A Demon's Journey

The recruitment of so many disciples in both the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect and the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect had created issues.

Many things had to be reorganized to accommodate so many disciples. Fortunately, Azaroth had set up the entire Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, so Tiana's task was to slowly assign these new disciples to those departments.

However, Azaroth hadn't spent that much thought when he created the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. Other than taking care of all the basic needs, he left everything in Amelia and Tiana's hands.

However, he left a lot of space in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect and set up a construction array that could help Amelia and Tiana to set up more buildings or departments easily.

Amelia soon set up multiple departments. These departments were the Alchemy Division, Array Formation Division, and Craftsman Division.

However, it took Amelia a week to understand that these departments were still insufficient to allocate the disciples properly. She had to create more departments.

Thus, many new departments based on different elemental attributes were created in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. Basically, the Fire Attribute Warriors had their Fire Elemental Department. The Wind Attribute Warriors had their separate departments and so on.

All the department heads were 5 Star Warriors and were the original members of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

Amelia Byrne had recruited many strong warriors into the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect, but none of them were assigned important positions.

All of them were given the status of a disciple. This was to prevent them from suddenly gaining access to the entire Elemental Aurora Valley Sect and creating a ruckus.

Another concept was added in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. The concept of the Contribution Points!

To acquire something from the sect, the disciples or even the elders required the Contribution Points. These contribution points were acquired or earned by doing something for the sect.

The disciples could earn contribution points by selling beast corpses to the sect.

Joining the Alchemy division and producing pellets for the entire sect. Managing the herbal garden of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

Devising, setting, or mending the array formations around the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

Designing, manufacturing, or repairing weapons for the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

In fact, discovering or donating a new recipe, manual, or formula to the sect would allow them to earn massive contribution points.

However, there were things that the contribution points couldn't buy. That was the position of the elders.

All the elders were branded with a superior seal. Their abilities were greatly magnified because of the demonic seal.

Amelia could make them elders at her own discretion. No one in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect could force her. Well, through the rules of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect, that is. However, influencing her decision through some other means like threatening her or extorting her was still possible.

The elders were powerful, and they would naturally listen to Amelia's orders, but the number of 5 Star disciples in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect more or less equaled the number of elders.

This created a strange balance in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. If these 5 Star disciples united, they could try to pressure Amelia and influence her decision.

The power of a 5 Star Warrior couldn't be underestimated.

These warriors were currently obeying Amelia because their sense of threat from the Sinyalian Kingdom's Royal Family had yet to fade. Once it did fade, Tiana was sure that these disciples would start demanding more rights. These disciples also didn't possess the loyalty for Azaroth that Amelia and her group of elders did.

Thus, Tiana wanted to prevent this situation from ever occurring. This was why she had yet to leave the Sinyalian Kingdom for the Empire of Qian Guo.

Tiana decided to set up another department in the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect. This was known as the Disciple Supervising Branch. And this branch wasn't under the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

The members of this branch were actually the disciples of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. And the head of this branch was an Elder of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

All the elders and the earlier disciples of Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect were very loyal to Azaroth and Tiana. Tiana was sure that they would never betray the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, or Azaroth.

Thus, the task of this Disciple Supervising Branch was to monitor the 5 Star disciples of the Elemental Aurora Valley Sect.

​ At the end of each year, they would prepare a report about those 5 Star disciples. If those reports stated that these disciples were loyal, they would be promoted to the elder rank.

Moreover, the members of the Disciple Supervising Branch would change every year. They would all be the disciples of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Even Amelia couldn't order the members of the Disciple Supervising Branch, without the approval of the current sect mistress of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

It took nearly another month to set up this Disciple Supervising Branch and deal with some more issues before Tiana finally passed her position to Helena.

It was time for Tiana to leave. She had to leave for the Empire of Qian Guo now.

Tiana took her Frozen Spirit Fox Beast along with her and left the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Helena possessed a Mystical Transmission Amulet that allowed her to contact Tiana's Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring directly.

All of Azaroth's retainers possessed this Mystical Transmission Amulet that was linked to their respective rings. He had created these so that his retainers could still stay in touch with the branch they had left behind.

After Tiana left the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, she asked her fox to maintain a quick speed. Tiana believed that the Queen of the Sinyalian Kingdom might have sent some warriors to keep an eye on the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

If so, many warriors might approach her and try to capture her very soon.

Moreover, the Frozen Spirit Fox's body was very conspicuous now. It had a very large size and could easily carry Tiana on its back.

Tiana's guess turned out to be right. Irene soon received information that someone had come charging out of that strange mist on top of a Frozen Spirit Fox.

Irene instantly guessed that the person who charged out must either be a disciple or an elder of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect. She could gain valuable information from this individual.

At this moment, a special team was already pursuing Tiana. Unfortunately, none of them could catch up to Tiana because of the Frozen Spirit Fox's quick pace.

However, the warriors in this special team didn't lose hope. They believed that this Frozen Spirit Fox would tire out soon enough. They could capture both of them at that time.

Even Tiana knew about this issue. Thus, she asked the Frozen Spirit Fox to go through some forests along the way.

The forests in her path were all dangerous woods that harbored Beast Lords. In reality, Tiana had chosen this path before she left the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

Tiana knew that it was very important for her to lose the warriors pursuing her if she wanted to get out of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

It would be disastrous if the warriors of the Sinyalian Kingdom somehow captured her. Thus, Tiana had planned her route well enough to lose the pursuit of these special teams.

It took nearly one whole month for Tiana to reach the borders of the Sinyalian Kingdom.

Unlike Yrellea, Tiana couldn't pass through the borders by bribing the soldiers of the Lamhilhan Theocracy.

Nearly five months had passed since the Sinyalian Kingdom gained control of the Glerian Kingdom's territory. The security on both the borders was quite tight. The Lamhilhan Theocracy wouldn't allow someone to barge into their territory so easily.

However, Tiana was prepared for this possibility as well. Thus, she pulled out multiple blue stalks of grass from her Mystical Spiritual Communication Ring.

If Azaroth was here, he would have laughed aloud upon seeing those blue grass stalks.

This was none other than Spirit Core Grass. Due to its rich spiritual energy, this grass attracted beasts from the nearby area.

This grass grew in the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect, but no beasts dared to approach it because of the strange mist surrounding the sect.

Azaroth would have definitely been happy to see Tiana's growth. She was actually planning to set up a beast raid to breach the borders and reach the Lamhilhan Theocracy.
