Chapter 925: Scheming Old Men
"Master, I will go with Elder Lim to her mountain to get her things. It is best that she does not leave anything behind." Kana was originally planning to just put up a barrier around Elder Lim"s mountain for her, but since her Master had decided to take her in, it would at least allow her to not feel alone within the sect.
"Alright. If anyone causes trouble, you can deal with it how you see fit. Master will handle any aftermath." Yu Ling replied with a smile. Kana nodded and left the mountain with Elder Lim.
While Kana was doing her thing, a bunch of old men were gathering around a large table on Elder Xuegang"s mountain. "Elder Xuegang, are we just going to let a mere disciple do as she pleases!?"
"You think I do not want to get rid of her!? That little b.a.s.t.a.r.d lizard girl actually humiliated me multiple times! But there is something strange about her! She is just a mere immortal king, yet she is able to have power that seems to far surpa.s.s an immortal emperor. I have a feeling her cultivation might be suppressed, or she is using some kind of demonic technique!" Elder Xuegang answered. He was gritting his teeth as he spoke because just thinking about it made him angry.
"Then what should we do?" An elder asked.
"What if we have the night owls handle the job? They are known for killing peak immortal emperors, and the organization seems to be not from this realm but from the ascended realm." Another elder suggested.
"This is not a bad idea. But we will wait before hiring them. Investigate her and find out who her family members are. We will use them as a means to handle her. Because I know a frontal confrontation will not bode well for us. Do everything discreetly, and do not let the sect master find out." Elder Xuegang clenched his fists as he continued: "We will make her pay for making fools of us!"
"What should we do with those Elder Lim and Elder Ling?"
"Humph! We will just make them understand their place. Since they think they are so powerful, we will show them just how powerful they are when they stand against us. They wanted to oppose us; then we will show them what happens when you oppose us."

Kana landed on Elder Lim"s mountain peak and followed Elder Lim to her immortal cave. "Kana, can I ask how you knew my cultivation was suppressed? The technique I use is not something anyone should be able to see through even if they were an ascended."
"Because the rules of this world do not apply to me," Kana replied vaguely, causing Elder Lim to stare at her in confusion, but Kana did not elaborate any further.
"I-I see…. Anyway, I thank you. Because of you, I no longer need to suppress my cultivation. But I must warn you, those old men will not hold back now that you have defied them and humiliated them in front of everyone. They are probably already thinking of ways to attack you. Most commonly, they would go after your family….." Elder Lim suddenly felt the air around her grow so cold that she could see the air in front of her. She turned to see Kana with her head lowered and her clothes fluttering under her own power. It was not just Elder Lim who felt this sudden coldness, but the entire sect felt the air temperature drop drastically.
"Let them try. They dare to touch any of my family members, they will wish they were never born." Kana"s voice was void of emotion. Her reverse scale was her family. No one was allowed to even threaten them. Just hearing that they might do such a thing was enough to set her off. But after taking a deep breath, she calmed down. She would not attack anyone before they had done something. But if they did, she would be adding many new door ornaments to her immortal cave.
The air in the sect returned to its normal temperature causing an uproar within the sect as people all speculated what had just happened. But because it came and went too fast, no one was able to pinpoint the location of where the sudden power surge came from.
After gathering her things, Kana and Elder Lim headed back to Yu Ling"s mountain peak to settle in. Kana returned to her room to cultivate, but before she did, she brought Creige in to show him around and spend some quality time together. She also made sure to warn her daughters in case something happened.
The next morning after sending Creige back to what he was doing, she went to practice with her Master and listened to Yu Ling"s experiences as she progressed through the cultivation world. Such stories were beneficial to Kana as they helped her learn about many things. With these stories and sparring with her Master and Elder Lim, Kana really began to understand the value of the sword and how to use it in a more proper manner. The two different styles allowed her more experience as she began mixing things together with everything she had learned over the years. Every day she was learning something new, and it was very beneficial for her as she progressed in her cultivation as well.
A month later….
Angelica was sitting at a table in an inn with a book in her hand when a few men in black robes walked up to her. "Are you Angelica, the daughter of Kana?"
Angelica looked up at the man who asked her the question and smiled. "It depends. Did you come here to kidnap me, or did you come here to praise my Mama? Depending on your answer depends on if you can leave here or not…."
In another place, Bi Ling was sitting at the edge of a pond with a long stick with a string attached to it, trying to fish, when a group of men surrounded her as well. She looked at them and gave a light snort as she said: "I wanted a fish but got a bunch of old perverted men. Mei, what do you think? Should I let them live?"
