While Lucifer was sitting around his table eating his front door burst open and Old Moon soon entered. Seeing the old man Lucifer just took a quick look before eating again. Upon seeing the circle below Lucifer eyes signaling he has slept in a while or practices his cultivation technique Old Moon just sighed.

“Come with me were going out for some time,” Old Moon said.

Just nodding his head Lucifer stood up and walk toward him as he couldn’t really focus on anything the last few days. Soon the two of them vanished from the house and was soon traveling in the sky toward the south.

“The trip going to take around a year as I pick out sect mission for you,” Old Moon said as they fly.

“What are the missions,” Lucifer asked.

“Investigate some disappearances, kill some demon beasts along the shore, track down wanted criminal name ‘Flower Killer’, and gather information on nearby kingdoms,” Old Moon said.

“Why do we need to gather information on nearby kingdom I thought sect won’t mess with the kingdoms and the kingdoms do the same?” Lucifer said.

“Well it supposed to be that way but the sects recently received details that seven of the nearby kingdom plan to wage war with us in three to five years’ time,” Old Moon said with a slight sigh.

“Why would they decided to wage war all of the sudden it makes no senses,” Lucifer said.

“It most likely that the king of Vinos is the one who started it as he wants revenge on an expert,” Old Moon said.

“Revenge for what,” Lucifer asks.

“Well he a very lustful person as when he spots a beautiful woman he will take advantage of her using his power as a king but he tried to take advantage of an expert daughter. As you might imagine that expert flew in a rage and instead of killing him he castrated him,” Old Moon said.

“Why doesn’t he just summon expert just to heal him,” Lucifer said.

“He tried and was told unless he breaks into the immortal realm he will have no chance of recovery,” Old Moon said.

“What realm is he currently in,” Lucifer decided to ask.

“He's at late origin realm but has a slim chance of breaking through as he already 4800 years old already,” Old Moon said.

“How long ago was he crippled few thousand years?” Lucifer asked since the king should look in his eighties.

“About decade ago,” Old Moon said.

Hearing Old Moon Lucifer almost fell from the sky. In his memories, he remembers that martial artist who think that it impossible to progress any further will often surround themselves with money, women, and their hobbies.

The two flew for few more hours before they decided to and for the night. That night demon beasts in a twenty-mile radius of that campsite had a night of terror as Lucifer killed over ninety. Old Moon who watch from the sky just sat back and watch wondering when Lucifer going to reach the realm where he doesn’t need to sleep.

For most, by reaching golden core realm they should be able to skip sleep all together but a feeling telling him that Lucifer needs to reach higher for that effect. The feeling of a cultivator is not to be taken lightly as they are mostly right.

The two spent five days doing this as they traveled to the south. By the time they have arrived Lucifer looked focus and recently been sleeping. The two soon arrived in a city named South Town where they decided that for the next year they are living.

“I will go investigate while you by the house,” Lucifer said to Old Moon as he ran off.

“Meet me back here in an hour though,” Old Moon shouted.

“He looks to be having fun,” Old Moon said as he enters a line for the retailed building.

While walking through the streets Lucifer wonders and bought a snack from the food vendors while gathering some information. What he gathers was things about what around the town and things to watch for in the forest.

“Beware of the Lion Squirrel as those things are quick and have great strength,” an older woman said as he picks up an apple.

“Thanks for the information,” Lucifer said as he left.

“What a strange child,” The woman said seeing Lucifer leave.

Lucifer who spent the last hour asking around gather much useless information but gained rumor about the whereabouts of ‘flower killer’ who is rumored to be in the town. Arriving at the meetup spot lucifer spots Old Moon sitting on a bench talking to an elderly man.

“I have returned,” Lucifer said as he neared Old Moon.

“Good, now that you’re here meet my old friend Sen,” Moon said.

“Nice to meet you, young man,” Sen said.

“Same to you,” Lucifer said back.

“Sen has kindly offered us a place to live for the next year in his mansion,” Moon said.

“Why won’t we be bothering him then,” Lucifer asks.

“It no problem since only I and few old servants live there now so most rooms are empty anymore,” Sen said with a small laugh.

“So what did you gather Lucifer,” Moon asked.

“Flower Killer seem to be in town and base on his pattern ready to strike any day now, as for other not much other than local demon beasts,” Lucifer said.

“Hard at work already when you just arrived,” Sen said standing up.

“Well I see you later,” He said before walking away.

“Since we're here and there still few hours before night let go hunting some sea beasts,” Moon said and Lucifer nodded.
