Even though something like an assassination did happen, the Dragon Festival still had to move on. Silvia’s turn came quickly, and during this time, Yuki sat with her arms and legs around Nana, not wanting to let go. Anyone who even dared to look at her got a wave of killing intent and blood lust smashed into them. Nana did not find this annoying at all. She actually felt that it would not be so bad to have an assassination on her every day. This way her Yuki would hug her all day and night.

Of course, since this happened on land owned by the Holyland, Elder Li and the others overseeing the Festival did not let things slide. A massive search for the assassin was now in progress.

While this was going on, the members of the Posion Sunder Sect were all huddled in a small room on the Roaring Thunder Sect’s flying boat. The room held all twenty members and was just big enough to give each person about three feet of space to move around in. 

“Sect Leader, we can’t just sit here the entire time.” One of the elders couldn’t take this situation anymore.

“What do you want me to do!? We already decided to attack, and we did. Not we are wanted. We can not escape, and if we give ourselves up, the only thing that is waiting for us is death. Senior Li is not a man we can fight against. I am now wishing I did not take this job on.” The Poison Sunder Sect’s sect master was not very happy. He had gone out of his way to help that bastard from the Roaring Thunder Sect for too little benefit. 

The elders who wanted to also speak up all lowered their heads. It was true. The cause of all of this was the sect master himself. The elders began looking at one another before nodding their heads. They slowly moved through the crowded room and surrounded their sect master. “So in order to save our sect and not be all deemed as enemies with the Holyland, there is only one solution.”

“You guys!” The Poison Sunder Sect master quickly realized something was wrong. He wanted to quickly defend against what was to come, but there was no room. Before he could do anything, three swords stabbed into his dantian and another through his heart. 

“You! You would rather kill me than stick together as a sect!?” The Poison Sunder Sect’s sect master eyes slowly dimmed. He never thought a day would come when he would be betrayed by his own sect.

“Are you done?” A young woman’s voice came from the side, making all the elders turn and look at her. 

Senior Sister Yu looked at the elders and then at the dead old man in front of them and sighed. “It seems not all of you are stupid. Since you have killed your sect master, I will have one of you come with me as a representative and ask for forgiveness not only from my  Dragon Sect but also from the Heavenly Cloud Sect’s sect master. You will also tell everyone who put you up to this as well.” 

“Understood. I, Pipi Dong, Great Elder of the Poison Sunder Sect, will be our representative.” Pipi Dong took his sword out, cut off the old sect master’s head, and carried it with him as he walked out of the small room. It was not hard to tell who put them up to all of this. After all, they were found on the Roaring Thunder Sect’s flying boat.

Silvia stood on the stage with a young woman from another sect she had never heard of before. It was the Flaming Tiger Sect. It was a sect with mostly all fire element disciples.  They specialized in fire techniques. 

The young woman looked at Silvia and felt a little nervous. She did not wish to be turned into a bloody mist, “Um… Since I can’t forfeit, can you just not kill me? Just knock me out so I can go back to my sect….” 

“Don’t worry, I only kill those who dared to try to harm my sect. You and your sect have no issues with me. So please fight to your fullest and just think of this as a friendly spar.”  Silvia knew she could not run around killing everyone here, and she never planned to either. She only wanted to kill those who dared to target her lovers.

“Then I thank you in advance.” Truthfully, she was hoping to actually try to fight Nana since it would give her good experience. She was glad that she did not need to worry about dying.

It was just that…. Five minutes later, suspended in mid air, The girl’s cheeks were red as she looked down at Silvia. “You win….”

“Winner! Heavenly Cloud Sect’s disciple, Silvia!” Elder Li ended the match. He knew the poor girl in the air could not do anything.

Silvia yawned and scanned the crowd but did not see anything out of the ordinary. When her eyes fell on Yuki and Nana, they softened a bit before returning to normal. She nodded to elder Li before walking off the stage. Of course, she did not forget to release the girl, who was gently lowered to the ground.

The girl looked at Silvia and then at Nana and Yuki and wondered just how strong one had to be to enter the Heavenly Cloud Sect. They all seemed to be on another level.
