Chapter 489: Chapter 361: The Stray Dog in Front of the Palace Gate_2

Wayne Malvin couldn’t help but feel curious. Owen Bertram had a hard time walking alone, so could he manage with the addition of thousands of people?

Then he saw Owen Bertram dragging a huge plant, resembling a porter carrying a heavy load. His entire body was bent like a bow, almost crawling on all fours while moving slowly!

The surrounding malicious power storm continuously washed over his body, making him weaken rapidly. The once vibrant green plant began to wither and turn yellow under the impact of the storm.

But Owen Bertram still dragged everyone slowly and step by step, leading them towards the exit of the valley.

Wayne Malvin glanced at the other young talents who already had tears filled their eyes!

Owen Bertram was forced to act, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain himself to those in the Sixth Great Realm after leaving the Short-lived Valley. Fortunately, the Short-lived Valley cooperated, and these trapped cultivators felt as if their life’s fire might be extinguished at any time, but it would never actually go out.

The Short-lived Valley even made them feel as if their life force was rapidly waning, but after leaving, these cultivators would be like they had just overcome a major illness. Completely draining their spiritual energy would actually stimulate their deeper potential.

With great difficulty, Owen dragged everyone through the arduous journey, and the young cultivators were moved to tears. Remembering his previous attitude towards Owen, Wayne Malvin felt extremely guilty and unworthy.

Outside the Short-lived Valley, Colby Dominic didn’t dare to place all his hopes on Owen Bertram alone. He was still trying to find a way to enter the valley but was repelled by the valley every time, making him increasingly anxious.

Suddenly, Nick Liam shouted, "Look!"

The energy wall surrounding the entire valley suddenly rippled and turned into a whirlpool. A figure struggled to crawl out of the whirlpool, it was Owen Bertram!

Several of the Sixth Great Realm cultivators were dumbfounded and momentarily forgot to react. It was Ferdinand who quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Quick, help!"

Owen Bertram was wrapped in withered yellow vines, dragging something behind him.

The cultivators in the Sixth Great Realm took action, pulling Owen Bertram outside while also pulling out a group of weak young cultivators tangled in the vines.

Colby Dominic’s heart tightened, and he felt a mix of hope and fear, afraid of being disappointed.

He hastily helped pull the entire plant out and then quickly searched through it. Nick Liam cursed before quickly feeding Owen several High-Level Spirit Pills, allowing Owen to slowly recover while panting.

Lawrence Charlton, who had been monitoring the Short-lived Valley, exclaimed excitedly, "There’s a change! Our judgment was correct, it was due to the influx of high-level cultivators, causing the valley’s power to become chaotic."

Owen Bertram had brought out thousands of people, and the Short-lived Valley showed signs of recovery!

"Son!" Colby Dominic cheered, pulling Wayne Malvin out from the vines, almost shedding tears of joy.

Wayne Malvin laid weakly in his father’s arms and whispered, "Father, don’t worry, I’m fine." Colby Dominic couldn’t help it anymore, and tears fell from his eyes.

Owen Bertram appeared very weak. In fact, it was incredibly awkward. It was clear that Colby and Wayne were displaying genuine emotion, which unexpectedly made Owen feel a little bit guilty!

Nick Liam was furious. He was trying to take revenge on Wayne Malvin, but instead, he facilitated a father-son reconciliation and broke ice that had been frozen for decades!

Owen Bertram struggled to stand up and said, "Let me make a few more runs. The Short-lived Valley should be able to return to normal."

"Absolutely not!" Ferdinand and the others stopped him, while Evans Graham and Lawrence Charlton gave him a thumbs up. Praise didn’t cost them anything, so why not give it? "Owen is truly virtuous!"

Owen waved away Ferdinand who tried to stop him, saying, "I know what I’m doing."

He reached out to Nick Liam, asking, "Sir, can I have a few more Spirit Pills?"

Nick Liam didn’t realize he had become an unintentional source of Owen’s resources, so he generously handed over an entire bottle. Owen laughed to himself and, with the attitude of a righteous hero, entered the Short-lived Valley once again.

On Owen’s second trip, he brought out another thousand cultivators. By then, the sky was completely dark, with bonfires lit all around. Wayne Malvin had regained some strength but was too ashamed to face Owen Bertram.

When Owen went to the valley for a third time, Wayne Malvin quietly told Colby Dominic, "Father, remember to give the promised treasures to this man."

By now, Colby Dominic had recovered from his previous emotional turmoil. His years of experience in the Horizon Bureau led him to harbor some suspicions about Owen Bertram. As his son spoke, Colby glanced at him. He had indeed planned to delay or avoid giving out the promised treasures, especially the Precious Rhinoceros horn.

Wayne Malvin understood his father’s intentions and whispered, "After giving him the treasures, I can face him without guilt during the Dragon and Snake List competition—-since he came to rescue me just for these treasures."

"If we hold back on giving them to him, I’ll feel hesitant when I face him in the Fighting Techniques competition. I must tell you, Father, I was quite aimless when participating in the Dragon and Snake List because of my previous indulgences."
