486: Chapter 360: The Value of the Red Flower_3 486: Chapter 360: The Value of the Red Flower_3 “Cough, cough,” Master Lawrence Charlton coughed and relayed a ssage to Colby Dominic: “That senior back then was already a Seventh Level cultivator, and a heavenly vertical genius.
If not for the limitation of the Heavenly Track, he would have certainly stepped into the Eighth Realm…” Colby Dominic was rendered speechless but couldn’t bla Master Lawrence.
Who could have expected the peaceful Short-lived Valley, after thousands of years, to suddenly undergo changes during the Dragon and Snake List event?
Master Lawrence weighed his words and gestured to Colby Dominic: “Let’s go down and discuss with everyone.”
Master Lawrence was the first to land, and he summoned the others: “Master Liam, Master Enoch, please show yourselves.”
Nick Liam openly walked out of the void behind Owen Bertram.
Owen shrank his neck but wasn’t too surprised.
As she passed by Owen, an inaudible sentence floated by: “Commander Geoff Ford of the General Governnt, Dependable Backing from Topeka Hall.”
There was another big shot hiding in the dark, probably trying to take care of Colby Dominic’s face.
After arriving, he didn’t reveal himself imdiately.
Owen Bertram knew what was going on and gave a grateful look to Lord Liam.
Unfortunately, Lord Liam had his back to him, and his charming gaze was wasted.
Geoff Ford also erged from a distance, and the four of them gathered to discuss quietly.
What surprised Owen Bertram was that Geoff Ford was actually a Sixth Great Realm cultivator!
Although Owen couldn’t sense a strong “danger” from Geoff Ford, proving he might have just entered the Sixth Great Realm or wasn’t good at fighting techniques, he was still a solid Sixth Great Realm cultivator!
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Horizon Bureau’s power all belonged to the General Governnt.
However, in reality, the General Governnt had long beco a re ornant, with the Five Major Town Stabilizing Divisions controlling almost 99% of the Horizon Bureau’s power.
Commanders like Abner Lane and Nick Liam had also found Dependable Backing in the Imperial Court.
Master Lane was backed by Adonis Dunn.
The highest nominal commander of the Horizon Bureau, Commander Harrison Ainsworth, had stopped dealing with affairs thirty years ago, focusing on his own cultivation.
It was said that his lifespan was coming to an end, and he’d been trying to break through to the Seventh Level.
That’s why the current situation had arisen.
But how could the General Governnt, which was nothing more than an ornant, contain a Sixth Great Realm cultivator, besides Harrison Ainsworth himself?
A hint of doubt flashed through Owen Bertram’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on it when he heard a fierce argunt erupt among the lords.
Nick Liam’s voice was shrill and sharp: “Ridiculous!
Out of thirty thousand cultivators, only one erged – and you still want to send him back?
If sothing else happens, wouldn’t this Dragon and Snake List be completely annihilated?”
Owen Bertram’s heart stirred: Let go back?
But seeing Master Lawrence beckoning kindly to Owen Bertram, he said, “Master Owen, you are also a loyal servant of the Imperial Court.
Co and listen.”
Owen Bertram followed the instructions, but his face revealed an “anxious” expression.
Nick Liam defended Owen with her body: “Don’t listen to them.
We of the Horizon Bureau will never let our people be bullied!”
Geoff Ford gave a bitter smile: “We are just discussing it.
When have I ever betrayed our people?”
Only Colby Dominic stood with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at Owen Bertram.
Master Lawrence Charlton said, “Master Owen, old husband here probably has a rough guess about what happened.
Impulsively sending thirty thousand Heaven’s Chosen into the Short-lived Valley triggered the changes inside.
Now the valley is sealed, and high-level cultivators cannot enter.
Even the Array core used by the Military Departnt to seal this valley can only send cultivators below the Sixth Great Realm in, unless a cultivator with the sa level as the one who set the Array back then, the Seventh Great Realm, forcibly breaks the Array seal.
But finding a Seventh Great Realm cultivator is difficult, and delaying the rescue will likely lead to the death of the Heaven’s Chosen in the valley.”
Owen Bertram kept his mouth shut and didn’t interrupt.
Master Lawrence Charlton had to say, “There is a way, but it requires Master Owen to take the initiative.
Since you managed to co out of the Short-lived Valley, it must not be too dangerous for you.
You can enter and try to rescue as many people as possible…”
Owen Bertram waved his hands repeatedly: “The subordinate’s abilities are limited and dare not undertake this important task.”
Nick Liam didn’t spare any face: “What kind of rotten idea is that?
Evans Graham ca up with this nonsense.
The Military Departnt can’t cover their own Military School Field, but they want our people from the Horizon Bureau to risk their lives?
The General Governnt is useless too, failing to protect their own people from the Horizon Bureau!”
Evans Graham and Master Lawrence Charlton were extrely embarrassed.
Master Lawrence Charlton tried to persuade, “Master Liam, this is not the ti to get angry.
These thirty thousand Heaven’s Chosen are the future hope of the Cultivation World in our Wood Dynasty.
We can’t afford to lose them all!”
Colby Dominic was in a ss, as his only child had been missing in the valley for several Shichen (2 hours) already.
How could he endure any more changes in the valley?
He said irritably, “Nick Liam, this is the only way!
Moreover, it might not be too dangerous for Owen Bertram.
If you continue to block it, I will enter the palace now and ask His Majesty for an imperial decree!”
Nick Liam beca furious and glared: “Let’s go, let’s all go to the palace.
This commander wants to talk to His Majesty about the shady business you and Evans Graham have been up to!”
Evans Graham rushed to diate: “Oh dear, don’t be angry, everybody.
We are all doing this for the sake of our duties.” Evans Graham thought that there must be soone brave enough to step forward with the promise of a great reward.
He just hoped this “compensation” wouldn’t co from his own pocket.
“Master Lawrence Charlton, after all, the problem arose in the territory of the Military Departnt.
If we let Master Owen take action, the Military Departnt should provide so compensation,” he said.
