After killing the girl selling herself to bury her father, Asmodeaus was enthralled. In the city you could kill anyone and as long as they don't find you you're free.
"Dogleg 1, find some homeless, vagabonds and wanderers around these parts."
"Dogleg 2, prepare my bonesaw."
Asmodeaus had a bright day ahead of him and wouldn't let anything get him down. The homeless in the city were about to find their new resting place. A place they wouldn't need to leave again.
After slaughtering several people Asmodeaus rose his cultivation to Qi Condensation realm 6. After realm 6 is a small bottleneck so it might take a bit longer to break though to the upper levels of Qi Refining. After Qi Refining realm 9 you can try to break through to Foundation Establishment, but that is too far away for a small realm 6 Qi refiner like Asmodeaus at the moment.
Asmodeaus smiled and cleaned up, then returned to the Dongfeng manor after a day's work. Raising your cultivation is one of those things you have to practice every day or you'll go against the current.
After going to bed Asmoedaus started to make plans. It isn't a long term solution to stay in this small Dongfeng estate. He should at least try to do something big, like incite a war between the Flame Empire and the Bluefire empire. If you don't want to cause a war, are you even a qualified border town? However as someone who just crawled out of the Abyss he knew next to nothing about the political climate of the empire. In fact, just causing a war had little to do with Asmodeaus, wars are like a pile of aggressions that finally get blown into proportion. Asmodeaus knew that the most important thing was to improve his own cultivation. He should join a cultivation sect. The true rulers of the Wuxian continent.
Stolen story; please report.
If you're not in a sect you're just a layman and don't have the qualifications to even live. You are literally at the mercy of the cultivators and hope they don't need your continent to dedicate their lives to a greater purpose. In a sect you're at least protected as one of the ruling forces. No matter how small a person attached to a sect is, they are the honorable guests of kingdoms and empires around the world.
Asmodeaus knew that the two major sects who recruited in Blackiron town every year were the Smalltime Sect and the LargeQuincy sect. Asmodeaus was more inclined to the Smalltime sect because they were low key.
Asmodeaus knew that the real experts didn't care about idealistic things such as advertising. They were more inclined to improving themselves and letting others find them. The LargeQuincy sect only knew how to boast about their achievements, but the smalltime sect was as low key as if they didn't even exist. But they came every year so people must have joined, and quite a few. Blackiron town was only a small town, but it had at least tens of thousands of people.
The next recruitment was a month away so he only had to pretend to be Quebai for another month. One moon. The turning of a skyblade. The ending of a life. One day thirty times.
