Today is the day to and that disgrace. Indeed, they were weak, it was their mistake to oppose the strong, but now things are different. If history is written by the strong, then today they will be the ones to write it.
Lawrence performs the usual daily act, believing there would be no mistakes.
He regrets the cursed fact that these won haven't changed at all.
"Coldness Divine... What are you doing here?!"
Coldness Divine is sitting quietly watching him, she is the only one in the house. Neither Serene Will nor Sky Petal are anywhere to be found. Even if he searched for them throughout White Utopia City, he fears there would only be one place to find them!
"You were supposed to be with them when they faced the Eternal Wind Sect!"
The disciple who stole from them right under their noses, today Lawrence hoped to destroy all traces of his pride in front of all his fellow disciples, to pay for trying to kill him! But, without Coldness Divine, who would be there when everything has been ruined?
"She wanted revenge for herself, I'm not interested in ddling in others' affairs."
She casually responds to her husband's words as if the death of the first wife was not important.
"Even though she took Sky Petal with her, she will be the only one to enter that sect."
"Damn it, that was not what we agreed upon. It was my mistake to have trusted her word! I forgot that these won value their pride more than their own lives!"
Lawrence openly curses, and Coldness Divine just smiles while resting her cheek on her hand. Whatever the outco today, she does not plan to regress.
She is fed up with this damn group being sustained solely by her innate ability.
If Serene Will dies, it ans she was always useless!
White Utopia City, a branch of the Eternal Wind Sect. Divine Plane.
The Eternal Wind Sect is the sect with the most stable foundations in the Heavenly Path Kingdom, because its foundations are so difficult to practice that, at the end of the teaching, all its disciples achieve a strength whose limit is the sky.
One of its most important branches dominates White Utopia City, with no other branch from any other sect.
Outside this city live demonic beasts between levels 400 and 550, but the probability of finding rarities is much higher than in other cities.
If lucky, a hunter can beco rich in a single day if they hunt a unique demonic beast, whose materials can easily sell for millions. But where treasures dwell, misfortune also resides. The probability of dying in this city is much higher than in any other. This is what makes it so special, because by turning it into a sharpening stone, sothing much more important than money is obtained.
This is just one of the reasons.
The other reason why the Eternal Wind Sect dominates in White Utopia City and why its disciples remain despite having surpassed their level limits, is because of its borders. It is the city closest to the capital and if one advances carefully, it is possible to find demonic beasts between levels 550 to 650 without the danger posed by the capital.
In front of the entrance to the sect branch, a woman with a long jet-black braid stops.
Serene Will.
"The recruitnt period has ended." One of the gatekeepers speaks proudly, but whose sense of belonging to the sect has not clouded his mind. "If your motivation is different, wait here. The entrance of strangers to the sect is forbidden."
Serene Will removes a paper from her storage ring and hands it to the gatekeeper. He opens it and frowns at the lack of content within.
"The words will only be revealed to the recipient."
She smiles calmly and reveals the reason for her arrival. "Give my ssage to inner disciple Decaying Fla and tell him that I desire a duel with him. I'm sure the Eternal Wind Sect does not reject duels, does it?"
The gatekeeper snorts and opens the great doors, after delivering the ssage to a subordinate, he returns to his duty of protecting the entrance to the sect.
In the majestic territory of the Eternal Wind Sect, a disciple stops in front of a residence.
"Senior disciple, a woman wishes to duel with you."
In the spacious backyard, a man is sitting on a rock watching the fish. Upon hearing the disciple's words, he sighs.
"You know my etiquette, I will not accept the challenge of a woman."
This man is none other than Decaying Fla, the inner disciple of the Eternal Wind Sect. His clothing denotes the aura of nobility, besides his charm and beauty, the next quality that stands out are the daggers he carries on his waist.
Weapons that would easily make rankers fight to the death for them.
"I know, that's why I've co only to deliver this woman's ssage to you."
The disciple adds so of his mana to the paper, and it flies over the residence. It is Decaying Fla who moves his hand, and it appears instantly between his fingers.
The words mysteriously gather on the paper and reveal her ssage.
[Core of Archaic Ruin.]
Decaying Fla destroys the paper and walks briskly towards the disciple, the expression on his face seems usual, but under this layer of deception lies a feeling of unrest.
'Who?! How is it possible that this information was leaked?'
The only ones who knew about this were him and those won, but the little treasures in that place should have been enough to silence them.
"I wish to speak privately with her, after that we'll see about the duel."
"I'll convey your ssage."
The disciple moves away promptly and returns just as quickly.
