1189: Chapter 463: Ghost Chariot Guard 1189: Chapter 463: Ghost Chariot Guard Sister Liam quickly sent information about the five founding dukes and the five powerful individuals stationed at their manors; the information was even more detailed than what Andrew Oamond had obtained from the General governnt.
Master Sun could even see that so extrely secretive and precious parts of the information were very likely collected personally by Lord Liam.
This was precisely why Master Sun had made a special trip to ask Lord Liam for help.
Although Lord Liam is the Commander of the Beiyu Town Command, she had spent most of her ti in the Capital––after all, Master Liam claid to miss the Empress and would often stay in the Capital as a result.
As for why she frequented the pleasure quarters, she said it was because she couldn’t bear to be away from her sisters there.
However, Master Sun always believed that the real reason was that there was soone in the Capital––Master Liam would definitely investigate these super-powerful individuals in the Capital, because their power was clear, and only these people were worthy of being the opponents of Master Liam and a certain Master Lane, whose na was unknown, when it ca to fighting techniques.
The Horizon Departnt would collect information on the five founding dukes’ mansions, but the information would be rather general.
Master Sun couldn’t help but laugh after looking through the information, thinking that Sister Liam’s personality was truly…lovable.
In her report, among the five powerful individuals stationed at the manors, it was precisely the one from Duke Liam’s Mansion who was the most unscrupulous.
The other four were sons-in-law, who, although not world-famous back in the day, were talented for a ti.
These people not only had extraordinary talents but were also disciplined.
Even after being forced into their marriages and becoming sowhat decadent and disheartened, they would not act recklessly.
However, as soon as Alex Liam, the one in Duke Liam’s Mansion, was selected for training as a stationed powerhouse, he began quite diligently.
But once he advanced to the Sixth Great Realm, he completely exposed his true nature.
In Duke Liam’s Mansion, he really…indulged in debauchery.
Most of the information Lord Liam collected about Alex Liam was regarding his lewd behavior in Duke Liam’s Mansion.
He didn’t bother with maids or young ladies; he particularly liked the wives and concubines of the masters and young masters in the mansion.
And he didn’t need to use force; with his high cultivation level and smooth talk, he was far superior to the worthless second and third generations in Duke Liam’s Mansion.
It’s no surprise what the outco would be.
Duke Liam’s health had deteriorated year by year, mostly because he was angered by Alex.
Master Sun realized that while Sister Liam was recording these “scandals,” she exuded a sense of joy in gossip from between the lines.
Master Sun couldn’t help but sigh, wondering if he and Sister Liam were actually the sa kind of person deep down?
Alex Liam was definitely not an option, so Master Sun made up his mind.
Among the other four powerful individuals stationed at the manors, it was actually Lionel Charlton who was the most upright.
Since being forced into a marriage, his life had consisted of only two things: first, cultivating.
He was among Heaven’s Chosen in his generation, and his talent was not inferior to Abner Lane’s.
By now, he should have advanced to the Seventh Level.
However, it wasn’t until recently, with the support of the Duke of Stev’s Mansion during the Origin Resurgence, that he finally broke through.
The reason was that he had turned cultivating into a “job” given to him by the Duke of Stev’s Mansion, so he completed his tasks dutifully every day, never exceeding expectations, which naturally slowed his progress.
From this perspective, the Duke of Stev’s Mansion had essentially stifled one of the Wood Dynasty’s Heaven’s Chosen.
Second, practicing calligraphy.
After finishing his daily cultivation, he would practice writing.
Using the Duke of Stev’s resources, he even managed to acquire a large collection of famous calligraphers’ writings.
He and his wife likely consummated their marriage only once, on their wedding night, and afterward, he never visited her room again.
Both husband and wife suffered from this tragedy.
Apart from Lionel Charlton, the other three stationed powerhouses were not exactly “innocent.” Over the years, they had done so bad things, but it was all a form of release under pressure.
Master Sun had already prepared plans on how to target the stationed powerhouses of the founding dukes’ mansions.
After reading the information, he set his plan into motion.
First, “demonic activity” began in the Capital.
A Tier-6 Demon frequently appeared in the heavily-guarded Capital, yet neither the Imperial City Departnt nor the Horizon Bureau could catch it.
Moreover, various clues all pointed towards the Five Founding Dukes!
Without internal help, such a powerful demon could not even have entered the Capital.
At the sa ti, whispers began to circulate in secret.
The Five Founding Dukes were all fixated on marrying Master Sun’s sister, all because of a prophecy from a powerful Demon Artifact!
As more and more evidence was discovered under the joint efforts of the Horizon Bureau and the Imperial City Departnt, these findings were extrely unfavorable to the Five Founding Dukes.
The founding dukes would not sit idly by, and they started to “defend” themselves in various ways.
Through different channels, they conveyed a ssage to the outside world: As long as the Wood Dynasty exists, our five families will continue to prosper.
Why would we have any motive to collude with the Demon Clan?
This seed to make sense at first, but soon new evidence surfaced.
The five founding dukes had acted precisely because the prophecies of the Demon Artifact stated that their days were numbered, and they had to act to ensure another thirty thousand years of wealth and prosperity.
And this thirty thousand years of wealth and prosperity entailed aligning themselves with the Demon Clan to overthrow the Wood Dynasty from within!
Subsequently, under the close investigation of the Horizon Bureau and the Imperial City Departnt, the whereabouts of the Demon Artifact was discovered––before it mysteriously disappeared again!
Various clues confird that the Five Founding Dukes had hidden the Demon Artifact!
The Micro-count Skill did not disappoint Master Sun, as it had rged with the Broken Tile Jar.
However, for Master Sun, this was not the key point.
If the Micro-count Skill had failed and the Broken Tile Jar was still out of control, he would just create a fake obedient one.
