"What are you doing? Do the exercises properly! How are you going to be selected in the inner sect like this ! Hey you, that's not it, do it properly!" A man in the brown rob was shouting at some teenage kids while pointing out the mistakes in the exercise.
"Hah, the batch this year is so much worse than last year's" the man sighed heavily.
"Right? And here I thought that only I was the only one thinking that." The man standing beside the brown robed man said.
"Huh! You are still here? Weren't you asked to escort the pills and elixir to the alchemy hall?" asked the brown robed man.
"Ahh that! I finished it early in the morning, so I was just thinking of having a little rest before picking up the next task." said the man.
"Hmm! Since this is the case, how about having a good match with me?" Asked the brown robed man.
"Haha! Why not? You know, I just got some goods yesterday? It's said to be 19 years old, with that I am sure that it will be a good time." said the man while licking his lips.
"What! How did you get such goods?" asked the brown robed man with surprise.
"Huh! It's a business secret!" the man said proudly.
"What's so good about it? I got a good 26 years old. How about it?" said the brown robed man while showing his wide smile.
"What? You old goose finally taking out the treasures you have collected so far?" asked the man in doubt as if the man in front him was really the man he knew!
-----At the night -----
"Haha! Old man, you finally acknowledged that mine is better than yours !" A voice came loudly from the mountain cliff.
"What? I never said that" argued another voice.
"You should stop drinking it if it's not great! Hiccup!" said the voice.
"Why should I? Hiccup!" said the voice.
"I am curious! How did you manage to secure a 26-Year-old wine." asked the second voice.
"It's my father's, My family's business was to sell the wine before I came here." said the first voice.
The first one was the brown-robed man from before, while the second one was the latter one from before.
Both of them were enjoying the wine when suddenly a pillar of light rose from a distance and a ferocious energy filled the void. As if a sleeping beast was awakened ,the roar followed after the energy. The pillar of light shone in the night and the night was lit up with light like sun.
Many elders were going towards the pillar of light
The brown robed man and the second man went there as well.
In that pillar of light, A man was sitting majestically in the midair. After some time he opened his eyes. His eyes were like a sharp blade that could cut down all things like tofu.
"We greet the sect leader." all the elders cupped their hands and bowed towards the man.
The man just sat there scanning the crowd from above. Those eyes looking like nothing was worth noticeable, looking down on everything.
"Rise, elders" the man said with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to the sect leader for breaking through." said one of the elders while smiling.
"Congratulations, sect leader" another elder congratulated him.
"Congratulations sect leader for break through." said the elder who was in charge of the alchemy hall.
"Haha, third elder no need to be so formal, without you, I wouldn't have broken through so fast, without you, it would take around hundred more years." said the man while smiling brightly.
"Haha, I dare not take the credit my lord, it was your efforts that led you to break through." said the elder in charge of alchemy hall.
"Haha, you are still as humble as always." said the sect leader.
"Elder ning, prepare the hall for celebration of sect leader's break through." said the fourth elder.
"Yes, my lord" said the Ning elder.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
A man suddenly came and said something to the fifth elder, and his face changed to serious. "You, go and collect all the information about it." said the fifth elder.
"My lord, the nine hammered sect has attacked the southern mine." the fifth elder said.
"What? How daring of them! My lord, they have been trying to take our Southern energy mine for a long time, I think it's time that we take action." said the fourth elder.
"Yes my lord, they have been trying to infiltrate the sect and have been smuggling the energy crystals from the east mine as well." said the tenth elder aggressively.
"Gather all the elders and chief disciples, we will meet in the main hall in five minutes." said the sect leader.
"Yes my lord." said the elders.
After some time in the main hall,
"My lord, all the elders and chief disciples are here." said the second elder.
"Good, take the seats." said the sect leader.
"We have gathered here today for discussion about the nine hammered sect's attack on the southern mine." the sect leader started the discussion.
"My lord, it's best if we take actions, if we let it go they will become more courageous, then my lord we will lose a significant amount of our reputation." said one of the elders.
"I agree, we should take action sooner. Instead of waiting for them to actively approach us, we should take initiative to attack them and make sure that they know their place." said another elder.
"I agree as well my lord,it would be best if we take action sooner." said an elder sitting in the corner.
