On a peaceful mountain village in southern border, several corpses lay mangled as their blood collected through several streams, flowing quietly. Mourning this gruesome sight clouds covered the sky with quiet yet cold wind carrying pain and despair at loss of life, mortal and gu master both lay dead.
This mountain was controlled by small size Liu clan, the clan was founded by a rank 4 peak gu master of wood path alas after 300 years latter his lineage came to end, unable to produce another rank 4 or 5 gu master their collective strength could not withstand might of beast tide lead by thousand beast king.
In a cave filled with pungent sweat smell of blood a youth of age 16 lay binded by ropes made from steal swan flesh, a rank 3 gu material. He stared at headless corpse of his mother, son of liu clan leader with A- grade aptitude and hope of whole clan but fate played cruel joke.
When he was travelling in mid size cavern 2 years ago he caught attention of a female rank 3 gu master she asked him several questions as son of clan leader he was not scared instead utilized this apportunity to build connection with a rank 3 gu master.
( Amber's POV )
'Hmmm still not enough I need to use more method as I can't forcefully influence him through wisdom path or use physical torture'
Then she brought a young girl, daughter of Liu clan leader and sister of the young gu master
"Noooooo!!! YOU DEMON !" cried young gu master, squeezing every last bit of strength to save his last remaining family member but hide of steel swan was a rare rank 3 material. It was soft and delicate to touch yet posses strength of tough steel strength, did not budge.
"Hahahaha you still can save her and your clan if you give me your vital gu lock seed gu"
"YOU!!! massacred my clan for a mere rank 1 gu, I would have sold you why you have to do this" tears of blood rolled down his eyes.
"Hmmph! shut up vile vermin and give me your lock seed gu before I shove your little sister down your throat" She planned for 2 years and now every wasted breath she spent talking to this buffon filled her with righteous rage.
As she picked child with her hand, slowly squeezing her head til eyes pop out but girl did not cry ( unable to make sound with her vocal cords and tounge ripped out )
His brother couldn't bear he knew there was no scaping as he could not live without revenge and this demon will never let someone scape with ill intention.
So he detonated his vital gu and as if waiting for this moment a blood path formation lit up sucking vitality of young master family and injecting in him. What a pity! he could not even die on his own term.
As lock seed gu denoted a mystical phenomenon happened and a new aperture consuming initial rank 2 aperture of previous owner and dead body of lock seed gu formed near young master navel with a new innate vital gu.
But young master was long gone replaced by a special otherworldly demon.
Kira opened his eyes as a throbbing pain assaulted his head, two beautiful pool of silver eyes stared at him just inches before his face he could feel this being's breath and then pungent smell of blood and death hit his nose.
'It worked all my time and resources were not wasted but Why he is freaking out and this look is not…' Amber was really confused but in a 10 breath of time thousands thoughts collided in her mind as she activated her thought full gu a rank 3 wisdom path gu it increased quantity and quality of thoughts but consumed high amount essence but her rank 3 peak silver essence with rank A grade could support her expenditure.
