Just as Kewang Yun was about to collide with the fist of the Nang Matriarch, an even faster figure shot in front of him, and not only blocked her but also flicked away like she was dirt.
[Not even the Asura Qi could detect her!]
This made Kewang Yun rather uneasy. The fact that this woman was undetectable must only mean one thing – she must be an immortal!
Kewang Yun was shocked by this fact. Although 'Asura's Way' described all the realms up to Saint Realm, he never thought he would encounter an Immortal here, in Lotus City of all places. It is said that only people in the Divine Realm can become immoral!
Kewang Yun was short of breath, for the first time ever he was utterly flabbergasted!
Why would a figure such as this protect him? This he did not know, but he did know one thing, [This is my ticket out of this backwater City, and into a bigger realm!] His eyes dazzled, unable to contain his excitement!
The woman, who had batted away the Nang Matriarch with the back of her palm gave out an obnoxiously loud snort.
"Look at you, a woman in her hundreds attacking this little junior!" She said sadistically, whilst turning her hand to Kewang Yun's cheek, pulling it as if he were a child, which both hurt and annoyed him!
She then looked up to the stands, to meet the eyes of an Old Man, with a saggy face, and a beard down to his waste. "You up there! Trash from the who knows what sect. Get down here!"
The moment the words left her mouth, the old man rushed down to meet her, he wouldn't put up any posterities around her. If one could look closely enough at him, they would see that this is a man whose life hangs in the balance!
He took a quick bow to her, "This lowly one is Lie Qu Shin, from the deputy headmaster of Abyssal Academy!"
"You're one from the mortal realm then. You seem to have even touched upon the Heavenly Way, yet your cultivation isn't even Heaven Realm."
She stroked her chin, slowly nodding in approval. It had to be known that people from the lower realms would have a much harder time cultivating than those of the Divine Realm.
If someone managed to get to break into the Heavenly Way in the lower realms as a junior, it means, if they were lucky enough to be born into a powerful faction, it would be possible for them to become a Sovereign!
Closely examining him, she asked, "Why would someone from the mortal realms dare to meddle in the business of Lotus City?"
Lie Qu Shin kept his head low, lips trembling.
"Are you going to make me ask again?" She said softly.
Lie Qu Shin tried to bite his tongue, but he knew that this old crone probably had many methods of getting it out of him.
"It was a request from a sect in the land in the Heavenly Way."
He said reluctantly, obviously not wanting to reveal any more information.
The woman reached out, and took his old chin in her hand, taking a deep breath. Slowly raising his head to look eye-to-eye.
This gaze made Lie Qu Shin visibly shake.
"I- it was the dawn light sect…" he slowly muttered.
"Good. Very good!" The Sect Master gave a smile.
She then held out her hand and a pill suddenly appeared. Giving it to the man.
[It that a spatial ring!] Kewang Yun saw a ring on her finger flash, he had never seen one before! Apparently, they could hold anything that would fit in there. And the trashiest one could hold nine square meters of space in there!
A few feet away, under a mask, there was a face that looked like they had seen a shark swim on land, it was Ji Peng's! Kewang Yun could even hear him mutter. "The Sect Master didn't kill him?!? Is this – What's Happening!"
"Enough." The Sect Masters voice resounded through the arena. Everybody stood quiet, and Ji Peng's voice suddenly shrunk and ate his own words.
The Sect Master looked towards Kewang Yun and put her hand on his shoulder. Looking him in the eye. A dark energy was transferred through to his dantian, causing the Asura Qi to go into Chaos!
[What's going on, this Qi… it's pure and destructive, what is this!]
Then a massive stabbing pain appeared, forcing him to fall onto his knees growling. Suddenly a rumble was heard, and a dark shadow behind him was slowly taking form. The red eyes glowed, wanting to bathe the world in blood, and cut down all who were not worthy to gaze upon its form.
"Yes! It's real!" The Sect Master said excitedly.
There was a wide grin that could be seen through the mouthpiece in the mask, showing scorched black teeth.
The manic laughter the woman let off was crazed, like a mad man's lullaby.
Releasing him, she asked. "Your name is Kewang Yun yes?"
Kewang Yun looked up at her, his eyes crazed, and bloodshot red, from having to go through that torture, causing him to forcibly reveal his Martial Spirit.
"Yes." He answered defiantly. Saying she could physically hurt him – but never destroy his spirit!
"Good. Excellent! How would you like to escape this City?" She licked her lips.
[This is it!] Kewang Yun thought to himself.
[The moment I can charge out of the City gates and make the world mine. And such a powerful person wants to take me away, it can only be a good thing!]
"Yes madam!" hurriedly agreed.
"Good. From this day forth, you are shall be a subject of the Heavenly Demon Tribe, and are to report to its subsidiary force, the Demonic Way Sect, in the Lands of Heaven!"
Hearing this Kewang Yun let out an involuntary grin, [Yes! It is finally happening. Wait, why would they want t- no matter. I control my own destiny!] Kewang Yun thought to himself, trying to get any thoughts of this woman's bad intentions out of his head.
He slowly looked towards three figures, his father, the Nang Matriarch, and Patriarch Ren!
"You want to undo these knots in your heart. But I will not help you. I'm afraid, that it'll be done by your own hand."
She looked to the centre of the City. The formation was not yet active. Six figures approached, the minions she had sent out earlier! Kneeling to her, "Task accomplished Sect Master!" they all said in unison.
"Good, you shall be rewarded. Ji Peng." She waved her hand signaling him to come over.
"Yes, Sect Master." He bowed deeply.
"You shall be responsible for the boy from now on. If anything happens I will use your feathers to make a hat!" She barked viciously.
Ji Peng had a cold sweat on his face. He knew how valuable the boy was, the Sect would probably make him go to the divine realm one day! This was both a great and heavy responsibility for him! Making friends with a genius! But at the same time protecting that genius from those who would do him harm.
"Farwell to you all." Smiled the Sect Master, with her rotten black teeth.
She signaled the men – move out!
