'I've already killed the daughter of the city lord and the daughter of the Lan Clan. I only have four more left. I think I can finish them all today.
"On going."
I entered the space rift followed by my two little cronies. The next location is the Si Xian Sect; which, as its name indicates, was founded years ago by four wandering cultivators. Currently, the position of sect leader is held by Tian Xin, one of my four remaining targets.
According to the novel, her position in the sect was in danger of being taken away by one of the elders. It wasn't until Ye Xiu's arrival that everything turned in her favor. Helping her stabilize her position and gain pillars of support.
'Well, it's not like it's any of my business.'
As I crossed the crack, I found myself rubbing against the sky. I held the little Ye Li who was still unable to rub. I could see four towering mountain peaks; with buildings of all types on each of the summits. The rumored four peaks of the Si Xian Sect, personally built by the four wandering cultivators. Their cultivation bases were not specified, but it is said that they were close to surpassing the void realm.
In the 317th year since the founding of the sect, they announced that they would go to kill a despicable demon under the orders of The Heavenly Court. Unfortunately, nothing more has been heard from them since then.
I wonder why they went. If even The Heavenly Court, the strongest force asked for help; That means that the enemy was at a much higher level than them. Literally, going is like voluntary suicide.
Did their ego get too high?
If I remember correctly, they were part of one of the squads I killed years ago. At that time, I had not reached the immortal stage yet. I was just a basic void realm cultivator, who was chased by the 'continent colossus'.
In case my assumptions are correct; That means that this group, made up of two men and two women, are the founders of the Si Xian sect. Their teamwork was quite outstanding, even seriously injuring me. I could say that it was quite an achievement for them to have brought me to that state.
I exhaled a sigh, despite having been hurt; I couldn't help but feel jealous of the relationship they had between them. When I killed one of them, they didn't escape; Instead, they attempted to recover the dead man's body and then, try to escape. I barely managed to kill all four, and escaped with my entire body soaked in blood.
How nostalgic, it's incredible that more than a thousand years have passed since then. Although what surprises me most is that the sect has been able to survive all these years in their absence. It seems that his general strength is not too bad either.
'Let's see what its members are like.'
I infused Qi into my eyes, allowing me to sense the presence and cultivation base of the people currently in the sect. Not bad, the number is not very high, but the quality is good. The strength of the Si Xian Sect cannot be considered weak, but they will be able to serve as my cannon fodder for a while.
'What should I do now?'
I have sensed Tian Xin's presence, but it seems that her disciple is not in the sect at the moment. Where could it have gone? Did she go to find Ye Xiu?
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
'What a nuisance.'
This will make things a little more difficult for me. Sigh, there is no choice; Anyway, it's just a matter of time.
"Stay here, I'll go away for a moment."
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, my lord!"
Well, it's time to put my acting skills to use. I infused Qi throughout my body, changing my appearance with every step I take. My hair became shorter; my eyes changed from red to black; my height shrank slightly; the scars also disappeared, leaving a body without visible scratches; and finally, my face changed as if it were clay, until it became the face of my future murderer.
My clothes were also changed to the same ones Ye Xiu wore when he left the Lan Clan territory.
With a snap of a finger, a full-length mirror rubbed in front of me.
'Perfect, identical to the womanizer.'
"Hello, hello, ..., hello."
The voice is also adjusted, I just need to adapt my behavior a little. Although it is not entirely necessary to change my attitude; One's character constantly changes due to the experiences we live and the lessons we learn, it is normal for us to be different than before. Anyway, I will be able to respond easily if they suspect me.
'Since I'm going to do it, why don't I give it some drama?'
I withdrew a sword from the ring, and controlled it with a thread of Qi. The sword roughly cut my left hand; The newly severed hand regenerated quickly, but I stopped it, letting it bleed. The sword continued to leave cuts on my body, causing blood to flow like a river. I sonly topped once I considered it was enough.
The injuries should be serious enough for they don't suspect me. I couldn't make it more realistic than it already is.
Just a final touch is missing to make it perfect. I hit my chest hard, causing blood to flow from the corner of my mouth.
"Coff, Coff,…"
All done. Although i may appear unscathed, this will cause them to let their guard down. All the members know Ye Xiu, so there will be no complications if I pretend to be passed out in front of the sect gates.
Now that I think about it, this all seems pretty romantic. After being seriously injured, I run to my beloved's arms for protection. Saying a few words before I faint would complement the scene very well.
What should I say to touch her heart?
I reflected as I continued my path towards the Si Xian Sect. Blood continued to flow from the cuts, as I thought about what the best sentence would be. After thinking hard, I finally found the answer.
"…"
My steps that previously sped up, gradually slowed down. Why do I complicate my life so much? Should I delete them all and save myself the trouble? I don't remember ever having tendencies to self-harm. I wasn't like that before, I being that I have changed a lot. Who in their right mind would think of seriously injuring themselves, and only for a simple show.
I know that my thoughts may be considered peculiar compared to others; but were they to this extreme? Is this my true way of being? Should I accept once and for all that I'm a weirdo?
I continued to think, not realizing that I had long passed through the doors of the sect. I only regained the clarity of my mind due to the increasing murmurs coming from the disciples and guards.
'Well, I'll think about it another time.'
Seeing one of the guards bravely approaching me, I stopped with my back hunched.
"Call…call…Tian Xin,"
After saying my last words, I fell to the ground. I slowly closed my eyes, watching my surroundings in detail. When I was about to close my eyelids completely, I saw a woman with red hair and beautifully dressed running towards me.
'Here you are, my third dish.'
I adjusted my breathing, making it sound ragged and heavy. Suddenly I felt like I was being carried in a arms. The murmurs that had previously sounded loud gradually became quieter. Tian Xin's voice being the only thing I heard.
"Ye Xiu! What happened to you?! Ye Xiu!"
"Xiao…Xin,…Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me! Do not sleep! Hold!"
The woman continued screaming, in an attempt to wake me up; But I didn't answer her calls. Unlike her, who showed clear anguish; I felt disdain for her behavior. As soon as this feeling arose, doubt took over me.
Am I someone without heart? Making fun of a girl who only cares about the person she loves.
'Mmm'
Is this Mo Hei Xin's personality, or mine?
Well, not that it matters much. In any case, she has already degraded himself enough to voluntarily join a harem.
'Sigh, what should I do with her?'
