The absence of anyone from the Beast Training sect to save the cultivation family made Arthur frown and say, "I thought they said that this family has a talented descendant who has advanced to the fourth mortal coil in the sect. Were they lying to everyone?"
It is clear that he was hoping that a golden core elder would come to the rescue. It is also clear that he was targeting the talented golden core descendant of this cultivation family.
The truth of the matter is that they didn't come to this part of the world by chance. He came here intentionally.
He decided to come here because he had already done his investigation on the cultivation families under the control of the Beast Training sect. So he knew what to expect here right from the start.
From his investigation, he knew that the descendants of this cultivation family kidnap cultivators and feed them to their pets to raise them. When he discovered this, he thought that it was just right that he come here to kill them and feed them to Ouroborus.
He didn't tell the people that he brought with him about why he brought them here. He kept them in the dark so that they wouldn't expose their true purpose. He did even better than Storm Hawk did to him when she brought him out for a fishing game.
Instead of telling them why he came here, he asked the weakest one to go and acquire information for them. But his true purpose was to expose the energy refining boy so that the boy would be kidnapped. That's the true reason why he shackled the life seed of the boy.
After the boy left the hotel to buy information, he used his divine sense to spread the information that a new cultivator group had appeared. He spread it throughout the city that the new group of cultivators was weak.
This was why the kidnappers quickly got wind of their presence and took action against them. So it was not a mistake or accident that the boy was kidnapped as soon as he was sent out to buy information.
He had shackled the boy to make it easy for him to be shackled. Everything had been orchestrated down to the last detail.
He could have swooped in to catch the fish that is the cultivation family after the boy was kidnapped. This was because the people who kidnapped the boy consisted of a direct descendant of the cultivation family and an elder of the cultivation family.
The elder was the criminal at the third mortal coil that Leroy and Princess had killed after they went to save the energy refining boy. So there was irrefutable proof that the cultivation family had kidnapped someone from the Blood Skull sect and had intended to kill even more disciples of the Blood Skull sect.
With this proof, he had the right to demand an exorbitant fee for the cultivation matter. But he still didn't take action then. Instead of rushing, he let the situation escalate and boil.
He gave them time and opportunity so that the cultivation family would get more invested in their crime. This was why he didn't erase the marker on Leroy's body that marked him as the killer of the elder of the cultivation family.
The cultivation family took the bait and sent even more elders to kill them. It was then that he decided to strike back.
By this point, Leroy and Princess had already begun to guess that they didn't come to this part of the world by chance. Their suspicion was solidified when he asked them to execute the massacre slowly.
However, the true target that he was hoping to reel in still didn't take the bait. No matter how he dangled the bait in the water, the golden core descendant that he wanted didn't appear.
Even though he hid himself and didn't appear, she still didn't show up. Either she didn't exist, or she didn't care that her family was being destroyed. Either way, there was nothing more he could do about the situation. He could only order everyone to pack up their loot and leave.
However, he still wasn't willing to give up on hunting a golden core elder. Since he couldn't get the person he came here for, he decided to target someone else.
He is determined to catch a golden core cultivator because they are the true wealthy people. Not only is the golden core within them very valuable and expensive, but their weapons, armor, and other equipment will also fetch him a lot of money.
Besides his goal to test his strength, he also didn't want to waste his time. Since he was already outside on a fishing trip, he was determined to make the best of it and earn big. So he decided to try the new idea that he had.
His new idea was to go to the territory of another cultivation family in the area under the control of the Beast Training sect to release Ouroborus. He didn't even have to give Ouroborus any instructions for the green-faced plant to know what to do.
Arthur had dropped the green-faced plant directly into the territory of the cultivation family. Then he hid himself.
Ouroborus began to eat as soon as he landed. It ate the trees and animals that it came across. And if it came across humans, it ate them too.
It took some time for Ouroborus's presence to be noticed because the territory was very large and because the green-faced plant had been dropped at the edge of the territory. It took exactly four days before news reached the core of the family about the presence of a powerful monster in their territory.
Arthur had to wait patiently for these four days for progress. His patience was only rewarded by the swift reaction of the elders of the cultivation families after they learned of the man-eating plant rampaging in their territory.
