A Demon's Journey

While Tiana was talking to Azaroth, the other members of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect were contacting their former friends and family members. They began to invite their comrades or family members to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Naturally, they didn't contact anyone unknown. These warriors were trustworthy and quite close to them. Azaroth had already given his consent to these women to invite their close friends or family members to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

He did impose a restriction. The only condition was that all of the people they invited had to be women. They would be better off not inviting a male. It was impossible to predict how a man would behave in the presence of so many gorgeous women.

He also made this decision in order to keep them from falling in love with someone else. A human in love would do some really irrational and foolish things. He didn't want the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect to be influenced by something as intangible as love.

As a result, he had decided to become the focus of these women's devotion and affection. At the very least, these women wouldn't fall for someone at first sight. Azaroth was sure that they would never meet anyone whose appearance would even surpass his own. At the most, that individual could possess the Absolute Beauty trait, but even then, it would only equal Azaroth's appearance and not surpass it.

However, Azaroth knew that the women his subordinates had invited might already come while being in love with another individual. For that reason, Azaroth was planning to stay here until most of them had arrived.

He would help them get settled in the branch palace that he had created a little far from the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's Main Palace. Meanwhile, Sargan and Laura had been sending any women they found who possessed a rare Yin Body.

These women had actually approached the sect earlier, but the mist wouldn't clear up. The local residents from a nearby city informed them that most of the members of the sect had already gone to assist the Black Lake Sect in their battle against the Night Mountain Sect.

As a result, these women had no option but to remain in the city until Tiana and her followers arrived. Naturally, Sargan paid for their lodging and food, and he started sending them a monthly stipend that would allow them to live contentedly.

Now that Tiana had recovered from her injuries, she ordered a member of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect to lead these women to the sect. Tiana cleared the mist at an appropriate time so that all these women could enter their sect, where they would learn new techniques and become stronger.

These women were taken aback when they learned that there was no entrance test. Tiana came ahead of them and told them they had already passed their entrance exam. Only the Yin Physique was required to join the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. The rest depended on their will.

Tiana then gave them a standard technique and ordered them to cultivate. This was the Chilly Ice Scorpion Lord's Tome. This was a technique that would allow them to build their foundation and cultivate the Ice Techniques.

They would be free of the pain in their meridians and could make use of the Ice Energy that had stockpiled in their body. These women were surprised to know that the first technique they received was actually a Lord Ranked Technique.

A Lord Ranked Technique was quite rare for ordinary disciples even in the top sects. Only the Inner Disciples could cultivate the Lord Ranked Techniques. Now that Azaroth had already read the soul of an elder from the Black Lake Sect, he knew exactly what the top sects offered to their disciples.

He also knew exactly what these followers anticipated from the sect. As a result, he had given Tiana a long list of instructions and urged her to ensure she followed them. As long as Tiana followed his instructions, it wouldn't be very challenging to keep these disciples tied to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Tiana then gave these disciples a tour of the entire Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. She showed them the Weapon Chamber, the Medicinal Pavilion, Meeting Hall, Sacred Profound Hall, and the Mission Center.

In the Weapon Chamber, disciples or elders could exchange their contribution points in return for a weapon corresponding to the price of that particular weapon. The Medicinal Pavilion was filled with rare kinds of herbs and also stored many pellets in different glass bottles.

The Meeting Hall was where the elders met and conducted a meeting. And the Sacred Profound Hall was where the disciples could exchange their contribution points for cultivation or combat techniques. Naturally, the price differed for each cultivation or combat technique.

Finally, there's the Mission Center. The disciples were given missions here, and after accomplishing them, they would receive their reward from the Mission Center. Tiana purposely left a few parts of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect and didn't show them to these new disciples.

Azaroth didn't plan on meeting these disciples yet. Instead, he had organized a meeting of the elders of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. He was giving them a set of instructions as well.

"I have gathered you all here to inform you of some key points that you must take note of while guiding these disciples. Ensure that you stay confident and decisive when you are in front of the disciples. At no point can you show any signs of weakness or confusion. I trust that not a single one of you would find any issue in dealing with these above-mentioned issues. You have survived a war between two top-grade sects and have come out on top. Be proud of yourself!"

These elders heard Azaroth's words clearly. These words greatly boosted their morale. Managing to survive the war between the Black Lake Sect and the Night Mountain Sect was truly a source of pride for them.

It had to be understood that none of these people had received sufficient training or had ever encountered anything on such a grand scale in their lives. Azaroth noticed the prideful looks of each one of these women and decided it was time to move to the next topic.

"There would come a time when you encounter disciples who are much more charismatic than you. You might need to deal with a disciple who does nothing but create trouble for you."

"I will now be guiding you on how you should deal with each situation respectively. For the first situation, if you ever encounter a disciple who appears to be much more charismatic than you, never dampen her spirit of leadership. Instead, use her to lead her batchmates or the other disciples of our sect against the vicious beasts around the area. You should know that the beasts in the area are slowly approaching our territory."

"The majority of these monsters are quite weak, so having these new disciples deal with them should be no problem. Naturally, they will be accompanied by an elder on their journey, and you must join the battle only if you believe it is essential. I leave the on-site decision up to you."

"As for the second kind of disciple, the one who creates trouble for you and the other disciples, it's rather easy. Just kill that disciple. We have no need for disciples who won't listen to our orders. These kinds of disciples are time bombs. However, make sure to do it discreetly. No other disciple should ever suspect the sect."

"You can use schemes, pure power, or any other method to deal with that troublesome disciple. And lastly, you must always remember that your job is not to obstruct these disciples from learning something new. Instead, your job is to ensure that their thirst for knowledge is never satisfied."

"We understand, master," All his subordinates understood their tasks perfectly. They all had genuine and sincere looks on their faces and seemed ready to fulfill their tasks thoroughly. However, Azaroth had many doubts as he looked at them.

He let out a sigh and thought 'This was the most I could do. Everything else would be up to them. It will take some time for them to gain experience and meet my expectations.'

Azaroth knew quite well that he would be asking for too much for them to be perfect from the very beginning. They could only take one step at a time. If they tried to rush up, they might mess up everything.

He informed them of a couple of things more before letting them leave and interact with the new disciples of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. Tiana introduced each of these elders to the new disciples of the sect.

These disciples were overjoyed at the prospect of meeting so many elders. They detected a heroic air emanating from these seniors and realized they must all be formidable characters in the cultivation world.

Azaroth thought as he peered at them from afar 'I'll have to stay here to make sure they don't screw anything up. I'll hand it off to them after they've gained some experience.'

'Before I go, I need to guarantee that Tiana and her minions are thoroughly infatuated with me,' he thought, a faint devious smile appearing on his face.
