Chapter 329: Terrifying Reward
Sage broke the tension and did not deactivate the protective formation plate hed thrown down. It was one of the few he had that was actually a rank 5 Formation Plate. High rank Formation Plates were quite expensive to create and so he didnt use them often. He preferred to layer many cheaper and weaker Formation Plates, but in this situation he had panicked a little bit and used his most powerful Formation Plate. It usually took him less than a minute to swap around the plates on the Formation Machine to suit his situation. He even stored them in a dozen different common configurations inside the Universe Ring to make the switch faster. Unfortunately, the Formation Machine had sustained a little bit of damage during the last operation, and even if it hadnt, that energy from the necklace was too fast and deadly. He hadnt expected anything like that and used his most powerful defense out of fear. Now that it was over, he stopped to analyze what happened.
Was it a curse? A poison? What sort of terrible weapon was that thing?
He voiced his concerns to Black Saber and Wu Chang. They both just grunted.
Fear clogged their throats, I guess.

After that, the three of them went back to Wu Changs manor and drank a few jars of wine.
The next day, Black Saber and Wu Chang returned to their normal duties. Black Saber had the whole Jade Horde to run. Hed spent a few weeks there helping take down the slavers. Wu Chang was still the City Lord of Lionheart Town and Sage planned on building a new headquarters for the Jade Horde here. Horde Home was not being abandoned, but it was merely intended to be a production base and shouldnt be considered their headquarters. In fact, Sage had plans for a much larger manufacturing facility here in Lionheart Town. He had to rebuild the Lang Clan, and the best cover for that was to establish the Jade Horde here first. Black Saber didnt have to leave, but he had to coordinate with the rest of their forces spread across the Kingdom.
Wu Chang was also busy, having to attend to administrative tasks, and also to face the pushback of other organizations in the province. Theyd just made a huge strike upon six different places. Slavers werent illegal in the kingdom, but neither was war. This was a world where might, made right. The rules enforced by the kingdom were loose at best. They cared only about receiving their yearly resources from each of the provinces. The local powers that ran each province cared about getting resources from their local counties, and the county governors only cared about the resources from City Lords, and City Lords only worried about their subordinate villages. As long as that order wasnt messed up, a person would only have to answer to the local lord of the territory they were in.
Those slavers werent directly involved in that resource chain, so Wu Changs superior, the Prefect of Jade Spirit County, didnt care at all. On the other hand, the Prefects of two other counties, as well as three City Lords were upset. They were likely receiving benefits from the slaver groups and were now upset at the loss. The other cities werent too great of a threat, as with the help of the Jade Horde they were quite weaker than Lionheart Town. On the other hand, the two Prefects were trouble. Jade Spirit Countys Prefect wasnt harmed by their actions, but he also wasnt going to stand out to protect Wu Chang. While they didnt truly control the dozen City Lords that answered to them, a Prefect had to be strong enough to quell at least two or three of them at the same time.
A normal City Lord would be a Core Formation cultivator with the support of others, or a lone cultivator that was at the upper stages of the fifth rank. For example, one of the Prefects making a fuss: Lai Liang. The Lai Clan controls the county. Lai Liang is at around level 58, and four of his subordinate City Lords come from the Lai Clan. Theyre only level 51 to 53, but have the backing of the Lai Clan. Wu Chang is just about as powerful as Lai Liang individually, but without any backer he could only rise to the level of a City Lord. Now that hed joined the Jade Horde he could almost stand on equal terms with a County Prefect.
Unfortunately, there were two different Prefects sending threats to Wu Chang. If he didnt handle things correctly, they could join forces against him. At that point, the three City Lords would likely join in and Wu Chang would be finished for sure.
