31 Side Story: Introspection (1/2)
Wu Qianyu stood in the ruins of the Green Leaf Sect, silently staring at the grave stones that lined the courtyard. It had been two months since that day. Since then, she had become a member of Ten Thousand Flower Valley and disciple of an immortal. She had recently broken through to the 6th Level of Spirit Intiate but it all still seemed like a dream. Even as she held the powerful Purple Jade Sword in her hand and felt the razor sharp energy of the Dugu's 10th Sword emit out of every pore of her body, she every day was like a hazy fantasy.
She was traveling alone, having been given a similar mission as Lin Qingcheng to adventure alone. She was headed to far off lands, unlike Senior Sister, because with in the provinces it would be hard for her to find enough opponents. Her weapon and arts allowed her to more than surpass normal peak Spirit Initiates and master had given her a list of targets in distant regions. The first place she visited was her old home. As she stared at the ruins she thought, I don't deserve this, I deserve to be buried next to my father and mother. She looked at the hundreds of smaller stone memorials... and also buried among my friends.
Instead, she was the only survivor. Since then, she gained two cute senior sisters. She also experienced wondrous intimacy with a man, many times. She didn't reject her master's occasional advances. They were often in in close proximity as he trained her one-on-one. He was a hot blooded male but also the utmost gentleman. He was very kind and very diligent and treated her well. She truly appreciated him and everything he had done for her. But even now, she didn't know how she really felt about him. He was her master, yet they also had that kind of relation. Was this normal? Did she even deserve him?
At some point, tears flowed freely down her face. Why me? Am I special? He heart would feel soaring joy when she was with her master and yet when she was alone her thoughts would always be with those she lost. Her heart it felt as it being cut apart by pain. Her hand gripped the sword handle tighter, since she couldn't figure out her heart, she could simply numb it through slaughter.
It seemed like master was still master and seemed to have seem into her heart. The mission he had given her was to subjugate a number of regions that also were experiencing demon problems; the local populace suffering and nobody seemingly wanting to help or simply unable to. The world was truly too vast and there were not enough immortals. If there was nobody to help the people, then she would. Her pain also drove her, as she would use it vanquish pain, vanquish the evil from this world.

Wu Qianyu knelt in front of her parents and bowed. ”Father, mother, daughter was weak and could not save you. But I have changed, I am not the same person I was before. I swear upon my life, all the pain in the world, I will shoulder it for the people.”

In a far off region, a farming village burned as a band of green goblins rampaged. These goblins had short stocky stature that masked their demonic strength. They waved wicked looking machetes as they cackled and yelled, rushing about the village. Most of the men already died trying to defend. The rest were murdered without mercy, not even the elderly or young boys were spared.
The women and girls were all gathered up in the village square. They were guarded by many goblins who stared at them with unveiled lust, grabbing at their crotch and pointing at them obscenely. Daughters cried and screamed as mothers tried to shield them from the horrors.
A massive goblin a full head taller than normal goblins looked over before yelling out with basic human speech, ”Hehehe, you bitches better be obedient. That's the only way for you to live another day.”
”Kekeke, boss, I killed three men this time! Let me have a mother daughter pair!” Another goblin laughed harshly.
