Chapter 315 — Murder

The Masters could only watch in astonishment.

At first, the Sect Leaders were merely fighting over the chance to become the Divine Envoy’s servants, but by the end, they were basically selling their subordinates.

This continued for several minutes, and if no one stopped them, it seemed very likely that these Sect Leaders would end up selling themselves as prostitutes in the end.

Fortunately, just when the Elders were beginning to doubt themselves, a faint chuckle interrupted the offers.

"I’ve long heard of the Sect Leaders’ great reputation. I’ve always admired their many achievements."

"However, I never expected that they would be like this when I met them in person."

The voice obviously belonged to a woman, causing the Warriors to turn their attention to the young woman among the pair.

However, when they looked at her, they found that her mouth was shut.

As some of them looked to the side, their pupils instantly shrank. They discovered that the previous words did not come from the woman, but from the rough, middle-aged man.

Most importantly, some of them could recognize this voice’s owner.

"The Sect Leader of the Blood Devil Sect? What is she doing here?", several people who had met Liora doubted, wondering what was going on.

In particular, the Supreme Sword Sect’s leader was the most shocked.

Despite what his previous disdain would suggest, he had met Liora in the past and was the most scared of her.

Immediately, a shiver ran through his back as he shot back, opening distance between himself and the "Divine Envoy".

"You deserve to be the leader of a major Sect."

"You react pretty quickly...", the middle-aged man spoke as his face began to squirm.

Under the shocked eyes of the Sect Leader, a familiar face emerged in front of him.

Just when he was wondering how this had happened, a crimson light covered his field of vision.

It was not only his own. The entire Grandmaster Summit was covered.

Soon, the mountain appeared to have been divided from the outside world by a crimson domain, as only painful screams could be heard from the inside.

"Is it fun to toy with a bunch of mortals like this?", Ophis couldn’t help but look at her protector...no, at Liora, and questioned.

Staring at the broken corpses around her, all belonging to Masters, she was speechless.

She couldn’t understand what Liora was doing.

Although she and her companions regularly slaughtered people and her Clan accepted human sacrifices from hundreds of sects, they only did so to improve their strength.

But Liora was clearly a Warrior, albeit a slightly stronger one.

What benefit would she gain by killing a bunch of ordinary people?

"Could it be that she practices some kind of bloodthirsty, murderous Warrior technique?"

"No wonder she has become so strong. But if that’s the case, she may be useful in the future.", Ophis thought silently.

Liora did not know that Ophis was making plans for her future.

But even if she were to know, she wouldn’t spend any time giving her an explanation.

After collecting the valuable items carried by the Sect Leaders, she stared at the peak of the mountain for a bit before she took action.

Instantly, several black serpents emerged from her body and struck the mountain.

Their mouths opened, and they devoured the earth, leaving behind deep craters.

As if she felt that this was not enough, Liora thought for a bit, and her mind moved.

Her soul deep within her body trembled, and a tiny portion of Indestructible Matter flew out, landing on the mountain and scattering all over the place.

Then, Liora’s hand blurred.

The saber shot through the air and landed on Ophis’ right arm, separating it from her shoulder and letting blood and the broken part fall to the ground.

Ignoring the hateful expression on Ophis’ face and her painful hiss, Liora surveyed the peak.

"No! There needs to be a little more damage. Moreover, some traces of shadow elements should be left behind.", she judged as she took a step forward, and the shadows around her squirmed.

--

It was only half an hour later that Liora and Ophis left the Grandmaster Summit.

By the time they left, the mountain’s peak was completely unrecognizable.

Bloody corpses, broken weapons, and deep craters were all over the place.

If someone didn’t know any better, they would think that a large war involving several parties had occurred, resulting in the mutual destruction of both of them.

If anyone investigated deeper, they would sense the traces of black serpents’ attacks, the power of shadows, and the scars left behind by Warriors.

Blood Devil Sect.

Not much time had passed since Liora left this place, but in just a few days, everything had changed.

She had visited the Heavenly Sword Sect, met the Divine Race, and killed hundreds of Masters. Most importantly, in the span of a few days, she had regained her strength.

Scanning over this sect, which she had developed single-handedly for more than a decade, she couldn’t help but feel emotional, though this wasn’t necessarily done by her.

"It’s interesting to think what would have happened if I hadn’t awakened my memories."

"Would I have continued on the path of a Warrior and slowly created the next realm by myself?"

"Or would I have simply died at the hands of the Divine Race and become a sacrifice?"

Having dealt with everything that needed to be taken care of, Liora finally had the time to think about the several things that she consciously ignored before.

"I can be certain that I was reborn as a human when I reincarnated in this world. Yet, the moment I awakened my memories, I instantly transformed into a pure-blooded Devil."

"The same is true for the System..."

"Before I awakened, I didn’t have ’access’ to it. It was only when I regained my memories that it reappeared.", Liora thought as her fingers lightly tapped on the table.

"Does the World Devourer Bloodline and the System exist in my soul rather than my body?"

"Are they both only ’accessible’ to my ’real’ self, whatever that means?"
