The blue haired girl followed the scent she had picked up but paused when she arrived at her destination. “It should be here….”

A damp, swampy area of the forest. The cave entrance in front of her was covered in hanging moss and vines. But she still had to enter it no matter what. She had to stop the people inside before they crossed the line.

As she entered the cave, her nose wrinkled when the smell of iron overwhelmed her. She slowly made her way down the muddy, rocky slope until she reached the bottom, where it began to widen. In front of her was an altar covered in blood. There was nothing here but the hardening blood that had been sitting there for a while. “I’m too late….” 

The blue haired girl bit her lip lightly before sighing and turning around. Since she was too late, there was nothing she could do. It seemed she was too many steps behind. “I will find them… I will make them stop before they become too corrupted….”

Currently, outside the Roaring Thunder Sect, a large group of cultivators were gathering. “Did you see it?” A man asked his friend who had just arrived.

“No, what is happening?” The man’s friend asked.

“A young woman suddenly appeared and blew a massive hole through the mountain the Roaring Thunder Sect sits on. She even engraved a warning into the mountain peak.” The man directed his friend to look at the mountain peak. 

“If you dare try to touch my wifey, I will make your sect disappear! Wait, didn’t you say the person who attacked was a young woman?” The man’s friend was confused.

“Yeah, it’s called female on female. It’s a new trend as of late. They call it yuri.” The man replied.

“Sounds hot. I wondered if I could get my wife to do this yuri thing.” The man’s friend quickly turned around and ran home. That night, he had to find a new place to live after his wife kicked him out.

“Where did that little shit Kuro go!?” The young woman sat on her bed. She had just made a quick trip to the Roaring Thunder Sect to give them a warning before returning to the inn she was staying at that was near the Heavenly Cloud Sect. 

“Master, we still have not found him.” The black figure replied.

“Humph! First, you tell me not to destroy the people causing my wifey problems. Then you tell me you can’t find a bug. Why is it you can not do a lot of things?” The young woman was not very happy.

“Master, Kuro has hidden himself quite well. We are using a lot of resources to find him.” The black figure was shaking. If it angers its master anymore, would it be destroyed?

“Hmmmm. When you find him, cripple his cultivation and bring him before me. I want him to be a wedding gift to my wifey.” The young woman put her hands on her hips. She really wanted to make her wifey happy!

“Umm… Master, the Roaring Thunder Sect will know who you are talking about, right? You only left the word wifey behind when you left your message.” The black figure was really wondering if his master understood that no one but her would know who her wifey is. 

“If they do not know, then they are just idiots. If they dare to attack my wifey, I will erase them from existence!” The young woman flared up. She was about to leave to go take care of the Roaring Thunder Sect when the black figure called out to her. “Master, you will miss the show if you go to the Roaring Thunder Sect again. Remember you asked us to show you how your wifey is doing?”

“Oh? You figured out a way?” The young woman’s eyes lit up.

“We have visual on all the disciples. You should be able to pick out the one who is your wifey.” The black figure was glad this was just completed. This array was not easy to put together!

An image appeared in front of the young woman who suddenly got comfortable on the bed and stared at the images being shown to her. She looked at each one until she saw the girl covered in blood with two other girls leaning against her. Her lips curled up into a smile as she said: “It’s her! That is my wifey! Look how cute she is!”

Yuki, who was sitting there waiting for her turn to come, suddenly shivered once more. She turned and looked up into the sky but did not see anything. Wrinkling her brow, she pursed her lips and turned her attention back to the stage. “Yuki, something wrong?” Nana asked.

“Nothing. I just felt like someone was watching us.” Yuki replied. Nana looked around to see a lot of eyes being directed at them and tilted her head. She wondered if her Yuki was sick. Silvia’s lips curled up when she saw Nana’s expression. She could tell the dragon girl was a little confused.

Elder Li suddenly cleared his throat and yelled out: “The second round of the tournament will now begin! Heavenly Cloud Sect’s Yuki versus Purple Lotus Sect’s Riku!”
