184 The Rules are set.

The transformation was over, Zhi Rui was standing there. No resounding booms or thunderous clouds came, to sing her improvement. The air was the same, not even a leaf was moved by her breakthrough, not an ounce of aura was released from her. yet all the people had wide eyes.

The temporary sect leader looked at her with a somber, complicated expression. 'A thing like you....' His eyes hardened. He was repeatedly told to not mess with her, but each action she does flips a switch inside of him.

He spoke.

"Your cultivation progress, your subordinate's strength, and the fact that every significant incident that happened in this country has your name on it.summing up all that. you are, at the very least, suspicious." His eyes were squinting

Zhi Ru flashed him a beautiful smile. With not a single sign of care in her eyes. Ignoring the sect leader's words, she turned her eyesight around the other geniuses. Some hid it well, others were truly indifferent, one didn't try to hide at all.But their true thoughts and feelings were visible regardless of their outer appearance.

At the sight of their true feelings, Zhi Rui chukled softly. She turned around and gave her back to them. As if everyone there wasn't an enemy.

Zhun Xuying's pillar of light was standing tall. She was still undergoing the breakthrough. Zhi Rui knelt behind her. And helped in her refinement. The disciples around were surprised by the amount of trust Zhun Xuying has on Zhi Rui to let foreign energy to enter her core.

Five minutes later, The pillar of light dissipated like a thousand fireflies flying away. A process that would take days, was over in five minutes. Zhun Xuying got up slowly.With her eye shining, she smiled. The power inside of her was something she never felt before.

She didn't hold back her impulse and embraced Zhi Rui in front of everyone. Zhi Rui answered by giggling tightening the embrace. she felt the knitting lines of the sect's robe pressing against the curvaceous mature body of Zhun Buying.A fresh fragrance came up Zhi Rui's nose. For a second, she was in a daze.

She snapped her eyes opened and looked around. The disciples were looking at her strangely. Zhi Rui realized she just embraced female friends, a little too intimate than normal. But seeing and feeling the crowd's emotions, Zhi Rui smirked.

She interlaced her finger with Zhun Xuying's and stood in front of everyone, letting their minds ran wild. Silence prevailed.

While Zhi Rui was messing around the five geniuses were thinking.

They only had themselves at the fourth level and some scattered elders that they took to their respective side. But Zhi Rui had at least five. That was more strength than any of them. It didn't matter how many levels three they had. Zhi Rui's force was just too much. They had to request for people of their own clans.And the motive for it is that an unknown disciple has raised subordinates that are much more strong than their own...

"You can investigate me freely. I'm willing tocooperate with anything as long as my life isn't affected." Zhi Rui finally looked back at the temporary leader and said.

.He looked down at her "Heed my words, everyone. I'll now give instruction on how the competition for the sect leader seat will ensue,"

All eyes were on him.

"The objective is to choose a new sect leade while building another branch into the underworld. That branch will be used for core disciples to hunt and bring resources to form the underworld. The competition will last until I said it's over. Now, the rules of this competition are:

1. One must put the sect's needs ahead of themselves.

2. One must not kill each other

3. Although the danger and casualty are constant, disciples should not be sent to do certain death tasks.

3. Regardless of infighting, the five paths(Orthodox- Non-orthodox- alchemy- weapons- formation.) must coalesce into one whole light of sect branch by the end of the year."

"Due to imbalance, other participants besides Zhi Rui, may bring one to five warriors of the fourth level..." his eyes shone red and with a smirk, he continued. "Or, you can bring one warrior at the fifth level"

Zhun Xuying frowned visibly. But Zhi Rui was still smiling. A single level five could certainly take more than one common fourth level warrior...

Zhi Rui looked around her subordinates. 'I don't have single common one though...'

Zhi Rui gave them one last look, She scrutinized everyone in front of her. Potential informants, the weak, the strong, she committed their faces on her mind.

"Since I alreadygot what I want, now I'lldiscuss plans with my crew at the Disciplinary peak."

After causing a silent storm on everybody, Zhi Rui walked off with her subordinate behind her.

Chao Cheng looked at her back with interest. his shoulder was dislocated and his inner organs shook fiercely with the impact with her. his body was as tough as a lizard dragon, this kind of damage could only be done by someone at the same level. 'Yet, she did it, while weaker than me.'

He chukled and looked a the old man. "Sent the clan a letter asking for some fourth level soldiers. Alsosent Zhi Rui a letter for dinner."

The old man sighed. "Alright."

Chao Cheng felt alook on him, from the sticky and gloomy nature he already knew who it was.

the scholar Bain Bingwen was staring with laughter in his eyes but didn't say a word. 'if she wasn't moved by my demeanor, what makes a brute like you think you could get it?' He thought.

As if reading his thoughts Chao Cheng laughed.

"Thank god you didn't open your mouth. the smell of shit is already this thick with you all the way over there. if you did open your mouth, we'd all die."

Wit ha simple and direct insult Chao cheng went away. soon everybody dispersed including Bain Bingwen.

He was at his own luxurious cave. Aurelio trembles in front of him.

"My young lordI-I-"

*SLAP*

Aurelio flew like a kite with its string cut.

Bain Bingwen smirked "Do you realized what you did? You made me seem like a fool. While I don't need to care for other words, Zhi Rui is influential on the sect. Her words are listened and heeded and you just went out there and told Ioffered benefit for sexual favors!? you RETARDED PIG!"

*SLAP*

Aurelio flew against and stuck to the wall.

Like it was nothingBain Bingwen sighed and cleaned his mouth.Now bring some of those girls willing to go the extra mile,I'm tired of the ones here.

five girls laid unconscious on his bed totally unconscious, bottles of liquor and meat were spread through the mess.

ignoring everything else he took his robe and opened the legs of one girl and moved his hips.

the girl squealed awake.

feeling the warmth spread on him. He started to move his hips like crazy

"THAT SLUT! SOON IT'L BE YOU UNDER ME! HOW DARE YOU QUIBBLE INSTEAD OF JUST FOLLOWING MY WORD!?"

He cursed and slapped the girls in front of him.

His Dao protector, now used to such things just went out of the cave wit ha sigh, and Aurelio crawled behind.
