The thick, bubbling red energy enveloped the gold shining ball-shaped energy.

The bright golden rays were slowly being brought down by the dark red energy.

"NO! NO! HOW!?" It screamed.

Even though Zhi Rui's mind was clouded to the exterior, she could still hear The muffled scream of despair. Her blood was pumping and the pleasure on her body was flooding her senses. Remembering her issues with indulgence Zhi Rui brought her mind inside the core to be free of the body sensations.

Inside her core, the fogy ethereal energy raged like a storm.

She sent her mind outside of the core where the conflict was happening.

The vision of a golden sun being engulfed in a dark red bubbling thick ocean shined through her mind.

Anyone who saw such a scene in a book could only think it was a book about the end of times.

Images of having her own life on those two women's hand flashed in her mind. The gusto wich Silver read her crimes, the indifference on Fire-heart.

Han Lee's unexpected betrayal... She wasn't mad at the betrayal she had never trusted them or put them in any position that could influence her mood. But the feeling of being made a fool of is never pleasant.

Suddenly she felt a drastic decrease in her energy's density.

She ignored the memories and how she just suffered a defeat.

Zhi Rui, stabilizing her mind, brought her energy back to the original density.

She closed her eyes and tried to remember the general time of effect that those pink pills have.

'Less than five minutes..." Zhi Rui opened her eyes.' That orange eyed woman mentioned Pride's resources.' She thought.

While the golden sun's screams echoed, she tried to remember the faint words between Bianca and Loura.

There was nothing more than buzzing and barely coherent words.

The last thing she saw was how easy the woman retreated after knowing that she wouldn't be able to get whatever is in the consciousness...

With all the thinking, three minutes counted passed by. There was only one ray of light shining, and the screams sounded muffled as from speaking from three layers of blankets.

Zhi Rui's mind clouded after the pill but she could feel another foreign core on her body, whatever it was it was work of the level six Bianca.She couldn't afford to be cautious anymore.

She clenched her teeth and risked everything.

"Old man,let's make a deal pas me everything you own, and I'll let you live. bound by my core. If the chance ever arises, I'll let you go."

"Let me free then I'll think about it." the muffled voice came to throw the small ray of light left."

"Take the very essence of your mind. And leave the rest to be consumed by me." Zhi Rui answered. Not caring to give more information.

Either it would accept or it wouldn't and she would have to refine him without the strength of the pill. Which was nearly impossible.

The ray of light slowly disappeared, it flicked on and off.

Suddenly a very small spec of white light came out of the golden energy leaving it to be engulfed by the thick red energy.

The light almost transparent spec fluctuated in front Zhi Rui.

"Agreeing right after having your scam brushed off, you're quite the decisive old man." Zhi Rui said to the thing in front of her.

No word came out of it.

Zhi Rui smiled, a small amount of her energy came and surrounded the small thing.

"I won't allow bullshit, you're out of your armor, all my senses are on you. I know well about your situation. You're perfectly able of thought and speech."

An even smaller speck of Zhi Rui's red energy touched the transparent consciousness.

"WHOAAAAA!! YOU SLUT!"

"You're contaminated by my inner energy. IfI will it, it'll start corroding you from inside. Now you'll shut up. you missed any chance of good impression."

Zhi Rui stored it inside her core, there' no other way it can exist.

Her consciousness focused on the energy being consumed, it was a huge remnant of a soul, body cultivators usually have the toughest spirits, and he is a descendant of pride to top it off.Zhi Rui would've struggled and lost half of her own health to evolve and eat it.

But now it has no owner, now it cannot defend itself. Zhi Rui could assimilate instead of consuming.

What she was about to do is no different from what she did to raise her talent.

But now her body was already more than half transformed, the battle of both consciences wreaked havoc from inside.

Zhi Rui evoked all the remnants spirit she collected from the dead throughout the wars she had been in until now.

She could feel each fragment of spirit.

The effects of the pill passed, but the essence of the conscience separated itself from the energy. And it couldn't react. Zhi Rui gathered all the smaller spirits around the golden bright.

