201: Xie Ro comes out

Xie Ro comes out

The Dark Domain is mostly ruled over by the Xie Clan whose existence stems from the very start of the new era. A prominent sword clan that holds one of the fragments of the Invincible Monarch Wang Wudi.2

They were one of the strongest factions in the whole central regions, but all of that is all in the past. Now, they are mere second-class power that could barely hold a domain.

Of the Five Sword Families, only the Xie Clan had lost its brilliance and fame. Even though it had produced geniuses after geniuses, the once prominent clan found it hard to stand at the peak once most of their Immortals died in battle.

Right now, they only have a single immortal who is the current head of the clan. But in a secluded that is located deep within the valleys of Xie Clan, a cave that is radiating with devilish might and burning heat was also having someone breakthrough celestial phase.

A gust of burning wind swept the faces of seven youths who had their knees on the ground and face wipe of any emotion, they waited for something to come out of the cave.

Another big gust of hot wind blew past his face. The seven youths abruptly moved and then kowtowed to the ground as they announced, "We greet the True Devil King of Flames, our Master, Xie Ro!"

It was a loud shout, but it was devoid of emotions. Those who could hear could tell that the people who speak of the words were dolls who had no emotions to speak of.

"So, how long has it been since I entered seclusion?" A voice rang and a man with a well-toned body and walked out of the cave with his body available for the world to see.

Of the seven youths, the one who was kneeling on the left-most area spoke, "Reporting to Master, it had been 4 years since Master entered seclusion."

"3 Years huh. That's rather longer than I would have thought. The devil promised me that I would regain my celestial grace once I absorb his legacy, and spirit. His words were true and now, it is only a matter of time before I transcend Mortality and reach True Eternity."

"Glory to the Master!"

Xie Ro smiled and then asked, "What of the Wang bastard? Is he still enjoying his seat at the top of the Celestials? Or have he already moved to become an Immortal?"

"Wang Shu Qing has yet to transcend, but his wife, Xiao Fei'er had transcended Mortality and had become an Immortal. The time Master had been waiting for is near and your brother, the Clan Head is moving the way you like him to. But there had been hiccups in accomplishing the domain. The talk of a devil with four wings had been appearing all over the place. We fear that another True Devil has appeared in the Realm."

Xie Ro who had just commanded one of his disciples to bring out a fresh set of clothes stopped as he was putting on a black robe.

"So, another True Devil appeared? But it only has four wings that means it's a True Devil General, not a True Devil King. The difference between our bloodlines are large and I can command him if I want to, it will not be a problem. What about the joining hands of the devil sects and forces?"

"Another problem was faced as the True Devil General attacked the lower-ranked powers that are under our control. A good number of sects and academies were destroyed, not sparing even a kid to tell the tale of what he had done. But one particular man did manage to get out alive and passed us a message. It was the Sect Master of the Regal Devil Cult, he was tortured to the point of insanity and the message was, "Advent".  We do not know what the True Devil General meant, but we fear that it has something to do with the Gate."

Xie Ro began to think and after a while, he looked at the disciple who was speaking and commanded him, "Go and tell my brother that take control of the Domain before I get out of my second seclusion. We must also take control of the Earth Domain, tell him that time is ticking, one I wake up from my seclusion, I will have transcended Mortality and we will open the Gate before we wage war against Wang Shu Qing."

"I hear and obey, Master."

Xie Ro turn around and was just about to enter the cave when he suddenly stopped and questioned, "What of the two things I made him look for?"

"We have found a possible key, but it is not clear if its blood will suffice. The Blood Hell Sword is said to be in the hands of Heaven's Will Academy. It is a shame but the Wang Family is now in possession of a sword that has the sword fragment of Wang Wudi's sword."

Xie Ro abruptly turned around and then asked in a perturbed tone, "What do you mean by that? If the sword is in the hands of Heaven's Will Academy, then how can the Wang Family procure the sword? They have no connection to any of the academies other than the Thundegod and the Sacred Beasts Academy, so how can that be?"

"Reporting to Master. The current honorary Son of Heaven of the Heaven's Will Academy is Wang Shu Qing's firstborn, Wang Ling, he was the one who destroyed Master's Castle in the Mini World. Also, the Wang Family's connection has been extending all over the realm and its connection is now not limited to those two Academies, Master."

"Elaborate."

"We have been observing the actions of the Wangs for a long time and they are now all over the central regions. The Tranquil Empire and the Ancient Scripture Academy of the Water Domain has a connection to the Wangs. The Yan Clan that is expanding quickly through their numerous revival of pill recipes from olden times, and Heaven's Will Academy is currently on good terms with the Wangs. Their influence is spreading at a terrifying rate, we are losing out to them. All of these connections also ties to Wang Shu Qing's firstborn."

Xie Ro creased his brows and after a long time he announced with a shout, "That's it, I will be returning to the Clan. We will create embers ahead of time.."
