Chapter 30
New Blood Oath
âWe do,â Patrick answered quickly. âWe have a prison for people who betray our sect in any way, as well as for those who commit any other jail-worthy crimes.â
âBetrayal, huh?â John tilted his head at Patrick. âHow did they betray our sect with the blood oath in place?â
Milton answered before Patrick.
âThings like telling their target they had been contracted to kill the person.â The frown on Miltonâs face said it all. âUnless he or she pays the same price as the contract to live deal, this results in a loss for the sect.â
âI see.â John nodded back at Patrick. âI 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.â
There was a pause, then Johnâs face twisted darkly.
âWhat youâre 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.â
âBut⦠Sirâ¦â
âThe five prisoners in each sect will be killed.â Johnâs expression was calm and collected, but there was something dark glinting in the hollows of his eyes. âWe need the sects to believe theyâre accomplishing something great. The Sword and Dual Cultivation Sects will detect the spies instantly, but Iâm not certain of what the Death Sect knows of us.â
John went on to suggest that Patrick withdraw his current spies if there were any on the Death Sectâs planet. He was instructed to make sure all spies were present to take the new blood oath, or else they would most likely perish.
âEspecially that spy youâve told me about inside the Adventurers Guild.â John leaned back in his chair, making it seem more and more like an iron throne with his calm yet menacing aura. âBoth he and the letter Iâve given you are now a big part of my plan in the future.â
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 didnât work on anyone, the Death Sect would still remain suspicious.
âAnd finally, the other thing Iâve asked you to come here for is to help me make the new blood oath.â John crossed his legs casually as he addressed the four before him. âAs 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 wonât remove it. Something simple but to the point would work best. Something like âI will not betray the sect in any way or alert others of its presence, name, plans, and members.â Whatâs your take?â
There was a brief spell of silence, but Sadie was the first to reply.
