Chapter 193 - Aecrath
The current world is called Aecrath and it was completely dominated by humans. It has four provinces namely Aswor, Astil, Uchil and Oclar.
These four provinces are ruled by the four major sects.
Blazing inferno sect looks after Aswor province, Uchi is looked after by Terra nova sect. The Bizarre Zephyr sect and The true lake sect dominates Astril and Oclar respectively.
Other than these provinces, there were many islands of which some were under the control of the powerful wandering cultivators and the remaining islands are the habitats of other races.
As long as they were inside those habitats, the humans could not kill them no matter how powerful the humans became.
These are the general things known to the entire world.
According to the common people, everything looks peaceful on the surface; however, deep inside their hearts, they know they could lose their lives at any instant of time.
Due to that reason, they send their children to the sects as the working disciples hoping at least they could change their lives.
"Master, are you saying we have to kill the disciples from other sects?"
Henrick raised his brows as he hurriedly asked.
When she heard that question, Lina looked at him as though he was still a naive kid from the mortal world.
"I know you don't want to kill others but if someone tries to kill you, then you have to kill him and moreover, you have to do it clearly without leaving any witness. Do you understand,"
These words were said to Henrick by the sect leader Gamos.
"Yes, master,"
Henrick didn't like killing others randomly; however, if someone tries to kill him, he would not be courteous to them.
"Thud"
Soon, the white tiger landed on the ground which was devoid of any trees except for grass for a couple of kilometres; however, at the center, there was a huge tree.
"Remember my words and look after each other,"
After finishing his words, the sect leader Gamos jumped down and after him, the three disciples followed the same.
'As expected of the cultivation world. Kill or be killed,'
Henrick clenched his fists.
Until now, Henrick's only goal was to become an immortal to fulfil the promise to his mother; however, when he found out that he is a half ancient fire demon, all he wants to do now is to increase his power as soon as possible to save himself when others find out about his secret.
"Gamos, you are late as usual,"
Just as they walked towards the huge tree, an old man in cyan green coloured robes scoffed at Gamos.
Before Henrick's group landed here, there were already three other groups of people waiting for them. They were none other than the disciples from the three other sects who were guided by their outer sect leaders.
Just like the Blazing inferno sect, the other sects also have a similar power structure. That is the Outer sect, inner sect and core sect.
Currently, all the outer set leaders of four sects had picked some good outer sect disciples in the level 1 energy condensation realm to enter the treasure land of a wandering immortal cultivator.
"Old man Aedan, you are still alive? I thought you are dead,"
The sect leader Gamos was quick with his words as he revealed a disappointed look on his face.
"What did you say?"
The old man was the outer sect leader of the Bizzare Zephyr sect which consists of wind type cultivators.
Hearing the sect leader Gamos' words, the old man's long white hair floated in air which clearly indicated that he was successfully angered.
"If you want to fight, you can officially fight in the presence of your sect leaders and prove who is stronger. Not disturb this Madam's peace here,"
A beautiful middle-aged lady in blue robes walked towards them and said in a calm tone.
Behind her, two disciples in the same robes walked with respectful look on their faces.
"Sure, Madam Mirah,"
The sect leader Gamos just shrugged his hands and looked at the old man named Aedan before saying, "Do you want it?"
"Sect leader Gamos is just like always respectful towards the women," the sect leader of the true lake sect giggled after hearing his words.
"Don't you dare meddle in our business, Witch,"
However, Aedan was not calmed down; instead, he shouted back at the middle-aged lady.
"Whatever. I was just returning a favour for your sect. If you don't want to take it then just leave it. Anyway, I will be sending my disciples into the treasure land,"
Madam Mirah didn't bother to look at Aedan anymore before looking at Gamos and said, "Sect leader Gamos, ask your disciples to look after our disciples inside the treasure land."
"Sure"
The sect leader Gamos nodded his head without hesitation before walking towards the huge tree leaving the angry old man behind.
'After sending them into the treasure land, I will fight to my heart's content today,'
When the sect leader Gamos left without a word, Aedan became even angrier; however, he remembered what was more important now and decided to delay his fight with Gamos for some time.
'Remember, your top priority is to kill the disciples from the blazing inferno sect and then you can kill others too,'
Aedan silently transmitted his words to the two disciples beside him.
"Yes, sect leader,"
Both of them nodded their heads as they revealed evil smiles on their faces.
"Master looks like the true lake sect's outer sect leader is not bad. Should we look after her disciples?"
Nick asked the same question that Henrick wanted to ask.
Madam Mirah gave off an aura of a good cultivator that made Henrick and Nick think, she was a nice person.
"Yes,"
The sect leader Gamos revealed a smile and nodded his head; however, he silently transmitted his voice into his disciples' heads and said, 'Don't get fooled by her appearance and words. She is the oldest one among all four outer sect leaders. Moreover, the moment you encounter her disciples, you will be killed without mercy.'
When they heard the sect leader Gamos 'Yes' they were happy; however, after hearing the words in their head, they were frozen for a moment before looking at the middle-aged woman once again.
This time, they were able to see through her disguise which was the appearance of an old woman with a face full of wrinkles.
'So, just be careful after entering the treasure land,'
While they were still in shock, their master finished his words and they also reached the trunk of a huge tree.
"Did you all bring out the high-level spirit stones?"
As soon as all the four outer sect leaders reached the trunk of the huge tree, Zavis, the outer sect leader of the Terra nova sect, came forward and asked the other sect leaders.
"Here,"
Although the high-level spirit stones were rare, for the sects like these it was not rare.
As soon as Zavis asked them, everyone took out a high-level spirit stone and gave it to him.
Zavis places the spirit stones on the ground before they are swallowed into the ground and at the same time, a portal appeared in the trunk.
