Chapter 187: Chapter 187

Suddenly, the Gourd Responsive Objects in the sky sucked back all the Spiritual Flames, and Bat Taoist’s empty clothes fluttered down to the ground.

A soul floated up, but a Command Token came flying from afar, smacking the soul and capturing it.

The Mechanical Dao Soldier picked up Bat Taoist’s Storage Brocade Pouch from the ground and put the three little apprentices one by one. With a wave of his hand, the eyeball hidden in the soil of the backyard flew back and shook off the dirt along the way, landing in the Mech Dao Soldier’s eye socket.

He quickly left the Taoist Temple, grabbed Nathan Lane hiding outside, and leaped onto the Flying Shield to rush away!

Nathan Lane stared in shock, still stiff as the Mechanical Dao Soldier whisked him off into the sky.

After a while, he finally understood a principle and became enlightened: All schemes and calculations, all reasoning and guessing were all empty — as long as you had powerful thighs, everything would work out!

"Jamal," Nathan Lane had a sudden realization that something was wrong, and he looked down and asked, "What are you doing holding onto my leg?"

As the flight continued at high speed, Nathan Lane resisted the intense air currents and managed to make a pleasing smile.

But Nathan Lane soon realized something was off: "The direction is wrong. Why have we stopped? This is... Wind and Rain Mountain?!"

"What are you trying to do?"

Owen Bertram raised a finger to his lips: "Shush—"

The two of them hid in the woods, and soon they saw several bright meteors in the sky with long tails of light, heading towards the Taoist Temple.

Nathan Lane was startled: "Jamal, could it be that you...?"

He guessed and asked with a trembling voice: "Are you planning to attack the Broken-Star Sect?"

Owen Bertram touched his chin, muttering to himself: "There are only four Third Great Boundary disciples, and the Broken-Star Sect is quite large. There should be a Fourth Great Realm master guarding it; the timing for stealing from them isn’t ripe yet."

Nathan Lane gave a thumbs up: "Jamal, you’re amazing!"

Owen Bertram still adhered to the excellent strategy of the working people, ready to harvest the Broken-Star Sect. He thought that such a large sect must have a deep foundation.

This little episode made Nathan Lane’s understanding of "Jamal’s" character deepened. He’s really daring and adventurous.

But why did that make him feel a bit uneasy?

Would his recklessness bring trouble to him?

"Shall we go?" Nathan Lane was cautious and asked. His heart thumped at the thought of Jamal’s daringness.

Owen Bertram was initially prepared to leave, simply taking a chance.

But since the opponent still had a Fourth Great Realm standing guard, the Mechanical Dao Soldier only had the Five-Toothed Flying Sword and no Immortal Binding Rope to help. So, the chances of killing the Fourth Great Realm quickly were slim, and they could only give up...

However, at this moment, the second brother, who had been silent in the Rogue River, turned around, having finally digested those artifacts, bebones, and bowstrings.

Immediately, a huge warm current surged into Owen Bertram’s body.

Nathan Lane realized that Jamal had stopped talking and now stood there blankly— Owen Bertram was enjoying himself, and the Mech Dao Soldier seemed to be lagging.

After the rolling warm currents, Owen Bertram found that he was already at the Spirit Illumination level of perfection. His next step would cross the Second Level and enter the Third Great Boundary "Dao Tower Realm"!

In addition, a smaller, warmer current merged into his mind, which was the Nurturing Spirit Skill.

It came from that enormous patch of dark yellow Beast Bones and, after Little Loach’s upgrade, was not limited to "nurturing ghosts" and could nurture all "spiritual" objects.

Ghost Spirits were just one larger category in it.

Moreover, because it originated from a ghost nurturing spell, the "nurturing" effect on ghost spirits was the best.

Owen Bertram thought that he could use it in the Ghost Zone, especially his Ghost Clone "Lord". Although it was a Tier-2 ghost, as the Ghost Zone improved, more great ghosts would appear, and the strength of the Tier-2 ghosts would become more and more insufficient.

Furthermore, the next time he meets the Bamboo Hat Woman, he could give her a surprise: Your old lecher is not what he used to be!

Owen Bertram waited for his second brother to continue nurturing, but it came to a halt. The eldest brother was actually quite satisfied but still adhered to the strategy of "staking it all to win nothing," and angrily questioned his second brother, "Is that it?"

"As your eldest brother, I have given you many treasures. It took you a long time to digest them, and now you’re trying to make it up to me with this trash? If this is the case, don’t expect any more treasures in the future."

Little Loach was threatened by the last statement and hurriedly said, "There is one more treasure I have for you, elder brother."

Owen Bertram was secretly delighted and gloomily replied, "That’s more like it."

In front of Nathan Lane, "Jamal" suddenly came back to life, shifting his gaze to Nathan Lane and asking, "Why should we leave?"

Owen Bertram said meaningfully, "Little Four, opportunity favors the prepared."

Nathan Lane thought for a long time, ultimately realizing that he couldn’t get away alone. Otherwise, he would never accompany Jamal to continue hiding here.

Owen Bertram felt more confident after increasing his cultivation. After all, now he could use the Five-Toothed Flying Sword at full strength, and even the ordinary Fourth Great Realm disciples could be challenged.

The Broken-Star Sect’s four experts arrived at the Taoist Temple, only to stare dumbfounded.

"We arrived quickly, but how did this Taoist Temple, which was under the protection of powerful Dao soldiers, turn into a scorched ruin so fast?"

All the Dao soldiers had been burnt to ashes. Only outside Bat Taoist’s residence was there a set of empty clothes left.

It belonged to Bat Taoist.

They knew that even if the four of them joined forces, it would not be easy to attack the Taoist Temple and kill the Bat Daoist; it was even less likely to do so this quickly.

This meant that if they had indeed encountered the attacker, their fate might probably not be much different from the Bat Daoist’s.

So, the four were alert, standing back to back, surveying their surroundings. After a while, they confirmed that the attacker had left and was safe.

They inspected the entire Taoist Temple—there wasn’t much to check since it had become a scorched field. They immediately took out the Communication Talisman and reported to the Sect Master.

The Sect Master of the Broken-Star Sect was also stunned, Bat Taoist was gone?!

He knew that Prince Henry had recently sent a batch of precious Treasure Material to the Bat Daoist, and the quantity was huge. If Prince Henry found out, he would be furious.

His Broken-Star Sect couldn’t escape the responsibility of "failing to protect."

The Sect Master immediately ordered, "All the disciples within the sect, take action and find the culprit!"

Now all they could do was make amends and hope to find the attacker, and then make their move to seize back the lost batch of Treasure Material.

At the Broken Star Sect’s upper courtyard, the main door opened wide, and lines of starlight flew out from it, the scene spectacular and beautiful.

The Sect Master gritted his teeth and took out Prince Henry’s Communication Talisman, reporting the bad news to him.
