Corrupt Creations

"Something I don't want anyone knowing about? That's not possible... There is nothing like that..."

The Sanctuary Master looked at Donghai with sharp eyes and said: "We can cut that crap out. You certainly have something to do with the bloodline leakage. It seems like you aren't willing to share about that with me though. No problem, I have some ways of getting that information out from you."

After he finished saying, the ancient orb in his hand started to shine, but before it could even do anything, Donghai acted first.

Clap!

His aura exploded forward, making every single furniture inside the room shatter in a thousand pieces and scatter everywhere. Donghai was already channeling a huge quantity of Mana in one of his escaping skills and the destruction he caused was a cover for that. He knew he wasn't a match for the Sanctuary Master, that's why he would give everything into trying to escape.

However, before he could even give the first step, the entire environment turned silent. His Mana suddenly vanished and his aura diminished, disappearing right after. The pieces flying everywhere suddenly turned into dust particles, vanishing as well.

The Sanctuary Master had a smile on his face, as if he was looking to caged dog.

"There is no way you'll be able to escape from a Mana Sovereign cultivator. You would be making me into a fool if that were to happen."

The Sanctuary Master had suppressed him with his cultivation. That suppression was more like Donghai was beneath the whole ocean, unable to even move.

"Are you going to tell me? Or do we need to do it the hard way?"

"..." Chun Donghai kept silent.

"I see..."

The Sanctuary Master passed his hand over the ancient orb and a purple mist emerged from inside it. Just like what happened with Chuanli, the mist hovered in the air, going towards the target in front.

However, this time, instead of easily invading his body, it encountered resistance.

"Oh? So, you're really not willing? Very well... Proceed."

Suddenly the purple mist turned into a dark purple color, invading his body through his pores.

"Argh!"

That purple mist was an ancient power left behind by a deity, there would be no way a mortal like Donghai could resist it.

It traveled inside his body, until it reached his brain, trying to open a way inside his soul. But Donghai resisted it with all his might.

However, the pain he felt this time, was ten times greater than before.

"AAAARGH!!!"

"The more you resist, the more painful it will get."

The Sanctuary Master wasn't in a hurry, so he sealed the whole area with his Mana, creating a thin and invisible barrier around that house.

After doing that, he took a chair out from his own spatial ring, sitting down to wait for the final outcome. An outcome he already knew what it would be.

Seth descended the stairs of the Evergreen Tavern, meeting with Meihui on the first floor. His mood had improved a lot and even his countenance was vivid, with no more frowns on it.

"Good morning, mother-in-law. Hm? You don't seem that you've had a good night of sleep. Did something happen?"

Rina started to descend the stairs, but before she even made her appearance, she heard Chun Meihui's voice and instantly went back to her room after realizing what she meant.

"You youngsters are too lively. I don't recall having such a great stamina like that when I was younger."

Seth stumbled on his own feet and almost fell on the floor after hearing her words.

He scratched his cheeks and said: "I'm sorry mother-in-law. It was my fault for not building up a sound isolation barrier and making you experience a night like that."

He apologized by the trouble he caused.

"Don't worry. It is only normal a couple would do those things. It actually reminded me of the memories I had with Meiyi's father."

"Meiyi's father... How was he? Was he as handsome as me? Hehe."

Meihui rolled her eyes after hearing his boasting.

"Sigh... Her father was just like a brave and valiant warrior, always protecting us when it was needed."

Meihui words made Seth feel a painful twinge even though she didn't mean to harm him, but since Seth blamed himself for what happened with Huo Shihong, he couldn't help but bring Meiyi's situation and consider it as being his fault too.

"Other than that, he was a lovely and caring person, doting on Meiyi whenever it was possible."

Before Seth could say anything else, Meihui lowered her tone, saying something that was at the bottom of her hear.

"However, he left..."

Seth realized her sadness and asked: "Mother-in-law... Do you want to see him again?"

He sat near her, looking directly at her eyes.

"... I do."

"Alright. I will do everything I can to make both of you reunite then... And don't worry. If he doesn't give me a plausible explanation, I will beat him up and make him kneel down and apologize with you."

Meihui and Meiyi were the same. Both of them wanted to meet that man.

"Eh? There is no need for that."

"No. I'll do it for Meiyi."

Chun Meihui smiled as she realized his motives.

"You didn't tell me yet, but where are we going?" She changed the topic, trying to make their conversation a bit lighter.

"Well, it will take some days until we get there, but we are going to a very peaceful place."

"Peaceful? Is it where you live?"

"Not where I live. We are going to the Glazed Lake."

"Glazed Lake?! Isn't it one of the Higher Grounds? How are we going to get there?"

"Don't worry, we are going to easily enter that place." Seth smiled after seeing how anxious Meihui had gotten.

"Why do you say so?"

"Because I was invited as a guest. Actually, I am more than certain, that I was invited to do some kind of favor for someone; but it is better that way."

"Wait... Wasn't the Glazed Lake, the sect that only allowed women? Are you sure you will be able to enter?"

"Ahaha. Like I said, don't worry. I have a way to get in."

"A way to get in? We aren't going to invade, are we?"

"You're funny mother-in-law. No... I am an acquaintance from their Eleventh Palace Master and friends with the Lake Goddess' only disciple."

Inwardly Seth was thinking: 'Actually, we are more than just friends."
