Cian suddenly flashed a smile and said confidently.

“Are you worried about me? Don’t worry, I might not look like it, but I’m a generational genius of my Church. Even if Byeong-Ho of the Huashan Sect were to challenge me, I could take him on!”

Little Zeel snorted and said.

“Who’s worried about you? I’m worried about how my Master would feel if he saw someone from the Church living on the Alchemy Mountain so close to his courtyard. If I could, I would have chased all of you bastards out of the Academy!”

Cian paused, and he seemed to realize something that made him ask slowly.

“How would your Master react?”

“He would be angry, extremely angry.”

“Why would he be angry at my Church?”

“Huh? Bastard, it’s because you lot destroyed his village so of course-“

Little Zeel abruptly closed his mouth, and he seemed to regret saying that. He then shot an angry look at Cian.

Cian immediately raised his hands and assured Little Zeel.

“I swear on my Church that I will never reveal this information to anyone. Your Master… he’s from the Ibbian Mountain Range, isn’t he?”

Little Zeel remained silent before he said.

“No, he’s not, I’m leaving.”

Little Zeel was extremely regretful that he was so careless to reveal his Master’s secret.

“Wait!”

Cian suddenly appeared in front of Little Zeel in the blink of an eye.

Little Zeel’s eyes narrowed while shock was evident in them.

Cian was extremely fast, so much so Little Zeel didn’t even see how he appeared in front of him.

Cian looked down at Little Zeel and said.

“When is your Master coming back to the Academy? I want to meet with him.”

Little Zeel gained a serious continence.

“Why do you want to meet my Master? If you’re planning a harming him then I’ll-“

“No-no, I’m not planning on hurting him, rather I’m planning on apologizing to him.”

Little Zeel paused and then shook his head after a moment.

“Do you think apologizing will be enough after what your church did? I don’t understand why you’re so strange and friendly compared to those back in the village, but if my Master ever sees you, then he might really flip out and kill you out of anger. Even I was tempted to do so in the beginning.”

Cian thought back on when he first met Little Zeel and realized those vines were meant to kill him, and not keep him away from his courtyard.

Cian forced a smile and said.

“I have to at least try. My whole purpose in coming here is to change my Church. I’ve tried to do so from the inside, but the influence of a corrupt doctrine has spread throughout the seven Churches from the lowest member all the way up to the Cardinal who leads the Seven Churches. So, I am now forced to seek outside help to change the fate of my Church.”

Little Zeel went silent after listening to Cian. After a moment, he said.

“I don’t know when my Master will return, perhaps before the Tournament starts.”

After saying this, Little Zeel’s figure turned into a green blur as he ran away.

Cian watched as Little Zeel left before he muttered.

“Sol… if I can get someone like him who’s been so greatly affected by my Church to forgive us, then there is hope that I can achieve my goal. I’ll just have to wait to meet this person.”

After saying this, Cian headed for his courtyard and was about to push open the door to enter. However, he paused and glanced at a rock nearby.

He sighed before he turned and entered his courtyard.

After Cian closed the gate of his courtyard, the rock’s shadow suddenly shifted, and a youth around thirteen or fourteen came out.

He had long black hair that was tied at the back. A headband was around his forehead while two strands of hair loosely hung at the sides of his face.

He was currently wearing the Alchemy Pavilion’s yellow robes, but one could faintly see in his sleeves that he had on a skintight black suit underneath.

With slightly thin eyebrows slanted over his round distinct eyes, coupled with his soft immature features, he seemed like a mischievous brat with one glance.

He just so happens to be quite handsome as well.

This youth casually sat on the rock and sighed as he folded his arms.

“This bastard is really formidable. My Shadow Arts has only ever been seen through by Big Brother Sol, but even he wasn’t able to see through it with a glance. Just how strong is this Cian person?”

As Ushi muttered to himself, he took a glance at the gate of the Courtyard. After a moment of deliberation, he decided not to try and sneak in.

