Chapter 997: Chapter 498: The Revival of the Supreme Treasure_2
These two little fellows were like Mr. Owen Bertram’s children, so he was deeply worried. Even the extremely precious Gonggong Miracle Stone didn’t weigh much on his mind, and he casually threw it into Joseph Gourd’s belly.The goal of Sang Island was the Gonggong Miracle Stone, the goal of the Demon Clan was the Bloodstain Mosquito, so what was the goal of the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region?
But now Mr. Owen couldn’t find any traces of the people from the Northern Region, so he thought for a moment and issued an order to Greystone: "The spies in contact with the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region, don’t bother with a long-term plan to catch a big fish, just arrest them all for interrogation. I need clues. Tell the military officers below to show their abilities. Whoever can interrogate the key clues, wealth, cultivation techniques, and prospects, I can give them all!"
For some reason, the absence of the people from the Northern Region made Mr. Owen feel vaguely uneasy, as if it would involve some major cause and effect.
Boundary Flower, Mesmerizing Demon, and Chaotic Demon continued to search in the Country of Mourning with several hundred survivors, while Greystone, still confused, passed the order back to the Horizon Bureau.
The Old Fisher was the one handling it. When he heard this order, he understood Mr. Owen’s intention. This was clearly to let the military officers use ruthless torture to force confessions!
Mr. Owen rarely issued such orders.
Old Fisher had been following Mr. Owen for many years and had a certain understanding of his character. For example, when Mr. Owen was stationed at East Immortal Lake, he didn’t stop the cultivators from entering the Country of Mourning: You haven’t violated any law, so the Horizon Bureau can only advise against it, not forcibly stop you.
But of course, Mr. Owen wasn’t happy about it. So, it wouldn’t be easy for them to leave, and he would cleverly charge them a road tax and scrape off a layer of their benefit - this extra layer was for resettling the displaced people.
After the cultivators encountered increasing danger and changes in the Country of Mourning, they couldn’t escape by themselves. Although Mr. Owen would certainly curse them, "Pity has its reasons", he would still try to save as many as possible after all they were all the people of Wood Dynasty.
Moreover, Old Fisher was sure that, once saved, Mr. Owen would not let them go easily, even more ruthlessly than the "road tax". In Mr. Owen’s mind, this was called "one code to one code".
Originally, the plan for the several spies colluding with the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region near East Immortal Lake was to keep a low profile and set up a long line to catch a big fish.
Some of these spies had conclusive evidence against them, while others were just suspected. However, Mr. Owen gave a harsh order because, to him, "colluding with the enemy" was a serious crime, and nothing was too severe for such scum!
Old Fisher immediately set off with his men, arresting the entire families of the three spies with clear evidence against them. As for the other two suspects who had no solid evidence, they only arrested the key figures and left the rest on-site under surveillance, forbidden to leave without permission.
Now it was up to the skills of the military officers conducting the interrogations. What kind of backbone could such spies have? They quickly started talking. The real display of skill was whether they could squeeze out all the information they knew.
The next day, information was gathered and delivered to Mr. Owen: The witch priest from the Northern Region was named Lachlan Ashen, from a special place called Heavenly Witch Altar among the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region. This was the sacred land of the witch priest’s inheritance in the Northern Region, and all the Great Witch Priests of each tribe came from there. The real witch priests who could come out from the Heavenly Witch Altar and walk in the world were at least from the Fifth Great Domain. This place gave birth to almost all the Sixth Realm Great Witches of the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region!
Lachlan Ashen was the outstanding figure of this generation in the Heavenly Witch Altar. Even the three Great Witch Priests by the Great Chieftain’s side were extremely respectful to him.
He came to the Country of Mourning with a heavy responsibility, able to directly communicate with the Great Chieftain. From this, it could be seen that the goal is definitely not limited to the various resources in the Ancient Annihilation Domain but possibly to create chaos in the Wood Dynasty.
Among these families, a total of seven cultivators entered the Country of Mourning to assist Lachlan Ashen. However, Lachlan didn’t keep them by his side and let them disperse to look for a mysterious "Soul Roaming Nest", reporting with the communication talisman once they had clues.
The list of the seven cultivators, as well as their appearance, characteristics, and mastery of magical instruments and divine skills, were all listed on a register.
Owen Bertram snapped the register and passed it to the Mesmerizing Demon: "Look for them, see if these people are mixed with the cultivators following you."
Then Mr. Owen rubbed his chin and communicated with the King of Souls through the Commander’s Token: "Have you ever heard of the Soul Roaming Nest?"
The King of Souls was an expert in the matters of ghost spirits. He replied, "I know a little, actually the Ghost Soldier Camp and the Soul Roaming Nest are somewhat similar. But the Ghost Soldier Camp cannot give birth to roaming souls, which is the most critical standard for a Soul Roaming Nest.
A real Soul Roaming Nest can attract the nearby wandering ghosts to fly in automatically, and then erase all their memories in the nest, further becoming roaming souls with only instinct left.
These roaming souls just want to reincarnate, and if there is no way to reincarnate, their instincts can’t be satisfied. The longer they are delayed, the more ferocious their nature becomes.
In this state, once they see a living being, they will attach themselves to it regardless of the consequences, which is the same as reincarnation for them. However, the original soul of the living being will be torn and devoured by them.
After occupying the body, they still only have instincts and don’t know how to be a person at all. And the number of wandering souls in a Soul Roaming Nest is usually huge, so if an ancient Soul Roaming Nest is opened, the consequences will definitely be a great disaster."
Owen Bertram’s heart grew cold; Lachlan Ashen’s search for the Soul Roaming Nest was obviously not to help the Wood Dynasty address this hidden danger.
