Chapter 690: Decline
Those strange thoughts were dispelled quite immediately and a message was sent off. The Yincha Sect Leader was not so easily convinced. She seemed quite pleased to find someone that hadnt immediately given her a concerned look. Her own taste was quite unusual, and she was a frequent part of a very select crowd. This person that was supposed to be her enemy seemed to be a member of her crowd! Lady Diyin and the Sound Sect Sword Master didnt have any more foolish thoughts, but they also didnt move to stop her.
For Sages part, he found this woman to be extremely flirtatious, but he was also very far from showing any interest. This woman was his enemy, he was not foolish enough to trust anything she said. On the other hand, he was happy to let her chatter on, because he was waiting for the Artful Life Alliance to spring its trap. All of these high level Cultivators had such long lives that any time Sage was up against a large organization he always assumed at least one of them would be strategizing and plotting against him. With that in mind, he made sure to show off two layers of his own plots before finally showing himself for an assumed final confrontation. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
There was no way to know how many parts these sorts of plans had, but there was always a limit to how far that could go. If someone was reserving their elite forces or laying out traps in a dozen different layers, wasnt that just splitting their power into a dozen parts? Even if you wore the enemy down at each level, how many of your forces would be sacrificed along the way? Striking with an overwhelming advantage was always the most preferable in order to minimize ones own losses. There was also the risk that the enemy sees through your plot and disrupts it. If your plan has ten steps and they dont do what you predicted on the second, what do you do?
The Shou Clan Leaders flirtatious banter suddenly came to a stop when a number of powerful auras burst to life around this portion of the forest. Thunderous loud noise started to erupt from all around them. The roar of flame, the gurgling of water, rushing winds, the rumble of the earth, the crack of snapped wood, and most importantly the shouts of men and women. At the same time, the hundreds of rank 5s on the scene turned around and started to assault the forest around them once more. They rapidly expanded the clearing while the three Nascent Souls kept their eyes on their fifty foes. Then the sounds in the distance rapidly grew closer. The source of those sounds became apparent when the hundreds of rank fives ran into familiar faces. While they expanded the clearing, there were others smashing down the forest from the outside. At that point, the clearing had been transformed into a field. Miles in every direction had now been completely scoured clean of all vegetation.
The hundreds of rank fives met up with hundreds more. The number of high level forces suddenly doubled. The previous four to one odds they were facing had now suddenly jumped up to more than eight to one. Worse yet, they were only an appetizer. The main reinforcement was actually the vast aura of five other Nascent Souls.
Wow! They really went all out. They hired three mercenaries? How generous of them.
Youll have to forgive us, Little Miss. This fellow has to die today.
You thought we had three so you brought five? Or were you arrogant enough to think that your five could beat our five? Are you going to turn green from regret? Were you too prideful as a mercenary to hire other mercenaries?
The stoop backed elder had seemed to lose his confident and workmanlike tone he used to have in favor of a boastful one. Seeing the boastful and gloating person in front of him, Sage would be very surprised to see how calm and confident this old man was at all other times. At this moment, Sage looked at the mercenaries again, How much would it cost to cancel your current contract?
The three of them sneered back at him, not even bothering to share a glance before replying in unison, Impossible!
One of these three men carried a twin halberd, a spear with crescent shaped blades on either side of it. He followed up to clarify, even as the other two seemed too busy sneering to say anything, There is no amount of money that would make us cancel a contract.
You are honorable mercenaries? Damn, I was really hoping you werent.
The three looked at him with contempt, thinking he was trying to buy his way out of this problem. What they didnt realize was that Sage was merely distressed about having to kill people he would otherwise respect.
Its such a shame they have to die.
