Won poked his head once the sun had fallen and the moon had risen, with cold and sharp winds kissing his face and dragging his long hair.
His eyes appeared all the more radiant and resolute.
Mumbling to himself, touching the two necklaces he had inherited from Juan and Libra "It's been about four months brother since I escaped. I can't take your revenge nor fulfill your wishes safely yet, but don't worry I will. Wish me luck on my continued journeys."
Won looked behind and said, "Wait for me near Sky Cleaved Mountain, you should know the territory around here. Wait there by the winding Azure dawn river, we shall continue from there towards the Chu capital for information."
Ozaris nodded and bowed, leaving in a flash.
Won sighed, from his pores a thin black layer fell out. Covering his body like black smog.
He dissapeared towards where his camp was.
Appearing at the edge, he thought it once more before writing upon a piece of paper and then throwing an arrow into a tent.
...
Hong Du who was currently being massaged, heard a shrill cry race through the air rapidly approaching him. Suddenly with a yelp he found an arrow right below his bed, attached to it was a note.
Hong Du and the rather muscular girl massaging him stared at each other gulping, eventually plucking up his courage and wishing to also show his bravery in front of the lady he was courting, he hurrumphed and picked the note.
The girl poked curiously, in an oddly cute voice completely the opposite of her figure, "What does it say?"
Hong Du frowned for a moment before repeating the letters contents.
"Dear Hong Du, your brother would like to say his goodbyes and give thanks to his brothers and sisters in the camp, I hope you can carry my wishes and pass this along. You may be wondering who I am, or maybe not. You may not understand what happened today or why I must leave so urgently. Well let us just leave that to the Heavens. Anyway I will be leaving, I wish you well, if fate allows it let us meet again! Protect yourselves and be careful, also I hope in the future that we need not meet here again. I... Won the one who desires."
The last part before the signature was erased, but a few half made words were present.
The woman near to him asked in surprise, "Huh? The Won who even the Emperor's envoy had come in search of? Why do you think he left, especially in such a manner?"
Hong Du shook his head in shared confusion, "I don't know who he is, but I know as much as the bastard pretends to be cruel and cold, he's rather too sensitive. Even us brothers who should have been a mere passing memory to someone so talented, seem to pull on his heartstrings. You should have heard of his combat prowess today, able to match - Ferocious Tiger Gu Sanping, he truly is a one in a million type of man."
The woman nodded as if accepting it. Indeed Gu Sanping indeed deserve reputation enough such that even his rivals received attention.
The woman asked, "What do you think the last part was, about not wanting to meet you? He said before he hopes to meet you, yet then says he wished never to see you?"
Hong Du shrugged his shoulders.
Staring randomly, Hong Du was suprised to find that a small shower of melancholy had covered him.
He felt a twitch in his heart, as if he had lost a good friend.
As if seeking to drive away these feelings, the rather slow paced and sneaky Hong Du stared into the woman next to him.
His hands snaked across her neck, as he pulled her in her stunned stupor for a kiss.
His hands raced across her rough and toned body, running across the woman's scars.
The two enjoyed a long and deep kiss, as clothing was thrown off them.
The woman seemed to be in great enjoyment, as the man she had sought began to show his masculinity.
...
Won complained slightly under his breath, "Bastard... Forgetting completely about my request and instead hurrying to mount a woman! What a bastard, next time I meet him I'll seek justice on this matter! It's definitely not because of I'm jealous!"
Stomping his feet down a bit in anger, he eventually made one more glance at the two engaged in a fierce struggle.
Won studied their movements with his eyes, his uncommonly innocent mind began to race with a beating desire.
Won had never really been exposed to the women, much less actually learning about sex, other than what was in books. Funnily enough it wasn't that Won wasn't popular, in fact he was quite handsome although rather scholarly and thus looked less manly. He acquired many gazes, but both due to his situation and his own lone personality nothing had ever happened. In fact Won's first actual form of attraction to the other gender had been a maid who had followed him, but she was married and Won would never be an adulterer no matter what. Even in the Grim Reapers Graveyard, where ethic's and morals were tossed away and where men and women would engage in their actions anywhere at anytime, although Won had acquired some attention the women hadn't attracted Won's. Either depraved hussies or scary fiends, Won was too scared to even look in their direction. Furthermore that couldn't even be counted as sex, but rather violent battles.
