Chapter 87 - The Why (2/2)
”Why did they ally with you, their enemy?” Yan Zaizen inquired.
”Han Genji stole a piece of a mid-grade essence crystal, and we attempted to retrieve it. This piece could easily allow either of us to reach the grand-tier force by developing a half-step True Essence cultivator. Unfortunately, mid-transit, Han Genji snatched it. The very reason we kept him alive was for him to reveal where the crystal was. If found, we would split it in half. Till the very end, he refused. He was later executed and our operation ended.” He answered immediately.
A piece of mid-grade essence crystal? A PIECE? He was executed over a piece!! It wasn't even a full essence crystal, but a piece! He knew that low-grade essence crystal is top quality material used for True Essence cultivators, while mid-grade was exceptionally beneficial to them, but it still infuriated him. He also knew that Han Genji and the Soaring Cloud Sect couldn't live under the same sky, but it still felt ridiculous that the Earthly Titan Sect would agree.
It was probably more complicated than this, but the missing part was likely known only by the Earthly Titan Sect.
Softly nodding at the answer while holding in his anger, Yan Zaizen continued his questioning, ”Why was the Yan Clan taken by the Water Veil Sect?”
The clan leader didn't even skip a beat to answer, even though he was curious as to how this matters, if it leads to another force that he hated to suffer, why not spill everything? ”After the dispute, the Ya Clan left and resided in the Water Veil Territory. Unfortunately, the Yan Clan didn't like this and attacked the Ya Clan, killing a few and capturing others. From what I know, the Water Veil Sect demanded us to hand them over or launch full-blown war. We relented. In truth, we were going to eliminate them ourselves. I suppose the Ya Clan wanted the pleasure.” He spoke casually.
The Yan Clan was the source of their issues; how could they not decide to thoroughly eliminate this failure of a clan?
Yan Zaizen was quiet for a moment, following up, ”Do you know if they're still alive?” However, the clan leader immediately shook his head, obviously ignorant.
Taking a deep breath, he gave a soft nod. ”Thanks.” A tendril constructed of silver-blue aurora-like soul energy formed, with two sharp movements, both of the last of the upper-echelon members of the Soaring Cloud Sect was dealt with. Their deaths as painless as possible.
Finally taking a gander at Zhao Huoli, he spoke softly, ”Do you know what's happened to the Yan Clan?”
This question caused shivers to run down Zhao Huoli's spine, and he couldn't help but shake his head nervously. The Water Veil Sect was now a grand-tier force with a True Essence expert at the helm; they wouldn't dare send spies to investigate details regarding them at this very moment. It'll be like asking for conflict if a mishap occurred.
Suddenly, his vision turned black as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Yan Zaizen turned around, ignoring the young woman's startled look. With a voice filled with harsh anger, he instructed, ”Take it all.”
