Heaven, Earth, Me

Chapter 899: Silent Arrival.

Deep into the mountains, there was a valley entrance that looked inhospitable. Surrounded by poison gas and many powerful venomous insects, this place was somewhere nobody would even attempt to approach. Moreover, because it was between two very large mountains, the sun rarely shone there, making the place feel cold and humid.

However, if one looked closer, one would be able to see that there were around 20 people camouflaged with the surroundings and guarding the valley's entrance.

One of them spoke. "This is probably the easiest job in this sect, right? Like, who will appear? There were only three sightings in the last five years, hahaha. Moreover, they were lost people who were easy to get rid of."

Another commented with a doubtful tone. "Even then, us speaking is a bit too much, no? We should be silent, just in case."

A third one clicked their tongue. "I've been doing this for a few months already, I haven't even seen a wild animal around here. We should be one of, if not the, best-protected sect in the World."

A woman sighed. "Even then, we lost our Nine Sect status because of the Astral Sky Sect Master."

"Right... Speaking of her, she has recently started an all-out war by capturing the wolf race."Follow the latest novels at wuxiahere.com

"I heard! She went with her army during Fu Lang Zu's wedding day. Then, she captured Fu Lang Zu, got rid of the entirety of the Fu family, and finally gave the throne to Fu Lang Zu's future wife, who, by the way, was in love with one family member of the Astral Sky Sect Master's family!"

"Hahaha! Cuckolded to oblivion and back! They actually cucked him and annihilated his family! Hilarious."

"Hey, don't be like that. At least, they were our allies."

A mesmerizing voice reached them. "Right? They were your allies, but now they are mine. What a shame indeed."

The twenty people looked sideways toward the source and saw one of the most beautiful women on the continent smiling at them. She laughed a bit and asked. "Why stop speaking? Is it because I joined?"

The twenty people would've usually attacked by now. However, they couldn't. Their bodies were filled with fear as all their muscles tensed.

Even if the creature before them was much more enchanting and attractive than they'd ever imagined, her identity made it clear to them that if they attacked, they would be killed.

The guard leader asked with a stutter. "L-Lady Yasenia, what are you doing here?"

The dragoness tilted her head. "Why should I tell you?"

The guard gulped and laughed awkwardly. "Right, right. Why should such an esteemed person say anything to this little me?"

The dragoness smiled, amused. "Well, I can, though. Do you want to know?"

The guard stuttered. "I-If there is a price, I would like to not listen."

Yasenia walked forward toward the entrance of the Valley while chuckling. "Clever people~. The sect is lucky to have you." With a pondering look, Yasenia commented. "So, how attached are the twenty of you to the Silent Fang Sect?"

They all felt their bodies burst with cold sweat. 'S-She isn't here to swallow this sect as well, right? No. How does she know we are situated here?!'

The dragoness looked at the walls where the twenty people were camouflaged and blinked. "That technique is quite nice. Even though you are all mid-level Ethereal Soul people, you managed to make it a bit harder to notice you! That's a big achievement!"

'A-A bit harder?'

Yasenia reached the entrance to the valley and leaned over to look down. "Hm... quite dark. Isn't living in such a dark environment a bit of a bother? Or are there lights inside your headquarters? Perhaps the light is kept inside the buildings so as not to alert other people, right?"

The 20 people didn't dare answer or fight. One of them flicked their hand, summoning an alerting tool.

However, before she could rip the alerting talisman in half, a person appeared by her side, grabbing her hand; her heart almost jumped out of her throat out of fright. A voice whispered in her ear. "Don't be silly. We want to give the Silent Fang Sect a surprise. What if alerting them makes the sect people miss the same surprise you are feeling?"

As soon as they thought that, they saw the cute blonde woman with large breasts taking out a disk and throwing it forward.

In an instant, a circle expanded for several kilometers outward and disappeared. Then, they heard. "Yasenia, I've blocked the teleporting talismans and life-saving treasures related to space!"

Yasenia leaned forward and rewarded her with a kiss. "Great job, baby. Let's go down."

The twenty people's eyes twitched, and after a long consideration, they decided to ask aloud. "L-Lady Yasenia! Can we leave?"

The dragoness looked at them and blinked. "Really?"

They looked at each other and nodded. Yasenia sighed. "Well, I thought that you would have a bit more backbone and at least stay here just in case we were repelled."

Andrea sighed. "Your only option for survival was to keep being loyal to the sect. You see, Yasenia hates gutless traitors quite a lot." Andrea muttered. "Of course, if you retaliated, you would also die. So, in truth, this was not fair for you, and the outcome was almost predetermined. My words of warning were wasted."

Cecile nodded. "They were. I told you killing them would be best and faster. Although, your words actually made me doubtful."

Andrea laughed. "Oh? Did I manage to trick you? Have you forgotten that those automatic formations would've meant nothing with Angel and the others? Killing them is the safest path."

Cecile blinked twice and said bluntly. "Oh. It's true. I was tricked."

The other girls laughed. Yasenia looked at Doriel and said. "Two seconds."

Doriel became a shadow that expanded to cover the entire valley in a second. In the next second, flashes of dark light appeared everywhere around the twenty people, and by the end of the second second Doriel reappeared by Yasenia's side. "Done, Young Miss."

Yasenia smiled. "Great job. Let's go."

A high-level Epoch Core man looked at the 20 people and asked. "What did Lady Doriel do, Sect Master?"

Yasenia commented as they descended. "She sliced their souls out of their bodies, effectively killing them by leaving a husk behind."

The High-level Epoch Core looked at Doriel with appreciation. "That's impressive, Lady Doriel. What do you call those martial arts you used?

Doriel answered. "[Curse Shadow Domain: Soul Severing]."

The High-level Epoch Core became thoughtful. He was a darkness-attributed cultivator, so he felt that he might be able to learn it. However, guessing his thought process, Doriel explained. "You need to become an adept curse user. It's not an easy skill to learn, even with the proper affinities."

The man nodded. "I see. Well, Spiritual Cultivation seems much more complex than Body Cultivation. Speaking of which, Sect Master, when will you share Spiritual Cultivation with the elders and disciples of the sect?"

Yasenia smiled and asked. "Do you want to learn the spiritual path as well?"

The raven man laughed. "Yes. I understand that Sect Master's strength is largely due to talent, but even that has limits. Sect Master must be practicing both a spiritual and body path, right?"

Yasenia didn't bother covering it. "That's right. However, it is harder than you might think... Hm... I don't want you to focus on the Spiritual Path since it is something with no returns until much later. I would prefer it if you all focused on gaining more strength and reaching the peak of the fifth realm. When the war ends, I promise to open the Spiritual Technique library to everyone."

The man smiled and cupped his fist. "Thank you, Sect Master."

Yasenia nodded and commented. "Now, focus. We are arriving in enemy territory. While our strength is high, never underestimate the enemy. A Nine Sect must have many tricks under their sleeves. The probability for some of us to die is high!"

"Understood, Sect Master!"
