Hou was the first to wake up, "It's about time now, you two should get out of here..."
Hamar and Mo Huai, who had allowed themselves to get drunk and sleep previously, awoke and used their own techniques to remove all the effects of alcohol. Hamar nodded and stood himself up, as in peeled away his consciousness from the body he was temporarily possessing.
Mo Huai held out his hand to Hou, "Have a good day Hou, while you're in here have no worry...we'll stop Yi Sect and get your main self back." Hou took his hand and shook it, "I won't worry and I won't be still either. Whatever Hamar is doing I'll be there too."
Hamar had already returned to his body in the real world though he smiled as he heard what Hou said anyways. Mo Huai smiled and brought in Hou, despite his unfamiliar look from possessing a random civilian, for a hug.
He patted his back, "See you," and with a timely response, Hou and Hamar coordinated to allow Mo Huai to be sent out of the Inner True World. At the same time, they did the same for William.
Hamar opened his eyes and saw William and Mo Huai stood beside him in the real world, "This is your first time out of the Solar Lands isn't it?" Hamar faced William.
"This is a land of cultivators alone. Had you still your aura you could've fought the elites but since you're drained I want to have you help defeat masses."
William looked around and took a breath, "War..."
"Exactly so...Go with my Master Mo Huai. You two will be focused on the main armies of Yi Sect, out enemy. I'll go to the frontline, though due to certain reasons I won't act if it isn't nessacary."
Mo Huai nodded, "That's the gist of it. I'll explain more as we go William." He turned to Hamar, "Take this token, it'll help the controller of the Great Formation keep track of you."
He held out his hand and from his sleeves a token flew out, made of purple crystal. Hamar took the piece and felt it in his hands, "Thanks, let's seperate now. Good luck."
Mo Huai agreed and left, bringing William with him. Hamar held the token as he felt a gut feeling rise, "Purple crystal...It's reminding me of the Reversal Crystals, we still don't know what they're doing with those...I hope this feeling is unfounded."
He squeezed onto the crystal token, "Send me to the frontline for elites," he gritted through his teeth, "I'll do what I can."
In the main control formation, Jin and Yan heard Hamar's voice and smirked in nostalgia before both of them worked together flawlessly to move Hamar through the formation to the elite squad.
Hamar saw his vision blur for a second and his entire surroundings shifted into what looked like a strategy took with a miniature model map in the centre.
He looked around and saw none he was very familiar with, and so bowed moderately, "Hamar, Disciple of Elder Mo Huai of the Nine Clouds Sect reporting in for duty!"
Out of the small crowd of people a man around thirty walked out from the centre and the others all parted ways for him. Out of the twenty-five people there, all but two bowed deeply.
The man had long black hair tied up at the back and a silky black robe with golden trimmings on. His face was extremely handsome and flawless, on his hip was a sword made of a shiny black material.
He had a glint in his eyes as he watched Hamar freeze, "I'm your Sect Leader, I've heard much of you Hamar."
"I'm deeply honoured," he said though he had not bowed any further. The atmosphere was thick and only lightened up when the Sect Leader slapped Hamar on his back.
His slap caused Hamar to physically bow deeper, despite Hamar's moderate attempt to keep still, "I like you Hamar...stand proud."
He placed his hand behind his back, "Up!" And at his command all those who had been bowed stood alert.
He continued, "You are all experts among experts. The weakest of you could destroy entire mountain ranges if needed."
He swung his hand and without anybody noticing how, a pointer appeared within his grip. He pointed towards the miniature model map in the middle of the room, specifically to a large mountain range.
"This is Yi Sect's headquarters, thank Hamar here for the info." Hamar, who had already had some attention placed on him, suddenly became one of the most intriguing of the people there.
The Nine Clouds Sect Leader continued, "Their forces number in the hundreds of thousands. Their strength is unknown, suspected to be from 10th hardening to upwards of 100+. The amount of laws they possess is massive and can easily be compared to our combined forces."
The Sect Leader picked upt he miniature mountain at the centre of the range and a set of holograms enlarged, "These are the main forces."
Hamar breathed in sharply and the Sect Leader looked back, "You have more info?"
Hamar tapped his foot under the Sect Leader's gaze, "Yes..." He had to calculate in his mind whether the causality cost of the info he would say is worth it.
He stepped forward and held out his hand, awaiting the pointer. He gripped it within his hands and circled the few holographic characters Sect Leader had called the main forces.
"These," He explained, "are only the main force of Yi Sect. They have someone behind them, we need to not underestimate their strength." He felt causality from his Inner True World drain a little.
The Sect Leader raised his eyebrows lightly, "And what do you know of them, if anything?"
Hamar's hand squeezed as he continued to calculate what he could and couldn't say, using his intuition to guage the causality cost.
He looked up and scanned the crowd, looking each figure in the eyes with a grimaced face. He closed his eyes solemnly, "They are extremely...special. I fear it would be a stretch to defeat them with the people here alone. But you do not need to defeat, just drain them if their power as much as possible which can be done by even defeating other Yi Sect forces."
Nine Clouds Sect Leader thought and explained to his thinking, "They have power coming from their subordinates? We will keep that in mind."
Hamar nodded and stepped back, under everyone's gazes he talked to Hou inwardly, "That's what you think, right? That those behind Yi Sect have done a similar thing to me and Solar Lands. That they have causality from Yi Sect doing things in this world?"
