A Demon's Journey

"The Origin Sect's elder, huh? What's his name?" Christina immediately asked Elias.

Elias hesitated a bit before finally replying, "…Elder Lazaros. He asked these five to instigate those troublemakers. And seemed to have also offered to protect them if the situation turned dire."

"I see… Just as I suspected," Tiana muttered.

Christina was the only one who heard Tiana's whisper. She looked at her in shock and wondered what she meant.

Tiana whispered to Christina, "…Later."

"Mkay~!" Christina agreed before turning her gaze back at Elias.

"Our grudges can be considered resolved if you hand over these five to me," Christina said to Elias.

A visible frown appeared on Elias's face. But he nodded, "Very well."

The five disciples were extremely terrified to hear those words. They knew they were going to die!

Tiana also didn't plan to protect them. She was sure that Elias must have gathered all the useful information from them.

She was thinking deeply about the information she had received just now.

While Tiana had been buried in her profound thoughts, Christina bound the bodies of the five warriors with a cord, then began to thrash them on the ground.

These warriors felt their bones break each time their bodies crashed into the ground. It was a slow death filled with excruciating pain!

Many of them puked out a mouthful of blood as their internal organs tore apart.

Soon, Tiana and Christina were on their way back.

Tiana asked Christina, "What are you planning now?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Christina asked while raising her brows, "I am naturally going towards those Origin Sect's booths. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood!"

"That wouldn't be a good idea. You aren't accusing some disciples this time. You are accusing a sect elder. You don't have enough proof. Just the confession of some disciples won't work against him," Tiana spoke seriously.

"Then we let him off?!" Christina asked with an angry tone.

"No. I mean to say that there is a better way to punish him," Tiana responded with a smirk, "He used this tactic to create a rift between the Black Lake Sect and the Red Crown Sect."

"He should have brought a few personal disciples here. Since he wanted to attack your sect's disciples, he shouldn't blame us if we do the same. Let's find out about them and hunt them," It was good that Tiana's face was concealed behind a veil, or else Christina would have commented how wicked her grin appeared right now.

"Send this instruction to Elias Callides privately," Tiana then gave this hint to Christina.

Christina then understood what Tiana meant to say, "Oooh! I can use the Red Crown Sect as allies, and we can punish this Origin Sect together!"

"Yes. First, let's hunt his dear disciples. And if he retaliates, use your status to move the Black Lake Sect's elders. Even the Red Crown Sect should support you in dealing with this guy. Once such a huge scene is created, a lot of importance would be attached to it. It might even become the reason for a future alliance between the Red Crown Sect and the Black Lake Sect," Tiana explained.

Christina was quite excited to hear Tiana's explanation. However, she suddenly thought of something and asked Tiana, "What about beating Elias? Won't the Red Crown Sect be angry at me over beating him?"

"Don't worry about it. It's the 6th Prince who has come to lead the Red Crown Sect's disciples. Once he hears that you beat up 2nd Prince's retainer and finds out the true reason, he will help you keep this matter concealed," Tiana explained.

"Woah! This will be amazing then!" Christina felt as if Tiana could deal with all her issues. She could actually see so far ahead!

Soon, Christina asked Elias to find out about Elder Lazaros's disciples.

Elias promised to find those disciples within another half an hour.

It was already midnight time. However, the Red Crown Sect's disciples were really busy as they investigated the Origin Sect's disciples and found out the location of the Elder Lazaros's disciples.

In reality, Elias had also planned to target Elder Lazaros's disciples. He was very frustrated over being beaten by Christina.

He planned to beat them up and make himself feel better.

Elias had no clue that as soon as he told Tiana and Christina the location, they would be on their way to beat them up!

Since the Elders were enjoying a banquet for this night today, they wouldn't return. It could be said that the disciples could do whatever they wanted.

Christina and Tiana knew that what they were doing could be considered absolutely evil or wicked, but there was no such thing as going too far between the battles of the sects.

Since they dared to launch those lowly schemes at the Black Lake Sect, they had to be prepared for the Black Lake Sect's retaliation!

While all this was occurring, Tiana was actually building a strong connection with Christina. Tiana knew that she could use Christina and easily recruit more disciples for her sect.

However, the bond between them was still too fragile. They had to connect with each other even more!

~~

The next day, the elders of each sect returned.

The Red Crown Sect elders and the 6th Prince heard of what occurred. They were stunned to hear that Christina attacked Elias Callides. However, when they heard the reason, they felt it was quite appropriate.

They also met those five disciples who had been beaten to a near-death state by Christina.

The 6th Prince was furious at these disciples and decisively chose to kill them! He incinerated them to death!

The elder of the Black Lake Sect was also informed of what had occurred, and he was incensed that the Origin Sect's elder had undertaken such a petty plot against their sect.

The two had shared a drink the night before, but he had no idea there was a scheme going on in that man's head.

However, among the three sects involved in this scenario, the most furious one was none other than Elder Lazaros.

When he returned, he saw that all of his personal disciples, in whom he had placed great trust, had their limbs and legs shattered.

In fact, some of them even had their limbs burned or cut off with an Ice Shard.

Elder Lazaros could still see faint Golden Flames lingering over their wounds. They were probably preventing them from regenerating.

Even those limbs cut off by the Ice Shards couldn't regenerate. It was as if that part of their body was frozen now.

Elder Lazaros didn't recognize that Ice Element, but he did recognize those Golden Flames.

His face turned red with anger as he understood that this was done by none other than the Black Lake Sect's Inheritor, Christina Aubert!

Meanwhile, a loud horn resounded at this moment. This was a signal by the officials that they had to gather for the next category of the Tournament!

Now, it would be the turn of the 3 Star Warriors.

Elder Lazaros was even angrier as nearly 5 of his disciples who could have achieved really good results in this category could no longer fight! All the rewards that he could possibly earn were out of his reach now!
