"Just say you don't want your friend to die an untimely death in my hands. Don't worry I will go easy on him if it comes to it." The Demon soul swordsman said as he took a sip.
"You got it all wrong Master. I don't want to be put in a place where I would need to plead my friend to go easy on you. And I am afraid, if he is really angered by you, I might not be able to bring myself to ask him such a favor even if you are my master and it would be my responsibility."
The Demon soul swordsman finally stopped in his tracks.
"Really? Is your friend that powerful? Why don't you tell me his name? I should have heard of him, what is his cultivation level?"
"His cultivation level would be in Astral Plane Pre-transcendence at most. As for his name, if you pay enough attention you will hear about him before your contract here ends.
A person who you never heard of, a person who doesn't have any significant background that you could find will suddenly appear in your information circle. He is the person that you definitely would think that doesn't belong in that circle as you hear it."
Demon soul swordsman nodded and just let it be, but he is thinking about Jack and his friend. He doesn't know Jack's background, they met coincidentally and Jack was not even that talented in terms of physique and constitution. No matter how he looked at it, he is just some normal human with an ordinary body, but his mind and soul are different.
He is trained, he was honed, everything Jack got was from pure hard work, he liked him and took him in.
As his disciple, there are definitely some perks and Jack obviously got them.
His cultivation level is currently higher than that of Sam, but Jack is sure that it wouldn't stay like that for long.
s
Sam's cultivation might be faster, but Jack knew more than the rest, while everyone was cultivating for one person, Sam's cultivation requirements equal ten people.
The beasts take up a lot of resources and Sam also had a habit of research and raising forces. Who knows how big of an army he is feeding on his own. He also got a faint understanding of the subordinates he had since there are several battle signs. If there are no distractions like these, who knows where Sam will be at the moment, he couldn't help but feel excited about meeting his friend.
While Jack was thinking and walking, suddenly his sword vibrated.
He gently caressed his handle.
"Don't worry. You will meet him soon."
He muttered to the sword and walked faster to his training grounds. When his master saw this he couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic of his youth and wanted to meet Sam even more.
Sam doesn't know that his friend managed to suppress the problem that would have come searching for him.
He is currently busy with the information regarding the next organization they are going to attack.
The Poison Church.
The name itself is different and so is the organization and the title of the organization and the god they pray to don't match at all.
Because these people are worshipping Indra.
As far as he knew, Indra doesn't have any followers who are a race or a faction that practice poison arts. At least the mythology he read didn't have information regarding this.
Sam never thought that a Hindu god will be served and worshipped in a church-like setting.
The rituals and all kinds of sacrifices for Indra and other Hindu gods are different, so a church is definitely not suitable for them.
But as soon as he got a look at the profile of the church, he understood immediately.
This church is something that does dirty work for Indra and this might be one of the organizations that deal with people at the Middle stage of Astral Plane Transcendence and below.
He looked through the rest of the organizations under Indra and there is one such organization at every level which doesn't usually fit the profile of a Hindu God.
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
The team went to investigate and came back with the report.
"Boss, I don't think we need to plan too much, we can finish it off directly. The church officials are extremely stupid and recently they planned and killed their strongest cultivator and the new person that replaced that position is only broke through to the middle stage of Astral Plane Transcendence recently.
I think night ghost can suck the soul out of that guy like pulp from a fruit. This is easy." Saber Monarch said as he gave the report.
Sam looked through the report and felt the same. The new leader who just broke through got greedy and wanted to deal with the old leader instantly, they plotted and kill the other person, and the people that supported that guy also died as well.
He really felt planning for them is too much.
There is no strength, no structure, and no proper organizational hierarchy in place. The whole church is nothing but a large gathering of maniacs who likes to torture others with poisons and experiments.
Their main source of income is actually doing dirty jobs for others. If Sam killed the whole sect, he is sure that the whole realm will be thankful for him for doing so.
Sam opened the wrist screen and selected the organization directly.
After doing that, he looked at the team and said.
"I want to do something before we proceed. I need you guys to be protected from the poison."
They were puzzled, but they could only proceed. Currently, they are renting a villa in a high class in, in the backyard, they all sat around Sam.
Sam sat down in the middle as he channeled water elemental energy. He is using Hydra's bloodline art.
Soon, a large water blob which looked a little different than normal came out of his mouth, and with his consciousness, it separated into many parts, each part took the form of a snake and zoomed towards the teammates, and slammed into their skin.
The water snakes were absorbed into their bodies.
They all opened their eyes and checked their bodies, but they couldn't find anything.
"This is a special technique. These things that stay within your body will help you absorb all kinds of toxins that might attack you.
Almost all kinds of poisons in the world would be absorbed by them. Even if the poison quantity exceeds the limit, you wouldn't instantly die, so you would still be saved as soon as you find me.
Be careful. The people who delve in poison arts don't care too much about means, all they care about is the end result."
After that the rest of the team was about to leave, Sam thought for a moment and said.
"Don't conceal your moments, let us just be open for now. I am getting tired of doing everything discreetly.
Send a message to the sect openly and directly, in fact, plant a plaque in front of the sect gate in the middle of the night.
Tell them where I am living. Let us end this as fast as we can.
Paras, this sect played some crucial role in the Jaman planet incident, so try not to kill the people of higher level, we need proper information from them as there is a great chance that these people know more than many of the organizations. If my guess is right, they would have already been notified by Indra to not let any words slip out and be on complete regarding the Jaman Planet incident.
So, don't let your tongue slip. The gods are not exactly some pushovers. There is a limit for how much I can push them and if you do something that pushed them too far, even the protection I have against them will not be able to save them from trouble.
We would need to face a lot of heat."
Paras nodded to show his understanding and left along with the rest of the team.
That midnight a large stone plaque appeared out of nowhere in front of the sect gates.
After guards informed the incident, the first to reach was not some elders or disciples.
It was a woman. A woman who wore some loose robes, will her hair all messy, her body weak and her eyes swollen from crying.
s
There are several bruises on her visible skin.
There are forceful bite marks near her neck and collar bone. She looked at the large plaque and memorized the address. Seeing that the guards were not there, she immediately ran out towards the slums.
She went to an abandoned house and tried her best to clean herself up, but she couldn't even control her spiritual energy properly and there are no resources whatsoever around her.
She didn't dare move out of the city or go to others.
She stole some clothes from a traveling merchant and tried her best to look a little presentable.
