Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

\"You must be a spy sent here in hopes of infiltrating the evil sects. They know that us devil cultivators pass through this path quite often, but since they can't defeat us, they sent a weak boy here. Did you really think that he would gain our sympathy and be taken to our Sect?\" She let out as a cruel smile appeared on her face.

She raised her sword high in the sky and swung it down towards the boy.

The sword looked like it was sharp enough to slash the boy in two parts. Just as the sword was about to touch the body of the boy, it was stopped. 

\"Hmm... No one came out to save you. Either you're not a spy or they don't care for your lives. I think the first one is the most probable. Whatever, I'll take you with me. \" She muttered as she kept the sword back in its sheath.

She asked towards the boy and checked on him. 

She noticed that his breathing was stable and there was no wound on his body. 

\"It's quite strange for you to be here though, I guess I'll ask you when you wake up. \" She muttered softly as she picked the boy up in her arms and walked towards the flying eagle.

The flying eagle flew high in the sky as it carried the mysterious girl and an even more mysterious boy that was unconscious.

They flew for over half an hour before they reached a majestic looking place.

\"We're finally back to our Sect. Sigh, I can't wait to get my reward for completing the mission. \" The girl let out with an excited expression on her face.

The place had many buildings and arenas. There was a long boundary that covered the whole Sect. The walls of the boundary were over ten meters tall.

The whole Sect looked like it covered an area of more than a hundred square kilometers. In simpler terms, the area of the Sect was equal to the area of around 19000 football fields.

Although the massive structures and courtyards had used quite a lot of this area, there were also massive fighting arenas and a big field that was used to grow herbs on a daily basis.

The flying eagle of the girl entered the boundary of the sect without being stopped. The guards did notice the flying eagle, but they ignored it. Probably because they knew who the girl was. 

The eagle flew for quite some time before it landed in a certain place after its master ordered it.

It was a beautiful looking building that covered an area of around 50 square meters. The door was over 3 meters tall and 6 meters wide.

Many people could be seen entering and leaving the building.

She got off the flying eagle and wallet towards the building while carrying the young boy in her arms.

Many people stared at her, to be exact they stared at the young boy in her arms and wondered what she was doing here with a boy.

The girl didn't mind their gazes and entered the building.

There were more than a hundred people in the large hall.

The girl walked towards the counter.

\"Hey, Mia. Who's that kid you're carrying? Is that your son? Who's the father?\" A mocking voice was heard in the hall. Mia stopped in her tracks as she looked back towards the person who had just talked to her like that.

\"Situ Mu! Don't think that just because you're the Elder's disciple, I won't beat the shit out of you.\" Mia said with her usual icy expression.

\" Hahaha, do you really think that you can attack me? Don't forget the rules. The core disciples aren't allowed to fight each other.\" A wide grin appeared on the man's face as he replied.

\"You know that the rules are only made as guidelines. We aren't in a righteous Sect! I don't feel the need to follow the rules. I don't think that sect will punish me too badly for breaking half of your teeth.\" A heavy aura came out of Mia and it felt like she was ready to attack.

\" You can't be serious.\" Situ Mu let out with a stunned look on his face. He couldn't believe that Mia actually wanted to fight inside the mission hall. 

' If you want to test me, just try saying that one more time and you'll see how serious I am.\" Mia let out in full seriousness as he looked in Situ Mu's uncertain eyes.

\" Hmm... I don't have time to waste on you. I'm quite busy today. I'll take you up on your offer some other day.\" The boy called Situ Mu shook his head as he passed by her and left.

\" Hmph... coward.\" Mia snorted as she continued towards the counter. There was only one line, in which 10 people were waiting for their turn. As soon as they noticed Mia walking towards them, they started sweating.

All the people left the line and cleared the path for the girl to reach the Elder that was behind the counter. The line had disappeared.

There was not much change in the girl's expression as she noticed all this. She just stepped forward and stood in front of the Elder.

\"Oh, Mia. I was wondering when you would be back from the mission.  Just like always, you completed an A-rank mission in less than a month. No wonder you're called the strongest core disciple of the sect.\"

\" Elder jests. I'm not the strongest. Anyways, how did you know that I completed the mission? I haven't said anything?\" She asked with a confused look on her face.

\" Hah, Just call it faith. I have full belief that you completed the mission. Only a fool will think that the battle fairy of the Mighty Demon Sect can fail her mission.\" The Elder couldn't help but laughed as he replied.

\"Elder is right. I have completed the mission. The target has been eliminated. Here is the badge of that core disciple of the Earthly Thunder Sect.\" The woman said in an expressionless tone as she placed a token on the top of the counter in front of the Elder.
