Corrupt Creations-Chapter 230 - A Warning

"Where are we going?"

"I'll bring you to meet the other Palace Masters. We need to fully convince them first, before going to heal that person."

Seth couldn't believe he would have to participate in convincing the Palace Masters as well. He was clearly going to do a job Palace Master Yushui had to do, but he could not complain about it, just accept.

Outside of the Glazed Lake Sect territory, it was already evening.

.

At the same lake Seth and his group used as transportation to enter the private dimension, the weather was a bit peculiar and strange. There was a strange mist covering the whole area, a hazy fog that was not only mysterious but moved very fast through the environment, spreading further and further.

At the center of that mist, there was a purple mist that seemed illusive and ethereal. It stopped at the center of the lake as if it lost the track of what it was following.

From thousands and thousands of kilometers away, a woman made of purple fog opened her purple eyes.

"Hmph! Go in! No spatial laws will stop me."

The purple mist suddenly dove deeper inside the lake, reaching the bottom in a single second. It started to spread further, covering a great expanse of ground and water, forcing a hidden formation to reveal itself.

When the drawings and Skystones that constituted the formation were revealed, it started to envelop it whole and slip inside through some cracks.

Inside the Glazed Lake Sect, a purple mist secretly appeared in the skies. In a single second it was able to trace the presence of its target, but when it was about to move, instead of going, it started to move in a restless pattern.

Out of nowhere, it divided itself into two filaments of purple mist, moving towards two different areas after that. The initial speed it had was comparable to a Profound Mana peak-stage cultivator's speed.

But before it was even able to move a hundred meters from where it initially spawned, the purple mist stopped completely.

Somewhere inside the Glazed Lake Sect, Caizhi was training underwater and there was a woman by her side, supporting her training and supplying limitless energy for her.

Suddenly, the Lake Goddess eyes shone in a beautiful light blue light as she looked towards the skies.

Caizhi felt as if the whole world had come to a halt. An immense and powerful aura left from her Master's body for a brief second, targeting something far away. That single second, she felt like time had stopped flowing, leaving a fearful yet respectful impression branded inside her mind.

The purple mist was not able to move forwards, when suddenly, a blue energy suddenly appeared beside it. That blue energy was a water type elemental energy; however, it wasn't at the same time.

If you were to compare both concepts, you would find that water type elemental energy would feel ashamed before that blue energy. It was a thousand times more powerful, a thousand times more refined and at the same time it seemed to be sacred.

That blue energy enveloped the purple mist and a powerful but soundless blast happened after that, thoroughly extinguishing the mist. The entire sky shook with that almighty explosion, but no one on the whole sect noticed that.

Not a single soul heard or saw anything even though it happened right above their heads. Not even the Palace Masters or even Seth noticed that happening.

The Lake Goddess energy stopped flowing and she returned back to her peaceful state, continuing to help her disciple in her hard training. She expected that what she did would serve as a warning for that individual.

.

Inside the Main Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, a formless mist was floating in the midst of an endless paradox of purple illusions. It suddenly merged in the form of a woman as she held her shoulder.

She was not supposed to feel pain anymore, but she was feeling it, what ringed some alarm bells inside her brain.

'When did such a strong individual appear in this continent? Or was it the guardian protecting that Sect?'

Her arm had been destroyed, since it was actually that purple mist, she had sent to search for the target she wanted to find.

It was clearly a warning from the individual protecting the Glazed Lake Sect; however, even though she had just received a warning, she was not feeling dread at all. But it didn't mean she would carelessly advance forward.

The purple mist hovering through the whole place, started to converge at her position, rebuilding her a brand-new arm.

She closed her eyes and tried to concentrate on the information she was able to gather before her purple mist was destroyed.

After organizing everything, she abruptly opened her eyes and said: "There are two of them!"

Seth was quietly following Palace Master Yushui towards the meeting. They arrived before a very formal building, where those meetings usually happened. He was able to feel the powerful energy fluctuations coming from inside, meaning that there were powerful practitioners waiting for him there.

Both of them entered the building and walked through the hallway until they arrived before the meeting room. After opening the door, Palace Master Yushui entered first and Seth closely followed her.

After crossing that door, he ran into a room with ten different women staring directly at him. Those ten pairs of beautiful eyes, tried to rip off his skin and muscles to see what laid beneath, trying to discover some of the secrets of the man they saw in the Glazed Stone image screen that Palace Master Yushui showed them before.

Between those stares, he was able to pick some that had curiosity, some that had aversion and even some that were neutral.

There was only a single person missing this time. It was the Twelfth Palace Master Lan Xue. But none of the Palace Masters seemed to be puzzled by that, since she had previously told them, she would arrive a bit late.

Palace Master Yushui started the conversation: "I brought him as I said. His name is Seth and he is a cultivator from the Blazing Phoenix Sect."

"Blazing Phoenix Sect? And... Do you believe that?"

Shanhu didn't lose the chance to make Yushui lose some face.

"That doesn't matter. What matters is that he is able to do something that none of us can."

With her phrase, everyone turned silent.

"Plese don't be offended Palace Master Yushui, but how can we be sure he is really able to do that?" The person that asked, was the Ninth Palace Master, Lady Baihe. There was no malice behind her words, just genuine worry. Unfortunately, her words increased the weight above Yushui's shoulders.

Seth was able to smell the drifting sweet scent of flowers coming from her, even though she was sitting some meters away from him.

The Tenth Palace Master Shanhu took advantage of her speech and turned towards Seth while saying: "That's right! What if he is nothing but a scammer? We can't be sure he is the real deal or not, just because he did it once, right?"

Seth realized she was trying to complicate things, but he didn't say a single word, nor did he move a muscle. His heart beat and countenance didn't change, showing some of the Palace Masters, that he probably had something to rely on. He was letting Palace Master Yushui take care of this situation her way.

Yushui looked at him, seeing how composed Seth was and after some seconds, she said: "If that is the problem, then it can be easily solved."

"Hm? How are you going to solve it?"

Suddenly, Palace Master Yushui brought something out of her spatial ring. It was a bottle containing Synthetic Evergreen Poison she had acquired from Wang Lei's body when they were still inside the Ereinrith Abandoned Ruins.

With a single movement she surprised everyone, bringing the bottle towards her mouth and drinking the whole content in a single gulp. Even for her, being poisoned by a whole bottle would lead to drastic consequences.

"Ah!" The Hua Sisters stood up, almost rushing towards Yushui to help her, but Palace Master Yushui stopped them with a gesture.

The poison was already spreading through her body, making her complexion get paler with every second.

Everyone immediately looked towards Seth, since they knew what she wanted to accomplish by doing that. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

Seth admired Yushui's courage and her choice of using the Evergreen Poison. She used a poison she knew Seth could purify, since it was the same poison he had cleansed from her body before. However, instead of doing it through a certain distance, this time he had to put on a show to impress the girls and make Yushui's life easier.

He approached her and grabbed her already pale hand, from where a green light appeared.

Palace Master Yushui was caught off guard, not expecting Seth to grab her hand, since he had done it from a distance before. She didn't like being touched, since she had committed her life to pursuing the cultivation road, but she decided to bear with it this time, allowing him to do what he needed to do.

Very quicky, her complexion returned back to normal, but at the same time, she felt a mild green energy entering her body and energizing her cells thoroughly.
