Chapter 400: Chapter 338: Dream of Hegemony Shattered _3

The flying sword’s speed did not decrease, gradually approaching.

"It will plant a dandelion seed in us. Besides me, I know of three others controlled by the dandelion, yet I don’t know their identities."

"The dandelion seems to have great influence. Since encountering it, I have not been truly attacked by powerful demon beings in the Extinction Domain."

"We bring news from outside the Extinction Domain, and the dandelion rewards us according to the importance of the information. Each time, it can at least help me advance one small level."

"Although it didn’t say it outright, I can guess that we need to be at least in the Fifth Great Realm before it entrusts us with real tasks, which should be outside the Extinction Domain."

Nolan Gordon confessed continuously, but the flying sword still came slowly. Seeing that it was only a foot away from his forehead, Nolan Gordon broke into a cold sweat, exerting his brain to recall every detail of his communication with the dandelion. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "That thing wants to transform into human form!"

Finally, the flying sword stopped.

Nolan Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "In my last few interactions with it, I vaguely sensed a blurry image. At first, I didn’t pay attention, but recently I noticed that the image it left in my mind is becoming more and more humanoid."

Owen Bertram was indeed interested. The demons could transform into human form after cultivation, but demon beasts and demon beings could not.

However, after that, Nolan Gordon couldn’t say anything else, as this was only his bold speculation based on the blurry image the dandelion left in his mind.

So the flying sword resumed its forward motion, and Nolan Gordon’s mental state had completely collapsed. Just before the flying sword approached his forehead, he yelled, "Wait, wait! Sir, I remember now. Although I don’t know the exact identities of the other three people, one of them must be from Topeka Hall. He wears clothes with the Topeka Hall emblem... "

The flying sword stopped once again. Owen Bertram asked indifferently, "How often do you go to see that demon being?"

"The demon being did not specify a specific time, as long as we bring information, we can always be rewarded. However, one time I had a problem with a spiritual medicine sale, which delayed my visit for about a month and a half. I started to feel my cultivation was unstable, so I guess... it cannot exceed two months."

Owen Bertram thought for a moment and waved his hand to Nolan Gordon, "Wait for this official to confirm the authenticity of the information. If it’s true, you’ll live. If it’s false, you know the consequences."

"It’s true, it must be true."

Owen Bertram didn’t listen to him anymore, as someone came in to drag him away.

Someone from Topeka Hall was colluding with the demon being? It sounded far-fetched, but even in powerful factions, there were always disgruntled underdogs.

Topeka Hall had a rich business background, doing extensive business. Apart from talismans and banking, they also dabbled in the field of alchemy - they were even the largest buyers for the herb gatherers in domains like Copper Gorge Extinction Domain.

That’s why they were willing to spend 1.5 million Spirit Jades just to have a good relationship with the Summit Metropolitan Office.

Before, Owen Bertram tried various ways to test Nolan Gordon, only to find out that he couldn’t detect the dandelion puppet seed hidden in Nolan Gordon’s body under normal circumstances.

"This demon being has made great progress compared to when it could only send out puppet demon beasts. I could tell at that time that the demon beasts had become puppets, but now I can’t."

This meant that he couldn’t order Topeka Hall’s people to gather and be examined.

"Then we have to wait for the opportunity."

Fortunately, the longest was only two months. Owen Bertram suspected that if that person was indeed from Topeka Hall, they must be ambitious. The higher their realm, the higher their position in Topeka Hall, so they wouldn’t have the patience to wait two months for each visit.

Owen Bertram contacted Nathan Lane using a talisman, "Prepare a list of Topeka Hall personnel who are stationed near the Copper Gorge."

"Yes."

...

After accomplishing Owen Bertram’s task, the hunting team continued to hunt demon beings. Enoch took the initiative to lead his team to escort Nolan Gordon and the others back to Looking Cloud Cliff.

Owen Bertram was worried about accidents on the road leaking information, so he secretly ordered David and his men to enter the Extinction Domain for support, and then left to search for the dandelion demon beings.

He stopped about twenty miles away from the valley and ordered the Divine Heavenly Soldier to hide outside the valley entrance for surveillance.

Additionally, he called back the magpie.

The magpie, the crocodile demon, and Calvin’s fundraising operation in Lake Mature Region proceeded smoothly.

Calvin had an air of fearlessness when facing powerful officials, and he harbored resentment towards the corrupt government officials in the Lake Mature Region. When he arrived in the area, he had a sour expression and spoke very offensively which caused the fundraising talks to break down on the first day.

Local officials stormed out in a huff: Who begs like this?!

But soon, all along the river, "demon beings" began to cause trouble, coincidentally affecting local officials and nobles. They panicked and came back to question Calvin, "Your boss is responsible for guarding Copper Gorge, how can he let demon beings pass?"

Calvin retorted bluntly, "You don’t want to donate generously. What should my boss use to fight the demon beings?"

"If you’re not satisfied, file a complaint with the Imperial Court. Whoever has the ability should be in charge of the Commander of Summit!"
