Chapter 492: Contribution

He hadnt yet tested the Gauss Rifle or other electrical gadgets, but from his previous experiments, he was pretty sure they wouldnt work. Even if they did, they likely wouldnt work very well. There was just something about the way electricity worked that was different in this world. Even if the weapons continued to function they likely wouldnt last long before the batteries were completely dead. On the other hand, they were the Thundercloud Sect, and they had many more experts of a lightning nature than other groups did. He wouldnt be surprised if they found a way to recharge the batteries, but even so it was only a few rifles. They would at best have a few more elite assassin weapons. Just like if they figured out how to recreate the Shard Rifles, but in even smaller quantities.

Sage had to answer a few more questions to clarify some of the things hed experienced in that other world, especially the specifics about the poisonous environment. Once he demonstrated his new rank and mastery of the Law of Corruption, they no longer took his opinion for granted. They already knew how to get to that world, and now that he had properly explored it, they were better informed about the risks and benefits. If he had to guess, he was pretty sure they would be moving their focus onto other worlds and leaving that one with its deadly poisons alone. Theyd already lost a bunch of elite disciples from the first trip. Sage went even further and gave them a few of the giant cockroaches that came from the Hidden Domain to let them try and find out what made it possible for the bug to survive in that harsh world.

At that point, Sage felt his deal with the Thundercloud Sect to be complete. Previously, he might have tried to use this as an opportunity to establish deeper relations with them, but he no longer needed to. Manji was already near the very top of the power structure in the Thundercloud Sect which meant he already had a man on the inside. Of course, Manji wasnt his subordinate, but they were now close enough to be family so Sage had complete confidence in Manji being on his side in future matters. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

After a few more formalities, Sage handed over the entrance pass and took his leave. He returned to the Dian Clan, and at that point was reminded how this whole ordeal was their fault. Well, that and the awkward speech of Dian Huifang. She was just going to be out of contact for a few years or decades, yet when it came out of her mouth it sounded like she was eloping with a scoundrel that was kidnapping her. Sage had to go on a two year detour merely to appease these unreasonable people. Theyd even told him that they were going to kill him if it wasnt for his saving of Xuelong. It was times like these that reminded him how different this world was from Earth. Such unreasonable and needlessly violent attitudes werent even unusual or odd, they were even taken to be the norm. When someone goes against a more powerful entity, they were, more often than not, put to death. Nobody even blinked an eye when whole clans were wiped out, at most they would merely lecture their own clan members not to offend greater powers. Mass killings werent atrocities, they were merely teaching moments and examples of what not to do.

Just as Sage was admiring the efficiency of the workers, he suddenly heard a loud voice, You still have the gall to come back? Where the hell have you been!?

He turned around and saw a large group of Dragoons escorting a woman with a slim and delicate frame. Even though she had quite an ample chest, no one was brave enough to dare look at it. She always seemed to have a calm face, but there was a furious fire in her eyes. She was currently glaring at Sage and even though she was much smaller than him, he felt like he was looking up at a giant. So much for the pride of a Nascent Soul. Where did she learn to be so scary?

Wan Ling! I was just coming to look for you. I was wronged by the Thundercloud Sect! They nearly killed me for trying to recruit someone thats a family member of their Sect member and I had to spend two years saving my own skin.

He immediately tried to explain himself, but Wan Ling saw right through him, Hmph, you think half-truths will work on me? You better not have come back empty handed. Airships may be much cheaper than Flying Ships, but theres still a limit on how many can afford them. Come on, we have a lot of business to discuss!
