Sam's words really came true.
Right after the incident with the sudden surge of his points, Sam saw the continuous growth of the points and knew that the vine is spreading beyond any of his expectations.
After the three Transcendent stage cultivators of the three races along with tens of the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators disappearing in thin air after the meeting, the higher-ups of the three races decided to investigate the situation with high importance.
The signs of battles between humans and the creatures are also increasing.
But what Sam doesn't know is that the three races linked the vines and the humans together and though it is their plan. Even though in a way it is the truth, the humans that are fighting with the creatures that openly with so many traces are naturally the rest of the players.
They don't have a cheating hack like Sam, so they could only compete with each other and they first decided to sweep the whole forest of dying before leaving and spreading further.
If they only killed the creatures and Sam didn't mess with the races with his vines they would have had an easier time, but due to this overlap of incidents they are getting the extra heat from the three races and one week after the incident, they could already feel the people of three races on their tails.
At first, the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators that came after them regret their decision as the players are not that easy to mess with.
Now, most of the Players are Level-3 Pre-transcendent and they could deal with some Middle-stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivators.
If they work in teams, then things would be even nastier for their opponents and they did make it nasty.
They got some extra points. But after a few battles, the three races couldn't take the loss and the vines are increasing the losses.
At least the first vines the vampires saw in the forests and the vines in the wooden shack are known vines. They know the locations, but they don't know the rest of them as the people are not returning and they couldn't estimate the location they disappeared at.
Soon, the heads didn't dare to send the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, they are only using the transcendent stage cultivators and even the Consummate stage cultivators are also making their move.
They searched for the location and they even managed to destroy some vines that have not matured yet.
At least they thought so.
The Players are the ones who suffered the second most in this chain of people that are fighting a war that Sam has started without them even knowing.
The chain consists of three batches of people. The first one is Sam and his friends, the second one consists of the players, the third one consists of the three races.
Sam who is the one that let the vines loose in this land was not known to be present by the three races and no one knows that vines are his own doing.
The three races think that the players are the ones who are damaging them and the vines are also their work and both parties are now clashing.
Because of the presence of the players, the third batch of this chain the three races are thinking that as long as they defeated the second batch they would get rid of the vines and wasting time as Sam let the vines propagate and made his plan thrive all the while his friends targeted the legacies that are left behind by the dead people.
He is one person in this chain that is most low-key, but he is the biggest variable that is changing and manipulating this war in an extremely relaxed manner.
Meanwhile, the players are the ones who have the least amount of information in this situation and they don't know why they are being targeted so much, there is no room for them to sit and talk about what is happening within three weeks after the Palace of inheritance is over the Consummate level cultivators are on their tail and they had to use their protective measures.
Some tried with their own trinkets before using the ones given by Hou Yi and a couple of players had to escape back to where they came from while some managed to escape the forest of dying and join the rest of the undead realm.
But the vines are also spreading past this place. Because all the pollen that makes the vines move away from this place is just some wind that could carry the pollen out.
By the end of the first month, the forest of dying is already occupied by the forest of dying.
It is about time, Sam made his own move.
And he decided the trigger to be one of his friends.
The one closest to that is actually Jack.
In the past month, he has shown one of the greatest results the undead realm has ever seen.
He made the whole valley with the largest sword storm that existed for centuries his home.
Everybody tens of swordsmen looked at him in awe as he spat blood and his body full of cuts. He didn't wear his special coat for this and let the sword storm rip him apart if his sword essence didn't manage to alleviate the sword storm.
He took the hits, he took the swords, but he didn't come back. Not even once.
They don't know what kept him going.
But on this day, he has gone the farthest in the valley. He was the nearest person to the sitting corpse inside and he is the only guy that could at least get a faint glimpse of that majestic silhouette that is right in front of him.
There is only a layer of the storm that is between both of them.
At this moment, Jack held his Black meteorite sword tightly as he stood straight. His right foot was in the middle of making a step as he could feel the pressure that is opposing him. His sword essence has surrounding him making him look like a living sword.
Sam couldn't help but feel his marvel as he looked at the massive improvement Jack has gone through. To be honest out of his three friends, Philip is most talented and Watt is kind of versatile with his growth while Jack is most rigid as he only practices sword and he is a bit one dimensional in his growth.
But he is also the person that works the hardest.
Since coming to this place, he is the one with massive improvements.
Even though Philip and Watt gained something they don't have that great of an improvement.
Now Jack is only a step away from what many of the people couldn't do for years.
At this moment, Sam is standing at the entrance of the valley as he looked at the surrounding people look at him with greedy eyes.
They don't have any reservations to hide their intentions. Their thoughts are quite simple, they would kidnap Sam and take him hostage then buy enough time to steal the sword from Jack.
Even if Jack is greedy and lets Sam go, all they need is some time to steal the sword.
But how can Sam not understand those greedy stares, but he is not at all offended. In fact, he is extremely excited.
There are many Pre-transcendent stage cultivators and few Transcendent stage cultivators. There are four transcendent cultivators and they lock each other out and they knew it, so the key lied in the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators that followed these four.
They will clash and they all locked eyes with each other.
Sam just cracked his fingers and waited and as soon as they made the move he did too.
He activated the partial fusion of light element and jumped at the two nearest guys and caught them by their throats.
He held them tightly and dashed into the sword storm which made everyone halt their footsteps.
Sam held both of those guys in his hands and turned around to look at them, he didn't stop his fusion and just increased his sword aura. He looked at the group of people that are standing at the entrance of the valley.
He gave a cocky smirk as they understood that he is not a vampire, he is a human after all.
He stepped back deeper into the valley in a relaxed manner as he tried his best to increase his sword essence.
He was surprised to find out that he has such a refined sword essence. But the two people he is holding are not exactly delighted about this.
They don't have enough sword essence to keep on going in with Sam.
Their bodies couldn't handle it.
Due to the intensity of the storm, they couldn't even shout or yell to express their pain.
They are bleeding their cold blood which doesn't have any form of warmth.
Their flesh is being shredded by the sword storm as Sam neared deeper into the valley.
Jack is currently taking that last step and as soon as he landed the foot, the last curtain was destroyed and he could see the silhouette clearly.
There is indeed a Middle-aged man sitting crosslegged and a sword in his hands standing as it leaned on his shoulders.
Sam started feeling the pressure and since the two people are dead in his hands, he threw their bodies away and concentrated on the walk, he couldn't enter the last region, he tried his best to close the distance with Jack and said.
"Just take the last step, I will deal with everything that comes. This is what you deserve."
