Town of Liverea (2)

"Cage of despair."

-Ding!

The time seemingly stop, an red bird cage suddenly appeared on all shadow on the area. Suprisingly, there was many shadow appeared at the forest. But they are bound by cage, terrified and cold sweat apear on their face.

They look at the young man at the tallest tree on this small forest, he was at the top of the tree seemingly look interested to what he see. He was cold and indifferent, he has no innocently that his age has. Rather, mature, mature that's aura that feels like an immortal cultivator that live countless life or death situations. He was tall, around 183 cm. (6f) And an beautiful face that can captivate even the whole country, but not the world ofc. This world is vast.

They thought it was an old senior who was cultivated in the forest and this senior is atleast spirit lord level so they pay their respect even when their face's filled with terror. "We pay respect into this senior." As they cupped their hands respectively, they look at what reaction this senior would give them. This was Yu Yan ofc.

As they expected, he didn't even move he just look at them with an indifferent and cold expression, accuracy even calling him an cold is injustice. Because its like an monolith that stares at their bottom of their humanity, no secrets have been not known.

"Calling me an senior is disrespectful." As he calmly look at the shadow, their expression change, with a wave of his hand he killed them without mercy. Yu Yan would not spare them even if they had an endless chance. He look at the beautiful girl under the tree with her wide open mouth and fear emerge from her face, she thought Yu Yan was an old pervert cultivator who will do malicious intent towards her because of her look. To her suprise, he didn't even gave her a glance as he looked at the weapons that the shadows left behind, as for how they died, they died from Despair. He look at them curiously, then he became happy from his heart, because he found out that he is from cultivation world and not other world, meaning most of his technique will work. Actually he found it out just a moment, he just want to verified it.

As for how he found out, he sneak out and watched the shadows that chasing the female, so he found out that they are using spirit core. (He didn't know spirit powers and the cultivation level because he didn't know this was cultivation world.) As for why he helped her, it was not because she was a beauty or something. She is just.. usefull regarding his situations.

Looking at my back, the girl frowned. Although she was scared that'll do anything to survive, she didn't know this mysterious expert didn't even glance at her. Since child she was publicly known as No.1 beauty to the country of jin. She was like a princess, even the handsome prince are obsessed with her. So she didn't understand why a man would not take a single glance at her, treating as she was nothing. It hurt her pride. Just as she was about to walk to thanks and leave, she heard the voice that made her involuntary shiver.

"Tell me everything about this world." An cold yet attracted voice. She was dumbfounded, but quickly think maybe this man is in seclusion and didn't know anything about anything in this world. It's quit common.

"Uhhm... I guess?.." She said in a weak tone, but you can see she was still terrified. She thinks after this confrontation, he will do something to her.

"Follow me." Yu Yan said, still indifferent. As he walk towards the forest he couldn't stop thinking about what happened, 'it seems like this girl is an important figure, so maybe I'll get an information.'

Although he is not giving anyone mercy, he has bottom line, what's the point of the challenge of the system if even greed, lust, sloth, wrath, pride, envy, and gluttony, will affect his emotion, mind, and the way he move?

In this world where's strong eat the weak, and weak will be stepping stone. You need an moral. Even the if you're strongest in the world, if you get influenced by an unknown greed, and walk towards the path of destruction.
