The Story Never Ends

"Haha, did you believe it?" The Sect Master smirked.

The creature felt some hope after hearing it but the next words made it petrified.

"No, you're just a soul of a devil and you should know whom you belong to."

After he finished saying this, a brown-colored aura started coming out from his body which covered the soul of Edgar.

"This..what is happening?" It felt a familiar aura trying to pull it towards the body of the Sect Master.

"Don't tell me.." It looked at him and muttered, "You are that Devil."

"No, I am a human. But I have sold my soul to the devil."

The Sect Master laughed and grabbed the head of the soul and looked straight at its eyes. "Have you ever guessed why were you so talented? Why did I pick you as my disciple?"

"You used me from the start." It couldn't believe that the Sect Master who dotted on it from the start was a lunatic.

"Haha, it's true. I used a Secret Art to send a part of my devil essence into your body which later grew along with your cultivation. It improved your cultivation at a rapid rate. Not only that, it even combined with your soul. Actually, only after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage could you explore the soul. But this art is different. It allows us to explore it much earlier."

"Do you know why I kept you alive for this long? It's for this same soul that was growing inside of you. I had planned to absorb it after you have reached the late stage of Golden Core State. It would then allow me to reach the Nascent Soul Stage."

"But who could have thought that you would die much earlier and your soul would be free. Now, it's useless as this soul won't grow outside the body. As a result, I can only absorb it now."

"Because of you, I can't reach the Nascent Soul Stage. Not only that, you even wasted 100 years of my life." Due to deep resentment, he crushed the head of the soul. It was about to scatter after getting destroyed but a huge suction force came from his mouth. In this way, the soul got absorbed into his body.

After a few seconds, a terrifying aura started to come out from his body which was felt by every disciple in the Sect. Even the hall was about to get destroyed from it. So, he immediately stopped it.

"Damn, I'm still far away from the Nascent Soul Stage." He swung his right hand on the nearby wall with frustration. The wall cracked and it fell to the ground creating dust everywhere.

"It looks like the Bone and Devil Sect escaped from the disaster and the elders might have also fallen." He looked solemn.

"That disciple and Thaddeus…" He thought for a while and made up his mind.

"I cannot wait much longer. I had promised that the grounds would be seized by this month. His Majesty cannot wait much longer. I can only do this personally." He looked solemn and was about to leave when he suddenly sensed a spiritual artifact flying above his sect.

He came out of the hall from where he had destroyed the wall just now and looked at the sky. He saw a small black ship flying through the air. It slowly landed near him and a masked man came out of it. He saw the man putting the artifact in his space ring and coming towards him.

There were also some disciples coming out to check it from a distance. But before they could come near, he yelled, "Leave. This is not something you can see."

The disciples left hurriedly and only the masked man and the Sect Master stood there looking at each other.

"Who are you?" The Sect Master was the first one to break the silence.

"What do you think?" The masked man smiled.

The Sect Master looked at him for a while and chuckled, "Are you the one who killed Edgar?"

"Oh, why did you guess so?" The masked man wanted to know.

"A person of your caliber would never allow Edgar to escape. But now you are already here. It means that you allowed him to escape and tracked him here. Is that right?" The Sect Master was full of confidence.

"You could say so." Actually, he just followed the map given by the Sect Master and reached here. But it looks like the Sect Master of the Blood Saber Sect was already anticipating him here.

"But I also managed to kill some elders wearing red robes on the way here," he mocked.

"Oh, I was waiting for their news here. It looks like they have already fallen in your hands." The Sect Master didn't seem to bother about it.

"Are you not angry? I thought that we could never have a peaceful talk after this." The masked man wanted to rile him up.

"Haha, it means that they are just too weak. Why do I get angry over such trivial matters?" The Sect Master laughed.

"You are too cruel," The masked man responded while shaking his head.

"It's not me that is too cruel. But the world is, the strong always eat the weak. So, there is no need to worry about them." The Sect Master took out two large sabers from his ring.

"I don't know why you became the disciple of the Bone and Devil Sect with this cultivation level. But you are going to die over here after what you have done.." He finally released his full cultivation and a vigorous aura was emitted from him which affected the whole surroundings.
