Chapter 340: Tracking
With the auction over, Sage collected his winnings. He emptied out a few Storage Chests full of Spirit Stones, transferring their contents to the Universe Ring. Then he did the same with the nearly 4 ton mound of Chrono Copper. This infusion of wealth was much needed. Sage had barely more than 10,000 Spirit Stones left before the auction started. Hed spent most of his fortune on getting the Jade Horde established, but the work they did was now able to sustain the organization. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
Before leaving, Sage passed over a list that hed made while he was in Golden Cricket Cove. The auction clerk took the list and Sage pointed to one of the Storage Chests that was still filled with Spirit Stones, Use that. How long will it take to fulfill the order?
The clerk had to excuse himself and a few minutes later he returned. Sage was told it would take a few hours. He pondered and then decided to take a seat, Ill wait.
The few hours passed uneventfully, Sage had them bring him some lunch and studied a Memory Sphere until his order was fulfilled. They wheeled in a few more Storage Chests and Sage gave them a quick check before emptying them into the Universe Ring and then taking the Spirit Stones that werent expended in the purchase. With his business done, Sage walked out of Thousand Treasures and paused for a moment. Dou Deng ran to fetch his coach and while pretending to wait, Sage activated the Timeless Eyes and pushed backwards to when the auction had just ended. Using Hindsight he caught sight of when the Shou Clan members were exiting Thousand Treasures.
The coach arrived and as Sage stepped up inside he tossed a cat sized Chameleon Mantis onto the roof of the coach. Its carapace immediately shifted colors and hid itself, giving Sage a method to keep watch. Sage gave direction to Dou Cheng, guiding him to follow behind where the Shou Clan had gone to. By giving them a two hour lead time, it would remove any suspicion that he was following the Shou Clan.
Oh good, they didnt bother to stay at an inn.
The Shou Clan members took their own little convoy of coaches and directly left Golden Cricket Cove. Sage was pleased at not having had to wait around for them to leave town. Following them was just a hunch after all, he was curious to see whether or not the Shou Clan had any relation with Hei Bai, or if they were just interested in the treasure map. He hadnt auctioned the map to see if anyone was related to Hei Bai, but when he saw that it was members of the Artful Life Alliance that purchased it, he got a little suspicious. Since it was just a whim, he didnt want to devote too much time to it. It also helped that they were likely to head towards Lionheart Town, as the Shou Clan home was in Jade Spirit County.
Then a second voice, a bit deeper than the first, chimed in, She hid herself well. Shou Chang must have trusted her or let slip that he was transporting the map. Theres no way that sorry excuse for a Necromancer would have known about it otherwise. She was not skilled enough to plant a mole in our upper echelon.
You say that, but what if she was? When we return to the Clan we should carefully check everyone again to make sure there arent any spies. We cant lose the map again.
Good idea. Ill personally lead the investigation.
Bitten by our own dog. Make sure not to let this news spread, if it gets out wed be a laughingstock.
Sage listened in for a bit longer, but there wasnt much else of worth. Even so, hed found quite a useful tidbit of information. The Shou Clan wasnt just related to Hei Bai, they were the mysterious organization she was working for. It seems she ambushed one of them and stole the treasure map from them. They didnt speak about what exactly the map led to, so Sage wasnt sure about the specifics of why Hei Bai didnt use it, but hed heard enough. He was about to leave when he overheard another piece of information. The Shou Clan planned to send some men to investigate Hei Bais other properties when they were finished with the internal search.
Oh, right. I have all her paperwork.
Sage ordered the Chameleon Mantis to leave and after getting some distance from the cliff manor he called out King and had him fly at his top speed towards the nearest of Hei Bais properties. He also threw out a Red Crane Message, sending it back to Black Saber with directions to Hei Bais other properties.
