Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance Chapter 99 Talking With The Sect Master

Chapter 99 Talking With The Sect Master

After the crowd just sat there in disbelief from what just happened, murmurs began to spread until the entire crowd went into an uproar.
"What was that?! I barely saw anything before Elder Bridget was on the ground being choked out by that Mira girl! I've never seen anything like it! Though I wish the fight could've lasted longer so we could get a better idea of how skilled she really is!"
"That girl is so scary! I've never heard a girl sound so scary and domineering before! Do I really have to take a class with her as the teacher?!"
"What amazing skill! To be able to take down an Elder in one move! Even if her cultivation base was lowered and she didn't use any of her Sword Arts, it's still impressive! Maybe I'll have to give this a shot!"
The girls in the audience had many different viewpoints as some of them wanted to learn more, some found Mira to be too scary and vulgar, while others didn't really know what to think. But there was one person watching everything unfold that could only smile as she found this girl known as Mira, more and more interesting. This person was none other than the Sect Master.
"Interesting… Mira, what else are you going to show me?" She muttered and then left. Elder Kendra then spoke to the audience.
"As you can see, she is incredibly skilled and we wanted her to teach you all some of this as well. I also expect you all to be here in 2 days. This is for your own good so you all may survive and live happily. Even though she's a little vulgar, she's a good teacher. She's been training another one of our disciples before she entered the Sect and she was able to make it to Core Disciple with her results in the Entrance Exam. If this isn't enough to prove her skills and ability, then I don't know what is." Elder Kendra announces and the rest of the disciples fell silent while widening their eyes. They started to have a different view of Mira with that one statement.

