As Aiden glanced at the fragments of his mask on the ground, the system once again did its beeping noise inside his mind.

It seemed like it wasn’t done yet.

Keep in mind, that you will have access to the strength of the person you are impersonating, however, it will only be for the duration of the trial.]

[Rewards: Hidden]

[Failure: Death]

‘Why is failure always death? Do you have a problem with me?’ shouted Aiden inside his mind, complaining to the system.

However, this time, the system didn’t answer any cocky response and simply stayed silent as Aiden’s vision started to change from the white room to a completely different world.

All he could see at the moment were five people bowing toward him with their heads down.

Aiden was confused for a little bit, but then he remembered that he had reincarnated in the body of the greatest evil cultivator that existed.

‘Are they waiting for me to speak?’ thought Aiden, as he quickly opened his mouth, not knowing what to do.

“You may rise,” said Aiden, using vocabulary which he thought to be appropriate for this time.

He was in a cultivation world after all and based on how the five people, who were bowing in front of him, were dressed. He knew that this civilization wasn’t really advanced like Nova, the world he had transmigrated into.

Then, the five people who had their heads facing the ground slowly started to lift them up, however, some of them seemed to be shaking while doing so.

‘Is this what strength can cause to others?’ thought Aiden, as he could clearly see that those five people were afraid of him.

“Sect Leader, why have you called us here?” said one of the five people, looking directly into Aiden’s eyes.

The other four quickly turned their heads toward that person, with a look which meant “What are you doing?”

However, Aiden didn’t mind being asked a question and he also couldn’t understand why the others were all acting so shocked.

But, there was still a problem, he had just arrived. He had no idea why he had called those five people here.

Were they supposed to be strong?

Then, Aiden got an idea to fix his problem somewhat.

Well, it would at least give him a better understanding of the situation.

“Why do you think that I brought you here?” said Aiden, completely turning the question around.

The five of them looked at themselves confused as to why their Sect Leader was acting this way.

They were clearly confused as they kept looking at each other, some whispering, some staying completely silent.

“Um, to make us help with the war against the Plum Blossom Sect?” asked one of them, looking up.

‘That’s still way too vague, I still have no idea of how strong they are?’ he thought.

“You’re right about that part. Now, what about the role that I will give all five of you?” asked Aiden, trying to figure out if they had any potential in helping him.

“The role of generals?” said one of them, once again, confused by the question.

All five of them couldn’t begin to understand what was happening to their Sect Leader who was usually strict not even letting them speak up or anything like that.

They were surprised that he was currently asking them questions when he would normally simply order them around as he pleased.

It’s not that they minded Aiden’s current actions, but they just found it weird in general.

‘So, they’re strong,’ thought Aiden, ignoring what the five people in front of him were currently thinking.

He had finally figured out what he had desperately wanted ever since appearing there, figure out what those people’s potential was.

“Well, you’re right, that’s why I called you guys here. You are now the generals for our war against the Plom Blussom Sect,” said Aiden, confirming what all of them had been saying.

But as they all started bowing, one person kept his head straight looking at Aiden.

‘What’s up with him?’ thought Aiden, not sure what was with this look that he was currently receiving.

“Plum Blossom Sect, that’s the name of the sect that we’re going against,” said that person, still looking Aiden dead in the eyes.

‘Is he suspecting something what’s with him? And didn’t I say that?’ thought Aiden, remembering saying a name which resembled that.

“Li Yang, bow your head right now and apologize to our supreme leader,” said one of the people around.

‘Li Yang, what’s that name?’ thought Aiden.

‘Where did I even end up? A cultivation world? What even is that?’ thought Aiden, as multiple questions kept popping inside of his mind.

‘Wait, I’m part of the evil sect, but why are we even evil in the first place?’ 

But, Aiden quickly dismissed all those thoughts as he needed to learn more about the state of their Sect.

However, before doing that, Aiden needed to act like someone who had strength, only glancing at Li Yang with a look that said that he didn’t like what he had been doing.

“Li Yang who gave you the right to talk to me like that,” said Aiden, acting as mad as he possibly could.

‘Why?’

That was the thought of the others who were currently watching this scene. They couldn’t help but wonder why Li Yang was currently offending the Supreme Leader. 

He had no reason to, and their sect simply couldn’t afford to do such a thing in the first place.

“I won’t do it again,” said Li Yang, deciding that he would not continue to disrespect his Sect Leader anymore.
