Chapter 68: Against the world or whatever, we'll walk together (5).

ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

" Luna, where is the Red Frost Sect Leader ?"

" The Sect Leader is supposed to come out of training seclusion today, my lord ."

Even though she was female, Leon referred to her as "he" instead .

On the second floor, Leon was sitting indifferently in the luxurious room .

The hostess, Luna, was standing beside him, holding a bundle of black papers .

On the other side of the table, the tavern master was sitting meekly, while Old Man Qiu was staring at Leon without blinking .

Fine food and wine were on the table .

Leon ate greedily, but he did not touch the wine or take a sip .

" Kwaaaah~ This is life !"

He was holding a large steak and chewing it ferociously as if he hadn't eaten for a week .

Why does he look so barbaric ?

Leon covered in blood while eating with boundless gluttony, his appearance was definitely 'unseemly '.

The two swallowed as they stared at each other strangely .

Even though he was eating savagely, the thoughts in his mind were racing like lightning .

Lightning and Storm Wolves are about to fight in a few months .

The actual reason for their entry into the war was not important now .

The important thing is that there is a bloody conflict about to happen .

" Win or lose, war is nothing more than a disaster ."

Of course, Leon wasn't so foolish as to seek a large-scale war, if this happened, how exactly could he fight in the Great Disaster ?

The plan was simple actually, he just had to kill those who deserved to die, and keep those who deserved to survive .

The Lightning and Storm Wolves' entry into an all-out conflict will affect other places, causing conflicts to become entangled .

Even if the academy director was a mighty force, with the Hardian Clan and the Sol Clan restricting him left and right, he couldn't interfere too much .

His reputation was the pillar of his strength, but at the same time, his reputation was the chains of his weakness .

The movements of the leaders were things that the whole world watched, they could not move freely .

Chaos on Moon Island was something Cairo and Nanman's supporters desperately wanted to see, it was—after all—in their best interest .

In fact, more than that, they will pour wood on the fire, causing an even bigger mess .

Of course, there will be those who don't want that to happen, but who cares ?

Only the strongest can impose their beliefs and force the world to obey .

Whether you are good or bad, you need strength in order to be heard .

Leon... did not like this conflict, because it conflicted with his interests and plans .

Of course, he was not weak and could not impose his beliefs .

Unlike most people …

He wasn't a person bound by people, things, or emotions .

Whether it was his reputation or whatever, his own desires were of utmost priority over everything else .

Even if it means "bringing chaos ".

Anyway, it would be a major war if things were left to go as most people expected .

But when that course of events is destroyed ?

Things will turn upside down .

" Dear Sir …"

" Shut up "

When the tavern master opened his mouth to say something, Leon immediately silenced him .

Leon's focus wasn't on the outside world, his eyes were flashing as he sorted through the data in his mind .

His expression looked like a ferocious beast .

fun …

Imagine what might happen, chaos everywhere, what they will do will bring trouble .

Dangers from all directions, fun, fun, just fun !

A bloodthirsty laugh distorted Leon's expression .

This overwhelming momentum made everyone completely silent .

" Dio is supposed to bring the head of the Black Dreams Ghost and kill all the bandits before sunrise, Raph will tame the lizard that will evolve in the lava, while he tames the elf and red dwarf tribes ."

" Loki will take control of the Oblivion Flame Sect after slaughtering the traitors there, Lloyd has to exterminate the Flying Serpent Tribe in the Thousand Poison Swamp and extract the rampaging beasts in order to use their corpses as reinforcements …"

He stretched his hand into the air, and shapes that looked like pictures appeared in the air .

A 3D map of the five areas surrounding the academy appeared out of nowhere .

There were black and red dots moving across the huge map across the areas .

On the small mountain, the number of black dots was enormous, but only 4 red dots were present, and outside the mountain, there were a large number of red dots heading towards the mountain .

In the red metal volcano, the red dot was moving around at an incredible speed, while black dots were disappearing everywhere the single red dot went .

In the Thousand Poison Swamp, the black dots were gathered in one place facing two small red dots, while the other red dots were heading deeper to reinforce the two dots .

In the Black Crescent City, black and red dots were intertwined in a deadly struggle .

