Chapter 402: Finished
The snake as well as the five birds returned to their human forms, reactivating their Human Seals. They looked somewhat unusual as their clothing returned to exactly how it looked at the earlier part of the battle, yet their bodies had just as many wounds as they ended the battle with. Most of them looked a bit frazzled, but none of their injuries were critical, they were just like Wu Chang in that they couldnt be killed without their cores being destroyed. Once the soul had a core to be housed within, the body could be killed, but they wouldnt truly die. That said, once the body was dead only the core remained it would take a herculean effort to rebuild a body from scratch. Worse yet, without a body, the core was pretty helpless. If they werent, Cultivators would never be foolish enough to carry around the cores of Demonic Beasts and trade them like a form of currency.
Sage walked over to the five of them and double checked their condition before giving them a task, Can you please recover all the equipment and treasure from the prisoners? Ill send you back to your home when youre finished.
Boss, can we come back out when were done instead?
Sage nodded, Fine. Alright, hurry up. Then he sent the five of them into the Inner World to disarm and strip the possessions of the Jade Horde hed left on an island. Just a few minutes had passed, but on the Inner World theyd already been there for hours. At that moment a massive force descended from the sky and they all felt their strength greatly restricted. Suffice it to say, when the five Tiankong children showed up, they had a quite easy time taking the weapons, armor, and storage treasures from all the members of the Jade Horde. Then, they disappeared once more.
For Sage, because of the time difference, he sent the five in and then pulled them out again a couple minutes later. Then they traveled over to join Ruanfu, at which point she realized how much time had passed and finally gave Wu Chang an end. For that end, she borrowed an object from Sage, a wooden ring with a large character on its face. The Peachwood Ring, a Soul Locker. A storage treasure used for souls. Ruanfu had spent many years learning a special technique from the Timeless Masters Library that could pull the soul out of a core. Cores were used in the creation of many magical items, and there were various uses for cores with and without a soul. A violet light glimmered in her eyes as she brutally plucked out the core from Wu Changs abdomen and then drew out his soul with the light from her eyes. It was absorbed into the Peachwood Ring and Ruanfu tossed the ring back to Sage.
Sage had brought him out now to help Ruanfu calm down. Hed been worried about how intense shed become and Wanqian Lei was the only way hed found that could soothe her. It was out of this fear that Sage had refrained from sending Ruanfu out like the others to gather information on the rest of the Seven Stars. He only hoped that that smile shed shown was a sign of things to come. Now that shed finally got her revenge she should be able to relax. There were also other problems that could come along with a person finally getting their vengeance after many years, but theyd deal with those later.
The Hatchet Gang were quite accommodating, happy that Sage had chosen to meet with them first. Despite their name as a gang and reputation for vicious retaliation, Sage found them to be quite pleasant. In his eyes, they werent a deadly gang, they were the commoners going to extremes to protect themselves from oppression. Those in this world only knew the dog eat dog world of cultivators, but Sage knew better. He was definitely on the side of the underdog and not the entitled nobility that were cultivators. Sage didnt pay them back for Wu Chang, he was first going to audit the prior City Lord before committing to anything. Even if he had the funds to pay it off now, hed much rather make sure the debt was valid and even then he wasnt going to make the foolish choice to waste most of his resources again.
The Four Major Businesses of the Dou Kingdom merely congratulated him upon his new position. Their agreements were with the City Lords Manor that ruled the town, and not the person who sat in that seat. While the Dou Kingdom was very loose in their oversight, there were some established rules that were created to keep order. Any important position faced challengers and theyd long solved most of the issues that came from people killing each other to take their jobs. The simplest of which being the rulers of towns, cities, provinces, and so on were simply holding a sort of public position. All of their rights, privileges and responsibilities were hence connected to the position and not whoever held it. Theyd learned long ago it would be very destructive to just allow powerful people to kill a ruler, completely empty the city coffers, and then disappear. Now, the personal and public assets were divided. Certainly, there were large amounts of corruption, but for the most part it helped their territory stay stable. The Dou Royal family cared little for who was in charge, but only so long as they continued to receive their tributes.
Lastly, Sage visited the Artful Life Alliance. They were the most difficult with loans to the city, so Sage initially had a bad impression of them. Later, one of their members, the Shou Clan, was involved with Hei Bai, and he was pretty sure the groups of slavers were also related to the Artful Life Alliance. They were definitely on his list of possible enemies, but for now he wished to take over the city so he saved the conflict for later.
For the most part the meetings were quite simple. Sage and the others merely informed the groups in the city of the change in leadership and a date to arrive at the City Lords Manor for the official ceremony.
