As the young master stared at Sam who stopped playing the flute, he was dumbfounded. He could see the energy domains disappearing and the aftermath is clearly visible to see.

The whole area is full of residual elemental energies moving in a special rhythm.

The whole place is infested with the aura of the music and the marks of their battle. He is sure that people that barely started their music practice will have great gains if they come here. But all of those thoughts disappeared as he looked at Sam who is coming towards him.

When they are only a few feet away, Sam spoke.

"I really admire your musical prowess. I don't know if I should say that it is an honor to fight with you or it is a pity that you are on the other side. But I cannot bring myself to kill you just like that.

You have two choices. One, swear an oath with your soul that you would continue practicing music and spread this path and if you want any revenge you can just come and find me. You wouldn't go after my subordinates of the branches of my organization.

The second option is that you would die on the spot.

I have no large enmity with you and your family except for the fact that you are subordinates of Indra.

You choose."

The young master was dumbfounded. He stood up and bowed to Sam before taking an oath.

"I shall continue the line of Merene family and shall spread my art. I thank Sir Sam for the mercy. If I ever find myself in the maws of desire for vengeance, then I assure you that I will come searching for. This I swear on my honor as a Gandharva of the Merene family.

This is a Gandharva Oath."

When he spoke lightning crackled in the sky. Sam looked surprised and the young master explained.

"Gandharvas have a special oath and vows that they could do. Since we are subordinates of the gods, our oaths would be recognized as the natural elements that are controlled and ruled by our gods. If I break my oath, the lightning of nature will not rest until I die.

In fact, we can even oversee other people's oath as a witness on behalf of nature. If a Gandharva acts as a witness of the oath between two different parties, the party that broke the oath will be judged by the natural element of the Gods that are worshipped by the Gandharva."

Sam nodded and was surprised as he never heard about it.

The young master then took out something from his storage and gave it to Sam. It turned out that the heirloom is with the young master instead of the family head.

He stored it away and once again bowed to the young master and left to meet his team.

They finished the cleaning up.

There are not many people left in the Merene family. Except for the few people they sent to their friend's place so that their family branch would survive and the lineage wouldn't disappear, almost everyone else was dead.

The city that was currently calm and curious about the Merene family's movements would surely burn in chaos in a few days.

Sam and his team entered the city to take the rest of the night and move later the next day.

The whole war ended in only one day and the fate of the realm was turned upside down.

While the team went to the inn and make other arrangements, Sam went to the family estate of the Merene family, there is no one there to stop him, so he went into the temple and meet with the Indra statue.

He took out a small liquid energy cell and tied it to the statue before performing the ritual.

"Really Indra? You can be angry at me for being a pain in your ass, you can at least be kind to your devotees, can't you. You should have at least not played with their feelings by using words like curse breaking and such. They all died because of you. Can you understand that? You killed them all?"

"Don't think you can escape the sin just because you try to push the responsibility to me. You are the killer, the blood is on your hands. You will soon reap what you sow."

"Well, I guess, your words also apply to you too. Good luck with that."

Sam broke the token and the statue was destroyed.

He went back to the inn and rested for the night, thinking where they should go.

According to the list, their next target is actually another religious organization. They worship Zeus.

Although, Sam's main focus was on the organizations under Hou Yi's and Hel's name and the next on the list was Indra, the other party he wanted o deal with was Zeus if he had to make a choice.

Out of gods, Sun Wukong, Karthikeya, have a good relationship with him, while he had bad blood with three gods, and he cannot do anything about his own god's organizations.

So, in these neutral five, if he has to select, he would pick Zeus, and then he would pick Thor and Agni. It is not because he has bad blood with them, he doesn't like Zeus and the remaining two are the targets, he doesn't care too much about.

Anyway, the rest of the players understood Sam's enmity with Hou Yi and Hel and let go of those organizations, they barely messed with them and then some of Indra's organizations are taken down by Sam as well.

Now he is going after Zeus' organization.

This religious organization has many races coming to it. In fact, it is one of those organizations that collect people of decent talents from low-level organization and nurture them so that they can be sent to higher planes to join Zeus' army.

The temple is currently run by the Stone Demi-Giants. These people are different from the demi giants Sam already dealt with. They are of the earth element and they have are fifty-five percent purity in their giant bloodline.

Along with the stone giants, there are some earth elemental beings that belong to a winged race that is completely devoted to the temple and the remaining people are all from different races and they even have different elemental affinities.

The next morning Sam asked the team to collect some information from some merchants. Now everyone knew of Sam and his team, they clearly saw them dragging people off the Merene family through the city into the forest, the Merene family that went there didn't come back but these people did.

They could guess what could have happened.

So, they are extremely respectful to the team and all the merchants immediately spilled the beans.

The main business of the Temple is to make Golems and sell them. They make all kinds of golems. The base of the golems is the stone and they add elements of others with the help of the other members. Their energy would be used to create golems of different elemental affinities.

Even if one was not a golem user they can easily make a contract with the golem.

The Zeus'stone temple. That is the name of the organization.

They don't control the city, they don't control the realm. Nobody knows how many people are there in their ranks all they knew is that there is one Late-stage Transcendent cultivator of Astral Plane, exactly six middle-stage Transcendent cultivators of Astral Plane with three being demi giants and three being winged race.

And there are around twelve Initial stage cultivators of the Astral Plane.

The number stayed the same for millennia and nobody knows why and where the people who made breakthroughs went.

As for members of Astral Plane Pre-transcendence and less, there are many people and no one bothered to count, but they are still not as many as the people that are ruling the realm.

But the problem is nobody could be happy that their numbers are lesser, because the stone golems are a major problem. It could be said that Zeus' stone temple's main strength is the stone golems themselves.

There are high-level golems that have contracts with the members, but even the low-strength golems are extremely troublesome.

There was an incident where an Astral Plane Initiation cultivator of the stone temple that killed three Astral plane Pre-transcendent cultivator and the main reason is because of the number of stone golems in his hand.

He has dozens of Astral Plane Stone golems at Initiation plane and there are hundreds of Mortal Plane Consummation stage golems.

Even though all of them are weak, they just completely surrounded the three and jumped on them while exploding themselves without any care for their own safety which eventually killed them.

These stone golems are as troublesome as the undead. But for the undead, at least if the necromancer dies, it would be alright, but these golems are already given spirits by the makers and the users barely make contracts, they don't need someone's control as long as they were already programmed to fight. So once the enemy was locked even after the user dies, they will only stop after they destroyed the enemy.
