Chapter 1301 - Star Eye Sect

Disciple One didn't know what to say for Butler Si's words. He is a bit ashamed by the failure he had to face and he is a bit conflicted about the fact they might have to face it again. 

As his master said, Sam killed one of his juniors, one was injured moderately and three more were almost died and barely stayed alive.

He did all of this without even meeting three of them. When he thought of how they are going to face him again, he couldn't help but feel stumped.

"Master, how should we proceed further?" He directly asked without any shame. He knew better than to proceed in this matter with some blind attachment to his pride and honor.

"I told you to think of him as a smart person. Smarter than me. But you just left Ten, track him down alone. Do you really think he didn't anticipate any moves from this side? He might even be waiting for you guys to come at him.

Until now, we at least had a lead on him, because we knew exactly where he is going to be. But now, he finished up at this end. We need to wait for him to start at another one.

Young master has twelve main subordinates that mostly provide him with income and resources and some select few foot soldiers.

Each of the twelve organizations provides us with direct influence in over twenty realms, but they have their own extensive subordinate organization which is currently being targeted by Sam.

He finished two of them. Except for the main branches, none of them have any resources and subordinates left. Their competitors are raving and taking them down. That is one-sixth of young master's resources gone now.

Anyway, now we have to see which of the other ten he is going to target.

We wouldn't be able to guess for sure. But we can try.

Wait till Disciple Three recovers, and from now on an act together. None of you are going to go move against him alone and that includes you too."

"I am an Astral Plane Consummate stage cultivator. I might just be at the initial stage, but I think I can handle a cultivator of Astral Plane Transcendence."

"When I say, you cannot. You cannot. Have you ever seen me warning you about anyone? You have killed a cultivator stronger than you and I know what you are capable of more than you do. So heed my warnings.

I will send someone to the ten organizations so that they could inform us at the first notice.

After I narrow down, where he is, I will try to use my connections to predict is plausible future location. Until then, focus on preparations. Create formation discs. The more the better. Try to think of ways to use every ability you have to capture him.

Use the other subordinates we have if you want, but I need results.

Do you understand?"

"Yes, Master."

"Now, go back to your brothers. Make sure they understand the gravity of this situation."

Disciple One waited for Disciple Three to recover his hand completely and after a few hours, they left.

The disciples went back to their original residence and didn't stay on the other planets for now. As their master suggested they focused on making preparations to deal with Sam.

Meanwhile, Butler Si became busy. As he said to Disciple One, he immediately sent some of his subordinates to different realms under their control along with their teams so that they will inform him of any presence of Sam.

While they are waiting there, he decided to try and find Sam in another way. He went to Sivan to talk about that matter.

"Young Master, I need your help with something related to Sam."

Sivan frowned as soon as he heard this. This is completely unlike Butler Si after all, for him to ask for help directly means, that the situation is a lot more troublesome than he had anticipated.

"What happened Butler Si? Is everything okay?"

"It is just my disciples were being stupid and they tried to engage Sam one on one. They didn't heed my words and acted recklessly."

"Oh? So, what do you want me to do?"

"I am going to the Star-Eye Sect to get a possible lead on Sam. But as you know, we need something that has Sam's soul presence."

Sivan nodded in understanding and after some thought, he gave the feather coat away.

"This one has a spirit, but it is contracted with Sam, so I think you can use that."

Butler Si took the coat and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Young Master. I will return it as soon as I can."

With that Butler, Si took the coat and left the planet, but before he left, he met with one of the elders of the clan and said.

"I will be gone for two days, I want you to take care of the Young master until then."

"Take care? I don't want to be his babysitter."

The elder is sitting in his room in the darkness as he chugged one jar of liquor after another. 

"I don't need you to directly take care of him, I just need you to protect him if someone tries something. My subordinates will take care of his daily needs."

"Butler Si, our clan cares deeply about our family. Why are you so afraid we would attack one of our own in the estate?"

His voice contained a tinge of sarcasm and a lot of melancholy, but Butler Si just rolled his eyes and left the room even though the other party didn't show any admittance to the role.

He knew that young master would be taken care of anyway.

He went to the Star-Eye sect that day itself.

The star eye sect is a sect of seers. They try to predict the future and most of the time they are right. But they don't look into it often and they don't look for too many details.

This is an organization on par with Sivan's clan, but these people are more respected and since they do not infringe on the benefits of others, for the most part, they are more on the neutral side in the power balance between the realms.

When Butler Si arrived, he wasn't stopped at the gate for any verification, in fact, all the members of the sect are greeting him politely. He directly went to one of the large mansions in the estate, where a lot of powerful cultivators are lining up.

One of the core disciples of the sect is acting as an attendant to maintain order in the lines. When he saw the Butler Si coming, he immediately ran towards him and bowed deeply.

"Sir Si, I didn't know you were coming."

"I didn't know it either, Kid. It was spontaneous."

"Please follow me, Master is currently in the middle of his painting practice. I will take you to him."

Butler Si nodded and they walked inside the mansion.

The rest of the powerful cultivators are a bit disgruntled. Some of them knew of Butler Si and some of them merely heard of him, they knew how powerful he is, but in their opinion, he is still just a butler. After all, that is his chosen profession.

Since they have more respectable positions, they decided to ignore his strength, influence, and power which truly matter, and started bitching and moaning about the so-called professional superiority.

Butler Si was led deep into the mansion and there a middle-aged sat with his eyes closed while holding a paintbrush as he painted something on a canvas.

He sensed Butler Si's presence and immediately stopped the painting.

He stood up and bowed to Butler Si with respect.

"What brought you here Sir Si?"

Butler Si took out the feather coat and gave it to the middle-aged man.

He held it carefully and he had an astonished expression on his face.

"Butler Si, these feathers…"

"Don't ask the questions that you shouldn't ask."

"I apologize."

"The coat has a spirit and it has a contract with a soul. I want to know the plausible future location of the person who made the contract."

"How accurate do you want the location to be?"

"As long as the realm location is accurate and the error doesn't exceed two or three planets, I am good."

"Please wait for a few minutes."

With that, the middle-aged man walked into the adjacent room which has a large formation laid out with inscriptions.

He sat in the middle of the formation and placed the coat in front of him. It started levitating and the middle-aged closed his eyes as he channeled his energy into the formation while chanting something randomly.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. His pupils shrunk and he started shivering as if something horrifying is looking back at him.

After a few moments, he closed his eyes and started panting.

He came out of the room to inform Butler Si.

"The most possible location is the Blue Planet in the Eighteen Star Realm. It would be in five to eight days."

"Thank you very much.. But I would like to ask you to impose you to remember the soul signature of this person, I might come back."
