Sam sent Sia down to the Forest to get the night ghost into the city. This is the perfect situation that they are looking for.

At this moment, the last remaining grand elder without any adverse effects is currently holding his little brother Mardhan at the point of a dagger and is asking questions violently.

"Who did this? Where is that guy? Is it a plot from Frost Giants? Are you assisting them now?"

The barrage of questions hit Mardhan like a storm on his face. He couldn't comprehend exactly what happened as his brother didn't think of explaining why he is doing it and just directly went to questioning.

Seeing that Mardhan is not answering anything, the grand elder made his hands do the work as he beat the crap out of the little brother.

After that beating and some mild explanation, Mardhan finally understood and his face looked horrified and this also made the grand elder understand that his brother is nothing but a pawn in the whole game.

He immediately called for the guards and the elders to conduct a search over the city. The wormholes for other realms and planets are closed and people are looking for a man with certain features.

Sia went to the forest and met with Night Ghost.

"Our side is finished with the task. It is now your playground."

"What did you guys do? How is it possible to do something like weakening the ash demon family in such a short time?"

"For our boss, it is possible. At this moment, two of the three triplets are suffering from severe freezing effects. One of the guys has his meridians and energy circulation network frozen, while the second guy has the muscle fibers frozen. They couldn't even move.

The third triplet, a grand elder is the only one moving freely. But he is also worried about something.

So, if you cannot take this opportunity, you wouldn't get a second chance like this. Hurry up."

"I can't believe you guys did this."

With that, he immediately moved along with Sia and soon they are inside the city right outside the estate of the Ash Demon family.

A bunch of ghosts rose from Night Ghost's body as they spread all over the estate and soon they returned.

"Are you guys coming with me?"

"Of course, who would take care of the low-level cultivators if we don't come with you? Do you want to deal with all the nuisance they create for you?"

"Thanks."

With that, Sia contacted the rest of the team and they also arrived at the entrance. The whole group walked into the estate as they owned it.

The guards and the elders that are already alert with something like this happening, couldn't help but notice such an eye-catching group and they decided to intercept immediately.

The team spread out and dealt with all of them. Only Sam continued following Night Ghost on harbinger as they moved to the spot where triplets are.

The grand elder is pacing around as he looked at his two brothers trying to fight for their lives.

The two things Sam used are something he came across throughout his journey. The liquid is actually something he bought through the shop. A high-grade frost essence is actually quite cheap. The second thing which was passed on as the slime pill is actually the parasite that was inside the Phoenix's body.

As for the pill that was given to the grand elder who is still running around and the pills that are given to Mardhan are actually the real experimental drugs of the organization. They are not made for some long-lasting immunity, but they are made of a temporary immunity against cold attacks and cold environments.

He just used the experimental drugs as bait to lure these guys in. In fact, he was worried that they wouldn't take the potion and the slime in. He thought that they might become suspicious and test them on some lower-level people.

But he bet on the fact that they owe something to their little brother and it seems that the gamble paid off.

If it didn't, he would have had to make some more preparations and it would take a few more days.

Luckily it was all over faster than he anticipated, so he could get out of this recruitment that he is sick of. He is now going to take a vacation while beating his peers just like Kiran did.

But unlike Kiran, he is also going to challenge people of higher cultivation. Since he is in the Initial stage, he would be challenging people at the middle stage of Pre-transcendence too.

He would place himself under severe restrictions in different realms. The whole experience would be refreshing.

While he is thinking of what he is going to do with the free time he decided to take, Night Ghost was already done with the three brothers. The only danger with the three brothers is that they would fight well together and even late-stage Transcendent cultivators and even some peak stage transcendent cultivators find trouble when they fight like that.

Now that two of them are bedridden in an ice-cold stage, he could take them down easily.

Sam walked to one of the bodies and cut open it to take the parasite.

He still doesn't know many details regarding this parasite, he is not going to let go of it that easily.

After the family was finished and Night Ghost ate all their souls, they left the place and then the realm.

Night Ghost made a contract with Sam and they all went back to desolate so that they could join the first team and continue taking the organizations down.

After that, he started charting out his own personal journey.

This is going to be his personal vacation. That could last from a few days to a few months and even over a year.

He didn't think of planning the whole thing from the scratch. He just picked the realms that he would like to enter. Not even the order.

He would leave this journey for his unpredictable mood at the instance of making a decision.

After making all the arrangements, he finally made his move.

His first target is the Emerald Forest realm.

A realm that has a weird relationship with the color emerald.

This is caused by neutral spiritual energy that was mutated a bit. The emerald color that came from the mutated energy doesn't have additional properties except for a bit of focus on the physical bodies of the creatures, but the beasts and the meat that was available here tastes great.

Particularly, there is one beast that was famous not just in the realm but across the realms and there is one restaurant that made it possible.

The Emerald Gold Chicken Stew.

The Chicken, which has both emerald and golden feathers and body texture particularly suitable for making a stew. Now that he decided to have a vacation, he needs to satisfy his vanity a bit and decided to go there and taste the stew too.

Sam used the dimensional drifter and disappeared.

After reaching the realm, the first thing he did is, picking a target.

As much as he likes enjoying that stew, if he took the annoying part out of the way, he can enjoy it freely.

There are a bunch of families with the head of the family being a Middle stage Pre-transcendent stage cultivators in the realm and out of all those, one organization has the highest influence.

The Mace sect.

The sect that only focuses on the warriors and that too the ones who only use mace as their weapon.

This is somewhat eccentric, but there is no law stating that a mace sect couldn't be made. After all, swords and sabers have sects made after them.

Sam's target was this organization and the restrictions he put himself on are also simple.

He is going to use a blunt weapon on them and he is also only going to use his physical strength. No elemental abilities, no usage void style, ripple style and repel style.

No usage of tricks and tactics. Only pure raw and brute force.

As for the choice of a blunt weapon, he would leave it for the latter.

Now, it is time for enjoying the stew.

When he reached the restaurant, Sam was stunned. There are around a hundred people waiting in the line outside.

There are a bunch of rules placed on the restaurant.

'No reservations are accepted.

No recommendations would be taken.

Limited servings of stew per day.

No overnight waiting allowed and the line should only be made after the sunrise.'

Sam was stunned when he saw the rules, but he could only sigh, he is sure that there is no way he would be getting that stew that day. So, he could only enter the forest and try to hunt different beasts and try to taste them and if they are good, he would add them to the livestock in the divine dimension.
