Just like how some in the sect did not view each other positively, others with similar inclinations would group together. The formation of cliques in a sect was a foregone conclusion.
Cliques could be said to be both good and bad. They had to analyzed in greater depths.
Since the first sect-opening ceremony, the newly-joined disciples congregated around Xu Yunsheng, Li Xingfei and Liu Xiafeng. That was the first step to the formation of cliques.
Then, after Lin Feng’s disciples started their own abodes and took in the second-generation disciples, many new disciples had to study day-and-night under their master. As they grew closer, their views of each other became more objective and hence, they started to discover flaws with one another. On the other hand, they also found it easier to group together as they would feel a greater sense of belonging and honor.
Other than that, there were also abodes that got along better with one another.
