Chapter 848 Sentence given (25)
?”What do you think seniors?” Yang Qing used his palace sense to secretly communicate with Hou Dehui and Lei Weiyuan who were still in the courtroom.
“It’s your courtroom, Yang Qing. You should do whatever you feel is best as per your judgment..” answered Lei Weiyuan
Lei Weiyuan’s words weren’t all that surprising as it was more or less what he expected of him.
“I agree with Lei, it’s all on you, Yang Qing, though, based on what that merchant is offering, Xiafan would owe you one. All things considered, this information is bound to make her life moderately easier, seeing how she is the one at the front lines dealing with the group..” said Hou Dehui.
“Thank you for your input seniors..” said Yang Qing as he leaned back in his seat, his gaze falling on Song Ba who was on pins and needles awaiting Yang Qing’s judgment.
“Grim blood Scavengers, I can’t deny that is quite something to trade..” thought Yang Qing as his gaze fell on the close to one hundred droplets that were actively moving around the map.
Each one of those droplets was a potential member of the Grim blood scavengers. It was less likely for any of those droplets to be a high-ranking member of the organization considering they got marked by a technique done by an eleventh-stage core formation expert in Song Ba.
Someone in the palace realm would more than likely realize if someone did something to their soul no matter how minute the interference. While Song Ba had done something to the potions to more than likely hide them from the eyes of potential even someone in the palace realm, such means can only evade their eyes if those figures don’t consume the potion, if they did, they would surely be found out.
Song Ba’s actions were also another indicator that those droplets were unlikely to feature important figures of the organization. With his cautious nature and considering who he was dealing with, there were three reasons Yang Qing could think of that would make such a cautious person like him go through with it. One, it was a great card to hold, if successful, second, Song Ba was confident in his ability to do it undetected, and third which was the most important factor, Song Ba knew his audience well which informed the chances of discovery.
Had those potions been meant for important figures, there was no doubt in Yang Qing’s mind that Song Ba would have never dared to try and pull something with them.
The fact that those droplets could potentially be of low-ranking members was what made Yang Qing wrestle with the idea of agreeing to the trade. He could just reject it, and make use of the information, but that would be dealing in bad faith, which was something he would not do.
As deserving as Song Ba would be to the fate that awaited him, a deal was a deal, and Yang Qing had to be objective and fair about it. If he rejected the deal, he would have to give substantial reasons for it.
Having come to his decision, he sighed, as he gave the response.
“Do you have more recordings like the ones you have shown that show your dealings with the elders present?”
Song Ba who had been expecting a rejection, was thrown off slightly by Yang Qing’s question, which left him bewildered in thought and delayed in his response.
“Huh?”
“Do you have any visual recordings that pertain to the deals made with any of the elders present when it came to the pill slaves and human cauldrons business you had with them?” Yang Qing patiently asked again.
Though still confused, Song Ba answered,
“I do..”
“Then we have a deal, provide those recordings and the deal we had can be considered fulfilled..”
“Really?!” Song Ba agitatedly asked with excitement in his tone.
“Yes. I, in my capacity as the judge of this case, agree to the deal made between Song Ba and the court, having found the information traded to be sufficient..” announced Yang Qing.
He had no choice but to agree to the deal. Regardless of whether those shown on the map were important members of the Grim Blood Scavengers or not, Yang Qing had to accept the deal.
The Grim Blood Scavengers was just as infamous as the Dark Helminth Ghost Sect, or the Scarlet Blood Hands Syndicate, and in some aspects they could be considered even more dangerous than the two, not in terms of ability, but in terms of origin and members they accepted.
The Grim Blood Scavengers was entirely comprised of blood-
fiend cultivators and they dubbed themselves as the ‘ true inheritors of the Crimson Blood Tide Sect’.
Them claiming that title wasn’t anything new as it was a common occurrence among a lot of blood-fiend organizations who aimed to borrow the prestige of the Crimson Blood Tide to grow their renown, so they could gain more members and also establish their legitimacy amongst their circle.
The Crimson Blood Tide even destroyed, still held a lot of sway in the blood fiend community. It was the closest thing to having a holy land power they ever got which was why most blood-
fiend organizations that came after it, they all sang the same tune which was built on leveraging the prestige of the Crimson Blood Tide.
The Grim Blood Scavengers wasn’t any different, however, the reason Yang Qing agreed to the deal wasn’t because of their claim to be true inheritors of the Crimson Blood Tide, but rather how dangerous they were. Their history, though not long, was still long, having been around for almost 50,000 years, which is quite the feat for them considering all blood fiend cultivators were dubbed the number one enemy of the entire continent.
Their longevity was a cause for concern, however, the greatest concern was they had a domain expert leading them and about nine palace realm experts within their ranks, and that was what was known on the surface, who knew what they hid beneath.
They were active all over the continent, however over the past seven hundred years, their activity had been concentrated in Five Clovers Kingdom and the Red Maple Empire which was what prompted the Order to create a branch at the border between the two nations and even dispatch a domain expert as the branch chief.
Most assumed the Order had created the branch because both the Red Maple Empire and the Five Clovers Kingdom were backed by rank two powers, but it couldn’t be further from the truth.