"I disagree, my lord, if we attack them then it will be an all out war, and it will damage the base of the sect. I think we should apply to the alliance for a solution." said an elder in the middle.
"I agree with the second elder, if we don't take action sooner than the reputation of the sect will be broken." said an elder in the front row.
"Then please vote, those who want to take initiative for attack and those who wish for the alliance solution please raise your hand respectively." said the sect leader.
Most of the elders and disciples were on the initiative to attack.
"Then it is decided we will commence the attack and take the initiative to take back the mine that belonged to us. After two days we will meet here again till then prepare for the attack." said the sect leader.
Everyone started to move, and the whole sect was on the move to attack and take back what belonged to them.
While everyone was preparing for the attack, a single person was observing all the activities in the dark.
"Looks like it's time. Prepare everything necessary." an unknown voice came from the corner, and then something moved from the shadows and vanished in the air.
Two days later, all the elders and chief disciples were in the main hall.
"My lord, all the preparations have been made. We are just waiting for your order."
"Very good, Tonight we will commence the attack." said the sect leader.
"Yes, my lord." said the elder.
"Have you prepared what I asked you for?" asked the sect leader to an elder secretly.
"My lord, it's been sent to your room." said the elder.
"Very good, when It is over you will be rewarded generously." said the sect leader.
At night,
The sect leader said, "My fellow sect members and elders, we have been trying to peacefully live in this place for almost two decades, but the nine hammered sect has been harassing us non-stop. Now it is time that we show the world that we are not some pushovers and fight back. Are you all with me?"
"My lord, we all are with you."
"Then Move and kill them, those who have contributed will be rewarded by the sect." said the leader.
"Divide in groups and attack them from all directions, do not let them escape." ordered one of the elders.
The disciples started moving out and attacked the nine hammered sect.
One of the groups in the front came to the gate and waited for the right timing. When the gatekeepers were turned back, the leader signalled them to kill them. The other members spread out and silently approached them and then 'slash' the gatekeepers were killed instantly.
"Attack them, do not spare a single one." shouted the leader.
Other groups started to kill the disciples instantly, there was no time for to fight back for the enemies.
"Enemy attack, It's the enemy attack, defend the sect and kill the intruders." shouted one of the disciples that caught his breath between the fight.
"What enemy attack! It's the soulless valley. The soulless valley has attacked us." one of the disciples recognized the attacker.
"Pass the word to sect master and elders hold till they come, Retreat in the defense formation." shouted another disciple.
All the disciples that were fighting started to retreat in the formation.
"Do not let them enter the formation, kill them." shouted the soulless valley's leader disciple.
In the inner sect,
"what !the soulless valley has attacked us ? Huh! Let them see that the defense formation we deployed." said one of the elders.
"My lord, the outer defense formation has been breached by them." said the informant.
"What? The outer defense formation was broken?when ?" Asked the elder in a panicked state.
"It was broken when they attacked us." said the informant.
"It means that there is a rat in the sect." a hoarse voice came from the throne.
"My lord what should we do?" asked the elders.
"We will find the rat afterward, now meet with the enemy and push them back. Pass down my orders, we will fight back." the hoarse voice was loud enough to echo the whole room.
"Obey the lord" all the elders followed the man.
"The lord came ,the lord has come down to protect us." The disciples were overjoyed.
"Fight back the lord has come to support us, kill the enemy." the disciples started to fight back.
"My lord, the sect leader of the soulless valley is no it's here." said the elders.
"He won't be here in a monkey fight. Don't worry, I will take care of him, you just push the others back." said the nine hammered sect's leader.
It was an all out war between the top two sects.
"Welcome, my friend,it's been a long time since we last fought with each other." said the leader of the soulless valley.
"Dou wan, how dare you break the law of alliance? On behalf of the alliance,I will give you punishment for breaking the rules." the leader of the nine hammered sect attacked.
"Haha, drop your pretending you think I don't know anything?" the leader of the soulless valley reflected the attack.
"Get away from the sect leader, this fight is not something we can interfere in."
It was a battle between two people who stood at the top of the pyramid of strength, like gods and demons, fighting for others'annihilation.
The void cracked and earth trembled as the battle carried on.
While they were fighting each other, a shadow was watching them from afar as if waiting for something.
