(North Region- Unknown Location) Xu Lu hissed in pain as yet another sharp branch tore into her lower ankle. Blood and bits of flesh splattered on the ground beneath her feet as she ran desperately. She looked like a fucking mess. Her once spotless white robes were tattered and covered in a mixture of dirt and blood. There were open wounds across her body, and she was sure that her hair probably resembled a bird's nest. Swish! Xu Lu tilted her head to the side and narrowly avoided yet another…-

"How did your apprentice's face get destroyed?" The Sect Leader's question echoed through the mostly empty hall. He leaned back against the white throne and waited patiently for his junior sister to reply. His eyes never left the face of the beautiful young woman in front of him as if searching for something in her gaze. As if he could still see the innocent little girl who she once was. There was a brief and terrible moment of silence. Lei Ying's body literally froze as she heard the Sect…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (First Peak- Hall Of The Founder) Closed door training. That was the excuse why the hall was closed. But it was nothing more than a lie to give the Sect Leader some space to think without any interruptions by other members of the sect. An elderly man walked slowly through the hall and carefully observed the scenery around him. He had seen everything inside many times before but still took a moment to look at the splendor and opulence. Floors made of pure…

Xu Lu frowned slightly as she approached the large boulder and stretched out her palms. Her fingers brushed against the solid lump of rock and a few crumbs of dirt fell to the ground. The sheer size of the boulder was hard to wrap her head around. It did not even seem real as if someone had carved it directly from the side of a mountain. Was it possible to destroy this object? "Oh darling… don't tell you fell for it?" the foxy woman smiled sweetly as she brushed past Xu Lu with her furry tail…

Power… so much… power… Xu Lu took in a deep breath as she felt the flesh on her back wriggle and squirm as if something was itching to burst out of her skin. She touched the golden thread in front of her and memories entered her mind. She saw a handsome young man lightly teasing a group of female disciples with harmless pranks, then an older version of the man stealing cultivation techniques from an unknown library and a few other scenes. Guilty… Thievery… laziness… greed… No……

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Twentieth Peak- Secret Prison) "ARGHHH! HAHAHA! ARGGHHH! HAHAA!" "LAUGH MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS FOR WE SHALL BE FREE!" "PRAISE! PRAISE!" The original Xu Lu covered her ears with her hands and curled up into a ball. She had no idea how long she had spent in this place. In the darkness of her cell… time lost all meaning. Minutes turned to hours… hours turned to days… days turned into decades… She could feel her mind slowly cracking. No… perhaps she…

(Mount Xilean- Holy Sword Sect) (Twentieth Peak- Secret Prison) The Containment Facility aka 'The Hole'. That was the nickname given to the prison hidden behind the mountain range of the Holy Sword sect where all manner of vile criminals were held. These individuals were too dangerous to be released or there may be a need for them in the future, so they were locked away inside of an underground fortress. And for some… it was just for punishment. Sometimes death was a mercy… The light…

"What… what are you talking about?" the Sect Leader stuttered slightly. He was taken aback by the hatred and ferocity that surfaced in the saintess' eyes. "I was captured, tortured and disfigured by a demon cultivator…" Xu Lu spoke hoarsely as the voice in her mind continued to scream. "He carved my face apart… inch by inch… forcing me to endure horrific torture…" "And he did that to me while my master waited… she could have rescued me earlier, but she waited… she waited until he…

(Mount Xilean- Unnamed Location) (Forest Clearing) Shi Jian had lived for a long time. A very long time. In fact, he could no longer recall what was his exact date of birth and how long that he had been alive. At the higher stages of cultivation, it was possible for one to live for hundreds of thousands of years. Shi Jian had only lived for a few thousand years but still… there was very little that could surprise him anymore. But today… he was shocked for the first time in…

(Mount Xilean- Unnamed Location) (Forest Clearing) Slash! Xu Lu tilted her neck to the side and narrowly avoided the blunt edge of the wooden sword that was aimed for her body. The sword passed harmlessly above her left shoulder, but the Sect Leader quickly flicked his weapon sideways to catch Xu Lu off guard. The saintess ducked down and then used a movement technique to vanish from the spot and reappear right behind the elderly man. She retaliated by bending her knees and thrusting her blade…
