Path of Absolute Transcendence

Chapter 84 - 84: 84. Words

Kai didn't do anything suspicious in his first week. He just observed the reactions of people; he wanted to know how they would react to this absurd situation.

'It seems they aren't totally under control. But how is the king subtly manipulating them? It may be related to this formation.'

Kai concluded after his observation. He started studying the formation after that.

He only did that during his work time; he didn't do anything in his free time. Staying near the Treasury all the time may arouse suspicion.

"Hey, how long are we going to be locked up like this?"

"The king didn't even give us any proper explanation. He just treats us without any respect."

"I am currently at a critical moment in my cultivation; I need to go to my house for a breakthrough; I can't even do it here because of the crowds and disturbance."

Like this, a lot of people complained about the situation. Nobody likes to be locked up for no reason.

' I should start adding fuel to the fire.'

Kai's plan was very simple. He needs a person with enough charisma and leadership to lead the group and start a revolt against the king's decision.

That person must have the quality to convince others with words alone.

The words have a lot of magical power. If the right words are used in the right situation, it will get better. The same words can be used controversially in the wrong situation.

The king may just kill the leader of this operation to silence the crowd. He doesn't know the king's personality well enough to act in person.

Kai placed his hands on Mud's and lifted him. He injected his Will power into him.

Mud wasn't even able to scream because Kai didn't allow him. Before, Kai only subtly manipulated other sand spirits, which were basically half-baked and only capable of acquiring information.

But this time, Kai used the same method as he used with the insect. He can manipulate the target like a puppet without any restriction.

Kai let his hand go, and mud fell to the ground.

"Stand up," Kai ordered without any emotion.

Mud stood up as ordered. His body and mind weren't in the right condition to stand up, but he stood still without complaining.

"You need to gather people and make them form a group to revolt against this lockdown order. Don't act until I give the signal."

"Okay, boss." He replied in a mechanical tone.

"Don't act like that from now on. Act naturally; be yourself."
