Martial research master

Sheng Luo was sitting within his room near the altar, practising cultivation. It was thanks to the water element crystal provided by Li Meng, along with the fire energy from the altar which was helping his cultivation.

"Did you manage to break-through to the 9th layer of Qi King?"

"I can feel the level drawing loser. I am confident in breaking through level 9 of Qi King within the next week. My law base is almost full."

"I guess there would be a slight delay in the plans. I can't wait within the mountains for too long. I have two more weeks at max before I need to return to the sect for another task. I will have your breakthrough at the Qi Emperor level by that time."

"How can that be possible. To you want me to suffer from cultivation deviation." Sheng Luo couldn't help but criticize Li Meng. Anger was visible on his face.

"You have got some guts, to try and shout at me like that." Li Meng vanished from sight and the next moment something pulled Sheng Luo's torso and banged his body against the nearest wall with a great amount of force. Sheng Luo immediately felt his internal organ shaken. The blood almost reached his mouth.

Veins were popping his eyes, as he looked at the figure holding his neck. " Your recent improvement to 8th layers seems to have increased your confidence by quite a bit.", Li Meng simply threw him on the floor and looked at him with serious eyes. " Remember, you would never be able to surpass me with such a pathetic attitude."

The words were like sword strikes to Sheng Luo, and he immediately vomited blood.

"How did a weakling like you manage to form two law bases with such compatible laws?" Li Meng looked at him. He then threw a pill at Sheng Luo. " Eat it." Sheng Luo looked angrily at Li meng and threw it away.

"Aww." Li Meng gave out a condescending look, before grabbing the pill and forcefully pushing it into Sheng Luo's mouth. " this is the last time I will remind you. You are my servant. My orders are absolute."

The pill showed its effect quite fast as Sheng Luo's injury healed up. The Crimson-fox's flame was quite helpful to LI Meng in concocting powerful pills like that. He then took out a small pouch from his vest and threw it at Sheng Luo.

"Within this is a special type of pill which I managed to formulate specifically for you. They are formed from the purest power of element stones and will help you in filling up the required limit to break through the 9th level."

"It will not cause any backlash, as it will not be promoting you to a higher level, but rejuvenating and filling the law base. Once you manage to step into the 9th level, I left a manuscript to teach you formation, which might be able to help you reach the very peak of Qi King. That is my parting gift before l leave this place."

Sheng Luo was surprised to see such a calm expression on Li Meng's face. He didn't even flinch a little bit while giving out such a huge amount of resources. He grabbed the pouch and looked inside just to see shiny pills extruding incredible medical energy.

"I won't be helping you in your breakthrough to the emperor level. That is something you need to comprehend on your own. But I will be providing the necessary resources required for the breakthrough."

"The date of my departure is coming near and you are the key to the success of my plans. You will be the one who is going to capture and take control of the Taiwan mountains. I will be taking my leave now."

" How did you manage to break through so soon? I felt your aura before, and it was in the 7th level of Qi King. The law energy was even more complex than earlier. How did you?"

"You shouldn't mingle your brains into matters which doesn't concern you. I haven't applied any sort of restriction on you because I need you to serve me faithfully. If you want to avenge your humiliation, you would need to become stronger than me. Show your face to me when can do that."

"I will be wreaking havoc in the eastern region from now on. Before leaving, I will open up the path for your to follow in capturing the whole eastern border. That is going to be your aim before you can try to obtain the treasure within this mountain."

Sheng Luo was shocked upon hearing Li meng's words.

"What do you mean?"

"What else? I would have taken the inheritance if you would have managed to assure me that you would be able to hold your grounds in this world. The brawl just now proved that you are not much. You will need to improve your strength. Use the inheritance in the cave to improve your strength."

"Your mission is quite clear. You will be taking over the eastern region before appearing on the royal road. Meanwhile, I will try to find another inheritance for you which could complement your other law."

"This is going to be one of the most important locations of control of my force. This is where the dominator's plan will set up its root.".  Li Meng's expression turned evil at the moment.

Sheng Luo couldn't help but feel both admiration and fear from the man in front of him.

"The information collected from the vice-leader indicates that there is another brother of the Mad-lion's leader. He is said to be the strongest and most talented of the three. If I have to predict, I will say that he is a Heavenly Law user, who is at the peak of Qi King at the very least. He must be bust breaking through the Qi Emperor level."

"He will be returning soon, and that is when Mad-lions will be taking complete control over the region. You need to be aware of the fact that they would be having three Qi Emperors at that times, making them by far the most powerful force within the border areas."

"Even if you break through the Qi Emperor level, you would at most be able to confront the three of them on equal footing. You need the inheritance to be powerful enough and take control over the whole region."

"Today will be the last appearance of our group. The next time you will make an appearance will be when you break through and obtain the inheritance. I have left enough resources in the hands of the vice-leaders to help you train all the troop members to the advacne level of Qi King. I even left a lot of martial arts for the troops to learn."

"I hope the next time we face each other, I will see a new you. I would like to get the news of our group to have dominated the eastern borders of Taiwan mountains"

Li Meng turned around to leave the room when Sheng Luo spoke again.

"What do you want to name it?"

"Crimson Dominators." Li Meng said.

He then vanished from the spot.

..................…

"I guess you have begun to set up your force within this world." The Keeper said in a questioning tone.

"I had to do it at some point in time. Why not now. I could feel that the Taiwan mountain holds much more secrets than we could fathom. It is only fair that I treat it as the treasure trove it truly is." Long Tao said.

"I guess the Crimson Dominators is going to be the base for the future Crimson Lord sect."

"Who said I am setting up a Crimson Lord sect?" Long tao said in a sarcastic tone. The Keeper couldn't help but look at Long Tao with an irritated look.

"Don't look at me with such animosity. Also, know your place." Long Tao gave a serious glance to the Keeper. For some reason, the Keeper felt a slight shiver in his back." I am not requesting you to oblige, I am ordering it."

The Keeper gave a confused look to Long Tao. 

"I might think about setting up a Crimson Lord sect If I felt like it." LonG tao gave a cold smile and left for the throne room.

The Pill pavilion master and training hall master appeared beside the Keeper.

"He is slowly turning into that man. I feel that he might be even more cold-blooded than him." The training hall master said.

"What makes you say that?"

"That man was cold, but he relied on his strength to achieve the things he did. This boy doesn't care about face, strength, honour. His only objective is to come out at the very top. He is unconcerned of the consequences as long as he is the winner."

"Maybe that is what we lacked which resulted in the current conditions of ours. He might just be the right person." The Keeper said to himself while looking at the departing figure of Long Tao.

"It is. We await the incoming of good news."
