Chapter 894: More Killing (2/2)

When he heard the description, he felt his mouth grow dry.

He remembered Watt's words. A message.

If just the people are not enough, these thirty men are clearly a message that is loud and clear.

The young head looked at all the Astral Plane cultivators in the room, they are showing different expressions.

Some displaying anger, some grief and some are nonchalant, but there is one emotion mixed with all these other emotions. Fear. In fact, they are terrified.

They cannot imagine themselves in the position of those thirty, but there is a high chance that they could be there. It might happen anytime soon.

They don't want to be there, but for that, they have two options, either catching the perpetrator or leaving the war.

Both of them are not immediate options they could choose and from the looks of it, both of these need a certain amount of sacrifices.

It is just that they are afraid they might be one of those sacrifices.

The young head also started feeling that fear.

”We have to catch him as soon as possible. Did he say anything?”

The head asked his son who came out of his daze because of the sudden call and responded.

”There is a high chance it is Sam. The style of the puppet matches with his. At least that is what he said.”

”Anything else?”

”Yes, he said that the whole city sleeping might be a message. It is like an announcement of his presence. Watt said that he is an expert in poisons and he is very creative with what he makes.”

”How good?”

”From what he said, the sleeping poison is nothing. He can make all of them die a slow death or just let their flesh rot and fall off of their body.

It is that simple, at least that is what he said.”

”We need a reply to that message. There is no turning back. Think of something quick.”

And then started another discussion and the results are shown the next day.

The patrols from the Kala tribe started yelling threats out in the open.

”Sam, you better come out. We know you are here. If you don't your friend will die a slow and torturous death.”

”The second I find out where you are, I will catch you and rip your limbs off of your body.”

”Watt is going to suffer the more you delay. Half of the estate can hear his screams.”

When Sam and his subordinates heard this, they didn't even know whether they should laugh or feel pity for them.

They couldn't understand in what world is threatening a person who almost killed your city a good idea, when they don't even know his location.

But Sam understood where their confidence came from.

They actually shifted Watt from that secret tower to one of the residences in the city.

In fact, even that was announced by the patrols and Sam had to confirm it with the shadow mouse. Even though it couldn't go in completely, it managed to get a glimpse, but the security is too tight for even the Shadow mouse.

It is confident that it could enter, but it would be too risky. The place where that residence was located is a bit isolated and there are no shadows that could be present in the surroundings.

So shadow mouse has to wait till dark if he wants to know any information and they are even playing different tricks, but placing some kind of security in three to four isolated places like this within the city.

Trying to give him an illusion that Watt might be present in any of these areas.

This could have worked if the shadow mice are not present, but to their bad luck, he is present and even if he had to wait for the night to use them, it wouldn't hurt him at all.

So, Sam started a new plan for the night and this involved one of his most used things. The Specter.

The specter and Shadow mice worked together.

The specter and the shadow mice moved into the city that night.

An Astral Plane cultivation specter is too rare to see.

It would have been already taken over some body and became some undead lord in normal cases, but here it is. Sam is slowly nurturing it along with it.

After they entered.

Within one of the false camps. The guards are a bit lax with their duty. They are Astral Plane cultivators and they enjoyed certain prestige on this planet, but now they are on guard duty, so they are clearly frustrated.

One of them who is stretching and yawning in boredom suddenly held his dagger and stabbed another cultivator in the heart from the rear.

Before the remaining could react, he already moved to another side and stabbed another guy in the throat without even caring about the opponent's sword that came for his chest.

The whole tent became chaotic and a battle started.

Three people died in total and two more are severely injured. Only one of them managed to escape scot-free, but he couldn't even speak he is so terrified by what he saw.
