Chapter 485: Chapter 300 Mountain_1

Early the next morning, Logan and Bart Cloud set off on their journey back to the mountain range, with Shingo Butcher insisting on accompanying them. Despite repeated warnings that the journey was fraught with danger, the other party insisted on joining in the excitement.

On the road, Bart Cloud lamented, “Is Lowen Shingo really captured? What if it’s a trap laid out under false information? Then we’d have gone on a fool’s errand, and put ourselves in danger instead. It’s a mixed feeling. I neither wish for Lowen Shingo to be captured, nor do I want our efforts to be wasted.”

“Regardless, even if Lowen Shingo hasn’t been captured, we should go see what’s happening. This way it will benefit both of us. Otherwise, what if they trace any clues? Don’t we have to face a pursuit?”

Logan seemed more resigned, continuing their journey while saying, “Furthermore, suppose Lowen Shingo also heard this news, and thought we had been captured, wouldn’t he try to rescue us? So, we can’t not go. After all, neither the Heavenly Saint Daoist nor the Beast King could harm us, why should we fear those sects?”

“You’re right.” Bart Cloud nodded, agreeing with Logan’s reasoning. He had perhaps been overthinking. After all, there were millions of demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. In case of real danger, they could use those millions of beasts as shields. As long as the Sanctuary didn’t intervene, they could handle the situation.

After the party had covered about thirty miles, they suddenly encountered a force of over a hundred cultivators. Their realms are not high, only at the Transcendent Tier. Judging from their direction, it appeared they too were heading towards the mountain range.

Logan and his group tried not to attract attention, but still caught the eye of the force. The group approached with ill intentions. The leader smirked amusingly, “Gentlemen, where might you be heading?”

They didn’t respond, but the hundred people circled around them. Bart Cloud felt a surge of anger. These few transcendent-tier beings were acting too presumptuously. Just as he was about to make a move, Logan stopped him.

“We’re heading to the Dragon Mountain Range, also known as the Demon Beast Mountain Range. I believe you guys must have heard about the fall of the two Sanctuary Powerhouses and are looking for opportunities. Why not travel together? If there is any danger halfway, our hundred people can protect you,” said the leader.

Naturally, he had his own motives. According to the rumor, the demon beasts in the mountain range had gone berserk, and many sects had suffered losses. Their group of a hundred people was also afraid of an accident, so they wanted to find some human shields to go ahead, giving them time to escape if anything went wrong.

Logan saw through their little ruse clearly. But when he thought about it, these hundred people could completely cover their identities, reducing any suspicion along the way. Therefore, he pretended to look scared and agreed to their request.

The leader was overjoyed and let Logan and his group lead the way. “Excellent. Rumor has it that there is danger behind, you guys walk in front. If anyone tries to kill, you’d have a better chance of staying safe.”

Logan’s group ended up leading the lot of hundred-plus people. Shingo Butcher was utterly displeased, as it was apparent that these people intended to exploit them. He failed to understand how Logan could agree to this. Was it not simpler to wipe these people out completely? He always preferred to be solitary; in times of crises, more people meant more complications.

Logan just gave a playful smirk, explaining to the pair, “Don’t worry. It’s not likely yet who will be the shield. Anyway, we have to enter the mountain range. Our identities could easily raise suspicion, but these people are obviously from a sect, and can easily enter.”

At least for now, Logan isn’t sure if Lowen Shingo has been captured, so he must keep their identities hidden. If, on entering the mountain range, they find the news to be false, they can slip away promptly. Otherwise, if they, being foreigners, were targeted, it would be quite hard to break free.

“Let’s play it by ear.” Bart Cloud seemed a lot more open-minded. Anyway, they were cloaked by this heap of people and thus, could lay low. And at the right time, perhaps they could incite a conflict between several forces. This would make their rescue mission for Lowen Shingo more efficient.

The group covered another thirty miles and was near the Demon Beast Mountain Range. However, several hundred people had set up a barrier here, not allowing anyone to pass. Now that there was a major discovery in the mountain range, other than the powers that had entered earlier, everyone else was preventing people from stealing resources.

The leader of the hundred people stepped forward, righteously declaring, “We are disciples of the Shingo Sect. The young man who knew everything is our sect’s Young Master. He has made such a significant contribution; can’t we go in and investigate? If you dare to block us, our sect will definitely take him away.”

Upon hearing this, no one dared to stop them. The hundred people entered smoothly. However, they didn’t directly enter the mountain range but set up camp nearby. No one knew why, but the millions of demon beasts in the mountain range had gone berserk, forcing almost all of the powers to retreat instantly, afraid of consuming losses.

Logan’s eyes lit up because, from the leader’s dialogue, he could deduce two pieces of information. The first was that Lowen Shingo truly had been captured, and now all the major powers were interrogating him, hoping to know about the circumstances of the battle between the Heavenly Saint Daoist and Beast King and discover the whereabouts of the Treasures of the Demon Beasts.

The other piece of information was that these hundred people were from Lowen Shingo’s sect. It was all too coincidental. If they could get information from these hundred people, they might be able to find Lowen Shingo and save him. Logan and his allies decided not to leave, and instead, pitched their camp along with these hundred people.

As soon as the tents were set up, the leader impatiently commented, “Our Young Master is too stubborn. Had he revealed everything earlier, he would’ve received many benefits. But he insists on remaining silent. He’s going to be executed by the major powers first thing in the morning. I don’t know what he’s aiming for.”

“Exactly, his cultivation had reached the Throne level upon his return from this journey. He was undoubtedly going to be the next Sect Leader. But he took a wrong step. Had he revealed the whereabouts of the two Sanctuary Powerhouses and the Treasures of the Demon Beasts, our sect could’ve advanced even further, and even produce one or two Sanctuary Powerhouses.”

Another person sighed deeply too. The Young Master had always been kind and admired by everyone in the sect. It was a pity that he offended the elders and the Sect Leader. No one could protect him this time. Furthermore, the Sect Leader had only this one child. His death could plunge the sect into chaos.

According to the guardian, two young men were with the Young Master, and the Treasures of the Demon Beasts were probably taken by them. However, the guardian got injured and left later and didn’t know their whereabouts.

Logan approached, curiously asking, “Your sect is very powerful. Can you tell me more to broaden my horizons? I saw how those people were so respectful just now, and I couldn’t help but envy. If I ever get the chance, I’d definitely join, even if it means being an Outer Disciple.”
