Under the blue sky that was filled with soft clouds, the wind moved the trees flying the leaves, the birdsong made the atmosphere calmer, very calm.
Located on the border between the Blue Diamond empire and the Black Sun Empire, stood a large sect that had existed for several hundred years ago to have an area the size of a city, the sect was named, The Heaven Moon Sect.
The sect was surrounded by towering trees, seemingly so fused with the environment. In the middle of the forest, two people were walking towards the Heaven Moon Sect, they were Nang In who was holding a blue haired girl and beside her Liang Chou.
Their journey did not suffer too much interference other than the attacks from the demonic beasts or the person who wanted to rob them, both of them continued on their way until arriving at Heaven Moon Sect.
As another few meters reached the entrance, from behind the tree appeared a few Cultivators wearing sect uniforms similar to the uniforms Liang Chou wore, who were not, they were disciples - disciples of the Heaven Moon Sect.
"Honor to Elder Liang!", the disciples instantly cupped their fists to Liang Chou.
"Chairman Liang, what happened to you? and where are the other Elders?" said one of the students in a panicked tone to see the condition of his Elders.
Seeing Liang Chou who was speechless and had no intention of answering, the disciple immediately said.
"Oh right, forgive your sassy disciple", the disciple bowed his body, then said to the other disciple, "Wait for what else, quickly open the gate! and tell me about Master Liang's arrival!"
"Geek!" the disciples answered in unison, doing as the young man had commanded.
Seeing the young man with an appearance of his age commanding another disciple, Nang In thought that the young man had an unusual identity.
The young man glanced towards Nang In who was carrying the blue-haired girl with a cynical look, then walked towards the sect leaving the two of them.
Nang In only smiled slightly in response to the displeasure the young man had given her.
Liang Chou invited Nang In to enter, both of whom entered the sect.
When Nang In and Liang Chou entered the sect, they were immediately welcomed by the male disciples as well as the female disciples, some Elders also greeted them, they were so shocked when they saw Liang Chou's missing right arm and right eye.
In the middle of the crowd arrived - there was a cry of a woman who looked panicked, the characteristics of the woman were very similar to the blue-haired girl who was being carried by Nang In.
"My son - My son! how is my son!", the woman barged into the crowd towards Nang In who was holding a girl.
"How's my son doing!?" The woman immediately asked Nang In in a panic.
Nang In was about to reply, but Liang Chou spoke first, "Miss Ling, please calm yourself first"
Hearing Liang Chou's reply the woman was enraged, "How can it be quiet if my son-", but her words choked when she saw Liang Chou's condition.
The woman wanted to say, but Nang In interrupted first, "Miss, your daughter is just starving and exhausted, there's nothing to worry about"
Hearing that, the woman immediately let out a sigh of relief, she immediately took the blue haired girl from Nang In's sling and brought her inside.
"Chairman Liang, what happened to you and where are the other Elders?"
A middle-aged man with a bushy mustache and beard approached them, the disciples surrounding them saluted, Nang In could only frown while Liang Chou, who was the only one around them, showing an expression of displeasure towards the old man, even so he still insisted on being friendly.
"Chairman Hwang, as usual when on the way, we were attacked by some mercenary rats", Liang Chou forced a friendly smile.
The two smiled at each other yet somehow the smiles of the two of them were more like a sign of hostility.
"Truely, forgive my disrespectful actions, you must be tired right? please Elder Liang" the middle-aged man smiled as he invited Liang Chou to walk first.
"Thank you" Liang Chou said with a smile.
As the two of them passed by, the middle-aged man's gaze led to Nang In, a young man whom he could not read his practical level. When the two of them had already moved away, the middle-aged man's hands clasped tightly, his eyes piercing sharply towards Liang Chou and Nang In.
Nang In clearly knew that the middle-aged man was one of the traitors of the sect that Liang Chou was referring to.
Along the way, Nang In was unceasingly glimpsed or talked about by disciples of the sect, hentinya, either because his face was too flashy or they thought that Nang In was a disciple that was raised directly by Liang Chou.
Liang Chou himself was the youngest Elder to reach the Earth Foundation Mid-stage realm making him an Elder who was said to be a genius figure, many disciples who wanted to study directly with him, but were rejected, as well, for some reason Liang Chou refused to raise a disciple.
It made some disciples mistake and jealous when Nang In was close to Liang Chou.
Liang Chou escorted Nang In to an empty room to rest, before he asked Nang In to be willing to bear witness to the attack.
When alone in the room, Nang In did not rest, but instead cultivated using the Emperor Body technique, he took out some demonic cores that he brought from Spice Island to speed up his cultivation technique.
Late afternoon, Nang In continued to cultivate despite not finding any sign that he was going to ascend to the Earth Foundation level, he recalled Zhou Jin's remark that it was very easy when a Cultivator wanted to rise to the Qi Gathering level, but when reaching the Earth Foundation most Cultivators would experience quite a difficult rise.
Given Nang In's talent being so low when raising his cultivation level, he could only sigh slowly, laying down the body on the floor, he thought of many things.
But at that very moment, the murderous air that was so intense was pointing at him, Nang In instantly got up and took out a sword, wary of the impending attack.
Swoshis!
Klang's!
From behind the door a small blade flew towards him, Nang In repelled it easily but right then and there, several figures wearing black clothes and white masks attacked him simultaneously.
Cracks!
Nang In reflexively coated his body with ice, as soon as the sword and blade that led to him froze, the masked soldiers were shocked when Nang In took out the ice basic spirit.
One of them gave the code to his colleagues to escape, Nang In who knew it certainly did not intend to let it go.
"Don't think you guys can kabu-"
Wush!
Before he attacked, a dazzling bright light throughout the room covered his sight. A short while after the light was gone, the white masked figure had already lost its escape.
Knowing that Nang In snorted annoyedly, when also one knee stuck to the floor, it turned out that a dagger had stuck in his thigh.
