Death... and me

Sure enough, someone arrived at the Freedom Sect sometime later. The airship that person came with was also as big as the sect's airship. 

Not long after, a voice echoed throughout the entire sect, saying, "Fizer, are you not coming out to welcome me?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the airship, just to see a middle-aged woman standing at the front of the deck. Surprisingly, even at her age, she was a stunning beauty. And if one looked closer, one could see six female cultivators on her sides, all much younger but just as beautiful as herself.

Rean and Roan's Spiritual Sense quickly covered the airship, and they were able to see the cultivations of the six women. However, they couldn't see the cultivation of the middle-aged woman at the center...until they activated Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill. Based on the power of the Spiritual Sense, Rean and Roan finally found out her cultivation as well.

The six young women were all in the Core and Soul Fusion or the Nascent Soul Realm. As for the middle-aged woman at the center, she was a Middle Stage Saint Realm cultivator.

Rean and Roan didn't do anything, though. They knew that woman was the one Fizer talked about. 

A moment later, a laugh came from inside the sect, saying in response, "Hahaha! So you've finally arrived, Julia. This old man had been waiting for quite some time." Naturally, that was Fizer's voice. He quickly appeared outside of his chamber and went to welcome Julia at the sect's entrance. "It's good that you came. Come on in, come on in."

Julia gave Fizer a charming smile as she gave the order to move the airship forward. As the airship moved, Julia jumped out of the ship to fly beside Fizer. At the same time, her six disciples followed right behind her. "So, what is it that you called me here for? It better be worth my time."

Soon after, Malo came flying to Fizer's side while carrying Poliana with his Spiritual Energy. "Master, is that the friend you talked about?"

"Master?" Julia looked at Fizer with a surprised expression. "Did you finally find that disciple of yours?"

Fizer nodded as he replied, "I did. He's the most talented boy I've seen so far." Of course, he also thought in his head, 'Except for Rean and Roan, but those two don't count due to their Elemental Affinities. I have no idea how to guide a Dark or Light Element user. Not to mention that they didn't accept my offer anyway.'

Julia quickly used her Spiritual Sense to analyze Malo and couldn't help but widen her eyes as she couldn't help but say, "Such a strong foundation, high cultivation, and young age! Fizer, how the hell did you this brat?"

Julia wasn't the only one surprised. Julia's disciples had quite a prideful expression as they flew by her side. However, after checking Malo with their Spiritual Senses, they had to admit that even they couldn't compare to his talent. 'This guy is bound to do great things,' they all thought.

"Oh? You're already surprised?" Fizer laughed as he said, "Then, why don't you go ahead and check this sect with your Spiritual Sense? Don't worry, I won't think of it as disrespectful."

Be it Julia or her disciples, they all got curious, so they quickly spread their Spiritual Senses for real. Well, they had done that before, but they didn't pay too much attention to the disciples moving around below until now.

"What?!" Julia quickly caught the presence of Falas, Wakaba, Poliana, Glennie, and many, many women with very high cultivations for their age. Not only that, every single one of them had excellent foundations. "What's happening here? There are at least a thousand women with as much talent as my disciples! Not only that, but there are quite a lot that surpass them as well!"

"Master! How can you say that in front of us?" one of her disciples complained.

Julia looked back before shaking her head, saying, "Have I ever lied before? I always say whatever I think, and you should know that. Anyway, it's not like I would suddenly abandon you or your sisters in the airship either, so stop acting as if you had been forgotten."

The girl who said that stuck her tongue out, obviously acting playfully to her master. "Sigh...when will you ever grow?"

Julia then looked back at Fizer and went straight to the point. "I want all of them. As for the boys in the middle, just kick them to some corner."

Poliana's mouth twitched when she heard that. With that, she could not help but say to Fizer, "Senior Fizer, is that how your friend intends to help our sect's disciples? All the members here have been together since we were freed by Rean and Roan. I won't allow anyone to separate us!" Poliana then grabbed Malo beside her before saying, "Sect Master? Don't you have anything to say?"

"Sect Master?!" Julia looked at Malo with shock. "How the hell does this sect filled with women have a guy as a Sect Master?"

Malo scratched the back of his head as he thought, 'I wonder the same thing every single night.' Of course, he knew why. Everyone simply trusted him. It was that simple.

Julia's expression turned dark before pointing at Fizer, asking as she narrowed her eyes, "You forced this decision with your strength, right? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

Fizer felt like giving Julia a beating. She was really annoying when it came to other female cultivators. "Fuck you! Just so you know, my disciple here was already the Sect Master when I arrived. Don't accuse others without proof." 

Julia then looked at Malo, asking, "What have you done?"

Malo shrugged his shoulders in response, saying, "Nothing at all. We simply held an election (which I didn't want to take part in). In the end, the majority of the sect voted for me to be the Sect Master."

Poliana quickly grabbed Malo's arm and added, "Over 90% of the sect voted on him, me included. If you keep accusing others, I'll kindly ask you to leave. No one here wants to hear you badmouthing Malo or any of the other boys of the Sect."

Seeing how serious Poliana looked, Julia finally decided to calm herself down. "Fine! I'll trust you for now." What a joke. She found a paradise of talented disciples. There's no way in hell would she leave right now. 

That's the kind of person Julia was. She loved to gather female disciples and train them. The fact that she has Nascent Soul Realm disciples showed the effort she put into them. These six disciples by her side and the ones in the airship were just a few of them. There was some more outside training as well.
