Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-1178

The young lady heard everything the attendants have to say. They don't have much to say to begin with. After all, they only knew of the presence of the recording crystals and didn't even know the contents, and immediately after getting their hands on them, the Inner disciple and the personal guards already made a move sneakily to chase after the people.

And all they found, in the end, are some buried corpses nearby and the headless corpse of the Inner disciple along with the bones of his pet at the gate of the town.

At this moment, the Young lady is holding the note that came along with the recording crystals.

She read the contents again and again. The killing intent being emitted from her body couldn't be undermined by the calm façade she is maintaining.

If not for the Elder shielding them these people would have been stuck to the ground just with the amount of killing intent she is emitting.

But even now, they are still nervous.

"You can leave now." The elder dismissed them.

The old man with a clean shaved face and a square jaw looked extremely handsome and majestic for his age. The young lady looked at him with a frown but didn't object.

After the attendants left with a bout of relief, the old man looked at her and said.

"This incident has nothing to do with the sect."

The young lady looked at him with a gaze that wanted to rip his insides out.

"How are you so sure? The note clearly suggests that they are a core disciple trying to stop him from promoting."

"I know it because I met with all the core disciples that very day. All of them are preparing for the upcoming trial from the Grand Elder. They don't have time to mess with your little boy toy.

In fact, they could care less about who you marry. All this while, they are only pissed at him because he is a mere ordinary disciple who came this far by hugging your legs and even wants to marry a core disciple.

They felt like their status as a core disciple has been sullied with how easily he fooled you and they cannot swallow it calmly.

So, they wanted to deal with him and be done with it, since dealing with you would come with more consequences from the sect.

But since you are so adamant and even went as far as using your influence and favors with the elders to promote him to the core disciple, they are disgusted by you more than him and didn't even want to deal with him using these techniques.

They already have a plan for that.

They would have killed him directly on the stage in the upcoming disciple exchange with a life and death duel.

They don't need to go as far."

The young lady fell silent. She doesn't know what to make of it. Her mind is clouded by anger and hatred, but that didn't make her completely stupid yet. She can at least understand the situation when someone explained it to her in such detail.

Seeing her being silent like that, the elder continued.

"I believe that this is the work of the Fiend Tribe. I heard that they recruited a bunch of mercenaries recently, approximately at the same time as us.

They want to destroy the businesses, resource points, personnel. They put a bounty on everything and everyone that is related to us.

Their system is more elaborate and flexible and even more rewarding than ours.

These mercenaries became bold with this. In fact, the tribe offered a position honorary member out just to deal with us.

I do not think this is their work. Anyway, there is no core disciple who is good at using wood elements like this and the guards are the best of the guard division they would have dealt with them as easily as flipping a hand…"

He went on and on and finally managed to convince the young lady that this is the work of the Fiend tribe.

When she was convinced, the elder finally heaved a sigh. He knew this girl since she was a child and he doesn't know when she became so muddleheaded.

All it took was a young man who barely had some cultivation talent and no talent in battle, beast breeding, or any other talent at all. He is good for nothing through and through.

He had to move mountains and rivers just to save her from the troubles that were created by that guy. Now that he is finally dead, he was relieved, to say the least, but the effort he needs to put in just to make sure that this woman doesn't go astray and start causing a ruckus in their own sect is too much. He felt exhausted a bit. But finally, he succeeded.

"I will put a word to my connections in the information wing. I will try to find the information on the people who did this. After we identify them, you can deal with them as you like. I will make sure that the sect wouldn't interfere no matter what and you can have full freedom to deal with them."

The young lady nodded and left the room. The Elder finally sighed in relief. He walked to the window and looked at the night sky.

Meanwhile, at the same time a few hundred miles away, Sam, Kumar and Noah are looking at the city that was under full lockdown through the surveillance.

After the trio caused a mess, the city was completely locked down. Many guards and mercenaries were sent out to search for the troublemakers.

In fact, while setting up the traps, they came across some but managed to escape before they were noticed.

Now that all the traps are done, they decided to make their move.

"We don't need to care about the mercenaries, we need to deal with the guards though. They could give us the contribution points."

"The problem is they, have too many beasts, that are suitable for this area," Noah said from the side.

Sam smiled and said.

"The guards all use the Mountain Hound. A beast that is small in size, flexible, and has decent lethality, particularly when they are in groups. But don't worry. I have ways to deal with them."

Sam said as he took out shadow mice.

Noah and Kumar are a bit surprised.

"Moutain hounds have earth elements and they can run through these creeks while attacking, shadow mice are dark elements and the creeks are not even trouble for them. Now that they have attacking capabilities as well, they are perfect for this."

As soon as he finished the shadow mice already disappeared.

As they ran away into the surroundings, their bodies glowed with a black light and soon the shadow armor surrounded them.

The three of them also moved in different directions following the shadow mice.

Sam arrived at the canyon. There are some creeks here that could lead people to the forest patch ahead. The guards are looking through these creeks, assuming that the trouble makers left through these paths, they felt like they are bound to leave some clues behind.

They already checked the main path for a long time, but they couldn't get any clues, so they are left with this.

He looked at a three-man team made of Late stage Pre-transcendent cultivators and the three mountain hounds.

A shadow mouse appeared near Sam. As soon as he gestured, it moved again and arrived at the feet of one of the mountain hounds. With a single jump, it cut the hound under its belly with a single straight cut and disappeared into the shadows.

*HOOOWWWWLLL*

The hound howled in pain and anger as it looked around. It sensed a weird smell, but it couldn't find it as the shadow mouse disappeared.

As it looked around aggressively while bleeding, the guard felt confused as he looked at the hound and tried to control it.

At this moment, the shadow mouse appeared once again and this time it stood on the head of another hound making it curious.

The first hound sensed its smell and came at it.

The guards also noticed the small dark figure, but couldn't make out what it is as it disappeared.

The shadow mouse then cut up the third hound which doesn't know what is happening.

As it dealt with hounds one after other and toyed with them, Sam appeared out of nowhere and snapped the neck of one of the guys with a single swift motion.

The other two were stunned immediately. They couldn't react fast enough though. Sam gave each of them a kick on their heads and they are down.

He looked at the shadow mouse and seeing that the three hounds are dead, he nodded his head in satisfaction. This is just the test for the shadow mice.

Now that they are doing good enough, it is time for him to go after big fish.
