"We have come as you ordered Patriarch."
"Greetings Elders."
A small group of old men were bowing before a certain individual. This man was writing something onto a scroll with impeccable penmanship.
"This will do, bring this scroll to our allies."
The parchment was promptly sealed and given to one of the men here. The man that received this letter could see the intricate dragon design that was stamped onto the seal of this scroll.
"It shall be done."
"Is everything ready? I don't think that I have to remind you that we must not fail, if something goes wrong then we will have to suffer the wrath of an enraged Azure Emperor."
The man that was named the Patriarch commented while taking a seat. The others followed suit as everyone sat down together around a table.
"There is one problem…"
"What is it? Spit it out!"
The man that commented swallowed hard and then continued.
"It's about the Patriarch's Grandson…"
The old Patriarch's brows shot up high and he promptly slammed down his fist on the table.
"What did he do now, tell me."
"It's not much, more of the same. He has heard rumors of a beauty from one of the middle-sized sects and he wishes to take her into his harem…"
The old Patriarch gave out a sigh before leaning back.
"Is it just that? I thought that part of his character would mature just as his cultivation did. Is there a problem with this particular sect?"
"Yes, the woman in question is their Patriarch's wife, this individual, in particular, is revered as one of the rising stars in the region. Normally it would not be a concern but we might suffer casualties if we engage in battle. It would be better to wait till after our plan is carried out but the esteemed junior doesn't want to see reason, he is blinded by lust. Maybe Patriarch could talk some sense into him?"
The Patriarch listened while tapping his fingers on the now cracked table.
"Aye, the boy's hobby is hard to satiate but even I am having trouble controlling him. He has grown strong, so strong that I can't even foretell what heights he might reach… it is as if he is our ancestor reborn, we need him for the plan to work…"
Soon the old man nodded with his head as the decision was made.
"Lend him some of the supreme elders and go take care of it, it's just a middle-sized sect even if their Patriarch is at the epitome of the nascent soul, he will not pose a problem, take care of it! We still have some time left."
"As you wish, Patriarch, it will be carried out swiftly."
Soon the meeting ended and the old man that brought up the Patriarch's grandson was approached by some other people.
"Elder Tong, how did it go?"
"Not well, the old Patriarch favors his grandson, we must appease his urges once again, send word to the supreme elders we will move out, as always…"
The man that approached this elder also gave out a sigh while shaking his head.
"I will do as Elder Tong commands, the elders will be ready by tomorrow. What about the esteemed junior?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him…"
The two men nodded at each other and they parted ways. The man named Tong then floated out of the meeting place that was taking place in a large tower-like structure. He glanced back at this tower which had a giant dragon coiling around it.
Right at the top was the dragon's head that was open. Right there was a giant radiant orb, this orb was producing massive spiritual fluctuations that fused into the sect's protective barrier.
If someone would fly out beyond the barrier they would quickly notice the true meaning behind this treasure. The whole sect was floating off the ground, the barrier covered the whole set of mountain peaks that made all of it up.
Tong quickly soared towards one of these mountain peaks. The moment he arrived he could tell the changes that were done to it by its newest master. The scantily clad female disciples and lack of male disciples was a dead giveaway. Even the servants were all of the female variety. Unless a person was an established elder they were barred from entering this place.
Tong here was one of these supreme elders that could not be stopped even by the new peak master that resided here.
"Greetings elder, should I deliver a message to the Peak Lord?"
"That won't be needed, I would request a meeting with the peak lord, free of others."
The beauty that approached this old man lowered her head for a moment before speaking out.
"T-the peak lord does not like to be disturbed, is this an order?"
"Yes, it comes from the Patriarch, don't waste my time!"
The woman bowed her head and quickly apologized before removing herself and moving towards the peak lord's estate. The old man was asked to wait for the time being while she fetched the man in question.
Thirty minutes later Elder Tong found himself tapping his fingers on the table himself as he was made to wait in the guest house.
