Chapter 45 Master Of The Temple Of The Dark Moon
The old man was silent for a long time, Victor's words just hit the spot, the sect forbade the relationship between a man and a woman and this rule was appointed directly by the sect master.
It didn't matter if it was an ordinary student or an elder, the punishment was still carried out, in the best cases the loss of the base cultivation, in the worst cases the loss of life.
The old man knew this very well, he had never had a dao companion, but even so, he did not want to miss out on two good saplings. Of course, he would never go against the sect master as he would not have the courage to do so, but he could still cheat a bit and ask for the sect master's opinion.
'First we have to ask the Sect Master in case she changes her mind.' The old man's eyes lit up with hope, he decided to try to persuade her, and if not, he would play a little trickery.
He couldn't miss such an opportunity, he couldn't just let them go.
"I'll find you later!" - Suddenly the old man who was conducting the first stage of the selection disappeared before their eyes and a new one appeared in his place, a cultivator who was here to substitute for the old man conducting the selection.
Victor shrugged and didn't take the old man's words too seriously, he didn't know his identity and he certainly didn't believe that the Dark Moon Temple would decide to change the rules just because of them, it would be absurd.
Before they left, Victor and Mikena each received a token with the number 2 on the both of them, and a dragon engraved on the back. The token was required for tomorrow, for the second stage of the selection.
"What do you propose to do before tomorrow?" - Victor asked curiously as he left the square, where the first stage of the selection was taking place.
Hearing these words, Mikena smiled seductively and without saying a word dragged him to the nearest inn, it was clear to him what she desired.
With a grin, Victor did not refuse and followed after her.
**********
The first stage of the selection process was fully completed and many of the names of the young cultivators rumbled throughout the regions.
A woman named Li Yan at the age of nineteen was already in the initial stage of Earthly Ascension(2), this shocked many.
But soon after, more big news broke out.
A pair of a man and a woman, both twenty-one years of age, both at the late stage of the Earthly Ascension(2), it was like a tsunami crash for numerous sects.
What sect didn't want such excellent seedlings, which in the future might shake the world and elevate the sect.
Just because of these three, who showed an incredible talent in cultivation in the first stage of the selection process, many of the names of the young cultivators were simply forgotten and not even mentioned, as they were completely overshadowed, of course this did not include the small sects that like locusts attacked them with requests to join.
Soon after this news, the couple's names were revealed. The young cultivator with a terrific cultivation base turned out to be none other than the young master of the Yang clan, Victor. While the only thing known about the woman was that her name was Mikena.
It didn't matter if it was a righteous sect or a demonic one, it would be foolish to let such talent at such a young age just pass by, and even if you did, you should make sure that it would not cause problems in the near future.
For example, if they wanted to join a demonic sect many righteous sects would bare their fangs against them so they wouldn't have time to grow into a terrifying enemy, as would the demonic sects do too.
Of course, this didn't apply to some bigger sects, for example if they became disciples of the Temple of the Dark Moon, no one would dare do anything to them, of course it would be very different if they refused to join a righteous sect just to join a small demonic sect.
The outcome would be death.
While the small and medium-sized sects could not afford to join the fight for Victor and Mikena, the bigger sects sent their representatives to Tangxiang City, the capital city of the Blue Wind Empire, with only one task.
Bring either one or the both of them into their sect.
**********
Northern Region. Temple of the Dark Moon.
In the middle of the huge hall there stood an incomparable beauty, her eyes filled with depth, it was impossible to tell what she was thinking about at the moment. She was wearing a white robe that emphasized her luscious figure, but despite the fact that she was an incredibly beautiful woman her expression was very cold, as if she had no emotions.
"Another year has passed," she sighed, looking at the snow around her.
That woman was Xue Yan, the master of the Temple of the Dark Moon.
Knock! Knock! ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
At this moment, her thoughts were interrupted when suddenly a young sect disciple entered the hall. The disciple tilted her head slightly to bow in front of Xue Yan and handed over the jade stone.
"Master Elder Wu just sent over the information on the first stage of selection."
"Okay, you can go." Replied the sect master.
After her words, the student immediately left the room.
Holding the jade stone in her hands she threw it in with the others, she was in a rather bad mood right now and didn't want to check the latest news.
But only a few hours later she began to check.
[The master of the righteous Sword Sect and a disciple formed a dao couple!]
"Huh, what?"
Another message...
[A student proposed to a master and she said yes! A shocking love story between a student and a master of the Scarlet Phoenix sect...].
Without even reading the rest, she immediately crushed the jade stone and moved on to the next one.
[To resist heaven's punishment, the master of the Paradise Fruit Sect sacrificed his cultivation base for the sake of his disciple...]
[The master has proposed to his apprentice, all the demonic sects are in turmoil...].
[What should I do if an apprentice has proposed to a master?]
[Falling in love with a student? Long Chen and Wang Bingyun formed a dao couple.]
Crack! Crack! Crack!
If Xue Yan was in a bad mood before, now it has become many times worse.
"Who sent me this news?" Her eyes narrowed dangerously with a flicker of cold light, most of all she hated hearing about couples or love. Especially all of today's news was about the student-teacher relationship, which was taboo. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Having crushed almost all the jade stones, she left only one, and as she thought, it must have been normal because it only contained information about the new seedlings found by Elder Wu.
