Chapter 616: Union Sect's Plan
The next day, Sam is waiting for the volcanic cannon to shoot the resource out and so did everybody else from Nagin castle and there are also some mermen here who want to give it a try.
This is a part of a deal with the Mermen. Sam already sent a message to Nagin castle that he would be claiming the next resource, but they didn't seem to listen, but he didn't care much.
All he has to do is catch whatever comes without giving others a chance.
Everyone who wants to participate is on the flying beasts and got ready to move as soon as the volcano spits out the item.
They could feel the energy surging from the volcano and Sam also got ready. But he didn't take Sky or Yanwu. He just stood there waiting for it to launch.
In a few minutes, a red glowing orb was spat out of the Volcano high in the sky and Sam made his move, he took out the harbinger and moved like a flash as he increased his altitude along with the steep volcano. The rest of the participants also followed, but the beasts are nowhere near as fast as a harbinger and they couldn't keep up.
Sam launched himself to the top and raised his altitude as much as he can with the volcano as his base and caught the falling red orb.
As soon as the orb touched his hands, it popped like a balloon, and a red-colored transparent crystal bottle with a crystal cork and full of a liquid that seemed to have contained a lot of fire elemental energy was in his hands.
Along with that, there is a string of data in his head.
The name made him surprised.
"Firebird Blood essence."
Firebird is one of the beasts that have a good enough bloodline. Even though it is not as great as the top rate beasts, it is still much better considering the Naga Loka.
But the only disappointing thing is the next string of data. The firebird the blood essence extracted from is just a Pre-transcendent one. At least, it will still be helpful for Yanwu.
He stored it away and started slowly reduced his altitude. Some of the participants are catching up and a lady didn't even bother to halt as she directly attacked. Sam just dodged and passed through the gaps like water passing through a complex ridge and already went out of the encirclement before they could understand what is happening.
He looked at them and waved goodbye as stored the Harbinger and let Sky out and picked up Chatur before flying towards Pearl Lake.
The next day, it is going to give out the pearl and Sam is not missing that. Not after the number of spirit stones, he invested in it.
But when he reached he saw many people already waiting there for the pearl.
The squad members clearly saw loads of spirit stones and they also felt that something is up with the lake and they reported back to the castle after Sam left. Some top dogs within the castle made time out of this war situation and came here to see what they can get.
But when Sam came, they are having conflicting thoughts. He looked at everyone and said with a cold smile.
"I already said, I will break the legs of everyone who tries to get a piece of it. This lake is mine for as long as I stay within the Union dimension. You know what? I am claiming this lake to myself. Get lost everyone."
"You can't do that. This is the property of Nagin Castle and everyone here is as entitled as you with an equal right to share this resource point." One of the Nagas from the Rubrum empire yelled.
"The place was the property of the Union sect when they took it over and I and I alone took it back from them. At first, I only wanted to have it for a few weeks. But what can I do, you ungrateful assholes got greedy and now you want to get a share of it, I am taking it all. Get the fuck out before I make you go away.
But don't expect me to pull punches. I may not stop at the legs,"
He made his point and went to the bank of the lake and Chatur started making the tent and started the barbeque.
Sam sat on the bank of the lake and placed his legs into the water to relax a bit. The peal would be ready by the next day.
He stayed there like that and the remaining people who wanted to try their hand left the place after considering the war situation and Sam's ruthlessness. He killed too many people and if he killed them here and blamed it on the Union sect, there is no one who could trace it back to them.
The next day, the Oyster opened and Sam took out the pearl. Compared to the previous one, this pearl has a lot more spiritual energy and this can actually be used for the cultivation of a Nascent stage cultivator.
Chatur who is standing not so far away could also feel the spiritual energy emitting from the pearl. It has the spiritual energy of a hundred thousand spirit stones.
Even though, that much spiritual energy could only be used for some partial development of a person's cultivation within the Nascent stage and could provide assistance in breaking through the sub-stages. This pearl is different.
It has a hundred percent absorption rate and it can easily be used to break through a level, at least within the middle-stage.
But Sam doesn't have that much of a luxury, because the energy would be shared by all of his beasts and himself. He can devour four to five of them in succession and he still might not have a breakthrough and he is not even looking for one.
He could like to stay at this same level for another few months.
He threw the pearl to Chatur and said.
"Take this as your first salary for the past week. I don't need it."
Chatur held the pearl-like it was a hot potato and was about to reject it, but Sam didn't seem to care at all and waved his hand gesturing him to keep his mouth shut.
Sam wanted to experiment a little more and this time, he threw water elemental stones inside the lake and looked at Chatur.
"Find out which place has a most chaotic situation. The news of that flower boy from Flavos leaving safely and me rescuing would have already reached the Union sect top dogs and the war will take some turn in the next two to three days.
We will be present in the most chaotic place and reap the most out of the situation."
Chatur nodded and left the place.
Meanwhile, within the Union sect headquarters.
There are three people sitting in a private room around a small round table. A Naga, A Yaksha, and a Merman. There is no human here.
"We got the news that the guy from Flavos was rescued and Sam went away scot-free. We don't know where the video is or if the video was seen by anyone. From Sam's style until now, he didn't interrogate anyone and just killed from long-range. Direct battles and interrogation doesn't seem to be his style." The merman spoke and the other two understood what he was implying.
"You might be right. But we cannot be sure that he didn't see the video. After all, he also collects the spatial rings and he might have seen the video."
"Even that is okay. The worst-case scenario is the video reaching the emperors. The six commanders are young and they will be impulsive to make the decision to start the fight between themselves. But once the video reaches any of the emperors, they will immediately understand what is happening and the plan will not go as it should be."
The Yaksha said.
"What other way do we have? We should do something about the current deadlock. We cannot maintain it for a long time. We have to either create a conflict within the Nagin castle or directly finish off the war.
If the situation is still as calm as it is now, then the emperors will send other elites. We heard that some new humans came to the Nagin Planet and are all extremely proficient in combat. They are elite of the elite and this Sam also appeared at the same time.
So, it would be better if we do what we have to do before they came. Otherwise, we would be in trouble." The Naga man said.
"We should first see if the news of us trying this was revealed or not. So, we have to observe the situation first. If there is no unrest within the enemies, then we would just go ahead with the war and crippled the troops.
Sectum will definitely try to get in touch with us because of our sudden change of plans of not leaving the other half of the resource points for him and we can use that situation to leak the information to the troops.
Even if the emperors came to know about our plan, if we could finish all this before they react, the war between the nations is bound to escalate."
