72 Jackal Mountain Sect 2

The irregularity of the trees slowly became organized as they passed through the path made by the sect. They were as if they were just doing some normal hiking, but for the purpose of seeing something.

Ellisa smiled as they saw a number of tall pavilions behind walls. With just this, Ellisa knew that they were near and, for sure, this is what a sect looks like.

But there was still a sentiment that lingered in her mind. The structural design of the buildings was some kind of overdesign from her perspective. However, as she was not that really into talking about buildings and just overlooking stuff like this, she just shook it off from her mind.

"Is this what a sect looks like?" she asked Jake, who was just walking silently, like a behaving cat, with his hands down and stiff.

Ellisa raised her eyebrows as Jake answered her question. She pondered it at that point but didn't further ask about it.

"Yes. But not all, since there were sects that only looked like normal organizations. They were too small to be even called a sect, but we still recognize some."

"I am only asking if this is what it normally looks like." Ellisa pressed.

"Ah. No. Some places, like those owned by a merchant, sometimes have grandiose people. Their mansions look like this." Jake explained.

Ellisa just nodded as she understood some of what Jake said. Even though she thought there was some piece missing in the explanation, she was sure that it was some kind of connection to the tradition of the people.

If not, it might be from another perspective that she can't see right now.

She just sighed. Not about the topic, but about the energy she was feeling. 

The energy was starting to rampage, but even with how tremendous it was, it seemed to be defeated. 

And as Ellisa tried to assess it, she finally had an idea why the energy was so familiar. It was coming from one of his other kin's brothers.

She abruptly turned her face to Jake and said, "Stay here. I am going to rush my way, so a fight will be necessary. However, stay here. I think you don't have a chance against them." 

Jake's eyes were filled with relief. He even forgot about his pride as a cultivator, and even though he remembers it, he doesn't care anymore since he knew that Ellisa was a strong individual.

Perhaps the cultivators didn't recognize her cultivation because she was already in Emperor Stage. If not, it would be even more surprising.

Jake smiled and nodded at her. It made Ellisa feel relieved for a second.

"Thank goodness." 

Then, in the next second, she disappeared, also leaving Jake dumbfounded and in awe.

Ellisa rushed her way. While she was on it, she activated a number of magic circles, immediately taking the lives of the people around her.

Of course, those people were alarmed by her. Even those she didn't know if they were innocent or not, she didn't ignore. But, she just passed through the children who seemed not to be at the right age to die. 

Well, even though she was like that, she was some kind of person with virtue.

She flew straight to the source of the energy. And as she passed through cultivators, children were just surprised when they noticed that their seniors had died. 

While she was on it, Ellisa was also absorbing their essence. Not just that, but also the spiritual energy from them. It made her smile. It was because, looking at the current energy she had, it felt like she was halfway to her normal powers.

Well, before she 'died' and arrived here in this world, she was weakened for a reason she caused a problem to her master. It was even still lingering in her mind, the reason behind it.

At that time, Lucas was really into the Legendary Sword and was just thinking of dying. But her children, the dragons, and other familiars, don't want it. And even if he doesn't care about their sentiments, he just weakened them.

"In that way, you can follow me after you have lived your lives to the fullest. I don't have anything to pursue in this life. It's time to rest." Was what he said.

It was a heartbreaking moment for all of his familiars. And so, after he died, some of them followed and some obeyed his words. 

And now that she thinks about it, the person she was feeling right now must be similar to her. A foolish familiar who only wanted to be with their master.

In the time span of a minute, Ellisa arrived near the source of the familiar energy. And as she stood inside the tallest pavilion of the sect, every cultivator was alarmed.

Not just because she was a trespasser, but also someone with higher cultivation.

Unaware of it, Ellisa had already had her cultivation reach the middle of King Stage. Even those who were lower than her took their courage to stand before her.

"What is the purpose of your presence, esteemed senior?" One of them asked, trying to be polite to the maximum.

Ellisa, after hearing it, just smiled. It was actually a grin, but it was also a smile on her part since she was amused by how things turned out.

"Earlier, I was only called a mortal. And now, I am a senior?" she mumbled, pondering what had just really happened.

The reason she was amused by it was that she didn't know the reason behind it. Even if she persisted in her search for an answer, she was still unsure how to organize them.

However, it wasn't the business here. She's here because of a brother from other kin. And as she was just near the source, she was sure that it was someone like her.

The cultivators pondered. They didn't raise their weapons, but they were prepared to immediately draw them. But just as how things were away from their grasp, they didn't even manage to react when Ellisa moved her hands.

"Fucking fiends." Was what Ellisa said before a profound azure light covered the whole first floor of the pavilion.

In that instance, everyone couldn't bear the pressure that emanated from Ellisa. Their eyes all gawked in fear and surprise. Even if they try to reinforce themselves with spiritual energy, it all becomes useless at that point.

And after such pressure took their lives, another chunk of spiritual energy reached Ellisa and her dantian-like pool.

Her core finally merged with the spiritual energy and became one. Her core at this time was not similar to a core, but now a transparent gas-like form in a sphere.

She breathed out, then activated another magic circle, enabling her eyes to see what was just below the ground.

It will be suspecting to find experimentation in the higher floors since it is risky if the lower floor collapse. Even though there were some places that took experiments on the higher floors, her instinct was certain that it was below the ground.

And just as her guts told her, the source was from below the ground.

She sighed once more, then made a stance as if digging the ground. She gathered a tremendous amount of energy in her fingers and pointed them to the ground. In the next second, the floor collapsed, forcing her to violently dig the ground.

Everyone in the room below ground was alarmed. Even though earlier they were feeling a bit nervous about the ruckus they heard, they didn't get out of the facility. 

For that reason, they were still not done with what they were doing.

And as the floor collapsed, making a path for Ellisa, every expert in the room went on their knees. They already knew they were in danger. Their lives were at stake since the room they were in was reinforced with a strong array built by a famous array master.

Breaking into the room would already be proof that the mastermind behind the ruckus was higher than the General Spirit Realm since it was built for that purpose.

Making an array takes time. And since they don't have it because of the experimentation, they wanted the strongest array that could be built in a short amount of time, and it was the Protective Array that could withstand an attack from a General Sprit Realm cultivator.

"Holy heavens!" they all gasped.

And just as Ellisa set her foot inside the room, her eyes darted red, glaring at every person inside.

There was approximately 14 personnel. And since Ellisa didn't know about the cultivation realms, she just assessed them in her own words.

'At the 3rd stage of core...'

Ellisa breathed out, then made another pressure exude from her body and reached the spines of the personnel.

"Let me ask you one thing. Where's that energy coming from?" She asked with a cunning smile on her lips.

The personnel quivered and slowly pointed to a capsule-like object that could fit a human inside. It was glass, but the inside was covered with a light blue mist, making it hard to see what was inside.

"Open it."
