The Villain wants a sect full of maidens!

" S-senior, have mercy... I mean no harm, "

Watching the gruesome fate of her companion, the young woman's eyes widened in fear and disbelief.

Despite her initial arrogant behavior, she now realized that Bai Lung was far more dangerous than she had anticipated.

" Please! Spare me, " she pleaded while she was still hovering mid-air with a mix of terror and reverence marked on her delicate face

" I didn't mean to offend the senior, I just wanted to form an alliance. My name is Alina, one of the direct disciples of Holy Child, "

Giving her introduction, Alina hesitated for a moment before continuing hesitantly,

" Holy Child is a powerful entity who has been reborn after centuries of slumber...and we are currently looking for warriors like yourself to aid for his protection against those who wish them harm, "

Meanwhile,

Ignoring the woman's plea for forgiveness, Bai Lung remained focused on her words. His eyes narrowed as he considered her offer,

Obviously, he wasn't gonna serve some holy child, but, he really wanted to meet this guy.

Bai Lung's face twisted into a cruel smile as he recalled Alina's words about the Holy Child being a powerful entity.

The mention of the Holy Child's power only served to fuel his desire to control such an entity under the palm of his hand.

" Hehe! Your loyalty is commendable, but I doubt you fully comprehend the gravity of the situation.... "

Saying that he stepped closer to Alina, towering menacingly above her small and fragile feminine body.

"Long story short, tell me everything about Holy child and what exactly is he? " he uttered with his cold voice while his deep red eyes were looking straight at her soul.

Gulp!

Alina trembled slightly under Bai Lung's intense gaze but forced herself to remain composed despite the fear coursing through her veins. She even swallowed hard.

She knew better not to provoke him any further by being stubborn, so she began recounting everything she knew about the Holy Child and their precarious position as his disciple.

---

Holy Child is a being of immense power and wisdom, revered by many throughout history.

They possess knowledge that far surpasses anything known to mankind, including ancient secrets and magical abilities beyond comprehension.

In short, they are considered divine entities capable of shaping destinies and influencing events on a grand scale.

You can say, they are avatars of gods.

...

Bai Lung raised an eyebrow, listening to her explanation.

Despite his interest in Holy Child's potential benefits, Bai Lung remained skeptical about their existence.

" Avatars of gods, eh? " Bai Lung mused aloud, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

The idea of controlling such a powerful entity intrigued him greatly.

However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there might be more to this Holy Child than met the eye

Like why would these 'avatars of gods' need protection from mere mortals like him?

Well, technically he isn't a mere mortal, but, considering her words, they are looking for people to protect the god.

" Hmm? Why do they need protection if they are gods, if they have enough power capable of changing destiny? "

He asked pointing his index finger at Alina with a piercing stare.

What could possibly threaten beings with such immense power and knowledge?

Alina hesitated for a moment before answering, while her face clearly shows she was uncomfortable discussing this topic.

But knowing full well that her life depended on convincing Bai Lung to join their cause, she steeled herself and continued speaking.

" Huff! Very well, let's start then, " Alina began with her voice that was barely above a whisper.

" There are forces in this world that seek to exploit the Holy Child's power for their own gain. They believe that by controlling such an entity, they can bend reality itself to suit their needs,"

Her eyes flickered nervously towards Bai Lung as she spoke, gauging his reaction.

It was clear that she feared him almost as much as she did those mysterious opposers.

" These people call themselves 'The Shadow Council', and they have agents scattered across the world working tirelessly to locate and capture anyone associated with the Holy Child, since, you know about holy child you have two options, either join us or p-p-perish,"

Bai Lung listened intently to Alina's story, while his expression was totally unreadable.

' The Shadow Council? '

If such an organization existed, then surely they possessed power and resources that must rival the holy son right?

And if he could align himself with this 'Shadow Council,' perhaps he could use their influence to expand his reach even farther

" Things are getting Interesting! " Bai Lung murmured, rubbing his chin thoughtfully

" Take me to meet this holy child, let me see him with my own eyes... I really wanna see the person capable of bending fates," Bai Lung muttered in his cold voice while grabbing her hair and pulling it hard.

" esshhhh! " she was in pain.

" V-Very well," Alina agreed while gritting her teeth against the pain of Bai Lung's grip on her hair.

" But first, you must swear an oath to protect the Holy Child and stand against the Shadow Council, " she adds.

Hearing this nonsense,

Bai Lung released his hold on Alina's hair and crossed his arms over his chest, and looked at her as if he was looking at a fool.

He kept staring at her for a short moment before, smirking slightly, after that, Bai Lung grabbed Alina's arm tightly and pulled her close.

" Insolence! I don't recall giving you permission to speak out of turn. Just, lead me to this Holy Child, or suffer the consequences, "

As soon as those cold words escaped his mouth, countless swords had magically appeared in the sky pointing at her.

Gulp!

She swallowed her saliva while she looked at Bai Lung, " P-Please understand... Only those who swear their loyalty to the Holy Child can meet him, otherwise, we can't enter his domain at all," she said in a weak and quivering voice.

She was totally scared, she even peed herself.
