Xie Fan: "This is our Phoenix Sect. Come with me, I'll take you to meet my master."
Xie Wang (with a gentle smile): "Many thanks, Sister Fan. I'm truly honored."
(Inner Voice): Hmph. A frog guiding a dragon. If only you knew your place — worm.

Xie Wang: Interesting…
(Inner Voice): Rare here? Pathetic. Still, it's enough to melt some pigs while I grow stronger.
Xie Wang: System… this 'current realm'? Are there others?
System: Yes, Master. This is the lowest.
(Inner Voice): Perfect. Then I'll crush this one beneath my heel and climb over its ashes to the heavens.

🌙 That night...
Disguised by illusion, Xie Wang crept into Xie Fan's room. His expression was calm — yet in his eyes, a storm brewed.
System: Master, what brings you here?
Xie Wang (smiling coldly): Entertainment. It's time to break something.
(Inner Voice): Her spirit, her hope — her everything. Tonight, she learns who truly rules this realm.
Xie Wang: System, how many points will I earn for crushing her inner spirit?
System: 500 Evil Points, Master. She is weak.

She awoke, groggy — tied to a chair. Before her stood a cloaked man, face obscured.
Xie Wang (gently): Awake, little phoenix?
(Inner Voice): Scream. Beg. I want to taste your despair.
Then came the torment.
Finger by finger, cut slowly. Her shrieks echoed within the sealed room. The pain — unbearable. Yet every time she fainted, Xie Wang healed her just enough to keep her awake.
Xie Wang (softly): Not yet. We're not done.
(Inner Voice): I want your soul to beg for death. Only then will I smile.
Next, her toes, her legs — one joint at a time, torn, sliced, shattered. He corrupted her Qi flow with dark energy, sealing her cultivation completely.
When her body was nearly destroyed and her spirit fragile, he smiled.
Xie Wang: Let's give you a proper burial.
He dragged her to the Monster Cave, where beasts driven by madness feasted on her shattered form. Before she lost consciousness, he dropped the disguise — revealing his true face.
Tears welled in her eyes. Then… she passed out.

Xie Wang (grinning wide): Delicious... Watching her crumble was divine.
System: Congratulations, Master. You've earned 2000 Evil Points.
Xie Wang: Hmph? You said only 500.
System: I underestimated your methods. The cruelty exceeded projected limits. You broke her physically, spiritually, and exposed her to humiliation. Bonus points were added automatically.
Xie Wang: As it should be. I don't do things halfway.
System: Master now qualifies for the Soul-Binding Slave Mark. Cost: 2100 Evil Points.
Xie Wang: And what does it do?
System: Once branded, the target becomes a loyal slave — completely obedient. Any evil they commit under your order also grants you Evil Points.
Xie Wang: A walking puppet that feeds me power… Heh. This mark is worth every point.

🩸 And so, under moonlight and blood, the Phoenix Sect unknowingly sheltered a devil — a smiling demon in human flesh, whose shadow would one day eclipse the heavens themselves.
