Chapter 794: Lotus Flowers
This time, the hail of seeds and shower of orange flame did not let up for an eternity, comparatively at least. Of course, he couldnt keep up this attack forever and finally the Winter Lotuses ran out of energy. The last of the seed pods were expelled and the last of large flowers shriveled up and fell off. The vines that had sprouted them still remained, but the flames that were shielding the Peak Master lifted into the air and expanded outwards. Colliding with the vines, the flames seemed far more effective this time. Instead of just cutting into the vines like they were blades, the brilliant sapphire flames clung to the vines, losing their previous shape. They had appeared to be like solid blades of energy, but at this time they showed that they were in fact real flames. Flames that could burn through even these wrist thick vines with ease.
The river of flame stopped pouring out of Sages mouth and he reached up to rub his jaw, feeling the sore area of muscle from holding his mouth open for so long. In front of him the other set of flaming lotus petals spun in place without advancing towards him again. The Peak Master finished burning away the cage he was trapped in, leaving the two of them facing off. Sages golden eyes were fixed upon Xuegangs brown eyes. Sage saw that despite the mans vainglorious nature, he was not as sinister as hed feared.
Its good I dont have to kill this fellow. That would be very difficult to explain away.
The two of them had paused, neither making another offensive move at the moment. Sage gave the man a smile, just in time for the Peak Master to realize they were not alone in this room. The Peak Master felt a pressure against his Spiritual Sense from behind him in two places. He immediately reached out actively and realized these two new arrivals were also Nascent Souls!
Sage didnt give the Peak Master any time to confuse the situation and quickly explained to him, You never stood a chance from the beginning. Do you understand now? If you continue to go against me or mine in the future, you know what will happen, right?
If you fought back against a school yard bully hard enough to injure them in return, it would ruin their fearful reputation. It was much easier for them to target the weak instead, ones that could be scared into doing their bidding. Sage didnt cause any lasting harm to the Peak Master, nor did he ruin the mans public reputation. He hoped the Peak Master could agree to this little private agreement. While he was pretty sure that the Holy Flame Sect would end up siding with him once they realized the strength on his side, it would also weaken their relationship and that would be quite unfortunate.
The old dormitory hed once shared with his three classmates in the Sect had long been passed on to others and his three friends were Elders on three different peaks. As such, meeting up with them again with such short notice was no simple task. As such, Sage didnt bother with any formalities and went directly to the Million Skill Library, the place where the Holy Flame Sect kept its vast library of knowledge and techniques. He still had his identity token as a member of the sect as well as his Profession Badges which acted as his keys to enter the library. Knowledge was restricted by ones achievement in their professions, so he was far from accessing their whole collection at the moment.
He planned on formally advancing his Professions, allowing him to access the whole of the Million Skill Library and collecting the whole of their knowledge for himself and his Clan. Sage had already justified this appropriation to himself, considering it to be akin to a descendant or apprentice.
If I know everything they know, it will make it twice as hard for this important heritage to ever be lost, right? They should be thanking me for doing such a service. The Holy Flame Sect is not just my mentor, but the mentor to my whole Clan. We will take their knowledge, improve it and carry it on into the future.
If those in the Holy Flame Sect were to hear him speak about stealing their heritage in such a blatant manner, the vast majority of them would spit up blood. Even so, Sage wouldnt care at all, especially not at this time as he was quickly copying down every text in the library to the libraries of the Inner World.
