The elemental corrosion is something that even extremely high-level cultivators couldn’t resist that easily.

The grand elders that survived the explosion are not bound to survive for long. The pain caused by the corrosion would make them give it up in the middle. For that reason, the sect leaders immediately arranged some special formations and some fire and Ice elemental users to try and absorb the excess energy causing the corrosion in their bodies.

But due to the forceful mixture of these conflicting energies, there is little they can do.

"We need to go to the Palace of Divine.

There is no one else who could cure them now."

One of the Sect leaders said anxiously. The rest of the sect leaders agreed, but the problem is whether they could get the treatment at the Palace of Divine.

Everyone knows that the treatment is not cheap there, particularly when there are four Consummate level cultivators, it is almost impossible.

The sect leaders looked at the site of the explosion.

Even they barely managed to enter and retrieve the grand elders, they couldn’t really fathom being inside such an explosion and endure it. This also showed them that whatever the threat they are facing, it is not to be taken lightly. Now that they are weakened further and there is a huge dent in their finances because of the payment to Demon Soul.

The situation is getting worse and worse.

They don’t even know how to reach the moment.

After some time, the Fire Sect leader spoke.

"I will take them to the Palace of Divine. It is indeed expensive and I know we cannot be sure that they could get the treatment. But they are the grand elders we cannot just let them die like this. You four stay here and impose a curfew. No one should be moving outside in the inner city. Gather everyone in the sect grounds and defend it.

We need to fish out the person that set off these explosions, there is definitely a spy inside, so look for him."

With that, the sect leaders gritted their teeth and made their move. The fire sect leader left with some attendants to take the grand elders to the Palace of Divine, meanwhile, the other sect leaders are trying to minimize the damage that was currently done.

But what they don’t know is, there is no coming back from the current situation.

Many of their people are already assassinated in various places and the information about their weakening state has already been spread all over the place.

All their rival organizations are in the know of this matter.

In fact, some of the scouts sent by the other organizations are currently inside the Outer City and they knew of the explosion. They immediately carried the required information to their headquarters so that they could get a piece of the Five Great sects as they are getting ready to their downfall.

Meanwhile, the whole team gathered at the cave residence once again.

Even Paras, Vidyut and Tamas are here.

"We are at the final stages. From the information that was given by the Black Ghosts, there is one escape route for the Five Great sects which we do not know of. It is most likely in the wormholes that are within the estate. So, before they make their way there, we need to finish them off one by one.

But the problem is that we wouldn’t be able to defeat them normally. The Middle-stage Consummate stage cultivators are completely different from anyone we have ever faced. Their endurance is high and even the controlled explosion I created earlier wouldn’t be able to do kill them.

And with what happened, they would be extremely vigilant.

Only Night Ghost has the slightest chance of directly hurting them and we need to find a way to use that chance to kill them.

Currently, the sect leaders are split into different tasks, so before they realize how we are coming and what we are about to do, it is better for us to deal with as many of them as possible.

If things really go wrong we really couldn’t do anything to them, I have another plan, but this might attract a lot more attention than we want.

I will be preparing for the final steps in our plan while the rest of you, use the surveillance equipment to keep an eye on the inner city. See who is working on what and if possible continue with the assassinations.

None of the main members of the Five great sects should survive."

With that, Sam went into the cave residence while the rest of the team including his friends came out to camp.

Sam started creating a curse, a contagious curse once again, and this time, he has something else in mind. He needs to experiment a bit, but theoretically, it is possible and this is the only sure-fire method that could help them deal with these strong enemies.

Sam stayed inside the second floor of the divine dimension most of the time, the trio knew this and made sure that the other teammates doesn’t know about this. They took the job of messengers between the team and Sam.

After all, the team doesn’t know that Sam has this full-fledged divine dimension. Even though most of their partnership was based on the contract and Sam is sure that they wouldn’t betray him, he couldn’t just let someone know of this divine dimension, because once the decade is up and if they left and gave this information to someone else, he has too much at stake to lose.

His organization has become too big and spread across too many realms. One mistake and he would have a lot to pay.

So, he is careful about this matter.

In the next four days, the team only focused on killing the members of the Sect while keeping an eye on the inner city and along with that, they performed one particular task for Sam. That is collect the souls of the assassinated targets.

They were given to the three friends who went inside to give the souls to Sam who is inside the divine dimension.

When Sam finally came out with results, they gave him the report on the situation.

The Sect leaders called for everyone that belongs to the sect spread all over the realms. In the process of their return, the team managed to assassinate half of them at least, the remaining people all reached the sects, but they didn’t feel safe.

Since an explosion occurred in the grand hall which is supposed to be the safest place, they couldn’t feel safe even when they are in the sect leader’s residence.

And from the looks of it, the sect leaders are all not exactly staying together.

They are spread out as they made sure that all of them are not in one place together. They don’t want to give the other party a chance to bomb them like that.

And even when they are alone, they are using all their means to make sure that nothing suspicious is around them.

The shadow mice are also had to use the shadow transverse to get out of the inner city because of the strict measures that are being taken.

After going through the information, Sam focused his attention on one particular sect leader. He is in charge of maintaining the surveillance of the inner and outer cities so that he could find anyone suspicious.

He already managed to fish out quite a number of spies from the rival organization and some infiltrators in the outer city.

He is working great and he is meeting with all the other sect leaders to give the reports and collect the information from their side.

This is also to avoid another group explosion. They don’t know how anyone caused the first explosion, because anyone who saw that was dead.

Their speculation is that some suicide bombers caused this and they felt that the suicide bombers will act when they are all together.

So, they reduced the meeting to a minimum, and even when only two of them met, they made sure that no other person is within the surroundings.

For the method that Sam is about to use, this guy is perfect and their current cautiousness is the perfect scenario he could imagine.

He took out a dagger and gave it to the Night Ghost.

"This is something I made with the souls we collected from the victims of our assassinations. You have one shot to use this on the target.

You also need to maintain a specific timing when doing this. He should only be attacked on his way to meet another sect leader. Not before and definitely not after.

And no matter what happens, whatever the situation is, do not ever cut yourself with this dagger. If things even go a little wrong, even I would be unable to save you.

This thing is nasty and disgusting to the point even I feel that it is a bit immoral. So, be careful."
