Immortal Ice Empress: Path to Vengeance

Space itself seemed to collapse on Mira's position, preventing her from moving. She struggled to release herself, but to no avail.

A maddened smile formed on Aryan's face as he charged at her with extended claws.

"DIE!!"

*Puchi!*

He stabbed his arm through Mira's abdomen and didn't stop there. With his other arm, he formed a hand out of Qi and ripped apart the rest of her body, tearing out her limbs and digging out her guts.

"HAHAHAHA! DIE!! DIE!! DIE!!" He laughed like a crazy maniac as he tore into Mira's body, but suddenly, the hairs on his neck stood up as he was overwhelmed by a sense of danger.

He tried to dodge, but before he could react, a blade had already torn through one of his wings, removing it.

"What?!" A split second after, he disappeared from his position and reappeared a dozen meters away. There, where he once was, Mira stood perfectly fine without a scratch. 𝙛𝑟ee𝘸𝑒𝗯n𝗼𝘃e𝗹.𝒄𝒐𝑚

His bloodshot eyes widened in horror as he stared at Mira, "How are you alive?!" He turned to the body he had ripped into, but it was already dissipating when he looked over.

Mira smirked, seeing his confusion, and she relished the fact that she could deal so much mental damage to this annoying dickhead.

"What? Did you forget I was a fox?" Mira teased as she twirled her scythe, "While I'm not the biggest fan of the way foxes fight, I have to admit that it is very effective."

Aryan scowled as he had completely forgotten about that. No, it'd be more accurate to say that he never thought about it in the first place. Wild foxes are rare to find in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range, so not many know of their abilities, nor do they talk about them. Also, fox beastmen are even rarer. Not to mention, Mira isn't someone famous on the Western Continent.

How would he know any of Mira's abilities other than her ice affinity?

'Fuck! That bitch scammed me!' Aryan cursed inwardly, but he didn't manage to conceal his grief from Mira. She squinted her eyes, feeling something was wrong. Although he seemed angry, and plenty of it was directed at her, she felt something else was at play.

In fact, Mira felt that this whole situation was weird.

While frowning, Mira waved her hand, causing dozens of black tentacles to rise out of the ground and wrap around Aryan's legs before sticking hundreds of barbs deep into his skin.

"Urgh!" Aryan grunted in pain and was about to try and escape, but Mira stopped him.

"I wouldn't use that teleport move if I were you. Not unless you want to lose both your legs in the process." Mira smirked, feeling amused that she managed to capture a dragon.

'Though, he's not a real dragon.'

Aryan's eyes turned a deeper shade of crimson as he stared at Mira. His hatred for this woman had reached beyond what he thought possible.

"Bitch! What do you want from me?! If you want to kill me, just do it! There's no need to drag things out!" Although he was at the mercy of his enemy, Aryan had no intention of submitting, nor was he going to threaten her with his background. It went against his nature.

"Oh, I intend to do just that, but first, you must answer a few of my questions," Mira said lightly.

After saying that, she released a faint pink aura around them to charm him. Since Aryan's mind had already begun to collapse from all the physical and psychological pain she had put him through, it didn't take long for small, pink hearts to form in his pupils.

Mira's hips swayed as she walked over to the man, and in a seductive voice, she asked, "Why don't you tell me the real reason you're after me? I'm sure that when you showed up, you had no intention of killing me. Instead, it seemed you were more interested in subduing me."

Aryan's heart-shaped pupils glowed for a moment before he answered, "I came here to make you submit to me."

Mira's expression didn't change when she heard this and just asked, "Why? Why do you want me to submit to you?"

"You are strong, beautiful, talented, and our bloodlines are compatible. I will become much stronger if you submit to me and we dual cultivate. I can also smell a treasure of great value on your body."

"Did you come here on someone else's order?" Mira asked.

Aryan nodded, "For some reason, the Sect Master offered a very generous reward to anyone that can find Mira and bring her back to the Sect to be used as a cultivation furnace."

Mira tilted her head at the unfamiliar term, "Cultivation furnace? What's that?"

