anwhile,
A presence entered inside the main sect room where Xian Tian was.
She was none other than Lady Fuyu.
"You seem to be stronger than I expected... Who are you?" Lady Fuyu asked with her eyes turning cold.
In an instant, The atmosphere turned oppressive.
Lady Fuyu holds a deep secret and it's not wise to not take her seriously, not even for Xian Tian.
Stay Alert.
She has a weird presence, she is a Rendrid mage.
'Redndrid mage?' Xian Tian was confused suddenly hearing Black Dragon's voice.
I have known her for years, don't take her loosely, you might actually get sucked.
The Dragon warned.
Rendrid Mage are also known as Devil worshippers just like Jin from before.
However Rendrid mages are highly powerful and can control their peace of mind and avoid being sucked into madness.
They also have a high level of spiritual powers and origin-sucking ability.
"I see... Madam Fuyu has graced with her beautiful presence, you are as beautiful as rumour speaks," Xian Tian said completely forgetting about the general that is trying hard to break the barrier.
"Stop with flattery... Such words are aningless to ," She said while she took a seat in front of him.
"I suppose..." Xian Tian nodded his head because few won don't like to live in the fake world of flattery.
Lady Fuyu looked at him from up to down, it was her who had actually placed an assassination on Xian Tian.
Why?
Only God knows why.
---
As Lady Fuyu seated herself with an aura that seed to weigh down the entire room, Xian Tian noticed the subtle tension in her gaze.
Her expression was impassive, but he felt as if she were sizing him up, evaluating his every move, every breath.
The stillness settled like a challenge, daring him to break it... Was she analyzing him?
He was surprised and confused.
Anyway,
"Madam Fuyu," Xian Tian spoke slowly, his voice calm yet calculated.
"I can sense a certain... hostility beneath that composed deanor. May I ask what have I done to earn such intensity?"
She tilted her head slightly, a faint smirk playing on her lips.
"You know, I don't often waste my ti eting people face-to-face. But you....." her tone sharpened as she paused.
"...have proven to be an exceptional disturbance," she continued
Xian Tian raised an eyebrow, hiding his amusent wondering what wrong have he did.
The only thing he might have done is sowhat playing cards in previous cuck sect master going to mountains and beco a monk.
"Disturbance? I wouldn't have guessed I have managed to ruffle your feathers just by existing," Discover exclusive tales on empire
Her smirk faded, and her eyes turned cold as ice.
"You misunderstand. It is not your existence, but your persistence. I had anticipated... fewer complications." Her hand traced invisible patterns on the table between them, almost as if she were sifting through mories.
Xian Tian caught on instantly.
"So you were the one who sent the assassins," His voice was steady, but there was a glint of challenge in his eyes.
"I would almost begin to wonder who held such a grudge against ,"
Lady Fuyu leaned back, fingers steepled, her gaze never wavering.
"I wouldn't call it a grudge. Just a precautionary asure. n like you, with ambitions as lofty as yours, are bound to disrupt certain… balances,"
"Balances," Xian Tian spoke out, understanding more than he let on.
He was playing with fire, but he couldn't resist.
Not to ntion, she was hot.
Yeah!!!
"Haha! And yet, you're here speaking to directly. Does that an the… 'balance' has shifted?" Xian Tian added with a small laugh.
Lady Fuyu's eyes darkened, and for the first ti, Xian Tian caught a glimpse of the power that lay behind her calm facade.
It was ancient, dangerous, and unwavering.
The devil mages that can suck soone's origin from thought.
Esss!!! Dangerous.
"Do not mistake this as leniency," she said, her voice like ice.
"Consider it a warning. For now, the balance remains intact. But should you cross it again, I will not hesitate to tip the scales myself,"
Xian Tian leaned forward, eting her gaze without fear.
"I appreciate the warning. However, I have never been one to walk within the confines of others' expectations,"
The dots were connecting.
It seems she was angry because Jin was killed.
"If I am not mistaken... Lady Fuyu seems to be angry because I killed the devil worshipper nad Jin," He revealed what was in his mind.
"You are correct... You have not only killed him but even destroyed the Devil heart that I have planted in him," She spoke with a cold tone.
Devil's heart!?
Ahh! Xian Tian recalls destroying each and everything so, there may have been devil heart.
However it seems Jin was a pawn in bigger ga that was guarding the devil heart.
---
Devil heart is a special magical heart just like Dao heart which can grant people the power to escape fate and destroy the balance.
So, hypothetically speaking Lady Fuyu is the one destroying the balance but Xian Tian was destroying her balance and plan.
---
Xian Tian held back a smirk as realization dawned.
The pieces were aligning one by one.
Lady Fuyu's interest wasn't just in his existence, but in the disruption he had unknowingly caused, and now he is interested in what the actual fuck is this.
"So," he said, letting the silence thicken before his words sliced through, "it seems I interfered in sothing far more complex than a re feud. Jin was your... pawn. And that Devil Heart, a centerpiece in your grand sche,"
Lady Fuyu's eyes narrowed.
"Indeed. Jin was nothing more than a tool, a vessel ant to carry the Devil Heart until it was ripe. You shattered that plan and cost a great deal more than you realize,"
Xian Tian chuckled, unbothered by her piercing gaze because at the end he missed the part where it was his problem.
"Fascinating. Yet, here I am, unscathed by whatever balance you speak of... I must have struck a nerve if it's enough to bring you here in person,"
Her expression remained cold, but he detected the flicker of sothing darker beneath... perhaps resentnt, perhaps a threat.
"You tread on dangerous ground, Xian Tian," she warned, her voice low like a ghost.
"The Devil Heart wasn't rely a tool. It was a tether to a power beyond this realm and ans for my ascension, Its destruction ans you've crossed paths with forces beyond your understanding,"
"Ohhh!?" Xian Tian finally connected all the puzzles and the picture was clear.
Logically her plan to kill him is totally justifiable since he has destroyed her ans of ascension.
She must have work hard for that Devil heart if it could actually ascend her.
"I see... But make no mistake, I didn't planned to actually go against beautiful won such as you," he said lightly without making much effort to make it seem like he actually ant it.
Lady Fuyu remained unmoved, the corners of her lip twitching in annoyance at his attempt to be charming with such a low level of acting.
"You can drop the act," she said, her voice as sharp as a blade. "It will get you nowhere with ,"
It was stupid of Xian Tian to even act in such way.
Anyone who practice Dao can easily tell how precious the treasure are which can help soone to ascend.
"Well, my apologies. It's hard not to take pause when faced with such beauty, but I'll set aside the flattery for now," Xian Tian said with a smile that held a touch of mockery.
"Anyway... I am sorry for what happened..." There was awkward silence as he uttered those half hearted apology.
However, Lady Fuyu scoffed at his half hearted apology, her gaze never wavering.
"Spare your empty words," she replied coldly. "Your faux remorse ans little when you show no true regret for the damage your actions have caused,"
"I see... So, I wonder why is Lady Fuyu here, and since you are willing to reveal so much, I expect you are not here alone,"
Xian Tian ran his mind.
After all, no one would co forward so easily.
"Quick to catch on... I am indeed not alone," she responded but didn't order her 'bodyguard' to appear instantly.
"Ohh!?" Xian Tian was impressed with this 'soone'.
Not only can it hide its presence but also remain silent when knowing Lady Fuyu has connection with devil.
Morally having a connection with the Devil is not accepted and is frowned upon.
Wait... What is that soone is also demon?
Hmm, that make quite the sense if that soone is also the devil.
But the question still remains sa, why was she here?
She doesn't seem to be looking trouble anymore but there was also no actual reason to co here.
