Heart Demon
"Zhi Hengshan, could you please tell us the area that your group was previously in? We would like to find clues on how they would turn into monsters or maybe even one of that man's weaknesses,"
" And would you like to come with?" said Gu Teng in a shy manner while blushing a little.
[ What a scum, I never thought these were his true color.] though Shi Liang with a look of disgust because of what she had witnessed.
However, Gu Teng couldn't fully be blamed for this, after all, Zhi Hengshan was just too beautiful.
However, even that might just be an understatement.
Zhi Hengshan had long black hair that was reaching her waist and small red eyes.
She has an extremely pretty and delicate face giving the illusion that a fairy was in front of their eyes.
" Senior brother Gu you might be thinking irrationally, if we end up encountering him on the way, it might just be the end of all of us even if there is a small chance of that happening. The chances are slim but it's still there. How about we just move on to somewhere far away where he might not be there?" said Zhi Hengshan with a look of fear in her eyes.
Gu Teng had wanted to say something, but Shi Liang spoke before he could.
" Stop being a coward, that guy killed all of your friends and your family and yet instead of doing something to get revenge, you are just running around with a tail between your legs, yet you call yourself the heir to the Hengshan. You should be ashamed of yourself," said Shi Liang while holding nothing back.
Being scolded by Shi Liang, Zhi Hengshan couldn't help but look at the ground, accepting all that Shi Liang had thrown at her.
Watching how Zhi Hengshan's mood dropped Gu Teng could help but start to feel empathy for her loss and also, start to feel anger towards Shi Liang because what she said was truly harsh to someone who just lost someone important to her.
" Shi Liang what the hell are you talking about? Zhi Hengshan just lost her whole group recently. Why can't you be little a less harsh?
Watching Gu Teng defend Zhi Hengshan, she started to feel more irritated towards both of them.
Gu Teng had yet to understand her intention.
She had originally wanted to change Zhi Hengshan's fear of that man into hatred so she could get revenge somehow and potentially prevent a heart demon in the future that she might gain from that man.
Heart Demons are an intensified emotion of regret that cultivators gain throughout their lives and whenever they might be on the verge of a great breakthrough, it could potentially interfere somehow.
If a cultivator is defeated by the Heart Demon in some cases, they would be possessed by it, doing things that they would normally never do.
" Harsh? I was trying to help her prevent Heart Deman that she might gain because of him " replied Shi Liang angrily.
" Trying? It looked more like you were trying to intensify it" Gu Teng countered.
" ENOUGH, BOTH OF YOU STOP IT" Zhi Hengshan yelled out trying to stop the argument between both Shi Liang and Gu Teng.
" I'll go with both of you but please just stop arguing I don't want to be seeing more drama than I already have," said Zhi Hengshan while tears were coming down her face.

Somewhere far away Liam could be seen standing on the branch of a giant tree.
[ Everything is going like it was originally planned] though Liam while looking in the direction of Gu Teng, Shi Liang, and Zhi Hengshan who were traveling to the destination where he had slaughtered a group recently.
He had been on a killing streak, Gu Teng and Shi Liang had a strong bond thus it was time-consuming to eliminate them however that couldn't be said about the other groups.
Arriving at the destination that Zhi Hengshan had said about the eyes of all three widened in horror as they looked at the remains of the slaughter.
bodies were everywhere, the race of every kind, dragons, elves, humans, demons. etc... But the most often corpse that could be spotted was the corpse
" Zhi Hengshan, I thought you only had a human group, why are there different species here?" said Gu Teng
" I don't know; maybe they sensed a great battle and thus came here to steal a few points," said Zhi Hengshan with uncertainty.

- A week later-
The relationship between Gu Teng and Shi Liang has been constantly on the edge.
The reason for that may be because of the presence of Zhi Hengshan and Gu Teng who happened to be under the effects of Aphrodisiac nectar could barely ignore her beauty as time passed.
It was just about time when he would try to commit the inevitable.
The camp that the Gu Tengs group were in. All were sound asleep except for Gu Teng.
It's not that he didn't want to sleep but he just couldn't under the effects of that nectar.
Every moment that passed made his body heat up, enough to make him feel like he was burning.
It was already a miracle that he could resist the temptation for this long.
[Aughh!!! I can't take it anymore] screamed Gu Teng in extreme frustration in his head.
getting out of the tent he sneakily made his way toward Zhi Hengshan trying his best not to even make a single sound while using a technique to hide his aura.
Making his way towards Zhi Hengshan's camp, he took out a powder before applying it on a handkerchief.

Some distance away in a forest filled with trees.
Gu Teng could be seen carrying a beautiful woman on his shoulder ignorant of the fact that he was being followed by a spectator.
Thinking about what he was about to commit, he became a little hesitant unsure if he should continue.
Once again, his body started to become extremely hot forcing him to lose his mind.
Feeling uncomfortable with the clothes on, he started to rip them off and what was about to happen next would be obvious to anyone.
