Seduce The Villainess (GL)



(Secret Headquarters Of The Crimson Demon Sect)

(Azure Snake Peak)

"Answer me," the beautiful woman calmly spoke as she lifted up her palm and gently brushed her fingers against the corners of Xu Lu's mask.

The former saintess of the Holy Sword Sect shivered as she felt as though she was facing a vicious monster.

This level of pressure and killing intent…

It was no easy feat for her to stop her body from shivering. 

Being in front of this woman was like standing in front of a hurricane or natural disaster. 

All you could do was surrender yourself to the unstoppable force of nature and pray that you would remain unharmed.

"I sought you out… because of… Jun Yang… he gave me this amulet and then…" Xu Lu's voice was shaky, but she spoke nothing but the truth.

She had the feeling that this mysterious woman would know if she told a lie.

"He sacrificed himself… so I could escape… from the underground prison… where… where I was being trapped… I owe him my life…" Xu Lu spoke solemnly.

The mysterious woman's eyes widened and for a brief moment an expression of intense sorrow flashed across her face.

She removed her palm from Xu Lu's face and the heavy pressure immediately disappeared. 

The former saintess slumped to the ground with trembling knees as blood leaked out of the wounds on her body.

The beautiful woman walked a few steps away and the turned around so that her back was facing Xu Lu directly.

"My name is Yang Xia, and I am the leader of the Crimson Demon Sect," the woman nonchalantly spoke as if discussing something as simple as the weather.

"That amulet hanging from your neck means that you have been chosen as the next successor to our clan."

There was a tinge of bitterness in Yang Xia's voice that even she herself did not notice. 

After all these years of holding out hope… her son was dead.

And she could not even take her revenge on the one who killed him because he had willingly sacrificed his life for her.

"It is a position that will attract many enemies both from within and outside of our sect," Yang Xia continued to speak with a quiet stillness.

"Are you truly prepared to turn your back on the 'righteous' side? They will never accept you again if you join us."

"I am prepared," Xu Lu spoke determinedly as she got up from the ground and dusted off her once white robes.

From the moment she was aware of the future that would befall the original Xu Lu… she had no other choice.

Her master planned on torturing and killing her while the Sect Leader was far more interested in maintained the reputation of the Holy Sword Sect than seeing justice be done.

They were all hypocrites…

Yang Xia reached into her storage ring and pulled out a heavy tome with hundreds of pages filled with ancient drawings and martial arts techniques.

She flipped through the pages before stopping towards the end of the book. She then proceeded to rip out several pages without hesitation.

"Here…" Yang Xia spoke quietly as she placed the book back in her storage ring and handed the pages over to Xu Lu.

"This is a demonic technique that only the leader and the successor to the clan can practice. It is known as the 'Heavenly Reversal Technique'."

"An extremely powerful demonic art that most would eagerly kill for the chance to practice. Just beware the side effects."

Xu Lu took the pages from her hand and glanced at the contents on the sheet. 

She saw what looked like circulatory diagrams of qi flowing in a peculiar manner through the figure's meridian gates.

Side effects?

"Don't read it now… there is no time," Yang Xia interrupted Xu Lu's reading as she snapped her fingers and the world twisted slightly.

Xu Lu barely had time to put the papers into one of the pockets of her robe before the ground beneath her feet trembled.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing inside of a cave that was illuminated by a single torch hanging from the walls.

There was a comfortable bed in the corner of the space along with a large pool of water that bubbled and hissed with steam.

In another corner of the cave was a large table covered with light snacks, refreshments, and bottles of wine.

"Where… where is this place?" Xu Lu asked in confusion as she turned to Yang Xia who was leaning against a nearby wall.

"A training room… just because you possess the amulet does not mean that there will be no challengers to your position," Yang Xia replied slowly.

"You cannot earn the respect of my clan without giving up the righteous qi flowing through your veins."

"The Heavenly Reversal Technique will convert all of your spiritual energy into demonic qi… so…this is your last chance to change your mind."

"If you wish I can take the amulet from you and send you out to a safe location. You can then live out the rest of your life in peace."

There was a moment of silence as the demonic sect leader stopped talking and Xu Lu thought carefully about her offer.

The original Xu Lu wanted to join the demon cultivators, but it did not necessarily have to be this clan.

However, there was a great advantage to joining this sect since she would be in the position of the direct successor.

There would be quite a lot of dangers associated with the position but as they say… without risk there would be no reward.

"No… I will join your clan," Xu Lu replied steadily as her eyes gleamed with determination. Yang Xia nodded her head and did not seem surprised by her choice.

"You will need to compete with those who wish to take your place from the younger generation," Yang Xia spoke with a firm air of authority in her voice.

"These fights can end in death so do not show mercy because your opponents will not do the same."

The demonic sect leader looked at the young woman with the silvery grey mask covering her face one more time and then stepped forward.

Her figure blurred and then she vanished from the cave in a thin wisp of smoke.

Xu Lu was left alone in the dimly lit cave with nothing, but the sword attached to her hip and the heavy sheets of parchment paper inside the pocket of her robe.

The former saintess let out a heavy sigh and then walked towards the pool of water. Her first instinct was to start cultivating immediately but that would be the wrong choice.

She needed to wash off all the blood from her body, take a healing pill to deal with the open wounds on her skin and try to relax.

Cultivation was about inner peace and a healthy mindset.

She had yet to train using the Heavenly Reversal Technique, but it would do no good for her to rush practising a new cultivation method.

Xu Lu reached into her storage ring and pulled out a small red pill. She popped the pill in her mouth and a warm healing current filled her body.

She then stripped off her tattered white robe revealing her naked figure that was covered in small cuts and bruises that were now rapidly beginning to heal.

Xu Lu slowly lowered her foot in the bubbling pool of water and let out a sigh of contentment as she felt the temperature.

It was warm but not too hot.

She lowered the rest of her body into the pool and slowly closed her eyes. For the foreseeable future she only had one goal in mind.

Cultivate as quickly as possible.