Yet currently Won was getting his first lesson, as he stared at their bodies passionately connecting and could hear their moans of pleasure drowning in ecstacy with his hyper sensitive ears. Won curiously observed, his body becoming hot, but his mind becoming all the more wanton. In fact if he could Won would have liked to pounce on a beauty as well, but knowing his schedule and the lack of any actual beauties he was left to watch the large muscular woman with a sweet pixie like voice, and Hong Du a large bear like figure continuously pound, lick and fall into love.
Won's little brother seemed to have awoken finally after countless years, and as if a mighty dragon having been tamed for countless years, yet to now be free it roared.
It poked against Won's pants, his long fellow seeking freedom.
Won deeply regretted what he had done, what was he supposed to do? He couldn't control the fellow and neither could he stop imagining the flavor of love and passion. Additionally how could he have learnt the great, all powerful, supreme technique belonging to every man "Pulling on the rope to reach Heaven, from Hell".
Won swallowed as his mouth got dry, and his tongue fell out.
The little fellow obviously at Won's attempts to calm it down, began to roar louder as it began to press against his pants! A loud screech of pants tearing could be heard.
Won tried to figure out what to do.
Suddenly his passive skills came in handy.
A chill filled his wildly beating heart, his brain filled with countless thoughts began to stabilize. Yet the little fellow seemed to stir violently, as a warm and lustful warmth filled Won.
『Knowledge seeker』suddenly produced a result.
Racing towards a source of water on this should be cold, hot night.
Plunging himself in the frigid waters, his little fellow as if having met it's natural enemy slowly began to calm down, Won's rushing blood also slowed. His exploding and passionate brain, coming back into control.
Atleast even in depravity Won had very large control!
...
Finding himself back from that mentally taxing event Won reclined in defeat. Admitting he was jealous his brother had a woman, yet he had no one. He wished for not only the pleasure of a woman, but also the deepness of true love. He wished for a woman who held his back, who loved him and him only, who's heart belonged solely to him, someone who could push him over the last step on a tiring journey and even show him a way home.
Sighing profusely Won shook his head, mumbling, "All thing's shall come with time! Don't worry we'll definitely have a wife! Or two... Ai, what a mess this is..."
Won turned into a shadow as he blended into the darkness, making his way Sky Cleaved Mountain.
A large mountain upon which the moon sat, it's shape that of an obviously humongous mountain, yet it wasn't very tall and instead of a peak, a clean cut edge was present as if it had been severed by a sword. It looked rather chilling, as if an indication of Heavens Will, such that even the largest, strongest and oldest mountain could never reach the heights of Heaven.
It wasn't a very popular mountain to begin with, it's unnerving image of a sliced mountain as well as the bellows of musicians on the creepy and dominating meaning the mountain and it's name. Furthermore the fact that during a beast wave, in which many losses were taken, a good number of powerful beasts made the mountain their home.
Even from a great distance, and even with it's large height at the top of the cut mountain a large body could be made out. It was so large that it could easily darken the world. With a sheep like head, and ten horns having formed a crown atop it's head, a strange beast with black flames coiling across it's six hooves slept. It's cried and snoars filled the sky like the the cackle of Thunder, yet under the same sky as such a beast no living being dared roar outwards.
Won could even see a normally boisterous, and loud elephant being mauled by a tiger, yet even in death it barely made a peep.
Dominance and might beyond human comprehension existed within this ecosystem as the absolute predator slept merrily.
Won stared at beast, seeing it's great arrogance and dominance, he felt the beast fit well with his own character.
Having already made an oath to come catch this beast, taming it under his fists. Then flying across the sky on it's angelic like wings.
[Ding... Quest initiated {Conquerer}: Tame the Alza as your servant. Conquer the Tyrants, and become the true Conquerer, alone within the Heavens. Take what you wish, do as you please.
Reward: Title: Conquerer, 10,000 desires, Holy and Evil elements, Cultivation technique: Demon World.]
