Chapter 348: Smuggling Sam
Arc wanted to find Sam's location through the officials from the Seer tower, but before he could reach them, Ye Ting approached him and whispered something in his ear and both of them went to a silent corner to discuss.
"Are you sure? Sam and his friends are with you?" Arc asked with anticipation.
"Yes, Philip asked me to speak to you about this. Sam is injured and it would take approximately two months for him to heal. He is still unconscious.
The remaining three are all okay and they want to leave for the western continent as soon as possible.
Currently, we moved to my island and they are staying there pretty safe. But it is still dangerous if you let them stay there as the Usaine sect has eyes on the island. We don't know if the beast faction has any bounty on his head, but you can trust the sect."
"I know, but what kind of situation can we create, we cannot directly access Space gates within the Sect and the only way for us to use them is by approval of the core members of the sect otherwise, there is no way for us to get them here."
They discussed for some more and tried to think of some ideas to send the trio and Sam away to the Western Continent.
But there is no practical feasibility, for everything they have to find a way to bypass the people from the Usaine sect, they could still manage the thunder god temple as Sam is still considered a part of the thunder god temple, at least in the name.
They parted ways temporarily as the meeting commenced again.
In this break, the heads of the six major power are the only ones who didn't move from their positions.
They just kept on talking and in middle, the formation association head joined them as they asked him.
Now, they seemed to have figured out a way for them to deal with the situation of finding the mole.
"There are some results in our discussion and all the six major powers came to a decision on how to find a mole.
There is an ancient formation called the Judgement formation and it needs one formation master at the Consummate realm, three formation masters at Transcendent realm, and two inscription masters at Transcendent realm.
The formation association head Old four will take the position of the Consummate realm formation master and the rest of the formation masters and the inscription master will be picked randomly from all six major powers and the minor powers.
In this judgment formation, everyone that is present here and every other official of every organization, if he is a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator, he will be completely questioned and the formation spirit will judge the person.
All the people who fit in the criterion of inspection should be here.
For the formation, the following materials are required and all of us will be pitching them in."
This time, it is the head of the Usiane sect who took the lead and they distributed the list of the ingredients to everyone.
After three minutes of silence, some raised a question.
"Some of these materials are only available in the nations which are currently occupied by the church, how can we deal with them?"
This caused everyone to halt in their thought process.
But someone else's brain is working at full speed. Arc got an idea as soon as he heard the question and he quietly scooted towards Ye Ting.
They whispered something and soon it was time for everyone to reveal what kind of materials they have in their possession and sharing the responsibility on who should bring what materials.
When it came to Ye Ting and Arc's turn they already said what they can provide and everyone was surprised to see that Ye Ting has some important herbs. They thought that he doesn't have any herbs with him as he just shifted to the new island, but it seems like he prepared beforehand and grew some herbs on the island.
With all the tasks distributed, they left the place in their own ways.
What they don't know is that the meeting of the Church's three main high priests is also over and they are quite busy preparing to attack the minor powers.
The heads of the major powers, decided to hold the next meeting two days later in the same place, while they transfer the necessary ingredients through the space gate in these two days.
As everyone is moving in a hurry, Arc is preparing two large black boxes which are large enough for two people of his size to sleep.
Apart from that, he prepared another set of the same boxes, but this time, they are loaded with some kinds of herbs.
Some herbs cannot be stored within a spatial ring and have to be kept in this type of box.
For the next day, many attendants with herbs from the western continent and all the Pre-transcendent cultivators moved to the thunder god temple, with Arc supervising them carefully.
He constantly kept on the four big boxes by his side though.
On the Usaine sect's side, a similar thing is happening and Ye Ting has brought two boxes that looked extremely similar.
All the goods are to transported to the meeting spot that night and only some attendants are running around the Space gates to bring some freshly picked herbs and stuff.
That night, the preparations for the formation are going on full swing and the herbs are being ground to ink in that very place by creating a suitable environment artificially.
Arc unknowingly became one of the attendants of the thunder god temple, meanwhile the same thing happened with Ye Ting on the other side.
The heads didn't think much and thought that this is the emperors eyeing for their own safety.
And with those thoughts and that much of a commotion, they didn't notice the fact that the two emperors skilfully transported two boxes multiple times and before they knew it, there are no boxes in the whole set up at all, and when one became puzzled all the came were four empty boxes out of both their spatial rings and an answer of the herbs being used up.
Back in the western continent within the Imperial Palace grounds, four people came out of a box and an attendant who is loyal to Arc escorted them to one of the secret rooms within the Palace.
They decided not to move carelessly and tried their best to stay low-key.
If they came out of the imperial palace, the news will pretty sure go back to the Thunder god temple and the other six major powers at this sensitive period, nobody would believe that Arc is just worried about his nation's safety too much.
Added to the fact, that he really trying to get the help of a twenty-year-old young man than the major powers which have numerous experts with experience and genius at their disposal.
At first, they would think of all this as an attack on their own ego, and then the second thing, they will be too suspicious about this.
That is why they decided to hide them for now and secretly send the four of them back to Sam's city and make them appear out of nowhere.
Arc thought this through and is ready to execute it. Tomorrow will be the Judgement formation interrogation and everyone who is a Pre-transcendent or above shall move out.
For now, there are not more than twenty people within the Western continent, who fit in this criterion.
While the decision-makers are trying their best to finish the process, there are several minor meetings going on within the nations.
Most of them are of the Church Priests, getting ready to spread their faith, the very next morning.
But there are some meetings which are completely unrelated to that and about which one person is completely delighted.
That person is none other than Arman.
The meetings are between all the factions that are present within the communication network.
The meetings happened individually within the factions and some happened even between multiple factions.
All these meetings are about who gets the temporary control of the network and everyone tried to vote up their offspring, but they are being rejected by the rest of them.
All this came into existence because Arc said something about not being able to return the same day, and just like that they are panicking.
After an intense amount of arguments, they finally decided on one name and that name happened to be Arman.
Yes, Arman who has completely no relation to them and possibly has a great relationship with Sam, was given the helm of the communication network temporarily.
Arman, who was dragged into the situation, turned unexpectedly delighted, because this is what he wanted to do, with all the failures, he has been through he almost wanted to shed tears of happiness.
