————————Su Lan's POV—————————
It was a beautiful afternoon as I was sitting in my courtyard admiring the freedom the clouds had.
Suddenly, a huge pressure fell on my courtyard. I quickly stood up and looked up to the source of the pressure. I then saw two beautiful women. One was blonde and beautiful with a very feminine body. She had a mature and blood thirsty aura around her. When I first saw her I immediately knew that she was a Golden Core cultivator.
The other one looked very young but her shape was as good as the one besides her. She had crimson red hair and blue eyes that pierced the soul. Although I couldn't sense her cultivation I instinctively knew she was way powerful than me and her Golden Core companion. She also had 3 pair of Devil-bat wings on her back.
They slowly descended until they landed a few meters away from me.
I quickly bowed down and spoke, " What do these two powerful seniors want with my weak backwater sect"
I was worried they had bad intentions for my sect. If they did no one on this continent could stop them.
"Hello, I'm Rias Gremory, the so-called Demon Empress and I've come to make this Sect the best of them all" plainly said the Red haired.
Listening to her I was both surprised and worried. Knowing her reputation, I knew if I refused my sect will become dust.
"Would you want to serve under me?" She continued.
I gulp my saliva as I know that my decision might save or destroy my sect. I knelt down and said, "Yes, the Profound Flower Sect will serve you, my lady"
"Good answer." Replied the blonde woman who seemed a little disappointed.
———————Zhen Mei's POV———————
Apparently my sister is now the strongest person on the continent. They call her the Demon Empress. She went to the 4 Divine Empires one by one and beating up their Golden Core cultivators and declaring war on them.
I might hate her but I had to admit that what she did was pretty cool. The Golden Core cultivators were now regarded as the peak of cultivation as people nowadays believe the Angelic Core stage to be nothing but a myth as no one has reached that stage in over a thousand years.
People say she was toying with them and after every battle she didn't have any scratches on her. Her feats are so legendary that other people think that she is an urban legend.
But I saw her. Father told me that during their fight she wasn't even taking him seriously. After the fight she flicked away a combined attack of 2 Golden Core cultivators as if it were nothing.
Here I thought I had surpassed her but now in her eyes I'm nothing but an ant. I'm not even half as pretty as she is. I'll forever live in her shadow.

It's been a few months and the Profound Flower Sect has laying lower than usual. Obviously people would never expect that the continent's biggest badie has been living here.
Sects on this continent are ranked on the the number and cultivation of disciples. The sect leader has to be at the Core Formation stage or higher. If a sect had 100 disciples in the Ki Fortifying stage then it would be ranked A
50 disciples in Ki Fortifying stage and it is a B sect. 10 Ki Fortifying disciples then it would be C rank. If a sect had below 10 Ki Fortifying stage disciples then it was a D rank. Sects below the D rank were the E ranks and those were in backwater towns and cities in dying small Nations. In the 4 Empires there were only allowed rank B and above Sects.
The Profound Flower Sect was one of the E ranks. But even among the E ranks it was one of the worst. The disciples were mostly orphan girls who came from the streets.
There were only 1 Ki Gathering stage disciple and most elders were Ki Gathering stage with a few being Ki Fortifying. In the Nation of Quartas it was a fairly good sect.
The strongest sect in Quartas was a D rank. There were only 3 D ranks and the rest were E ranks.
People living here lived in completely different worlds than those living in Middle Rank Nations, Large Rank Nations and the Empires.
Nations of low rank were located on the outskirts of the continent. The Empires were neighbors at the center of the continent with the small Nation, Mildah being the center of the continent. Countries of different ranks weren't allowed to fight. A Nation can't interfere with anything of a lower rank Nation without the consent of the Empires.
This means that connections with higher rank Nations in Mildah was minimal.
———————————————————————
In the Outer Courtyards of the Profound Flower Sect, many girls could be seen cultivating in a large open space. The one with the lowest cultivation was at the 2nd rank of the Ki Fortifying stage.
These were the Outer Court disciples. 'HOW!!!', you may ask.
—- —-Flashback a few months ago, a day after Rias became the Leader—- —-
Everyone was happy in the Profound Flower Sect when their former sect leader told them the Demon Empress was now their Leader.
The atmosphere in the sect was shining and bright. Rias had told them she had a gift for them so they gathered in the Main hall.
Rias stood in front of about 80 girls. These were all the disciples of this sect. A red gauntlet appeared on her right hand. Many people were surprised.
She held it up and a blue light started to emanate from the green gem on the gauntlet. Suddenly all the Ki in the surroundings was sucked by the gauntlet.
**BOOST**
**BOOST**
**BOOST**
**BOOST**
**BOOSTED GEAR GIFT: TRANSFER**
The Ki rushed out of the green gem and filled the surrounding again. But surprisingly the Ki was a thousand times denser and richer. Sensing this pure Ki everyone was shocked. Some even starting worshiping her as if a god.
She then ordered Qin Lao to teach the people a better cultivation technique.
