Chapter 1463 - Bain

Ten days passed.

Sam is standing on the wall of the clan estate as he looked at the city with a telescope in his hands.

It is one of the new things he made. Since he lost his body, he couldn't find a proper way to get the same visual ability he had.

The mutation of the Sky sovereign roc to his eyes made him eye-sight impeccable among his peers, now with the help of this telescope he can get the same.

Currently, he is looking at different spots of the city, observing certain people that are currently stationed to notify any changes that could happen at any moment.

Grivon walked towards him and asked.

"So, is your new toy working well? What is the point of using these things? Our eyesight will keep on improving with our cultivation anyway."

Sam just shrugged and gave the telescope to him.

Grivon looked through it and was surprised a bit.

"I don't know why, but looking through this tunnelled vision is a bit more interesting than I thought."

"Of course. It would be. Any new perception is refreshing. You will find how useful it can be after you use it more and more."

"Alright. Uncle Gail is asking for you, he is waiting for you at the guard post."

Sam nodded and jumped off the wall. He went to the guard post nearby where Gail is sitting and watching the clan estate.

"You wanted to speak to me?" Sam asked as soon as he entered.

Gail looked at Sam and gestured for him to sit down before speaking.

"How are you doing? Isn't staying with one arm uncomfortable."

"It is a bit. But I would rather wait for a proper mechanical limb, than settle for a mediocre one."

"Your wish. How are you feeling inside though? Are you hearing any voices? Did you feel like doing something that you wouldn't normally be doing?"

Sam shook his head and said.

"No, still no such reactions. I believe I am perfectly fine."

"I am sorry for asking you this every day, but I just want to be sure. That old man can do some funny business with just his words. Very few people escaped the after-effects of his words."

"So, are you going to tell me what this is all about? I mean, all you are doing is asking questions every day, you are not giving me any other info."

"Well, since you are alright, then it might not have any effect on you, so I might as well say it.

That old man is called Ghora. A very powerful person within the Grey circle and he lives within the Divine Graveyard. Very few people in this world can even be considered his peers. It has been decades since he last fought by himself.

His son Flit has been doing all of his dirty work.

He spends his time on the mountain meditating.

He is skilled in both space and dark elements. He can use weird soul techniques. The Inner Voice is one such technique. It messes with the hearts of the people.

Your mind would be set on an infinite loop of all the bad thoughts you have about yourself. Guilt, regret, anger, hatred, envy, lust, sadness, despair. All the negative things that you usually suppress, things you wish never happened and the things that you are desperately trying to forget.

The surface and run on a loop.

There are many incidents in which he just said a few words to some people and they killed themselves in the most self-destructive ways possible.

One of them went to his strongest enemy organization and battled to death attracting all of the enemies.

Another one went and fought with the lover of the woman he loved. He died a tragic death as all his attacks are suicidal since the opponent is strong.

He has done this many times and many people in the circle are even afraid to hold a conversation with him. He tried to do the same to you. I tried to interrupt it before it was finished, but I don't know if I was too late.

But since you are not seeing any changes in the past few days, it seems like you are doing fine. Your mentality is strong. Good."

"That answers some questions. But what is this about him taking his son away from you? Why is he not letting you guys fight it out?

I am not saying he could, but if Flit kills you, that would solve one of his problems doesn't it?"

"Yes, it does. But that is also something that I don't understand.

Every time, when Flit takes serious damage or he was about to break his energy limits, he would come out all of a sudden and take his son away.

Since he has expertise in space element, he was able to use the body impeccably well."

"I guess the world has all kinds of weird people."

"Yes.

Anyway, how is the situation outside?"

"About that, all the citizens are dragged into the estate. Everyone is safe. But are you sure that the Bain clan is going to attack us?

I mean, you said they would be here by yesterday, but there is not a single sign.

Anyway, why do you think they are pissed off enough to come and attack us?"

"Trust me, if these ten days didn't piss off Bain, then nothing in this world would piss them off ever again. That means they lost all of their emotions, ego, pride and everything that is related to it."

"What did you guys do exactly?"

"Ripped apart the Bain history.

The history of the Bain clan is filled with holes. Nobody believes it entirely because some truths came out about them to the world.

The Bain clan are originally bandits. The worst kind. They pillage, cities, occupy places and then take over everything. Eat out the resources there within decades and move to a new one.

They bring destruction everywhere they go and use women to reproduce more and more to increase the numbers.

But they never got too big, because every battle they lose a lot of people. They are more barbaric than the barbarians and they don't have any dominating bloodline within them.

A century or so ago, they buried this past or at least they tried to established their clan when their leader got close to Peak of Astral Plane Consummation.

But some of their rivals just went on collecting some information from the past to present in their territory destroying their faith.

So, they are extremely sensitive. They cannot afford anyone destroying their reputation at the moment."

"And you guys just destroyed that?"

"Yes, I found every single thing that guy did along with all the evidence that is needed and made sure it was heard by everyone from a child to the old man on the death bed.

The faith of the Bain clan is completely destroyed and I even went as far as to leave the name of the Gaja clan.

For some reason, this also served as a warning to the rest of the clans in a weird way.

They are all afraid of the information that I might hold against them. After all, none of these places is clean.

They are also waiting to see how the Bain clan would do against us to gauge the strength.

There is a chance that the Bain clan is trying to gain help from other clans though. That is why they are being late."

"That makes sense."

"Tell, me though. How important is faith for you guys? I mean, I know it helps you breakthrough to the next plane of cultivation, but if I am guessing it right, the gods are getting most of the faith from the people even with those clans, how does this help the clan and organization members."

"Since you mostly dealt with lower-level organizations, you might not have seen this anywhere. But there is a very intricate mechanism to distribute faith.

As you said even in the clans like ours, most of it goes to the gods.

The only exception is the Gaja clan. We don't usually worship the gods here. We faced a lot of backlash for that. In fact, most of the wars that are waged on the Gaja clan are because of that.

The Divine league that operates as the envoys and lackeys for the gods are also keeping a tight watch over us because of this…"

As he was explaining suddenly a guard barged in.

"Sir, the Bain clan is here. They brought all of their force to the edge of the city.

The leader of the clan is about to shout an announcement out loud."

By the time he finished the report, they already heard some noise.

"BAIN CLAN. THIS IS A PROVOCATION TO THE GAJA CLAN. NOT ONLY DID YOU CONSPIRE AGAINST US, NOW YOU ARE INVADING OUR CITY WHEN WE ANNOUNCED A LOCKDOWN."

"YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE SENDING PEOPLE TO SMEAR OUR REPUTATION WITH FALSE ACCUSATIONS.. TODAY, GAJA CLAN SHALL BECOME EXTINCT."
