Black Ghosts are an organization that is extremely difficult to deal with. In fact, they might even be stronger than the Five Great sects. They are an organization, that specializes in information and mediation.
They cover a good portion of information within their peer organizations and the organizations that are lower than them.
And on top of it all, except for the leading members who were chosen from the different branches of the organization, the rest of them will have a cult-like mentality.
Except for the leadership candidates and the subordinates that the candidates themselves handpicked the rest of the members of the organization would be completely loyal to the organization and wouldn't interfere in the race.
After the race for the successor is over, they would have to follow the new leader no matter what.
Sam remembered all the information that he has on Black Ghosts and the reason he has it is not because he investigated it, rather it is most common information in the circles he is currently operating him.
He couldn't help but feel surprised about the fact that Markan is the successor of this organization.
"I am the successor and I even have the successor seal which I created by myself in the presence of twelve grand elders who enforce the rules of successor and leadership of the organization.
According to the rules, after I won, the rest of the candidates should revert back to their original positions without eyeing for the leadership. But they obviously didn't want to do as they were told and they banded together to deal with me, this is the result of that."
"Then, they could have killed you. Why are you still alive like this?"
Sam asked in confusion.
"I don't know that. But what I know is, once I unlock my elemental energies back, I would be able to prove my identity and the grand elders will take care of the rest. But from the looks of it…"
When Sam heard this, he shook his head and broke out into a smile.
"Don't worry. I am pretty sure I can cure you. But there is something I would like to ask."
Markan just stayed silent and let Sam continue.
"The Black Ghost Disc? How useful is it to your organization?"
Markan was stunned and looked at Sam in surprise.
"How do you know about that?"
"I was assigned by someone to get the Black Ghost Disc just like how I was assigned by someone to get the heirloom of the puppet organization.
There are six more people competing with me out of which Arkiv is one of the people I made an alliance with."
Markan looked at Sam for a moment and sighed.
"Not much actually."
When Sam heard this, his eyes brightened, and said.
"Can you give that to me, if I cure your problem?"
Markan thought for a moment and said.
"It really doesn't do anything for the organization. It is just a symbolic heirloom that was used by the founder of the Black ghosts. So, it is just there as a symbol of respect. But for me to give you that, I need to first take over the position.
And from what you said, if Vardar really did this to me, there might be a bigger conspiracy brewing behind the scenes."
Sam replied.
"Okay then. I will cure you and help you get your position back, then you have to give me the heirloom and help me deal with the Five Great sects and the Great Giant tribe. Even if you cannot involve yourself directly, I want you to help me with the information aspect."
Markan hesitated just for a moment before shaking Sam's hand.
Sam smiled and got ready to work. For the next few days, he stayed inside the second floor of the tower in divine dimension and he only came occasionally to take the blood samples from Markan.
After repeated attempts, Sam finally found a suitable method for dealing with these things. He has to give them an electric shock which makes the parasites a bit number before treating them with a light of a very low frequency.
It is even lower than ultraviolet light and it has to concentrate and dense.
But the problem then arose. Given enough vitality, the liquid blood can sustain both of these treatments, but the problem is that the body tissues cannot endure the torture that goes into this.
Even if he was unconscious the whole time, he would be having the worst time of his life and if Sam is a little bit unfocused, the meridian network and the bones will be fried permanently crippling Markan.
So, Sam has to think of another way and he thought of dialysis.
The process in which the blood is purified outside of the body and would be sent back inside.
And he proceeded to do so.
He started building a machine. But he cannot completely devote himself to doing that and has to come out once in a while as they are in the middle of the war.
For the past few days, Sam was not exactly making any moves against the city. He just observed the city and made preparations to give them a big surprise.
But meanwhile, the first young master and Arkiv are making big strides in the city.
The First young master started the 'research' and he assigned people to do only one thing, create an amplification formation that works with mobile nodes which are carried by the puppets.
So, the group of puppets act as formation nodes and create a portable amplification formation and they has to create at least ten formations like that while he personally made sure to make the diffusion process more effective.
Since the rest of the group didn't have much experience in the energy aspect and there is not much time regarding this, they didn't bother asking for more details.
By now the first young master managed to make a great impression on others and the attention-seeking lady is also mesmerized with him. Instead of her making him fall head over heels for her, she is falling more and more and this is enough to piss the second young master off.
But the second young master is suddenly not feeling that good to deal with the first young master at the moment. Because he was aware of the murders happening.
The first time he was aware of this is when the refugee area guards informed him about the prostitute lady.
"What do you mean she is dead?" That is the reaction he had when he heard that.
"Young master, she was killed with a single piercing on her neck. It was quick and it seemed like assassination and there are no traces of anyone left there and no signs of weapons. She doesn't have any family and only a few friends in the circle of whores, so we can cover that up if you want."
Guard said casually as he explained. Because in the guard's opinion this happened because the young master must have blurted out some things that the woman shouldn't have heard and she is dead because of that.
But the second young master didn't know what the hell is happening.
"Let me look into it first. I didn't order the hit at all. I want to confirm it with the subordinates."
After that, the guard of the refugee area left. Until then the death of the woman was hidden perfectly. After all, this is a ticket for profit for the guard captain there, so there is no way he would let it go just like that.
But when the guard is moving away and he was about to cross a secluded area, he felt a sense of threat, but before he could realize what is coming for him, a spiritual energy arrow pierced through his neck from the side killing him on the spot.
The area is devoid of any activity as it lies between the refugee area and the rest of the city. There is no activity there to be found. It is like a blind spot.
So, it took a long time for him to be found out and the person that found out about that is also part of the refugee area guards who were sent to go to the second young master as well as find out where the first guard is.
He took the dead body back to his leader and they were stunned. The death is similar to how the woman died in her room.
They don't know what to make of it.
Meanwhile, the second young master met with one of his close subordinates and asked about the situation, but the subordinate was sure that none of them had ordered the hit. So, they can only go to the next level subordinates under the hierarchy and try to find out what happened.
They called one of them and the second young master ordered.
"Gather all your peers and ask if any one of them has anything to do with the death of the woman and if no one is involved send someone to the guard captain of the refugee area and tell them that it has nothing to do with us."
