Chapter 928: Contract

Make your announcement, then pass control to me. Unless youd prefer to be the one using your Sect Protecting Array to trap your own Clan.

Xie Bians face twisted with his declaration. This order was truly distasteful to her, but if she trusted Lang Shengs words then it would be best for the Chong Clan to comply. By trapping her own Clan in then it would help squash any misguided hope of escape. The Blood Contract Lang Sheng showed her proved that as long as they surrendered they would be safe. If they escaped from the Clan then it would be much more dangerous for them when the Lang Clan hunted them down.

The five members of the Purple Mist Sect dissolved the trapping formation and released Xie Bian and her scorpion. Ancestor Scorpion still looked eager to fight, but Xie Bian shook her head, Lets go.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

She led Sage through the wreckage caused by the giant scorpions rapid approach over to a nine layered stone pagoda. After claiming the Lucky Star Province from the Fu Clan, theyd spent a few years building this immense building as the core of their Sect Protecting Array. They walked up to it without anyone else approaching or disturbing them, which might be odd if it were not for the fact that more than a hundred Nascent Souls were around them. Sage walked into the Pagoda with her and to the center of the first floor where a giant cylindrical bell was placed. It was covered in complicated array symbols and Xie Bian walked up to it. She connected her Qi to it and for just an instant thought about using the array to resist. She glanced outside and saw that the five wearing dark purple armor were still loosely surrounding her partner and Lang Sheng was watching her closely.

For his part, Sage didnt say anything. He simply smiled knowingly and shook his head, You know it wont do much. Only a small fraction of this arrays power will work here and even at its full strength I can break through it in a few hours.

Xie Bian reluctantly did as he asked, telling the members of the Clan to head towards their location. As soon as the announcement was completed, Sage took control of the array from the reluctant Xie Bian. He took only a moment to familiarize himself with it and then activated it, inverting its power so the barrier that stopped anything from entering the Clan was now focused to keep anything from exiting. This sudden change meant that the announcement was not a joke, or at least the fact that the Chong Clan was in trouble was real. The number of people that were planning their escape suddenly dropped. Those who were already rushing to leave the Clan also stopped in their tracks. Unless many Nascent Souls combined their efforts for a sustained period there was no way to break through the large scale defensive array. Most Cultivators knew that these big arrays could last as long as the people in charge kept feeding resources into it.

With the announcement complete, Sage gave the order to the Purple Mist Sect and the majority of them quickly moved to the perimeter of the Chong Clan territory. Previously, theyd been protecting the central area to keep the Elders from interrupting Sages discussion with the Clan Head. Most in the Chong Clan had no idea what was going on, and only the Elders realized what they were up against. Not many people knew the dire straits they were in and escaped immediately, most were ready to go to battle with these foreign elements in the center of their Clan. Now that it was obvious they were no match, the Purple Mist Sect members moved over towards the defensive array. There were still bound to be many desperate people who tried to escape with all their might and so the majority of the Purple Mist Sect were prepared to intercept them.

A small number of the Purple Mist Sect moved as a group to quell those who were trying to organize into groups to resist. Groups of five moved through the Chong Clan, instantly knocking out those who were calling for others to team up. The Chong Clan had always been divided into factions which meant all the strongest members of the Clan were not located together. None of the factions had more than three Nascent Souls, so when a group of five Purple Mist Sect members showed up, they knew they had no chance. Even if they wanted to team up with the other factions to attempt an escape they would first have to get past the enemies that outnumbered them.

The Chong Clan had gained many important resources after their war with the Fu Clan. Theyd also lost a pair of Nascent Souls. Theyd also overthrown the Jinxi faction which had led to the loss of two Nascent Souls just before that. The issue was that the advancement of Nascent Souls was never guaranteed. They were sure that with their new position and influx of resources they would have more rise, but they didnt know how many decades this would take. Worse yet, after using Messaging Jades to confer with the leaders of the other factions, they realized how bad the situation was. They gathered their most important family members, the most powerful and the ones with the most potential around them, hiding within their own faction headquarters to gather more information.

The teams of five from the Purple Mist Sect didnt stop them and instead focused on the smaller resistance groups, letting the main faction Elders do what they wished. The leaders were quite cautious and sent scouts to better check the situation. After receiving the reports one of the Elders went to the defensive barrier and confirmed their worst fears. The news spread through the faction Elders quickly and they realized the sheer power they were up against. What force could have so many rank sixes and why were they its victim? With such odds against them, they could only follow the arrangements of their Clan Head and approach the pagoda at the center of their territory.
