"Rock" Luo Rei said nervously, her voice had a hint of anxiety as she saw the watchful eyes of all the outer disciples aimed towards her direction, well, it was more like the countless wary eyes were centered onto one person, which was Luo Ren.
'Woooooooosh'
Rock waved his hands and summoned the same pressure-like technique to the annoying surrounding spectators that buzzed in all different shades of colour to quiet down.
Whether they were jealous, afraid, hostile, or there to just watch the show, even those that were minding their own business weren't spared from Rocks' influence.
"What is this? I can't move"
"Which expert has come? Don't they know the Sect Rules, the outer disciples can't be bullied like this..."
"I...I ca...can't bre...breathe!"
"Who cares, let just bow and apologies, before running off!"
"Let's run, it seems that Luo Ren already has a strong backing right now!"
Rock released his nightmarish pressure that sent these outer disciple trembling on their knees.
As soon as they felt the pressure veiling upon them removed, they bowed towards Davids group, and scrammed far away out of sight.
The once bustling area of the outer sect was now desolate, still, there were some brave disciples staying hidden under cover, watching David's group from afar.
Each of these disciples were spies from different powers, whose goal were to follow and trail behind the group, to keep an eye out for Luo Ren.
These respected powers all just want one thing, the second stage of the Twelve Heavenly Ghost Star Streaking Mantis Steps of the Immortal Gods movement technique.
It just seems that they all have though of different ways to milk that knowledge out from Luo Ren.
Some wanted to coerce him with benefits that even an expert couldn't say no to.
Some wanted to capture him in secret, torture him, make him spit out the knowledge. and once they do so, they will discard him for no longer having any use.
And some, like the Jings, will try to use the word family, just to lure him into their home.
All in all, there were hundreds of method for them to use to get Luo Ren to spit out the secret, though none dared of having any thought of using Luo Rei as hostage as one of their plays, since the triplets father is still alive.
Invoking Luo Han's wrath wouldn't be worth it for the culprits as it would spell the end of their entire family and all nine generations.
Except, that there were rumours of Luo Han, the Sect Leader of the Divine Relic Sect, was suffering from a curse and is dying soon...
This is exactly what they call, a heaven sent opportunity.
Anyone who would get a hold of the lighted torch, a unique sign of champions and winners by gaining monopoly on the second stage of the Twelve Heavenly Ghost Star Streaking Mantis Steps of the Immortal Gods technique, will become the top dogs of the mountain overnight.
In the past, shift in powers were very common, but not enough in evoke a bloody war between multiple powers.
The seat of Sect Leader has changed hands many times, but each major family at least once, did have a taste of that power at some point in time in the tens thousands of years that flew by as quicly as a burning candlestick.
Some major clans have fallen, some has risen, some went into hiding, biding their time to stage a comeback.
But this is true for all, whether you are in a major clan or not, whoever holds the position of Sect Leader, takes control of the whole City, and it's army.
There are 6 Major Clans situated in Suuinsong City.
The Luo's, they have taken the most collected seats of 'Sect Leaders' in the entire history of the the Divine Relic Sect. They mostly dabble in relics, appraising, weapons and armoury business, and host the most popular Auction club in the entire city, called the Divine Auction House.
The Jing's, they are famous for warfare and violence, they host the number one mercenary guild in the entire city. They also hold acres of spiritual farm lands and dabble in exporting and importing goods all over the country.
The Sun's are a really wealthy family, they pride themselves as the number one appraisers, despite having nearly everyone in the Divine Relic Sect learning how to appraise all different manner of items.
Divine Relic Sect main tutelage is related to relics, but in-spite of that, the Sun's have really taken the number one spot. That is, if your not counting Luo Han the Sect Leader, whose dreams was becoming the number 1 relic hunter in the world, except no one knew this, and since Luo Han had always kept silence to himself, no one knew his talent regarding appraising except his father, the current Grand Elder of the Sect.
The Dong's are a family of that major in spears, they can be the ultimate fighters if talented, though in this era, the Dong family has developed fewer cultivators in the 'way of the spear' to a high realm.
Dong Ki, the current patriach of the Dong Clan, and the Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Relic Sect is said to have excellent spearmanship, and that his strength is only second to Luo Han.
They say that his attacks are vicious like vipers and as poisonous as snakes, his maneuvers are tricky and deadly, and that his enemies all die with a puncture in their throats.
Dong Ki likes to secure a sure kill, finding his enemies weaknesses, and cutting through for the kill shot like a hot knife in butter.
The Xei's are very mysterious, they are the newest Major Family that came from an ordinary mountain. They say that the current patriarch was just an ordinary villager, who found an inheritance and fought his way up to the top.
A true self made man. But he is one that doesn't communicate or connect with outsiders easily.
The Kuzou's are fairly powerful in Qi cultivation, but in return, their body cultivation is very weak due to their mysterious bloodline. They say that the trade is worth it when you have a clan library full of Qi cultivation manuals.
The Kuzou's are arrogant when it comes to Qi control and power, but suffers harsh penalty when it comes to hand to hand combat as their bodies are built like twigs.
All six major clans, plus many more outsiders, are after Luo Ren and his secret.
Whoever is the one to snatch the secret first and if they successfully take full monopoly on of the technique, then they would perhaps permanently stay at the top of the mountain as king for all eternity.
Luo Ren had no way predicted how wild it could get, but he had to expose his secret, and use the second stage of the strong movement technique to run away from the cultivators back then..
