There were eight masters in the cult. Five of them were n and three of them were won. n had only female disciples under them while females only had male disciples under them. One of them was Mistress Song Lihui, the second female master.
She was the strongest one in the cult according to the people of the cult. If one was invited by her, they were already accepted. The reason? Well, Wei Jun could tell the reason once he saw her.
If he thought Xia Lu was a nine, and Xing Xiaoi was a solid ten, then the woman before him was at least seventeen, if not eighteen. Her beauty surpassed the logical level and entered the realm of impossibility.
[If she's beautiful in your eyes]
[What would happen if you saw the won of Yin Sect?]
[You would just cream your pants on the spot]
'I'm not saying I'm attracted to her. I'm just saying she's beautiful.' Wei Jun replied as he briefly closed his eyes to escape the view before him. He would be lying if he said he didn't think she was the most beautiful woman he had seen ever since coming to this world.
But to Wei Jun, no, to the mbers of his family, beauty held a different aning. His mother and sister-in-law were both exceptional beauties who managed to charm the n like his father and elder brother respectively. If it was just beauty, he was sure this woman didn't hold a candle to them.
'There's sothing else that's making this way.' Wei Jun said.
[A very astute observation]
[To answer your question simply]
[She's vessel]
Wei Jun didn't need to be told anymore. He simply checked her stats first and foremost to see how strong she was. After all, if she was the strongest among all the masters, then he'd be able to get a rough gauge of their strength.
[Song Lihui]
[Strength: 240]
[Agility: 249]
[Stamina: 301]
[Qi: 602]
'…' Wei Jun remained silent for a while before he asked the system, 'Is there any other way to defeat them?'
[Don't worry]
[Despite her stamina]
[She wouldn't last five minutes in a battle]
[He Qi would be exhausted in a very short ti]
That wasn't the main problem. Even her basic stats were too high. Of course, Wei Jun, whose stats averaged in the mid-300s with one in the 400s, was confident he could defeat her, but there were seven more individuals like her. Even if they weren't as strong as her, they would be a force to reckon with.
Not to ntion there was the cult master.
'Why is her stats so ridiculously high?' Wei Jun asked. If he went by the normal standards of this world, her stats shouldn't be this high. They should only increase when Qi skills were applied. While he didn't expect them to remain within mortal limits, he didn't expect them to be this high either.
[Power of darkness cos with many advantages]
[This is just one of those many]
'I have the strongest such power yet I haven't received such privileges.' Wei Jun argued.
[Do you really think you haven't?]
[Besides, the power of darkness I'm ntioning is different from the elent of darkness itself]
[Demonic]
[Corruption]
[While still under the power of the main elent of Death]
[They cannot be regarded as the sa]
[Every power of death is double-edged]
[It can be used naturally and in an evil way as well]
[It just depends on how one uses it]
[While you have less advantages]
[Aren't they long-lasting?]
[While her advantages are powerful but short]
[You decide which is better]
A conversation Wei Jun could never win in the first place. He had no knowledge about such powers since recently so there was no way he could win in an argunt with the system.
Besides, that argunt soon ca to a halt as the woman before Wei Jun finally spoke after gauging him for a long ti.
"The weekly ceremony for the master is tomorrow. Disciple Tao, you will assist in tomorrow's ceremony." Song Lihui simply said and waved her hand, signaling Wei Jun to leave. Wei Jun didn't linger for even a second more and left. Assistance was as it was ntioned.
Wei Jun had to sleep with her but the difference was that the cult master would also be participating. If it was a male master, then they would be sharing the female disciple, if it was a female master, then she would be the one shared between the cult master and the disciple or in this case, Wei Jun.
'Just thinking about such a thing fills with disgust.' Wei Jun inwardly said but he was also relieved as well. Tomorrow would be his last day in this immoral and vulgar cult. Only masters attended the ceremony of the cult master. So, there would be the cult master, the eight masters, and eight disciples one of which would be Wei Jun and another would be Liu Yu hopefully.
But even if she wasn't selected, Wei Jun was sure that he would be able to stall until she got there.
The only problem was the location. Wei Jun didn't know how, and where the ceremony would be carried out. He knew it would be tomorrow and knew it would be after the sun would set, but where and how was the issue. Would it be all at once, one by one, or would there be so other way? Would be in the temple-like building, or sowhere else. These were the questions he didn't have an answer to.
Variables he couldn't foresee, in other words, unforeseen and unknown variables. Such variables screwed up the most iron-tight and well-thought plans so Wei Jun was sure his plan wouldn't exactly go out as he expected as well. He wasn't foolish enough to think so.
But…
'What other option do I have?' Wei Jun thought. He was running out of ti. Not just in the case of this mission, but for the system quest as well. He needed to beco stronger for the protagonist but not just that, he needed support. That was exactly why he didn't deny this mission.
Everything else aside, wasn't the sect master the most powerful being he had seen so far in this world? There was no reason he shouldn't curry favor with such a person. If this mission was the key to doing that, Wei Jun had no reason to refuse this mission. Besides, it wasn't like there was no reward in this mission. What the sect master would give him would be secondary. The sole fact that they were evil cultivators in a sense was enough to entice Wei Jun.
After all, his Death Qi was free of his level restriction. Since he couldn't raise his simple stats, he wanted to focus on what he could do.

"Kill . Kill now." Liu Yu as soon as Wei Jun arrived at their eting spot. Wei Jun looked at her for a mont before he asked, "So you were invited, huh?"
"He touched . He touched almost everywhere. Do you know how humiliating it was? And then when I heard what I had to do tomorrow… Kill . Just kill ." Liu Yu said, and while her voice wasn't raised, the chill of Qi emitting from her was enough to remind Wei Jun once again how strong she was.
"The keyword in all of it is almost. Besides, we don't have to do anything tomorrow. Just endure until then." Wei Jun said before he added, "Also, be prepared and on your peak tomorrow. We must kill the masters first before moving to the main target."
"Why? Wouldn't killing the main target be easier if we're making it a surprise attack?" Liu Yu asked. The elent of surprise would be lost if they were to attack the masters first but Wei Jun shook his head and said, "Without the masters, he wouldn't be much of a problem."
Of course, he wasn't sure of it either. Whether or not the target would be easy without the masters but one thing was for sure, the system was never wrong. If there were sothing to speculate, the system wouldn't give a definite answer.
In other words, the system was as honest as the word itself. If it wasn't sure of sothing, it would just say so. It wouldn't waste ti on speculations. Wei Jun trusted the system. And through that, he was also wary of the cult master. If just the masters of the cult were master-ranked cultivators with high physical stats, then the cult master, after gaining his strength from the deceased masters, would be a force to reckon with even if his ti limit was very short.
That risk was clearly pointed out by the system and it was honest about it. Wei Jun could be in trouble tomorrow. He just hoped that his plan B would be received.
"Take this." Wei Jun gave Liu Yu an item.
"What is this?" She asked.
Wei Jun told her its function and said, "You'll need it when the ti cos. Rember, you must kill the masters first no matter what. Ignore everything else."
Liu Yu looked at Wei Jun for a while and even though she didn't have to comply, she still nodded and said, "I'll see."
That much was enough. Now all the plans were in place. All he had to do was wait for the opposition to move. And he didn't have to wait long, "Disciple Tao. I have been assigned to be your guard until the ceremony."
'Guard my as*. But at least now I know they're moving.'
