Chapter 397: Philip to the Kali empire
Chapter 397: Philip to the Kali empire
After handing over Arc to the Old beast, Sam returned. Of course, the Old beast easily agreed to train him.
Arc is quite talented as he reached Level-6 transcendent stage with the limited resources he had. In fact, from what Sam knew there is no specific lineage of Transcendent stage cultivators in the empire. Arian family, the imperial family is trying to create a lineage, until it is established, they will have to face the Transcendent cultivation as an unknown thing and face it all by themselves.
But now, things are going to change.
Arc for the first time after he reached the Transcendent stage is going to receive guidance. He is a lightning elemental user, Old Beast is a Raiju who is at an extremely high cultivation level.
From what Sam knew and heard from Yanwu, the Raiju clan should be in the same realm as the Golden Sun crow clan. But Yanwu doesn’t know much about them as their territories are too distant.
Such Raiju was locked down in the mortal realm.
There are only a handful of entities that might best Old beast in the understanding of lightning laws.
And that valley is indeed a great training place for lightning users, but Old beast doesn’t like anyone to come there so they weren’t able to obtain any form of benefits from there.
But now that Old beast agreed to let Arc in, then he can train there.
He would breakthrough the Consummate realm sooner or later.
Sam returned through the same series of Space gates and after he reached the city, the first thought that came to his mind is to look in the divine dimension’s library to see if there is any form of information on returning scroll designs. If he used the returning scrolls that could send people beyond the Nascent stage, then they can travel faster.
The Space gates are honestly too time-consuming and three constant space gate travels are giving him a headache.
He walked to his residence and entered the Divine dimension.
He has to finish the first puppet design.
He has six months to Palace of inheritance and he has to go there, if there is something on par with the thunder prison, he wouldn’t want to lose it.
In these six months, he has many things to do, manufacture as many puppets as he can. Cultivate, and start working on the second design of the puppets.
Apart from that, he would have to make arrangements for the new construction that is happening in the nearby woods.
Two days later. Philip led a group of people to the newly constructed Space gate and they appeared in the Kali empire of the Beast faction.
They ventured into the city and went to meet the Emperor.
As soon as they visited the Palace and gave their names to the attendants along with the details of where they came from
They were led to a meeting room.
The room was empty and no one is there.
After a few minutes, a pre-transcendent cultivator of the Beast faction, followed by several Nascent stage cultivators entered the room and took the seats opposite to them.
Behind them, the Emperor of the Kali stood obediently.
The Pre-transcendent cultivator looked at Philip and said coldly.
“How arrogant can Sam be? When dealing with the beast faction, he didn’t come personally. Is this deal even sincere?”
Philip looked at him and didn’t reply.
He placed a booklet on the table.
They are the contract details required for the partnership.
Looking at Philip’s silent treatment, the other guy snorted and looked at the Booklet.
The thing is, the whole beast faction is not exactly happy about the deal.
Sam beat the crap out of them and their former faction-head. They don’t know the full story of Sam’s past. They don’t care enough to confirm what the exact enmity is.
They do know one thing though and that is Sam is their enemy and so are his friends who accompanied him in destroying their faction.
But all of a sudden, the faction head came and said that their enmity with Sam is now over and they are going to make a business deal with them.
All they have to do is reach the consensus on whatever terms that Sam places.
How can they accept that? They wanted to protest, but the faction-head simply didn’t care.
As he read through the documents, the Pre-transcendent stage cultivator became angrier and angrier.
The partnership is only five percent, but they have to give away the land and even have to protect them. This is definitely a losing deal.
Apart from that, they also have to submit a catalog of the beasts which they are farming in their faction. And Sam would buy some beasts with seventy percent of the market price.
As they are the Beast faction, there is naturally a farm for the beasts, in fact, they have multiple farms.
But this is outrageous.
Farming is not something they do for selling. In fact, there are some minor farms which they use to farm the beasts to sell them.
But they are not the best of the best and the rare beasts wouldn’t be there.
But what Sam asking is not those beasts, he is asking for the rare beasts that are being reared in the beast faction.
He slammed the document on the table and a crack appeared.
“How dare you ask for these preposterous conditions? Do you think the prestige of the Beast faction is that easy to challenge?”
Philip still didn’t reply, he leaned back on his chair and crossed his hands.
“If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, no one is leaving here. How dare you humiliate the Beast faction? At first, your boss didn’t come and now the person who came, you are not even bothered to reply? What is the meaning of this?”
He pointed his finger at Philip and bellowed.
Philip still didn’t reply.
The Pre-transcendent went on to hurl insults. After some time, he lost patience and said.
“Detain them here, we will be going back to the faction and discuss this with the rest of the Elders and grand elders.
The faction-head did a big mistake.”
Just like that, Philip and his group are escorted to the Beast faction, even before they opened their mouths and spoke.
After reaching the Beast faction, they are even thrown into their prison.
As for why this Pre-transcendent stage cultivator was this arrogant, that is because he is son of a Grand elder.
There are two grand elders in the faction and one of them is currently Sravan.
The other Grand elder is not present in the beast faction when Sam attacked, so they don’t know, but his son has been there.
His ass was kicked due to the Devouring vines and he held a grudge.
Within the Beast faction, no one would dare to provoke him, but he was humiliated by a junior.
So, he deliberately intercepted the original representative, who should have gone to finish the deal, and took the role himself.
But one must wonder if he has a brain. If all he can do is capture Philip and the rest, then he seemed to thought truly highly of himself or utterly ignorant.
The previous destruction of the beast faction also started with kidnap after all.
Philip didn’t speak all this while.
He guessed something like this would happen and there is little surprise in that.
They don’t even have to deal with this matter, because there is someone who will do It in his stead.
The Beast faction was in uproar, many disciples in the faction are ecstatic when they heard about the incident.
They all came to prisons to take a look.
Many hurled insults at him one by one and some threatened him.
The news soon traveled to Sai when he was in the middle of meeting with some elders and the chair and table broke from the shock wave when he heard the news.
He immediately ran towards the grand elder’s residence where the remaining elders are already gathered.
He frowned when he saw the line-up. He felt that they are indeed plotting something behind his back.
He didn’t bother with anyone, not even the Grand Elder, and directly looked at the Pre-transcendent stage cultivator.
“Who gave you the right to lead the representatives? Who gave you the authority to imprison them?”
The Pre-transcendent didn’t say anything as he sweated bullets.
Sai’s pressure is too much to bear.
“Faction-head, even though he didn’t act upon orders, he did capture someone from the enemy’s side and the prisoner seemed to be second in command. You should commend him for his services. Not rebuke him.”
“Commend him my ass.” He coldly spat and looked at the Grand elder who spoke. The Grand Elder was stunned, he didn’t expect this strong of a reaction from Sai.
He coldly continued saying.
“Where do you think the previous destruction began? Kidnapping. With your intelligence, how did you even cultivate to this stage? Sam’s most trusted subordinate was kidnapped last time, Half of the beast faction was the price.
Are you trying to force another massacre upon us?”
“But..” The Grand elder wanted to say something, but Sai cut off.
“Do you want to die? What do you know about him? Old One died in his hands, Sravan is still lying on the bed. Next, it would be you if you pursue this matter further. If I know that you did something, I will personally kill you and hand you over to him.”
