Chapter 514: Politics

After being fed all this information, Sage turned his gaze upon the man who brought it, Thats quite a lot youve brought to me. I suppose I should trust you because youre wearing red and your information is quite detailed, but what proof do I have that Xiezi actually sent you?

The man in front of him visibly paled and then quickly brought out a jade slip and held it out, She said this should prove my identity!This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Sage motioned to Tujiu, Watch him, before he carefully inserted his senses into the jade slip to see what it contained. He acted very cautiously, wary of any traps it might contain, but thankfully it had only a few lines of text. For anyone else it might seem like nonsense, but for Sage it made sense: Your beetle saved me, yet I couldnt protect you from the bats. Im still sorry about that to this day.

The only other person who would know of those events was that Fu Clan member who tried to kill Xiezi, and for them to be so well informed of the Chongs internal matters would be pretty scary so he could only assume that this man was not an imposter. Even so, Sage still looked at him a little more closely, You were given quite an important job. Who are you in the Chong Clan?

My name is Xiefeng. Lady Xiezi is technically my aunt a few times removed, then he saw the look in Sages eyes, Yes, we are about the same age. Her parents waited much longer to have children.

The second man might be slightly crippled for the rest of his life, but it was still better than the certain death that his family was going to leave him to if Sage hadnt acted. There was also the off chance that he could work hard and earn enough to afford the high level healing pill required to restore himself. In this world, severed limbs could be regrown with a powerful enough pill, and even whole bodies could be rebuilt from nothing, but such miracles had an equally extravagant cost in natural treasures, let alone the price that had to be paid to the Master Alchemist needed to refine the pill.

Once the poison was removed from their bodies, Sage could only give them some healing pills and have them sent back to the Clan. If he had suffered such damage himself he could regenerate it, but that was because he had the true version of the Insect Immortal Index. After spending so much time with the Chong Clan, Sage realized that they didnt have the true version of the technique. In fact, from what rumors he could gather, only a few of the factions had improved versions of the techniques. In the past, he learned that the Lang Clan had an improved version of the Hive Body technique, which allowed them to store their insects inside the immaterial space of their Dantians. The normal version of the technique kept them within the physical body, and was only used on very small species. That was why the Xiyi had lizards on their shoulders, and Xiezis scorpion was always in her robes. From what he saw, most of the Chong Clan were carrying around small creatures inside their clothing.

Hed heard rumors that the Wu were the most adept at Mutate, and that was why they had dozens of different types of centipedes that they used. That led Sage to suspect that they had an improved version of Mutate that was closer to the true version. Even so, the improved Hive Body that the Lang Clan used was still not equal to the true version, which led Sage to suspect there truly was something going on with the Ancestor hed met under the Lang Clan. The true version of the technique is more powerful than what the Chong Clan has, but isnt the Lang supposed to be just a branch of the Chong Clan?

There was definitely a story behind all of this, and Sage would have to ask the Ancestor about this at some point, but he had been forbidden from returning to the tomb until after he re-established the clan.

After not receiving any more visitors for a few more days, Sage was about to leave. As if reading his mind, Xiezi was waiting outside his inn along with a dozen guards wearing the Xie Faction uniform. The gloating smile on her face made him suspect that she was spying on him somehow, so she could jump out just when he was ready to leave. I wonder how long she would have waited for me to leave?

Putting aside the thought, he could only greet her cordially, Lady Xiezi, is it? It seems that Ive joined your side accidentally. Are you here to put me to work? Please try not to take too much advantage of me.
