Chapter 30

New Blood Oath

“We do,” Patrick answered quickly. “We have a prison for people who betray our sect in any way, as well as for those who commit any other jail-worthy crimes.”

“Betrayal, huh?” John tilted his head at Patrick. “How did they betray our sect with the blood oath in place?”

Milton answered before Patrick.

“Things like telling their target they had been contracted to kill the person.” The frown on Milton’s face said it all. “Unless he or she pays the same price as the contract to live deal, this results in a loss for the sect.”

“I see.” John nodded back at Patrick. “I need you to fetch fifteen people from the prison, then. Tell them they can get their freedom back if they join another sect to spy for us. We need volunteers for the Sword Sect, Dual Cultivation Sect, and the Death Sect. We need five people for each sect.”

There was a pause, then John’s face twisted darkly.

“What you’re not going to tell them is that they are sacrificial pawns. The Sword Sect and Dual Cultivation Sect knows about the Rogue Sect. They are weeding spies out by using our blood oath against us.”

“But… Sir…”

“The five prisoners in each sect will be killed.” John’s expression was calm and collected, but there was something dark glinting in the hollows of his eyes. “We need the sects to believe they’re accomplishing something great. The Sword and Dual Cultivation Sects will detect the spies instantly, but I’m not certain of what the Death Sect knows of us.”

John went on to suggest that Patrick withdraw his current spies if there were any on the Death Sect’s planet. He was instructed to make sure all spies were present to take the new blood oath, or else they would most likely perish.

“Especially that spy you’ve told me about inside the Adventurers Guild.” John leaned back in his chair, making it seem more and more like an iron throne with his calm yet menacing aura. “Both he and the letter I’ve given you are now a big part of my plan in the future.”

John hypothesized that when the Death Sect found out about the Rogue Sect, they would use the blood oath to weed people out, too. That was where the five prisoners would come in to act as decoys. If the blood oath didn’t work on anyone, the Death Sect would still remain suspicious.

“And finally, the other thing I’ve asked you to come here for is to help me make the new blood oath.” John crossed his legs casually as he addressed the four before him. “As sect master, I can remove the blood oath from members by using the sect master token. But without a new blood oath to replace it, I won’t remove it. Something simple but to the point would work best. Something like ‘I will not betray the sect in any way or alert others of its presence, name, plans, and members.’ What’s your take?”

There was a brief spell of silence, but Sadie was the first to reply.
