Chapter 1099: Aftermath (2/2)

But where did he go? No one knows.

The most nervous of all is actually leader 2. He joined hands with leader 3 after Leader 1 made a deal with leader 4 to suppress him. Now that leader 3 is gone, he would be forced to deal with leader 4 all by himself and he doesn't have any confidence in doing so. Particularly with his new expansion of the territory, things wouldn't be easy for him to start a war.

And leader 3's son is also in a pickle. The trusted subordinates of his father advised him to collect as many resources as possible and leave the place immediately.

They knew that the rest of the leaders will now look at Leader 3's territory like a big fat piece of meat ready to be eaten. Every leader would want a share.

That is a lot of territory. But at the same time, they are worried about the third party involved. The third-party which they speculated as someone the leader 1 hired.

But they couldn't bring themselves to just let this go and leave the territory to rot like that.

So, all the leaders had some tacit understanding. They would just take over leader 3's territory and leave Leader 1's territory up for grabs for himself if he ever shows up.

As for Leader 2 who was involved in the war, Leader 4 is not going to let it go, but Leader 3 who is also adjacent to leader 2's territory is also planning to take a bit over. They all knew that at least one more leader is going to die.

But only Sam knew that more than one is going to die.

After all, starting the conflict is the harder part, since the conflict already started escalating is a piece of cake. This might take two more months to reach the final stages, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be worth it.

From the looks of it, Black Curtain is the most troublesome of all, so it would be easy for them after this was done.

And Sam didn't stop there. Someone anonymously tipped Phoenix tail sect about the Black Curtain who made a move on their future hope and their current situation.

So, now they are going to join in the fun.

Sam created chaos as time passed. Every day they arrived at one of the Black curtain's locations and just did things to escalate the situation more and more as the war intensified.

Nobody wanted to back down and even the Phoenix Tail sect is too involved and embroiled in the war.

And Sam took the chance to contact the rival of the Phoenix Tail sect and made a deal with them. All that he has to say is that they have some bad blood and want revenge. They would create chaos while they take over the Phoenix Tail sect's territory.

Everything went well.

And two and a half months later. The final battles took place between leaders and Sam collected one fragment after another. In every battle, one leader disappeared while the other one died.

And finally, only leader 4 remained and he managed to make peace with the Phoenix tail sect from his side.

He even offered to help them with the war against their rivals.

But after he promised, Leader 4 mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.

Only at that moment did Sam finally selected the Black Curtain in the list.

He noticed that all the leaders have a statue of Hel in their lairs, so Sam performed the ritual from the Leader 4's lair after they dealt with him to talk to Hel.

”How are you doing, Hel?”

”This is awfully fast.”

Hel said calmly.

”Not really, It has been a few months. How clever of you to include an organization like Black Curtain in this game. That is as big as six organizations combined.”

”But Leader is still a Peak stage Transcendent cultivator.”

”Anyway, thanks for the Myriad Curse guide. It is really good. It really helped me in dealing with your organization.”

Hel was dumbfounded.

”Okay, that is all I wanted to say. So, goodbye.”

With that, Sam destroyed the statue and left.
