Chapter 714: Chapter 423: Broken Mirror_4

He originally intended to use the same tactic, lying in wait around the village and ambushing the next group of Cooper Clan cultivators. However, the Cooper Clan wasn’t stupid and their Clan Leader was also very self-aware. He knew that in the eyes of the villagers, he was seen as a "Master" but in the Cultivation World, his strength was barely worth mentioning.

However, the Cooper Clan had extensive connections, and the Clan Leader immediately personally reached out and invited a "Grandmaster" from the Third Great Boundary to come to their aid. He also had several younger generations from the Cooper Clan follow, pretending to be another group sent by the clan to investigate the situation.

Walter was deceived and burst out from his hiding spot, only to be killed on the spot by the Third Great Boundary cultivator.

Afterwards, instead of reflecting on his mistakes, Walter’s hatred for the Cooper Clan grew deeper, and this resentment actually turned him into a malicious ghost. However, his strength was still weak, so he didn’t dare to cause more chaos for the time being. He temporarily restrained himself, waiting to grow his strength and then take revenge on the Cooper Clan!

As for where he obtained this Broken Mirror, it was not known in the Ghost Zone.

Owen Bertram finished reading Walter’s information, lightly rubbing his temples, somewhat troubled. The immense cause and effect hidden behind this Broken Mirror made Owen Bertram vaguely understand: In order to obtain the Broken Mirror, he had to meet Walter’s demands and make him willingly hand over the treasure.

He thought for a moment, and called over the Ghost Knight Leader: "You go talk to Walter and try to persuade him to change his demands. Whether it’s rare treasures or Spiritual Pills, I can provide them for him."

The Ghost Knight Leader accepted the command and left, it took a long time for him to return, ashamed: "I have failed your trust, we... tried all kinds of methods, but that fellow Walter is just a stubborn rascal, completely unresponsive to persuasion, and refused to agree to anything."

Owen Bertram silently sighed, thanked the Ghost Knight Leader for his efforts, then got up and left the Ghost Zone, flying towards the Village situated in the broad riverbank.

The Village was located along a branch of the river, with many fertile fields nearby. The Cooper Clan was well-known locally, and nearly forty percent of the nearby population were their tenants.

Lord Owen planned to check on the Cooper Clan first, and if they were hypocritical, looking good on the surface but two-faced, then he could take this opportunity to eliminate this harm and meet Walter’s demands as well.

However, the matter of enslaving the Fourth Young Miss and arranging a ghost marriage for her was something Lord Owen could never agree to.

With his Sixth Great Realm’s strength, investigating a small local clan like the Cooper Clan was easy, and no one in the Cooper Clan had any inkling of what was going on. Lord Owen soon grasped everything he wanted to know, but the result was still not what he expected.

The Cooper Clan were genuinely good people.

Not only were the circulated stories about them true, but the Cooper Clan had also secretly done many good deeds without bragging about them. Lord Owen investigated further and understood their intentions.

The Cooper Clan was a small hereditary family, and their ancestral cultivation method was quite shallow, at most capable of cultivating to the Third Great Boundary. However, generation after generation of the Cooper Clan were devoted to the Great Path, and they firmly believed that "a family that does good will surely be blessed." As long as they continued to accumulate virtues and do good deeds, they would eventually be favored by the heavens, hoping that one day their descendants would encounter a chance to obtain a higher level cultivation method.

Lord Owen couldn’t bring himself to take action against such a family.

Not only would he not take action... Not long after Lord Owen left, the Clan Leader of the Cooper Clan went to his study alone.

He had a habit of reading some heroic stories with a glass of aged wine after dinner in his study.

In the large study, most of the shelves were filled with various storybooks, all dealing with sword immortal heroes. When immersing himself in the stories, he would put himself in their shoes, even though his own cultivation level was ordinary in reality. In the stories, however, it seemed as if he was able to uphold justice for the weak and act as an avenger on behalf of the heavens!

However, today after flipping through a newly purchased storybook for a couple of pages, he found a small note written in the margins between each page.

Feeling curious, he connected these small characters and read them once, suddenly feeling a boom in his head, as if he had suddenly opened up some sort of "knack." His understanding of cultivators, cultivation, and the entire world was immediately completely different.

His long-stalled realm finally showed signs of progress.

He suddenly understood what he had encountered, and his heart was filled with wild joy! The Cooper Clan finally had a profound cultivation method! He excitedly held the book, studied this nameless cultivation method several times, and quickly assessed that it could be cultivated to at least the Sixth Great Realm, although reaching the peak would be difficult; however, it was easy to steadily cultivate to the Fourth Great Realm and above. This was already far beyond the current cultivation method of their clan.
