Chapter 641: Windfall

Sage continued to terrorize the Artful Life Alliance, getting his revenge upon them for the attempt upon his life. At first, he felt somewhat uneasy with his actions. The fires and destruction he caused lead to many accidental deaths he wasnt intending on causing. His real targets were only the leaders of these clans, along with those warriors who had directly joined the fight against him. Along the way, many loyal guards and defenders were killed, which he felt sad about. These fellows were only doing their jobs, but they were turned into collateral damage. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

In the heat of the battle, he acted without thinking, killing those who got in his way and following through on the plan he laid out in advance. The only way to prevent himself from constantly being chased and hounded was to make his enemies fear his reprisal. In this world, only the strong were respected, and that was because they were feared. Some might admire someone for their morals, but if they werent also powerful, then it was only a matter of time until someone without morals took them down. Only with overwhelming power could schemes and plots be ignored.

Sage had improved rapidly, but he still didnt think his power was indomitable. Far from it in fact. Individually, he might be a match for the best members of First Rate Powers, but what about those from higher levels? He had no idea how strong the leaders of the Dou Kingdom were, and he also knew there was at least one more power at an even greater level. He had escaped from their territory where Guan Zhenyan was keeping him. Thankfully, he had been too minor for them to notice, but what if they started to pay attention to him?

With these thoughts in mind, he couldnt afford to let himself be bullied by the other weaker powers and he started his campaign of retribution. He had the urge to show off his advancements to intimidate them with pure power, but that would also mean hed have to publicly show off his abilities. If he did that, his enemies would be able to plan around his strengths. Instead of scaring them by revealing his capabilities he chose to do the opposite. To show them how vicious he could be while in the dark.

Competing in viciousness while also having misgivings about killing innocents was quite the paradox. These lines of thought led to his current actions, directly targeting the leaders of these smaller Sects and Clans. He killed them in a brutal fashion, leaving them as an example while burning the rest of their territories to the ground. Those loyal guards and troops along with the other members of the clan who couldnt flee in time had to be considered as collateral damage. It was unfortunate, but he had to let his enemies know what would happen to them if they came after him.

There was a silver lining to all this killing. The amount of wealth he suddenly came into was astounding. For these Clans and Sects, the majority of their wealth was carried by their leaders. With the prevalence of Storage Treasures, the leaders of the groups always carried their most valuable possessions with them. After destroying a dozen different groups, he only found the official treasuries of two of them, while the rest refused to share such knowledge, choosing to die first. Their tenacity was commendable, choosing to die in order to give a greater chance to their future successors. For the two groups that did give up their treasuries, Sage figured he wasnt missing much and stopped wasting his time trying to extract such information.

One of them was a serious looking woman with her hair pulled back in a bun and the characters Yin and Cha marked onto a badge on her chest. To one side of her was a man with a piercing gaze and a sword hanging from his right hip. On the other was an older gentleman with a bit of grey at his temples as well as a Yin and Cha on his chest. Surprisingly, the woman was half a step back from where the other two men were standing at either side of her.

Across from them in this large meeting room were a gathering of a half-dozen people, though only two of them were standing at the front. One of them was an older gentleman, quite similar to the Yincha man, while beside him stood an old man with a stooped back.

The Sect defending array is active and the elite guards are still on duty. Weve brought everyone else along with us.

The older man with the Yincha badge spoke, while the swordsman to his side waited till he was finished to nod and then salute the old man with the stooped back. The old man said nothing, but the gentleman beside him smiled, Good. With the five of us here waiting for him, that damned brat will get what he deserves. So what if he kills the weaklings in our alliance, does he think were a bunch of pushovers?

The five of them all radiated a heavy aura of law energy, and they all had various levels of sneering on their faces. Gathering together here to consolidate the real power of the Artful Life Alliance and set a trap for their enemy.

Then the door to the chamber burst open and a flustered looking man ran in, Clan Leader! The Violet Light Sect has been destroyed!
