The news reached the Mystic Mountain Sect of the Blue Moon Sect breaking free from slavery and of me becoming the new Lord of the sect. Even if they wanted to do something about it, they couldn't do it in the open because the soon-to-be queen of the Mystic Mountain Sect is still a member of the Blue Moon Sect. I sometimes can't believe that I did all this just for her. Li-Xiaoyun, do you even still remember me?

In the Vice Lady's chamber,
The Royal Court of the Mystic Mountains
Xiaoyun speaking. . . . . .
3 years, it took just 3 years for my whole life to turn upside down. How, how did all of this happen? I can't believe Chungli married me just to use me. If only I knew earlier that I possessed "Love Art," all this wouldn't have happened. Now, all I do is help him in hypnotizing foreign investors with my Love Art to agree to do his horrible business deals. He even hit me when I refuse. Well, I just have to keep living like this, if not he would enslave all the members of the Blue Moon Sect again. Yes, I am better off like this for the Blue Moon Sect . . . . . . No, what the heck am I saying, I want to be free too. Hanzhou, don't forget about me. Please, please come get me out of here . . . . .

Now, as the new Lord of the sect, I have a lot of cleaning and fixing to do. We had to build lots of houses for the other clans to live in and we had to trace each member to their clans since people don't have education of that after a 700 years long slavery. It would be kind of easy building the houses since everyone was determined to work and besides, building houses is a piece of cake for people who have been slaves all their lives.
The houses were important to build, but we also need an academy for cultivators. It doesn't need to be built now, but we just need land and people for it. As the sect building was going on, I made the sect's messengers pass a message to the whole sect about the academy for people from the age of twelve to thirty (twelve, really). Even if I knew I wasn't strong enough, I need to act strong to lift the spirit of the sect members.
I went to the space reserved for the Academy the next day expecting to see about four hundred people, but I met about one thousand, five hundred people. I am even surprised to see even women around. I went forward and addressed them and also told them that their first task was to check their determination. The task was to carry four planks each and use it to make a six feet tall fence around the area which is more than ten square kilometres.
I told them that if anyone did not want to do the task, he or she could leave. To my surprise, in an hour, they were done with the fence and they all came back. Huh, now it was time for business. I stood in front of them and told them:
"Listen up, the creation of this academy is for the sake of our sect, you are all here for our sect. People are out there rebuilding everything for the sake of our sect, so we have to do all we can for our sect. The outer world don't care about us, we have to care for ourselves and we have to do whatever it takes for our sect. You know what? I'm gonna tell you all a secret. I wasn't able to survive a slave without playing dirty. I wasn't able to save you all without playing dirty. I wasn't able to win the tournament of lords without playing dirty. Why should we be good when the world isn't good to us?
We should only be good to ourselves and care about ourselves. I, Lu-Hanzhou, I'm a demonic cultivator. Not only that, but I created this academy only for people to learn demonic cultivation. We need demonic cultivation to get what the world took from us. Now, who's with me?"
The crowd went silent as they stared at me. Before I knew it, they all cheered. They actually agreed. I told them about the real me and they accepted me. This, this is my sect and these are my people. I belong here and we are gonna rise. (How could you be so sure?) Since the academy was still starting, I made these people do something kind of dangerous for me.
To become a demonic cultivator when you are already a spirit cultivator, the cultivator would have to dispel all their Yin and Yan energy with Qi and it would take about three days of continuous cultivation. The students agreed to it so we had to provide enough energy grams to keep them satisfied. It made me sad to see the students struggle in pain as they dispelled their Yin and Yan energy but it was for the best.
During the meantime, I was able to get traders from all over Jiunyu to sell us tons of fake scrolls for the students' demonic cultivation and school was also getting built. I guess things are going smoothly for me.
