Seven Deadly Sins System

At the edge of a seemingly endless forest, the sound of fighting could be clearly heard, while the ground below shook violently, as if countless beasts were rampaging everywhere.

From time to time, the loud roaring of monsters came from the forest, accompanied by emotions such as hatred, cruelty, madness and containing a slight hint of begging.

The fight seemed to have lasted for a long time, and it was only when the sun was about to set that the noise finally stopped.

A few minutes later, a beautiful woman walked out of the forest, holding a handkerchief in her hand and wiping off the blood on her hands and face.

Chu Wuyao, having just walked out of the forest, took a last glance behind and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had finally walked out of that dangerous place.

"I didn't expect that even though my strength has improved so much, the journey would become more dangerous this time.", she whispered in a low voice.

Unlike last time, when Chu Wuyao left the Original Desire Sect with ease, this time, her luck didn't seem to be quite as good.

To return to the sect, she had to pass through one of the dangerous terrains that surrounded the Original Mountain and without much thought, she chose to go through the most ordinary terrain, a forest.

Unfortunately, her choice seemed to have been wrong, as during the past 24 hours, she had been targeted by countless animals, insects and monsters.

Even with her current strength, she found that the journey was actually quite dangerous.

Chu Wuyao knew that if she had met those monsters when she was leaving the sect, she would have long been dead by now.

This made her doubt whether the terrain around the Original Mountain was special, and the higher the strength of the person entering, the higher the danger they would face.

Chu Wuyao thought about it for a bit, but in the end, she shook her head and suppressed these thoughts.

Turning her head around, she looked at the huge, white gate that stood behind her.

Compared to the primitive forest she had just walked out of, this large gate that was made out of a white, marble-like material, seemed to be the condensation of human civilization.

It was surrounded by a faint, ethereal mist, while its material glowed with a strange white light, as if it was the object of immortals.

Chu Wuyao knew exactly what this massive gate was: the entrance to the Outer Area of the Original Desire Sect.

She had already seen it once when she was leaving the sect, but at that time, because of Li Ruoshi, she didn't have the time to admire its magnificence.

Staring at the huge gate, that was clearly visible even despite the darkness, Chu Wuyao couldn't help but sigh in emotion.

"The Original Desire Sect deserves to be one of the major sects."

"Even if it is considered an evil force, it still has the immortal atmosphere of a massive sect.", she thought and walked in, ready to enter the sect.

The moment she passed by the gate, she noticed that the red token in her pocket slightly vibrated, as if it was resonating with the white gate.

Only when Chu Wuyao had completely left the gate behind her did this vibration stop.

She didn't mind, knowing that this was a way for the sect to identify the return of disciples.

Having just witnessed the magnificence of the gate, Chu Wuyao walked into the sect with some strange anticipation, only for the previous atmosphere of immortality to disappear completely, replaced by the familiar sight of the Original Desire Sect.

The small, stone buildings that were everywhere, the many outer disciples that were walking in a hurry, the strange sounds coming from the buildings and the weird smell in the air, woke Chu Wuyao up, making her realize that the so-called immortal atmosphere was a joke.

She originally planned to take a stroll in the sect and admire its scenery, but now, she felt that it would be a better choice to just return to her residence.

"It seems that the weeks that I spent outside have made me unconsciously relax.", she thought and forced herself to wipe out these meaningless emotions.

Her face turned expressionless, as she walked to the streets and stared coldly at the disciples that passed by her.

This look, coupled with her beautiful appearance, attracted a little attention from those around, but when they saw that her cultivation was at the 3rd Level of Qi Accumulation, they simply ignored her.

In the Original Desire Sect, although being beautiful could be considered an advantage, if one were beautiful but didn't have enough strength, it meant nothing.

Noticing their thoughts, Chu Wuyao didn't care and with fast but steady steps walked towards her residence.

While on the way, her ears suddenly twitched and she heard the sound of many, in-sync footsteps coming from in front of her.

Raising her head, she saw that there was a dozen or so people, walking one right behind the other on the road ahead.

These people were wearing long white robes and one of their hands was holding a wooden coffin, white the other one held a lantern that shone with a green light that drove away the darkness.

Whenever these people went, the outer disciples would subconsciously walk to the side, letting them pass.

Soon, these people arrived near Chu Wuyao, who also stepped to the right side of the street, unwilling to stand out.

Just as she was about to catch a random disciple and ask them what was going on, she heard a sigh coming from a young man next to her.

"Did it happen again? Is this the third or the fourth wave of corpses so far?"

"More than 50 disciples have been found dead in just a month.", the young man shook his head and sighed, clearly emotional.

"Senior brother, isn't this normal? We are all evil cultivators after all.", a disciple at the 1st Level of Qi Accumulation heard his muttering and asked promptly.

Judging from his low cultivation, not only was this disciple quite new, but his status and talent were obviously not very good.

The young man heard his words and smiled sarcastically when he saw his low cultivation, but he still explained patiently.

"That's because you don't know that all these people were killed in the same exact way: their heads were cut off and countless wounds were found in their bodies."

"This means that there is a high chance that all these people were killed by the same person. And this person most likely enjoys torturing their victims."

The young man's explanation shocked the people around him, who turned their attention to him.

Even those with the highest status among them didn't know such information.

While they were deep in thought, pondering over the young man's words, the voice of the disciple who asked the question previously sounded again.

"Senior brother, how do you know so much? Is it possible that you are the murderer?"

Hearing his doubts, the man didn't become angry, but showed a proud expression.

"Hahaha, junior brother, you don't know. My brother is the best friend of the follower of the maid of the junior sister of senior sister Yue."

His loud, proud words made the eyes of the people around him to change, and they looked at him with clear admiration.

"Really? Senior brother, I didn't expect that you are so well-connected and your brother is actually the follower of senior sister Yue."

"Is your brother really the maid of senior sister Yue?"

"I didn't expect that you would actually be best friends with senior sister Yue."

Chu Wuyao, who witnessed everything, became speechless, and found that the conversation was becoming more and more crooked.

With no hesitation, she hurriedly ran away, afraid that the next second, someone would claim that the young man was actually senior sister Yue.

While leaving, she couldn't help but recall the corpses that the white-clothed people were carrying, as well as the strange way of death that the young man had described.

Unknowingly, the figure of the black clothed, masked man with a red sword in his hand appeared in her mind, and she felt that he might be the one responsible for all the murders.
