Northern Region. Not far from the Tangxiang City.

Today was supposed to be a typical day for the wandering cultivators who made their lives by looting, and this time around they spotted a woman who was clearly rich judging by her appearance.

She had long white hair, violet eyes, and wore an all black dress that was adorned with jewels.

It was a clear jackpot.

Of course, the traveling cultivators were not fools and the first thing they did was check the base of cultivation of this woman. To their surprise they found not a single drop of spiritual energy. 

The woman apparently was not only obviously rich, but also had incomparable beauty, they knew that they could not miss such a gift from heaven.

So they sprung to action. Their thoughts of reward were completely overshadowed at the sight of her jade beauty. 

In the end, the result of their attack could only be described by the word “brutal”, but not for their target, the first three cultivators were instantly blown up from the inside, five had their limbs torn off and the remaining two cultivators who tried to escape had their hearts ripped out._.

“Tsk. This garbage…” – The woman snorted unhappily, looking at the bloody sight beside her.

The surviving cultivators flinched at her words; they thought this woman was a devil in the flesh.

It should have been different, she should have been the one shaking and sobbing from their words and actions, the one to despair, not the other way around.

That woman was none other than Su Rong.

It had been more than ten days since she had last seen Victor, so her mood was gloomy to say the least, and it was getting worse every consecutive day she was away from him.

‘Sect selection should have been over by now…’ Upset, she thought, Su Rong didn’t want to approach Tangxiang City at all, because of one woman who had the whole country in her palm. But, for Victor’s sake, she ignored all the plots between them and was about to arrive.

Until she was suddenly stopped by a gang of bandits, looking at their vulgar grins, they became something of a punching bag for her, but in the end they were just useless.

Crack!

With a flick of her index finger tips, the remaining cultivators’ heads suddenly exploded, flooding all the nearby ground covered with nothing but blood.

“I hope he doesn’t join that demonic sect…” She sighed before she suddenly disappeared as if she was never there.

**********

“Why can’t I join the Temple of the Dark Moon?” – Mikena shouted angrily to the man across the street.

It wasn’t long before she was planning to join a demonic sect with Victor, but the next morning she woke up and noticed a note in which Victor explained where he had disappeared to.

Even though she was enraged by Victor’s act, she didn’t dare go looking for him and just a few hours after he left, the whole town of Tangxiang was flooded with rumors about him.

His divine physique and the fact that he became a disciple of the Temple of the Dark Moon deeply shocked not only the world but also Mikena herself. She thought he had abandoned her, but even if he had, she wouldn’t have let him go just like that after Victor had not only made her feel unusual feelings, but he had also done indecent deeds with her.

So she decided if he didn’t go to her, then she would come to him.

Everything was going great, she successfully passed the second stage of the selection process, and she was already looking forward to seeing him again. But then it didn’t go the way she expected.

A young man from the Temple of the Dark Moon suddenly said he didn’t want to see her in the sect, this stunned not only Mikena but all the sect staff.

Mikena was a genius, at such a young age she was already in the late stage of Earthly Ascension(2) which clearly meant that at the very least her physique should not be lower than earthly, but at most likely belonged to the heavenly category.

No one would want to miss such a good disciple, looking at the Dark Moon Temple messenger, members of other sects could only wonder.

“Is everything all right with his head?” 

The messenger only shook his head bitterly, of course he would have been glad to have such a woman as a disciple of his sect, but unfortunately before he invited Mikena to join the sect he had received direct orders from the sect master that he should not allow Mikena to join the sect under any circumstances.

It seemed that the sect master had some kind of conflict with Mikena, thus all he could do was to listen to the sect master’s order. Mikena cursed him over and over again for over an hour, her curses seemed to get to his roots.

“I already told you the sect master personally ordered me not to let you be allowed in the sect!”

‘Fuck her!’ Mikena wanted to object, but remained silent, biting her lip. It hurt her that the master of the Temple of the Dark Moon sect seemed to want to put a line between her and Victor.

‘Wait! Is the sect master a woman?’ At that moment it was as if a light bulb went off in Mikena’s head, all this time while she was arguing with this man, she didn’t ask about his gender, if it was a man then this whole situation made no sense to her at all and if it was a woman…

At that thought, Mikena’s body trembled; it was a situation in which there was no way out at all.

“Is the sect master a woman?” – Bitterly she asked, hoping she was mistaken.

“Yes.”

“Is she pretty?”

“Very… Stop! Why do you even ask?” – The man answered without thinking, so he didn’t notice how he could accidentally offend the sect master with his words, looking around he noticed messengers from other sects who had a mocking smile on their faces.

Cold sweat streamed down his face, without another word he flapped his sleeve and disappeared, he had no more desire to argue with this woman, he had recruited a new cultivator for the sect so he had to go back.

Mikena stood in a stupor the whole time, and now, for the first time, she wanted to cry. The sect master was a woman, and unfortunately, she was also beautiful…

If she really was in love with Victor, which would not surprise Mikena at all, would it not mean that their relationship was over?
