Chapter 78: Demon Seed
As the Emerald Dragonfly sped away, Sage was finally starting to relax. They were a few hundred feet away from the Solarium and he figured they were safe now. The Dragonfly had darted down below the treeline to try and hide its presence. Sage had rapidly raised and matured the Dragonfly from an egg in just a couple minutes. The Dragonfly was far weaker than its current rank would suggest and it had only a very small energy reserve. He had rushed the process of growth and maturing, as well as not taking the extra time to refill the Dragonflys own energy before they raced off at full speed.
Once he felt they were safe, Sage doubled the distance from the Solarium before letting the Dragonfly return to the ground to rest. Still worried, Sage used spirit stones to recover the Dragonflys energy. At the same time he used a few of the stones on himself, having spent everything he had to get the Dragonfly to full size as quickly as possible earlier.
Snap!
The sound of a twig breaking suddenly drew Sages attention. Jumping up from where he was seated and looking around for the source. He hadnt planned to stay here long so his normal preparations werent taken. There were no formations or alarm crickets to warn him of danger. Having just escaped from battle this was his most vulnerable moment. The bushes around the small clearing they had landed in all started to rustle. Just as Sage seemed to take notice more and more branches and twigs snapped, leaves fell to the ground and a commotion arose around them. Sage was about to quickly enter the space in the Dragonfly and escape only to see things suddenly go dark.
Thick vines had extended over the clearing they were in, weaving together and rapidly creating shade. The clearing went from bright daylight to dim shade in an instant. They had extended rapidly while he was examining the motion in the bushes around him. Damn, I didnt act fast enough.
Now that this Grandfather is here, hand over the Lamp of Passion and Ill let you brats live.
Sage heard a single voice echo down the canyon and realized the ones having a conversation were above him. He was in a narrow canyon with steep sides nearly fifty feet high. If he could climb up these rocks he could get a good look at what was going on above. Heh, who needs to climb!
With a thought, he drew out the Emerald Dragonfly. He had put it in his Beast Bag earlier so hed be ready to merge with something else while he was still underwater, but he hadnt needed to. Transferring into the internal space of the Dragonfly, he had it carry him up and out of the canyon, but only after first taking a further trip down the river so he wasnt noticed by the ones talking above. The Dragonfly was actually pretty conspicuous so Sage dropped out of it a few hundred feet away from the people and slithered his way closer. At the same time he released a neon blue gas from his body, having mastered the Cerulean Cloud technique during his year of training. While it couldnt hide him from the normal senses it protected him from Spirit Sense, something that all high level Cultivators relied upon just as much as their vision and hearing. He wasnt sure what rank these guys were, but better to be safe. Getting closer he heard that same voice from earlier, one that definitely wasnt an old man. It sounded more like an arrogant and stuck up youth.
Since youve already refused my kind offer a few times, this Grandfather is running out of patience! Now you have to give me the Lamp of Passion, all of your Spirit Stones, and also kneel down and apologize for wasting my time. You wretches better hurry up while Im still being lenient.
Sage slithered a bit closer in time to see that it was two groups in confrontation. The first was a group of three teenagers in matching uniforms. A male of about seventeen, a younger boy looking around fourteen, and a fifteen or sixteen year old girl. Sage was surprised to see such young people running around in the wilderness. Across from them was a group of seven, all of them looking like sixteen to eighteen year old hooligans, burly and mean with leering looks on their faces and standing behind a fourteen year old boy. This boy was the grandfather that kept making ridiculous demands and it seemed he had a team of goons that gave him such bravery.
