Victor did not want to approach the group of disciples belonging to the Temple of the Dark Moon for one reason only.
He didn't trust them at all.
Even though they were of the same sect, it doesn't mean that they have any reason to mingle with him. They could smile at Victor, pretending to be with him and help him as one of them, but the moment he relaxed they would stab him in the back.
Even though it may not be the case, Victor wanted to avoid this anyway, so he mingled with the wandering cultivators standing alone, at this moment he was attracted by one lively conversation between some disciples of a righteous sect.
"Big Brother Ming, do you think this demon will show up?" - Asked the student with a rather mediocre appearance.
When he said this, many turned on his words, not only to the disciples of the righteous, but also demonic and imperial forces too.
They were curious as to what the top genius of the righteous path had to say.
Elder Brother Ming, as his disciple called him, was the chief disciple of the highest sect of the Heavenly Dao, he had not only an impressive cultivation base but also a handsome appearance, his character could be described as perfect.
In his nineteen years of life, he had already broken through into the realm of Earthly Ascension(2), which shocked many, considering him the genius among geniuses, but his famous quality was that he always fought against evil, no compromises.
The day he first entered the Heavenly Dao sect, he was asked what his cultivation goal was, and for most people it usually was for eternal life or power. But he answered that his goal was to exterminate all demonic sects.
From that moment on, his fame and power grew so quickly that many wondered if he was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor.
And after only a few years, he rose from an errand boy to a core disciple, never once in his life insulting those below him, on the contrary, he helped them in every way possible, earning the unthinkable support of all the students of the sect.
He was the face not only of his sect but of the whole righteous path; to insult him was to spit in the face of all righteous sects, and even the disciples of demonic sects could do little about it.
Even if he was a disciple of a righteous sect many members of the other powers still respected him.
Of course there were rumors that his true character was a far cry from what he shows on the surface and that everything he says and does was a lie, a deceit, but such voices quickly disappeared, as did the person to whom it belonged.
Ming Xiao shook his head bitterly.
"This demon named Victor has a divine physique and for him the legacy of the ancient emperor is akin to a joke, why take such a dangerous risk if even without it he will still be on the top of this world."
When the gathered people heard his words, they remained silent as they could rebut it.
"And I don't think he'll have the courage to show up here, all he'll do now is hide behind the Dark Moon Temple master and build up his strength into an unstoppable monster who will sooner or later bare his fangs against the righteous sects." - He continued.
"Initially I didn't want to come here, but when I heard that the demonic way had such a man, I was left with no choice. I have to get the inheritance and then kill him. The demon is a scourge that must be disposed of before it can grow." - Even though he spoke such harsh words, the disciples of the righteous sects were not at all shocked or disturbed by his words.
He was well known for his hatred for demonic sects and it would be a miracle if he ignored such a big issue.
"Big Brother is right, he's a coward and wouldn't dare show his face here."
"The legacy of the ancient emperor is sure to land in the hands of a hero!"
"Sooner or later you will kill him!"
Instead of bringing Ming Xiao back to reality, righteous sect disciples, on the contrary, encouraged him and were confident in his words, so far every time he spoke such absurd words he always proved his right and achieved his goals.
Of course, this was only with the righteous disciples.
The faces of both imperial and demonic apprentices blurred into a mocking smile; they clearly understood more than he did the real situation.
Kill an apprentice who was personally chosen by the master of the Temple of the Dark Moon?
Such words could only be said by a madman who clearly had problems with his head, even though Ming Xiao was known for his hatred for demonic sects, he had never killed any disciples of higher demonic forces, he only killed disciples from small or medium sects who couldn't do anything about it.
If he really tried to do something against Victor, his life would instantly come to an end, everyone was well aware of Xue Yan's character. She was a bloodthirsty demon who took revenge on any people who dared to be hostile against her students.
Many people understood this, but didn't want to reveal their perspective to this person, they were lazy and it wouldn't have made any difference.
'Does he think he's some kind of a hero?' Victor snorted contemptuously to the side.
Ming Xiao didn't like Victor right away, they hadn't even met and he hadn't had time to do anything yet and was already on this man's blacklist.
People with such personalities for sure wouldn't live long, sooner or later Ming Xiao would meet his end, but now, thanks to those words, Victor decided to help him speed up the process.
In the battle for the ancient emperor's inheritance he was probably Victor's main opponent, and it was a great opportunity to kill two chickens in one fell swoop. Victor could not only get his inheritance, but also get rid of a man who clearly courted death.
"What do you think about that little sister Mu?" - Ming Xiao's gaze was turned to the woman across the street.
'Oh, she's here too! So curious…' thought Victor, he never expected to meet his ex-fiancée in this place, and looking closer, he noticed another familiar person, he was a young man who had previously been badly beaten by Victor for his words and lustful gaze directed at Mikena.
'A really unfortunate encounter…' Victor's eyes flashed for a few seconds before returning to normal, it was definitely an unfortunate encounter, only unknown for whom as of yet.