Won was excited as he saw countless opportunities and treasures lying in wait for the future, yet could only shake his head. All the quests he had would take a long time, not to mention the other factors involved. Worse yet he had three quests with almost no completion on any of them.
The one about revenge, would take a few years at the very least, needing Won to have great strength and methods. Not only was destroying a Kingdom terribly difficult with who knew how many hidden masters, furthermore the after effects could ripple as far as the eye could see, with Won potentially being hunted by the various orthodox and righteous groups.
To rule over a Empire it would take Won a even greater deal of time, at minimum two years and up to ten.
Furthermore to end it all this Alza wasn't some random beast, it was of an exceptional bloodline and ruled over all the beasts here. Without a chance, even if Won were to have reached the beasts level it would be rather tedious to handle.
Won snorted and flew towards a long and coiling river. As the night was near it's end, and the sun poked it's tongue upwards coloring the sky, as the light hit the river a deep azure color filled the lands. It was truly mesmerizing.
Won used Aim and found Ozaris.
Ozaris bowed, "Your Majesty."
Won nodded and said coldly, "Hm. Let us go."
The two turned into shadows as they fluttered away, like leaves away with the wind.
...
At the Shu empire made of over twenty minor empires, ruled by the Great Fervent Flame Emperor of Shu. An empire known for it's greed and war power, with many affiliations to the countless Immortal sects, with the Emperor's own son being the Holy Son of the Misty Peaks Immortal sect on of the seven great Righteous sects, upon which countless Immortal sects exists.
In the Capital of LuoYang, two men wearing bamboo conical hats, covered in a black cloak made their way through.
One man was very tall and emitted a violent aura which made those observing stare wide eyed, whereas the other fellow was, although also tall not as much as the first man, thin similar to a scholar. Yet the second scholar like man had a coldness that could freeze the mightiest battle spirit.
Of course these two were Won and Ozaris.
Won went towards a rather plump lady who was fanning herself in front of a magnificent marble building, with jade ornaments all over.
Atop the sign said ~ One Night Spring.
Outside various beautiful women wearing loose clothing, moving flirtatiously, with lecherous looks falling upon them. It was a courtesan house.
Won looked at the plump woman and said, "The Heavens as my witness, if I do not seek I am unworthy."
The plump woman looked up, her heavy rouge and makeup, truly a menace.
She smiled and said, "Little brother, should know the entry fee?"
Won threw a satchel with ten gold coins.
The woman laughed playfully as she eyed Won and said, "To the right, down the stairs marked in red. Tell the man once you reach the door, 'the winter is set.'"
Won walked inside.
Ozaris stared at the woman and she suddenly felt a deep pain in her head, she looked in fright up towards Ozaris.
Won scolded, "Enough!"
Ozaris bowed towards Won and stared at the woman and said, "To treat a being beyond your comprehension as such, how daring!"
Won entered and saw countless beauties. They all bore grace, charm and elegance.
Yet the men were lean, dead looking and without any energy.
Won mumbled, "Hehe. These men are losing their Yang so easily, had they known this courtesan house was really a front for one of the Four Great Demonic sects. Hai, but can I blame them? These women undoubtedly are one's people would readily follow."
...
Below the magnificent building was a maze like place, with a man with a black mask waiting in front.
Won said, "Information about all low level to mid level Empires. All their information on their royalty and nobility. Any scandals and weaknesses in the Empires."
The fellow bowed and said, "Lord, the cost of this information is by no means cheap. It will cost atleast five hundred thousand gold."
Won said, "Very well. Give me the information."
While Won was speaking he coughed some blood.
Ozaris hurriedly held Won up, but Won's pale face could show problems arising.
The man bowed and retreated. Coming out thirty minutes later with a Jade token.
Won took it and threw a large bowl of gold.
The man took it into his ring and said, "Thank you."
...
Won walked slowly out. As the two made their way further, Won held his hand to his face, but underneath it was a cold and cruel toothy smile.
Walking into a valley, suddenly a purple wall appeared behind and in front of Won.
The man from before fell down with two additional people.
Won said with a tremor in his voice, "Who... Who are you people?!"
Only a bone chilling laughter responded.
The three fluttered towards Won.
Won's frightened expression slowly melted an a slight smile appeared before his face.
