‘No one must know about this.’ Ming Xiao understood that if he let these cultivators go, both his reputation and his relationship with many righteous path cultivators and sects would swiftly be ruined.

In their eyes, he is a man with no speck of evil, only doing good deeds and cutting the evil.

He could not allow that to happen, so he had to finish what he had started.

“Don’t worry, the moment the righteous path tramples the demonic sects. I will be the one to stand proudly on top of the world. Your sacrifices are necessary.” – Even though his voice was as soft as a spring breeze, the young cultivators felt a chill all over their bodies.

Only a fool wouldn’t understand that Ming Xiao wanted to kill them.

Without another word, Ming Xiao drew his sword with an evil grin and headed towards the two remaining cultivators.

***********_.

“Just imagine, that’s the only reason my father sent me here…” – On one of the many stairs, a beautiful girl complained.

She was none other than Zhang Ya.

Lately her life could be described as up and down, until recently she was a useless sect disciple but now she is a genius with a heavenly physique. Her talent was found out after she finally passed the physique test with the sects stele.

She was expecting many resources for cultivation and a good environment for her training, but not a day has passed before two shocking events occurred.

First, after the rumors about her physique reached the sect master, Xue Yan personally wanted to meet her. And to her profound surprise, the sect master neither asked her how her physique suddenly turned into a heavenly rank physique nor gave her the resources to cultivate.

Instead, the sect master asked some rather strange questions that made Zhang Ya puzzled.

Almost all of the sect master’s questions were about Victor, she asked if she knew him or if she wanted to form a Dao Couple.

Such questions made Zhang Ya’s forehead covered in sweat.

As you know, the Temple of the Dark Moon forbids relationships between a man and a woman, and answering the questions of the sect master, she was greatly puzzled.

Of course, she would have never guessed that it was her own father who suggested to the sect master to push for the marriage between Zhang Ya and Victor.

For that reason alone, Xue Yan was wary. What if Zhang Ya really had plans for Victor, then she would kill Zhang Ya without hesitation.

Zhang Ya had no idea that all the time she was in the palace of the sect master she was hanging between life and death. Luckily, it all turned out alright.

But that wasn’t the end of the weird day.

The second reason was her own father.

After Zhang Ya left the sect master’s palace, Elder Zhang suddenly appeared in her room and without as much as a single word, grabbed her and sent her to the ark where there were many disciples of the Temple of the Dark Moon.

Only later did she learn that a pocket space had opened up where she could get an ancient emperor’s inheritance, just the thought of it shocked her. She did not expect her father to be so generous to her.

He was known to treat everyone equally, even if it was his own daughter, but now he had given her such a huge gift. She was happy to know that she had a chance to fight for the inheritance, but soon her happy expression froze.

The moment the ark with the cultivators from the Temple of the Dark Moon was almost arriving at the dimensional pocket, her father approached her and laid down a mission that she would have to accomplish at all costs.

Looking at the serious expression on his face, she knew that this was something important, perhaps even a mission entrusted to her by the sect master.

It was only when her father opened his mouth and began to explain the purpose and details of her mission that she froze with her mouth open.

Elder Zhang, with a serious expression on his face, explained to his daughter that the reason she would go to the secret realm was very simple, all she had to do was to…

Seduce Victor!

Her own father wanted her to seduce a man she didn’t even know. She had no words to describe how disappointed she felt in her father at that moment. She understood that it was impossible to refuse his mission and simply decided that after entering the secret realm she would tell her father that her attempt had failed.

She knew next to nothing about Victor, perhaps he was ugly or depraved, she didn’t have the courage to just approach him to talk and explain the situation she found herself in.

Zhang Ya knew that she possessed incredible beauty among the disciples of the Temple of the Dark Moon, so she was afraid that Victor, after her explanation, might actually agree to her father’s proposal.

Fortunately or not, she still hadn’t met Victor and hoped that until she left the secret realm she wouldn’t meet him at all.

“What kind of a father is that?! I had a similar experience.” – The young girl across from Zhang Ya said cheerfully.

“I had been engaged since I was a little girl, the man I was supposed to marry was a genius from a young age, and the first time we met, let’s just say that he was incredibly handsome.” – A little shy, the girl continued.

“What happened next?” – Zhang Ya was a little curious.

It was their first meeting and the two women didn’t hide anything from each other, as they didn’t really have any enmity, they just happened to get together for their first test.

As it was known, Zhang Ya was from the demonic path while the woman opposite was from the righteous path, although they were on different sides unlike the others they did not antagonize each other and decided to go peacefully.

Both women decided that only the one who has more strength to go on will be able to pass the first stage.

The woman frowned slightly when Zhang Ya asked her a question, and after a little hesitation, she answered:

“Even though he wasn’t ugly and was definitely not bad at cultivation either, after our first meeting he abandoned all his hard work, spending all his time stalking me.”
