Chapter 275: Plan

In an inn somewhere in the City just beneath the True Devil Academy was a man writing a simple letter. The letter contained words that go, "The plan is proceeding nicely, we will be able to get them to join us if I am to continue with this."

The man then folded the paper and had it be carried by a Jinx Sparrow to be carried to the destination he wants it to go to. The man then stood up and a man appeared out of nowhere to kneel before him on one knee.

The just-arrived man lowered his head and began making the report, "An envoy had come to the Gates of the Academy, Master Xie San (Three)."

Xie San turned around and nodded his head before commenting, "They have finally opened their gates for me. It is earlier than what I had anticipated but they must be feeling the pressure of the Son of Heaven so they moved so quickly."

Xie San, the third disciple of Master Black had been in the city run by the True Devil Academy for the past two years trying to negotiate with them. He had been wanting to pull the academy to the side of the Xie Clan but the results were all the same.

Only now did the True Devil Academy had showed interest that they began to make their moves, [The Devil's Cavern will be explored by Senior Xie Er and Xie Si, I need to finish this so I can meet with them and find the Devil's Horns faster.]

He moved out of the inn and hurried along to the Gates of the True Devil Academy to meet Elder/Envoy they sent out to meet with him. He saw the envoy standing in a dignified manner and then smiled, [They finally crack.]

The one in front of them was the infamous Grand Elder Cishan (Benevolent). He was one of the few Devil cultivators who practice it for the sake of enlightenment. Many forms of practice had been created in honor of the Devil Arts since long ago, but for the past hundred thousand years did the Tradition of the Devil Path started.

Grand Elder Cishan was a practitioner of the said path. Xie San head up the mountain where the True Devil Academy on foot to show his courtesy and when he got to the top and met with Grand Elder Cishan face to face, he lowered his head and then said.

"I have been waiting. Did the Academy finally accept my Xie Clan's offer? We promise and swear upon the True Devil name that we will not betray the trust of the Academy and we will grant you a place when the Xie Clan rules the world."

Grand Elder Cishan turned to him and then said nothing. He snorted at Xie San and commented, "What are you doing here, arrogant Xie Clan messenger? We have warned you about going up the mountain three times, do you wish to die?"

Grand Elder Cishan said in an angered voice. He had been irritated at Xie San for the past few years now because he was too persistent on making the True Devil Academy walk the wrong path of Divinity.

He did not like seeing Xie San, he creased his brows and hen shooed him away saying, "The True Devil Academy is an Academy meant for the pursuit of the Devil path amidst the beauty and harmony of this world. Devils exist only to give out challenges not to make people suffer and the plans of your Clan, it will surely doom many people."

Grand Elder Cishan said in disgust he went ahead and ignored Xie San who had been feeling confused about what truly is happening. Xie San processed everything and then finally understood his words, he blurted out saying, "Do not be prideful Grand Elder Cishan, just let me in and let me talk to the Headmaster already. There is no one else who will enter the academy so you are just wasting your time."

However, a voice then echoed from high above then to his ears, "Speak not of your blasphemous words, a heretic of darkness. The Devil Path you wish to create is not that of harmony but destruction, stop trying to get the Academy in on this. Is this what the great Xie Clan teaches their young?"

A man dressed in black robes and a blue dragon mask appeared from out nowhere to lecture Xie San. The man heard him boast of his strength and caused him to retaliate with his own words.

Xie San raised his head and saw two people flying overhead. One was a man wearing a dragon mask and the other was a woman wearing a red phoenix mask. She was silent in comparison to the man speaking.

Xie San heard him ridicule the Clan and himself, he became angry and his cultivation of half-step Celestial Emperor made him brandish the sword he had been given towards the one who speaks ill of his 'origin'.

He wanted to scream a line that resembles "Suffer from your words" but then, the man in the dragon mask raised two of his fingers and calmly grabbed the edge of the sword and then had it stop in its direction.

Xie San was obviously shocked to see someone of his caliber that it made him jump back. The masked man did not chase after him and threw the sword used against him back to Xie San saying, "Leave this place, killing a Devil like yourself is going to be a bother, I wish not dirty my hands."

Xier San heard his insulting words and his anger finally peaked. His body temperature rose and a set of a skin-like membrane of wings appeared on his back, "Yyou, Grand Elder Cishan, do you know what I am? I am a True Devil, what are you doing not doing anything when I am dealing with an enemy? Did you not want to meet with a Devil before?"

Grand Elder Cishan saw him do this and shook his head saying, "You may be a Devil, but" He could not finish his words as the masked man interjected, "You are just a man trying to become a devil."

A six-winged Devil appeared from out of nowhere and the aura of magnificence scattered throughout the entire mountain peak and as Xie San saw this, he knew that he had met someone above him and he was brought to his knees even before understanding what was happening.

"Iimimpossible, another True Devil King!?" he was in disbelief.

The masked devil only responded with, "There is not another, I am the only TRUE Devil here. And as for your master, he is nothing but a fraud."

The masked Devil then proceeded to give Xie San a punch on the abdomen and sent him flying, those with Xie San lost the ability to move but with Wang Ling words of "Leave, and return to the Xie Clan, tell your master, stop pretending what he is not."

The men of the Xie Clan left, the masked Devil then raised his hand and motioned a few twist of his wrist for someone to see. The masked Devil then descended from above and greeted Grand Elder Cisha and with a bow, he said, "Le us talk about the future of the Realm, shall we?"
