For those senior disciples, this was none other than trying to get more members for their faction, by hook or by crook. But as far as these new disciples were concerned, this was a matter of life and death.
These new disciples were considered the outstanding top disciples in their respective sub-schools, and after coming to the Main Sect and training in this new favorable environment, it was only a matter of time when they would be able to catch up with those senior disciples in terms of cultivation level and strength.
So no one was willing to join someone else’s faction and become the bottom members, just to be ordered around by them.
So when Yan Chiling, a top disciple among them, wanted to draw them in and form a faction, they would naturally be willing to do so.
“Now they have blocked the gate, forcefully asking us to surrender the monthly compensation, which is simply going too far.” The disciple said and clenched his teeth.
Basically, the senior disciples were forcing them to either disband their new faction, or they would be crushed forcefully. No matter which option they chose, it was not going to produce a good result.
In the hearts of these new disciples, Yan Chiling had already taken place as the leader of their faction, and naturally, Ye Xiwen was already the core of their confidence, although Ye Xiwen had not publicly pulled anyone into the faction, but everyone knew about his incredible strength, and also knew that he would definitely back them up if something happened.
Ye Xiwen said: “I will go and take a look.”
He was also related to this matter, after all, he was also one of the disciples who had been charged with paying a monthly compensation and how could he just sit back and let them take his hard earned monthly salary, which was also the source of his quick progress.
Sooner or later, he would have to get involved so why shouldn’t he get involved now itself!
“If Brother Ye is going to come in action then there certainly won’t be any problem.” The disciple said in an overjoyed tone, but he originally knew that Ye Xiwen would definitely lend a helping hand to them, after all, before, he had always shown a righteous nature and that disciple was well aware of that. Also, he knew that Ye Xiwen was not interested in forming or joining a faction, so if he got to know that senior disciples were trying to forcefully recruit members then he would naturally react.
Ye Xiwen followed the disciple out of his own small courtyard. Only the new disciples, who had arrived this year, lived in the freshmen courtyard, and although the inner disciples controlled the courtyard but the outer disciples also lived in the same courtyard. There was no separation between the housing of inner and outer disciples, and the new disciples had no choice, because only after becoming core disciples, they would be able to choose a place to live. Until then, all of them would have to live together in the same courtyard.
After coming out of the courtyard, he saw the crowd of many new disciples concentrated at the intersection, and they were being led by Yan Chiling.
At this time, Yan Chiling had an unsightly complexion, because ten senior disciples were blocking the intersection. There were indifferent looks on the faces of these senior disciples while they were looking at the new disciples, and their leader was a black-robed youth who looked approximately twenty-five-year-old. He stepped forward and said: “I won’t waste any time on nonsense, I give you two options, first, each of you hand over your monthly salary as compensation, second, disband your faction!”
The words of this senior disciple aroused the anger of the new disciples, after all, this was no different than cornering all of them.
“We know that you are doing this just to corner all of us!” A new disciple said angrily.
