Looks like I'll be a lot busy from now on. Good thing I got to the Demon stage of cultivation before I took in the prince of the Dark Fog Sect and started my revenge. Now, I am part of the Jianxu Imperial Council. They say it's for the stronger protection of the region, but I believe it's a plan for them to keep an eye on me—a teenager who uses the forbidden demonic cultivation, got to the demon stage, and rose a sect from a slave ground to one of the greatest in Jianxu in less than a year. Of course they want to watch over me.
I hope they won't have a meeting soon because I don't have the time to deal with those old hags. Now the whole of Jianxu is talking about how I killed five thousand cultivators. Why didn't they talk about Lu-Min? Now they are making me sound like a muscular monster. I need to prevent his attacks... he already made the council to have their eyes on me and made the Dark Fog Sect attack me. He has already made his first move to execute me...... . . . Gu-Chengli, it's time for my revenge.

In the Mystic Mountain Sect
Gu-Chengli's Court
(Gu-Chengli speaking) "Aaah, how did that bastard manage to get this powerful? Now he's messing up my plans. No, I have to get rid of him. How could that stupid prince boy use only five thousand cultivators to take over a sect? This Lu-Hanzhou is now a real threat. I have to take care of him if I want to take over the Jianxu... no, if I want to take over the empire. I am going to use the council to deal with him."
Xiaoyan immediately rushed into my office angrily and slammed her hands on my table.
"I agreed to marry you so you don't do anything to the Blue Moon Sect or its members, so stay away from Hanzhou!" she said with rage.
"Hmh... Ha, ha, ha! You filthy poor thing, how dare you barge into my office!" I said as I slammed her head on the wall. "Agreement? Don't think of yourself as my equal, you slave. Now, for barging into my office, I have a gift for you," I said as I [had] my way with my fingers on her bare thighs.
She got angry and tried to use her love art on me, but ended up zapping herself and fell to the ground. I raised her up with her neck, choking her and said to her, "Don't bother using your powers on me. With this collar on, you can't use your powers until I want you to. Now listen: a higher-up from the Jianxu Council is coming to help me deal with that Lu boy, and you are gonna have to play an important role," I said, squeezing her breast.
"Make sure you keep him company, you slut!" I said and dropped her on the ground and left."Lu-Hanzhou, no one can save you from me..."

I was in the demonic realm cultivating when I heard a loud voice calling from the earthly realm. I went back to check what it was and saw a messenger in my cultivation room.
"How dare you step in here!" I said to the messenger.
"My deepest apologies, my lord. I looked everywhere for Master Lu-Min and found out he was in the Lu-Temple, and I can't go to him, so I had to come inform you," he said.
I told him to tell me what the problem was, then he said a man from the Fog Forest Sect was approaching the main gate alone.
I rushed to the main gate to see what the visit was about—was he one of Chengli's plots? The gatekeepers opened the gate, and there was just one man standing. He walked up to me and said, "Greetings, my lord. I am Prince Mu-Shibai and Vice Lord of the Fog Forest Sect. I would like to have a word with you," and then he just walked in.
I took him to my court to have our chat. I could have asked him if he wanted some tea, but he looked so cautious.
He told me to ask the guards to leave since what he has to say is private. My guards were suspicious of him, but I still asked them to leave. He then sealed the room with qi to prevent voices and sounds from escaping. I asked him why he was here, and then he said... that he knows my plan.
I told him to get to the point, and then he said, "After some research, I found out that your main plan is to conquer the Jianxu. Am I right?"
What? How did he know? I never showed any signs about it. I made it look as if my plan was my revenge.
"You know, you can't conquer anything without allies, mostly when you are trying to deal with... Gu-Chengli?" he said with a notorious look on his face. This guy is starting to get interesting.
"So what do you want?" I asked him, and then he said, "Let's conquer the Jianxu together and unite our sects. Of course, you will be in charge."
Is this guy serious? For him to go this far, he obviously is not joking. I then replied to him, "Thanks a lot for the offer, but I'd rather conquer it on my own and deal with whoever comes in my way."
"Ha, ha, I knew you would say that. Fine then, my sect is yours, and I'll provide all the help you need in your war," he said with a warmer expression.
"Who the hell are you trying to fool? Your dad works for Gu-Chengli, so how the hell do you expect me to believe all that crap?" I said to him with a little anger in my speech.
The atmosphere changed immediately, and a bright aura surrounded Mu-Shibai. He then stared at me with a weird smile and said, "Then I'll just have to kill Father and take the sect. Easy!".Then the atmosphere became normal again.
"Hey Hanzhou, can you take me to an empty field? I want to show you something," he said.
This guy was becoming even more suspicious. I agreed and took him to a remote field.
"So, here is the empty field like you asked!" I said to the weirdo.
"Hanzhou, you should understand that my sect is very important to me, and I can't just lead it to danger. So I want to know how strong the man I am giving my sect to really is, okay?" . . . . . .