Leon moved his hands across the map floating in the air, everywhere he pressed, new red dots appeared .

In the northern forest, in the academy, on the east coast, mountains, rivers, caves …

Then finally, in the cold city of Kaituna, the black dots were so numerous, only one red dot was present in the middle .

He moved his left hand forward, making the map expand .

The details of the houses and buildings were clear and precise, even black dots could be seen wandering the streets .

The signs on the areas and the names of the areas were numerous .

This was the simulation map Ego .

The function of this map was to draw a realistic layout of the area imagined by the mind and to simulate according to different possibilities at the same time .

This ego is common for sect leaders, as they would use it when there was a disaster of monster attack or war against certain enemies .

After looking carefully at the map, Leon drew an X on several places on the map .

After finishing, Leon withdrew his hand, causing the map to become smaller and return to its original shape .

Leon gave the ego to Luna and continued his speech .

" As for me, I will slaughter the Red Frost Sect Leader, and eliminate the slave trade and prostitution, leaving us room to expand our influence here. Is that all, Luna ?"

" Yes, my lord ."

Leon hummed a little and nodded in agreement .

" Well, that doesn't matter, I'm thirsty now ~"

When Leon said that, the hostess stared at the drinks on the table, and instead of starting to pour for Leon, her eyes turned cold .

" Oh, respected barman… take this wine out of my sight, my lord, before you regret it for the rest of your life ."

Intent to kill.

Of course, that means a thirst for blood, whether it is the blood of a relative or a stranger, it is the same in all cases .

The desire to cut off the other person's breathing, the desire to make him close his eyes forever .

When the aura flows from the body in a powerful way, when the will is mixed with the aura, it can be used in a certain way .

The aura emitted by pure intentions can sweep away the environment like a natural disaster .

It was just like what Loki did in the Oblivion Flame Sect building, he only poured out his energy essence and turned the environment into the ice path essence, causing the air to turn into a sea of ice .

These were pure intentions, focused on transforming pure energy into a certain form and law .

The law that Loki applied was the law of ice, as his law states that in winter the air will turn into cold water, and then that cold water will become ice .

This was the law of pure will and energy .

But the malicious intent was more focused on emotions and thoughts, and more precisely, the malicious intent targeted the survival instinct .

Malicious intent aims to terrorize and unbalance the mind, which means that malicious intent is, more or less, a mental attack .

When malicious intent became bloodlust, hatred and experience were important factors, the more hatred, the greater the bloodlust .

That bloodlust turns into an aura, that aura attacks the enemy, that's how it is .

In some cases, an unprotected person's mind can even be broken by bloodlust alone, causing their death .

At this moment, host Luna was calmly holding her fan .

She was waving the fan at herself elegantly .

But, in contrast to this calmness in her actions, the atmosphere around her was filled with tyranny .

The bloodlust that surrounded her aura was pressuring the mind of the Frost Wine Inn's master .

He didn't back down and tried to resist, but her aura was overwhelming him .

This bitch... stronger than me ?

He gritted his teeth and tried to maintain his pride as a leader, but his mind was being damaged by this immense bloodlust .

While...while I've made a mistake, is this wine not enough ?

Feeling dizzy and scared, he tried to understand his mistake, and concluded that the drink was not good enough for Leon's taste .

" Yes! That's it! That's definitely the answer! There's no way someone this powerful would be satisfied with such a humble wine, I was really an idiot !"

He thought quickly, then hit his forehead hard on the table .

"… My esteemed sir! This humble fellow sincerely apologizes for his unforgivable mistake! I will immediately prepare a drink worthy of a gentleman !"

When he spoke, the previous bloodlust disappeared, and Hostess Luna stood with an indifferent expression .

" You obviously didn't understand anything, most likely, you think the quality of the wine is low for me, am I right ?"

As the innkeeper was speaking sincerely for Leon to forgive him, he was interrupted by the young boy's voice .

The bartender was a bit taken aback, but replied, "…the gentleman is right ."

" Ha! That's why I don't like these wicked alcoholics, wine this, wine that! You! Tell me, do you have a wife or a daughter ?"

He saw that he might die if he lied, so he confessed: "… I am not married, but I have a daughter -.."

