After checking through all of the belongings she came across many ropes and restraining items, whips and knives belonging to the young lady.
Finally she came across a set of books and read through them calmly and her eyes coldly looked at the title of the books. "Yin absorption palm art, Yin qi art, yin palm arts. As I thought… they have begun to appear in the world once more."
In the universe there are opposing forces which are mutually opposing one another but are also compatible.
Like yin and yang within the worlds principles there is ice and fire, light and darkness but in the world there is also man and woman who were both different from each other but needed to come together and mate to ensure the survival of the human race.
Women would represent Yin while the men represent Yang, in this type of martial arts the female or male cultivates their yin or yang qi depending on their gender but somewhere down the line of history those that practiced the arts formed the yinyang sect.
The yinyang sect paired up a mail and female and set them as life and training partners as they practiced their qi art individually but also practiced a dual cultivation method to use their yin and yang qi in their bodies to mutually conflict, temper, refine and nurture each other which helped to increase their practice speed.
While some still focussed on having a pure yin or yang qi and not taking a partner it required them to remain a virgin for life to keep their yin energy pure so adaptations and sub sects were made in later years.
Eventually evil sects were born from this after further developing the art, a martial art was created using the palms of their hands to create a draining effect on their enemies body upon having contact.
The characteristic of the people who practice this art are known for the whitish veins on the back of their hand and their youthful appearance.
Those that practice this evil palm art suck the yin or yang energy from from their enemies body to help increase their yin qi or the yang qi from men to temper their own qi.
The martial artists that practice the technique mainly target young girls who are still virgins to get the best effects from the yin qi absorbed but young ladies under their thirties can also become their targets although the effects the user receives would be small unless that person practiced martial arts.
After absorbing the yin qi or many young children or young ladies the user would stop ageing and any age defects would be removed the more they used the technique.
Eventually they would be reduced to their previous self at the age between sixteen and eighteen years old and stop ageing so long as they continued to practice the technique.
The lady that was in the tent may of looked young but Ki could tell that she had been using the martial arts for some time now and she had many victims that had suffered under her hands.
She had witnessed the evil yin sects rise and their palm art close up, those with a high proficiency drain away the yin or yang in their enemies body at a fast speed the moment they grab onto their enemy and the enemy can only helplessly struggle as their body becomes visibly older at every passing moment and their hair turns grey or white.
What remains is a weak and skinny old man or woman that could be killed if a stone was thrown in their direction.
Ki patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief as she thought of the past events.
If Marilyn had been grabbed by that hand then if she did not reach her in time then it was highly likely that Marilyn would of lost her life.
Although qi wasn't aware of any evil aligned yang sect or techniques in the world she knew that just like the divine ice sect, the evil yin sect was made up primarily of females.
At first the sect was unknown because it was primarily a sect that only had one member per generation.
One master passed down the martial arts to their student after finding a talented disciple and then they have to do the same to keep the martial arts within the world.
This rule changed when the current sect master wished to change the set rules of their master and the people before them.
The sects martial arts were spread out in different places whether it was to noble ladies or people from various backgrounds but it didn't stop there.
Many rich old ladies who had lost their health, beauty and youth were then targeted for recruitment in exchange for their loyalty and support.
What followed was many cases of missing female servants within noble families or missing girls within the slums, on the streets or even targeted travellers that were killed and robbed but their daughters or wives went missing.
Many old ladies hid behind a veil concealing their up youthful appearance and took control of their family once more further solidifying their power and control and continued their wicked deeds in order to maintain their youthful appearance.
Ki had killed a couple of them in her previous life and knew that while most of them weren't highly skilled in martial arts their growth speed could rival the blood sects qi art and the most dangerous part about them was when they grab ahold of someone.
Just like the blood sect who had do be dismembered to stop them from attacking, the best way to deal with the evil yin sect people was to cut off their hands.
If they are damaged and there is a female close by they would immediately grab the closest female near them in order to heal from their wounds and restore their energy.
The only way to stop them from harming others and healing from any wounds done to them was to stop them from having the ability to use the yin absorption palm art.
Ki kept the books within her possession and spoke. "It's best that I keep this and decide what to do with it later… this is a reminder that I need to keep a lookout for various activities within my territory for missing females and also keep checking for activity among the gangs. The biggest change from my previous life and now is that the structure of Wolfden city and various underground forces are no longer operating the same and most no longer deal with slavery and abducting people off of the streets. Now that rules have been set I can see that this change has become a hinderance to the activities of places like the blood, devil or evil yin sect so they have no choice but to look to other cities for slave trade or even resort to actions like this lady."
Most likely this lady would of laid low in ki's previous life and slowly grew her power with the help of her families guards support and her wealth.
She could get people to abduct girls from different locations or even just purchase some from various illegal slave dealers or auctions.
Now after things had changed she had been forced to get help from her guard to make connections with an unlawful mercenary group and began to act as bandits on various unlawful roads.
Although dangerous she could amass more wealth from the goods stolen and any females that were captured could be used to enhance her yin qi arts.
It was unlucky for her that it just so happened that the road they had blocked for their own evil purposes had been the one that Ki and her group were passing through.
