Chapter 1137: To to the Second Puppet Realm (1/2)
The two branch leaders and the rest of the organization members waited for an hour, but the explosion didn't come.
After some thought, they neared the estate and they could feel the energy waves reduced. They finally managed to muster enough courage to enter the core area once again and as soon as they entered the core area, they were dumbfounded.
All the furnaces are not working and got shut down. Mostly because their outerbodies were molten and the formation laid on them to keep them working disappeared along with that molten material.
But the core furnace is different. They didn't know what exactly happened to it as the body of the furnace is completely intact, when they neared it though, all they could feel the faint fire elemental waves.
Both Branch leaders became suspicious and suddenly they remembered the words of Agni. He said someone would come for the heirloom.
That is what they were told and that person's name is Sam.
But after the incident with the first branch leader's death and Dayus' supposed involvement along with the probable plot of the five great sects, they almost forgot about it. But as soon as they saw the furnace which is becoming cold, they couldn't help but remember it and run to check.
The more they checked the paler the branch leaders' faces became.
They didn't expect that the core would be missing at such a crucial time. This means only one thing. The person named Sam succeeded.
After all, even though the First young master said that there are other people who also wanted to get their heirloom along with Sam, the god only mentioned about Sam excluding others. Even if there are other people, they are willing to believe Sam himself did this.
They retreated and checked the situation of the whole organization.
After looking at the whole situation, they don't know what to say. Their prison was destroyed, their library was robbed, many of their elders and guards were dead. Their core furnace was gone. Their losses were devastating.
When they looking through the dead bodies and the skeletons and started counting the casualties near the prison and started investigating it, they found out that they saw six prisoners escape.
Kiran was not noticed by anyone as he kept on shifting his appearance.
When the two branch leaders went through the information regarding the six prisoners, they felt a little trepidation when they saw the details.
All the prisoners were either unfairly imprisoned or the people belonging to the enemy factions.
They didn't know what they would be facing because of their escape.
While they are thinking and started cleaning up the mess, Sam is facing the six prisoners.
Kiran already changed back to his form as Sam removed the seal completely. He got his reward and finally felt relieved.
Sam faced the six prisoners and said.
”Four of you are unfairly imprisoned by the Puppet organization because of some petty grudges and the two are from a rival organization.
I assume that all of you have great resentment towards the Puppet organization.
So, I offer you a deal. I will release the seal placed on you completely and in exchange, you help me destroy the remaining two branches of the puppet organization.”
The six of them looked at Sam and the Night Ghost who is an Astral Plane Consummate cultivator. They didn't expect that the person that made them escape has that much fire power.
All his subordinates are of Astral Plane transcendence and they all have dangerous auras. They are the best of the best among their peers.
Seeing that no one is talking, Sam said.
”You guys have an hour to think about. We need to move immediately. So, do make your choice quickly.”
With that, Sam went back to the camp as he started roasting a hind leg of a goat type beast on a fire created with some special wood.
At this moment, Markan stepped forward to him and hesitated to speak. Sam looked at him but didn't say anything waiting for the other party to talk first.
After some contemplation, Markan finally opened his mouth.
”I need to have a word in private.”
Sam left the roasting to Argan and went to talk with him separately.
”So, what do you want to talk about?” Sam asked casually.
”Are you familiar with seals?”
”A bit, why?”
”Apart, from the seal that was placed on me by the puppet organization there is another seal placed by someone else. I don't know what kind of seal that is. And anyone who can remove a seal like that is someone I cannot meet. I wonder if you could help me.
