“Never have we been shamed in this desert so I don’t want excuses but answers!” <Cobra>
Lord Cobra slammed his fist into the arm of his throne with the aura of a Core Formation realm cultivator flooded down on all the elders invited to this emergency meeting.
Compared to their previous meeting the number of bronze-scaled outer-elders had massively shrunk and even one of their inner-elders hadn’t intended. At currentthe {Life Jades} for all those elders hadn’t broken; the {Life Jade} being a piece of spiritual jade which contained a tiny bit of a cultivator's soul thus would break when that cultivator dies. There was no feasible way to preserve a jade without the host being alive which meant all those elders who he had entrusted to the Supreme Elder had betrayed his trust!
Even now he thought that sending so much power out for a mere serpent beast that they had plenty of knowledge dealing with. Regardless of that belief he had given the maxim face to the Supreme Elder in entrusting him to handle it as he would like. Yet here they were: dozens of elders seemingly vanished with no news after they made contact with their supposed target.
With such an outcome it wasn’t surprising that the notoriously unreasonable Lord Purple Cobra would be infuriated when even a better man would be. In front of his throne was the Supreme Elder who couldn’t help shivering due to the venomous weight of that aura stinging his skin as the mightiest cultivator in the {Central Cities} gazed down upon him. Still who was the Elder if not used to taming this powerful man so despite his unfavorable circumstances he wasn’t panicking in fright like other men may.
“Although it is true we certainly lost quite a bit I would argue that other than those from the Inner-Sect we lost nothing of grand importance. Of course, this is only my own conclusions based on the limited info we can gain without risking more losses. Still we learnt quite a bit if you don’t mind me sharing my beliefs?” <Supreme Elder>
The venomous leader's brow furrowed while his gaze sharpened as if trying to find any lie in what the Supreme Elder spoke; still he must have been satisfied since he waved his hand to allow the old man to speak once more.
“Though I cannot say much for the disciples - we all know elders would hardly vanish since we possess their {Life Jades} which would reveal their treachery if they attempted to fane death so this must mean they must be held prisoner. Not just that but the inner court elder I sent was able to get a message in before we lost all contact and from the sound of it, it would appear he was slowly losing his mind. This makes me think that maybe this beast we attempted to hunt either has the ability to control minds or has a servant who does - he did seem like he was talking about more than one person with mention of a ‘bug’.” <Supreme Elder>
“A bug which could control minds… We don’t have many parasites that I can think of so maybe it’s a special scorpion variant with venom with such effects? If that was the case it’s probable it’s working for the {Gold Dust Beast Clans} which certainly makes sense if it can cause such damage to us. It could also bring something like a [Mind Rotting Worm] from outside the desert while using their bodies to increase the numbers?” <Cobra>
Seeing his lord was already focused on this new information. Turning that sharp gaze away from the old elder while his aura reeled itself back in to allow the weaker members present to actually breath though many coughed up blood first. Knowing that this threat to his immediate way of living has been settled the Supreme Elder let out a long sign.
“You won’t be allowed to waste our new recruits on your parties until we reap the losses from this expedition though.” <Cobra>
Although he was certainly unwilling, the old man just offered a smile while nodding yet it appeared today's tribulations weren’t over yet for {The Purple Cobra Sect}.
“Now what is the progress of obtaining myself that lucious Liger.” <Cobra>
While saying that he chuckled softly while licking his lips with a nefarious grin; he had put a lot of effort into teaching that girl her place. In all honesty he was surprised she didn’t break down then accept after he made her sister an example by getting her addicted to narcotics while letting young mutts treat her as a toy.
Maybe the dumb girl didn’t fully understand it was meant as a threat - no matter how talented she was she was still a woman. Regardless he wasn’t impatient to bed her then take her city for his own to rule so he decided to slowly corner her by hiring people to cause all sorts of trouble in her city on a mass scale. No matter how prestigious it may have been, at one point the {Aqua Liger City} had become a den of crime which was impossible to solve.
After a while she’d realise she needs strength then will come back to beg for his help at which point he would treat that mouth to his lower snake.
The core-elder in charge hesitated before commenting.
“A mass purge of crime has started - our informants are too scared to even enter the city to gain accurate information. All we know is that one of our lackeys caused some trouble with a trio of {Female Executives} along with another jade haired beauty which resulted in them murdering him before they came into contact with the lord… After which the lord was quite… Different while the {Assura Yakuza} proceeded to forcibly clean up the streets in a brutal fashion with no attempts from Aqua Liger to stop them to say the least…” <Core-Elder>
“What…” <Cobra>
Although he wasn’t shouting it wasn’t hard to tell the sect master was absolutely livid beyond belief as he gazed down at the elder reporting to him. The elder didn’t continue though as he just nervously shook while bowing as if to ask for forgiveness. Everyone else didn’t even blame the poor messenger so silently offered their condolences.
