Novel Full Chapter 1087 - Second Group
Sam was going through all the information that he gained.
He threw the tracker into the chessboard as he really didn't want to lose such a skilled person. So, he wasn't able to get much information about him. But still, from the other members on par with him, Sam got some information.
His technique is based on something called energy scent and it is only possible because of some constitution of the body. Even though spiritual energy will be purified when it goes into the body based on the cultivation level and technique, it will also be marked by the person. It is the cultivator's energy from that point onwards.
There will be something that is faintly similar to the scent when used. But that scent could not exactly be sensed normally. Only a special constitution like this could make it possible for someone to sense the scent of something like this.
Even though it is called scent it is more like distinguishing between different energies based on the user.
But the range of the sensing will be very small and that is the exact reason that the other party managed to find their location.
At first, he used a formation that would amplify his sense to catch all the possible energy scents and then he went back to his place trying to distinguish between all of them by comparing these scents with one he obtained in the rooms of the Black curtain inn, the rooms in which Sam and his team stayed.
Once he managed to identify them, he carefully followed the scent. Since he could only sense something within the range of two to three feet, he has to follow the exact path the person he is tracking has taken and he followed him through like this.
Sam is completely stunned with all the information, even though he has a brief understanding of the spiritual cores and constitutions because of the book he studied at the start of the journey, with how rarely he is coming across them, he didn't pay too much attention, so after he found out about this, he went back to that memory and tried his best to remember everything.
As for other information, it is something related to the organizational structure of the Black Curtain.
The Elites that came this time have more roles than just assassinations. They are not just the forces of the organization but they are part of the personal forces of the current leader they are targeting too.
These forces are nurtured by the leader himself and they carry out other operations like infiltration and assassinations for their leaders within the organization. After all with such a large organization up for grabs, there is bound to be some conflicts within them. There is no way that they wouldn't covet the position of being the sole leader of the organization at all.
So, he got some information about the conflicts between the leaders. One of the elites has actually just finished an infiltration mission. The current leader they are targeting is named leader 3 and he has some deep enmity with leader 1 who is also the fiercest competitor for being the leader of the organization, in fact, leader 1 makes most of the decisions and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that currently, he might even be the leader of the organization. He does and has everything a leader does except for the title.
His main opposition is the leader three, both of the competition in terms of forces, assassination assignments completion, success rate, income, and many other aspects.
And in this process, most of the time they resort to sabotaging each other.
This fellow was actually appointed in the leader 1's territory for a long time and managed successfully sabotage an operation that was worth at least fifteen billion spirit stones.
He not only made the enemy escape, but he made sure that the enemy escapes towards the leader 3 territories so that they can take over the task and finish it.
But with that, his cover was blown and he has to return to the leader 3 territories immediately, but right after he came, he was assigned to deal with Sam and he was killed here. Not only did he lose his life, but he also left a lot of valuable information with him.
Sam thought of something and took out a bunch of liquid energy cells and started placing them inside the dead bodies.
He then said to Gran and Sia.
"Go to the city at night and hang them at the city gate. Let us lure this leader 3 to us."
With that, the twins left with the bodies and Sam then focused on Kiran.
"I want you to go to the territory of the leader 1, pick Paras or Vidyut and go there separately.
Place a bounty on your partner, use the same technique we used here to deal with them, and collect the dead bodies. I need the bodies no matter what. Use your disguise technique properly.
Don't get caught. It will take a lot of time if you go by yourself, so I will drop you off and you start your operation tonight. You only have three days and you have to finish it properly."
After that, Sam took out something that looked similar to the flare gun and some of the transference scrolls. Along with them, he gave a bunch of small liquid energy cells, and three medium liquid energy cells, and finally some tokens that he could use to track them.
"Use them wisely, if push comes to shove, but one of the small energy cells inside the gun and shoot at the target, that will do the trick and use these scrolls to escape. Keep these tokens on you at all times, if something happens I could track you. If you don't come back in three days, I will come looking for you."
With that, he nodded and picked Vidyut.
Sam took both of them to their target destination with the dimensional drifter and came back immediately.
That night Sia and Gran knocked out some city guards and hung the bodies along with a translucent black cloth to the city gate.
When some of the patrol guards found out about this, they were stunned. They didn't expect something like this to have happened at this moment. The very next day the black curtain branch was destroyed, something like this to have happened is completely inconceivable to them.
But the administrators thought of a completely different matter, they are both afraid and curious of the organization or the person that dared to deal with the Black curtain in such a manner. The black curtain is a colossal organization after all.
Not many people can just piss them off like this and live to see another day.
While everyone is thinking about this and what would happen the next day, Sam is currently inside the Black curtain inn, setting up some small liquid energy cells and a few medium energy cells.
After setting them straight into the structure without leaving any traces he retreated back. They changed their hiding spot closer to the city.
The next day, the bodies were not touched and left at the city gate, even though the lord of the city is the ruler of the realm, he didn't have the guts to just touch these corpses he doesn't want to get entangled in the mess and left everything to the two parties to duke it out.
By now, he doesn't want to care whether the black curtain would be able to do something about this or if they would be tasting defeat time and again.
He doesn't want to care whether the party that is dealing with the black curtain is a friend or a foe or someone neutral he could befriend.
He silenced all the administrators and elders and completely stayed neutral.
Even when the new batch of people a dozen red-cloaked late transcendent cultivators came to investigate the issue, he didn't greet them and let them talk with a commander of his who is also a late-stage cultivator.
This time, the late-stage cultivators didn't act as a single group. They divided into groups of three and one of them went to pursue the route that the previous team took, one looked at the collapsed inn, one at the city gate, and the last one at the black curtain inn.
As soon as the three of them entered the Black Curtain Inn. Sam made the energy cells explode.
*BOOM*
One big explosion as all the cells exploded at the same time and that made the whole city stop what they are doing and looked at the spot.
Sam used fire elemental ones, so when the dust settled all they could see is a large crater and a pool of magma.
The rest of the teams that are in the vicinities of the city immediately ran there to check the situation, but they couldn't even see any trace of the people that went there.
After some futile tries and went to the city gate to get the bodies down.
