Elder's Ultimatum

The young man ran until he reached his house in his clan building, exhausted, he began to pant and fall over.

An old man in a black robe with two dragons on both sides of it stepped out of the building, his skin was pale and he seemed to be a walking corpse.

"Well well well, you do live. Nice to see you again Feng Li" The old man said with a rotten smile.

Feng Li got up and quickly cupped his hands.

"Feng Li greets great elder, what is it you need of me?" Feng responded with a smile but was internally annoyed.

"Me? Need of you? Best get the idea out of your head, cripple. You know.. I've been waiting for your return.." The old elder walked closer towards Feng with a gaze capable of destroying even the most bravest men's courage.

Feng Li looked at his feet, the elder then slapped him in the face.

"Make me look for you again and you're dead. Don't forget the clan meeting later today." The corpse smiled, showing his rotten teeth.

"Y-yes elder. Thank you for showing me the way." Feng Li replied quickly without a shred of the hope he had when he first arrived. .

The elder then walked away casually, as if he had just simply visited an orchard and was enjoying himself.

Feng collapsed onto the ground, panting harder than before. The slaps from the elder were not to be taken lightly. He spit up blood and passed out.

'I see. So there are some people interfering with my missions.' The consciousness known as Sind flew towards Feng and a piece of it parted into him.

'This should do..' The piece was absorbed and Feng Li was healed, even his dantian was healed.

Sind then flew away once more, observing.

'There is only so much I can do to help you.. there are rules with these missions after all..'

Feng Li awoke a while later, he entered his house and there was a note left by the elder who had just left.

"If you do not attend all meetings from this point on you will be killed. This is not a warning, this is a certainty." It read in crimson ink.

"That bastard.." Feng Li angrily hit the desk, causing it to break into pieces easily, this shocked Feng Li.

"No! Can it be?! My cultivation! It's back!" Feng Li's face lit up, completing the mission given to him by the entity would surely be much easier now.
