Chapter 271: Orange Sky City
Whitestaff was not excited to learn shed rushed for a few hours straight for no reason, What kind of bull
Many deleted expletives later, Sage explained the situation and she glared at him. He knew the look, Its definitely my fault. I didnt properly investigate their strength and nearly led us to our deaths. It wont be happening again. In the future, the Seven Stars will be in charge of picking their own missions.
Whitestaff stared at him a bit longer. Somehow when she stared like that, it felt like she could tell whether or not you were telling the truth. Then she nodded, Good. You seem to have a tendency for biting off more than you can chew. Other than Red Ice, Im pretty sure the rest of us are better at knowing our limits than you are.
Sage felt his prestige as the leader of the Jade Horde was a bit tainted, but given his track record so far it seemed reasonable. He hadnt led them on any missions since choosing the first Seven Stars and since he appointed them things had run pretty smoothly. Thinking back, it was most likely due to the advice in How to be a Little Birdy. It taught him the tricks and secrets to choosing good subordinates. What it didnt do was teach him how to be a good leader himself, nor did it tell him how to act on all the information he learned.
He thought about selling the information he had, but he didnt feel like wasting time with more information brokers. There was also the idea of going to inform the City Lord, but since he wasnt a local he had no idea where the City Lord stood in regards to the Yi Yang Group, nor did he know if the Lord was willing to take them on. Even if the City Lord was proactive and got the jump on others to take them down, the Jade Horde might get absolutely nothing in return.
As they say, birds die for food and people die for wealth.
Sage sat in front of two mysterious items. Hed received both from the auction back in Daggerguard City. At the time hed been forced to go on the run and change his identity. Hed only been focused on building an organization at that point. True, he was distracted breeding insects and performing another metamorphosis, but he spent most of his time training subordinates.
The item on the left looked like a misshapen lump of clay. Sort of like somebody had molded the clay into a rock shape and them smashed it with a hammer. He had spent a few hours banging on it with different objects and tools, to no avail. He could still feel a sort of resonance with it, but hadnt attempted anything drastic yet. For some reason, he had the feeling that whatever happened would be big, and he was still a bit on edge from the recent trip to the Yi Yang Group.
The object on the right was his current focus. It was the stone tablet that had caused his Human Seal to start fading away and had sent him on the run from the Holy Flame Sect. He knew that as soon as he started looking at it, he was going to lose his Human Seal again so he made sure to go into seclusion and left the Jade Horde to handle things on their own. Now, he was sitting here getting ready to face the tablet, completely unsure of what was going to happen to him.
He placed a hand atop the stone tablet and very gently sent a tiny trickle of his Qi into it. He waited patiently and nothing happened. Still cautious he repeated the exercise, adding a little more Qi with each attempt. It only took a few attempts before the amount of Qi was large enough to cause a reaction. The tablet suddenly came to life once again, emitting bright golden light. Glowing shapes and symbols appeared out of nowhere, not matching the carvings on the tablet and just rising into the air. Sages Human Seal reacted in kind and started to glow with similar brightness, but a shade of red in contrast to the tablets gold. The glow started out steady, but then started to dim and brighten. The light began to pulse with a rhythm, something Sage hadnt known Seals could do.
Just as before a mirage of his true form appeared behind him. After a few moments it also started to pulse, turning more and less transparent in time with the bright glowing of the seals hovering over the tablet. Eventually the pulsing got faster and faster until it was a quick strobing. Just when Sage started to ponder whether or not cultivators could suffer from epilepsy, the pulsing stopped. The symbols were no longer floating around and blinking. Theyd moved into a large vertical display over the stone tablet, floating in mid-air. The Human Seal had disappeared and Sage was in his true form, the one that had grown quite similar to an Eastern Dragon. He was distinctly missing whiskers and antlers, but if the plates on his spine were smaller and his body larger, he could almost pass for a certain wish granting dragons cousin.
I wonder how hard it is to make crystal balls with stars inside them?
