Chapter 462: War between top dogs

After the pills are fed, the officials slowly became sober and their senses came back to them. Then only they understood what happened to their bodies. They started having cold sweats. This is not something they experienced before and they sure as hell don't want to experience this again.

Then they remembered to owners of the wine tavern and felt a faint shudder in their hearts. This time, the Usaine sect is screwed. That is the only thought in their mind.

They understood that from now on their life is sealed. There is nothing they can do about it but go with the flow.

Slowly, the officials started coming back to the duties and they didn't complain about the wine anymore. In fact, they decided to quit drinking.

The wine tavern still went on running just like that. And everybody still talked about it just like before.

By the end of the ninth month, the officials almost caught up with their duties and the empire seemed to have to come to a normal state.

But everyone in the Usaine sect is completely frustrated. They are not leaving from the sect and this made them frustrated. Half of them were already outside before and came to the sect running for their lives. They almost gave a kiss to death god many times on their way.

They don't know the exact reason for their predicament, but they do know that it has something to do with the Parks and they are cursing the guy who caused it.

As the situation is already worse as it is, there is something that made the Usaine sect vigilant and that is the parks blasted one after the other

All the parks that are activated are around the Imperial capital and all those activated parks are now in complete ruins. Not even a single structure was saved and everything either broke or turned into powder.

Even the other major powers felt that something definitely wrong with this. Usaine sect head and the three associations lost a significant amount of resources, but at least Usaine sect got some breathing space because of this incident.

Usaine sect head took the chance and held a meeting with the rest of them except for the three associations.

"I don't why you are so sure that I have the method. But as you have seen all the parks that are activated are exploded by now.

You guys, really think that I would explode the parks than sharing the method with you? Particularly, when all of you are breathing down my necks, do you think I would just let the sect go to this stage, just for the parks? Don't you think that is inconceivable?"

The Usaine sect head didn't stop there and started overwhelming the six major powers with all the questions and finally, he managed to convince them that it is not his greed and the parks are indeed a conspiracy.

"I will let bygones be bygones. From now on, we have no enmity between us."

He finally made this statement with a lot of reluctance in his heart.

I mean, who would take this lying down?

They just ganged up on him without giving him a chance and even nonsensically believing in their own speculation.

But he has to let go because he doesn't have the strength to battle all six of them.

All the major power heads are still a bit suspicious. Looking at this, the Usaine sect head became extremely angry and said.

"I would take the Judgement test." He said this with gritted teeth. The other heads are stunned, they didn't expect that he would take this decision. The test which already happened once and the formation is still intact in their meeting place, so it is not too bothersome to take the test.

The thing is, they are contemplating if they should let him take the test or not. Because, they knew that if he really took the test, then there is no turning back.

He would definitely take revenge in one way or another.

"No need." Old thunder said at this moment. He could see that Usaine sect head is truly pissed at this moment.

The rest of them also started rejecting him. the sect head stood up and said before leaving.

"I am waging a war on the Three associations; I hope you wouldn't interfere. Then, we will really have all of the bygones be bygones"

Nobody said anything. It is understandable that the Usaine sect head is pissed off at the current situation.

The three associations completely pushed the Usaine sect into the firing range of the major powers and they took the back seat when the major powers are dealing with the disciples and the elders who are outside the sect.

There is no way the Usaine sect head will let go.

Anyway, they do believed that if they did interfere, a world war would be triggered. Because, even though they are on the same page in the current situation, once the war began, they would remember they are pathetic humans even with that high cultivation, their greed and lust towards their own goals will act up and the results would be disastrous.

Anyway, they wouldn't be at a complete loss, even one of them is completely eradicated, the remaining party would establish the new associations.

There is no need for them to worry at the moment. All they have to do is keep the associations they have for themselves.

Soon, the news about the Usaine sect getting ready to wage a war against the three associations caused some uproar in the core disciples and even the minor powers of the central continent.

When Arman brought this news to Sam, even he was shocked. He clearly thought that the situation will play out exactly like this. The Usiane sect will absolve the blame but will still have some suspicions attached to them.

That is what he thought, but from the looks of it, the Usaine sect head seemed to have gone crazy from all the pressure they received.

But this change didn't make Sam disappointed, in fact, he is too happy that he couldn't take a grin off of his face,

Because this is going to be a recruitment drive for him. He has an excellent plan at this moment.

But before that, he has to deal with another matter at hand.

He is in an underground secret room in the city. There a human silhouette is sitting on a chair with his body all charred black. There is no single inch of his skin that is devoid of damage.

His hair is completely gone and blood is slowly oozing out of the cracks of his skin. He is barely alive. In fact, he is a living example of the term barely alive.

This is none other than Adrian emperor. The person who was supposed to die in Arc's hands.

In fact, in the eyes of the world, he is really dead. He was killed by an arc in a single blow and his body fell into the ocean and buried underwater.

This is all Sam's plan. He wanted to fool the world by making the scene play out like that. He wants this guy. Right now, Sam has everything with him. Quality troops, weapons, resources to groom them, and even young talent. But the only thing he doesn't have are the powerhouses.

He doesn't have anyone besides Arc who is a transcendent level being.

He needs them badly. Because once the direct conflict blows out there should be someone who could offer deterrence to the powerhouses of the major powers.

He doesn't want to use the help of the Raijin tribe at this moment. It should be kept a secret. As he was moving towards the upper realm, he has to be more careful with the beasts under him.

Only at the top of the upper realms, do the people feel normal about the existence of his beasts, even they would be surprised of him having a contract with them.

But in lower realms, there is no way they would let this go. In fact, he would attract more heat than in his current realm. Because the people here wouldn't know anything about the true value of the beasts.

Why is he hesitant about using them in his current realm? That is because the information will spread fast. There is a high chance the rest of the players will recognize his true identity.

And the words will spread faster and the speculations will lead to some serious consequences for him.

At this moment, Sam is trying to avoid that.

He is talking to the charred figure in front of him.

"So, what do you say? I will give you a new chance at your life and even a chance to break through to the Consummate realm. But you will have to work for me."

"How can I believe you?" Adrian Emperor asked in a husky voice.

"Didn't you see Arc? Do you think he became this strong all on his own? If you agree, all you would have to do is change your appearance and stay low for the next two years, after that you will still be a subordinate but will be crowned on Adrian back and rule it in my stead.

You wouldn't have any real interference except for the tax and resources you have to pay. It would be just like how you lived with thunder god temple."