"Dual cultivation is the act of sharing energies between each other during intercourse to strengthen both parties. However, a cultivation furnace is someone who is forced to give their energy to another without receiving anything in return."

Mira frowned, "So, essentially, you want to turn me into a sex slave?"

Aryan nodded, not denying her assumption, as that's what a cultivation furnace is.

After hearing what she wanted to know, Mira decided to move on to the next set of questions, "How did you find me?"

"The Sect Master was informed of someone destroying a Branch of the Crimson Slayer Sect, and it was assumed to be your doing. After not hearing about you for a while, I sent some of the weaker disciples and my servants to look for abnormalities in the Ancient Beast Mountain Range. That's when someone spotted a golden-winged wolf flying around. From the information we were given about you, we knew that you had once traveled with such a creature. From there, it didn't take long for me to find you."

Mira was stunned by his answer. She should have covered her tracks extremely well, only leaving behind a few clues. However, those clues were far from enough to lead him straight to her position in the mountains.

'Is this the intuition of someone with a dragon bloodline or the effects of the F.LD.I.L?' Mira couldn't be sure, but it mattered little. All that mattered was that the person who found her was Aryan, not someone else.

"Alright, last question before I send you on your way. Did you tell anyone else I was here?" This was perhaps the most important question because if he had already informed his Sect Master of her location, she was fucked.

"Yes." Aryan nodded his head, causing Mira's expression to distort.

'Fuck!' She cursed.

Mira stared at Aryan, her eyes glowing, and said, "Then you can go now!"

She waved her hand to kill him, but before she could do that, an enormous pressure crashed into her from all sides, preventing her from moving or using her Qi.

Mira looked up at the sky and saw that she was surrounded by dozens of people, men, and women alike. They all had a yin-yang emblem on their robes, so it wasn't hard to tell who they were and what Sect they were from.

'Dammit! Why? Why did these bastards have to come right now?!' She glanced at Aryan, who was beginning to regain his freedom from her charm, and tried her best to suck him dry with the tentacles, but she couldn't do anything. The pressure on her and around her was too much.

"I think you've done enough, young lady. Let's end the fight here before you do something you will regret." A handsome man, who didn't seem older than 30, descended from the sky with a beautiful woman next to him.

However, while the two looked young, Mira knew they were a couple of old coots.

Hearing his words, Mira sneered, "I think you've mistaken something, old man. Regret? Why would I regret killing this inbred dragon wannabe and his rap*st Sect companions? " Since things had already come this far and knowing what they planned to do to her, Mira didn't hold back with the insults.

The surrounding people's faces warped into frowns, with all their amiable and gentle expressions disappearing.

_{𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢}

"Bitch! How dare you talk back to the Sect Masters!?!"

"You're just a slut who is going to be fuel for our cultivation! So, just kneel down and accept your fate!"

"It seems like we'll have to train her properly when we get back to the Sect."

The surrounding people erupted into an uproar, cursing and jeering at Mira, but the person in question just smirked and stared at the man and woman in front of her.

"So, you two are the Sect Masters, huh? No wonder the Yin-Yang Sect has a bad reputation. Even the Sect Masters are whoring themselves out! Hahaha!" Mira felt the pressure on her increase, breaking a few of her bones, but she didn't care and kept laughing.

The two Sect Master's frowns deepened, but they didn't bother saying anything as if it was beneath them. The man just waved his hand, lifted Mira and Aryan off the ground, and turned around.

"I'll handle you when we get back to the Sect." He said as he flew back up into the air with them right behind him.

With his back facing Mira, he couldn't see her expression, but if he could, he would have realized that something was wrong. Instead of feeling scared or angry, the woman he captured had a large, crazy smile on her face.

'Those peeping assholes have finally come. Good job, Rhydian.' Mira thought, ready to watch a great show.

"WHO GAVE YOU THE BALLS TO LAY YOUR HANDS ON MY DISCIPLE'S FUTURE WIFE!?!?" An angry shout filled with killing intent shook the mountains, freezing everyone and everything in place for a moment.
