Chapter 440 [Bonus Chapter]Explosions
The technique that Aelina used is a secret technique that is part of the foundation of the Battle Maiden Sect. It's a technique that all the higher-ups of the Sect must learn and is part of why nobody can learn anything about them despite the number of wars and battles they've had throughout history.
It's a technique that lets one create an 'avatar' or a clone, but it's a little more complicated than that.
The technique itself isn't about creating avatars and is just one of its many uses. However, for what Aelina tends to do, all she needs is the clone in front of her.
After filling the 'clone' up with Qi, Aelina had it put on some clothes along with a veil to hide its face, then waved her hand and sent it into the pocket space where the Crimson Slayer Sect's headquarters is located.
Honestly, Aelina felt a bit bitter about sending in a clone. She would have loved to go in there herself and wreak havoc, but she knew that there might be untold consequences should she do that.
"Whatever. At least I can still have some fun with this technique." Aelina smiled and focused her consciousness on the clone she had just sent into the Crimson Slayer Sect.
***
When Aelina's 'clone' entered the Crimson Slayer Sect, the first thing she did was fly straight toward the area where all the powerful auras were located. The strength of this clone has about 75% of her total strength, and as one of the strongest in the entire Battle Maiden Sect, 75% of her power is more than enough to trample anyone in this Crimson Slayer Sect except for maybe its ancestor.
Even then, she wouldn't necessarily lose. No, it's pretty much impossible for her to lose even if she couldn't fight him head-on, but she didn't plan on doing anything too rash… probably.
'Let's see. Maria said that Mira saw an old man take away the young man who attacked her. There aren't too many people among those in the Mortal Shedding Realm or the Divine Sea Realm. The only people I can think of would be the Sect Master or the Ancestor. Though, I suppose it could be someone else.' Aelina thought to herself while mentally shrugging her shoulders.
She doesn't pay much attention to Sects full of weaklings like the Crimson Slayer Sects. In fact, she doesn't put any of the Unorthodox Faction Sects in her eyes. They all use cultivation techniques that allow for quick progression, but their foundations are dogshit.
Aelina already considers herself near invincible among those in the same stage as her, and this is even more amplified when she's against weaklings from the Unorthodox Factions.
So what if they have a few more Mortal Shedding Realm and Divine Sea Realm powerhouses? They are nothing more than little children in front of her!
With these thoughts in mind, Aelina's clone flew straight towards the Sect Master's abode!
In just barely a second, she arrived in front of the building, gave it a glance, and began walking towards the entrance.
Unfortunately, she was topped by a few guards who pointed their swords at her preventing her from entering.
Aelina's main body smiled as she figured she might as well cause a little ruckus before entering.
"Halt! This is the Sect Master's residence! If you don't have an appointment, turn back now!" One of the guards, someone at the Soul Transformation Realm, shouted.
In an androgynous voice that sounded slightly static, Aelina's clone said, "Tell your Sect Master that the Battle Maiden Sect sends their regards."
Although the clone's voice slightly threw off the guards, they didn't lose their bearings and instead shouted, "What Battle Maiden Sect? Quit speaking nonsense! Since you don't have an appointment with the Sect Master, then leave! Or else don't blame me for using force!"
"Sigh… I see. I figured the old man would've been smarter and predicted my arrival, but it seems he's more foolish than I thought. Well, I guess that's the Unorthodox Faction for you. Brainless, as always." The clone said.
Immediately, anger appeared in the guards' eyes, and without hesitation, they attacked Aelina's clone.
"You bitch! You dare to slander our Sect Master! DIE—!"
The clone just smiled and gracefully waved its hand. Although this movement looked simple and weak, the two guards weren't even allowed to move before they were turned to dust.
Even their blood was spared as they seemingly vanished from the clone's simple attack.
"I guess I'll just let myself in. Hehehe~" The clone's slightly static voice rang out as it calmly walked into the Sect Master's building.
Unfortunately, Aelina barely made it a step in when a powerful aura locked onto her.
"Identify yourself!' An old, slightly archaic voice rang out.
"There's no need to feign ignorance. Although you might be stupid, surely your brain isn't so muddled that you can't figure out where I'm from and why I'm here." Aelina could almost feel the old man freeze up after she said that.
"...I have no idea what you're talkin-"
*Snap*
Before the old man could finish his sentence, Aelina's clone snapped.
***
Back where Aelina's main body was located, she had already pulled out a talisman, inserted some qi into it, and said, "Sandra, do it."
"Understood, Sect Master!" Elder Sandra's voice replied back.
*BOOOOOoooooooom*
A few thousand kilometers away, a massive explosion was heard.
***
In the Crimson Slayer Sect, the Sect Master heard Aelina's clone snap and felt the vibrations of an explosion happen.
His expression darkened as he could already guess what just happened, and just like he thought, someone immediately came running into his office without even bothering to knock!
"Sect Master, bad news! One of our Branch Sects just got wiped out!"
The old man waved his hand.
"I know. I'll handle it. You can leave."
The person bowed his head and quickly left the old man's office. He felt that if he stayed another second, with the look on the Sect Master's face, he might actually die.
When the young man left, the Sect Master cursed out loud.
"FUCK! It seems those bastards I sent out got caught! What do I do?!"
…
The old man's mind was racing, but he couldn't think of anything. This was already the worst situation possible. The only thing he can do now is to try and solve this peacefully before his Sect is completely destroyed!
"FUCK!"
He couldn't help but curse again as he quickly appeared in front of Aelina's clone.
***
Aelina's clone looked at the old man in front of her and released a fake sigh.
"See, old man. If you didn't decide to play dumb, I wouldn't have had to blow up one of your Branch sects. Maybe now we can finally have a 'nice' conversation. I'd really love to know why a few of your disciples entered my territory without my permission. They even dared to take one of my disciples." The clone said and teleported into his office while the old man's face darkened once again.
'Goddamit! This crazy bitch!'
The old man thought to himself before he also teleported into his office.
They both sat down and sat in silence for a while, as the old man wasn't quite sure what to say. However, Aelina didn't like to waste time, so she raised her hand to snap her fingers again, causing the old man to freak out.
"Ah! Wait! I'd first like to say-"
*Snap*
*booooom*
*booooom*
Two more explosions rang out, shaking the mountain a bit after Aelina's clone snapped her fingers again.
"Listen, old man. I want answers, not excuses. Why were there disciples on my territory, and why did they capture one of my Sect's disciples? You have 10 seconds to answer truthfully, or I don't mind having a little bit more fun." Aelina's clone said.
'DAMMIT!' The old man's face twitched as he screamed internally.
Although he didn't care much about those Branch Sects, he knew that the person in front of him knew this as well. Her blowing them up is more of a countdown. Once the countdown reaches zero, in other words, his branch sects, that's when he will blow up!
Right now, it could be said that the Battle Maiden Sect was being 'lenient' by not completely destroying the Crimson Slayer Sect's headquarters.
Fortunately, his only offense was sending a few disciples into their territory and capturing a disciple of theirs. If it was anything worse than that, he was afraid his head might've already been removed from his shoulders…
"Fine! I'll talk, alright? Just stop blowing up my branch sects!"
