My name is Shi Tian, I had joined the Qianli sect as an Inner disciple a year ago and had recently been selected as a direct disciple, throughout the year I was bullied by my senior and felt aggrieved
One day I was walking along the path to go to the training grounds when I saw an outer disciple who had fallen over due to heatstroke, when I tried to help him up Senior Via had seen me and rushed over yelling "have at me and taste my beatings of justice!"
Afterwards he proceeded to beat me for no reason and was even later on applauded by the other disciples for his heroic action
This didn't happen only once or twice, it happened so often that even if I so much as glared at another disciple the wrong way he would come rushing over
Me and the other inner disciples had grown a new phobia toward him and had become extremely paranoid that he may be watching us from around the corner and the moment we slipped up and gave him an excuse to beat us he would rush forward
Unfortunately he was much stronger than us and we couldn't do anything as we had only recently learned martial arts
But now things were different, because of our thirst for revenge we had trained ourselves without rest and almost all the inner disciples had become Apprentice Jin rank
"tonight we strike!"
The leader of our resistance group spoke as he threw his dagger and stabbed it into the portrait of Senior Via as everyone laughed maniacally
Today was the day we exact our revenge, we had gathered over 30 inner disciples each had their own grievances against him
What started out as a therapy group slowly became a secret assassination organization with only one target in mind, that evil, despicable Senior Via
We grabbed our weapons and donned black clothes and masks with markings that said "Die Via" or "make Qianli great again" and slowly crept through the darkness of the night towards his courtyard
We heard the faint sound of a flute playing coming from his courtyard as we saw a figure sitting in his favorite spot playing the flute
An evil grin appeared on our faces as we pulled out a sack made of Iron Snake skin and bagged him, we had been training in silent martial arts for an entire year to the point that even some of the weaker elders had trouble detecting us
We were overjoyed at how easily the operation had went through as we dragged and beat him on our way back to the base
We threw the sack in a cage made of black iron to make sure he wouldn't escape and woke him up with a bucket of water
To our surprise the man that crawled out of the sack in a sorry state happened to be Elder Chang who was in charge of finances of the sect, with tears and snot he spoke in an aggrieved manner
"why me"
Our first attempt was unsuccessful as Elder Chang had come to visit Seniors Via as a fellow musician to play the flute together, but we are always waiting, we are always watching, and the moment Seniors Via least expects we will strike!
But for now we must scatter before the Elder discovers our identity
