_1 359: Chapter 326: Got it!
_1 Lord hasn’t fully digested those mories yet, but the pure soul power had already pushed him back into the fifth tier.
Owen Bertram took the Gourd Elder from him and then floated away, while Lord began to search for the traces of the Spiritual Treasure Embryo.
Owen Bertram was surprised by how smoothly the search was going: perhaps because Lord had already rged with a small part of the mory, he seed to have so kind of connection with the Spiritual Treasure Embryo.
Plus, the Spiritual Treasure Embryo was injured, and its energy had scattered, while Lord himself was a spirit, so he was extrely sensitive to these energy traces.
It only took him a little more than a Shichen (2 hours) to find the Spiritual Treasure Embryo’s trail.
Following the trail, half a Shichen later, he determined that the Spiritual Treasure Embryo was hidden not far ahead in a pile of broken rocks.
There was nowhere to hide nearby as the ground around them had been completely shattered.
Lord quietly took out the Gourd Elder, removed the gourd plug, and gently pushed the Gourd Elder, who beca massive and soundless.
Lord didn’t dare to move, hiding behind the gourd.
The Gourd Elder’s belly contained a small lake, which was one of the six arrangents made by that person.
However, the mory within the lake was swallowed by Lord beforehand.
Owen Bertram knew that it all depended on whether they could draw the Spiritual Treasure Embryo over.
If it didn’t work before dawn, they would have to pack up the Gourd Elder and leave in haste.
As for whether this move would inadvertently backfire and anger the Spiritual Treasure Embryo into a violent attack…Owen Bertram still felt so heartache about losing Lord.
After all, Lord and Sophia had always been in contact, and this rcenary army was quite useful, just a bit unlucky.
As for the Gourd Elder, that didn’t matter, since Lord Algernon’s ho had plenty of gourds.
The Spiritual Treasure Embryo couldn’t form a consciousness, and the mories inside it were chaotic.
Moreover, they were becoming an unrooted tree and a sourceless water, which would eventually dissipate.
It just instinctively knew that it was getting weaker, but it didn’t know how to stop it.
It hid under the pile of rocks because it couldn’t find any other place to go.
But suddenly, a faint sense appeared, making feel it “familiar” and “secure,” as if to call this feeling ho, if it had a sense of self.
It carefully crawled out from under the rocks and quickly found that place.
The chaotic mories couldn’t provide it with experience, so it was still instinctively cautious, advancing and retreating, probing several tis.
The place was there, motionless and seemingly safe.
During these tests, the closest it ca was to the mouth of the gourd.
It was during this constant approach and withdrawal that it felt its weakening rate slow down as it got closer to the place, and quicken as it moved away.
Finally, it hesitated no more and swiftly flew into the gourd, sank into the lake, and entered one of the five stone holes.
Lord still didn’t dare to move.
Sure enough, after a while, the Spiritual Treasure Embryo crawled out again!
After one last confirmation that there was no danger, it sank completely in and even seed to be able to manipulate the array structures!
The array structures that had been severed by Owen Bertram’s Flying Sword were originally used to connect to the Treasure Vein and draw spiritual energy for the entire structure.
Now these broken array structures spread out and wrapped around the magical instrunts stored inside the Gourd Elder’s belly.
The levels of these Magical Instrunts weren’t high, they were items that Owen Bertram and the second brother didn’t care for, but there were many of them.
These array structures could now draw spiritual energy from the Magical Treasures!
Although the energy was thin due to the low level of the treasures, it still provided so replenishnt for the Spiritual Treasure Embryo to slowly repair its injury.
Thus, the Spiritual Treasure Embryo fell silent and went into a recuperative sleep.
Owen Bertram was ecstatic and hurriedly manipulated Lord to cover the Gourd Elder before slipping away.
Along the way, Lord keenly sensed spiritual energy fluctuations in the air coming from far away.
He imdiately stuffed the Gourd Elder into his body and sank deep into the ground.
Not too long after, a powerful aura flew across the night sky, slashing down a Night Owl demon bird about ten miles northwest of Lord’s previous location, and then continued toward the direction of the big lake.
“Sixth Great Realm!”
“And a very strong Sixth Great Realm, comparable to Abner Lane before his promotion!” thought Owen Bertram secretly.
He waited for the person to go far away and didn’t dare let Lord out, only moving underground and drilling out of the ground after they had left for dozens of miles.
By dawn, Owen Bertram returned alone to Duck Palm Beach Demon Clan Great Tomb.
…
Rachel and Emma Scott had been anxious the whole ti.
Lord Algernon had left in a hurry and only told them to wait, but they kept waiting and he never ca back.
They were very anxious, and by night, this anxiety beca inner turmoil.
Two Shichens (four hours) after Owen Bertram left, Rachel had already guessed what Lord Algernon had gone to do, and had been worried ever since: is Master not coming back?
After all, it was too dangerous.
But rationally speaking, Lord Algernon had decisively retreated before, and now he’s gone back – he wouldn’t do this unless he was sure of sothing.
It should be safe for him, but why hasn’t he returned yet?
I’m really worried…
Rachel had always seen herself in high regard, and those elders who had spent so ti with him had praised him as well.
However, this ti Rachel discovered his shortcomings: when faced with a major crisis, he lost his composure.
No one could see his panic, because he hid it well, but he knew it in his heart.
Rachel could handle ordinary crises well, but in the face of this level, he really needed Lord Algernon to feel at ease.
This realization made him understand his limitations: he might be able to stand on his own, but he definitely isn’t a commander.
He made up his mind: if Lord Algernon returns safely, he will convince his father to join the Lloyd Sect under Lord Algernon, and he will make a future for himself by following Lord Algernon!
The rest of the Lloyd Sect, even more so than Rachel, couldn’t stand the anxiety, reaching its peak after the Elder returned.
The Elder and another Fifth Great Realm mber had withdrawn from the fight early.
They both had an earth-escaping chanical weapon, which allowed them to go deep underground and escape the possible catastrophe.
Even so, the two of them were severely injured; but after coming back and learning that Lord Algernon was gone, the Elder’s first reaction was: “Fourth Young Master, how could you let Lord Algernon go again?
Our secret chanical techniques…
”
Only Emma Scott was calm and collected, which once made Rachel feel ashad, thinking that this Nine Hua Dao Body was truly remarkable, even if her current realm was ordinary, her ability to maintain her composure was exceptional.
However, after he inquired about Emma Scott’s feelings, she replied: “He told us to wait, so we’ll wait.
Lord Algernon will definitely co back.”
Since entering Copper Gorge, Owen Bertram had established an inexplicable trust in her heart.
Rachel was speechless: Is she…
just naive?
