Chapter 267: Purple Cloud City

A few minutes later, a different waiter entered the room and held out an oathstone, I pledge not to allow this information to be sold within Orange Sky and Purple Cloud City.

Good. I need the name and location of every property that the Yi Yang Group owns in Orange Sky and Purple Cloud City. The Yi Yang Group is finished in Flying Wind province, whether you take the properties yourself or sell the information to others thats up to you. It should be starting to spread from Ten Copper City as we speak.

The waiter nodded and left the room, sending out messengers even as he retrieved the information on the Yi Yang Groups properties himself. He brought the scrolls into the room with Sage. Sage gave them a quick once over before committing the information to a Memory Sphere. He wanted to stick around and swap more information with this group, but they were racing time. Sage returned to the rest of his group and they took off for Purple Cloud City. It was not the closest city to Orange Sky, but it was one of the largest and when they passed through on the way to Ten Copper City, Sage was gathering information. He remembered hearing about a large property owned by the Yi Yang Group in that town and now that they were falling he felt it was fated for him to target it.

Sage had only brought a limited number of troops with him to Purple Cloud City. Since the news of the Yi Yang Groups treachery and downfall had not spread this far out yet, in order to take these properties he would be needing to directly assault them. The Lord of the Purple Cloud City would, more likely than not, react negatively to an outsider stealing property. The city belonged to the City Lord. It would be their prerogative on whether or not properties were allowed to change hands. Especially when the ones losing the property were not willing. Instead, the idea would be to make such properties quickly change hands without anyone noticing. In a few days, when the news spread, it wouldnt be too late to return the properties back to the City Lord, minus all the accumulated resources and wealth, of course.

Black Saber oversaw things outside while King and Sage stepped into the building. Sage put up a large Windscreen outside the Pharmacy and it was draining his energy rapidly. He had already studied their defensive formations before they made their move so as soon as he stepped inside he only waited for King to move into position before he acted. He changed the front sign to closed and then tossed out a half dozen Formation Plates to a few specific places in the building. The two clerks on duty were confused and then at almost the exact same time realized there was a problem and cried out for help. King delivered a very precise blow to their temples and knocked them both out.

Sage ran over and quickly tied them up with Steelsilk, following behind King as the Hawk took on the rest of the occupants of the Pharmacy. Most of them were weak clerks, but two of them were much stronger. One was the head of the shop, and roughly the same strength as Sage, the peak of the fourth rank, but not yet broken through to the fifth. King caught him off guard and knocked him out with only a few strikes. Unfortunately, that man was meeting with a much stronger gentleman who was a match for King. The man didnt know what was going on, and he exchanged a few blows with King before the head of the shop was knocked out. Once he was alone, the man attempted to escape.

Too bad for him, King wasnt alone either. The Twin Soul attacked while the man was leaping through the air, diving into a spiritual sea and battling with the mans soul. Even with that distraction, he passed through another room and dodged at attack from King by diving through a window. Black Saber was waiting for him outside and the man suffered a heavy wound, getting a deep slash against his chest. Black Saber and King cornered him in an alleyway and brought him back inside. Sage finished clearing the place out, the half dozen employees quickly gathered into a small courtyard, each of them gagged and tied up. Black Saber stepped out and made a hand gesture at some of the Hoplites and the many distractions came to an end. Each group send a few people to the other groups and the conflicts eventually came to an end with the people involved dispersing.

One group of Hoplites loitered outside the now closed Pharmacy, while another went inside to gather resources. The rest of them moved on to the next target. While Sage was transferring everything in the Pharmacy into the Universe Ring, the Hoplites were setting a perimeter around the Yi Yang Groups local headquarters. With the two stronger men unconscious, they left the whole lot of them tied up inside the Pharmacy and left with the place stripped bare. They had no plans to retain control over the location, they were more interested in stealing from people that the public would soon be berating as criminals. Would anyone seek justice for a group of heinous criminals?
