Rex and his guide kept on traveling the second day in the same manner as the first, stoping a few times for a quick rest or a meal, to keep their energy up. The rest and emasl were obviously necesary for his guide, not himself, as he was absorbing just enough from the nature around to not spend any energy and maintain the perfect state. Later, one the night arrived they spent the night in the same manner as before in another clearing like the one before. Rex was quite calm, even with their goal slowly aproaching. He had a general plan of action in mind, with many different changes and backups planned as well. It all would be finalized once he could estimate the power level of this sect.

The third day started the same and nothing much happened untill around four in the afternoon. As they were walking they encountered a road block, guarded by a few rough looking and dirty men with some cutlass type swords by their sides.

"Well, well, what do we have here." spoke one of the men "You two look likea pair of beggars. Matters not, a toll is a toll. Pay up. five silver pieces per man. And dont you think or running away, you are already on our land, so pay up."

"Bandits" the guide wispered to Rex. Rex lightly sighed and spoke in a bored voice

"Get lost before you all die. I dont have time for the rats of this world."

His words seemed to have angered the men, and one of them shouted as they drew their swords "Just loot that shits corpse. My hand has been itchy anyways." They didnt move much furtehr though, as the next moment they all fell on the ground, their bodies split in half. Dead. And then the crows that were circling high in the sky landed on the bodies of the fallen bandits, adn a moment later the corpses scattered into dust that was blown away by the wind.

The guide, who was prepearing to defend himself, and had placed his hand on the blade by his side, was staring at the sight tha thad occured before his very eyes just moments ago, eyes wide in disbelief. He had not even registered the mans speed.

"You knew I had the skills the moment I accepted to act as the avenger for the barkeep. Now you see a glimpse of it. Worry not, I only need to see the place, you can return after that." He reassured the guide, and a while later they resumed their trip, the guide assured that their pain and suffering would be returned to the sect tenfold. And so the third day ended in another clearing, with them being very close to their target. His guide assured that tommorow they would reach a town, and from there Rex could easily find his way to the White Lotus sect.

And the guide was indeed right. Around noon of the fourth day they had reached a decent sized city, and after Rex was shown the dirrections and signs he should follow, the guide took his leave, asured that Rex would reach the sect without any issues. Looking at the town and its people Rex could feel a slight tension in the air, and after a few inquries as he was either having a meal of buying some supplies, he learned that the White Lotus sect had become more arrogant and domineering. It seemed that the war with the foxes had emboldened their actions, since they were a rather important asset to faciliate the victory over their enemy.

With his little info gathering out of the way he left teh city, stepping on a rather well maintained road that led to the sects mountains. Rex guessed he would have to do quitea lot of mountain climbind in this job of his, if the tropes regarding the sect mountains would come thrue in this land. It was close to evening as the sun was on its slow descent, when Rex came to a stop at a small clearing with a small inn. After a few questions, he knew he had arrived at the base of the right mountain, as he looked at a rather nice looking adn well maintained stairs that led up the mountain.

"Where are wings when you need them?" Rex sarcastically asked him self as he began his ascent. Luckaly it took him only a few hours to reach a platfom of sorts, that ended in a decently large stone gate. A wall was stopping his advance further up the mountain. A small building were placed on the platform on this side of the gate, and as he approached the gate, a bored man spoke form a building that stood very close.

"Long way from home stranger. What business do you have with our White Lotus sect?"

"Here to collect a debt. Summon someone important enough." he responded, slightly irritating the guard.

"What our pupils owed you in the past matters not here. If you want to collect, catch the debtor when they are outside. Now leave." The guard spoke in an arrogant manner, chasing Rex away.

"But your sect is who I have come to collect from, not an individual." As he was speaking, his mana did its job. He had used a few mana pulses, claculating the present power of the sect. And while he was sure he must have not felt a few old dogs who were hiding in some obscure formations. So far he was quite dissapointed. A few high tier A class entities, no peak ones. He asumed at least a few S ranks could be hiding and slowly awaiting their deaths, only to emerge in an amergency of the sect. His mana pings had also calculated the power and nature of the array that was enveloping the place, and he came to the conclusion that it would not be much of an issue.

