Chapter 648: Return to Chong Clan

After removing the puppet City Lord, Sage went to the Lang Clan section of the city. There was still some killing to do. He was pleased to see that none of the original powers of Lionheart Town had dared to encroach upon the territory again, but the groups that had installed a city lord had also set up shop on his territory. He quickly wiped out these few dozen people from the Artful Life Alliance and the Violet Light Sect. Whitestaff didnt have many on her side, and the Fu Clan didnt seem to care about this place any longer. He collected all their belongings and then left Lionheart Town.

Oh, I see.

On the Inner World, Sage had some of his subordinates sorting and cataloguing all the loot he gathered. Just after leaving they found some clues. Some of the people in the Artful Life Alliance were actually spies for the Fu Clan. There were a few bits and pieces among their belongings to clue them in. It wasnt definite proof that Sage could use to smear them, but it was enough for him to believe.

None of that really mattered to him at the moment. If his enemies wanted to gather information on each other, what did he care? Sage traveled to that hidden cave in the woods where the Merciful Mollusks transportation formation was hidden and directly traveled to Golden Cricket Cove. Before heading to the Chong Clan, he stopped at a teahouse to gather information. From the rumors in play, there didnt seem to be any major news about the Chong Clan, so he knew that they hadnt erupted into open war at least. He didnt want to make any direct inquiries, because he guessed the Chong Clan had agents everywhere. This was their city after all.

Since there was no open war, he wasnt fearful of entering the Chong Clan. He didnt have any special means of contacting the Xie faction directly, so he just walked up to the gates of the clan directly. Their unusual building style appeared once again and he calmly admired it once again. All of their buildings had roofs covered in grass and vegetation, and there were countless insects moving atop them. Sage didnt have any reason to hide his arrival, and he had to use his identity in order to enter. If he tried to conceal who he was, then it would only make the factions suspicious of him. If they had very good information gathering, they might know about the Tiankong Clan and Sages time being protected by the Mount Song Sword Sect. If they didnt, they might think he was all alone now after having Lionheart Town taken away from him.

A flash of anger appeared in Chong Xiezis eyes and then it faded away. She let out a sigh and the Great Elder patted her arm. That ageless woman suddenly seemed to take that spark of anger that Xiezi had let go of. Her eyes narrowed and Sage felt her aura rise, You brat! You dare to show up here without remorse? Why arent you begging for forgiveness yet? Do you not realize the blade hanging over your neck?

Sage nodded at the woman, and gave her an appreciative smile, I have chosen the right side.

Then, in something of a complete reversal, he bent forward and spoke with a challenging tone, My neck is right here. Do you dare to chop it? If you think you have the ability, go ahead and try, but you certainly wont like the consequences.

A vast power surged out of the Great Elder. The air crackled the power of a law that Sage couldnt quite pin down and he felt it gathering over him. While he was still bent forward with his head stretched out, he also gathered strength and two laws swirled in the air around him. The thermal power of hot and cold, along with the twisting sensation of corruption. The power of laws was not strength on its own, but a magnifying force. They both tapped into the laws of the world and compared them to each other, and Sage was not surprised, but the Great Elder was. Sages mastery of his laws was only rudimentary, but they were of a higher quality than her own, and there were two of them.

She was startled enough to blurt out her thoughts, Two primal laws?!