"Every damn time, that young sprout has no respect for his elders, what will become of this sect if he is meant to be the future of it…"
After another ten minutes passing elder Tong was finally able to hear someone approaching. The bamboo door slid to the side and then he saw him.
The man was about six feet tall with long jet black hair. His stature was not too muscular but also not too skinny at about that golden middle ratio. His apparel was revealing and his hairless chest was showing of that pale skin and pectoral muscles.
"What do you want you old fart, I said that I didn't want to be bothered."
Elder Tong's brows furrowed and he started frowning at how the young man looked. There were two vixens wrapped around each of his arms, their large breasts pushing into his arms as they smiled.
"You smell of alcohol, this is not how the young master of the Wang family should behave!"
"Yeah yeah, what do you want, old man, I hope you brought up what I requested with ol' gramps?"
The young master that he came to deliver the message to slowly walked in and plopped on the nearby sofa. One of the ladies quickly made her way into his lap while the young man's hand started grasping onto her hip.
"Yes, the Patriarch has agreed. Some of the Supreme elders will join us tomorrow."
"Great, I knew ol' gramps would see it my way."
The young man laughed out loud while still getting handsy with the two girls by his side. Elder Tong on the other side could see that there was something wrong with those women. Their smiles felt empty and their eyes were somewhat glossed over.
He did not know what happened behind closed doors but he knew that there was something affecting them. With a combination of herbs and certain techniques, it was easy to break someone's mind. The women the young lord fancied were known to change with time.
Even when they were returned to where they came from they were never the same as before. Stories of them ending their life afterwards were quite common.
"If it was this much, you could have just told it to one of my attendants."
Tong's intent was to keep the clan young master's name out of the dirt. If the regular disciples knew that he periodically captured women from other sects the good Wang name would go through the dirt. The young master on the other hand didn't seem to care and bad rumors were already spreading.
"There is also another issue, the Patriarch requires you to participate in the future mission, I don't think I have to explain how grave the situation is, all of the peak lords must participate!"
"Ah, the new quest? Yeah sure, after we are done with the side gig it won't be a problem, It will be a great moment to get more points."
Elder Tong wasn't sure what the young man was talking about. Even after all these years, he could not get used to the way he spoke. Even though he was an oddball the results were there.
The more enemies he slew the stronger he became. To this day he was the youngest ever nascent soul cultivator that this sect had created, rivaling only the old ancestor with his speed of progress.
His path was riddled with corpses as all of the previous young masters that stood before him were now six feet under. There didn't seem to be any remorse behind his actions and whenever a new opponent was slain the mention of some strange spirit points was given.
Then when the Azure Emperor was mentioned strange words like 'last boss' or 'raid' were mentioned. The Patriarch doted on this young man though so no one could say anything, the crazy words could only be attributed to this young man's eccentric nature.
"Fine, we shall leave in the morning, that babe will be a fine addition to my collection, not enough light-haired and tanned beauties in this world, everyone is just so pale."
The young master started laughing while Elder Tong removed himself from this place before he could lose even more brain cells. He did not even bother to mention the husband as he knew that it would only rile the young master up.
One of his favorite pastimes was taking women away from their spouses. Then he would quickly toss the women away while enjoying the show. It was as if the young man had his woman taken away from him and now he was trying to get back at any happy couple that he could see.
…..
"My gratitude, Senior, how could we ever repay you?"
"No need, I was just passing by on my journey, just be careful next time."
Zhang Dong floated up while a group of merchants prostrated themselves before him. They were almost robbed and killed by a group of bandits but then he came along. The bandits were promptly taken care of and any spirit stones that they had were taken away.
"This won't do, such an act must be rewarded!"
"Well, if you say it like that… I could use some spirit stones…"
Zhang Dong nodded and was quick to relieve the merchants of some of their spirit stones. As he was leaving he could see the man that offered him the reward being beaten up by all the other merchants that were now without any spirit stones.
"I should stop making so many stops, for some reason I have a bad feeling about this…"
