Multiple women materialized from blobs of darkness in front of a huge cave including "her". The Woman in the black gown , followed by multiple other women , all wearing black robs, entered the cave . The sound......tip......tip.....tip.....tip , of water falling from the roof of the cave..... was the only thing breaking this deadly silence. Soon they passed through multiple smaller caves and stood in front of .....what seemed to be a dead end . "The" woman in the front raised her index finger . From it came out a small strand of darkness . When it touched the wall , a intricate pattern formed . It had a snake in it's center , it was surrounded by a circle , then various snake like pattern covered the whole wall . Soon the wall turned into black goo and in between... an opening appeared. Everyone went inside it . If one would turn around , he would see that the wall again turned back to its initial state as if it has been standing for thousands of years but..... it is nothing more than a snake formation waiting for its prey.
Just ahead of them, there was a large spherical free space , as if they are not inside a cave at all. In center of it stood, a 5 storey tall ancient looking Palace . it was completely black, along with other small buildings. The pathway to it was illuminated by some purple crystals . Along with this , there were purple flowers covering the space between cave walls and the crystals . On both sides of the Palace, there were multiple smaller buildings perpendicular to the main building . Just in front of the Palace gate...stood two women, wearing the same black robes. On seeing "the" woman , both of them bowed , she went past them and entered the palace. On the first floor, there were multiple decent rooms ,probably living quarters. On second floor, there were racks.....full of scrolls and multiple women reading and exchanging them. There were multiple women sitting in front of tables writing something on them. On third floor there was a locked room guarded by two women . "The" woman stopped in front of it , the guards bowed and then one of the guard put a key into the gate . "The" woman took out another key from her spatial storage ring ,which was in a shape of coiled snake and inserted in the gate. Soon the gates jerked and opened . Only the woman entered the gate. In the room , one could see multiple weapons , scrolls , books , armors carefully and systematically put at their places . She moved forward , there was another smaller vault at the end .It was of some black metal . There were two dragons etched on its front ,intertwined with each other. The woman formed a formation in air , and moved it towards the vault. As it touched the dragons , the dragons started moving , soon they separated from each other and moved in opposite directions....the vault opened . Inside it there was only a transparent bottle , with some golden liquid in it . The woman took out the stone with snake pattern on it . The same stone, the City Lord handed to her . She then turned back , as soon as she left the vault , the door closed and the dragons flew towards each other , back to their original position . Soon she exited the treasury. The guards took out the keys and returned her key to her while bowing . She then moved to the fourth floor , it had a spacious hall and at the end of the hall , there was a , what seemed to be a throne at the far end. She moved ahead , climbed few stairs towards the throne and sat on it . The rest of the women kept standing in the hall . Sui, the woman with mask covering her lower half of face , spoke , Mother are we moving to next part of the plan? The woman on throne looked towards her and said , Indeed we are, but for the mean time , remain low for next 2 months . As soon as the emperor gets to know about the situation, he will definitely order the death whisperers to investigate it. We cannot handle them.....yet. Sui nodded and replied , we will do as you command Mother. Also....Mother have you decided about who will accompany you to the sect . The Woman slowly replied , Yes....I have . It would be.....Bingbing . Shock and worry could be seen on Sui's face , she asked, But Mother she is careless and too young . She can't even handle herself properly . So, Mother please rethink!!. The Woman with an explanatory tone replied, I understand your worry for me ,my child , but the sect Guardian can see trough the cultivation level easily . I can hide my own cultivation from him but even I..... can't hide your cultivation level from it . Only Bingbing has a low cultivation level that would pass the test requirements. Sui looked down , still hesitating . She sighed and said, Ok Mother....I will inform Bingbing , that idiot would be very happy to get out . The woman then asked them to leave . All of the women left the hall. The woman then stood up from the throne and then climbed to the fifth floor . It was her private residence. It had a large circular black bed , covered with curtains attached to the roof . She then turned left , it had a bathtub made of black jade . It was already full of hot water , evident by water vapors coming from it . She then took out her robes and put it on a hanger stand. Light coming from the window illuminated her white milky skin . She then slowly descended into the bathtub , her hairs covering her curves . She reached the end of the tub ,near the window . She looked out of the window and with a smile whispered....We will be meeting again......clumsy boy .
