50 Why didn't I know I was in love with a sect master?
Northern Region. Temple of the Dark Moon.
Standing in front of the magnificent palace, Victor said loudly:
“Victor asks the sect master for a meeting!”
After a while, a cold voice rang out:
“Come in.”
With a slight sigh, he hesitantly lifted his legs and entered the hall.
An hour ago he was sleeping peacefully in the arms of Mikena, preparing for the second stage of selection that takes place today, when suddenly the old man from the first selection appeared and relayed the news that the sect master wanted to see him.
The old man only said that the sect master was interested in his talents, which was a little suspicious, but Victor didn’t pay much attention to it, it was impossible to refuse so he left Mikena in the Tangxiang City and followed the old man to the sect.
Of course, he didn’t wake Mikena to talk about it, just leaving her a note since he knew roughly what would happen if he woke her up.-.
Mikena simply wouldn’t let him go, she would insist on going to the Temple of the Dark Moon with him, but the old man clearly said that the sect master only wanted to see him, which was a bit odd.
‘As expected,’ thought Victor, the lobby was adorned with precious stones and other materials, it looked incredibly luxurious.
“Hmm?” After a moment Victor noticed a female figure, which was difficult to see since she was behind a curtain, but even so he sensed that the woman inside was of incredible beauty.
With his hands down, Victor shifted his gaze elsewhere, for looking at this woman for too long, even when they were separated by a curtain, would probably earn him a death sentence.
He knew who this woman was.
Xue Yan. The master of the Temple of the Dark Moon.
A powerful, ruthless woman of demonic beauty and strength who mowed down people like grass. There were many rumors about her, such as:
One day a small clan of cultivators insulted her and eventually the entire city in which the clan was located was annihilated, leaving nothing behind.
Or.
A master of a higher demonic sect fell in love with her at first sight and on impulse asked her to marry him, and the end was sad, not only for him but also for his sect.
Everything about her was destructive, she possessed not only a demonic character but also the power to destroy everything she sought to, even the most influential righteous sects didn’t dare to offend her running away with their tails between their legs.
If she had wanted to conquer the world, it would have been at her feet, but that didn’t happen just because she had no ambition to rule, she didn’t care about anything but the Dark Moon Temple, otherwise the whole world would have been stained in blood.
Before a person like her, Victor would not have the courage to lie or take advantage of her, at least for now, while he was as weak as a mosquito compared to her.
The silence lasted a long time, Victor did not dare to speak first and neither did she start a conversation.
It took an unknown amount of time before the cold voice rang out again:
“Are you afraid of death, Victor?”
“Um?” Victor frowned slightly.
‘What kind of question is that?’ He thought.
Xue Yan had no idea that she had asked such a question to the right person, there was no one who knew the concepts of Life and Death so well.
Victor folded his arms in a horn and said:
“I’m not afraid of death.” – He knew that if he lied he might die, so he told the truth, he really wasn’t afraid of death, unless of course it was a cycle of purgeless reincarnations again. He was only afraid of death in the case, as now, of knowing that he would fall back into this vicious cycle yet again.
Looking at his calm appearance and the words he said, Xue Yan frowned as she realized that his words were true and he wasn’t trying to deceive her, so she frowned.
Boom!
Xue Yan smashed the armrest of the chair she was sitting on.
“That’s the only reason you dared?!”
‘Dared? Dared what? What is she talking about?’ At that moment Victor’s instincts were literally screaming for danger. He didn’t have the faintest clue what she was talking about, because it was their first meeting, he didn’t even know how she looked.
‘Maybe that bastard…’ Just the thought that the past he might have done something against her made Victor shudder, if it really happened he was finished.
Looking at Victor’s silence, Xue Yan became even angrier.
“You dare to fall in love with me and then conquer me under the pretext of joining my temple!”
Victor felt as if lightning struck his head, muttering as if in a daze:
“Falling in love?”
Faced with this question, Victor was silent for a long time while his thoughts were like a huge tsunami.
‘What the hell?!’ he thought, even if he’d had iron balls he wouldn’t have dared to do such a brave thing, especially since he obviously had no business doing it at all. At this point he had a terrifying thought.
‘Could it be the gods?’ But he soon shook his head, for it was impossible according to Mikena, the gods could not descend without paying a heavy price as it was the case Mikena or meaby even death.
The old man, Victor did not consider because they had no animosity and he had no reason to set him up, soon he gave up the idea of thinking who did it as there were literally no options left, it was an unknown person, whom Victor swore if he survived he would take revenge against.
‘What do I do now!?’ Victor wanted to cry, but there were no tears.
It was a deadly situation and the chance of getting out of it was close to zero.
Looking at this woman, who was clearly waiting for his answer and preparing to send him to his death, Victor recalled the many rumors of men who had tried to woo her and ended up dead right after uttering the words.
‘Think! think! think! fuck!’ Cursed Victor trying to think of something on the spot, but there were no such scenes in the novels at all, he couldn’t rely on them for this situation, it was out of scope.
It was impossible to escape, their cultivation levels were like the difference between heaven and earth, and if he attempted to, she would probably kill him in an instant.
Seeing that Victor was still silent, Xue Yan said coldly:
“Still not saying anything?”
Victor flinched slightly, but soon his eyes became resolute again as if he were forced to a fight to the death.
‘There’s only one option left…’
