1006 Vice Leader 3 (1/2)

Just as Lilith was brooding over her will to cut Dyon limb from limb, Sokzac knocked lightly on her door.

”Come in.” Lilith said softly.

Currently, she sat in meditation, trying to calm the state of her heart. If she let this feeling get out of control, then it would definitely effect her dao heart. Although she was feeling the impulse to lean on someone, she was also feeling a strong repulsion to it as well. Having two drastically different mentalities would be terrible for her future.

Sokzac walked in with a smile on his handsome face. ”How are you feeling?”

Lilith felt her heart flutter again, but she quickly calmed with a deep breath. ”I'm progressing slowly.”

Hearing the slight tenderness in Lilith's voice made Sokzac's eyes open in surprise. Even though he tried to quickly hide it so as not to embarrass Lilith, with her cultivation, she had already caught the slight change in his expression, causing her delicate, ice carved cheeks to redden.

Sokzac tactfully decided not to mention the oddity in Lilith's actions, leaving both of them room to take a step back.

”Here.” Sokzac recovered something from his spatial ring.

Seeing the orb of light and the blood red pill, Lilith felt a shiver go down her spine. However, she still took them, placing the pair into her own spatial ring.

”Try to get better as soon as you can. An elder of the sect came by earlier today, apparently we're going on a trip to the tower to gain experience. The Valley of Geniuses is opening soon, so we should go try our luck.”

Lilith's brow furrowed. ”We still have many things to do here.”

”It's best if we leave those tedious things to the supervisors we've long since stationed here. This isn't an opportunity we should miss and it's also a good opportunity to make our presence known.”

”That won't be possible. If we reveal ourselves as devil path cultivators before matters are concluded, everything we've worked for would be meaningless. There is still one massive shipment we have to oversee, then we can gut the funds and destroy all of the evidence before those conventional path leaches have time to see that something is wrong. We can't do anything to jeapordize that.”

Sokzac smiled. ”With our power, as long as we're not suppressed, would we really need to use our devil path energies to make a statement?”

This was true. As devil path cultivators, they were suppressed even more than Dyon was, easily by 70 or even 80%. Although they wouldn't be able to use their true strength so as not to be exposed, it would still be a net positive for them.

Lilith sighed, ”As much as I want to, if we went now, people would begin asking questions about just where a mere 98th quadrant got disciples as powerful as us. If that makes people more interested in the happenings here, it could be trouble.”
