One hour later.

Sam and the team including his friends are all walking into the inner city. At the gate, the team spread as they started taking out the patrol guards and other people that are roaming around.

They took one person after another without hesitation and they moved slowly.

After an hour of this hunt, they finally arrived at one place they are looking forward to entering.

The place where the battle between the sect leaders happened. The three sect leaders are all laying on the ground with wound-ridden bodies. They couldn't find any energy in themselves to even stand up.

The Earth Sect master, not only kill the Water Sect leader, he managed to fight the other two sect leaders to a draw right after that. Sam is really willing to see how strong the Fire Sect Leader is. But too bad, he is not here at the moment.

But luckily, that was to their advantage as Sam is not sure that he would have been able to do what he did now with him present.

Things would have ended extremely badly.

Sam neared them along with the team as they looked at the three groaning middle-aged men in pity.

The battle has just been over. They figured that they would make their way here in time for that, so they started exactly an hour after the battle started, and here they are.

The battle lasted almost two hours.

Night Ghost sent his ghosts out to take a quick patrol to check the positions of the remaining Grand Elders, who didn't show up at the scene which is kind of confusing.

With the commotion these four people created, it is almost impossible for the Grand Elders to not sense it with their cultivation level.

But he didn't care much.

He just looked at Paras and said.

"You can do what you want with them. It is all yours now."

With that, he took the spatial rings of the three alive leaders and the one dead leader as he walked along with the rest of the team. He left the Ghost Chimera there which is something only he can control so that Paras can have some backup.

Currently, all the three sect leaders are wasted and they wouldn't be able to recover for months with the best treatment, much less attack now.

And thus, the torture for the revenge began. Specter was also left there just in case Paras wants some memory extraction, so Sam doesn't have to worry about that side of things and can proceed with his plans.

Sam entered the nearest sect headquarters, the Water Sect headquarters.

When he entered with the team, all they got to meet are the young masters and some normal elders. There is not a single sign of the Grand Elders. Sam frowned at this.

He put all of them in a formation set up for a controlled expression within a single hall and left one of his friends there with the trigger as he left for another sect.

He was met with the same sight yet again and he did the same again and the same for the next three sects.

Now, he essentially held all the people inside the sect hostage.

He went to one of the high-level young masters and asked.

"Where did the grand elders go?"

"I don't know." The young master answered resolutely.

*PAK*

A slap was landed on the face as the young master fell onto the ground with blood coming out of his ears.

He turned to another young master and asked.

"So, where are your grand elders? Where did they go while the sect is about to go extinct?"

"I I" He wanted to say that he didn't know but when he looked at his peer on the ground, he gulped and said.

"I don't know exactly where they went, but from what I heard, they are making preparations for the backup plan. They are there to arrange things."

"Where?"

"I don't know. But all of them went to the Wormholes."

Sam nodded and threw him back into the formation.

"You guys might have heard and some of you might have even seen the explosion that occurred in the grand hall a few days ago.

I am the one who did that and you are currently inside the formation that could do the same but just a dozen times stronger. So, even if you are stronger than your sect leader, you wouldn't be able to escape and even if one of you tries to do that, the formation will trigger and everyone will die without even a piece of your body left. Be careful.

I don't want to create another genocide today."

After that, he went to the buildings with wormholes. Sam doesn't know how these wormholes appeared in this world. In every realm, they are different and at least one set of them would always be in one place whereas if someone carefully put them there.

He got one of the guards and asked to show which portal leads to that special place and which portal the Fire Sect leader used to take the grand elders for the treatment.

After marking both the portals, he got ready with some formations. The first thing he did is set up the thunder prison at the mouth of the portal used by the Fire Sect leader. The second one is a controlled explosion formation placed at the mouth of the second portal leading to the backup.

After setting them up, Sam and the group waited.

Meanwhile,
