Chapter 680: Birds
Upon meeting, there were some more secret protocols to follow, mainly demonstrating that he also knew the techniques from How to be Little Birdy, and then using some secret codewords to show that he wasnt just someone who stole their techniques. The difficult part was convincing the Falcon to request reports for him. Especially since this whole meeting was being conducted using a bird as a medium. The Birdwatching technique let them influence where a bird flew and listen to what it heard. For this meeting, both himself and the falcon were merely talking to a bird without laying eyes on the other party. Sages birds were led by the opposing Falcons birds to a place out of his view while he was speaking to one that had remained behind.
Sage had to accept a compromise, having the Falcon deliver a message up the chain with a phrase that Wan Ling would recognize. He also stated that he wished to gather information about the Artful Life Alliance and also that agents should be sent to learn more about the Eastern and Western Coalitions of the Dou Kingdom. In the past he hadnt cared about them, but after learning more about them from the Chong Clan he was curious about the conflict at the higher levels. Especially since the Fu Clan was part of the Western Coalition. If he were to wipe them out, would the rest of the coalition come after him?
Since he guessed it would take a few days for a message to return he scheduled a meeting for three days later and left the Jade Horde Camp. He thanked Abbot Kunga and went into the nearby city. This city is where they received most of their business from and so their camp was only a short distance from it. He rented a room at an Inn and focused on completing his recovery. A few days later, Sage met with a bird outside of the city and quickly left for his next destination.
Surprisingly, many of the smaller sects that were part of the Artful Life Alliance had suddenly disappeared. Sects, Clans, and large businesses had been abandoned completely overnight. One night they were operating as usual and then the next day the place was completely barren. Sage wasnt surprised by the smaller groups doing this, but the part that did intrigue him was that two of the stronger parts of the alliance had also been abandoned. The Sound Sword Sect and Yincha Sect were both completely vacated. Those were the groups that the two Nascent Souls from the Artful Life Alliance originated from. Hed heard that the Artful Life Alliance had three Nascent Souls, so this news meant that two of them had already disappeared.
It would make sense if they knew of my true power, but there isnt anybody who should know about the Purple Mist Sect.
The Elder thought he was meeting with a business man, but he was met with a sudden strike to the back of the head. The man was knocked out and restrained before he knew what was going on. This particular Elder was old and respected in the Sect, but he was only in the early stages of the fifth rank. Sage chose him as a target because of the mans low cultivation, specifically. After restraining the old man, Sage woke him back up and gave him a good threatening. Then he asked who had supported their Sect joining the Artful Life Alliance. He knocked the old man back out again and then killed three Elders and the Vice-head of the Sect. The leader was new and hadnt been in power when the Sect joined the alliance so Sage let her live.
Sage had killed others in the alliance without doing as much verification as this time, but for some reason he gave this group a little more slack. Maybe it was because they were audacious enough to not run away after what happened to the others in their alliance.
The next group on the list was one that hed been quite familiar with in the past. The Shou Clan. Those fellows with the long ears that had so many dealings with Hei Bai. Sage took a similar tactic as he had in the last city, gathering information at a bar and then finding an enemy of the Shou Clan as a source of information. This time he captured a member of that rich clan in the and the man was happy to share information with him. Then Sage used the Hypnotic Eye to influence him: You wont remember sharing any information about the Shou Clan after this.
Its good to forget, so I dont upset our new allies.
That sudden admission made Sage pause. The prior information had been given voluntarily, but now that he had the man under control a new fact was revealed? They really are plotting!
