The news reached the Divine Formation Mountain.
Even though Muscle, Smith, Saint, and the rest of the subordinates have their own subordinates and organization of sorts, they don’t fall under the Divine formation mountain officially.
They are just there to make the original subordinates’ life easier.
So, the Divine Formation Mountain barely has any subordinates and out of them the top 6 are now useless.
Saint died, Smith can’t do anything anymore and the remaining four died on the same day in a massive trap after they exhausted each other.
This is the biggest blow the Divine Formation Mountain could have at any point of time. The three young masters who were in the middle of working on restoring Sivan, when they got the news and as soon as they did, they stopped everything they were working on and rushed to Muscle’s place to take a look at what happened.
“What the fuck really happened here?”
That is the first thought that popped into their minds when they saw the large flat land.
The land is so flat and the soil is so loose that anyone would have thought that someone is trying to farm something there. The soil is perfect for seeding.
The whole thing made everyone feel a bit disturbed and distraught. There are no answers for them to find. The place is cleared of all the spiritual energy explosion’s signs and traces. It appeared perfectly normal.
“Just how was he able to do this? To clear off a mansion full of servants and four people who are in late-stage of the Astral Plane Consummation stage. How is this even feasible. When he barely hit the peak of Astral Plane Transcendence.
This doesn’t make any sense.
Even for us, to achieve something like this, we need months if not years of preparations. How do we face him now?”
Brother Black said as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. The whole thing is a mess. They cannot possibly find any clues from this place, which led their investigation to a roadblock.
“Let’s go back.”
Brother Silver said in a gloomy tone.
“Are we not going to look for them?”
“No, we are going to go back and report this to the Master. We will let him deal with the investigation part, while we work on recovering Sivan. Let’s call in some of the Master’s favors. We will use them to repair his soul faster.
We cannot lag behind anymore.
If Master himself gets involved, we can obviously relax a bit about Sam. He will take care of it on his own. We need to get Sivan’s memories as soon as possible. If Sam had planned even more of his shitty schemes, then there might be a chance his next target might be Sivan.
So, let’s proceed with this plan and finish it up as fast as we can.”
Brother Silver explained and he didn’t even bother to hear their reply before taking out his transference token and leaving the place. Brother Gold and Brother Black exchange a glance and sighed before they left as well.
After they arrived at the Divine Formation Mountain, they went to the peak where their workspace and residences are. Within that large building, there is one room that is completely isolated from the rest.
They went to that room and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
An old but firm voice came from inside.
All three of them walked in and knelt down on the ground.
“Greetings Master.” All three of them greeted their master in unison.
Opposite to them, an old man sat on the ground. He had brown hair with a few grey strands here and there. The hair is long and a lot of it is placed like a large heap on the ground.
His upper body is bare. His body is lean, but not very muscular. He looked like a normal person who just didn’t move for ages.
He is dirty, a bit grimy and the whole place stank.
“What brings you here?”
He asked calmly.
Brother Silver looked at the other two before explaining the whole situation.
“So, you coveted the knowledge of someone else and tried to obtain it by stealing his prey. Now that certain someone is attacking our subordinates. Not just attacking he succeeded in killing five of our subordinates while crippling one.
You want me to call in favors to clean him up while you will steal the knowledge.
Is that the whole situation? Did I recite it properly?”
All three of them didn’t dare reply.
They just stayed with their heads down without even a sound.
“Fine, I don’t know what have seen in that guy’s knowledge that you crave it so much. But you already made a move and there is no taking back. I will punish you according to the rules, but before that, I need to save you first.
The only problem is Gail is involved in this shit.
We need to be careful.”
“Why does Master need to be careful of that person? I am sure you can handle him.”
Brother Black spoke.
“Idiot. You don’t know the height of the heavens and depths of hell. That man, Gail is someone you cannot even fathom. So, don’t go around throwing random claims about me being able to handle him.
The only reason he wasn’t able to reach me is because of my formations and the way I hid. But if you really piss him off and he risks it all, things will get really messy.
So, be careful from now on. Don’t go around provoking people that you have no business provoking.”
“You wouldn’t say this if you had seen what his knowledge holds master.
To perfect our legacy, I think that is what we lacked for so long. His thought process and innovative idea.”
“Perfecting my legacy? Who are you brat to do that? Just because you called me master, do you think you have a right to perfect my legacy?
Brat. Get lost.”
With that the three disciples left the room. The Mountain master also stood up as he started contacting people that can get these things done.
For the next few days, many people reached out to help Mountain master with the task of find out Sam’s location.
But all of their resukts ended up showing nothing.
Sam is nowhere to be seen anywhere in the grey circle for the whole time. Nobody knows where he is gone. Of course, he knows it and his friends know it as well.
“Why are you here again?”
Philip asked as he leisurely basked under the sun in the resort of Naga Loka.
“We are waiting. If my guess is not wrong, I am sure they will be searching for us all over the Grey circle. But we won’t be there. Let them search. Let them dig up as much information as they can. But it won’t be of no use. We will let them go dry for a while.”
“But won’t they hasten the progress of recovering Sivan? That will become a problem.”
“It is not going to be that much of a problem. If they are hastening it, then they are bound to make some mistakes. That’s how things work. So, let them make a mistake. I will fondly wait for it.”
“What if they didn’t make any mistake?”
“Then it’s fine. Anyway, since we already destroyed the key players of the organization, there is not much they can do in terms of the whole organization. They are temporarily crippled in a way.
So, we can just proceed with the original plan and deal with the mountain master and his disciples. Nothing will change by that much.”
“What you are saying makes sense? But what if things don’t along the way? Do you have any escape plans?”
“What else? Drag you into the divine dimension and then use spatial transference. That is all there is to it.”
“So, the good old escape. That’s fine.”
For the next few days, they waited there. They didn’t do anything. No hunting, no practicing, no cultivation. They just basked under the sun, surfed, and ate everything they wanted.
Meanwhile, grey circle was riddled with people who are looking for Sam’s whereabouts and the more he stayed on the down low, the more people got interested.
This also got them some ideas on how to make some efforts to attract and gain some money if they really need it.
But after these few days, Sam and the trio finally went back.
That is exactly the day the three young masters finally had some progress on healing Sivan’s soul.
And also that day, the people are so exhausted from the whole search regarding Sam that they didn’t look for him anymore.
Then Sam finally had some peace along with his friends even within the grey circle.
After that, was the time for investigation. Sam is waiting to know the results of what the young masters did with Sivan. But he cannot get any insights into the progress.
