"Sister Miao it is not that we are heartless but you have offended the cultivation world and your blood come from the devil clan, harbinger of disaster, and only by sacrificing you can the world be saved." came the sweet sticky and self righteous voice of Yun Rong the most celebrated cultivation genius of the lower cultivation world.
That said she looked at her with disdain, Shen Miao watched with cold eyes at the people surrounding her in this secret realm, they all have attacked her by surprise and tied her to this sacrificing altar in the secret realm, Shen Miao even claimed that she had devil's blood flowing in her veins.
Shen Miao gave a self desecrating laugh,' Ha to think, it was her very blood that had saved this hypocritical women from dying and it was her very blood on which she had been creating those heaven defying pills, and became an acclaimed alchemist world wide.'
'If not for her fortuitous encounters that she willingly shared with Yun Rong and these people will they be here stabbing her in the back, ultimately it all came to her lack of foresightedness that brought this death calamity to her.'
"You all should be ashamed of your actions, this is morality, righteousness and saving the world in your eyes? but in my eyes you all are fools, being used as tools by this women who appears to be kind but has the blackest heart present here, all my act of gratitude and kindness have been fed to dogs." spoke Shen Miao while blood flowed from her jade like face.
Yun Rong stared at the almost celestial like face of Shen Miao," Stop wasting your breath, today i will free the world of the scourge like you." with that she plunged her sword deep in her heart, blood gushed out like fountain from her body and soon she felt limp her consciousness slowly fading.
Yun Rong and group left the secret Altar, where Shen Miao was left alone to die, unbeknown to anyone as the blood reached the center of the spiral formation on the altar the clear stone hanging above the altar shone with a dazzling golden light.

Shen Miao woke up with a splitting headache, with clamor and voices around her, she found herself in the selection hall of sect selection, seeing the familiar seen of her previous life she was shocked but after observing for a while she realized this was not a dream.
It looks like she had been reborn to the day when she went to watch the sect selection, she had put a small stall where she used to sell some spiritual items, scraps and herbs she used to pick from random sellers, black market and the mountain, the stall was her means of livelihood as she was an orphan and had no one to look after.
Shen Miao was naturally gifted at certain things, she could always feel spiritual affinity to the treasures of heaven and earth as if she had a natural affinity to them, and this loop hole was exploited by various people of different sect.
Yun Rong particularly went as far as giving her the title of the adopted daughter of the Yun Family and they later exploited her, and she being a fool she was for the fake familial affection did there bidding without questioning the intent of the other party.
Now standing here at the time when Sect Selection was still going on and she had not followed Yun Rong, any way with she had a congenial root problem and her possessed multiple roots, hence it was difficult for her to enter any sect, no sect wanted to give her an olive branch, it was only when she showed a rare talent in the coming month with her discerning eye that she caught Yun Rong eye and she pulled strings to have her admitted to the Celestial Sword Sect as an outer sect disciple.
"Yun Rong, heavenly Fire spiritual root, selected by Elder Kang Wang as direct disciple of Celestial Sword Sect." came the booming voice of the examiner, as usual even in this life she chose the celestial sword sect, the guarding beast of the Celestial Sword Sect was a rare seven tailed fire fox, it has various treasures which catered to cultivation of fire spiritual root and Yun Rong went to this sect especially to cultivate the rare neither Fire Cultivation technique which was a rare high level fire technique.
Slowly the names of the top geniuses were announced one by one, then those with mediocre talent were chosen by the sect, it was only after everyone was chosen and few remained that Shen Miao thought to leave, anyways in this life she had no intention of going along with Yun Rong to the Celestial Sword Sect.
"Fellow Daoist, have you been selected to any sect yet?" came a very light crisp voice just as she turned around, looking around she found a very handsome face with an exquisite bone structure, sharp nose and beautifully carved eyes looking at her, however what shocked her was that the eyes of the person were void of any light as if his cornea were shrouded by an impenetrable mist.
'This person by blind!' Shen Miao was shocked she has rarely met a cultivator who was blind, because usually when meridians get cleared and marrow is formed to circulate the essence of heaven and earth any form of disability usually gets cleared, but this person in front of her even if blind probably had very keen perception that even without eyes, he perceive things better.
"No, brother as you can see no sect would dare to take me in." spoke Shen Miao with a mocking smile, for her this was not really anything of issue, if she wanted to be powerful she was sure there were numerous ways other then joining a sect.
Perceiving what the little girl in front of him was thing Yu Baiji spoke," Its better to join a sect even if its a small sect, being a lone cultivator is not easy in the cultivation world, at the very least you will have some backing, also you will have access to the resources, cultivation manuals and will also get chance to enter secret realms through sect passes."
"If you are interested, you can Join our Profound Heaven Sect, we are a very small sect and we look after each other like family." spoke Yu Baiji very sincerely.