Rex sighed a long breath, and then spoke as he activated the barrier, that was extended with his mana pulses and prepeared. This was by far the largerst barrier he had ever erected, and he was feeling quite good for himslef.

"I wont take long." and with that he dissapeared, and was across the gate on the other side. He then walked the largest path he could see, leaving the gate and entering deeper in the city. A few moments later a rather loud bell was ringing, rousing the sect from its peacefull state. And not long after Rex was surrounded by a bunch of men, all having their blades drawn adn pointed at the outsider.

"The guard was quite rude, so I invited myself in, since I have business with your leadership. Bring me to them."

And since they needed the intruder there anyways, since the array was not activating for some odd reason, it was quite a good sign that the man was cooperating. A few dozen minutes later he was standing in a rather large hall, five men sitting in a rather decorated chairs, stern looks adorning their faces as they were suspiciously looking at the man while stroking their goatees.

"Who are you, how did you bypass the guard and why is our array not activating." One of teh elders asked in a rather stern voice. Rex felt as if the fool was asuming he had the power and authority to boss him around, when in reality, the council here was not even their strongest members.

"What bullshit is this?" Rex asked "Why are your strongest members not here?" he was confused. The council members consisted of two A class men and the remaining three were high or peak B class. "There is an intruder here, and this is all you can muster? You dissapoint me." He sighed with a dissapointed look on his face. This was not a true cultivator world. He should not have expected a proper powerfull individuasl beyond the norm here. They were not a first rate power after all.

"Four day travel distance away in that dirrection" Rex spoke as he lifted his hand in the dirrection he came from "is a coastal village. A few of your people passed there some five or six days ago and raped a young girl, who ended her misery not being able to live with the fact. I need them delivered to me. Once I am done with them, I will adress the second reason I am here." A few scoffs were heard from the elders and Rex could clearly see the arrogance in their eyes. The none of teh A ranks spoke

"Just a peasant girl, we got those in spades. Besides, I dont tthink you understand the situation you are in. It is we, who will ask the questions, and you WILL answer, and if we dont like your answers or attitude, your death will not be quick and painless." The other four nodded as they agreed with the first one.

Another sigh from Rex as he looked at the retards playing sect elders, then he glanced to the disciples at the door who brought him here

"The one who brings them here gets to leave this place alive." then he clapped his hands seing the disciples standing there without reaction "Chop chop. Hurry up your elders are about to start dying, and there is no running since we are in a barrier." then he focused on the councill once again "Who here knows the most about your arts and secrets?" he noticed how a corner of a couple council members quickly flashed to one side.

"Not you two" he spoke and in a flash, they were split in half, his hand now holding Limitless. He did feel like feeding the limitless was a thing he had to do regularily, else it might take offense. It was a weapon, and weapons needed to be used.

"So, who where is the most informed of your sect arts and secrets?" he repeated his question, and one of the three remaining members took out a token of sorts and crushed it in his hand.

"Finaly, I hope it is calling for the big boys. Cant be wasting my time with the bugs. You all still here?" he then asked to the stunned disciples. It was only nattural, two of their elders were killed instantly, the remaining three didnt even react. "I need those offenders, so save your measly lifes and bring them here. I hate to waste my time, hot girls are waiting for my return."

A few of the disciples quickly turned and left the place. Either to bring the guilty party or to try and run away, Rex didnt know, but he did not care either. There was nowhere to run. The entire sect was locked with him in this barrier, and since his version was supperior to the original wit hall his tweaks, it fed on the energy around. That meant that unless the wolrd runs dry of energy, it could last indefinetly, unless he ends it or he dies. And the girl was defiled enough for him to be able to find the culprits by the lingering energy signature.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open as a rather old couple individuals entered the hall, an angry frown on their faces.

"Innitial S class." Rex spoke "Better, but not by much. You two know everything about the sect?" he asked, his attitude had not changed at all, and that started to worry the three elders that were still alive. The two grand elders, as Rex classified them in his head, drew their weapons as they prepeared for a battle, since they noticed the two corpes of the recenty killed elders. Thne they both lunged at Rex, from different sides, but he had little to no problems avoiding their strikes. As the two were working with quite a good cooperation, the remaining elders also joined the fight, trying to assist the tag team.

