(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Castmere Beach) Another loud piercing scream echoed through the beach. Xu Lu gripped her sword and kept looking in the direction of the noises. The fire that was raging in the distance had somehow gotten even bigger and orange sparks of flame were now providing light in the darkness. Heavy clouds of smoke wafted upwards, and Xu Lu was pretty sure that if left unattended, that fire would definitely become a large-scale forest fire. "ARGHH!!!! HAVE MERCY I…-

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Castmere Beach) The sun had long disappeared and only the soft moonlight illuminated the waves that crashed against the shore. Xu Lu sat down under the shade of a leafy palm tree and enjoyed the cold wind that brushed softly against her body. After spending weeks in the desert, she was just glad to not have to experience that kind of oppressive heat. A few days had passed since she began her journey back to Mount Xilean and so far... not to jinx things but it had…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (Outskirts of The Capitol City- Guang Clan) The Guang Clan was a cultivation organisation affiliated with the Holy Sword Sect and under their indirect control. The power of the clan was quite weak compared to the other cultivation groups in the capitol city, but the backing of the Holy Sword Sect allowed them to act quite arrogantly. Xu Lu walked towards the edges of the capitol city and approached a series of small mountains with golden palaces built on top of each…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert- Ancient Ruins) The sun was now beginning to peak over the horizon and warm orange rays of light washed over the sand dunes and the barren earth. A group of tribespeople slowly travelled beneath the shadow of enormous dunes. Camels carried small children, the elderly, and important supplies. The procession was protected by men and women carrying curved swords whose edges gleamed under the sunlight. A woman walked in front of the group with…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert- Ancient Ruins) This was not the corpse of a cultivator. Xu Lu peered closer at the body and became more and more assured of her assumption. The frail old man hidden behind the thick robes did not have a single trace of spiritual energy. Heavy wrinkles crept up along his skin and his hair was grey and balding. He appeared to be an ordinary person. The saintess frowned heavily as she got up from the ground and slowly looked around for any more…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert- Ancient Ruins) "What?" one of the demon cultivators exclaimed in shock as he moved away from the large chunk of ice. Boom! Xu Lu dodged to the side as an enormous shockwave of air rushed towards her location at a rapid speed. "You piece of shit," a melodic feminine voice shouted angrily. Xu Lu rushed forward in the direction of the voice and swung her blade at the slender figure whose body was covered in a heavy robe. Her movements…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert- Ancient Ruins) Yeah... it was time to give up. Xu Lu sat down beneath the shade of one of the buildings and pulled out a blanket from her storage ring. She wrapped the blanket around her shoulders and leaned against the side of the wall. The sun was slowly setting towards the horizon and in the distance, she could see a flock of birds flying towards an unknown location. After several long hours tirelessly searching for any clues or hints…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert- Ancient Ruins) Xu Lu gently placed her hand on the side of one of the buildings and traced her fingers along the edges of the material. It was amazing that these buildings were still standing. In the desert, the intense heat and dust storms produced quite the strong weathering effect. Most traces of civilisation should eventually be buried under the sand and lost to the passage of time and yet... These buildings were still standing. They…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert) "Sure... but first please tell me if you have heard or seen anything," Xu Lu responded calmly as she pretended not to notice the bloodlust in the desert woman's face. "Of course... of course..." the beautiful woman smiled seductively as she spread her arms open towards the sky. Xu Lu noticed heavy bands of solid gold on her limbs but despite their weight, the woman did not seem to be affected by them. She moved with airy, light movements. "A…

(Southern Region- Xercopolis Empire) (The Forbidden Desert) Seven days had passed, and Xu Lu was getting sick of seeing the same scenery for hours and hours every single freaking day. She hated to say it but... she missed the internet. This journey would be a lot more bearable if she could just pull up some videos on YouTube to pass the time. A heavy sigh leaked out of the saintess' mouth as she finally crossed one mountain of sand and discovered... More mountains of sand. Xu Lu walked down the side…
