Chapter 640: Exchange
Everything went on too fast and the temporary partners weren't able to react. They did want to make a move on the Elite ten when they came, but their companions stopped them. After all, no one wants to provoke a sect full of assassins without a valid reason.
For Sandra and Praneeth, there are enough reasons to help, but for the rest of their teams, they had enough reasons to stop them.
By the time, they managed to get past their own members and wanted to make a move, this already happened.
The four remaining members from the sect wanted to escape, and when they were about to follow, Sam said coldly.
"Don't follow them. Let them go. I will settle this myself."
Sam looked at the horse that is lying on the ground with some vines still entangled to it. He swiftly cut them all and looked at the wound as he observed the damage.
The stab sliced the internal organs into two and there is a lot of blood loss. Sam carefully healed as he set the broken bones and repaired the internal organs after arranging them properly in the place.
He used his own energy and the heavenly wine to clean the wounds of the internal organs and slowly healed. The whole operation took three hours and no one dared to move from that spot except for the four members of the Union sect.
After healing, the horse finally woke up and looked at Sam as she liked his face.
Sam smiled faintly and just like that the beast tide stopped.
Now, it is easy to clean up and defend as the beasts wouldn't have anyone directing them and most of them would be keen on finding a new residence than attacking the castles. In fact, they would be fighting among themselves too.
Now, the whole Union dimension is a wheat field with a ripe yield. All they have to do is go in and harvest to the best of the ability and they would gain a lot.
But Sam is not exactly in a mood to take advantage and gather his own beast army.
Rather, he suddenly has an urge to kill someone. Even though he healed the beast, he barely managed to do so. The beast still needs a lot of rest nutrients to get back to its original shape.
He looked towards the direction the four of them ran and Sam took a huge swig from the Heavenly wine and started gulping down hard as he forcefully recovered his energy, before boarding the harbinger. He looked at the Mare and said.
"Keep up with me."
The Mare cannot fight in its full capacity, but Sam doesn't want it for the battle.
The horse nodded and started running and soon she is stepping into the air as they dashed out of the forest.
Sam is not using his full speed, but he is still quite fast among the Nascent stage cultivators and not many could keep up, but the horse did even in her injured state.
Sam activated his energy vision. At this moment, flight is actually an extremely dangerous mode of transportation as the whole sky is infested with a lot of beasts.
Everyone who flies would take full brunt.
Sam is also maintaining a low altitude as they ran. Sam is using his eye technique and sense of smell from Raiju to find the traces of them.
They reached the end of traces after a while, but he is not disappointed, as far as he knew there is a base of Union sect nearby.
Sam and the horse just rushed towards that place and they directly entered the place as they owned it. Sam held the reaper and executioner as he just sliced through anyone that came into his way. The battle is one-sided pretty much as the people who were sliced by the executioner would get busy worrying about the corrosion and wouldn't have time to battle.
And Sam released the five shadows to help him along with some undead that could create some chaos.
Finally, the person in charge of the base arrived and asked for a truce.
"The last four of the Elite ten, where are they?"
"They didn't come here." The leader said with an anxious expression.
Sam looked at him and pointed his sword at him. Looking at this scene the leader immediately broke and said.
"They did come here, but they are not here now, they already escaped. They only came here to get a guide who knows the hiding spots and familiar with the area. But even I don't know where they are gone."
"What is the most plausible route?"
"They might go for the next base."
Sam didn't bother with him anymore. The horse just followed and drank some blood of the beasts while she was at him.
They reached the next base after a while and the same scene repeated, they came here, but they left after getting a guide.
Sam did understand why they are doing this, generally, they would take flight and travel, but now the situation is a bit different. They couldn't take flight as the beasts are everywhere and they even land route is not safe, so they had to find the people who are most familiar with the terrain so that they can avoid the beasts and battles so that Sam wouldn't catch up.
They moved from one base to another and Sam followed their path. He felt a path of blood behind.
The killing intent is extreme and the beasts are not even bothering with them and let them go and some foolish beasts on that interrupted being sliced into two also helped.
The news traveled faster than them. There is no way this could be hidden. Everyone was shaken by Sam's tyranny.
The four Elites are also feeling regret and fear. They thought that was their only chance to deal with Sam and they also didn't want him to get another beast to be his companion.
The beast is too strong, that is why they took the chance.
Their only goal now was to get to the main base of the Union sect. There the defensive fortifications are better and they have a better chance at surviving.
Sam moved through the dimension for a week. At any possible time, if he had sped up he might have already caught up. But he didn't do so. He made sure that the four of them would definitely feel the fear and anxiousness of losing their lives.
By the time, Sam reached the location of their final base, the news traveled outside. The Nagin planet emperors are really looking forward to what will happen.
But before they could do so, some situations happened.
A public inn of the imperial capital of the Mov was destroyed and there was only one thing left in that place. It is a scroll.
"Let us end this peacefully." There is a symbol of the Union sect in place of the signature and there is even a location that was supposed to be a place for their negotiations.
As for the destruction of the inn, there are no lives lost, but it is clearly a warning.
The Emperor along with the Marshall went to the location and there a man with a face covered appeared. They spent the whole day discussing and the two of them returned to the capital without doing anything.
Meanwhile, back in the Union dimension. Sam took a break for the day as he waited at the foot of the mountain on which the sect is located. He gave them an ultimatum that if they don't hand over the four of them, he will storm down the whole sect.
But there was no answer.
After the day was over and Sam was about to do well on his words. A group of twenty appeared before him and they are holding the four Elites as they brought them.
They threw the four of them towards Sam and left without taking anything.
Sam looked at the four of them. They are clearly battered and weary. They don't have any confidence or exhaustion in their bodies.
He looked at the horse and she understood what he meant without him saying anything. She lunged on to the first guy and bit him in the neck as she sucked the blood completely.
The other three are clearly afraid of this, but they didn't dare to move.
After sucking all the blood out, the first guy is already out cold. But she didn't stop, she went on munching onto his body until only the bones left.
Sam looked at the rest of them with a smile. The horse requires a lot of nutrients to recover to its top condition and consuming this much blood will also increase the ease of his bloodline refinement.
The mare continued as she munched and stuffed herself with the flesh of a Naga, a human, a Yaksha, and a Merman.
The people who threw the four of them out because of the orders are looking at this with trepidation from afar.
They gulped hard.
They got the orders that the Union sect would be entering a truce with the Nagin castle and wouldn't fight for the next twenty years and also the sect wouldn't take any missions in the Nagin Planet for that period of time.
All of this and their four lives in exchange for Sam's restraint towards the Union sect members.
The sect in the Nascent layer of the dimension is their foundation. They couldn't lose it no matter what.
Sam took the mare back and finished the bloodline refinement at the lake.
Her name is Dia and she would be staying with him from now on. Now that all of this is over, it is time for him to tie the loose ends in the Nagin planet and leave the place and go back to his home planet.
His conflicting thoughts will only be answered once he went there.
