Chapter 960: Chapter 488 - Abyss_2

No one would have thought that a noble cultivator would be reduced to doing such laborious work as pulling barges. By following the porters’ team, he could smoothly reach his next destination, change his identity, and arrive at the southern border in no time. He had heard that war was raging there, with many vengeful spirits - an ideal environment for his cultivation. Moreover, the turbulent political situation in Nanni Nation was conducive to his concealment.

That night, the fleet and porters rested at a ferry crossing. The shipowner who hired them was quite conscientious; although the food provided was not very good, it was generous enough to satisfy the laborers.

However, the accommodation conditions were truly appalling. A large shared bed was laid out with torn mats. Dozens of people squeezed together, not only feeling extremely hot but also at risk of being scratched by the broken mats. The snoring, combined with the smell of sweat, utterly disgusted Master Admire. He sealed off his senses and finally managed to fall asleep.

In his sleep, Master Admire suddenly awoke to find himself suspended in mid-air, unable to move, and astonishingly having flown dozens of miles!

He struggled to turn his neck and eyes to see who exactly was holding him up front but was unable to do so.

All he could see were the dark clouds in the sky rapidly sweeping past him. Master Admire was terrified: How was he discovered? Since when did the Horizon Bureau become so formidable?

After a while, Master Admire suddenly realized something was wrong: Why is this person continually dragging me along? If it were someone from the Horizon Bureau, they could have quietly captured me and using any yamen for interrogation.

But if it weren’t someone from the Horizon Bureau, who could it be? They shouldn’t be running for this long. If they wanted to ask me something or get something from me, they could have taken me to a secluded place in the wild and put me down.

"No, someone is chasing this fellow from behind, and he dares not stop!"

However, Master Admire couldn’t see the situation behind him and didn’t know whether his judgment was correct. He was held down and continued to flee just like that. As daylight approached, Master Admire found himself suddenly stopping.

A voice came from a distance: "Your Excellency, why don’t you run anymore?"

This voice was unfamiliar, and Master Admire was convinced that he had never interacted with this person before. Then, he was suddenly grabbed by a force, a big hand gripping his neck from behind, turning him towards the rear. He still couldn’t see who was holding him hostage, but he saw an elder of medium height and a mature, charming beauty chasing from behind.

The one who just spoke was the elder.

Master Admire felt an intense force rapidly imbued into his body from the hand around his neck. His cultivation of the Third Great Boundary was manipulated at will by the other party.

He was familiar with this intense power: it was the divine power of the Red Barbarians!

The man behind him spoke fiercely, "Stay back, or I’ll obliterate this fellow’s body and soul, and you’ll never know what kind of arrangements my God has made!"

Lord sneered, "Do you think you can still escape? Look at the Mechanism Flying Vehicles behind you, with more than thirty Large-scale Magical Instruments on them. It’s just the Power of the Five Mountains - who gave you the courage to make trouble in my Wood Dynasty’s territory?"

Master Admire understood, so that’s why this fellow stopped - they were blocked ahead and chased from behind.

The Power of the Five Mountains was quite helpless too. He didn’t expect this emergency mission given to him by the Holy See to be so dangerous. Neither he nor Lord knew that the Holy See originally wanted Lady Ilda to handle it personally, but Lady Ilda refused to enter the Wood Dynasty again before her injuries had healed.

So they could only use the Power of the Five Mountains, who was hiding in the Wood Dynasty.

He used the Divine Artifacts to locate Master Admire and quietly took him away in the night. Overconfident, Master Admire closed his senses to sleep, inadvertently making it easy for him - otherwise, Master Admire would have been alert and resisted.

"Let me go!" the Power of the Five Mountains gritted his teeth. "Just take me to the border between the Wood Dynasty and Nanni Nation, and I’ll hand this man over to you."

Lord considered it for a moment and said, "If you try to cheat me, even if I have to search the entire Nanni Nation, I’ll find you and have your body shattered into pieces!"

Lord boarded the Mechanical Flying Vehicle and followed the man behind. The man, holding Master Admire, flew south. The divine power on Master Admire was sealed, but the other restraints were released.

"Your Excellency..." he said, "We are on the same side."

"Shut up!" the man scolded. "You fled with my God’s treasure, and you deserve to die a thousand deaths!"

"It was the actions of your Lord Bishop and his subordinates that led the Horizon Bureau to take action. I had no other way to contact you, so I could only protect the treasure temporarily and hide. If I had the opportunity to contact you, I would have handed the treasure over with both hands. My cooperation with Lord Bishop was originally quite pleasant..."

No matter how he tried to justify himself, the man simply did not believe him. Even if he did, he had no intention of letting him go, as he was the only bargaining chip the Power of the Five Mountains had to save his life.

After a day of flying, they reached a certain spot where the Power of the Five Mountains suddenly felt an immense power descending from the heavens. He secretly cried out in alarm, but it was too late to react, as this great power had already suppressed him, rendering him immobile.

Master Admire also realized that he was back in a "sealed" state, but this time the one who made the move was even more terrifying. Even his thoughts were sealed and he could no longer think.

Official Sun snorted coldly in the distant sky, and Lord immediately jumped down from the Mechanism Flying Vehicle and snatched Master Admire away. With his eyes wide open and completely immobile, Master Admire thought of how just a few days ago he was secretly proud of himself, feeling as if he had played the Horizon Bureau for fools. But now, he was like a lifeless object, fought over and snatched away by others, his fate entirely out of his control.
