Chapter 712 Bird's Remains

• Teleportation arrays sprang up in greater numbers every day, and word ran through the vast lands of Dawnland like fire through dry grass. Sebastian's bounty had risen just as he had planned. Ten billion crystal stones now hung over his head. The price had jumped tenfold overnight, and the staggering reward sent wave after wave of hunters racing toward Astral Continent. That was why Empyreal City buzzed with such feverish life.
• Even as all of Dawnland searched, even as the heads of major factions were worrying about the Burns' inevitable expansion, the man they wanted most had already slipped through the cracks. Sebastian roamed the Burns' mysterious realm in secret, chasing after treasure.
• Patrol squads moved across the realm in constant shifts. The loss of one team stirred no suspicion, for most believed they had simply gone to rest. No one dared press further, for the Burns' strength grew heavier by the day. Patrols rarely drew blood. Their purpose was to drag back servants who had broken loose rather than confront real enemies.
