The explanation by one of the Black Lake Sect's disciples naturally didn't convince Azaroth.

He knew that the sect wouldn't just double the reward for a specific mission for no reason. If it really wanted all its disciples to develop quickly, the sect would double the reward for all missions.

​​

This meant the aim was something other than the Frozen Spirit Foxes. Or maybe it was something related to the Frozen Spirit Foxes, but they had no idea about it.

He then gave another signal to Tiana.

This time, Tiana immediately understood his signal and asked, "Who is your leader?"

"Our leader this time is Andreas Kondelis. He has one of the best Ice Elemental Techniques in the entire Black Lake Sect."

"Young Master Andreas is also a 4 Star Warrior while he is still under 20-years-old. Sect elders believe his potential to be quite great."

Azaroth simply snorted upon hearing this information.

In his eyes, 4 Star Warrior under the age of 20 wasn't a huge accomplishment. Only a 5 Star Warrior under 20 years of age could force Azaroth to treat him as an enemy seriously.

He gave a signal for Tiana to continue talking with these people about random topics. He more or less had an idea of what these disciples knew.

Azaroth then closed his eyes and increased his sensing range. As he concentrated more, he focused on the pack of Frozen Spirit Foxes that were the target of the Black Lake Sect's disciples.

Soon, his eyes widened with shock as he sensed very familiar energy from the center of the Frozen Spirit Foxes' den.

'This energy… It feels like the Moonlit Snow Lotus?!'

Moonlit Snow Lotus… It was considered a very valuable herb. Much more valuable than Icy Spirit Flower.

The reason Moonlit Snow Lotus was considered valuable was because of two reasons.

The first reason was that a Moonlit Snow Lotus was considered a natural spiritual gathering array.

It collected both Spiritual and Ice Elemental Energy all around it. Thus, even if Ice cultivators and creatures just cultivated while near this Moonlit Snow Lotus, their abilities would greatly improve.

The second reason was that it was one of the main ingredients in the formation of the pill known as the Seven Star Yin Pill. Using this pill, any inferior Yin Physique would transform to the Sacred Yin Physique.

A Sacred Yin Physique was countless times better than Three Yin Physique. Her body would absorb the Ardor much quicker. Her Ardor would also possess a trace of Innate Ice Energy that would just strengthen the power of her attacks.

Her affinity with the Ice Element would advance, allowing her to learn rare attacks and perform them quickly.

The formation of this pill was somewhat troublesome, and the alchemist had to atleast be a grandmaster to create this pill.

Fortunately, Azaroth's alchemy level barely reached the grandmaster level.

He wasn't confident in forming this pill in a single try. Fortunately, the petals of this Moonlit Snow Lotus were the main ingredients for the pill. Thus, he had more than one tries available.

Azaroth looked at Tiana and let out a sigh 'Her luck is quite amazing. To think that we would find a Moonlit Snow Lotus in a location where I will set up her sect.'

The location of Tiana's sect was now clear to him. He was going to set it up near the Frozen Spirit Foxes's territory.

That was where a lot of Ice Energy and Spiritual Energy had gathered because of Moonlit Snow Lotus.

It was definitely going to assist Tiana and her disciples.

After ingesting the pill, not only would Tiana's physique evolve, her cultivation would increase tremendously.

Now, the issue was this Black Lake Sect.

These people were going to take action and attack the Frozen Spirit Foxes soon. The ones who did know about the Moonlit Snow Lotus were immediately going to grab hold of it.

If Azaroth killed them and stole the Moonlit Snow Lotus, the Black Lake Sect would probably blacklist him.

Azaroth had another option, and that was to slaughter all the Black Lake Sect's disciples here. However, even this option had its fair share of troubles.

If he slaughtered all their disciples, the Black Lake Sect would send even stronger warriors to inspect this place.

Thus, Tiana wouldn't be able to set up her sect peacefully.

He needed to devise a plan to prevent the Black Lake Sect from sending anyone here.

Soon, his eyes twinkled with delight as he realized how he could handle this issue! Now that he thought more about it, this issue was not that hard to handle.

It was still midnight time, and the sun won't be up for another couple of hours.

Azaroth soundlessly got up and hopped away from the area.

The camp had guards patrolling the area in all directions. Azaroth though used a tiny bit of his Ardor to fly in the air.

The direction he was heading was none other than the Frozen Spirit Foxes' territory.

Azaroth was planning to steal the Moonlit Snow Lotus to infuriate the Frozen Spirit Foxes, who would then attack Black Lake Sect's disciples in their rage.

Naturally, in such a fight, Black Lake Sect's disciples would win by a landslide.

Even if they slaughter the Frozen Spirit Foxes, they won't accomplish their true objective. However, this was not something that the sect was going to inform the ordinary disciples.

Once they find out that the Moonlit Snow Lotus had already been stolen, they will definitely reach the conclusion that it was stolen by an expert at the 5 Star Rank or even stronger.

Also, the identity of this warrior was quite mysterious.

If he turned out to be a disciple of a hidden sect, then even the Black Lake Sect might find itself in some trouble.

As a result, there was a slim possibility they'd stay to examine the situation and determine who had stolen the Moonlit Snow Lotus.

He flew towards the Frozen Spirit Foxes's territory while using his normal humanely Ardor. Nothing relating a demon to Tiana or her sect should be left behind here.

After some time, he was flying above the Frozen Spirit Foxes's territory.

He felt the gazes of a Frozen Spirit Fox on him. This was none other than the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.

She had sensed Azaroth's presence from afar. But she hadn't attacked and allowed him to get nearer.

The closer he was, the less chance he would have to return.

Azaroth ignored that Frozen Spirit Fox Queen and instead focused on the Moonlit Snow Lotus.

The Moonlit Snow Lotus glowed beautifully as the Moon's silver light fell on it. Each of its petals radiated the moonlight that fell on it, illuminating the darkness around it.

When the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen noticed that Azaroth's objective was not her but the Moonlit Snow Lotus, she immediately let out a scream to wake up all her subordinates in the area.

Instantly, all the Frozen Spirit Foxes in the area stood up as they looked in their Queen's direction.

There was another scream that seemed to inform these foxes that there was an intruder.

All the Frozen Spirit Foxes then raised their head to look in Azaroth's direction.

As Azaroth was gazed at by so many Frozen Spirit Foxes, he smiled disdainfully.

There was a question in his mind as he thought 'Do these beasts actually believe they can stop me?'

Instantly, he released his Aura as a 5 Star Warrior!
