While Ivin is swinging his authority over the face of other Divine league's lackeys, Yuvana arrived in the city.
She didn't come openly though. She wore a disguise and hid her strength as much as she could before entering the city.
She went to a restaurant right outside of the sect headquarters to listen in on the gossip that is currently running around within the city. But the only thing she got that is even notable is that many new faces are showing up and some elders are receiving more and more guests.
Among those elders, Ivin's name is on top.
Yuvana made a mental note of all these people and decided to check them out. But before, he roamed around the city, checking if there are any people that she could recognize from the information she had.
But she couldn't find any, so she went to check up on these elders. She inquired here and there, particularly the thugs in the slums and got the info on who owns the what estate and got the locations.
She went to the estates one by one and after checking them all up, she obviously focused on Ivin's estate.
She waited a bit away from the estate and when the guards at the gate changed shifts and the previous one is going home, she caught him and held him captive in one of the houses in the slums nearby.
She put up a concealment formation that could hide the noises and screams before torturing some information out of the guard.
She learned about how many people are arriving at Ivin and what they looked like.
She looked through the prior information she had and matched some people based on the features the guard described. She killed the guard after confirming all she can and kept an eye on Ivin's house for the time being.
She noticed that the guests that arrived at Ivin's house are constantly moving back and forth. Even Ivin himself is actually on constant move.
He is talking with various people that belonged to the sect.
She also noticed the movements of various departments and sensed the tense atmosphere of war.
After one day of observation, she confirmed some things.
Ivin is acting as a bridge between the Star eye sect and other organizations. He is also gathering all of the forces from within the sect and also the forces that are coming from other organizations by himself.
He is clearly gathering these forces to attack the Gaja clan and the attack is going to happen very very soon.
She just needed to confirm what day it would be and picked a perfect target for that.
Ivin himself.
The morning of the second day, when Ivin came out of his estate and was on his way to the gathering point of the forces, Yuvana made a move.
Ivin who was walking on the road with a grin of zeal and excitement suddenly felt something hitting on his neck before he lost consciousness.
By the time he opened his eyes and came back to his senses, he is in a dark room that he has never seen before. Immobile and in pain. He looked around and panicked.
"Come out. Who is it that dared to do this to me? Do you even know who I am?"
"What is the point of bringing you here if I don't know who you are?"
Yuvana's voice came from behind him. He suddenly felt a sense of panic and shock grip his spine. He wanted to turn around and look at her. But he cannot.
He is almost paralyzed.
"So, Ivin. How is your newfound authority? Are you having fun controlling the people of so many organizations? How did a person of your status even achieve that?"
She asked as she came to the front.
"Yuvana?"
"Of course it is me. Now answer my question."
"How dare you come to Star eye sect's territory? Do you think you would be able to survive after doing this to me without your husband or brother-in-law? You have no idea, what you are doing by capturing me like this."
"I think I do have a faint idea. But for any of those cultivators that gathered here to do anything about this situation, they first need to have an idea that I am even here.
And from the looks of it, they weren't able to suspect my presence in the last two days. I don't think it is going to change that much."
"You know these people are gathered here and you still captured me? Are you mad?"
"You have no idea.
Now, let's do this the easy way. No matter what case it is, I will be killing you. But if you spill all the information I need, you would be able to sleep peacefully. But if you don't, you will be experiencing the worst torture that a cultivator can do to another.
So, you better be truthful."
"Hahahaha…. You are way too naïve if you think that I am going to tell you anything you need. But I know one thing though.
Tonight will be the start of the Gaja clan's extinction plan.
All the troops I gathered will trample your clan into nothing… AAHHHHHHHHHHH…"
He stopped midway and screamed as he couldn't take the sudden pain that shot up in his leg.
"Only answer what I ask of you. Don't say anything else.
How did you gather all of these people? What is the specific purpose of you doing this?"
"It is to destroy the Gaja clan."
"I know that, you idiot. But what is the specific benefit, that you get out of it. I don't believe that a core elder goes to such lengths just to safeguard the star eye sect.
Those kinds of things don't happen in your sect."
"I don't have any other goal. I am doing this because of the orders and I am very happy that I am able to do my part in your destruction."
"Whose orders?"
Ivin became silent once again and looked at her doubtfully. Yuvana continued.
"I know for a fact that the current sect leader, don't have any authority on you. You were not being subtle about it. The whole city is talking about.
If I am not wrong, you are taking orders from someone else. Who is that person?"
Ivin just sneered in response and didn't answer her question.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…."
Another leg was busted and Ivin screamed on top of his lungs.
"I am telling you. I am not really a pleasant person. You are going to be in a world of suffering if you don't answer me."
"Do your worst bitch. I can take it."
"Well, that does it."
"AHHHHHHHHH…"
The house reverberated with screams of agony and pain.
Yuvana didn't even have a change of expression as she hurt him continuously.
After three hours, finally, Ivin opened his mouth and spoke something useful.
"Alright. Stop it. I will tell you my plan."
"Now that is a good decision."
"I take orders from Divine league. Godfather is my direct superior."
"You are Divine league's spy? You are a fucking Late-stage Consummate cultivator of the astral plane? How is that even possible for you to be a spy of the divine league?"
"Because I chose to be one. I wanted to destroy the Star eye sect internally. The divine league is the only true subordinate of heavens and gods and the star eye sect that looks at heaven's secrets and reveals to the mortals shouldn't exist.
So, I took it upon myself to do this."
"Alright, you crazy bastard. Go on."
"I got orders from Godfather to gather all the forces possible and make an attack of the Gaja clan.
He doesn't want you guys to rest and lick your wounds. He doesn't want you to make a comeback."
"And?"
"I contacted all the spies in the other organizations and used all the information they had on various members to make them sign deals with Star eye sect.
Now, the star eye sect gathered all of these forces to attack the Gaja clan."
"So, you are leading this attack?"
"I was, but not anymore."
"True, you are going to die now. So, you can't."
"Not because of that, you bitch. It is because the attack has already started. The forces already moved."
Yuvana frowned and looked at him.
"You don't know this. But I already anticipated an attack of this sort. So, I set up a rule for all of my subordinate spies.
The forces should be moved immediately if they didn't receive my word for over an hour and a half. It has been three hours since I made contact with them. So, they must have already been on their way to the Gaja clan.
They must already be within the planet moving towards the city.
The worst part is, you cannot even go and give the information to the clan because the city is currently going to be under lockdown because of my disappearance and four cultivators of your level are going to stay back.
At this moment, as we speak, they are searching for you and me."
*BOOM*
