Chapter 332: Plot (2/2)

Before they could react, Sam injected a small amount of spiritual energy and the metallic cylinder popped open, but there is no scroll, spirit or anything, a small fog appeared out of it and disappeared into the atmosphere.

They were all puzzled at first and felt that Sam might have mastered the technique in the container, they never gave a thought whether the whole thing is fake or not.

Only until, they noticed the movement in the cylinder which was kept in their robes or pockets. After all, everyone is carrying the container, so that they could feed the spiritual energy to it continuously.

When all of them looked at the container, they felt their minds go blank as a black coloured vine suddenly creeped out of it and expanded to all over their body and pierced straight into their heads, hearts and dantians.

They targeted the three main important aspects of a cultivator and a human. One of them is their heart, the spiritual consciousness and the final one the spiritual core.

The vine crazily started drinking the spiritual energy.

The faces of everyone turned pale. The only people who doesn't have this are the Ancestor, Sanjay's uncle, the non-core members and Sanjay himself.

The higher-level cultivators are barely able to resist it, but the spiritual energy was still leaking away, but the nascent stage cultivators, felt their world go dizzy, but they were forcefully stood up by the vines themselves.

All of this is Sam's trap. The fifth founder and the whole treasure and fortune is utter bull-shit he created from the info he was able to gather.

The vines are called Devouring vines. They devour the soul, the spiritual energy and even the blood. But these do have some drawbacks, they need any of the three to grow up and they have to come from a living being other than flora.

But in the stage of infancy, they wouldn't be able to hold their own against the beasts in the wild, so they are never the worries of any cultivators.

But Sam used this quality to his own advantage.

He created these containers with the same principle as the spatial device which was given to him by Vickers when bought the Crystal Bamboos.

The only difference being, the fact that they can grow in their level when they are still inside when the spiritual energy is injected inside.

For the week he stayed within the Resting Place, he created this place and only said this to Philip and Jack on the last day and lied to them about finding it.

He did so, because of the fact he knew that Arman is sending his info to the Beast faction with that special butterfly.

After all, he is the best when it comes to gathering info and he left a shadow mouse with him since the time he came to him with the thought of needing the thunder prison.

He felt doubtful, because he knew that there is no way for Arman to naturally know the importance of the thunder prison and after all, he only knew so much info because of the exchange he made with the Avatar Sanchez.

And he learned about the source being the spirit of the blade and made this plan carefully after he received the info about Arman trying to giveaway his location to the beast faction.

So, he carefully kept the fact about him plotting all this from Arman.

As for the vines, they are bred and grown by the cultivators of the beast faction themselves and now it is the same energy which they crazily and delightedly delivered to the vines, which is trying to kill them.

While they are trying their best to take control of the situation, they felt strong spiritual energy getting into a turmoil at the place of their residences.

The turmoil started spreading in different places in just a few seconds and that included the libraries, their beast farms, court etc.

The Ancestor who was about relieve the Faction-head of his pain, suddenly diverted his attention towards the other areas.

This is what Jack and Philip are doing.

Sam took out the harbinger while, Watt took out the silver wind, they both hovered outside in a blink of an eye, but just before they were about leave the Battle-ground, Sam three an destabilized energy cell in the middle-of the Nascent stage cultivators, who almost made their move on him.
