Chapter 1436: Chapter 781 Chapter 1436: Chapter 781 The damp mist permeated the mountain forest, while the torches around the campsite flickered on and off, casting a patchwork of shadows on the ground. The voices of the slender tall man and the short, stocky man trembled involuntarily, their emotions complex, filled with both concern for the Young Master and a sense of helplessness towards the situation.
“You have no idea,” the slender man leaned in towards Logan, as if afraid that others might overhear this shocking secret, “initially, those forces were suspicious of each other and in conflict, with none willing to cooperate easily. But the circumstances of the Heavenly Saint Daoist and the Beast King’s deaths were too strange. They scoured the entire Mountain Range and couldn’t find even a trace of a clue.”
The short, stocky man nodded repeatedly, his face full of anxiety, “Indeed, with such a big incident, there must be a huge secret behind it. They
The night grew deeper and colder, the chill coming like tidal waves, with the light of the campfire flickering uncertainly in the wind. Bart Cloud had been pretending to rest not far away, but in reality, he heard every word of the conversation clearly. Hearing about Lowen Shingo’s sufferings, he could no longer hold back, unconsciously clenching his fists until his knuckles turned pale and emitted a ‘crack’ sound–indicative of extreme rage.
His chest heaved violently, his eyes burning with fierce anger, his inner turmoil like a volcano on the verge of eruption. For the chance to acquire the legacy of two ‘Strong Ones,’ the methods of these forces were extremely cruel and utterly inhumane! Were they really willing to disregard everything just for those illusory benefits? Bart Cloud roared inwardly, but reason told him that he could not act rashly.
He was acutely aware that the Heavenly Saint Daoist and the Beast King had not left behind any special fortune, and neither he nor Logan had received any benefits. But now, innocent Lowen Shingo had to endure all this suffering, all because of those forces’ greed and delusion. Bart Cloud turned slightly toward Logan, his eyes conveying determination and resolution, as if communicating his resolve to Logan: no matter what, they must rescue Lowen Shingo and not let him suffer any longer.
Meanwhile, the trees surrounding the camp rustled in the cold wind, as if also lamenting Lowen Shingo’s ordeal. Bart Cloud took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. He knew that impulse would not solve any problems. Next, he must discuss a comprehensive rescue plan with Logan, to safely extract Lowen Shingo from the tight encirclement and danger.
Under the dim moonlight, Bart Cloud’s eyebrows knotted tightly, his mind filled with worry for Lowen Shingo. He knew that those forces’ persistence could only reasonably be attributed to their coveting the Monster Beast Clan’s Supreme Treasure. And it was Logan who had acquired this treasure.
At that thought, Bart Cloud let out a soft sigh. This so-called Supreme Treasure was merely a Space Treasure, incapable of instantaneously boosting a Cultivator’s strength as those forces imagined. But blinded by greed, they wouldn’t believe such truths.
The surrounding night became denser, and sporadic roars of unidentified beasts added to the tense and oppressive atmosphere. Bart Cloud felt an overwhelming sense of melancholy, understanding that the plan to rescue Lowen Shingo was much more difficult than imagined. Those forces, eager to extract the secret of the Supreme Treasure from him, would surely keep him under strict surveillance, possibly with Half-step Saint Seat powerhouses close at hand.
He instinctively touched the weapon at his waist, his hands trembling slightly, showing a mix of anger and helplessness. In this crisis-ridden environment, every step was like walking on thin ice, one misstep, and not only would they fail to rescue Lowen Shingo, but they themselves might also fall into an abyss from which there was no return.
