The Hunter Who Killed Immortals (97)

(Hidden Mountain Range- Thirteenth Peak)

(Valley of Death)

Not much had changed since Xu Lu had been officially chosen as the successor to the Crimson Demon sect.

Yes, there were a few annoying flies that tried to curry favour with her, but Xu Lu was not a trusting and naïve person.

She had experienced far too many betrayals and could easily see the motives of the disciples that approached her with smiles on their faces.

Power… authority… a feeling of superiority.

But of the three the most common motivation was power. 

The disciples who came up to her wanted to leech off her status in the sect. They wanted to be in control and on the side of the strong.

But she did not let them.

Xu Lu had driven all of them away and spent most of her time isolated in an area of the sect called the valley of death.

This place was a massive ravine in the center of the mountain range that was completely barren and lifeless.
