Sages airship flew directly towards the Hoplite settlents. Since he didnt wish to waste any ti, once theyd entered the wilderness he released another ten thousand Dragoons and had them spread over the Province to round up the scattered squads of the Jade Horde. He used the intelligence gathered by the information network to plot their routes. For his own efforts, he took Songji along and they stopped at the half-dozen small settlents in the province and surrounded them. He released his Hypnotic Eyes and the majority of the town marched over to him in orderly fashion. They were sent directly into his Inner World to join the other Hoplites while the Dragoons stripped the settlent, anything useful was also sent in with them.
There were only a handful of non-Hoplites living near or in the Hoplite settlents and Sage gave them the choice of going with them, or having their mory of the day wiped. One man was strong enough that Sage had to take his true form to wipe his mories, and there was surprisingly a kind woman who had taken it upon herself to care for the Hoplites. Amazingly, she was just as strong as Ruanfu and Sage had already upset her.
What have you done?
Sage didnt fear her, but she was certainly an unexpected variable and outside his range of control. She had been hiding her aura and strength so he only recognized after hed put half the settlent into his Inner World, The situation is complicated, but you could say I am protecting them.
This woman had pitied the low intelligence and simple living conditions of the Hoplites, so despite her great strength she was living among them. Teaching the children and helping them to improve their village.
Where did all the villagers go? What did you do?
She was already gathering her power, trying to determine if Sage had used so evil thod to destroy the villagers without leaving any evidence. Storage treasures that could actually contain people were extrely rare and absurdly expensive. She had no idea the Hoplites were actually Spirit Insects and could even be stored in Beast Bags, not to ntion thinking that Sage could have sothing like the Universe Ring or his own Inner World.
Sage contemplated how to respond. He didnt wish to needlessly co into conflict with a level 61, not to ntion whatever power she might belong to. She could certainly be a rogue cultivator with no backing, but the chances of that were low. Then Sage pointed to the two thousand Dragoons encircling the settlent, As you can see, they are similar species. Instead of wiping the Hoplites out, I am taking them away instead.
She took a closer look at the Dragoons around her and seed sowhat at a loss, How can you take them away? It seems to youre just using so secret thod to wipe them out and now you are spewing lies to trick .
Busybodies. Theyre always a pain to deal with.
I would not like to invite a conflict with you, or those who back you. I possess a World Core. The Hoplites have been sent there. If you wish to see, you will have to put yourself at my rcy and I dont believe you trust enough for that.
Revealing his secrets was unfortunate, but it was sothing hed been prepared to do. Those at the highest levels were likely already aware of this information, so he was rely sharing it with the next rung down. For the woman to enter his Inner World she would have to not resist his power and once she was there, she would truly have little chance against him. While he couldnt enter his own Inner World, Sage had a great influence over it. The whole world could fight against her. What she said next surprised him.
I will agree, let see them.
The womans words shocked him and it took a mont for him to realize she was serious. She abruptly concealed her aura and drew back her strength. Sage was surprised and also tempted. He drew her into his Inner World, wondering if this was so sort of trap, but continuing nonetheless. There was very little chance she had been waiting here for him and even less that she had so thod of resisting him after she entered his Inner World. Sage sent her to the island where hed been isolating all the Hoplites. Efficiency wise, he should have just been killing them off. Only, the ones living in the settlents really had nothing to do with betraying him, and even the soldiers directly serving Wu Chang were rely following orders. He made the Hoplites to follow the commands of their superior officers, it was his own fault that he allowed soone else to enter that command structure and turn them against him.
The woman flew around the massive island for a while, realizing just how many of these Hoplites were gathered here. She was surprised to find there were also so humans mixed in among them. Eventually, she stopped in mid-air and looked to Sages consciousness that had been following her around. It looked just the sa as he did in the real world, but it was only a spirit body. She seed to be thinking sothing over. Sage made a guess, I am not a travel agency that will arrange for constant visits. This is a one ti trip to show you my sincerity. If you wish to stay, the only way I will let you out in the future is if you work for .
He did not want so woman constantly chasing him down so she could visit the Hoplites. Laying down the harsh conditions was rely his thod to fish for another Nascent Soul Cultivator. There wasnt much chance shed agree, but he took the chance to offer anyway. It was also possible shed be insulted and hed gain her enmity, but he didnt feel like wasting the ti to slowly convince her. He didnt even know her na.
Alright. I can agree to your terms, but only if you let return to my clan first. I have so arrangents to make before I can leave them.
Wait. What? She agrees? This lady has so sort of complex.
Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Sage agreed with her terms and returned her to the real world. The Dragoons were finished stripping the village and Sage sent the supplies and materials to the Inner World, right next to those from the settlent. He led the woman to the airship and stepped on board. Songji was looking at him oddly, Big Brother, who is this?
Only then did they finally make introductions. Sage cupped his fist, I am Lang Sheng. Forr Leader of the Jade Horde, and now City Lord of Lionheart Town.
Songji understood what was going on, I am Tiankong Songji. Whats your na, sister?
The womans brow rose when she heard Sages introduction, but she replied calmly, I am Dian Huifang, it is nice eting you. Can you please take to my clan in Flying Wind Province?
Wait Dian Clan in Flying Wind Province. That sounds familiar.
