Chapter 163 Everyone With Their Own Plans...
After which, Chiron whispered her True name inside her ear.
Chiron waved his hand, and a blanket appeared. Emma immediately used it to cover her body.
Chiron jumped out of the pit. She tried to follow him, but it was not so easy for her. She was not yet used to her new body.
Chiron turned to her and frowned, "It seems you are hungry," he smiled mischievously, "this is good! let's help you get dinner."
It is said that on that night, the Merchant, Bama and his entire male family members, servants and slaves mysteriously died.
The cause of death was unknown. However, a smile of bliss was plastered on their faces as eternal slumber welcomed them.
Many say it was other competing merchants that did it out of jealousy for the success of Bama. After all, a lot of his valuable herbs were also stolen.
Unfortunately, the clan still had its hands full with the devil invasion case.
And the draw of the Gathering of the sword clans hovered closely. Compared to these two, the death of a lowly merchant with his family that all died smiling was of no importance.
After a well deserved dinner, Chiron took Emma back home.
At the moment, She stood clothed before him.
//
Name= Emma
True=(...)
Rank= Lesser Demon
Level= Lvl 2
Skills= Seductress (kiss of death)
Persuader (spell)
Emma was of very low rank. And to top it all, she had little to No combat ability even though she was a demon. However, for Chiron, this was totally perfect.
After all, Chiron came from a world that had a rich history that was passed down and accessible to the masses.
He knew well that not all wars needed a fist to fight.
Also, many great men have died because of the kind of power Emma now possessed. Chiron knew that if he used this new weapon in his arsenal rightly, she could become a far more dangerous threat than Carla could cause on the battlefield.
After all, many men were afraid of the blade of the sword, but would intentionally dive into it for the sea lying in between a woman's legs.
Such was the nature of men.
The Gathering of the sword clans was close. For the time being, Chiron needed to finish setting his remaining plans for his exit from the clan. Also, he needed to provide a concrete plan for when the Holy church arrived.
He did not think they had given up on him. At least, they were not going to do so that easily.
After all, he had dreamt of this world and had lived through the MC's life. He knew this world so well that it nearly ran him mad in the former world.
He was aware that there was no way that the persistent holy church was not going to come for him.
In fact, it was even right to say that the holy church would have already gotten rid of the entire Chikitsa clan by now. However, due to certain reasons, as regards certain people, they could not do that.
Also, if they destroyed every clan that ever produced an evil child, then human beings would essentially have gone extinct by now.
"Emma, you will go back and continue working at the Lost Treasure. I believe that Elder Harden still has cultivators watching this house at night."
Chiron was right about this. It was also the reason why he used the shadow pool when leaving at night.
"Carla was kind enough to have taken care of Leongu for you. I want you to focus on some else this time around. Elder Fatso."
Emma nodded, "yes master!"
"Good! you should familiarize yourself with your skills properly. I want a constant update."
After this moment, Chiron essentially entered close-door cultivation.
...
Meanwhile, at around the same time, a particular meeting was ongoing.
This was a meeting between the heads of all the sword clans.
Due to the most recent unrest within the Chikitsa clan, this meeting was called. Of course, the topic was the devil invasion that had just occurred.
In total attendance, there were seven clans.
"Chief Dona, due to the recent crises that the Chikitsa clan just passed through, I suggest we move this years Gathering of the sword clans by at least a few years. Or better still, we should have it in another clan." One chief suggested.
The sword clans were known by the swords that their clans were founded on.
The Chikitsa clan was known as the Broadsword Clan.
The Chief that had just spoken, came from a clan known as the Scimitar Clan. He was called Chief Killian. He was also a Cultivator at the copper Realm.
However, he was at the middle stage of the copper realm. While Dona was at the high stage of the copper realm.
the higher one got on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it got to climb higher. Both of them might have only been separated by a stage within the same rank, but in truth, it was many years apart.
Once Killian spoke, some of the other clan heads nodded in agreement to his words.
Firstly, no one wanted to put their clan members in harm's way. And for all they knew, the Chikitsa clan was not currently safe.
The Chikitsa clan was a big and well prosperous clan. For it to have had a devil invasion and lose many lives, it only meant that these smaller clans would fair worse.
This was something that no Clan Chief wanted to have.
This thought had been on the minds of many of the clan chiefs. However, none of them wanted to talk first simply because of fear of getting on Dona's wrong side.
After all, Dona was chief to the strongest and most influential clan amongst the sword clans.
No one wanted to offend a clan with such wealth, medical expertise and even old-standing traditions.
However, Chief Killian's Scimitar Clan was strong enough to speak on this topic.
After all, the Scimitar clan has had one of the oldest relationships with the Chikitsa clan.
Dona wanted to refute, but there was nothing he could really say on the topic. He knew that these old men and women rather stay in their safe zones than risk their clan members.
However, the Chikitsa clan also protected these clans from other stronger invading clans such as the Dagger clan. He could use that to pressure them to pressure them.
For Dona, if not any year, the Gathering of the sword clans had to happen this year.
For his plans to work, the Gathering of the sword clans must occur this year and in the Chikitsa clan. If he could not sway this men and women with sweet words, then he was going to use force. After all, was that not the use of power?
However, before he could talk, some one else addressed the issue.
"Chief Killian, I can understand with what you are saying. However, you are not looking at the negative impact that this might have on the Union of the sword clans and what it would do to our standing enemies."
The person that had just spoken, was Chief Sancca. She was a proud woman and the Chief of the Sabre clan. She was also of the Copper realm and was in the high rank of the copper realm.
The Sabre clan was another clan that could compete with the Chikitsa clan for the post of head clan in the Union of Sword clans.
Although it had strong cultivators, it was not as large or as richly resourced as the Chikitsa clan.
Therefore, Chief Sancca could not be the head of the Union of sword clans.
Usually, she was always at log heads with Chief Dona. However, for some reason, she was currently in support with him today.
"The gathering of the sword clans is an event that every youngling within the clan looks forward to. It helps to sharpen their blades, and we have always held this event in a particular order. A clan hots it for two years before the next. This time around, it is supposed to be in the Chikitsa clan. This is something that even our enemies are aware of. If they see that we changed this as a result of the Devil invasion incident, it would mean that we are opening our asses to them that we are weak and vulnerable. Chief Killian, is this something you are willing to have?"
Saying this way made Chief Killian quite speechless. After all, this was true. No matter what happened, the Union of the sword clans must not show weakness.
The Cultivation world was not a kind place. Even clans could be exploited out of their resources.
After all, sticking together, was always better than living under another's thumb.
Everyone here knew that the Dagger clan was after the resources f the sword clans, but was afraid to invade again. Especially since the ast time nearly wiped half of them off the map.
This great feat, was actually thanks to the Chikitsa clan and its Tamashi weapon.
Chief Dona turned to Chief Sancca. He took a...