" Don't finish, most likely, you two met somewhere, and in the heat of the moment it happened, but because of reputation, you abandoned her and ran away, tsk tsk! You saying that your daughter is still alive, maybe because you feel guilty ?"

"… I don't know what the gentleman is saying -"

" Shut up! You bitch who can't even raise his own daughter, wine? What? Wine he said! I'm seventeen you bastard! Give me some juice you son of a bitch !"

For some reason, Leon was angry and shouted at the head of the Frost Wine Inn .

The bartender stared at him silently, unable to keep up with what was happening .

This kid... why is he so smart ?

But his rotten personality, if he was weak, the bar owner would have killed him with just a slap, but what a pity, he's not like that !

Unfortunately for him, this bad boy came to him from all places .

" Did you know… a child can deal with the death of their parents faster than anyone would think, passionate love can fade into the unknown too, but ..."

Leon stared at the bar manager calmly, his eyes flashing with a mysterious light .

But does it apply to a father who lost his daughter ?

Those words caused a cold shiver to run down the innkeeper's body .

He couldn't speak, he had no choice but not to speak .

His body was shaking slightly .

It's scary, this monster is definitely scary .

Leon's words were true, he had a commoner's daughter, but due to his circumstances, he couldn't raise her in public, he was a gang leader and had enemies .

Impossible... How could he be the same age as my daughter ?

A cold silence reigned over the place .

Then at that moment .

Leon stared at the bar manager as if he didn't understand, then asked, "What are you waiting for ?"

The bar manager's breathing was heavy, sweat was pouring out of him profusely .

Leon didn't care about that, and spoke in a clear tone, "Go and get me my juice, quickly ."

" Waitress- I asked the waitress to bring the best non-alcoholic juice for Mr.- "

Slap !

While he was talking, a strong slap came to his face from nowhere .

" Are you a monkey? a monkey who doesn't understand human words ?"

" But, sir- "

Slap! Slap !

This time, he got two slaps from the right and the left .

" Old man "

" … Yes "

" Go "

the Bar manager : "….."

" quickly "

"… yes "

The bar owner held his swollen face as he felt both wronged and terrified, but he quickly hurried outside .

" Well, shall we begin now ?"

Leon smiled lightly .

" Luna, the brats will arrive any minute, go and bring them here ."

" Yes "

The hostess used her ego, transforming into rays of light that moved and penetrated the wall at an extremely high speed .

Only Leon and Old Man Qiu remained in the place .

" Well… Old Man, tell me about your sect leader, what kind of person is he ?"

From the beginning to the end, Old Man Qiu had been analyzing Leon's actions and trying to understand this person .

He didn't understand much, but there was one thing he understood from the map .

He was aware of the areas he had marked with an X.

In this city, there were places of illegal markets and slave trade, not to mention other things .

This person… If he was this powerful, and had information on top of that, what kind of end would Old Man Qiu have met if he was on his sect's side ?

This possibility is not worth trying to understand .

"… the sect leader, she is a very calculating and cold-hearted person, and does not hesitate when it comes to her interests ."

The information that Old Man Qiu was going to tell was not widely known .

It was about the secret of the Red Frost Sect Leader, her weak point that he was holding onto, making her unable to do anything against him .

" She is the worst person I have ever known. In order to increase her strength, she used her husband's body and absorbed his blood essence, causing her to refine the Blood Frost Ego ."

" Contrary to what was said that her husband died due to the backlash when they were polishing that ego, she had killed quite a few witnesses to cover it up ."

" Even the trade in young girls was just a disguise, as this Blood Frost Ego needed the blood of young girls in order to increase his strength ."

Leon's expression didn't change, he just listened quietly .

His calmness made Old Man Qiu feel inwardly terrified .

Is my information not enough ?

This isn't good !

Old Man Qiu opened his mouth and said everything he knew about the Sect Leader, from unimportant information like her taste, to important information like her extensive dealings and transactions .

When Old Man Qiu finished speaking, his throat felt dry .

" So to sum it up, her biggest weakness is her daughter. She killed her husband, but she has unconditional love for her daughter… Unknown to anyone, that daughter of hers has a disease that you gave her, and if you die, the daughter will die with you… Everyone thinks that you are not the one who caused the disease either ."

