-Later on-
.
Elder Kung and Mei were adjusting to their new life still. Elder Kung was going over the new cultivation manual Ren gave to Mei in great detail. Almost everything was touched base on. Her Gathering Realm cultivation was 3x times better than the old one. It brought her comfort after having to start over.
Mo Lan, Two, and Three went to get a few missions for them to do. With Mo Lan getting restored an Elder Kung having stabilized his Realm, finally. Ren was ok with doing some work. He and Four had broken in his pot and made the pill for Mo Lan to take when she returned with the others.
The "Replenish Pill" would restore her body to normal as well as cut the toxins out completely. Four had convinced Ren not to let her take it out in the open. To allow her to go to her room and take it.
"Fine spoilsport. I was trying to give you a little experience in seeing a flustered woman." Ren smiled behind his fan. "I guess anothe

-A week later- . Ren and company had moved out to the "Shoreline" with a steady pace. Mo Lan had broken through and was currently at the Reformation Realm Rank 1. Her confidence was something to behold. Her breakthrough also shook the mountain. Good thing for the protection set up. Only individuals who knew were Ren and Elder Kung that she had such power. The Lan clan had made a little trouble with the group made it out of Sect territory. But a few words from Elder Kung made them shut up real quick. They were suprised he recovered and was so strong. Even though he discarded the Lan family name, several people in the clan wanted him to return. Using bribery and even intimidation towards the little girl Mei to do so. After a few broken bones from Three and Zero robbing them of their resources, they relented. With the brand Ren placed on her, she was pretty hidden. The traveling was a good time to get her bearings back. Despite her setbac
'Those useless bastards are not gonna marry me off to anyone! I will find something here to increase my power even more. My future is my own to decide!' The little princess had a strong will about here. Much stronger than people knew. She took after the Empress in that regard."Yes, he will be a good fit for Valli." The older princess said. Her name was Melinda. She was 22 going on 23 years old. "Valli, you want to change your mind yet? It is not to late to run away and hide." She said in gest. But more than any other, she wished her sister to be free from the confines of the agreement.Despite the fact, Valli and Bali were born from the second Emperor unlike her from the first Emperor, they were as close as full blood sisters. She was in the Realization Realm Rank VII. Stuck there due to a "personal" incident. One that gave her a certain nickname.A disgusting nickname in some circles.A young woman with pale skin walked out of the carriage. She lo
-Sometime later- . Another three hours passed before Ren stopped. He shook his pant legs free of the soil and his shirt that was around his waist. Gathering another large chunk of soil into his bags, he walked back to the others. Looking to a small mound of soil, he blew on it. *Woosh!* The soil parted revealing the disciple who threatened his Follower earlier. He was covered in scars and had purple mist leaving his clothing. His Ion energy was almost spent from protecting himself. Ren had put a "brand" on him for spying later. It was the only reason he still lived. "Haaa, I wonder if we can leave early to get a good meal back home?" Ren asked out loud. Mo Lan looked at him and forced a smile out. She was quite unnerved by the use of the sand. As well as Ren walking around without his shirt on. She was quite the one for modesty, despite what she had to do to live. Mo Lan and Three got long well in that regard. "No matter, I think I will take a nap."
"You people are annoying and stupid. And apparently know nothing of barriers." Ren sat up agitated. He opened the barrier and let them in. "Stay here while I go and sleep in your barrier." When he moved, he sent a change in the barrier again with his feet. The Crystals in key points changed facing and function. "Thank.. you." Melinda said. Ren did not stay long enough for her to say more. He went over and plopped into their barrier and went to sleep. "Why risk going into our barrier?" She noticed his face was hidden the moment he got up. 'Why did he hide behind a fan? It felt like he was smiling in a way.' "Ass.." Valli said lowly. "That's our Master." Two smiled. She had already recovered and had her hands on her temporary swords. Just in case the princess tried anything. "Sit tight and everything will be ok." She could let out an attack pushing them out of the barrier with ease. Despite the difference in cultivation. With a good paralysis, the effec
"Huh, you came back to see if they were here? How nice of you." Ren smiled towards the incoming guards. 'Are those guests still on the way?' He thought to Reap. Reap System: Yup. They will come at a decent enough time. Like right now actually. Quest: Protect those who are loyal. Your reward... I am not saying specifically. It will be even better when you get it. Hehehe.. you will like it. A few of the guards were surprised the princesses were not here. The Lan guards assumed they would make it back and try to enforce the barrier with some of their life-saving devices. They would then come in and feign helping but kill them instead. Traveling around asking for help would have given a good alibi with saying the barrier broke when asked later. "So you fixed it. Should have stayed where you were. This will be your grave now." The 1st Lan guard raised his hand. This signaled the others to attack. "What are you talking about? You cannot kill him. He
. -Lan Compound Captial- . An Elder was sitting amongst his peers agitated. He felt the connection break instantly from his life-saving treasure he gave to his grandson. 12 Elders up top at the Peak or at Rank 11 of the Breaking Bonds Realm. These were the Core Elders of the clan. In charge of the various departments, they had control of. Below them were another 50 Elders at the Breaking Bond Realm Rank 5. These were the Inheriting Elders. Beneath them were 1000 Inner Core Elders at the Reformation Realm. Between the Ranks of 5 to 11. Standing behind them were at least 13,000 Outer Elders for day-to-day activities. "Ugh!" A Core Elder grabbed his chest in pain. His temples throbbing ready to burst. "No..." "Brother Torbin!" Another yelled first. The man sent a pill instantly to help his brother. The other Elders acted quickly to help stabilize him. "You will be ok!" "Yes.. yes I will." Torbin said lowly. His body was fine
"Hah!" Ronnaldo exhaled deeply. He failed to go over the final hurdle to breakthrough. But not without effort. He failed from stress. The fact they tried to kill Ren plagued his mind. Even with the pills, he took to help him along, the failure still happened. But he attained something this time to increase his fighting prowess. "Should have taken a Memory Suppression Pill first."Memory Suppression Pill allowed whoever ate it to target a specific memory. No matter how far-reaching and the amount of influence it had over the cultivator. The downside, it made one's Heart Monster grow even stronger when it was over.*Crack!* Gripping his fist, it was not to bad. He was able to refocus and heal old wounds that were in his cultivation base and body. Next time he breaks through, it will be a cinch. Provide he no longer has any doubts in his mind about the Sect Elders. And the fate of his brother and family.*Shush!* With a wave of his hand, the seals were removed and
"Of course! You are only 30 years older!" Elder Mo Yuni hit his chest playfully. "We are still kids compared to those monsters in the "Mainland" and their sick ways." Ronnaldo's eyes flashed dangerously at her mentioning of them. Thoughts going to Ren's mother who came from there."We need to get you to breakthrough. I will not risk anyone coming to bully you in the future." Ronnaldo thought about the Sect points he had. It was time to cash them in and use what he had stored away. The next time he broke through, he wanted to be even furthur in his Rank and not just Rank 1. "The Mainland is trouble and will try to throw their weight around again. It is already their fault the Empire is at war. We need to be ready.""I have a few pills to help expand the mind and increase cognitive thought. I was saving them for when I breakthrough in a few years." Mo Yuni said with worry. "If you think the time to use them is now, then let's use them. I need to increase my fighting powe
