Chapter 1238: Explosion
Chapter 1238: Explosion
While Sam is discussing the situation with the team and his friends, Demon Soul arrived back in the city and he directly went to the Five Great sects’ common area.
When the attendants saw him, they immediately ran to inform their superiors. One of the grand elders in charge of the supervision came out and looked at him with a smile.
“Hello, Demon Soul. What are you doing here? Did you forget something?”
“I want to use the Wormholes.”
The smile on the Grand Elder froze for a moment before he continued.
“Well, the wormholes connecting this planet to another area in the city a few hundred miles to the east. From that planet, you can use the wormholes connecting to another realm, I will give you an attendant who will escort you there. With our relationship in mind, you wouldn’t be charged and you wouldn’t even need to wait.”
The Grand elder tried his best to sound casual. But Demon Soul is having none of it.
“Don’t play this bullshit with me. I know better than anyone that your sect grounds have wormholes connecting to outside realms. Your act of generosity to leave the wormhole station far away is nothing but bull crap. You found two sets of wormholes connecting this ream to another and one complete set is here.
You rat bastards are so afraid that you chose this place that connects to a faraway realm so that you can escape. I want to enter that realm. So, be good and let me get in, otherwise, you would be having trouble of your lifetime.”
The Grand Elder didn’t even know how to react, but by now, other grand elders and even some sect leaders arrived and when they heard these words, they are also a bit surprised.
It is their secret. When their founders are conquering this realm, they found different wormholes in different planets connecting each other, but there is one planet that has connections with nearby realms and another one with a faraway realm that barely has any connection with the realms nearby. It is not only their escape plane but also a training ground and resource gathering area. They didn’t expect that their secret is not a secret for a long time.
Demon Soul looked at all of them and said.
“I will count to five, if you let me in, nothing will happen, if you don’t I will cut through all of you and go inside.”
1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5. “
Everyone was dumbfounded by how fast his counting is and before they could React, he directly took out his sword and attacked.
The first Grand Elder in front of him was split into two while he went after the second one and the third.
The grand elders and sect leaders were in a frenzy as for the first time, Demon Soul is not holding back at all. His strength is too high. Too high to the point they cannot even guess his cultivation level.
All of a sudden, the sect leaders knelt on the ground and yelled.
“MERCY.”
Demon Soul stopped with a disappointed expression. The sect leaders themselves led him to the portal and he has to leave.
Before leaving, he turned to the direction where the cave residence is and muttered.
“This is the parting gift. Don’t waste it.”
The sect leaders didn’t understand, but they didn’t dare ask too.
After he was gone, the Sect leaders, immediately sealed the sect doors and didn’t let the news of them losing serval grand elders leave to the outside world. They even went so far as killing some subordinates that are directly involved in this.
Luckily, Demon Soul didn’t create a large ruckus and killed everyone with one sword blow, not many people arrived there.
But that didn’t change the fact that they weakened tremendously. If a rival organization makes its move, the five great sects will collapse. They really wished that no one has those thoughts.
But the wishes always wouldn’t come true.
For the next few days, Sam’s team completely split up as they went after different targets.
Sam created copies of every dirty thing the Five Great sects ever did and started spreading them all over the city or the town the team visited to kill anyone.
They didn’t even spare the information related to the Five Great sects’ secret activities to screw over some rival organization. He revealed the information of the spies placed by the Sects in different organizations and he made sure that information went to the spies of the rival organization present in this particular one.
In just one week, they killed around one hundred and twenty-six members in total while leaking all kinds of information.
The Five Great sects went into a panic.
Just when they thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, it did. Nobody knows how the information regarding their darkest secrets and their most vulnerable things got out like this and they are spreading like wildfire.
Whoever did this, they have no filter on when to stop as they just leaked all kinds of information. One of the young master’s sexuality was also leaked, as he liked men, there is even video proof for that, but he is scheduled to marry the young mistress of another organization that is just slightly less strong than the Five Great sects.
Not just that, the information regarding how one branch of the five sects screwed over another is also being spread and the internal affairs of the five sects are too tense.
By the end of the weak, the sect leaders couldn’t even stand each other’s presence as they realized how badly they screwed each other over. They plotted against each other for resource points, planets, women, and even business deals from higher-level organizations.
When they were doing it, all they could see is that one particular occasion and the benefits that come with it, but now that all of it was added up, it was apparent that they cannot even trust each other.
Many grand elders died already and the leaders didn’t have any unity left. With this, all the burden was left to some grand elders who are still alive. But for the Fire sect, not a single grand elder was alive and an elder with a relatively higher birth has to take charge.
They all met in the common ground to discuss things, but what they don’t know is that Sam is waiting for them to gather there.
A young attendant came out of the common area as soon as the meeting started. He directly made his way out of the inner city and then the outer city and only stopped when he reached the forest.
He is none other than Kiran.
He was already sent in three days ago to leave some gifts to the Five Sects.
“Only Grand Elders are gathering, the Sect leaders don’t want to come and meet. They did too many backstabbings to be peacefully cooperative. We would need to wait a lot of time to deal with them.”
He informed Sam after he arrived at the cave residence.
“Well, we can make do with the current situation, As long as they are weakened further, it is all okay.”
Sam said as he controlled a small insect puppet that was left behind by Kiran there.
The puppet circled around as it finally landed on one spot and Sam crushed a token.
*boom*
A puppet exploded. It is not exactly large and destructive. It went away with a small explosion, but something else happened after that explosion.
The fire and ice elemental energy suddenly raised in the surroundings creating a hot and cold alternative atmosphere. They couldn’t understand what is happening and soon realized that the stone pillars that have various sculptures on them have some kind of containers that appeared out of nowhere as they glowed with red and blue energy.
*BOOM*
A large explosion occurred and it is focused precisely on the Grand Hall.
The fire and Ice elemental energies clashed with each other and wreaked havoc in the surroundings, the attendants and disciples that are near the grand hall were blown away by the impact. Some of them died, but some of them survived.
But the people that survived wished they were dead as both fire elemental corrosion and ice elemental corrosion made their way into their bodies.
They could feel some muscle fibers and meridians freezing while some others are burning. The spiritual energy in their bodies became chaotic as they couldn’t control it to resist the corrosion effects.
When the explosion cleared, all the sect leaders who are nesting in their own quarters until now already arrived at the blast scene and looked for the grand elders.
The one elder who is not powerful enough died, two grand elders were in the comatose stage while the remaining two are barely conscious.
All their bodies are being corroded by ice and fire elemental energy.
Sam didn’t use much energy in this controlled explosion, at least this is way less than what he used in dealing with the puppet organization.
His goal is not to directly kill the grand Elders, rather make them useless as well as to give the sect leaders something to fear.
