YIN-YANG DEVOURER

“Hahaha can you remove the stupid expression from your face” Jena mocked when she saw the shocked look on Ruvan's face after all the Supreme Elders were only below the Patriarch and Matriarch in terms of hierarchy.

“Hahaha you can't blame me… You caught me by surprise with that”

“It's normal. I know... I'm very impressive” Jena said in a haughty tone as if asking for more praise from Ruvan.

“And don't your duties as a Sect Master clash with those of being a Supreme Elder?” Ruvan asked curiously after all he was sure that both positions carried great responsibility.

"Not necessarily…"

“Almost all the Supreme Elders of the Sect have their own powers which they administer through a Sect Master they trust”

“However, due to my condition, it is safer for me to be here in my Sect than to return to the Sect where I would be under the scrutinizing eyes of the Patriarch and his people,” Jena explained.

“I understand… But I have a question. Does the Sect not fear that any of you may seek to separate fromthem? I mean, it's not too much power that is given to the Supreme Elders by leaving an entire Sect at their disposal…” Ruvan expressed his doubts after all, where the power came from was merely centralized.

“Mmm your doubts are reasonable but here things work differently…”

“First of all, the Supreme Elders depend on the Main Sect after all; it is thanks to the reputation and support of the Main Sect that they can establish our powers without major difficulties…”

“You have a clear example of this right now with me. Since it became known that I lost the support of the Thousand Desires Sect, the enemies have done nothing but prowl around like hungry wolves stalking their prey.”

“Also remember that the main objective of the subordinate Sects is to provide talented Cultivators to the main Sect…We are not only suppliers but also greatly increased the recruiting capacity of the Main Sect.”

“No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win for both sides,” Jena said with a smile after all, she liked seeing Ruvan's thoughtful expression.

“It makes a lot of sense” Ruvan had to admit after thinking about it carefully. If the influence of the Supreme Elders grew in other regions naturally so would the influence of the Main Sect that they represents.

'In the Empire of Vylas everything works so differently' Ruvan couldn't help but think with a smile as he remembered the strict social class system that existed in the Empire where his family was located.

“Now that you have understood a little about how things work around here, it is time for us to clarify a few points”

“As you can see, the situation in the Sect is very delicate and therefore mine too. If you want to survive you must do your part…”

“I know Mei has high hopes for you so I hope you can help me deal with certain problems that have arisen lately…” Jena said with a sly tone. The main moment had finally arrived.

"What do you need?"

“Mmm straight to the point… I like it”

“Supreme Elder Clayton's influence over the disciples has only increased… He currently has the majority of the core disciples under his power and this number will only increase. The same goes for the Elders of the Council and the disciples of the inner and outer courtyard.”

“That's why I need you to help me take down the disciples who are under their influence while I take care of the Elders. However, we must do it slowly and discreetly to avoid attracting the attention of Clayton and naturally Davos too” Jena said with a serious look.

“Mmm I understand… I need you to give me a list with the names of the disciples you want me to disappear” Ruvan said in a calm tone. The until recently smiling Young Man had disappeared, leaving in his place a man ready to murder anyone who stood in his way.

'Mmm this boy is certainly not an easy thing...'

'It seems like Mei got it right this time... Only someone like that can be able to defeat Davos' Jena thought to herself.

"Well... Now that we've cleared that up, I'd like to talk about your cultivation method…" Jena said with a discerning look.

'Shit... Does she know? Did my Master tell her?’ thought Ruvan, who unconsciously reached out to a life-saving treasure that his grandfather had given him.

"Easy boy…"

“If you're wondering how I known this information you just have to remember that I come from the same Sect as your Master” Jena said with a calm smile.

Ruvan calmed down a little but still remained alert.

“When Mei managed to gain the inheritance of the Sect Founder, she emerged as a true phoenix… Her sights and objectives were set on finding the heir to the legacy of the legendary Palace Master,” Jena said with a smile. From a very young age they had been best friends so it was natural that Xiong Mei told Jena about what she had learned inside the tomb of Azkabar's wife.

“Mei told me a little about the Devourer Art when I was young… Although she was very vague in the details, I was quickly able to infer that it was an evil technique” Jena said with a casual tone as she got up from the couch to see the view of her Sect.

“Why are you telling me all this…?” Ruvan asked.

“You know the risk in this part of the world if you are found cultivating an evil technique, right?”

“If… If it is discovered that a cultivator practicing any evil or demonic technique will be persecuted by all the Righteous Sects that exist until he is finally killed” Ruvan said dryly.

‘I remember that even in a place as far away as Marxus, a group of cultivators came to hunt down an evil cultivator who was hiding in a small village…’

'The simple fact that they went to hunt him in a place as desolate as Marxus already says a lot of things,' Ruvan thought to himself as he waited for Jena to continue with what she had in mind.

“I am willing to help you not only with your Dual Cultivation but also with your ‘secret technique’”

"But instead…"

'Here it comes then... Let's see what are you looking for' Ruvan thought with a smile.

“I want you to let me be the heir to the legacy of one of the wives of Azkabar” Jena said with a defiant tone. Basically she was looking for power. Power to not only for her but also for her sect.

Ruvan said nothing and remained thoughtful for several minutes weighing the pros and cons of accepting Jena's proposal.

“We're both in the same boat now… No matter how you look at it, it's not a bad deal,” Jena said with a smile.

“I am willing but only on one condition…” Ruvan said with a serious look.

"And which one is it?" Jena asked with a raised eyebrow after all she didn't expect Ruvan to ask her for something in return.

“In exchange for giving you access to the inheritance... You must become my wife”

“It's that or no deal” Ruvan said with a serious look that made it clear that he was not willing to negotiate.

“…” Jena
