Chapter 1001: Talking with Hou Yi
Sam and the rest of the team watched the scenario play out with Paras.
They didn't expect the things to escalate to this level. The tension between the elves is far too stronger than they thought and their power structure is messy to begin with. When there is an option of being physically strong with a power that could kill others and control their life, it is almost impossible for anyone to accept other people as their superior when all they have is a better cunning mind.
At least not when the people with power to kill believes that there is nothing the people with mind can offer to them.
Therefore elves will have a harsher relations between themselves.
But it turned out it is harsher than they thought.
The third elder and the third young master who are powerful are not trying to get out of the estate while battling the rest of the elders that came to stop them.
The whole situation is messy and the weaker elves are trying to find a place to hide.
That day, the elven branch is getting weaker and weaker without any more external influence. The third elder and his son are some real tough guys. They went on a killing spree without any discrimination. They killed everyone that opposed them, but they also sustained severe wounds while they are doing so.
Sam just wanted to put some small fire in the middle of these elves so that he could use that as a breaking point, so he chose the third young master who is insecure about himself. But it seems like he has a lot more problems than mere insecurity.
In fact, this is nowhere near as simple as being insecure, he seemed to have a past with the elven branch which he resented as much as he tried to come to peace with it, it seems like the resentment only grew. Sam felt more and more curious as the fight went on.
By now the news about the fight already reached the other families in the city and the main members of those families already arrived.
Sam took a look at the situation and took out the wrist screen to select the Elven branch in the list.
This is the perfect time to do so. As soon as a player choose someone from the list, the god will get the news and he will pass the information to his followers through the statue connection.
This rule is obviously beneficial to the player as they have a choice to attack first and then select the organization on a final step.
Now this is even more advantageous because the god cannot possibly send the message at the moment, no matter what he does as the elven branch is busy and no one can receive the message in the middle of chaos.
"Are you ready?"
Sam turned to Paras and asked.
The latter nodded and all of them made a move.
The third elder and the third young master are fighting tooth and nail with the three people. The family head and the two grand elders, the first elder is already dead and just like the third young master mentioned, he died a brutal death.
Now both of them are having a hard time, particularly the third young master as he couldn't do much to help his father in this fight and he is fighting the elders.
Sam's team directly entered the gates and joined the fight. Saber Monarch and Five Elemental King joined in helping the third elder and the remaining team members all went to fight alongside the third young master.
The situation turned tides.
The third young master and the third elder didn't know what exactly is happening at the moment, but they sure as hell knew that they are being helped and they took it.
The fight that everyone presumed to take a long time changed courses and finished faster.
Paras is an absolute beast with his axe as he teamed up with the Third elder to attack the already injured Branch head, who is actually a middle stage Transcendent cultivator of Astral Plane.
The Branch head lost soon and even the third elder got exhausted. The lower level elves realized that the branch is going to collapse and left the place to escape in their own way. Some decided to go to another elf branch, some decided to escape and live their own lives.
The other families who are trying to get a piece of the elven branch suddenly stopped as they were afraid of the new characters that suddenly popped up.
Saber Monarch who is fighting with an Early stage Transcendent is actually the one in dominating position and he kept on muttering something.
"Just a little. Almost there."
He kept on muttering these words, because he is on verge of breakthrough. He is so close to reaching Transcendent stage that he couldn't help but feel frustrated.
All he is lacking is some comprehension of saber art and he would breakthrough. That kind of display made the rest of the organizations back down and instead they went after the businesses outside.
Meanwhile, Sam walked into the family estate deeper along with Sia. They soon reached the temple where the statue is glowing.
Sam poured some blood over the feet of the statue and the statue's eyes got the glow.
When Hou Yi saw Sam standing in front of him, he almost choked.
"Nice to meet you again. Hou Yi. How is your ego doing? Is it still there, alive and kicking?"
"What did you say?"
"You heard me you piece of shit. I am asking since your ego is so big, you should be storing it somewhere else, you can't carry it everywhere. So, I wanted to know its well being."
"You are talking to a god."
"I am talking to a god, whose asshole I tore apart when we fought as equals, you are expecting more respect from me? That is plain foolishness.
Anyway, you are too late. The elven branch is finished. The head is on verge of death, the heirloom will be mine. So, go fuck yourself."
"The day I see you, is that day I will kill you."
"I am pretty sure you wouldn't be able to do it. You are shit scared of gambler. Now as I said before, go fuck yourself and if you see the moon goddess, tell her I said hello to her."
Before the statue could react, Sam threw a kick and destroyed it.
He came out to meet with Paras who is currently interrogating the head of the branch.
"Sixty years ago. A bunch of higher powers sent people to lower stray planets using a special means for some training or whatever you fuckers call it.
Out of all of them, some people came to Planet Jaman from various races. The incident on Planet Jaman tell me the names of whoever that is involved."
As soon as the question was asked horror could be seen in the eyes of the branch head.
"That is impossible. You cannot be alive."
Paras swung his axe and chopped of a finger and asked once again.
"I want names." No matter what Paras did, the other party is not willing to say anything. He is biting his tongue to endure the pain.
Sam walked towards Paras and tapped on his shoulder before saying.
"I have a better option. Just slit his throat and kill him."
The Elven Branch head gasped in shock but as Paras hesitated.
"Trust me."
Paras swung his axe and even if it looked like a powerful strike, it just sliced the throat of the branch head.
As he fell down and died slowly.
Sam let Specter out and gestured Tamas to come over and let both of them carryout the soul necromancy.
They imprinted the memories in both Sam's and then Paras' brain.
All the memories went through Sam's mind and he was shocked as the scenes went to the sixty years ago, the time Paras mentioned and he looked through, he could understand why Paras is so angry and how deep his vengeance must have gotten.
The suffering of Jaman Planet is not something that even Sam could fathom or imagine and the people involved are far too many and they might reach far higher powers. In fact, this conflict between Paras and the unknown entity who was instigator of that situation, might even lead him to the realm of gods if he truly want why it happened.
There are that many races and that many people involved.
Sam sighed and said.
"All this while, I just thought that I will just be of assistance to you in your revenge as long as you worked for me. But now I realized, I could do more than assistance for you. You wouldn't be able to reach that far with your cultivation, because the people you are involved with are actually a lot powerful and a lot more resourceful than you can imagine.
Until now, you managed to gain information from the people you destroyed because they don't know much. Except for the names of the people involved. But from now on, you entered the layer of people who knew something that happened.
They wouldn't open the mouth even if you tortured them for a century."
"Do you know the person that gave the orders to this guy? You saw the memories to, since you are speaking like this, you must know."
Sam hesitated for a minute and said.
"Your rivalry is not with a person. That is the only thing I can tell you right now. Because I personally don't have any privacy, there are people watching me from far away. And once I reveal something, that would be the end of your journey.
So, be patient and join me."
