Chapter 513: Poisoned

I did. Those Juniors were being disrespectful. You dont need to thank me for disciplining them on your behalf. My poison is quite fierce, you can consider it a gift.

The Wu Elder clenched his teeth, but managed to retain his dire calmness. He rubbed his thumb against his fingertips, How generous you are. What is the cost of the antidote?

Theres no need to be a stranger, Elder Wu. How could I charge my Clan for an antidote? then Sage let out a pained sigh, Its just too bad there isnt one for my Greenrose Venom.

Being toyed with like this, the Wu Elders stony composure cracked and a frown showed on his lips. Then he took a few long and deep breaths before finally responding, Is this how a Senior should treat his Juniors? Or should this be treated as a Branch Head rebelling against the Main Family?

Sage laughed and glared at the Elder, Are you going to continue to pretend that you know nothing about the team of Assassins you sent against me? We can also continue to play with words as long as you like, or perhaps that isnt enough? Should we start delivering threats? There are only a handful of Core Formation Cultivators on my side, while the Wu has hundreds if not thousands, does it not? I wonder who is more vulnerable.

The Elder finally realized why Sage was being so belligerent and also the folly of his clansmen for coming to pressure him. Hed completely forgotten such a thing had happened, but only now remembered that the man responsible for the attack and the threatening were related. Realization dawned, and his frown deepened.

The fault lies with the Wu. We will deliver unto you proper satisfaction for this matter. There is indeed an internal dispute that needs to be settled, then he paused for a moment, The poison

Of course. Lady Xiezi says you have stirred up quite a storm. The Wu have always been Jinxis knife in the dark. The Crickets maintain their golden reputation while the Centipede does their dirty work. Along with those ass kissing lizards, the Xiyi, that means Jinxi has two factions on their side while only the Toads urge for peace and support our Xie against their suppression.

This was a little more insight than Xiezi had for him earlier, but he hadnt yet heard how he was involved. The attendant realized his folly and quickly continued, With two factions against three, theyve pulled the branch factions in. If the Jinxi could show an overwhelming advantage then the Wa would likely step back and the Xie would be at their mercy. On the other hand, if the Xie can pull over enough branch families

The matter of you poisoning the Wu clansmen spread quickly and somehow, the man gave Sage a wink as he spoke, the matter of the Wu trying to assassinate you in the past became known as well. Attempting to wipe out the remnant of their own branch family is no small matter. A scandal has erupted because it seems the same man that sent the men to threaten you also sent the men to assassinate you in the past.

Sage had just been peacefully training techniques in this inn for the last week, and had no idea there was so much activity back in the Chong Clan. He pondered a moment and then smiled, I thought it was strange. The Jinxi were being so subtle in their manipulations and working so hard on pulling me over into their camp. I always thought it was weird they never even attempted to explain or apologize for what happened. Turns out they didnt know. Haha, they are so proud of their skillful manipulative ability, so overlooking something like that must have really pissed them off.

At the very least, Sage was happy to not be involved in all that political maneuvering and back door dealing. Insulting the Wu Elder and then running away was far more rewarding than he thought it could be.

Unfortunately, this scandal has also pushed things to the next level. The factions and branches have started formally declaring their support for Jinxi and Xie. As always, the Frogs support the Toads. The Ants are backing Scorpion, and the Stingers have sided with Cricket. As of now, three factions and one branch are opposing two factions and two branches. Everyone has already assumed that Mantis will support Scorpion and Jinxi is now scrambling to pull Beetle over to their side.

Sage was put for a loop from all this talk, this was all getting far too complicated. Did he really have to participate in this mess? Of these thousands of people, he barely knew a handful of names and was only friends with one of them, how far was this all going to go?
