Chapter 51 Holy and Dark Factions

51  Holy and Dark Factions

" She... She was poisoned. "

Alice told Jay with a trembling voice, tears that were collected in her eyes, finally falling like two streams of water.

Jay was still confused for Alice to have such a strong reaction, what could possibly be the reason? Not pondering too much on the thought he spoke to her in a gentle voice.

" Haven't you called for any doctor, what about that old man? " Jay asked remembering the old man he have copied the divine medical art from.

" That old doctor have left our kingdom after he treated the poor people who were suffering from the plague, we called other doctors, but none of them could tell what was wrong with her. " Alice answered him.

" Take me to where she is. I'll save her no matter what. " hearing him Alice felt reassured, as a feeling of relief rose in her heart.

She brought Jay to one of the rooms, where Sophie was lying on the bed, unconscious. Jay observed Sophie silently, her face didn't look pale instead it looked more red than usual, and her breathing was ragged, seeing her appearance he concluded that she didn't have much longer before her body explodes.

" Wait for me outside. " Without looking back, Jay told Alice and Eleanor.

With worried expressions on their faces, both women walked out of the room.

*sigh*

Jay sighed, looking at the miserable sight of Sophie, he was angry and at the same time worried. Among the four women, Sophie has the lowest cultivation, being only at the 5th stage of Qi cultivation.

He took out the bottle of life potion from his storage ring and poured two drops into her mouth. He looks at her beautiful face and waited patiently for her to regain consciousness.

After more than two hours, Sophie slowly opens her eyes, and the first thing that came into her view was Jay, sitting beside her and looking at her affectionately.

A complex feeling rose in her heart when she didn't find Peter around her, she couldn't even feel his aura anywhere near her room.

She has loved him ever since she could remember, at first Peter promised Sophie to marry her when they become adults, but after seeing Alice just one time he lost interest in her completely. She still waited for Peter, but now even when she was about to die, he wasn't present. Finally, she realised Peter would never reciprocate her feelings.

She felt her heart shattering, all of the sadness she felt over the years welling up inside her, as the dam to her tears finally broke.

Jay got closer to her and took her into his embrace, placing a hand over the back of her head, and with the other hand rubbed her back. Sophie buried her face into his chest, feeling a little warmth in his arm she let go of her sorrow and cried her heart out.

Jay didn't interrupt her, but tightened his embrace, after crying for a dozen minutes she finally stopped, but still didn't let go of Jay.

" Don't worry, I'll never leave you, NEVER. You should rest for now, I'll bring some food for you later. " After whispering into Sophie's ears, Jay gently put her head onto the pillow and after kissing her on the forehead, he left the room.

Sophie closed her eyes, still thinking of Jay, feeling confused and also a little happy, for reasons she couldn't understand.

***

Jay finally came out of the room, and both Eleanor and Alice started their interrogation instantly.

" Is Sophie okay? " Eleanor

" She won't die, right? " Alice

" Yeah,  she is completely fine now and only needs a little rest. " Jay replied to their questions, before continuing:" Do you have any idea who could have possibly done that? "

At first, both heaved a sigh of relief, placing their hand on their bosoms. Then hearing his question, both took solemn expressions, Eleanor had no idea about the assailants.

Alice pondered for a moment, then she said uncertainly:

" It could either be the holy faction or dark faction, I think. They probably were targeting me, and she was just unlucky to get in between their schemes. "

" But why do you think it's them and why would they target you? " Jay asked a little confused.

" Both of them have been asking me to come to their cult, because of my high talent in cultivation and the special constitution of my body. They have been sending me letters, but I ignored them all, I think they did it so that I couldn't join the other faction. " Alice answered.

Her body has the constitution of an 'extreme phoenix heart', which was only seen in their world more than a few hundred centuries ago. Whoever performs dual cultivation with her will have great success in their cultivation.

So the Leaders of both holy and dark factions wanted to take Alice and perform dual cultivation with her, also the other reason was that they lusted after her beauty.

" Those old bastards. " Jay felt his anger rising at the thought of them even thinking about Alice.

" Alpha, Beta, Gamma. " Jay calls for the three assassins. Beta and Gamma were already present in the castle, while Alpha had returned from Albert's Kingdom after taking half of his kingdom's treasury.

" Yes, my master. " all the appeared out of his shadow, and kneeled in front of him.

" Bring all the elders and leaders from both the faction here and take everything from their treasury," he ordered Beta and Gamma, before handing them a few hundred storage rings.

Then Jay takes the storage rings back from Alpha, which were full of treasures from Albert's Kingdom. And gave Alpha new orders.

" Alpha, you head over to the martial academy, and kill these people. Also, take everything from their storage. " Then he sent images of a few elders the past king hated and the leader of the martial academy, Lincoln into Alpha's brain, before handing him more empty storage rings.

" " " Yes, master. " " " all three spoke before disappearing into shadows.

Jay took some light food and brought it to Sophie's room, while Alice and Eleanor went to attend to other matters. Sophie felt conflicted inside, albeit she didn't stop Jay from feeding her from his hands.

After feeding Sophie, Jay gave her a hug and a goodnight kiss on the cheek and then left her room to let her sleep. Though she still wasn't in love with Jay, but she liked the gentle way in which he treated her. She was now confused about her feelings towards him.

******

More than seven hours passed, and all three of them returned with a gap of a few minutes between their arrivals. All of them kneeled in front of Jay and pulls out the unconscious bodies of elders and leaders from the holy and dark faction out of their shadows.

It was a prison, built underground, Jay sat on a chair with more than thirty men lying in front of him. Jay first looks at Alpha and asks:

" Is your task complete? "

" Although Lincoln tried to flee before my arrival, I was able to kill all the members master ordered me to. " Alpha replies bowing his head and giving the storage rings.

" You did great, I shall reward you later. "

Hearing Jay's words, Alpha didn't reply and just bowed in respect. Then Jay asks Beta and Gamma:

" Do you two face any difficulties in your mission? "

" No master, they were all too weak, we just needed more time to travel, capturing them was the easier part. " Beta replies and Gamma nods his head in agreement.

" Alright, you three did great this time, go back and comprehend this technique. " Jay said before taking storage rings from both of them.

Then he directly transferred the Infernal steps technique into their brain. Although they use the shadow movement technique, but travelling a long distance would become easier for them with the help of infernal steps.

All three opened their eyes wide when all the info entered their brain, it was one of the highest movement techniques. They would require quite some time before they could comprehend it, but once they did, it would increase their strength greatly.

" Thank you, master. " all three shouted with excitement before returning to his shadow to learn the technique.

Jay smiled faintly, but the smile faded away faster than it came. He looks at the people lying in front of him who were now getting conscious.
