After a few hours, every single person recovered to some extent. With that, the movement back to the sect started.
The senior sister, Ji Ki'er, sent everyone through the teleportation array to the top floor. Now that the sect practically controlled the tower, there was not a single person who would dare to go against the words of a disciple.
I slowly moved towards Cai Lien. She also saw me, and I saw her expression change from tensed to relief.
"Thank god you are alive! I was so tensed! Are you an idiot? Why would you want to speak up against those people? Do you want trouble?" she chided me instantly.
"Well-"
"So this is the man that junior sister Lien is travelling with. It looks like my senior brother has nothing to worry about at all. He is nothing compared to the great number one of the inner sect." the man who was standing next to Yu Jinpeng, said.
I glanced at him with raised eyebrows.
"Do I know you? I don't think that I have ever offended you." I asked.
"You should stay away from junior sister Lien from now on. Or else, things will not be pretty for you. I trust that you know of Hong Jimin? From the great Hong family? He is the one who is destined for the fairy of the inner sect. You should just get away." he snarked.
"Is it? If I am not wrong, the one destined for her is someone else entirely. And that much is already written on paper. Now then, what are you going to do? Kill me? Kill a fellow disciple? I'd like to see how much you worship your senior brother, and to what length you would go for him." I smiled.
I was done hiding. I had enough power in my hands to kill him. I could buy some item now and use it as a life protecting talisman. So I had no reason to cower anymore.
"You should watch out for your back." he scoffed as he left.
"Are you an idiot? Why did you say that? Now, Hong Jimin is not going to leave you alone!" Cai Lien grabbed my hand.
"I have to get to the Inner sect at some point or the other. And if I want to get to the Core sect, then I will have to be better than any of the Inner Sect disciples. And for that, I need to be stronger than this Hong Jimin." I said.
"Those are lofty goals, child. I hope that you can achieve them." the third elder hovered behind me.
I looked back with surprise. I hastily bowed.
"So then. This is Liu Feng. The person that all of the elders in the sect are talking about. You are a really interesting person. The second elder, well, he is really upset that you are still alive, isn't he?" the third elder chuckled.
"I can see that not many remember the second elder and his... displeasure of me joining the sect. After all, I do not think that it is suitable for an elder to act against a mere disciple." I carefully chose my words, not letting any one know the true events that transpired.
"Fine then. But if you want to get to the Inner sect, then three days later is probably your best chance. Did you not know that? You are in the Core formation stage already. You are guaranteed a seat in the inner sect, practically. But time is running out. If you miss this chance, then you will have to wait, for another three years." the elder chuckled.
"Another three years? What?! Why does it take that long?" I was shocked.
"Because we accept disciples only once every three years, we also send the disciples who are worthy to the inner sect. Few from the new batch of disciples are ever truly strong enough to get to that stage. But I am interested in seeing who Liu Qian raised." the third elder chuckled.
"My foster father... If possible, can you tell me about him? It seems like he attended the sect before, and that he was very, famous." I asked.
"I still have to get the other set of disciples that are trapped on another floor by some formation. I think that I should get going. Why don't you go ask your father yourself?" the old man disappeared as quick as he appeared.
I looked back with disappointment.
"Again, I am met with a resounding no. Why does everyone hesitate in telling me what exactly happened? I should just ask mother. She will know." I decided.
I followed the mass and went to the teleportation array. It took us to the top of the tower. At the terrace, we could see the entire city beneath us. I could see the city lord's mansion was also right next to us, and it got me thinking.
"With such a powerful force right here, how the hell did the bandits come into the tower? Cai Yun'er must have done something." I thought to myself.
There was no one here except the people who came with me. The others left. And looking up, I knew exactly how.
Leaving was a huge monster with wings. It was terrifying, and it just showed me the true power that the sky heavens sect held.
Ji Ki'er appeared behind us through the teleportation array.
"Remember. The beasts that are here are not to be trifled with. Everyone must stay calm, and should not say a thing to the senior. And, show respect. They are doing you a favor. All of you will be having the honour of riding the majestic senior, Julong Feng, the silverback eagle." she said.
A screech froze us in our spot. And within our eyesight, a dot grew into a gigantic eagle.
"That is going to be our ride?"
