Chapter 647: Dawn Mountain
Dawn Mountain County. Sage killed the Prefect in charge with just a few minutes of effort. That Prefect, along with Zi Mei, had been the main culprits responsible for turning Black Saber and the others against him. Kings killers had to be put down. There was still one thing bothering him, and for that he walked over towards the table where the secretary was hiding.
Come out and answer my questions.
The secretary slowly crawled back out and then kneeled in front of him, Please dont hurt me, Lord Lang. I am only a secretary, Prefect Lai made all the decisions, I had nothing to do with it!
Nothing at all?
The Jade Tablets the man was carrying had all fallen to the ground in the scuffle and they now flew over to Sages hand. The Blacksilver Pawns came over and surrounded the secretary while Sage checked the tablets. He sent his consciousness into them and quickly skimmed their contents before smiling at the secretary.
Care to change your tune?
I I am just an advisor for the Lai Clan. I collect all the information and organize it for Clan Leader Lai Liang. I swear I didnt make any decisions!
Of course not, you just advise him on which ones to make. How convenient for avoiding all responsibility, right? Alright, enough crap. Who else in the Lai Clan was involved in making the decision to topple me?
There was a third Prefect that deserved death and Sage rushed over towards Daybreak Valley County. He took a similar tactic, bribing his way in to see the Prefect. It was so much easier to get a meeting with a Prefect than it was a Clan or Sect Leader. As the ruler of a county, they were public officials which meant they were used to conducting meetings to handle the business of their territory. Clan and Sect Leaders got so prideful that they would only ever meet the high rankers of their own organizations, their own descendants, or others at a similar level to themselves. Without showing off his strength and stating his name, Sage wouldnt be able to get an audience, so he had to fight his way in. These Prefects didnt know what was happening until it was too late.
Without even bothering to introduce himself this time, when the man he bribed introduced him to the Prefect, Sage rushed forward and ended a life. This prefect of Daybreak Valley County was even worse than the last in his opinion. Sage was a suspected Seal Master, and that fellow wanted to use that as justification to take him down. That would weaken Jade Spirit County and give him an opening to try and insert his people. The Lai Clan were hoping to slowly work their way up from ruling one county to two.
Meanwhile, this Daybreak Valley Prefect had attempted to assassinate Juzui. Sage had just taken over Lionheart Town and he expected since he was new others would think he was weak. He expected others to probe him with threats or bribes to bring them over to their side, but this guy had wanted to send a message by murdering his subordinates. Such a cruel and uncaring person was not someone Sage cared to give any leeway to. He didnt waste any time, killing the man and then turning to leave. Predictably, some of the guards tried to stop him, but he killed them too and left without saying anything further.
Such a bad man would likely have equally bad employees, but he didnt feel like looking into it. He wasnt here to cleanse the world of evil, but to clear his own heart. With the trio of Prefects taken care of, he moved on to his next goal. Soon he found himself standing in front of somewhere very familiar.
Lionheart Town.
He had on his large face obscuring bamboo hat, though it wasnt raining today so he got a few odd looks from people he passed. He didnt mind too much, simply making his way to the local member of the Artful Life Alliance that had annoyed him in the past. Theyd loaned money to a previous City Lord and so when he took the job they made sure to bother him to remind him of the debt. That wasnt a big deal, but he found out they were related to Hei Bai. She ran a group that captured people from nearby towns and sold them into slavery. Despicable. And this Artful Life Alliance was involved? As far as he was concerned he was already showing them leniency by letting most of them live.
A huge conflagration marked his return to the town. The Artful Life Alliances properties were burned to the ground and a few dozen heads hit the ground that afternoon. Sage didnt bother waiting for night to fall before he started to take revenge. The new City Lord suffered a similar fate, but it wasnt because he took Sages job. Sage really could care less about the position, he was just going overboard in the past, trying to revive the Lang Clan with a brilliant spectacle. How was he to know that his own downfall would be the greatest spectacle?
No, the reason he hacked off the head of the new City Lord of Lionheart Town was because the man was given his job by the four groups that tried to kill Sage. Theyd chosen a representative to take over and send profits to them in the future. With the man dead, Sage left some writing on the wall using the mans blood: My enemy's dog is not allowed to rule my home.
