Chapter 755: Startled

All three of the Xie Elders were beautiful women. Two of them looked to be twins, but there was another woman standing behind them that looked exactly the same. These triplets were all level 61, and were the old Elders that Sage first met on the council. One of them had given up her seat at some point and the Great Elder was sitting upon it. This third elder of the Xie had at one time stepped down from the council because the Jinxi Ancestor felt pressured by her. She was currently at the peak of the Nascent Soul level, just as the old freak had been, and so once the triplets broke through, she let the three of them hold the Elder seats.

She had only taken the seat back to cooperate with Sage and organize the duel that had ended with the old freaks first death. After that event, the Xie obtained the ruling seat on the council and she became the Chong Clans new Matriarch. The Xiyi, the lizards, only had a single Nascent Soul among their three elders, which had previously made them the weakest faction, but after the death of the Jinxi Ancestor and the young master Jinxi Po, they no longer had any Nascent Souls left. At least thats what they wanted everyone to think. The Great Elder of the Xie had gone into hiding at one point, so it was still quite likely that the Jinxi were hiding a Nascent Soul somewhere. Shoot, theres no telling how many Nascent Souls any of the other factions are hiding either.

On the other hand, if they had so many powerful people, they wouldnt be hiding them all, so Sage guessed there was only one or two secret Nascent Souls hiding in each faction. Perhaps the presence of these secret weapons was what kept them all behaving politely.

The three people who had tried to flee the council meeting were currently assaulting the barrier around the area frantically. The three triplets suddenly moved as one, waving their hands and releasing red ribbons from their hands. One of the triplets held the glowing silver bowl with one hand while waving the other. The other two women stayed in their seats while waving their hands. The three ribbons flashed through the air and swirled in unison around one of the people trying to escape. Terror flashed in the young mans eyes and then he fell to the ground with a dull thump. The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.

The second person turned around and dropped down to his knees, rubbing his forehead on the ground and wailing for forgiveness. The middle-aged man started to make excuses, I did it for the clan! We will grow so much stronger if we team up with them! You have to believe me!

At the same time the third person, a woman that looked like she was still a teenager, had turned around and started laughing hysterically. She pointed at an older man still standing behind an Elders chair and started screaming, I wont let you go unpunished! I only did it to get revenge upon you Uncle! You vile bastard. I curse you! I will not die peacefully and my vengeful ghost will haunt you for all eternity for what you did to me!

Good enough. Now then, shall we begin? There is an enemy we have been ignoring for far too long, the Matriarch glanced over at the Jinxi Elders briefly, then continued speaking, The Fu Clan have been a thorn in our side for hundreds of years, the product of an enmity thousands of years old. We have been at odds with them since I was a young girl. That was when we learned of their treacherous nature and started to suspect them. The Chong Clan will no longer suffer a treacherous snake as a neighbor.

Some of the people in the room were surprised to hear the Matriarchs words. News had spread in the clan of their preparations, but only those at the top were privy to who exactly their target was. Everyone in the room was someone valued by one of the Elders, but that didnt mean they were told everything in advance.

Maybe the council already knew how many traitors there were and so they kept tight control over the information.

Sage was only guessing based on the expressions he noticed, since he had thought everyone already knew what was going on. Theyd been brought the news by a messenger, so he thought the other branches had received similar notes as his own. He immediately felt a little more positive towards this new Matriarch. It was obvious he would always be told, as it was the condition he raised before dueling the old Patriarch. On the other hand, he was quite surprised to find out theyd kept it a secret from so many other leaders, but seeing the number of traitors he suddenly understood their concerns.

I wonder how that bowl works?

The Matriarch waved her hand and a huge holographic image sprung to life in the air in front of her. Sage recognized it as some sort of illusionary technique that she was using to make a giant hologram of the Fu Clans headquarters as seen from the air.

Impressive!
