The Purple Mist Sect mbers started to bring out equipnt to be used for convincing Chu Shuai to repay his debts. For debtors that he planned to release again, Sage was careful not to send them to the Inner World. Especially after he found out about the Chain Ocean Palace, he was extra careful not to disappear any of their mbers. They would think he killed them, or worse, the Chain Ocean Palace would know theyre still alive and know Sage had sent them sowhere. That would give them a good reason to co after him and might also lead to suspicion of what he did to them. It would be even worse if they forced him to release them again and then they found out about the Inner World.
Unfortunately, this ant the most effective thod of wearing them down with ti and the futility of escape was no longer available. Within just a few minutes, there were already so pained noises coming from Chu Shuai. They hadnt yet taken away the mans storage treasures, still leaving him a thod to hand over what was owed. Storage Rings had built in protections and it would be much easier on them if they could get Chu Shuai to volunteer the paynt. It was a little more stressful to constantly watch out for any tricks and pull away any tools or weapons the man tried to use, but they could count all the confiscated goods towards the paying off of the debt.
They started to make progress with Chu Shuai around the hour mark, but thats when sothing went wrong. A small Flying Ship carrying three powerful Cultivators swooped over the top of the plateau they were on. Each level of the Tianxia Capital was over a thousand miles wide, so there was plenty of wide empty area for this sort of clandestine combat to happen. Soone stumbling upon them on such a desolate level was very unusual. Three of the Purple Mist Sect mbers stayed focused on their captive while the other five took up a defensive formation around them. Sage stepped towards the hovering ship and he blinked, activating Foresight to watch out for an ambush. A mont later, two of the three powerful Cultivators stepped off the ship, slowly floating down towards the ground. The two of them were still attached to the ship by a chain, lowering themselves downwards to the ground with a gentle smoothness.
They certainly put on a good show for their first appearance, but those chains an
The two won touched down upon the ground in front of Sage and they both looked past him to focus upon Chu Shuai who was now strapped to a chair. The woman in the lead looked quite young while the other woman stood to the side and slightly behind looked to be in the later middle ages from the slight wrinkles around her eyes and lips. A tendril of Spiritual Sense extended from them to try to check Chu Shuais condition, but the formation ford by the Purple Mist Sect mbers blocked off their probing. Seeing this defense, the two won finally turned their gaze to Sage.
In this situation, it was three Nascent Souls matching off against nine Nascent Souls. The three new arrivals realized they were outnumbered and so they seed to be taking a more polite path. The two won stared him down for a long mont before finally starting to speak. The woman in the lead had a pleasant voice which contained far less vitriol than he was expecting, Greetings to you. It seems that my Chain Ocean Palace has offended you and Im so very sorry for the trouble. I thank you for being so magnanimous to treat our mber so kindly after our misstep. Please tell how we have wronged you so we can properly compensate you.
Chain Ocean Palace, is it? Excellent. You are correct, you have greatly wronged ! Though, to be specific, it is not , but my employer that you are in debt to. I am working on behalf of the Dream Dealer and there are many debts owed by mbers of your Chain Ocean Palace. It would be excellent if you could repay them all right now and save quite a bit of trouble. Most of the debts are between the individual mbers of your organization and the Dream Dealer, but if your organization would like to take responsibility for each of its mbers that would be quite wonderful.
Upon hearing ntion of the na Dream Dealer, the womans features tightened for just an instant. She was too experienced for the whole range of emotions she was feeling to show themselves on her face, but with the ti pace of the Inner World, Sage could easily identify the stress she felt upon initially hearing the na. That lasted only a mont though as the woman to the rear seed to shift after his admissions. The respectful look on her face subtly shifted to take on more of a haughty tilt, yet she stayed quiet as the younger woman in front continued to speak.
The Dream Dealer is back? How wonderful! My Chain Ocean Palace has a deep and long lasting relationship with the Dream Dealer. Where is he now? I know the Palace Master has been eager to see him again. Can you ask him to stop by again? Im certain the Palace Master would love to throw another feast for him so they can catch up on old tis.
Thats good to hear. Im so glad the Chain Ocean Palace is on such good terms with the Dream Dealer still. Will the palace pay the debts owed by its mbers? Or does that an youll be helping collect on the debts that your mbers owe?
Please forgive , I dont have the authority to make such important decisions for the whole of the Palace. Im not on the level of the Palace Master or the Dream Dealer, after all. Im sure that once the Dream Dealer visits with the Palace Master they can discuss how the situation can be handled so that it benefits both parties the most.
You dont have the authority to make those decisions? Well, thats a real sha. I suppose that ans my work will have to continue then. Are you here to pay for Chu Shuais debts, then?
Sage already knew that Guan Zhenyan didnt want to do this job himself, and as soon as the woman asked for a eting with the Palace Master, Sage was harshly scolded by the man, You cannot agree to that. Understand?
With that tip, Sage got many ideas about the relationship between these two parties and also why he was the one being tasked with these duties. He also took the chance to do a little testing to see the attitude of these people from the Chain Ocean Palace and he gathered so interesting information from it. Seems this group might be one of the main reasons that Guan Zhenyan had chosen to hide with him rather than continue what he was doing.
Ive co to help out a mber of Chain Ocean Palace in need.
He needs you to pay his debts. Are you willing? Its alright if you cannot afford it. Ill get Chu Shuai to pay off his debt one way or another. You dont need to worry, we wont ruin the reputation of the Chain Ocean Palace or take his life. An upstanding mber of your palace should properly pay their own debts, correct?
