After the massacre the city was filled with the whispers of vengeful spirits of the dead citizens. Only a few people survived. The emperor was saved by Yang Tianyou and he carried out a mass funeral for his fallen citizens. He left the city and settled in the neighbouring city hence the Capital of Tieguo shifted to the Yuhua Metropolis,also the home of the great Blue Snow Sect.
The massacre impacted the lives of many people .It remained a untreatable wound in many people's lives .Many lost their loved ones,others lost their businesses and the cultivation sects lost many disciples and now they had to recruit more disciples. Some sect leaders were gravely injured. Feng Yuexin lost much power and was forced to go into seclusion leaving Treasure Pavilion at the hands of her disciple.
------
Three years down the line, everything had fallen in place almost like before. The Blue Snow Sect was lively again,with hundreds of disciples roaming around, either carrying out chores or practicing swordsmanship. The disciples settled down in Yunxia Hall for their lecture on ethical values , principles and code of conduct. Blue Snow Sect was a rule centered place and every rule had its respective consequence if not followed. The disciples were excited because for the first time,the most respected Lady Bingya herself would be their teacher for the day. The young lady had come out of seclusion eight months ago and got busy updating herself with sect matters and now she had found the time to facilitate lectures.
Feng Yuexin,donned in a light blue gown,long black hair perfect tied up and adorned with hairpins,an ovate face so flawless and perfect composed of a pair of chocolate brown almond eyes with long eyelashes,a cute button nose,two beautiful moles- one under her left eye and another under her lower lip and a pair of slightly plump,delicate pink lips. She didn't need a smile to complement her beauty,her cold face was beautiful enough.
As she confidently entered the lecture hall, everyone's eyes turned to stare at her, boys gawking at her,girls envying her beauty. She walked ahead, unfazed by their stares and turned to face them. Indistinct murmurs erupted from them- some praising her beauty while some hoping she would be lenient during the lecture. The lecture went on smoothly till they were disrupted by the elegant Yang Tianyou walking in. Most people at the sect shipped them and they did look good together. Yang Tianyou's affection towards her was evident but Feng Yuexin remained unyielding to his affectionate efforts. They were the sect's potential couple.
"We've located his whereabouts,"Yang Tianyou whispered to her.
"Arrange a meeting with the sects so we can design a plan,"she instructed.
"Would you like to go out for a meal with me after the lecture?" Yang Tianyou proposed shooting his signature smile at her.
"No thanks,"she denied curtly.
"Why do you always refuse my offers? I'm not leaving till you accept,"Yang Tianyou said firmly.
"Then forgive me if I throw you out,"Feng Yuexin threatened.
"Okay I'll leave,"Yang Tianyou reluctantly walked out ,her lips forming a pout. The disciples cooed at the sight seeing how the two behaved like a couple.
Feng Yuexin resumed the lecture ignoring the suspicious glances the disciples threw at her. Many female disciples would do anything in their power to earn a date with Yang Tianyou but there she was effortlessly refusing the offer like it didn't matter at all.She was Lady Bingya after all the noble most lady at the sect,no one would match her,there was none like her and there never would be.

A few days later,the sect leaders of different sects gathered at the Blue Snow Sect. Yu Lei chaired the meeting informing them of the information they had uncovered after a while of investigation. That pattern of kids disappearing had been noticed again for the past few months. Only that time the kids were from different towns making it hard to determine the exact location of the culprit. After Hei Yue's death ,his assistant who was heavily injured went missing. Many predicted Ao Yan was responsible for it considering his grudge on his former master.
------
Over the three years ,Ao Yan had established himself taking over the leadership position at the Dark Cultivators' Guild. His sect brothers became his henchmen. Like his master,he had started training young boys sorcery to fulfill his ambition of leading the cultivation world. The orthodox sects couldn't afford to allow another massacre happening and luckily this time they had uncovered Ao Yan's location and were planning to launch an attack before things got worse. They had also advanced in more techniques to tackle the demonologists.
After getting frustrated by a bunch of weak boys not being able to get the tunes right ,Ao Yan went to his room to get rid of the ill feeling. His only way to get rid of such feelings was to fuck around. He had his own slut department where a couple of women resided and would willingly serve him whenever he was sexually frustrated. They were ones he would fuck when he was happy and they were ones he would fuck when he was angry or just frustrated. He called one of them and played with her all night satisfying his desires. In the quiet night, only the sounds of their moans and groans were hard. He was already satisfied by dawn and settled beside the equally exhausted lady to catch some sleep but the moment he shut his eyes,he heard strange noises from outside. He quickly dressed up and left the room.
His lair,his empire,his hiding place,his home had been found. The secluded large mansion that was hidden amidst a layer of miasma had been discovered. There outside was a sea of cultivators from orthodox sects.
"Overlord Ao Yan,sorry for waking you up so early,"Yang Tianyou started in a sarcastic tone.
"You didn't disturb me at all. Welcome to my humble abode,"he replied in the equally sarcastic tone, remaining unfazed by their presence.
Ao Yan wasn't prepared but he wouldn't surrender either so he had to fight.He summoned some of his well trained disciples and his two assistants. He himself flew to the rooftop with his Qin and began playing mind disturbing tunes which affected the disciples from orthodox sects. They relentlessly shook their heads in attempt to get rid of the discomfort but the effect was too much. Those unaffected continued fighting and Ao Yan continued playing the tune more fiercely this time. His two assistants leapt with their swords filled with dark energy slashing their opponents.
Daylight was slowly replacing the darkness but the fight was still fierce. Feng Yuexin retreated a bit to prepare for a stronger move and unconsciously raised her eyes to an adjacent pavilion. There ,she saw him again.
