A Demon's Journey

Chapter 395 - Corruption

Erica's husband was easily corrupted after he was shown a vision of where he would rule the Black Lake Sect. His words would hold greater value than his wife.

This had always been a source of dishonor for Erica's husband. Even though he was the man of the house, he was weaker than his wife. His words held less weight than that of his wife.

In fact, he couldn't even decide anything in the house. People would come to strike a conversation with him so that he could help them speak some good words about them to his wife.

This had always angered him internally. And today, he felt greatly comforted as he saw this vision.

The two elders who were initiating the rebellion had a devilish smile as they continued to fill his ears with their words.

Erica's husband was completely engrossed as he listened to them. He made up his mind to support them however he could.

Thus, this rebellious movement started gaining some pace and power. This faction was growing strong rather quickly due to the support from Erica's husband.

He was aware of many secret cultivation techniques, resources, and some other secrets.

Even these two elders who began this rebellious movement were startled to hear many secrets. They never imagined that corrupting Erica's husband would bring so many gifts.

Now, they had already succeeded in creating a large rebellious faction within the Black Lake Sect.

It was so large that even if Erica found out about it, she couldn't stop it at this point.

However, the situation remained stagnant. Erica couldn't find all the individuals involved in this rebellion, and she couldn't just initiate a mass slaughter for no reason.

Meanwhile, the rebellious movement also lost pace as they realized that they didn't have the power to force Erica to accept their decision.

Erica was a 6 Star Warrior. She could easily kill them all if they dared to go against her. Thus, they required a way to do with her strength.

Some radicals even felt that her death was necessary for the Black Lake Sect's future development.

Her death would greatly affect the Black Lake Sect, but they were confident in rising to their previous state just as quickly.

Each one had a large number of connections, and a few of them were even in contact with the Royal Princes.

Thus, they were confident that the Black Lake Sect could rise just as quickly under their leadership. However, the first step remained, and that was to deal with Erica.

Naturally, some individuals felt that killing Erica wasn't necessary. They wanted to hold a proper discussion with Erica and make her accept their reasoning. They felt that Erica's life would only be greatly useful for the Black Lake Sect.

However, they had to create a situation where Erica would be forced to listen to them.

For that reason, this rebellious faction contacted the Night Mountain Sect.

The Black Lake Sect and the Night Mountain Sect already had many grudges between them. And now, the elders of the Black Lake Sect had presented a great plan with which the Night Mountain Sect would have a method of dealing with Erica.

The Night Mountain Sect has always been on the losing end of their past confrontations because of Erica's power. They were already looking for an opportunity to deal with Erica.

And now, the Night Mountain Sect were suddenly presented with this offer. They immediately made up their mind to grasp this opportunity.

They began to concoct a plan to initiate this battle between the Black Lake Sect and the Night Mountain Sect.

In this battle, the Night Mountain Sect had one objective. To capture Erica's daughter, Christina. If they capture Christina, they could force Erica to listen to them.

The rebellious elders in the Black Lake Sect also wanted this to happen for the same reason.

However, the Night Mountain Sect wasn't planning to completely honor their deal with these elders. They had their own plans when they grasped this opportunity.

On the surface, they stated how they would let these elders decide what they should do with Erica in return for a large sum and some secret techniques.

The rebellious elders of the Black Lake Sect were satisfied with this price. In return, they would have Erica under their control.

However, the Night Mountain Sect was planning to kill Erica and as many individuals of the Black Lake Sect as possible.

There was a team of warriors who required the blood of the humans to cultivate their Ardor. Their cultivation realm had stagnated because they couldn't begin a massacre just everywhere. If the Royal Family found out about those massacres, the Night Mountain Sect would face the fury of the Monarch!

Thus, this group of warriors wouldn't just show themselves unless the Night Mountain Sect wanted to massacre a large group.

In reality, this team of Night Mountain Sect had another secret that forced them to stay underground.

Thus, the Night Mountain Sect hadn't released them in this battle against the Black Lake Sect.

At this moment, Azaroth was walking around the Black Lake Sec while using his stealth technique.

He was quite serious right now and was sure that even Erica couldn't sense his presence. Azaroth could sense her presence, and she hadn't displayed any suspicious movements after he entered her range.

Thus, he was sure she couldn't sense his presence. Azaroth was observing the various elders of this Black Lake Sect.

Three of them were having a private meeting in a particular tent. Azaroth stood on a tree branch, waiting for the meeting to conclude.

Once two of the elders left that tent, Azaroth immediately moved and stealthily entered the tent from the back.

When the elder turned to that side, he was shocked to see Azaroth. He recognized Azaroth immediately as he had seen Azaroth during the meeting.

Azaroth didn't give him a chance to scream as he took two steps forwards and covered his mouth.

"Soul Reading Technique!"

Azaroth immediately used that technique as the elder's body suddenly went limp in his arms.

The man fell unconscious as Azaroth saw all the memories of this man from his perspective.

Azaroth immediately saw nearly 70 years' worth of memories in a few seconds. However, he quickly extracted useful information and found out many things.

He discovered this rebellion and had a wretched smile on his handsome face.

'As I expected, the Black Lake Sect has many traitors. These individuals have a rather large ambition. But they are quite stupid.'

'Why would the Night Mountain Sect let them live after they deal with Erica? It's Erica's presence that's preventing the Night Mountain Sect from launching an all-out slaughter on the Black Lake Sect.'

'Erica's husband is also a stupid man. He believes he is the leader of this rebellious movement when in reality, everything is controlled by the two elders on his side.'

'To make Erica fall into their trap, the Night Mountain Sect needs to have Christina in their grasps. However, they hadn't yet made their move towards her. It seems they want to conceal their intention that their true target in this battle is Christina. A wise decision on their part.'

'However, the patience of the Night Mountain Sect must be ending. They should make their move soon.'

A smirk appeared on Azaroth's face as he thought 'This has gotten a lot more interesting.'
