Night Ghost finished the soul contract instantly and Five elemental King proceeded on explaining the plan while the first young master heard everything clearly.
When Five elemental King narrated the whole thing, the first young master gulped in disbelief.
"So, you understand what is going to happen next. You need to handle the elders of this organization." Five elemental king said to the first young master.
Sam looked at the city and asked.
"Why did they not come even after all this commotion?"
"They were ordered not to come. No matter what happens here, they will not come unless someone reaches and city and explains the situation to them." The first young master said from behind.
"Why?" Sam asked curiously.
"Actually this organization is divided internally. One part supports the second branch and the other supports the first branch. Nothing stays a secret in that organization and it is hard to find which member belongs to which faction.
So, the Branch leader used the special situation which also gave him a special authority to make them stay here.
From what I could guess, the first branch leader must have been forced to take the role of the attacker in your case because the problem started in your branch, so since he is taking the risk the first branch leader would have demanded absolute authority in the mission and made this external organization stay out of it."
"What is all the secrecy for? I thought your organization is beyond all this?"
"Yes, they don't want to devour each other, but there is another kind of competition. They like to be the ones that had the best branch. On top of that, you are also someone who was directly informed about by the gods themselves, so the branch leaders are really curious about you. So, the first branch leader wanted to know what is it that is so special about you, before the rest of the branch leaders."
"Such simple issue," Sam muttered to himself as he looked into the horizons while the rest of the team executed the plan.
After an hour, the First young master is running towards the city gates, followed by two more elders. They are injured and bleeding everywhere.
The young master's puppet is damaged severely, but it is still running beside him and supporting him occasionally.
There is a large hole in the middle of the puppet which had a large hole in middle and a human arm is hanging in that hole.
It was Dayus's hand.
The three of them and the puppet fell at the entrance of the city. When the guards noticed this, they immediately sent the word to the sect and brought them to the city guard post.
Soon, the sect members arrived and took them away to examine them. The young master is the only one alive and the two elders were dead. They looked at the arm that was in the hole of the puppet.
It looked like the arm was responsible for that hole, but in the process, it was severed and kept there.
They started treating the first young master and kept the arm as evidence.
They also sent people to check where the rest of the people are. They are already curious about the large-scale spatial energy explosion, but they couldn't investigate it because of the orders they got. But now they can do it without any issue.
But the investigation resulted in, one of their elders dying in the void opening apart from finding that the branch leader is dead.
By the time the investigation team returned the first young master woke up.
The leader of the sect came and asked.
"Young Master, what happened?"
First young master weakly sat up and took out something from his spatial ring and gave it to the sect leader. It is a recording crystal.
The leader looked through it and everyone in the room was shocked.
The video showed, Dayus, the first young master, and the elders along with his entourage all retreating after getting orders from the Branch leader.
But after they reached a certain area, somebody ambushed them and Dayus who is in the middle of the entourage started killing the First young master's subordinates.
Not a single face in the group of people belonged to Sam's group. They are all unfamiliar faces.
This is clearly, a well-planned ambush from Dayus and his group.
But the plan didn't succeed. Dayus lost an arm and a lot of members of their group died along with the entourage. He and a companion of his escaped in a desperate attempt.
When the sect leader looked at the young master, he finally spoke.
"Dayus has planned this for a long time. He belonged to a different group, but his goal is the same as Sam. It is just Sam's information came to use earlier, if Dayus would have continued with the plan his information would have also come.
But he cleverly managed to fool me into changing my focus and organization's focus towards Sam and hatched the plan.
Even the thing with the youngsters in the thunder phoenix valley was his doing.
He steered all the direction to this person named Sam and lured us here. His group killed the Branch leader and all the other elders. The first branch has fallen completely.
Except for a single enforcement team, the rest of them are all dead.
One-third of the puppet organization has fallen and I am the sinner who did all of this."
The first young master said in a gloomy tone. Anyone could see how gloomy he is.
Sect leader looked at the young master and said.
"I will immediately arrange for your travel back to the first branch and I will also inform the second and third branch leaders. Since Dayus escaped and was in that injured state, then he wouldn't make a move instantly.
We can have a safe time. I am sure the other branch leaders will find him and avenge him in the meantime."
That very night the first young master went through the wormhole and returned to the Capital of the first realm.
When he returned, he waited in his residence, and Kiran who is still disguised as Prash came along with Arkiv.
Sam left Arkiv here to keep an eye on the rest of the players and he is using the shadow mice and the surveillance equipment to keep an eye on the rest of the players.
Kumar and Noah are still in the open and passive. But the remaining players were nowhere near. But he still kept an eye out for them.
When the first young master looked at 'Prash' he felt a bit emotional.
Prash died completely unfairly. But he knew he cannot blame anyone. After all, he is the one who is solely responsible for all this mess.
He made an enemy out of someone foolishly because of his mad ambition which was easily taken advantage of by someone clever and sly.
This is a lesson for him.
Kiran stood by him and said.
"The remaining branch leaders will try to interrogate you and me, so stick to the story and I will do the same as well.
We don't really care if the puppet organization collapses or not. Our main goal is to get the remaining two parts of the furnace from the other two branches, so your task is to keep the attention of the organization members completely on Dayus and his companion that killed your first branch leader.
Try to slip in the involvement of the Outer deacon of the Five great sects who is a Night Demon.
Tell them the story of, how Dayus had a grudge against Sam and he wanted to share the riches of the Puppet Organization with that Outer deacon.
Don't slip any other unnecessary information. You understand everything?"
The first young master nodded. Kiran resumed his acting as Prash and Arkiv took the role of a servant in the residence so that both of them can observe the other branch leaders or elders that would be coming here.
Within a few hours later, the two branch leaders arrived.
They didn't even bother to go to the main building of the organization and directly went to the first young master's residence.
They asked about his condition and then proceeded to ask about the situation with Dayus and how the Branch leader died.
The first young master didn't give much of an explanation on the branch leader's death and just showed the video on how his team was attacked.
The video was shown from a perspective of a dying entourage member.
After watching the video and all the information that Dayus said along with the part regarding the involvement of the Night Demon Outer Deacon from the Five great sects, they became serious.
They felt like the situation is a lot grimmer than they already thought.
The Five Great sects are a lot stronger than the puppet organization and for them to have a hand in this, is something they didn't want to be real. But even though the first young master's explanation is vague, they couldn't help but think of the possibility.
