Chapter 4: What Kind Of Monster Are We Serving
Xue Wutian had lived a long life. For over five thousand years he cultivated and fought and nurtured himself.
Righteous cultivators from all over the realm came but they were all defeated. He had made a name for himself -Bloodfiend . He formed the biggest demon alliance and became its leader along with his nine generals. Abyssal Demon Alliance was something that made the even the most powerful righteous cultivatiors tremble. Even some immortals were defeated when they tried to "impart justice" on them
No matter the foe , he and his generals along with all ten thousand of his brethren overcame it all and in a world where Demonic cultivatiors were scrutinized and targeted , became an untouchable force.
So , what is this choking pressure he is feeling now. His crimson hair is getting hot with sweat and every cell in his body is telling him only one thing.
Death
One wrong move and death. There is no resistance. Only DEATH.
He slightly shifted his gaze to peak at his generals. The closest on to him Mo Tianheng stood still, his curly black hair covering his face like a water , but there was no mistaking the fact that her was trembling as well.
He carefully use him abilities to look around and examin his other generals. Other than Mo Tianheng, Bai Lengxian, He Wuji, Jiao Renxun, Yuan Xun , Luo Yingsha, Chi Wuyan, Xian Zouming and Gu Hensheng all that has different reactions. Some had gone still , some were trembling, some were palapatating but trying to hide it ,but there was one thing they all felt- pure , unadulterated FEAR.
"Arise" the voice sounded and it felt like the weight of the heavens was on them.The presence in the words was enough to exert crushing force on him. He couldn't tell if it was male or female,though
Divine Realm. This has to be someone form the Divine Realm.People valued strength in their subordinates. He cannot show any weakness. With rigid control , he rose from his kneeling position.
He felt the gaze of the person in front of him . He tried to catch a small glimpse of what was pure skin. It seemed that they were no wearing any clothing. Maybe people form Divine Realm didn't care about such things.
The voice sounded again,"Ahm , Why are you all staring at the ground"she finally spoke."
He was surprised with the almost nonchalant question. Do they not realise the kind of pressure they were excerting. Crap . Will they think we are useless and weak.
The world of cultivation was a ruthless, dog eat dog world.People didn't hesitate from stealing frutious encounters and treasures from their comrades and even their family.Demonic cultivatiors were even more ruthless.
The silence that followed was petrifing. He had to do something. He had to save his breathren. With great courage, he finally spoke . "Your Majesty...Do you have any orders for us" He had to do it , he had to prove himself and his breathren worthy.
There was silence. And then , a sif a great burden had been lifted from them, the terrifying pressure disappeared.
He sighed in relief. Then their master spoke again.
"Demon Oni Servants, bring me clothes from inside the palace and dress me". Xue Wutian for the first time, notice another presence or rather a group of presences other than himself and his followers.
They are not ordinary, he thought. Though their auras were well concealed, his experience told him that there were a force to be reckned with.
A few presences with the speed of the wind flew into the palace and returned just as nimbly with what he assumed were clothes.
After a few moments, their Master spoke again "Lift your heads"
Slowly, they all lifted their head and gazed at their Master. He was wearing a Dark black robe and what could only be called a Royal Robe , with golden patterns and different shadings of purple that seems to lusture in under the night .His hair, smooth and thick was nearly made with a jewelled crown . But the most mysterious and eye catching was the mask covering his face. The red stone on the temple as well a the contrast of black and gold along with the incribed designs gave an other worldy look.
Their body was tall . It was difficult to make out their built since the robes on them made it difficult to make it out.
Then his gaze wandered to the one behind them. A tall man , taller than the master stood , with scarlett robes and black robes . He had all the charms of a Demonic Cultivatiors, alluring looks and enchanting aura. A small , red horn poked out from his left scalp , sharp and threatening.The gold on his cloths stated his status above the other Oni Demons . He is powerful, at least Devil Sage Realm or above. As he was assessing, he realised he was being assessed back the other party as well.
"Alright....." a voice intercepted .Their master paused, seeming to gaze of the thousands of figures in front of them. ".....You all, go out and find out about the outside world and report everything to me in the morning....say....after breakfast.The inscriptions on your hands will give to free access to this Realms. Now go" and with that , they turned and made their way into the palace and were followed by the All the other Oni Demons with practiced discipline.
He looked down at his wrist and sure enough inscriptions had appeared. He clenched his fists and turned to look at his subordinates.
His generals moved closer to him and he looked back and with a firm , commanding voice, he ordered,"We move out now, assemble back at the first light of dawn and then compile and prepare for the presentation of all the information"
As he finished, he concentration and exited the realm. This was their first mission. This was their second chance. The were gonna make it count.
