Fenrir’s Journey: I Shall Devour The Heavens - Chapter 62

This time, instead of having her wait outside the gates, the disciples of the Heavenly Moon Sect escorted Fenrir into the interior. She didn’t particularly care about their treatment of her but, as it was much better than having disgusting individuals eye her up, Fenrir preferred this type of behavior. Even in her previous world, it had always been her ‘duty’ to scare and intimidate people to prevent them from doing foolish things. Now, if it would stop them from acting like fools, Fenrir didn’t care if the entire world came to fear her…

The interior of the Heavenly Moon Sect was vastly different than the area outside the walls as, instead of an icy mountain, it appeared as if the Sect itself had been built on a verdant and fertile plain. The mountain continued to wind up, snaking a path that was dotted by numerous manors with vast and open courtyards. Though there were only a few thousand people residing here, Fenrir felt like the inside of the walls took up more space than the City below, a place which housed tens of millions of people. Everything was needlessly extravagant, even though things were designed to look simple and aesthetically pleasing to the eye…

Long before she reached what should have been the heart of the Heavenly Moon Sect, a massive three-tiered Palace near the peak of the mountain, Wen Xiulan, the Palace Master, had darted forward like an icy bolt of electricity, coming to a stop in front of the group escorting Fenrir inwards. She was slightly pale and it didn’t seem like she was too excited for the company as she glared at the disciples before turning to Fenrir and saying, “You must leave this place at once. I understand you are very powerful but the Sect cannot simply remain idle after you killed the previous Sect Master. The Elders will have to fight against you to uphold the honor of the Sect and, if you defeat them, it will expose the Heavenly Moon Sect to other forces on the Continent. Please, though there are some that have strayed from the noble path, many disciples of the Heavenly Moon Sect do not deserve the injustice of being slaughtered because of the actions of a single man…!”

Though she was listening to Wen Xiulan, Fenrir had already turned her eyes towards the very peak of the mountain. There was a very old man with white hair, a long white beard, and bushy eyebrows that veiled his eyes. He was far stronger than anyone that she had met in this world thus far and Fenrir was able to sense a powerful energy that had condensed within his body. She had always been sensitive to this energy but, after the evolution of her Soul, Fenrir’s perception of all the energy around her had increased greatly. There was even an illusory golden sphere that she could discern within his aura, possessing three strange dragon-like markings coiling around it…

Seeing that she was ignored, Wen Xiulan’s face furrowed into sadness and conflict since she knew the young girl before her wasn’t the one in the wrong. Turning her head, she saw what Fenrir was looking at and felt like the cold energy in her body paled in comparison to the shudder that ran through her body. She was very aware of this elderly man who, from her perspective, had an indiscernible presence while also appearing larger than the mountain he stood upon.

When the man stood up, Wen Xiulan didn’t even know exactly when he had moved before the elderly man was already standing right next to her, blue eyes blazing as he looked towards Fenrir and said, “I was wondering what calamity that Tian Gengxin brou-” As she was prone to do, Fenrir gave the man a harsh look and said, “I have come here for one reason, and it is to obtain information before I move on. If you intend to impede me, I will tear that core out of your stomach and let you experience your remaining days as the mortals so many of you Cultivators look down on…”

(A/N: I know people have been wanting more FJ, but remember that this is just a side-story that I write when I’m either bored or want to vent after writing something annoying on EPIC. If there is enough interest in the novel, I don’t mind doing a daily release but, for the time being, most of the chapters would usually come on the weekend when I have more free time to write. I don’t really want to get everyone’s hopes up that have been enjoying the novel, so I may remove it if people are bothered by the lack of updates xD…still, if it is just one chapter, that is something I can easily guarantee. Let me know in the comments section what you want~)
