Seduce The Villainess (GL)



(Secret Headquarters Of The Crimson Demon Sect)

(Hidden Mountain Range)

Yang Xia lightly pressed her finger against the seemingly impassable wall of rock that blocked the entrance to her private cave.

The sound of shattering glass filled the air and numerous golden symbols illuminated the surface of the rock.

The leader of the Crimson Demon Sect stood quietly as bits and pieces of the rock wall slowly fell away to reveal a long and narrow corridor.

Two months.

That was the length of time that had passed since she had thrown the successor into this place and given her the 'Heavenly Reversal Technique'.

Every day the elders of the sect would demand that she tell them when the ceremony would begin, and Yang Xia always had the same answer.

On the night of the Blood Moon.

If the former saintess of the Holy Sword Sect was as talented as she assumed, then two months was more than enough time for her to learn the 'Heavenly Reversal Technique'.

And if not…

Then she would be unworthy to be confirmed as the successor to the Crimson Demon Sect. 

However, Yang Xia would be surprised if that was the case because she had already investigated the former saintess' past.

Unlike the other saints and saintess of the major righteous sects, Xu Lu kept an unusually low profile.

Apparently, she spent most of her life doing closed door training with Lei Ying a powerful young cultivator with the potential to become the main powerhouse of the Holy Sword Sect.

Little was known about her personality, strengths, or weakness however rumors spread that she was the most beautiful cultivator in the entire continent.

She was forced to wear a mask to hide her beauty otherwise all who saw her face would be driven mad with desire and lust.

An unlikely story.

Yang Xia absentmindedly tapped her fingers against the sides of her robes as she looked at the darkness of the cave that was beckoning for her to enter.

Out of respect for her son's decision, Yang Xia planned on giving Xu Lu enough time and preparation to succeed.

But nothing more than that.

She was not going to bend the rules. 

She was not going to send out secret warnings so that the powerful among the younger generation would not attend.

In this world there was nothing more important than one's personal strength. Especially amongst demonic cultivators.

Yang Xia entered inside the narrow passageway and the bits of rock rose up from the ground and formed the wall again once she stepped inside.

That was just one of the many wards, enchantments, and spells that she had weaved around this place to prevent her fellow sect members from stumbling upon the cave.

Xu Lu did not need any distractions during her training.

The leader of the Crimson Demon sect walked slowly through the long and winding corridor past several layers of barriers and traps.

The entire trip took two hours. 

She could have teleported inside to save time because she knew the exact coordinates of the training space, but Yang Xia steadfastly went the long way.

This was to allow her to double check her protections and add a few new ones.

Finally, the corridor slowly opened up to reveal a vast space around the size of a hall with a pool in the corner of the room and a comfortable mattress to the side.

There was a figure sitting down cross legged in the middle of the space with her eyes tightly closed.

She wore a simple white robe that was spotless with not a single speck of dust or dirt on the delicate fabric.

A plain longsword was attached to her hip, and she wore a silvery grey mask that concealed all of her facial features save for her eyes.

She remained motionless like a statue.

As Yang Xia stepped inside the room, she noticed that parts of the floor had cracked and were on the verge of crumbling away.

There were dried up bloodstains on the ground beneath the masked figure's feet and the mattress appeared untouched as if she had not slept.

"You have returned," the masked figure calmly spoke. Xu Lu opened her eyes and looked at the sect leader peacefully.

Her eyes were now completely changed.

They appeared a dark shade of midnight black with tinges of red that swam along the edges of her pupils.

Xu Lu slowly got up from the ground. Despite being in the same position for days if not weeks, there were no signs of discomfort.

Her body had changed along with her personality.

Xu Lu found herself more… confident? 

She was sure that was not the only change that had happened, but it was hard to tell.

"You have made good progress," Yang Xia remarked bluntly as she walked up to the former saintess and grabbed her arm.

The sect master closed her eyes and sent out a strand of demonic qi into Xu Lu's skin to observe the inner workings of her meridians.

What she saw was truly surprising.

There was not a hint of righteous qi left in her body. 

She could only see demonic qi travelling through her meridians and entering her dantian and speaking of the dantian…

Yang Xia peered inside Xu Lu's inner qi sanctum and saw a small island floating upwards amidst a sea of demonic energy.

Wait… how curious…

The island was composed of righteous qi and seemed to be completely unaffected by the demonic energy that surrounded it.

In the middle of the island a pure white unicorn with a golden horn in the middle of its forehead that shone with luster slept peacefully.

Yang Xia reopened her eyes and looked at the former saintess with a few thoughts running through her mind.

Hmm… it did not appear as though the small island of righteous qi had any effect on the demonic energy flowing through her body.

She was still able to raise her cultivation level to the peak of the qi tide stage and Yang Xia was fairly certain that eventually Xu Lu would be able to enter the void stage.

Still… this was something to be investigated further. Yang Xia had never heard of an animal being present inside a cultivator's dantian.

Xu Lu remained quiet as she looked at the sect leader who continued to stare at her with an unknown emotion in her gaze.

She did not trust Yang Xia… not yet but she could not sense any malice from her.

Finally, the sect leader stepped back and nodded once. She clapped her palms, and the torches illuminated the underground cavern burned even brighter.

"You are ready to be introduced to the sect," Yang Xia coldly spoke with the barest hint of a warning in her voice.

"At best some will regard you with curiosity and at worst they will try to kill you for taking the position of successor."

"Do not let your guard down."

"I understand," Xu Lu replied in an even tone as her fingers curled up into a tight fist. 

She would need to be prepared to earn the respect or strike fear into the hearts of her competitors who wanted to take her place.

She could not afford to show mercy.
