A Demon's Journey

It had been nearly three months since Tiana split up from her comrades. However, she had yet to leave the new Sinyalian Kingdom's territory.

In fact, she had yet to leave the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect Palace ever since she returned from the Eastern Mountain Range of the Glerian Kingdom.

There was one specific reason behind this. The new policy of the Sinyalian Kingdom's royal family.

They hadn't just targeted powerful organizations, but also sects. Three sects had already been destroyed by the Royal Family of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

When Tiana received this information, she was extremely dumbfounded. She never expected that the Royal Family would make such ruthless decisions.

However, as the surprise from this information faded, Tiana's eyes lit up as she whispered to herself, "…This is an opportunity."

Perhaps to the other sects in the new territory of the Sinyalian Kingdom, it was a tragedy, but this was an unexpected blessing for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

There were many reasons for this to be considered a blessing for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Firstly, there were two sects of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. First was the main sect palace, in which only the women possessing Yin Physiques were accepted. The second was the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

Any woman with sufficient talent could join the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect, but she had to be branded with the sect seal.

Originally, this seal contained a minuscule part of Azaroth's spirit. However, before meeting Nine Yin Saintess, Azaroth destroyed these parts of spirits.

This prevented him from passively hypnotizing the new disciples of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect, but he felt it was no longer necessary.

Azaroth's objective was already accomplished as he turned the first generation of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect's Leader and Elders into his loyal subordinates.

A proper system with specific laws and regulations was already operating in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

Azaroth's spirit acted as the last resort to prevent his subordinates in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect from ever betraying him.

However, Azaroth had to pull out this last resort because if Nine Yin Saintess found his spirit scattered across the entire Elemental Aurora Valley Sect's warriors, she would get greatly suspicious and actively search the entire Glerian Kingdom for his subordinates.

Azaroth wasn't sure if Noah or others could stay hidden from her. Thus, he resorbed all portions of his scattered spirit to ensure that the Nine Yin Saintess would find nothing if she tried to search for his spirit in the entire Glerian Kingdom.

This plan worked as the Nine Yin Saintess truly found nothing as she searched for Azaroth's spirit in the entire Glerian Kingdom.

The stamp of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect wasn't entirely useless. It still contained a trace of Demonic Ardor, which greatly boosted the physique, potential, and density of the Humanely Ardor.

This Demonic Ardor was just light enough to prevent an ordinary warrior from sensing it. However, the warriors or the beasts with acute senses could sense this trace of Demonic Ardor.

This became a huge allure for all kinds of warriors to enter the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. Moreover, people began to trust it quickly after it was revealed that the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect was actually the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's branch.

Tiana was the one who revealed this fact since she wanted people to accept it quickly.

In any case, the second reason for the current situation to be a blessing for the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect was due to their impermeable defense.

At this point, all the citizens knew of the impermeable defense mechanisms of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. The Mist Array, along with an impressive 7 Star Defensive Array, greatly boosted the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's reputation.

In fact, it led many to assume that this was the only location they could travel to seek shelter from the Royal Family of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Even the Sinyalian Kingdom's Royal Family couldn't touch the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect! They had sent many teams, but none returned.

This prevented the Sinyalian Kingdom's Royal Family from pointlessly wasting their resources. In other words, the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect won that confrontation with the Sinyalian Kingdom's Royal Family!

​ Many people approached the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, including many reputed warriors, seeking refuge.

A day later, three veiled women arrived and met those people. These three women asked women to follow them and instructed everyone else to leave.

Many men were dissatisfied upon hearing that order. They had come to this place with their entire family. And these three women were actually saying that they would only allow women to enter?! Was this a joke?!

How could they accept such an order?!

Even the women found it difficult to accept this order. How could they leave behind their family? Many of them had a child, and it was extremely difficult to separate them from their family.

Those three women didn't seem impressed. Instead, they issued a declaration, "All those willing women who wish to enter the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect Palace, follow us. The rest can leave immediately."

After hearing this declaration, a few warriors couldn't hold back any longer. They instantly attacked these three women.

However, this turned out to be a blunder. Because these three women weren't some random experts.

These three women were 5 Star Rank warriors possessing Seven Star Yin Physique. All those warriors who attacked them were frozen immediately.

"Make your choice quickly," Those three women turned after saying those words.

Many of the people gathered here were cultivators. Either from the sects or from other organizations in the Glerian Kingdom.

All of them were left awe-struck as they saw those three women freeze so many warriors. It indicated just how powerful these three women were. This greatly motivated all warriors in the area.

Very soon, many women made their choice and entered the Mist.

Amelia Byrne smirked upon sensing so many possible sect disciples. There were nearly 900 women who entered the Mist.

Amelia Byrne controlled the Mist and led them to the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect Palace. Naturally, several guys tried to follow these women, but they all found themselves back where they began.

These new sect disciples were tested in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. The quality of their Ardor, their Ardor reserves, Elemental Attribute, Bloodline Test, and their insight into Laws was tested.

Azaroth had left behind many special artifacts which could test these characteristics. He left behind the formula of these artifacts so that the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect could create these artifacts on their own in case they were damaged, lost, or destroyed.

All the new disciples possessing Ice Element were sent to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. They definitely possessed a Yin Physique; it didn't matter whether it was of low grade or a high grade.

The Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's size had tripled in these three months. Meanwhile, the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect's size had increased by five times.

Thus, the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect and the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect suddenly halted their recruitment.

Recruiting so many new disciples had caused many issues to arise in both sects. Thus, Tiana halted recruitment until both the sects could deal with these issues.