Interesting, really interesting !

" Hahaha, even though you're in an unenviable position, you still took such a big risk !"

" All this so that you won't be killed as a witness, and at the same time enjoy the benefits, precisely because of this, you rose through the ranks and became this powerful, now you have established yourself as an indispensable force in the sect, amazing, just amazing !"

I like this old man !

" Old man!" Leon's eyes shone brightly, "It would be a waste to kill you! What do you think, if you follow me, not only will you survive, but you will also get your hands on a tremendous power !"

His enthusiastic momentum made Old Man Qiu stare at him for a while .

But this confusion did not last long, he laughed heartily as he replied, "Hahaha! This old man will accept the king's words whole heartedly !"

In the luxurious room, an old man and a young boy were laughing heartily .

While outside, a huge chaos was brewing and about to explode .

" My lord, the Dusk Blade has brought them ."

" Come in "

After a few minutes, while Leon was giving Old Man Qiu instructions, Luna entered with the other four .

" kyoo! I'm dying! Where's the juice !?"

Logan ran towards the food as fast as he could, he didn't hesitate and started eating like a beast .

" Hello, Sahyung ."

" Leon, has the fun started yet or not ?"

Although Stella and Kang-woo were talking calmly, the food was still tightly crammed into their mouths .

" Hehe, yes, eat a lot, my beautiful children ."

Leon's smile was the most beautiful in the world .

This scene made them terrified .

"… we are going to die "

" that motherfucker, Even the devil has some shame ."

" At least I'll die full ."

The three stared at each other, as if the world was unfair .

Leon's smile only meant one thing, they would work themselves to death .

" Chun Yue, go to the headquarters quickly, everyone will attack according to Hyung Moon Sahyung's instructions ."

" Luna, you are going to destroy the slave auction house and use the security forces to get the legal justification ."

" Okay, my lord ."

" Hearing and obeying "

Leon gave the orders and gave Chun Yue a golden colored Ego, this Ego was important for future plans, it must be delivered quickly to Hyung Moon Sahyung .

Also, even though Leon was the king of the sect, he treated the White Mask Ghost and the others as his own Sahyung .

Leon's position existed solely to direct chess pieces and major events .

As far as sectarian politics were concerned, others were in charge, as they had much work to do .

Leon didn't want to restrict himself, locking him in such things is like locking a tiger in a cage .

Anyway, Leon stood up, it was time to get to work .

" Logan, Kang Woo, Stella, the old man, let's go. "

It wasn't the time to drink, blood would flow.

Didn't the drink always taste better after bloodshed ?

" Let's go, Kang Woo, Logan ."

Stella stood holding the dual swords .

" This old man… isn't he the second strongest member of the Red Frost Sect ?"

" It's really him ."

Logan and Kang-woo were a little surprised, what is such a person doing here ?

Old Man Qiu's expression was cold, but he internally recognized them, and he was a little surprised .

"… Are the major clans starting to interfere in the island's affairs? But who exactly is this kid? Why is he so powerful? Why have I never heard of him before ?"

Old Man Qiu's heart grew more apprehensive, but he didn't show it .

All eyes turned to Leon .

Leon smiled lightly and did not speak, everything went according to plan .

" Now all that remains is …"

Bam !

His body floated in the air, he reached out and destroyed the wall .

His body was dripping with bloodlust .

" Behead the leader of this city !"

He didn't wait for the others, he immediately went at a breakneck speed towards the Red Frost Sect building .

" Let's go quickly !"

" Hahaha !"

" Sect Leader… Today we will finally part ways ."

Swoosh !

Old Man Qiu flew by movement Ego, the others used lightning boots and jumped over buildings .

ــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

Red Frost Sect, Training Hall .

A woman with white hair mixed with red floated in the air, her silver eyes were shining and inside them was what looked like a block of blue ice .

The sect elders on the other side had miserable appearances, blood flowing profusely, some of them had frozen bodies, some were trembling with fear .

But what overcame fear was… reverence and devotion .

Even though they were defeated with a single move, even though the move was extremely difficult due to the severe injury, the reverence never disappeared .

They stood pitifully and clasped their hands towards the sect leader, their thunderous cries in unison .