For the next ten minutes Rex wasa only avoiding the attacks sent his way, since he wanted to see if there was anyone who would deliver the three cunts who caused the village girls death, or he would grow bored with the fools here, end their lives and then go look for the trio on his own. Another ten minutes later, the doors opened once again, and a couple of youths entered with his targets.

"Nice, sombody gets to live!" Rex exclaimed as parried one of the grand elders attacks. The result however shocked everyone here but Rex. His sword cut through the grand elders blade splitting the man in half and causing his instant death.

"You two on the sides" Rex pointed to the duo that had brought the avengers targets here "You get to walk out of here alive, once I am through."

"Well, play time is over gentlemen, it was fun." Rex sighed "Who am I kidding, sex or deep floors are fun, this was just tedious." He finished speaking, flashed and wit ha few swings the elders were all dead, terror reflected in their eyes. Rex realised that he would probably have to doo some deep diving once he returns after this job. Or maybee he should try his hand in the daddy business? He had a lot of willing ladies for that. 'No, focus. Holy whores first, entertainment after' he scolded himself in his mind. A few solid gut strikes, and a dozen slashes later, the three savages were mooaning in pain on the ground, the duo with a pass were still standing in their original location and the rest of the disciples were all lying dead on the floor.

Once his targets were secured with solid ropes, he dragged the duo to an edge of the barrier and flinged the two outside, not forgetting to interogate them a bit. They spilled the beans quite wilingly, since they saw what kind of monster they were dealing with. So with a better understanding of the place and the way they operate, including the arts they employ, he got to his job- purging the sect. He pulled all stops, going supersonic to quickly clean up the closed off region. Even then, he needed more than the entire night to finish with his purge. He also found a few rooms with battered and broken girls. Some freshly used to advance their cultivation, or the cheap knockoff they were practising here. He used the most sane and functional girls to round them all up, provided some of the treasures and money the sects treasury contained, and allowed them to do as they pleased. They were not his problem, nor his responsibility, but he did show them the bare minimum humanity with those treasures and a small pylosophical question, that gave a reason, even if barely, to keep on living even after what they had gone through. Then he spent a few hours entertaining the three culprits of the young girls end. He was quite gentle as he used the burning blood swords that Royce was kind enough to donate to him after his untimely demise, and to top it all off, he tore their souls from their bodies, providing a new experience to the trio as they left the world of the living.

Once he was the only living being in the sect grounds, he unleashed his crows, removing any and all traces of humans existing within these sect grounds. Well, blood stains remained, but that did not count, so the point still stands. And with the rising sun of the new morning he disspelled the barrier, leaving behind sect devoid of life. While barely any stroger than before, he had picked up a few more new techniques, and a few random snippets of knowledge from the absorbed people. He also planted a nice large flag in the council chambers. It had a sign of a sword that was enveloped by a chinese dragon, floating in the cold space of void. He liked the design of the sky serpents, so it just felt right that such a creature could not only be real but also serve as his symbol.

As for when to stop his sect extermination spree, he had a half of an artifact set. Once he would have inflicted enough damage for the sect union to ask kitsunes for peace, he would be signaled, indicating his part of the deal fulfilled, allowing him to go and claim his new girls. He was also looking forward to Izumi being mean to the girl that used to bully her.

So with the White Lotus sect looted and destroyed, he moved back to the town he had visited just a day ago. There he spent teh remaing thay gathering information regarding other great sects and the politics that they go by. He also inquired about the next biggest city that was close by to this place, sicne the information was getting quite scarce, so once he felt it was enough, he paid one of the coachmen who earned their living by ferrying people from one city to the next. So once they had agreed to a price for this journey, they quickly departed. He had already heard a few whispers in the town that the White lotus sect was destroyed, and most of their members are dead. He knew that such rumors would soon be heard in most of this nation states, triggering an investigation, and possibly more, making his hunt to be more fun.
