Little Loach’s whiskers drooped slowly, he hung his head in shame at the accusations coming from his elder brother’s moral high ground.
Something felt off, but with Little Loach’s current level of intelligence, he couldn’t quite figure out what was wrong.
Owen Bertram left quickly with a barrage of words that left Little Loach dumbfounded before he could react.
First, he must fertilize the Little Gourd— This is important, as he must check in daily without fail!
Otherwise, where would my younger brother live?
Look how much I’ve taken on for this home!
The Little Gourds have been laid flat, and you come every morning to take a dump — holding it in all the way from home to here, can’t you give your own bladder a chance to rest?
On the way, Owen Bertram reminded himself not to use the Commander’s Token.
The place was close to the Ghost Zone, even during the day when the Ghost Zone could not manifest, the presence of the King of Souls might reveal his true identity.
He wouldn’t be able to keep up the act afterward.
Walking along the clan’s river, dangers were everywhere.
The wild beasts in the mountains and forests were influenced by the evil energy, making them unusually ferocious and strong, including the Tier-1 and Tier-2 Demon Beasts.
Owen Bertram had a good grasp of his current power and tried not to provoke the Tier-2 Demon Beasts as much as possible.
Along the way, he decided to recall Little Loach to escort him along the river.
Little Loach: ???
This is too much!
However, he was lucky today, he managed to avoid several ferocious creatures that were hunting along the way, and did not encounter any powerful Demon Beasts.
When passing the Ghost Zone, Owen Bertram let Little Loach go back, cutting off all possible traces that could expose them.
Little Loach: So you summon me as you please and send me away whenever you want?
Owen Bertram: “I’m your elder brother, the pillar of our home!”
Little Loach left in a sulk, full of grievances: always picking on his younger brother.
Owen Bertram passed through the Ghost Zone, during the day, this place was only a desolate riverbank.
He had no idea where Abigail Turner and the others had gone, but he knew they were nearby, so he began carefully searching.
About three miles away from the Ghost Zone, something in the Spiritual Cavity in Owen Bertram’s right chest, the Commander’s Token, moved slightly.
“Trying to invade my territory.” Owen Bertram sneered in his heart.
He found himself standing at the foot of a small hill.
The slope was scattered with huge rocks, covered in unidentified vines.
The surrounding trees, though not tall, were robust and blocked the sun, making the forest seem a bit gloomy.
A cold, sinister air wafted from the forest, carried by the mountain wind.
Owen Bertram, seemingly casual, approached a giant rock as tall as a person.
In his hand appeared the Spiritual Pomegranate Sniper.
He gently pulled back the curtain-like vines on the rock, revealing a dark hole under the rock, leading underground.
Whoosh—
A great gush of cold air hit his face, and in the blink of an eye hundreds of bat-like ghosts rushed out of the hole.
Owen Bertram’s ears were filled with the sound of their terrifying screams.
If it had been an ordinary person, their blood would freeze in an instant, their soul would become unconscious, and they would be helplessly devoured by these ghosts.
But Owen Bertram just smiled lightly.
With a clear clattering sound, the surrounding ghostly screams were shattered, and a giant Chain Lock rose into the air, splitting into two, then four, then eight…
Dozens of chains whipped around, and the ghosts could not withstand a single strike.
They shattered and turned into wisps of ghostly air.
This Chain Lock that Little Loach gave to his elder brother was countless times superior to the standard Chain Locks in the government offices!
It could not only lock people but also contain souls.
The ground around the hole suddenly began to churn like water, even the giant rock began to shake.
The Ghost Being is on the move!
A flash of sharp light crossed Owen Bertram’s eyes: “Trying to escape?”The chain lock clinked together, flung downwards and effortlessly disappeared into the ground the moment it came in contact with the surface.
Earth Escape!
The Chain Lock possessed various divine powers, and Earth Escape was merely one of them.
Clink clink clink…
The chain lock in Owen Bertram’s hand continued to extend and dig deeper beneath the ground.
The ghost being realized at the first sight of the chain lock that it was no match, and it immediately started to burrow underground to escape.
Regardless of how it tried to change its direction underground, distract, or cast illusions, it could never evade the chasing chain lock.
Smack!
The chain lock suddenly stretched out taut.
Owen Bertram tightened his grip, exclaiming, “Gotcha!”
The ground within a few hundred yards surged upwards.
The ghost being, exerting all its strength, tried to drag Owen Bertram down.
From the spiritual cavity below Owen’s abdomen, the Great Seal Apparition spun around, gushing out a vast amount of spiritual energy.
As steady as a mountain!
“Rise!” Owen Bertram roared, his great strength emitted, forcibly pulling up the chain lock!
His hands swiftly took turns.
Initially, the ghost being resisted a little, but gradually it found itself unable to keep up.
Owen Bertram pulled faster and faster, rapidly dragging the ghost being out.
Boom…
The ground violently flipped open, and a massive greyish-black ghost being, under the imprisonment of the chain lock, burst out from beneath.
“Hiss–” The ghost being roared in defiance at Owen Bertram.
Owen Bertram sneered.
He flicked the chain lock in his hand, causing the ghost being to suffer dozens of chain whip lashes.
Its rage subsided, and it let out a pitiful howl, obediently falling to the ground.
Owen Bertram carefully observed.
It was a Netherworld monster that seemed to be a jumbled assembly of countless human-like parts, each part just a segment: shattered limbs, half-broken skulls, bloody organs…
Its size was as massive as a three-story building!
The assembly parts, some real, some illusionary, or even constantly shifting between reality and illusion, resulted in the ghost being’s body flickering in and out of a translucent state from time to time.
To Owen’s bewilderment, the ghost being’s body trapped a group of people.
About a dozen people were huddled together, among them was a woman dressed in an elegant official’s attire, tightly clutching a bone bead radiating a glorious light.
This light protected them, preventing the ghost being from completely absorbing them for the time being.
However, the bone bead was already covered in fissures, clearly it wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer.
Owen reprimanded sharply, “Release them!”
The chain lock rattled and lashed at the ghost being, causing it to howl painfully as if pleading for mercy.
It reluctantly split its body open, and Abigail Turner and the others tumble out with a thud.
The bone bead in her hand also shattered, and the glow dissipated.
Just on the brink, had Owen Bertram been a second late, they would have been completely absorbed and become a part of the ghost being.
“Ouch…”
The members of the Horizon Bureau moaned.
The dozen or so people scattered about, momentarily disoriented.
They turned around to find the ghost being right next to them, which scared them into a frantic retreat.
Upon seeing Owen, Abigail Turner bowed her head, thanking him, “Your Excellency, thank you for saving our lives.”
Owen Bertram took out his own token, and asked, “Are you Prescott Abigail?”
“You’re General Bertram!” Abigail Turner instantly guessed, her expression abruptly turned overwhelmingly complex.
