Enjoy :)
Chapter 5 might be released, a week after today or so~
Back at now the destroyed mountain, where it is now half its original size, was surrounded by debris, boulders, dead bodies and fire. From the fire, a man with a young girl in his arms walked out of the fire, laid the girl down on the ground, and started to take out his phone.
“May, how long until you arrive here?”
“About 3 to 5 hours more. Why?”
“We need you and your team to get here faster. The demon we we’re chasing was not alone, and the one leading those demons was extremely strong. All disciples, except for me and Scarlett are dead. I’m afraid Scarlett would have been inflicted with a wound that won’t heal easily. Also, contact our Undying Force, to come here immediately” the man said, before closing the phone, not even waiting for a reply.
The man then looked over his non-existent right arm, then turned his attention to the sky with a serious expression. After a few minutes, twelve streaks of bright red light appeared and kneeled before the man.
Those newly arrived people, are the Phoenix’s Clan, Undying Force, composed of exactly six woman and six men. Nothing more. Nothing less.
“Stand” the man said, while the twelve people obeyed and stood up.
“Spread out and bring any demon that remain in the area here” the man ordered.
“We hear and obey, Phoenix Patriarch” The Undying Force, said in response before separating in twelve different directions, to fulfill the order of their leader.
The man kept standing, for five hours until a single helicopter was in his view, and landed on the space where the fire was raging on, but died out two hours earlier. Once the helicopter landed, six people all wearing lab coats. The other five started to bring out and assemble the equipment’s, while a woman of tall and slender physique, with bright red hair and eyes, started to approach the man.

“Care to tell me what happened in detail?” the woman said in a very demanding tone.
“Where to begin….” the man did not mind the tone of the woman and began telling her want happened. From a simple demon hunt, it became a one-sided slaughter.
“Ai~ this is why I keep telling you not to force your breakthroughs! If you weren’t injured in the first place, you would have been able to beat that demon”
“Not, so sister. That demon has been the strongest I’ve meet, even in the battlefield”
“Enough about that. We have to get to the tomb of Meng Li as soon as possible. Her grave might contain something for us to get an upper hand”
“As soon as the Undying Force returns, order them as you wish”
“Thank you. But, before anything else, how is Scarlett” the woman said as she looked down at the sleeping figure of Scarlett.
“She’s stable, but I’m afraid she might be traumatized, by the Royal Demon” the man said in sadness.
“However, isn’t that good. Use it as a motivation”
“Perhaps, but we will talk after she wakes up and recover”
The man and woman, talked for some time, and only stopped when the Undying Force, returned each with a bloodied demon in hand.
“Now, what are your true intentions coming here?” the man asked the bloodied demons in a cold voice.
The demons stayed quiet.
“I will ask one more time, what are your true intentions here and what is the origin of the child?” as soon as the demons heard about the man talk about the child, they raised their faces up and stared at the man with large amount of killing intent.
“Oh~ did I hit a soft spot? With that child dead, I guess your plan here was a failure” the man said, expecting them to say something.
However, outside of his expectation, the demons anger started to vanish, but one of them, the strongest of the twelve demons, was laughing.

“What’s so funny?” the man asked the laughing demon in a serious voice.
“Our young master is not dead. Soon enough, you’re Phoenix Clan…starting with that girl will die, for a cultivator’s path is full of revenge. But, be happy! You are the first one to be on our young masters kill list, feel proud! It is a great honor! Now, my brothers let us be with our brethren!” as soon as the leading demon stopped talking, body started to wither and turn into a black gas that immediately went into a certain direction.
One by one, the other eleven demos started to wither and turn into black gas that went into the same direction as the first. This scene caused everyone from the Phoenix Clan to open there eyes wide in surprise, as this was their first time to see something like this.
“This is going to be troublesome. Undying Force, assist May, for as long as she needs. The man said, the, turning his attention to the woman named May.
“May, I will be returning with Scarlett for the mean time. If you find anything, immediately report it to me”
“Sure thing” May said, as she began to order around her team and the Undying Force.
The man carried Scarlett, once more and got on the helicopter. Inside the helicopter, the man was holding a red paper talisman. He, was contemplating, if he would us this talisman or not.
This red talisman, is only one of a kind. Only made once, used once. There is a rule for this talisman, it can only be used once, and once used, all cultivators would receive the message that was inputted into this talisman.
Without thinking any longer, the man crushed the talisman, and sure enough, all human cultivators, until the corners of the world would receive the message. “Meng Li’s grave has been found, as well as her living son. However, due to an army of demons intervention the child has escaped”. This is what the message was.
This undoubtedly, cause a storm within the human cultivator’s world. Finding one of the traitor’s grave, would have priceless treasures that could boost any cultivators cultivation sky high. But, though that was tempting, everyone, has been focusing on the line “child has escaped”.
No one knew that the traitorous Meng Li, had conceive a child. Could the father be a human? Beast? Demon? No one knows, however they are sure that the child would be hiding boundless treasures and secrets.
Though, the human cultivators are in an alliance to fight back the Demons and Beast. Ultimately, in the end, they would care for their own countries and clan’s power. Knowing that a child of a powerful cultivator is out in the world, without any connection to any country or clan, proved to be more enticing than the grave itself.
Thus, a worldwide scale hunt began. All countries and clan, will hunt for the child, but they will hunt blind. As they do not know the gender or what the child looks like. The only one who can really give a perfect description of the child was Scarlett Phoenix, but will the Phoenix Clan, especially her father, make her reveal such information, and the other countries and clans should have second thoughts, if they want to get the information, the hard way.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
