Where are the Profound Sect members? Dead? Lost? Or in some sort of trouble?
Hehehehehehehe~
The Profound sect has existed for thousands and thousands of years and has never missed any Provincial competition as one of the big 3.
They were always on time and have never had such a big delay as today's matter.
If they do fail to come, then their quotas would have to be reassessed and hurriedly given to any available disciples brought by the other powerful sects.
And wouldn't you know it? The Holy Fountain sect had brought 3 times more than the usual number they typically traveled with during these competitions.
Coincidence?
Anyone would be a fool to believe so. But without evidence, what can one do?
What's more, why should they take a quenching pill for someone's headache?
Translation: Why should they be concerned with someone's problems?
If it were in Chu Che's former world, people would say: 'Why should they take Advil for another person's headaches?'
Only those with friends and allies within the Profound Sect tightened their brows.
Besides... This was the world for the strong.
Don't mind that they all got together occasionally.
Some sects couldn't stand one another. And they secretly fought but dared not go overboard unless they were sure to completely obliterate the other.
They had to keep the balance to please the emperor since they were also subordinate under the same Tah province.
If quarrels and fights weren't going anywhere, the emperor would probably step forward for peace to reign.
But if one side annihilated the other, the emperor would only sigh, saying it was unfortunate, and that was that.
There were a lot of leeway for them to attack themselves. But bear in mind that the Emperor hated prolonged squabbles.
Do it and get it over with. Any log drags, and he would step in. This was why even those who hated each other had to put up a peaceful front.
Why? Because they weren't sure they could annihilate the other side.
The same goes for now.
Even though the Holy Fountain Sect had made a move against the Profound Sect, how dare they own up to doing so?
Unless all top elders, including the ancestor of the Profound Sect, were dead, they dared not show their victorious smiles.
Because after its known, word would spread to the Profound Sect. And who knows what sort of outbreak for revenge would get out?
They might be the number 1 Sect within the Tah Province. But even they knew their limits.
What's the point of fighting a battle that might cause them to lose over half of their elders?
After victory, they might reshuffle and push them down to the 4th or 5th most powerful, with over 2nd-tier sects taking advantage of the situation.
What if after the battle, these 2nd Tier sets join hands to eliminate them once and for all?
Ultimately, it was better to keep pretending and smiling with those in the Profound Sect than to show their horns and risk it all.
You think the ancestors and many before them were fools not to break the 'friendship' the sect had with the Profound Sect?
Heh... If you're going to do anything, do it well and hidden, with all loose ends tied.
Hmmm...
Everyone had different thoughts while flying through the scene.
Will the Profound Sect show up? Were they taken care of by other sects heading toward Yanging?
Who? Who were those responsible?
Think about it. With Yanging being so amazing and rich in qi, if they were to allow Cultivators to move on and settle so easily, the other provinces would've been empty by now.
One could visit Yanging with entrance fee money, but the time would be limited. At most, 6 months, after which they would be criminals if they were still there.
The only way to extend one's stay was to get accepted into any Yanging Sects or join a prestigious regime/order/organization.
But how could it be that easy?
Already, those in Yanging were far more gifted than those born in the other provinces because of the natural qi enriching not just the ground but the air.
Mothers breathing in during pregnancy, higher grade medicines, and other factors made them better once born.
How to say it?
Before meeting Chu Che, Bho Jin was in the early stage of the 4th Dan at the age of 16!
Now, that might've been shocking and impressive in the Tah province. But in Yanging Province, this was common and nothing to open one's eyes about.
To them, anyone who didn't reach the 4th Dan at 16 was Trash!
Some even reached the late stage of the 5th Dan at that age.
So what's the deal with praising Bho Jin so much?
That's it.
Nonetheless, they could take in Bho Jin because of his innate abilities. But everyone else who wasn't as blessed as Little Lulu or Bho Jin would have nothing to write home about.
Trash!
.
Yanging... Yanging... Yanging...
These were just a few reasons why 95% of those from other regions who try, fail to enter any establishment in Yanging.
They had no choice but to head back to their provinces and stay in their respective sects, hoping to have enough resources to catch up.
Bottom line, entering Yanging was complicated compared to joining the other provinces.
And just as there were quotas for competitions, there were also elder quotas given to each sect, allowing their elders to guide their chosen warriors.
Additionally, depending on the grade of the elder quota, the elders could bring in 1, 2, or even 3 disciples into Yanging.
But these lot won't participate in the competitions unless they have the Battle quotas.
So it was normal seeing elders bring in more disciples under their separate quotas.
At least if something went wrong, they could allocate battle quotas to those here.
With the Profound Sect missing, didn't it mean the Quotas others now had a chance?
Heh.
It was true that the Holy Fountain sect brought in more people than usual. But who is to say the downfall isn't caused by another sect that wanted to blame the matter on the Holy fountain Sect?
In such cases where everyone had extra people, it would be hard to pinpoint who was guilty in this matter, causing the Profound Sect to get 'delayed.'
But little did they know that their thoughts were all wrong!!!
And who was the true culprit who caused the chaos and 'delay' of these Profound Sect disciples?
