Chapter 767: Escape

This confrontation might seem to be to the former Fu Matriarchs advantage, but she didnt seem to be treating it that way. Inwardly she was extremely nervous. If their escape was discovered the chances of them getting away and starting over somewhere new were drastically reduced. Even if they feel successful later, if someone knew they were still out there, how would they be able to feel safe and secure? Wouldnt she always be keeping an eye open to look out for their former enemies? It was especially terrible because they had already left behind the majority of the Fu Clan and its assets. If the Chong Clan found them again later with only this fraction of their former strength how could they stand any chance at all?

It is not arrogance, but complete confidence. My husband was the one that desired the treasures that the Chong Clan stumbled upon. I opposed his choice long ago, but he still went through with assaulting that caravan. Just like I feared, the Chong Clan found out the Fu Clan was responsible. I learned later that someone else was responsible for leaking not only who committed the crime, but they were also the source that told my husband about the treasure. I never figured out who did it, but someone set us two neighbors at odds. Since then the Fu Clan has been divided internally. All those who supported my husband have been noted and Ive left them all behind. I always feared a day like this would come, so I prepared for it from the start.

While she was talking, Sage had taken a few steps to the side and passed behind the trunk of a large tree. When he walked out, a dozen others in dark purple armor followed behind him. They started to spread out, facing off against the invisible wall of laws that the former Matriarch had created. A couple of them even moved out in parallel to the wall, moving to find the edge of the wall and skirt around it.

With the sudden appearance of so many others, the old womans face fell and she quickly held up her hands in a plea, Stop! Stop! I still have more to offer you, please reconsider, she spoke quickly, but she could see that this opponent of hers was making no moves to halt those on his side and she quickly stammered, Ill tell you where Whitestaff is!

Sage didnt react as she was hoping, and a layer of green Qi appeared around his body, while a layer of purple Qi appeared around the others beside him. He gave an order, but not one she wished to hear, This woman has valuable information, dont let her escape, but we only need her Nascent Soul.

The womans face went pale and her hands moved rapidly and a huge fluctuation of energy built up in front of her chest, Stay your hand! If there is no hope for my descendants then I will not hesitate to end my life and see how many of you I can take with me.

Without making any specific demands or knowing what he was looking at, he couldnt really confirm whether or not the Fu Matriarch handed over everything she knew. Even so, he didn't really care all that much. The techniques could be used by the Lang Clan or distributed on the Inner World, but he was really just after the technique he specifically mentioned. The Fu Matriarch was forced to hand over this secret and she quickly shared the other two pieces of information before he let her go.

The Fu Clan was ordered to assist in your assassination by someone from the Dou Royal Family. We didnt dare to ask more. The messenger kept their face, voice, and cultivation hidden, but they carried a royal token as verification. As for Whitestaff, she is said to have become the disciple of a great master from the Imperial Capital.

The Tianxia Capital?

She nodded and fled as quickly as she could. They had a Blood Contract, but she was not willing to find out if they had left any loopholes. It would be especially terrible if someone else stumbled upon them and shed be in just as terrible a situation as earlier. Sage let her go as soon as he confirmed that shed handed over the technique he was looking for.

It turned out to be a trio of techniques. The first was a recipe for creating a new body, the sort of thing that Nascent Souls needed to use if their body was killed, yet their soul survived. The second was a method of self-detonation. It was not a complete suicide, but something that turned the physical body into a weapon. It had a sort of auto-pilot with a countdown so a Nascent Soul could leave their body and make a run for it before the body detonated. Then, the last technique was actually a sort of concealment technique that a Nascent Soul could use.

Ahh, so thats how they did that. Interesting.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