" We are happy that the sun of our sect is in the best of health !!"

The Red Frost Sect Leader, whose name was Bai Yun, smiled calmly, then extended her hand into the air .

[ the Second Moon Ego, the Fifth Star: Breezes of Healing Frost ]

Suddenly, a cold wind blew through the place .

But this cold wind made everyone feel warm, the feeling was very comfortable .

The ice and blood on their bodies disappeared like a mirage, the severe wounds were healing quickly .

Then in a few breaths, everyone was completely healed .

" We thank the sect leader for her good intentions !!"

No one forgot to show their deep respect, but they were internally cursing their luck .

This shameless bitch...she's gotten stronger !

When Bai Yun was in seclusion, with Old Man Qiu guiding her from behind the scenes, the greed of the Senate grew even more intense .

They even tried to marry her daughter to one of their children so that he would inherit the position of leader, since if any female in the sect married before she became at least a sheikha, she could not compete for the position of sect leader .

But the idea was suppressed with Bai Yun's exit, although they were disgruntled, with her strength increasing, who could rebel ?

Unless there were forces equal to her, they would never risk it, so in order to avoid her wrath later, they volunteered to be her training puppets in order to show their loyalty .

I let you hit me as you wished, I even risked my death, what do you think of my loyalty, it's deep right ?

Hahaha, now, you have nothing against me !

Bai Yun was smiling, the thoughts of these old men were not hidden from her .

" This old man, he's really good at what he does, if he wasn't the only one who could cure my daughter, he would already be dead, not to mention he's so useful that I could simply get rid of him… He was the one who supported me since I was little, and yet I …"

Bai Yun sighed to herself, many times, life was complicated, and required one to make sacrifices .

It's too late to regret it already .

The relationship between her and Old Man Qiu was tangled, there was respect and hatred, there was affection and competitive desire, and perhaps even one-sided love .

Well, it's time to meet my daughter after a long time .

After looking at the elders for a while, Bai Yun walked out of the hall and headed towards the building where her daughter lived .

Unknown to her, the old man she was competing with had already betrayed her .

" Sago! The sect leader is calling for you !"

Inside the girls' dorm, Bai Yiren was sitting and absorbing Ego Stones .

The students around her were looking at her with admiration, and no one bothered her .

When she opened her eyes, one of the younger students called out to her .

"… coming "

Her expression was indifferent, as if she was looking down on everything .

Her white hair fluttered in the wind, her blue eyes were heavenly, shining like gems, she walked elegantly outside .

Everywhere she went, whether male or female, she caught their eye .

" Twelfth generation disciple, leader of the younger generation, Bai Yiren, greets the sect leader ."

She arrived in front of the sect leader's building, knelt on one foot and saluted respectfully .

" You can come in "

A beautiful voice came from inside, as she took permission, Bai Yiren entered .

Inside, there were only Bai Yun and Bai Yiren, the two of them staring at each other coldly, no one speaking .

Bai Yun drank the tea quietly, she spoke first, "How is your training going lately? "

" It's okay, I broke through the fourth star a few days ago, thank you for asking, Sect Leader ."

" There's no need for formality here, no one is watching ."

"… Well, Mom, Mom! This is annoying! How long are they going to bother me like this ?"

When permission was given, Bai Yiren's cold expression melted, and a complaint immediately came out of her mouth .

Ever since her mother went into training isolation, she had been pestered about marriage, if it weren't for Uncle Qiu curing her of her illness every so often, she might have been forced into marriage already .

This was the extent of the power of the Senate, their existence was suppressing the authority of the entire Sect Leader, and because of Old Man Qiu, the Senate had even greater legitimacy .

But without him, would the sect have become this powerful ?

In the end, everything has its pros and cons .

" Don't worry, my daughter, everything will be fine ."

The daughter hugged her mother, her voice worried: "Really ?"

" Yes, I will make things okay ."

The place was silent, and as she hugged her daughter, Bai Yun's expression turned cold .

A bad obsession hit her .

Not a good feeling at all .

She didn't know why, but she felt scared, but it didn't matter .

Whatever the enemy is …

I will kill... anyone who touches her .

She hugged her daughter more warmly .
