Chapter 1000: Contract

Given that this was Guan Zhenyan, Sage didnt just read the contract, he had whole teams of people reading and breaking it down on the Inner World. They scoured through the document multiple times from multiple angles. Revision after revision was made and then the altered contract was finally revealed to Guan Zhenyan, Ive taken the liberties of making a few changes.

The projections eyes narrowed, and the new contract was read by and then revised by him in just a few minutes. This was checked again by Sages people and returned again. After they went back and forth three times then Sage finally signed the Blood Contract. As soon as he did, Guan Zhenyan handed him a Jade Tablet which he sent directly to the Inner World, so it could be properly studied by the teams there and memorized by his clone.

With this information gathered, Sage didnt just head right for those debtors that had the items Guan Zhenyan was actually after. Instead he had a much more elaborate plan in store and he put it into action by going off the radar. He changed his appearance and switched vehicles, riding a Demonic Beast mount like many others did in the Tianxia Capital. He ascended thousands of floors, skipping past so many debtors, even important ones, which Guan Zhenyan was remarkably quiet about.

Sage climbed to the highest level of the capital that had a debtor and he quickly stormed in, releasing the Purple Mist Sect members at the last moment and forcing his way through a defensive array. The array had been analyzed and all the weak points were attacked by the Purple Mist Sect members with perfect timing. Then the whole group rushed in and subdued the debtor. The middle aged man was clueless as to what was going on. After having breakfast with his family he was grabbed when walking down the hall, surrounded and overwhelmed before he could react. The man held back, not wanting to start a fight that might endanger his family. Sage took this into account and had the whole group rush in close and grab the man with brute force. With none of them using any wide area attacks, then it would make their target hesitate.

There was also another more insidious reason.

After the twentieth debtor was captured and robbed, Sage moved quickly to descend a hundred levels in less than a day and finally confronted one of the Debtors who owned a valuable material. Unlike the other attacks, Sage went alone and he wasnt just dressed up as another random person, instead he wore a dark robe with a heavy hood. He attacked with the cliche look of a villain and didnt use any Purple Mist Sect members at all. Instead, he used a technique that no one had ever associated with him.

The Advancing Infernal Manual, a technique that even the most normal person would call Evil, let alone those who were familiar with it and its effects. A horrible amalgamation of a tree and the flayed head of a wolf, sprouted from the ground. It rose up into the air and in place of limbs it merely grew more heads. A forest sized bouquet of skinless wolf heads, barking and snapping, curving through the air to reach for this unlucky old man.

Each of Sages techniques became gruesome and disgusting when used with Infernal Qi, transforming them into something that came out of a bad horror film, dripping viscous blood and smelling like rotting flesh. Sage fought as he had in the past, encircling a large area with Sacred Banyans and poisons, then slowly tightening the noose with more and more plants. Only this time, it was like the old man had been tossed into some sort of fleshy hell. This was far from the first time Sage had used these techniques and had altered the shapes and styles of attack to match the gruesome horrorscape he could now create. He covered the ground with many roots and vines which made it look like the ground had been replaced by the leathery skin of some sort of beast. Instead of many large trees interlocking their branches and vines to create fences and lattice-like cages to trap his enemies, Sage used a few really large Banyans and focused on moving them around which created these monstrous snapping heads.

While the old man was trying to avoid the huge beasts that were snapping at him, he couldnt focus on the fact he was walking around on the relatively harmless seeming leathery ground. He was too distracted to realize that the Infernal Qi was slowly corrupting him. Sages Law of Corruption was all around him, making it hard to know where it was coming from. It was empowering everything and the Infernal Qi was twisting the old mans mind, eroding his self control. Making him fight more and more ferociously, until he was just as vicious and bloodthirsty as the huge beasts he was battling with.
