Chapter 465 - 465 Sect rules and Factions
After he finished speaking, Elder Zhuan took out a small, golden-colored token from his robes that looked almost identical to the token that Shun Long and the rest had obtained during the third test, and held it in his hand before he said seriously
''The token that you obtained during the third test of the sect is your sect identification token. If you inject your qi inside it now, you will become the owner of the token.
Remember, your sect identification token is extremely important. Every time you accept a mission in the Assignment hall, or when you compete in faction wars and faction rankings with other disciples, you will need your sect identification token.''
''Faction wars? Faction rankings?''
Shun Long and the rest of the disciples around Elder Zhuan were confused, but Elder Zhuan simply smiled as he started to walk forward, almost as if he was touring through the sect, while he continued explaining
''The rules of the sect are very simple. No matter what, you are not allowed to cripple or kill a fellow disciple. If there is an irreconcilable feud between you and another disciple, you are allowed to fight in a deathmatch in the arena, if both disciples are agreeable to it. However, if one disciple doesn't agree, the deathmatch will not take place.
If anyone is caught killing or crippling another disciple of the sect in secret, there will only be one outcome for that person regardless of his talent or status... death!''
As he said those words, Elder Zhuan turned around and stared at the disciples behind him while the look in his eyes had turned cold, obviously having no tolerance over those who didn't adhere to the sect's rules.
Seeing that the disciples in front of him all had solemn looks on their faces, the white-robed Dao King's expression slightly eased, as he turned around and continued touring through the sect, while he continued his explanation
''At the same time, if you are caught fighting with other disciples outside of the arena, both parties will be temporarily detained by disciples of the 'Enforcement hall', before the sect figures out who instigated the fight. If there are any other issues, they will also be dealt with by the disciples of the enforcement hall.
Now... it's time for you to understand how the sect truly works.''
As he finished speaking, Elder Zhuan suddenly halted his steps as he arrived in front of an enormous building, where hundreds of outer disciples were coming and going in it at all times.
Raising his head, Shun Long saw 2 words plated in gold right above the building's entrance, 2 words that actually exerted pressure to anyone who laid their eyes on them
''Assignment hall''
Turning around, Elder Zhuan stared at the disciples behind him before he said with a smile on his face
''This is one of the most important buildings throughout the entire sect, the Assignment hall. This is where you will be allowed to obtain missions, both those that are issued from the sect, or those issued by other disciples.
Any disciple can issue a mission, and as long as you pay enough of a price, there will be other disciples who will accept it.
As disciples of the sect, you need to complete at least one yellow-rank mission every 3 months, or 4 yellow-rank missions within a year. You can choose to complete all 4 missions together if you want to keep cultivating without being bothered by the sect for a whole year. However, if you keep cultivating in seclusion inside the sect without completing the missions, the disciples of the Enforcement hall will come and detain you.
As for the missions' rankings, you will understand everything once you enter the Assignment hall later on.''
As he said this, Elder Zhuan actually didn't enter inside the Assignment hall, but he continued walking forward almost as if he was taking a stroll, while he continued explaining
''Now, as you are all newly promoted outer disciples of the sect, it's time for me to explain the most important thing to you, the Faction rankings, and Faction wars.
Every single disciple in the sect has to enter a faction if they want to participate in the faction rankings and obtain more resources from the sect aside from the mission rewards.
'What are factions?' you will ask.
They are groups of disciples inside the sect that form a team which fights together, and even completes missions together.
There are many big and small factions inside the sect, and all of them fight in faction wars to get to the top of the faction rankings.
The factions at the top of the rankings in the outer court not only get to obtain lucrative rewards from the sect, but they even have a chance to fight some inner disciples' factions and get a chance to become inner disciples as well.
The moment that he finished his words, Elder Zhuan arrived in front of a large tablet that was filled with a hundred names.
Staring at the top of the tablet, Shun Long saw 2 big words that were written there, and yet the aura they emitted wasn't inferior to the words on top of the Assignment hall
''Faction Rankings''
First place: Yang Hui's faction
Second place: Qiao Min's faction
Third place: Dong Cheng's faction
The moment that his eyes landed on the words 'Faction Rankings', Shun Long's gaze was immediately attracted by the 3 biggest words that followed after them... the top 3 factions.
Elder Zhuan's lips curved up into a smile when he saw everyone's eyes focused on the top names of the faction rankings, before he continued
''These are the strongest factions made by the strongest geniuses of the outer court. Each one of them is actually not inferior to many strong inner disciples of the sect. Although all of you are talented enough to become outer disciples of the sect, these people are the true 'kings' of the Faction Rankings.''