“That ability he displayed in the alleyway was quite terrifying. If it were me, I might not be able to shake off its effects in a short period of time. But it’s strange…”

Ushi wore a confused expression.

“Over the past few months, I’ve read about the Western Continent’s cultivation system and the mysterious abilities they possess, but I’ve never read about an ability that could affect one’s soul from the Church. Maybe those Warlock Families have a Spell like that, but not the Church.”

Ushi scratched his head in confusion and his curiosity towards this Cian person started to increase.

Ushi tapped the black sword strapped to his waist, and after a few more glances towards the courtyard, his body suddenly glowed with a dark haze before his figure suddenly vanished.

After he left, something strange happened.

Cian’s body appeared in the same position he was standing in while talking to Little Zeel.

It seemed like he hadn’t moved an inch. In fact, if anyone else was here they would have been able to weirdly see him standing there looking at Ushi who was oblivious of his existence.

Cian sighed.

If Ushi had made a move to enter his courtyard he would have turned around and left. He realized that a lot of people were following him not just Ushi, but if they were even going to follow him to where he slept, he might as well not stay here.

“This brat is the most persistent of the people following me. He must be the Young Master of the Miura Clan in the Land of Shadows. How annoying, someone should really put a leash on him.”

Cian sighed once more after saying this, and this time headed for his courtyard for real.

He was in enemy land, if he wasn’t this careful at all times then he would be a fool.

However, after Cian entered his courtyard, the shadow of the rock trembled ever so slightly before a voice was heard muttering.

“So that ability he used in the alleyway was actually meant for me. It must be some illusion ability that affects the soul. Haha, how exciting!”

The voice was filled with eagerness as it drifted off.

Meanwhile, in the Shaolin Sect…

“Haha, this great monk is going to catch you!”

In a slightly large room, a flushed face monk who had his upper robes off, while his pants were barely hanging around his waist, was unsteadily running around the room after a beautiful girl in revealing clothes. The girl being chased was giggling non-stop.

At the same time, two girls, who were also in revealing clothes, were seated nearby while smiling coquettishly.

This scene was rather bizarre, to say the least.

The drunk monk was fast, and he easily caught up to the girl next to the bed.

“Ha!”

With one swift motion he leaped at the girl, and the two landed on the bed together.

The girl giggled.

“Young Master Haneul, what do you think you’re doing?”

Haneul pinned the girl’s hands over her head and looked at her with a lecherous smile. He then said in a slurred manner.

“What do you think I’m doing?”

He lowered his lips onto the girl’s and the two kissed deeply.

Slowly the intensity of their movements increased while Haneul slipped a hand into the girl’s upper robes and squeezed.

The girl couldn’t help but release a muffled moan in between their kiss.

This seemed to enliven Hanuel as his groping increased.

Not long after, clothes were coming off, but due to his drunken state, Haneul almost tripped while pulling off his pants.

“Haha…”

The girl who had her naked body exposed on the bed, chuckled in amusement when she saw this.

Haneul blushed embarrassingly, but he soon regained his composer and held his hips as he puffed out his chest.

To say the least, his physique was quite muscular, but rather than that what he was drawing reference to was further below, and the sight caused the girl to pause and stare.

Haneul smirked at her reaction before he crawled on top of her while eyeing her up and down like a predator eyeing its prey.

The girl who was once giggling felt nervousness rise in her heart. Her eyes kept drifting down to Haneul’s lower region. But other than nervousness, she also felt excitement and eagerness.

The two girls who were across the room seemed to be feeling left out so they gave each other a glance before getting up and walking over to the two clothe-less figures sensually squirming around on the messy bed.

The two easily removed their clothes before making their way over to the bed. One went behind Haneul and slowly wrapped her hands around his waist before slowly sliding her hand past his toned abs and between his legs.

“Umph…”

Haneul trembled a bit, meanwhile, the second girl took over for the first to passionately kiss Haneul.

At this moment, Haneul felt complete bliss.
