Chapter 999: Hostages
It didnt take long before the three from the Chain Ocean Palace had their energy stores drained, were paralyzed, and then trussed up in cocoon-like bundles of webbing. Two of the Purple Mist Sect members picked up the, now four, hostages and carried them like suitcases, one on either side. The other six Purple Mist Sect members spread out, searching the area for any witnesses or evidence that was left behind as well as collecting the Formation Cores. Sage sent the whole Flying Ship to the Inner World and then started running off to the north.
In a copse of trees a few hundred yards away, a person wearing dark purple armor dropped a small dark sphere into the crevice between a pile of rocks before running off.
Sage arrived at the entrance of a cave, and the four hostages were carried in behind him. A few moments later, the other six Purple Mist Sect members reached the cave and disappeared inside. A few minutes later screams and grunts of pain resounded from its dark depths. Then the group of nine walked back out of the cave and pushed a large boulder over to block the entrance. Then the eight members of the Purple Mist Sect disappeared and a huge leaf the size and shape of a canoe appeared. Sage jumped on top of it and it shot off into the distance, flying very low to the ground.
In the Tianxia Capital it required a special license for flying on each level, which Sage hadnt purchased. He only risked this quick flight so he didnt leave a trail behind. This was also the reason why the Red Comet he was riding on was carrying a few large backpack sized objects in front of where he was standing. These things were Magical Tools created to help block different forms of tracking.
As for those from the Chain Ocean Palace, they were alive and well inside the cave. After a little negotiation they agreed to pay Chu Shuais debts with the Flying Ship. All it took was waving their storage rings in front of them and a short sentence, It would be quite the shame if we had to take ownership of these rings to pay the debts.
Sage didnt pay attention to this part as the man had always been nickel and diming him in the past. There was probably a charge for tens of millions on that ledger for when Sage injured and captured him. Instead, Sage had a different question to ask this employer of his.
I need a list of every one of the debtors names, locations, abilities, and what they owe. Dont try to be mysterious anymore. If you want this job to be completed properly, I need to properly plan and prepare. It would be even better if you marked the debts that are actually important. If we continue antagonizing the Chain Ocean Palace we should focus upon acquiring the most important things first. I know you want to try and obfuscate which items are actually important to you, but if you keep doing that theres no telling if well ever get them back.
Guan Zhenyans projection appeared on the seat next to Sage, smoking his large pipe and looking at him with a lazy smile. The man kept staring at him for a full minute, which may not seem like a long time, but when someone was staring in complete silence it certainly felt like an eternity. With another large puff of smoke, he finally spoke, Youve grown quite bold. Do you think I trust you?
I trusted you once. You saved me from a gilded cage and then locked me with chains of debt instead. Then you chose to succumb to my rebellion and have been using me to hide ever since. Youve already swindled me out of a Realm Heart, so dont pretend like you havent benefited from our relationship. I promised to finish this task for you long ago, but if you insist upon being mysterious it really will take centuries to complete.
Another cloud of illusionary smoke rolled over Sages face and then a rolled up scroll appeared on the seat beside him, which wasnt an illusion. Guan Zhenyan waved his pipe down at it, Sign this Blood Contract and youll get your list.
