Chapter-1[The Beginning]

In the middle of a green lushing wilderness which could be said to be the hub of many demonic beasts, a man's body suddenly appeared there. The body literally emerged out of nowhere.

The man was relatively handsome, had black hair, sharp sword-like eyebrows, and a lean athletic type body. The Man seemed to be around '20s wearing a white robe laid on the ground, completely dormant, Not knowing whether he was alive or not. But that's not all, there were injures all over Man's body, with slashes that appeared in the robe that the man was wearing.

The white Daoist robe was altered into red from several places. His hair was messed up from the dust that entered it. And there was a long slash of sword or something identical on his back, making blood flow from there, dyeing his robe in red from the back more and along with that, making the green grass gain a little glimmer of red on it from the blood that flowed from the man.

The cold wind breeze as the birds twittered among themselves. The noise of the water flowing sounded everywhere. But even with all the noise, the man remained motionless.

After around 5 minutes, the man's body's shivered a little, whether it was due to the cold wind or other reason, only he know.

As though he felt the cold, the man curled himself to keep the cold wind affecting his whole body but a frown appeared on the man's face, from the pain he may have felt going through his body.

Suddenly, the grass bushes that were a little away from the man trembled, and a small fox, or a child fox, a complete snow-white fox appeared.

But there were considerable injuries on the body of the fox, which made the white fur colored in red from the blood and even its legs were trembling a little but its eyes showed determination along with worry. The fox's eyes exhibited intelligence far more than normal animals making it look quite wise.

The fox looked around with an uneasy expression on its face before its sight landed on the curled-up man laid on the soft green grass lustering in red.

The fox without wasting a single second ran toward the Man, it even ignored all the injuries inflicted on its body. Along the way, it nearly lost its footing several times and fall on the ground but again stood up and ran toward the motionless man.

The fox reached in front of the man and tears started to flow from its eyes seeing the condition the man was in. The fox eyes expressed struggle whether to shake the man or not to examine his condition but can't decide.

It seems to know that the man was going to feel a lot of pain if it shook him but the anxiousness to know the condition of the man made it difficult for the fox to think clearly.

The fox continued to circle around the man for a while thinking of the solution but came to none.

Suddenly, the wind started to blow at a high speed making all the trees shake, leaves started breaking from the branches, and fluttered away with the wind.

The fox lowered its head down to protect itself from the dust that blew with the wind too.

The robe that the man was wearing started to flutter a little but not too much as most of the robe is stuck with his skin as the blood already dried from different places.

In a minute, the wind died down, and along with the wind, all other activity that was happening in the forest also stopped.

But now, one can't hear the chirping of the birds that were there before as they all flew away and the sound of water flowing coming from a nearby natural waterfall or pond also ceased to exist like the flow of the water stopped.

And along with that, a figure of a beautiful woman appeared in front of the man laying on the grass. The woman had features that would put the Gods and Celestials to shame. Her body seemed to be crafted to the perfection of the finest jade that a person could ever hope to find.

The woman appeared to be around her 20's with glistering black hair and the same black eyes that stared at the man with confusion evident in them.

"Weird...I didn't sense someone here when I passed before, and he seemed to be quite hurt too.." The woman muttered with a confused expression on her face. The voice of the woman was alluring and bewitching making the one who listened to it get lost in that voice alone.

The fox lifted its head hearing the Woman and quickly ran in front of the man and hissed at the woman in a threatening manner.

The fox's eyes showed a dangerous and possessive light in them as it hissed at the woman.

The woman looked at the fox with a surprised look on her face, 'A spirit beast? No... this fox doesn't have an ounce of spiritual energy, but it seemed way too intelligent for being a normal fox and the man is weird too... he is injured beyond the limit, and same with the fox, I can't sense a speck of Spiritual Energy from him, like he is a mortal but the feeling that surrounded him is ethereal, the same feeling that Master gave sometimes, should I save him or not?'

The woman put on a thoughtful expression as she struggled to decide whether to save him or not but after a minute, she decided to save him.

'Not like something could happen...' The woman thought for a moment and stepped forward.

"I will save him." The woman said to the fox who showed hesitation hearing the woman's words.

'This spirit beast is way too much intelligent... maybe it would be a good idea to take it with me to the sect...and I may get some reward from the Master from catching this intelligent spirit beast..' The woman thought with a sly glint passing through her eyes.

She believed that this fox is a precious and a rare spirit beast as it showed this much intelligence and she should be able to get the reward if she took the beast with her.

This is just the simple nature of every living being in this world. The strong prey on the weak. The cold truth of the reality.

The fox seemed to be on more guard as though it sensed the woman's intentions but still gave the way for the woman to look at the man. It can't do anything else itself to help the man so taking help from others was the best it could do.

The woman walked in front of the man and crouched down, looking at the man with a curious expression.

'Well, he is more handsome than the Senior Brothers in the sect...' The woman thought as her hands trailed over the back of the man, just a little away from the slash.

'The wound is too deep...' The woman thought as she saw how deep the wound was.

She was surprised that this man was still able to stay alive even after he got this many injuries and not only that, but the slash mark was clearly a fatal injury along with the blood that the man lost.

The woman then lifted the arm of the man using her hand and send a little bit of her spiritual energy into the body of the man.

'His internal organs are ruptured, and his meridians are completely broken...how the hell is he still alive?!' The woman exclaimed mentally with her expression that turned completely surprised.

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes wide in disbelieve.

She seemed to be unable to comprehend what she just witnessed.

'How?! This much Yang Energy?!' The woman was shocked to her core when her spiritual energy reached the Man's Dantian to diagnose it but it was filled with Yang Energy, to the core.

She couldn't come to believe that someone she thought as the mere mortal had this much Yang Energy in its body, 'Wait!'

As though she realized something, the woman's eyes were wide open again.

The woman quickly come out of her shock and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, 'Does this man own the infamous Yang Physique?!'

This thought hovered in the woman's mind and then several pills appeared out of nowhere in the woman's hand and she put all of them in the man's mouth without any care whether he could even eat them or not as the pills melted the moment it entered the man's mouth, 'This should give him a temporary relief, but who would have thought that I would find the owner of Yang Physique on a mission like this.'

The woman then stood up and clean the dirt on her white robe and looked at the man with a curious expression.

'Should I take this man with me too? Master should have some medicine to heal him completely... and the Yang Physique would be helpful in the sect, even if the owner is crippled.' The woman decided.

Meanwhile, the fox observed everything the woman did, while her eyes showed extreme care for the man which seemed to say that it is ready to lose its own life or put its life at risk to keep him safe.
