A Failure's hopeful Journey

Celestia and Lily departed with Robert and You Xi Wang followed them in the sky. The boy would just not let them go to the enemy's den alone. Although they had Maya to guard them. He was not relieved. 

Maya was a newly transformed beast and her control was not that refined yet. The car traveled on the road for five hours before they reached the town where Celestia lived. The road they took was the same one that leads to the Sahasa town. Celestia's town was a few miles before that. 

Robert was about to take the car inside when Celestia said, "Uncle Robert. Please stop here. We have things to do." 

Robert stopped the car and asked, "Young Miss, shall I escort you?" 

Lily said in her sweet voice, "No need, Uncle Robert. Sister Maya is coming along with us. Also, do you not know, how talented we are?" the reason they called Maya sister was that she was stronger than them and they treated her like family, not a pet.

Robert smiled and said, "Very well then, but please feel free to call me if you need to." 

You Xi Wang had already told him the situation so the man was worried. He has seen You Xi Wang grow up and he has also seen these two kids grow, but they were still too young. The three girls got down the car. 

Lily said, "Sister Maya, can you hide in the shadow? Let us deal with things and if we have any difficult situations, then only you come out." 

Maya did not like to speak much so with a not she vanished in the shadows. Celestia raised the holo phone, they had uplinked to LUCY on their devices, she said, "LUCY, the target is still in the vicinity?" 

The AI directly showed her the map of the abandoned graveyard. Celestia and Lily exchanged a glance and walked inside the town. They had marked the targets in red, while the other living were marked in yellow. The plan was to approach the abandoned graveyard, unseen. It would have been difficult if the town was bustling with activity. 

Due to the presence of the Dark Dwellers, the place was desolate. The maidens walked around and avoided the presence and eyes of any human. Suddenly, Maya stopped in front of a ruined house. Lily asked, "Your home?" 

Celestia replied "Old home. Lily, I want to kill that guy, but he must die here. In front of everyone, as he did to my family. I want it to be the same." Her tone was calm but for the first time, her eyes were brimming with hatred. 

Lily patted her shoulder and said, "Hatred blinds wisdom. Open when you are calm can you imply what you think." 

Celestia took a deep breath and closed her eyes, she recalled some memories and her heart calmed down. Then they moved to the abandoned Graveyard. It took them twenty minutes to circle the town and come to the place. They did not go inside a certain range. 

Lily said, "He might be able to sense us within two hundred meters range." 

Celestia checked the map and said, "The cemetery is five hundred meters in diameter. He is in the central part so give or take the range of detection must not exceed three hundred meters on the safer side." 

Lily nodded and said, "Spirit Rune array will need us to go close to them." 

Celestia said, "We use Level five, everchanging illusion array. Desolate sword killing array. However, he must not die. The rest I do not care." her voice was calm. The intentions were controlled. 

Lily nodded and said, "I will control the killing formation, you control the illusion." 

Celestia nodded and said, "Let's do it." 

The two little girls crouched and entered the cemetery. They had to arrange two different arrays, so they had to do it in two different ranges. Celestia was on the outer circle as they needed the bigger illusion array. She was on the four hundred meter range. 

A cultivator can easily sense movements even if they cannot pick up the spiritual movements at such a range. The two girls were trained by You Naixin in assassination techniques a long time ago? They could blend their movements with nature, breathe in sync with the blowing wind. They had no smell on their bodies. So even if the wind was to blow against their bodies their scent will not be picked up by the enemy. 

You Xi Wang was watching all this from the sky. He nodded as he saw them moving. He did spot a few loopholes but they will have to fix it up by themselves. After they finished circling around and setting up the arrays the two girls regrouped. 

They exchanged a glance then, with a nod. They began to manipulate the arrays. 

...

The butter and his cronies were all wearing black cloaks as they sat in the center of the cemetery. They were the leftovers of the Death Sect. They cultivated here in secret and did not dare to make much noise. The council was now hunting dark dwellers like anything. They were just a few leftovers and did not have the strength to contend against the council forces. 

So they hid here, after all, life in hiding was still life. The butcher was sitting in the center, immersed in cultivation when suddenly a booming noise woke him up. 

"YOU ALL SHALL PERISH, SINNERS." 

The butcher was awakened from his deep cultivation all of a sudden, this caused him to suffer a backlash and vomit a mouthful of black blood. The next moment a sword intent flashed and one of the three cronies bloomed into a blood flower, as his head flew up in the sky.

Celestia was responsible for the loud voice while Lily had timed the sword attack perfectly. The enemy did not have time to react at all. The injured butcher said, "Enemy attack. Be careful." 

His voice was very loud, but as soon as his words dropped the second goon lost his limbs. 

The loud voice sounded again, "SCUM, FEEL THE PAIN." 

The voice was so loud that it made the two dark dwellers shake. They did not know where the attack came from, they could not even react to the attack let alone sense it. The butcher was scared, and said, "Escape." 

Living was the most important thing for him. Celestia controlled the array, another sound echoed. 

"DARE TO FLEE, RATS."

Lily controlled the array and another sword ray slashed. The slash landed on the back of the goon behind the Butcher. The method was so vicious that it dissected the goon diagonally from the left shoulder to the right tail bone. His upper body fell while the lower body tripped over the cut-off torso and fell to the ground with a thud.

The Butcher did not care about anyone at the moment as he flee forward. He saw a figure flashing in front of him. He changed his direction and rolled to the left on the ground. He ran for another hundred meters but none of the attacks came. He was confused but did not dare to stop. He soon came out of the illusion array as well. 

The butcher was surprised to see a little girl wearing black and red battle armor in front of him. He used his left hand to rub his eyes, when he confirmed that the girl was actually standing in front of him, rage took over him. No matter how dumb he was, he was able to figure out that this girl was responsible for everything. 

He roared, "You little bit.." 

Before he could finish his words, his body froze, and the next moment, Celestia flashed from the front of him, she appeared next to him. She took out the knife given by You Xi Wang and stabbed it in the dantian of the cloaked figure. 

The Butcher could only feel his strength seeping through his stabbed abdomen and nothing much. Lily walked out from behind him. Earlier, when she had finished killing the last goon, she had begun to condense a sealing spirit rune. Celestia was the one who bought her the last crucial second by creating the illusion of an obscure figure in front of the butcher. 

When the butcher stopped as he watched Celestia in front of him, that was when the rune was complete and she cast it on the target from behind a tombstone. She cleverly hid before. The rune sealed all the movements of the guy, before he could figure out how to break the rune, Celestia had already stabbed his dantian making him a useless waste. 

After the sealing rune wore off the two girls had already restored their energy with a spirit rejuvenation pill. They were not strong enough to support such a big complicated task for long. They used the element of surprise and settled it all within five minutes. 

Celestia looked at the butcher lying on the ground whimpering like an injured puppy, and said, "Sister Maya. Can you help me drag him back to my old home? Lily, call over the townfolks."

The moment of revenge had come.