Mira walked away and started going towards the Cultivation Caves. Maria seemed to catch up with her after she watched the 2 extremely short matches.
"Good job, Mira! And see, I told you that you'd be able to get what you want!" Maria said as she already knew what request she made Elder Bridget fulfill. She just nodded and continued walking. Soon they made it to the Cultivation Cave and Maria went in with her. It was a new week, so she had another 16 hours. Elder Sue greeted them, they both showed their tokens and walked into a cave to cultivate.
8 hours later they both walked out and went to their residence. Mira could see Dominique still eating away while holding onto Vulcan and Rhydian was trying to secretly grab Vulcan away from Dominique.
Maria was about to greet them all, but they soon heard a knock on the door.
*Knock Knock*
Rhydian stopped what she was doing and immediately switched to battle mode. Mira just waved her hand to signify it's okay and went to open the door. When she opened the door, she came face to face with the most important person in the sect. Mira just stared at her for a second, determining what to do in this situation but the Sect Master spoke up first.
"Ahem. Sorry to drop in on you unexpectedly like this, but may I come in? I'd just like to have a conversation with you. But it seems that your beauty is truly otherworldly, Mira. If I wasn't so old then you might've turned me into a lesbian hehe." The Sect Master said nicely. Mira wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything Maria spoke up in a flustered voice almost like she knew what Mira was about to say.
"Sect Master!! Of course, you can come in! We'd be honored to talk with you! Please, come in!" Maria said quickly as the Sect Master just smiled and walked in. She looked around and saw a small child with blue hair holding a small, fiery, red fox in her arms. But this small fox is almost a Rank 4 Beast which greatly surprised her because the aura she felt from the fox was much greater than that of a Late-Stage Rank 3 Beast. She also noticed the small girl wasn't a cultivator. Then she heard something growling at her and felt a menacing aura. She looked over and saw a small golden wolf with blue stripes down its back growling at her while streaks of golden blue lightning shot across it. Upon further inspection, she noticed that this beast is only at the Low-Stage Rank 4, but its strength and aura could rival those several stages above it and it might even be able to fight with Rank 5 beasts! These 2 beasts were beyond normal!
She inspected the 2 beasts a bit more but didn't want to seem rude so she stopped and just found a place to sit. Dominique got curious and also went up to greet the Sect Master while putting Vulcan down.
"Sect Master? Does that mean you are in charge of this whole place? OH! My name's Dominique by the way! Thanks for letting me stay here with Mira!" Dominique made a polite bow as she greeted the Sect Master while she just patted her head.
"That's indeed what I do, but the Sect Elders put in more work than me here. My name is Jane, but you can just call me Sect Master Jane like everyone else. Do you enjoy staying with Mira?" The Sect Master asked nicely trying to learn as much about Mira as she can.
"Un! I love it! She gives me food, lets me sleep with her, answers any questions I have, teaches me about the cultivation world, and is even going to start training me as soon as I gain some more weight! I love Mira so much for taking care of me!" Dominique said innocently and sweetly. But her words stunned the Sect Master. She never expected the always cold and aloof Mira to have this side to her. But her thoughts got cut off when Mira spoke up in a cold voice.
"Child, I think you've said enough. Go to the bedroom with Vulcan and Rhydian before you say any more nonsense." Mira said in an icy voice, but Dominique just nodded her head sweetly and followed her instructions.
"Such a cute girl. I never would've expected you to be taking care of a child. You don't seem to be the mother, so how'd you end up taking care of her?" The Sect Master asked curiously and Mira always answered with brutal honesty and there was no point in hiding anything.
"She won a bet with me. I'm only upholding my end of the bargain." Mira answered promptly, but this piqued the Sect Master's interest.
"Oh? She won a bet against you? What kind of bet?" The Sect Master asked out of pure curiosity, but she never would've expected Mira's answer. Maria was now starting to sweat like crazy listening to their conversation.
"If she could withstand my full killing intent for a full minute, then I'd take care of her and train her." Mira answered nonchalantly, but the Sect Master squinted her eyes. She didn't immediately know what to say after that answer. Mira just sat back in her chair, crossed her arms and legs, and stared at the Sect Master.
"Do you know who caused the scene at the end of the tournament?" The Sect Master said in a deep voice, but Mira just nodded her head once choosing not to say anything. The Sect Master then fell into thought, but there was only one questioned that appeared in her mind.
"Are you our enemy?" The Sect Master applied some pressure which caused Mira's eyes to twitch a bit, but she didn't want to show that she was greatly affected by it so she answered calmly.
"There is no need for me to be an enemy. This might be the one place on this entire continent where I can live without a mask and can walk around freely without being chased by men. Not to mention I don't know much about the Cultivation World and need resources to get stronger. There isn't a better place for me to be since I'm so weak right now. As long as you don't piss me off and if you don't force me into something then there is no reason for me to be an enemy. I could even be one of your greatest weapons in the future." Mira said in a calm tone while starring into the eyes of the Sect Master. The Sect Master started to think more about her words and couldn't find a single thing wrong with her logic.
'It's true that if people knew how beautiful she is, then it might cause waves across the entire continent or even the world. I couldn't sense a single lie in her words and can't find any flaws in her logic. It seems that even if he might be a cruel and brutal person, she is extremely honest. This makes things better for me.' The Sect Master thought.
"I think I know everything I need to know about you. I only came over to talk to you to see what kind of person you are and if you have any ill-intentions towards the Sect. I only have one question. Who was it that released that killing intent?" The Sect Master asked as she stood up ready to leave, but Mira just smirked.
"Me."
***
The Sect Master left the building and returned to her residence, thinking about what Mira said.
"She said that it was her who released that killing intent. I find that rather unbelievable because she would've had to kill millions, possibly more to unleash something like that. If anything like that happened near here, then she'd be the number 1 most hunted person on the continent right now. And before I could ask anything else, she said that she will not be answering any more questions. Did she come from another continent? From another world? Maybe from the other side of the world barrier? No no no, it doesn't really matter at this point. All that matters is she is just a normal disciple that wants to do normal disciple things and holds no ill-intent towards the Sect." The Sect Master muttered to herself as she walked into a large building that had several Elders in it.

Mira went back to her room to find Dominique waiting for her so she can fall asleep. Mira just went into bed and sat in a lotus position to start cultivating. Dominique hugged her like usual and fell asleep. Mira cultivated through the night until it was time to go to class the next day.
Mira and Maria both stopped cultivating and walked to the classroom only to be greeted by Elder Kendra again. They waited for all 100 people to enter before the Elder started the class.
"Alright Disciples, today I will be talking about 2 things. Some of you are close to entering the Foundation Realm, so I will be talking about that a bit. The next thing I will talk about is a continuation of last week's class. I will talk about the other cities and sects that are around us."
