Just as the immortal sect is about to rip out my tendons and peel off my skin, I kick the white lotus to the ground and leap off a cliff with the whole sect's IOUs. I expect to splatter into mincemeat, but instead I land right on the stunning Demon Venerable, who was in seclusion, and make him cough up blood. He points his sword at me. "Outsider, die!" I wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Handsome, your glabella looks dark and your qi and blood are flowing backward. You need a partner to bring down the immortal realm." From then on, he handles the Golden Core cultivators, while I take care of infrastructure. When the entire Demon Abyss is eating hot pot and the immortal sect is driven mad by astronomical bills, the Demon Venerable pulls me close and chuckles, "My lady, this move is on another level!"
