Catching the person it was revealed that they were much thinner and younger then the other beastly cultivators
"Oh? What do we have here? A little rat caught by a cat? Maybe I should just eat you as I don't really need to know what you were doing-" I said as I was cut off
"Nope I'll tell you everything just don't kill me!" The person said as they raised their hands in a pleasing motion
Only for them to take out a dagger from their sleeve and try and stab the arm that held them
*Clang!*
The blade snapped as it tried to pierce my flesh
At this I grabbed his hand and twisted it back snapping their wrist
"Agh!"
I didn't stop as I continued down the arm breaking the bone over and over till it was dust
"Please I'll tell you all I know-" the scout tried to say before I began in the other arm
Covering their mouth their screams were muffled
"I've come from the Tiger Slayer Sect!" The scout managed to blurt out
"We came to stop the advancement of the orthodox sects when we saw you guys building a base here!" He said
"Why did you attack us then?" I asked
"Because we thought you were a part of the orthodox alliance" the scout said calming down
"Where is the Tiger Slayer sect?" I asked
"Other side of the continent" He responded
'Hmm as the front line is more towards the orthodox sects border they must have been losing till recently' I thought
As I had no more use for them I quickly decapitated the scout and dragged the body back to the sect
"Master where hve you been-" Jeong asked before he saw the body in my hand
"I'm sorry we let someone get away, so that you had to dirty your hands with them" Jeong said kneeling
"You need better senses" I responded simply
"Tomorrow I'm going to give you and your junior brother a mission" I said as we walked back to the main hall
"Yes master" He bowed before he left to check on the food being brought in
Returning to my temporary room I continued to practice
******
The night had passed and the shining sun came up
I had managed to get the lightning to go 10 inches from my fingers while aiming for the air
Then I heard a knock on the door
"Master we are here for your orders" I heard Jeong say
"You both are to scout out the Tiger Slayer sect and determine wether to destroy them or recruit them"I said
"Uh how do we know?" Jeong asked
Facepalming I answered
"Look for reasons that they might want to betray their leaders, reasons they might want to see the world burn. That type of thing" I told him
As I finished they left immediately
******
Days had passed, no attacks had happened and my workers kept going out to the battlefield to retrieve the corpses and their possessions
The main hall was finished and they started work on the outer wall
It was a mile from the main hall leading it to require a lot of wood so they only just started on marking where it would be
Then I heard a knock and heard a familiar voice
"Master we completed our mission"