Pushing out a fist to hit the man, the man was stunned and pushed back. His feet scraped hard against the floor and an intense force travelled through his body.
Meanwhile the other two people were easily dispatched by Ozaris.
Won laughed as he shook his fist, "My what a violent strength, I just barely defended. Haha. Madam Ten thousand faces Ji Yao, it's a pleasure I must say. I mean to meet the 'Greedy succubus" herself. My, my."
The man's face widened, and then he pulled on his face and a beautiful purple haired woman appeared.
Ji Yao laughed, "So you weren't injured?"
Won laughed slightly, "But you are now. Haha."
She looked at her shoulder and felt a nerve biting pain.
She contemplated, "It was for a split second, but after his fist hit mine, he grasped my wrist and poked it."
She asked, "How did you know it was me?"
Won shrugged his shoulders as he walked closer, "How would I know? Am I fortune teller? I just live by a principal. Always expect the worst in someone and work from there. If I have a lover I'll put a Gu worm in her, if it's a friend I'll give him half made techniques that will shatter his dreams of Cultivation, if it's an enemy I'll plot against him before he's an enemy. Even in army your name is famous! The unbelievably beautiful slut who can change her appearance and body as she wishes. I'd be a fool to not think that if the money hungry vixen heard a cash cow was there, she couldn't wait to jump it."
Won then got up to her face.
Her swiped his finger around her amazing sharp face, that was the perfect shape. He gazed at her deep yellow eyes, and ran his hair down her silk like hair.
Won said, "You truly are beautiful, and very well proportioned. I could lose myself in your eyes, and perhaps even let you go, letting go of dreams and desire just to live with you."
Ji Yao spat out, "Am I willing? I don't even know what you look like."
Won swept his hat off, and a stunningly beautiful man with long black hair came into view.
Ji Yao the vixen even produced a flush.
Won said, "Alas, the heart is like a pond reflecting the moon, it is all an illusion."
Won swiped a dagger across her throat as she fell lifelessly to the ground.
Won proceeded to take her storage ring.
[Ding... Ji Yao killed: 1000 exp, Cultivation technique: Wonders of maidenhood, Body Cultivation technique: 10,000 faces change, skill: Lust. Item: Ji Tiandao's love letter, Lin Shan's aphrodisiac medicines, 3,000,000 gold, Fan of Demonic Beauty, Jade talisman (Love Heart Court High madam qi).]
Won smirked, and tossed one last glance and sighed.
Ozaris asked, "Your Majesty what is the matter?"
Won complained, "I've removed a beauty from the face of the world, it is a sorrowful day. I have only recently discovered the greatness Women have toward men. Women by themselves can be powerful, but to conquer men so thoroughly, I've been given insight. Yet for a rare beauty to die, my, my. How saddening."
Won spent a few bits of Mana and a flame engulfed Ji Yao.
Won prayed for her.
Ozaris said, "Your majesty what are you doing?"
Won said, "Praying for her. Wishing her a good next life full of fortune."
Ozaris looked befuddled.
Won tossed a glance as he finished praying and said, "It's simple."
Won walked away, "I don't have a soul capturing technique to prevent my enemies being reborn and then coming after me, so all I can do is pray and hope our Karma is severed. Imagine she comes back as a resentful ghost or a bewitching ghost? I'd feel too bad, and also scared."
...
Won was a bit away from the Shu capital, Won was in a carriage musing over the information he had.
"There are Three potential Empires I have a chance to conquer. Two low level empires and one mid leveled one. The Sleeping Dragon empire under the Lee family, The Peng empire under the Ji Family, and the Ito Empire under the Ito Royal family. The Ito Empire is the only mid leveled empire I can have some confidence to Conquer."
Won continued, "In terms of potential development, The Sleeping Dragon empire had the least ability considering it's location and allies and enemies. The Ji family would be the easiest, but they have two children in a very high headed Orthodox sect. It isn't wise to go there. Ito Empire although a mid tier empire it is facing problems with it's neighboring nation's, furthermore the royal family is trying to bring as many talented individuals into their court. Additionally considering the Empires mines and farm land, development is very good."
Won stood up and said, "That's why let us Conquer the Ito Empire!"
