Chapter 1233: Full Story
That night, Demon Soul didn’t disturb them much. He just said those few stories and went to a corner. But the main reason is that Sam gave a pint of Heavenly wine. This made the guy silent for a while and he sat down with the trio as they chatted the night away.
They talked about Watt’s new family life which he didn’t experience much, as he left home only after a year of being there. They talked about what Philip and Jack did and any of the possible romances they might have ignited over time and it seems like there are indeed some flames they had in the journey, but none of them lasted long.
Sam talked about his students and even showed them pictures and videos on how they are performing.
There are many things they talked about. They have separated for many years after all.
The next morning though, they are back to normal.
They finally had time to deal with the serious stuff, that would decide their further actions against the Five Great sects and the Demon-Soul is also part of this conversation.
“So, Jack said that you are going to break the vow or some contract you have with the Five Great sects and you are hatching a plan to do that. May I know what you are planning exactly?”
“The guardian position of the Five Great sects was solely created for me, because I saved their sorry asses a few years ago. The Five Sect Masters at that time, are full of gratitude and made a contract with the sects.
In every new resource that the sects obtain, I will be getting the first pick. All this while, I didn’t bother with it. I have a place to stay and the atmosphere is good, so I didn’t care much. I really didn’t care about the measly resources they would bring me.
But now that my dearest disciple asked, I asked for a huge chunk and asked them to honor the contract. I asked for my share in every resource they took over without offering me anything, so now they have no other option than to break the contract.
Now that the five great sects are also in their most peaceful times, they are not going to hesitate to break the contract.
As long as they break it, I am out of the picture and you can just do whatever the fuck you want.”
“Thank you.”
Sam just replied with those two words and went out to meet his teammates.
He took out a list of people and passed it to Paras.
“From the information, we have from the Black Ghosts, these are the direct participants from the Five Great sects, go on and deal with them as you like. Take Vidyut and Tamas with you.
If you go according to the list, you would be able to deal with a few of them that you can definitely handle and get the required information. By then, the situation with Jack’s teacher will be cleared and he wouldn’t interfere, so we can join in.”
Paras held the scroll tightly and took a deep breath before bowing to Sam.
Sam didn’t stop his actions and just let him do it. After bowing for a minute straight, he didn’t even say a word and went away with Vidyut and Tamas.
Sam came back in and sat down with Demon Soul.
“I want some more information about the Five great sects.”
“What kind?”
“I want the information regarding the incident a few decades ago. The incident that involved killing the people of an entire planet without leaving a single lifeform intact.”
Demon Soul who is about to take a bite from the meat stopped in his tracks as he looked at Sam.
“Seems like you do know something about it. I want to know exactly what happened.” Sam said after he got a look at his expression.
“How do you know of this incident? This should have been buried with time.”
“Apparently, the time didn’t succeed. And fate didn’t allow it. The subordinate I just sent away. Paras is the last survivor of the planet. We need to know exactly what happened. I know that he might lose his control over his emotions and might do something stupid, that is why I sent him away.”
“I don’t know the exact details. But what I do know is that not just the planet was massacred. I don’t know how your friend survived, but the aim of that time is to kill every creature on the planet, not just cultivators.”
“Why?” Sam asked in horror. Even though he is a cold-blooded killer himself and he had a decorated record to support that claim, he felt that massacring a whole planet is still something beyond. At least he didn’t do something like that yet.
“I don’t know all the details, but the goal of the expedition is to spread the faith of the gods the Five Great sects worship.
The Five Greats unified some of the large organizations similar to their level far away from this place and took the teams to stray planets in different realms.
That planet is not the only one they visited, in fact, they visited a lot of planets. Around three dozen of them.
The choice of the planets is also quite unique. They selected the planet with the most amount of natural disasters and most of them are caused by the beasts and some other external races that worship other gods.
They played the role of saviors and created habitable living environments for some planets and built temples for their gods.
I even got curious and participated in a few expeditions, but there was no challenge there, so I got bored.
But the next thing I hear is that four planets have been massacred by all of them and not even a single organism on the planet, including the insects, beasts, trees, nothing was left. The life force of the planet was sucked away.
Maybe your friend only stayed there until he witnessed the massacre of the cultivators, but a lot more happened after that.
They killed millions of people and they even contracted some undead creatures, like Ghouls, Wights, and Vampires from the Undead realm to feast on these planets.
They made sure that not a single life form ever comes out of it.”
Sam took a breath of cold air.
“But I have seen the memories of some of the people that participated in the incident, why didn’t I see the rest of this? All I saw is that they are killing all the people randomly.”
“Of course, the subordinates are not there for the whole thing. After that massacre was done, some elders went there to do the rest.”
Sam stayed silent for a moment as he tried to put the pieces together. Seeing this Demon Soul continued.
“I don’t know exactly why they decided to do this, all of a sudden. I don’t know what prompted to make them to promote this fate and stuff.
But after the incident was over, there was a strict restriction on talking about it.
Sam nodded as he stayed silent.
He knew something that the old man doesn’t know.
Within the memories he saw previously, he noticed some things that gave him the necessary information.
It all started with the gods themselves.
When the leaders of the expedition are giving the orders, some of the subordinates also noticed something and follow everything without resistance and that is the presence of their gods.
From what Sam could guess, the gods have possessed the leaders and led the expedition themselves. If he has to speculate, even more, he would think that this might be another one of the games these gods are playing because they were bored.
They must have made a contest on who can build more faith in a certain time and something must have gone extremely wrong in those planets which prompted them to this massacre.
But the big question is what went wrong there?
He cannot know the answer though. The only way he could get is to get the information from the heads of the five sects.
Only they would have enough information regarding this situation.
He then went to a corner along with his friends as he started planning.
He and his friends are going to deal with the young masters of the sects first.
In two to three days, Demon Soul would be gone and until then, they shouldn’t show their hand until then. If they realize the danger they are going to experience, they wouldn’t let Demon Soul go. He was the ultimate trump card that the world doesn’t know.
But since they are so comfortable all these years without any trouble, they are ready to let him go. They cannot disturb this.
“You guys need to create a long scenario and attract the young masters. They should want to beat the crap out of your guys, but they shouldn’t be able to do it.
And since Jack’s teacher is going to leave, the young masters who had some hard time dealing with this guy wouldn’t hesitate. So, take advantage of that.”
