Ren received not a single challenge after that. He relaxed in the stands with Jackson talking things over about the others. Elder Kung went to complete the task Ren gave him. The man was hard at work to save their lives. His Loyalty to the Sect would be used for Ren's benefit.
Ren dived deep into his psyche with the help of the brand. Elder Kung had an actual relative that was a Sleeping Elder. Not on the Lan side of his bloodline. But on his mother's side.
"Hmmm." Ancestor Maleficent did not leave. She looked towards Ren with greater interest. "Even injured, he remains carefree. Fears, not even those above him still." Her words were heard by others in the area. Specifically Ren's false mother Morticia. Morticia was closer to her from her ties with the Royals. Old friends of the current Empress. "Your son is really something else."
*Bwoom!* A ripple went out. Morticia used a sound barrier to keep prying ears out. A few Elders from the visiting Sects were offende
"I am quite annoyed as you can guess. Do not piss me off right now. I will kill you and think nothing of the consequences." Ren had a slight edge in his voice. Reap was passing information about the others playing around while traveling to the Capital. That was not a problem really. As long as Felicity did not push herself currently. 'No good Sect Master.""The Mo family operatives are in the town nearby." The Moon Vally Elder said. "For the Manual yes?""If they are all there then, yes." Ren turned to the Elder and walked over. His hand reached out and cupped the man's face. "You have beautiful eyes. May I have them? I will give you something for them, I promise it will be worth your while.""Do it Elder." A young woman in the back said. The others moved out the way with ease for her to stand next to the Elder. "If it helps build a relationship with you, so be it." She was a fairly striking woman. Dark green hair, with a pretty face. A deep cleava
-Sect Gate- . After dropping off the others and taking some of the resources to help calm down, Ren went to get some other resources. Namely from the townspeople. Elder Kung was in charge of getting the members of the Mo clan from the town after he got back. Bedalika had mentioned a small problem happening. But refused to go into details. Jackson refused to wait and was taking the others to go and pick them up for the escort. Ren just stepped out of the Sect Gate and felt a little antsy. His shoulders ached as his body was changing with the recent breakthrough. The Divine Frost Tiger Manual was itching to kill. More volatile than the Vampiric Devil Manual and to comfortable with his mindset. Ren did not fight enough. Had not fought enough to cause bloodshed and it was starting to show. The Divine Frost Tiger was slighted by the Sect Master treatment. Because Ren was slighted. '3 Primary Manual's, might have been to much currently. But
-Village Area- . "Hmm.. how did it increase in density past calculations?" Ren looked at the inhabitants in intrigue. He really didnt care to much about most of them. They gave fair enough intel at least. But a lot of them were pretty freaking useless. Especially a few from the NorthEast of the Empire. More twisted than a psycho house on ecstasy. They would not be saved. "So much in one place." "It is him!" A civilian yelled towards Ren. "The one who treated us!" Ren gave the man a look. "You are Ko Lin, stop yelling." Ren said demurely. "Why are you causing trouble for me?" Behind his fan, the man did not see Ren's smile. 'Such a large concentration of the poison. I can replenish myself a large amount with this. That is just a quick guess. The amount here can supplement me a great deal.' Reap System: Enough to bring you back to what you need yes. Since you are going to kill some of the corrupt ones, might as well finish a few quests whi
*Woooom! Wooom!* A ghastly wind passed over everyone. The clouds immediately turned darker. Mixed with the ambient miasma, this site looked like an abandoned town instantly. Several wooden boats appeared. Wrapped in milky green Ion energy that floated ever so slowly. Those who looked at the image were frozen in place."Hehehe!" A sinister chuckle went out. Several robed cultivators moved out in the area. In their hands, hammer in one, and large nails in the other."Ahhhhhh!" Several cultivators started to scream in pain. They clutched at their skulls and started pulling. "Remove the nails! They hurt!" They started to scream in pain. In their mind, large milky green nails were lodged inside their skulls."Your grace it will not be long now." A southern cultivator spoke softly. He was speaking to a young man that was dressed in Inner Disciple robes. Seeing the pained look on his charge's face, he started to panic a little. "Are you ok!? Can you hear me!?" He did n
-Sometime Later, Royal Court-."Greetings Royal Father and others," Melinda said plainly. She looked to the Empress and bowed her head next. "I greet the Empress Soruda VII, my your days be blessed..""Speak freely, you have earned it and then some." Empress Soruda VII said. "Your father is cured, you are getting better and Valli is better. The Empire is doing quite well. Just need to strengthen ourselves for the return of the others from the Mainland."Setsu and Five looked at each other. Five had a little more etiquette so he remained quiet and alert. Setsu on the other hand, the boy looked around and marveled at the architecture. They both were dressed in the robes Ren provided them.The traveling had been dangerous but worthwhile for them. The others went to have fun around the city. Which meant trouble most likely for Zia and whoever ticked her off. During the traveling, she righted a lot of wrongs in the area. Building a reputa
-Later that night-."This Manual is ghastly." Melinda said to Ren. Seeing him leaning back on the bed gave her pause. "You sure you will not regret me learning it?""I have been attacked by the manual once before. I learned my lesson and have made sure to cultivate against it. As for the others.. I recommend not trying it on them. It will just lead to your death.""Right..." Melinda moved over and surprised Ren a little. She removed her camisole and stared at him. "I can see the look of desire in your eyes, yet you make no move on me.""Because the good things come to those who wait." Ren answered. He did grab her by the waist and pulled her close, however."Eep!" Letting out a little cry made Ren smile broader. "You brute!" Melinda smacked his chest but made no move to get free. "You like to take liberties at the weirdest of times.""Yes. Say stop, and I will let you go." Ren looked at her. She blushed an
The stay in the Capital turned slightly problematic for some. The 1st elder of the Sect entered the Capital. Not on behalf of the Sect, but his own personal reasons.1st Elder had made it to Ren and used a lot of influence to get an audience with him. As well as have his two daughters with him showed serious work on his part. From the word around the palace, the Empress allowed it mostly.The group was also an distinguished guest. Master Luminous of Righteous Sect. The two knew each other with 1st Elder helping with tracking down Ren for him.'Is the Empress finally making trouble for me? Or is this something else?' As the 1st Elder talked, Ren was mostly trying to figure out why the Empress would do so. 'I have not seen anything harmful with her or the 2nd Emperor for that matter. But the 1st Emperor seems to hang out with fools in the future. Gonna have to change that... or possibly kill him.'Wouldn't be the first time he killed
'Oh alright. But I think Zia will want to get a few cracks at her first.' Ren looked at Zia who stared intently. Her mind already thinking of ways to get the woman in her corner for sparring."Ok. You will become a disciple of mine." Ren said to Liyun. As for your sisters, bring them here after you swear on your Soul and Cultivation.""Very well." Liyun was decisive in everything she did. She swore on her soul then her Cultivation Realm right then and there. "It is done. Please save them!""Hmmm." Ren stood up and walked over. A strange sensation washed over him after the Promise went out. Not minding it to much, he proceeded. He poked the center of her forehead. Sinking about a quarter-inch inside. "There, it is done."*Schlick!* A dark purple Ion trail left her forehead and circled into a ball. Ren kept taking it away, removing every trace of the poison inside her. The constant use of m
