A Marriage of Corruption

Within the clan state, mansions and houses are reserved for people that have a high cultivation stage or rank within the sect. The clan does not make any more houses and mansions. As they have reached the point that building more become a waste. Because of this, the architecture of the houses and mansions is old. Made mostly of wood and stone.

In one of these mansions, in of its many rooms. There are two people sitting in front of each other. One of them is a man with bright red hair and red eyes. With bulging muscles and a good build body, he could be considered handsome. But not as much as Mors.

Facing this young man, whose name is Yao Song. Is a beautiful woman with short gray hair and green eyes. With nice balance body proportions and a small book in her hand. She is a commander stage cultivator on the brink of breaking through to the general stage. The breakthrough to the commander stage requires the cultivator to cleanse their body of impurities and negative energy.

This allows for the improvement of individual body parts during the commander stage. To break through to the general stage the cultivator will have to choose a physique. Well not really chose but earn a physique. This can generally be done in a Breakthrough Tower. This woman is none other than Xinyang, Zhihui's cousin.

Xinyang could go to the tower and do her breakthrough already, but she is gathering as much strength as possible. Trying to increase the chances of her getting a better physique. As the better, you do in the Tower and complete its challenges, the better the physique that you gain will be.

Of course, there is another thing that is stopping her from doing her breakthrough. That is the man that is in front of her. This man one day comes to the sect with his mother, asking for a marriage between him and Xinyang.

Something that took the sect by surprise, but something they can't deny. The Moon Splitter sect shares a border with the Elemental Weapons sect. A marriage between the two of them, with Song joining the sect and taking on the surname Wu. It is a very good proposition for the Elemental Weapon sect.

With the two sects connected by a marriage, the relationship between the two sects will improve. To the point that maybe an alliance can be formed. While Humans are always at war with Goblins and Spirits, wars can still happen between Human sects. The same is possible for Goblins and Spirits.

While the Elemental Weapon sect has no current rivals or plans for expansion. The extra protection that comes from having an alliance is good. But since the two subjects of this marriage are adults that can make their own decisions, a couple of dates so that the two of them get to know each other is mandatory.

This is one of those dates, the couple looking at each other without even speaking a word. The tea that has been served to them has gone somewhat cold as neither of them has touched it. The first one to speak is no other Xinyang.

"So, tell me, why did you want this marriage? I don't remember ever meeting you before"

Song is taken by surprise by the sudden question answered back in a hurried tone. Xinyang takes a sip of her cold tea as she hears his answer.

"To tell the truth, I have heard many great things about you miss Xinyang. I really wanted to get closer to you"

"If that was the case then you could have just sent a letter and we could have become friends, there is no point in this marriage talk"

"..There is a person with this sect that I want to keep my eye on"

"Oh?" Xinyang said with a raised eyebrow, as she finished taking a sip of her cold tea. She puts down the porcelain tea cup "Tell me who is this person?"

"That will be no other than Xiong Ming, or how he goes by now Wu Ming"

Song said with deep hatred and jealousy in his eyes. His hand curls up into a fist, he could not forget the humiliation he felt when he lost to him in just one move. This of course peeks Xinyang interest.

"Why would you want to keep an eye on my cousin's husband?"

"Well, I just want to know his secret to getting strong. If I can learn those secrets and use them against him. Then I can beat him and regain my honor"

Xinyang knew exactly how Song felt, she too felt jealous of her cousin. The one who got all the talents and love.

"I understand how you feel, but he is an anomaly. He has only done some farming and taught some cultivators a sky stage skill"

"He already learns a sky stage technique!? What skill is it?"

"I don't know, the cultivators call it Mind over body. Our sect library has no such skill, so he must have known about it before joining the sect"

As Song hears this he could not help but grow more jealous of Mors. Why can't he have that kind of skill and talent?! As Song slowly drowns in his own jealousy, he felt the warm hand of Xinyang grab his own. As he looks at her, feeling lost in the darkness of her green eyes. She spoke.

"No need to worry, if you marry me I will help you gain everything Ming has. Just like you are jealous of my cousin's husband, I am jealous of my cousin. Together we can gain everything they have"

As the two people look at each other, the corruption deep within them grew in strength. Their combined jealousy made the [Dark Young] smile more, now with 3 cultivators under its dark wing. It can finally start its plan of invasion. While Zhihui and Mors are out on their own adventure, a couple of corruption is slowly forming to combat them. This is one of the many effects the couple had on the course of history and on fate.