If not, the ancient spiritual relic that apparently has a soul, 'David,' would had died then and there under the angry guise of Jing Bai and the surrounding disciples following his lead.
This incident has attracted an unstoppable calamity.
It was like a toad harboring a treasured jade, but was discovered by greedy humans, and the next thing you know is that they are pouring oil down his well, then lighting up the match and laughing at the misfortune of the burning toad while reaping the benefits.
No matter how high that toad jumped, he could never escape the well and could only succumb despair as the blazing fire flood his whole being.
But, it would had been an entirely different story if the toad had wings.
Luo Ren had just barely sprouted wings, and using them to soar the starry sky is a whole different matter, it is up to him to make that decisions to fly towards the heaven.
And that journey does not come with hardship.
The toad, if given wings still has to resist the high temperature of the burning heat, avoid catching fire, ascend upwards and deal with the greedy humans treasuring his jade.
The toad could do many things at this point of time, but the decision and outcome should pave way for him to be flying up into the heavens, rather then getting beat down and returning to the fiery well from whence he came.
Luo Ren is the same, he can't depend on luck, or wait for a saving grace in the form of an angel, who is holding a bucket of water that can put out the fiery blaze.
Because without dealing with the situation himself, the same thing would happen again and again and again.
What he needs is ride the waves of momentum, grow stronger, stronger then everyone going after him, so he can dictate his own future, so that he can look down on everyone from the sparkling stars deep in the heavens, and never be put in that position again.
The group quickly moved on, and although the sect may be extremely large, they quickly left the outer sect area and traveled towards the main entrance of the sect which host the access points between the Sect, and Suuinsong City.
+ 1 Mile Points
+ 1 Rider EXP (Luo Ren)
The Divine Relic Sect only has one opening, which is situated at the very from of the sect, a gated entrance which called the Ying Yang Gate since it is divided into two colours horizontally, 'black and white' the gate is also protected by two guards.
The whole sect is protected by a top 3rd tiered formation in case of an intruder attack, but in the face of an all out attack, it won't hold forever, but at least it will by the sect time to properly react.
There is another way in, if you have a core disciple tablet, with it, you can ignore the borders of the formation, and easily walk right through.
With a core disciple tablet, you can also fly a flying ship in and out of the formation, and the city, which is why everyone is envious of that position.
"Halt! Reveal your identity" One of the entrance guard with a mole on the tip of his nose said in a nonchalant expression.
"Are you two perhaps Luo Ren and Luo Rei?" The other guard, with a thick black mustache said with an unsure expression.
"Ah, ye...yes, that is us" Luo Rei said with a force smile, her breathing was very rough but she tried to hide it.
"We're sorry for blocking you two on your way out, young master and young mistress" The mustache guard said.
"Ok" Luo Rei didn't want to talk very much, her whole body was sweating like a pig sty.
Her dress sported a giant armpit stain in both arms, her hair was messy and wet, her makeup was smudging up, and her breathe was as heavy as a whale on sand.
She couldn't control her breathing properly, her legs trembled and her heart was beating as quick as a hummingbird.
Just a small walk that took less than an hour, had gotten her tired, they even descended downhill but it still was too much for her to bear.
Though she tried to act strong as she kept her back straight and marched right on out of the gate entrance, and into the streets of Suuinsong City.
"Why did you let them go? You know that there are rules in place for outer disciples, they can't easily exit the sect with free will, to leave they either need to be on a sect mission, or carry a leave pass" The guard with a mole said to the other guard in a tone of anger.
"What do you know? I know you are new here, but do you even know who they were? They were Luo Ren and Luo Rei" The mustached guard said in annoyance.
"I know their names but those two can't be them, wait..."
"Yes, they were them, Luo Rei, the big fat girl, is the favoured daughter of the Sect Leader, plus she isn't even a disciple of the sect. I don't know why but the Sect Leader has given her free pass to access everything in the sect, though Luo Rei doesn't really take advantage of this god sending perks. Sigh I envy her, she has the most free will out of everyone, but what does she do with that... And then there is Luo Ren, you must of heard of him and his history?" The mustached guard said while sighing out loud.
"Yes, who hasn't heard of him... But was that young man really the Luo Ren? I have seen Luo Ru once, and between them, the difference is like heaven and earth, Luo Ren aura is really mortal, but now that I mentioned it, his face is shockingly similiar, I didn't see his face until they left, I was more focused onto the big scary guy at the back, anyway, whats the deal with that big man following the two Luo's" The mole guard said in confusion, while reminiscing his past memories of Luo Ru.
"That is Rock, geez man you should really study and memories peoples faces, lest you accidentally offend one of them. I'll just tell you this, Rock is a core disciple and an orphan, he was saved by Luo Han when was young, but I guess he feels that he owes the Luo family deeply if he chose to bodyguard that woman, Luo Rei."
"Don't you wonder what the personal story behind the Luo Family is? They all seem so strange, especially the triplets, sigh, I was just thinking about Luo Ren and how he was bullied a lot, some of the guards also participated in the bullying, I bet they deeply regret their actions. I'm just thankful that I didn't make a move onto him in the past, Luo Ren must have a long list of names he'd like to take revenge on" The mustache guard said clicking his teeth.
"Ah, yes that's true, I just hope that there won't be bloodshed's in the future... Ah why are there multiple people coming here? Halt! Reveal your identity!"
"Oh here is my identity tablet" A bold headed monk like cultivator wearing an inner sect robe, said while a hold red mysterious bone beads bracelet.