It was slowly being absorbed by the core. Zhi Rui concentrated all her mind on it. soon, her inner energy quality and quantity suffered a huge change and it became too strong and dense to sustain inside herself.

Zhi Rui brought the little present Bianca left for her.

A deep red core smaller than a fingernail. She didn't recognize it.

She touched it and a shock ran through all her mind.

'The parasitic lady.A spiritual bug exceedingly rare. The only people to know its appearance are those who travel through dimensions. A level three parasite that feeds on the spiritual energy. With physical contact, the link is created and it slowly drains the pray's life energy, If the user desires he can influence the person with emotions.'

Zhi Rui remained frozen. She had her own level three core but the quality of the one in her hands are too much. And even ifBianca wanted she couldn't mess with a core like this. Not even the people on this small light sect know the existence of it. That's how rare it is.

She blinked and frowned. 'But the information given is from Bianca...'

Zhi Rui went to her own core andshowed theparasite core to the flimsy transparent consciousness "Old man, tell me from what it is."

The small spec went around it.

"My name is Tianzy.This has the traits of the will leech.I read about it in one old book of mine.As long as you acquire its ability to establish akarma thread you can influence the prey or suck a mall amount of any type of energy over time, as long as it doesn't have mass."

It obediently said.

"You know a lot," Zhi Rui said.

"The barbarians, My people, once ruled a place where twenty of the empire you now live in could fit. In our library, there was a public section for rare cores and beings."

It said with obvious smug.

Zhi Rui's eyes were stern. She didn't know if it was acting like a clow to amuse her in elf protection or he was really like that. But now it was irrelevant. he got her confirmation. Ignored him and started to refine the core.

"What happened?" Blue-amethyst asked.

Sandworm's deadpan eye looked all around, it' been half an hour but the leaders did not come back, they had disappeared.

Sandworm looked atBlue-amethyst. he didn't open his mouth.

But even though Blue-amethyst is usually hotheaded, She understood his intentions clearly.

"We don't know what happened we cannot just go and take leadership there are people way stronger than us here!" She said quickly.

Sandworm frowned.

"I know this all meed with you, but you have to remain calm, and think.

I'm not talking about the whole barbarian people."

He said and looked back at the tribes who came with them. The people who Zhi Rui gathered and the people who they were seducing since the beginning.

BLue-amethyst looked and went silent.

"We won't have another chance like this." He said.

"Even if that' the case, the first to say a word shouldn't be us." She said looking ahead.

Sandworm followed her gaze.

A fat old man with partial white hair was looking all around observing everything and everyone.

Sandworm stepped back and kept his back straight.

"That man is part of one of the main families. Don't show any emotion besides confusion." He muttered.

The old man looked at sandworm and Blue-amethyst last. His eyes stayed in her for a few seconds, he nodded with a lazy smile and opened his mouth.

"Well folks, It seems our chief Alpha's had some issues. While I don't know what or howI from the A-GHHHH!"

The man's mouth burst with blood. his eyes widened, he couldn' understand what was happening. he felt warm on his chest. he looked down and panic filled his eyes he looked a the people around and swung his hand asking for help but only the sound of air passing through blood could be heard.

Sandworm saw the format of the wound and a small bloodied rock that fell by the old man's side.

immediately he looked where it came from. Hi, eyes widened.

Blue-amethyst looked followed and gasped.

People around heard and all looked in the same place.

The people from the poorer side, locals, The three big tribes . all looked at one position.

Above the library yellow golden hair shining in the moonlight flowing freely with the wind. Deep beastly green eyes evoking the most primitive chills on the spine. She was wearing a thin white robe with the wrists and ankle adorned with gold.

"Your leaders have organized my death. When the stele accepted me as the one with the purest bloodline their mind shook and they attacked me.With the protection of the stele, they were defeated and forced to run away. I'm now,with the help of the three big tribes, your Chief Alpha."

Zhi Rui threw the unconscious siblings to the side and jumped in front of the library, standing in the middle of everybody.

"For those that are against me, or don't believe my words, come and challenge me. I'll accept anyone."