"She does not wish to speak with you, she only wants a duel."
Decaying Fla clenches his teeth. He wishes to resolve this issue peacefully, but the other party insists on seeing their faces in the arena. If it were under other circumstances, this problem would have ended here, he would use this as an excuse to reject the duel of a woman, but this problem goes far beyond a duel!
"Reserve the dueling platform."
"Yes, senior disciple."
He is not afraid to accept a challenge, especially when he has the backing of his sect. If that woman has malicious intentions, he will use his power to obtain all the information possible about her.
When both step onto the platform, the news of the duel between the inner disciple Decaying Fla and an unknown woman spreads to all corners of the sect.
In a secluded place, where only the most prominent beings are allowed to enter, two elders are chatting while playing a mysterious board ga. At first glance, it seems that their fingers position small pieces, but when they touch the board, an extraordinary change happens. An illusion, a mirage, whatever it may be, it's the movents of these pieces that rule over this tiny illusory world.
The residence is located in the center of a lake, the perfect place to play.
After making his move, one of them says: "The sect master plans to announce his retirent."
This man appears to be over 60 years old, with long white hair and a beard, but it's his golden eyes that attract the attention of anyone who looks at him. He is an elder of the Eternal Wind Sect, Frenzied Purity.
"I've heard the rumors. Although they have always existed, in this decade they have been more pronounced than before."
The one who responds is a man who appears to be of similar age to elder Frenzied Purity, but unlike him, he has short black hair with very few gray hairs on each side of his head, along with green eyes, he is a very handso man despite his advanced age. Additionally, he smiles very often.
He is also an elder of the sect, his na is Dire Passage.
"The ancestors do not wish for geezers like us to inherit the position of sect master. They favor the next generation."
Dire Passage makes his move and then regrets it, he moved it hastily. "Indeed."
Elder Frenzied Purity openly smiles and begins the attack, but it wouldn't be long before he wrinkles his nose at falling into the trap. His opponent smiles as if his previous lant was nothing but a ruse.
From that mont on, the casual ga becos serious, thinking carefully before making a move. Neither of the two wanting to lose face.
It is then that soone softly falls from the sky and stands behind elder Frenzied Purity. This is a man with golden hair and blue eyes, the aura surrounding him is inscrutable, despite his high position in the sect he maintains his righteousness.
Dire Passage evaluates him for a mont and then nods. "For your disciple to have reached level 850 is an achievent to be proud of."
"Hahaha, the talent of my disciple allowed him to reach these heights, anyone in his place would have given up long ago... But my disciple is not the only outstanding one, I have heard very good words about yours. How high are his goals?"
Elder Dire Passage understands perfectly the hidden aning of this old decrepit, but he will have to disappoint him.
"My disciple has no intention of inheriting the position of sect master, his only desire is to continue training. Hah, he has eyes for nothing else."
He sighs, if only his disciple had a more ambitious goal, his perspectives would widen. Dire Passage changes the subject and looks at his ga partner.
"Your disciple must have sothing to say, don't make him wait any longer."
"Oh, right." Frenzied Purity strokes his beard pretending to rember. "Chaotic Dispersion, I hope what you have to say is important enough to interrupt my ga."
"I promise not to disappoint you, master."
The disciple Chaotic Dispersion smiles and does not change his attitude in the face of his master's reproach, "The junior disciple is currently engaged in a duel, I thought this might interest the master and elder Dire Passage."
"A duel?"
"Yes. Although I do not know the details, it is quite unusual for the junior disciple to face a woman. Perhaps there is sothing we do not know."
"A woman eh."
The interest of elder Frenzied Purity disappears upon hearing that the opponent is a woman, knowing that his disciple has a weakness for won, he will not face her with all his strength. Elder Dire Passage, aware of this, stands up from his seat.
"What is the aning of thinking big if small details prevent progress?"
Elder Frenzied Purity's deanor instantly ruins, ‘Do you think my disciple will lose just because he holds back? Ha!’
"Although he still has a lot to learn, his possibilities are unlimited."
He stands up from his seat and asks Chaotic Dispersion to lead the way. "Let's go, let's see how much my disciple has grown."
His arrogance was sky-high, but it plumted to the ground after arriving at the location and realizing that the challenger is at a lower level than Decaying Fla. He wanted to scold his disciple for interrupting him over this, but his gaze said he didn't think this would happen either.
"Oh"
But what surprises him is not the battle on the platform, but seeing that elder Dire Passage showed interest.
"Have you seen sothing in that woman?"
Dire Passage only smiled.
