owen Bertram, quietly asking, "Sir, this is the opposite direction of the Great Lake."

Owen Bertram nodded and replied calmly, "I know."

Both of them were even more puzzled, as Rachel asked, "We are not participating in the contest?"

They would just give up on the Spiritual Treasure Embryo and the Ten Great Treasures?

Owen Bertram solemnly and decisively replied, "Not going."

Rachel and Emma Scott were shocked: Are you just giving up? Then, what was the purpose of our arduous trip to Copper Gorge?
