章 4: Different ambitions

From this turn of events, it can be seen that the demon sect has some eyeliners in the Mystic Pavillion and can not be underestimated.

"It seems that the Xuan clan is targeting us. No! This is not just us, but almost all the strongest factions.

MIt wants to use the excuse of exterminating devils to gather all the other factions, but with the behavior of this fox, Li Xin, their plans seem to have gone to waste."

"Sect master, why do you mean by the Mystic pavilion head ruining their plans? Aren't there other factions that can be pulled together to attack us? Besides, the Mystic Pavillion would get more prestige once they get involved. Why did their master not get involved?" The woman seemed to be almost the same age as Bi Yun.

She had a mask covering part of her face.

"Mo Shen! You are too naive. When I challenged Li Xin before going into seclusion, he agreed, under one condition, my demon sect would not cause trouble in their domain, and I agreed. Besides, do you think that the Mystic Pavilion actually needs prestige?" She looked at Mo Shen like a fool.

"As long as the Mystic Pavilion conducts business well, they have all they need. Resources, and they can continue to become stonger. Who cares what others think at the end of the day." She continued.

What she did not know was that Li Xin wanted to take his saber further.

It was not his cultivation that he strived to increase, because he knew it would not be easy unless the Mysterious Heavenly Art entered the 8th stage.

The most important change was to increase his savvy. As such, he would spend his time on the sea trying to comprehend the meaning of the sea calming.

Pushing the issue of Li Xin aside, she seemed to be more interested in another important issue.

The look on her face also seemed to have become sharp instantly, "Mo Shen, did you collect what I had you gather for my practice? I need to take that step before those crazy people from the Xuan clan manage to come up with some means to convince others to attack us. Our demon sect has always managed to maintain our status in the world due to strength."

She looked toward the woman beside her with some serious expression, before looking into the distance as though she was predicting some storms brewing.

" Just like that fox, I also have some concerns about those old things in the mountains being invited to deal with me, as such it is important to reach their level." As she spoke she become silent as though waiting for an answer.

At this moment, Mo Shen seemed to feel as though the air around her had become cold.

Without even hiding anything she revealed her progress and the fact that she had yet to get some very important herb.

But rumors seemed to say that the only person that had this herb was the master of the Mystic Pavilion.

Listening to this, Bi Yun frowned slightly, this was because she did not want to meet that man again unless her strength was stronger and this issue seemed to concern her practice.

Thinking about it, she asked, "Is there no other way to get it? How about visiting that fox Li Xin if nothing can be gained? With the large business he is running he shouldn't lack it. On second thought find out where he is going for seclusion first!"

She indeed could not replace it, after all the Art she practiced was crazy and with any little carelessness, one might even go mad.

But she didn't want to take risks on her cultivation path when it could be avoided.

But thankfully she was not desperate yet, at worst she would end up losing something from her collection to do an exchange,

The fact that the Black Lotus sect has some Ancient techniques meant that they had some good things that might perhaps attract Li Xin interest.

She didn't mind going herself to conduct an exchange, the matter was of importance to her.

She just didn't know anything that could catch his eye, considering, he didn't even flinch at the invitation to attack their Black Lotus sect.

But that was understandable, with his nature he would not think twice to go for benefits but the fact that he just overlooked this also seemed to make some people talk.

Perhaps they were also waiting for the right time to make trouble, after all, it would not be smart to provoke two behemoths at the same time.

This was the reason why Bi Yun was admiring him, after all his decision might save the Mystic Pavilion from going to war and hurting the foundation, but it also meant that the puppet masters might end up turning against them.

Since she could see this clearly, it meant that he also should have been able to too.

This is indeed true and he was going on this trip with the intention of seeing what happened if his comprehension reached 100.

Perhaps the change would be a huge boost for him.

His confidence to not be played by others also came from this, and it was a headache for Bi Yun to deal with someone like him since she did not know what could attract this person for an exchange.

People think that the Demoness is a cruel monster that only knows how to kill, but that is a stupid assumption.

Managing anything is not something that can be accomplished by a fool, especially when it is not collapsing even with many enemies on all sides.

She had to plans to send her maid over to discuss the exchange, but she was not in that stage of negotiation yet.

She was going to try and see the benefits that could be obtained from her connections.

Seeing her maid walk out, she closed her eyes to rest. It was not an easy job being a sect master.

Sitting alone, Bi Yun was lost in thought. She was considered a genius, but she had also met someone who continued to improve as time passed and that was Li Xin.

The Saber technique he used seemed to be evolving every fight they had, in a way, he really wouldn't have interest in anything.

"It seems that fox Li Xin really has set his eyes on jumping towards the legendary realm." Some sharp red light flashed as her eyes opened up.

Her competitive nature had been stimulated. She didn't seem shocked that Li Xin would just speak out his goals. It was going to make a lot of people uneasy.

"Different people! Different goals! Huh!" she sighed.
