As Yan Chiling was one of the top masters, soon, all of these new disciples had gathered to his side. Before entering into the Main Sect, the new disciples were not allowed to form factions, but that was not the case after entering into the Main Sect. Now, they could form factions because if they didn’t, then they would most likely be bullied by the senior disciples.
Unlike the sub-schools, in the Main Sect, new disciples of would generally form factions as when they were in their respective sub-schools, they didn’t need to form factions because they would have to enter the Main Sect someday, but after entering into the Main Sect, things would change. The disciples would form factions, and years later, when these disciples would become true disciples, they would still have these factions. In the Yi Yuan School, there were many well-known factions, led by hundreds of true disciples, and excluding some true disciples who preferred to stay alone, almost all of the true disciples had their own factions with a powerful figure as the faction leader.
The current triennial assessment examination was a good opportunity to pull the cronies into the faction, as for the factions formed by the true disciples, they would only accept core disciples as the members and unless there was an extremely talented individual among the new disciples who had managed to impress them, it was highly unlikely for the new disciples to enter into those high-level factions.
Generally, these factions created by the new disciples were headed by star disciples like Ye Xiwen and Yan Chiling, but Ye Xiwen was not interested in forming a faction. Those true disciples would form factions and managed them themselves, but he was not at all interested in leading or managing other new disciples, so forming a faction was out of question.
Other new disciples of the Tongtian peak had sensed that Ye Xiwen was not interested in making a faction so they had flocked around Yan Chiling. In addition to Yan Chiling and more than two hundred disciples, among the new disciples, there was yet another group composed of foreign disciples, led by the yellow-robed disciple who had been beheaded by Ye Xiwen in the Huanmo territory. During these days, Ye Xiwen found out that his name was Huang Yilin, an outstanding disciple from Huang Yue Sect. It was considered a big clan, although it was not comparable to Yi Yuan School, but was still a tyrannical force.
As they said, it was easy to survive in a group!
“Now the two of us have entered into the Tongtian peak, later we may enter the same sect, so I would like Brother Ye to advise me.” Yan Chiling said, although Ye Xiwen was younger than him, but in this world, strong people would command respect, and Ye Xiwen’s strength was above him.
“That is, if in the future, we enter the same sect, then I would also expect mutual support.” Ye Xiwen said with a smile because he didn’t want to openly show his indifference as it would only invite new enemies.
“Right now, Brother Yan has become the leader of a lot of new disciples, which is quite amazing, when the time comes, I would expect a lot of help from you.” Ye Xiwen said with some ridicule for Yan Chiling, as he had a favorable impression for the guy, although he was somewhat sophisticated and shrewd, but in general, he was a fairly open and candid guy.
Yan Chiling wryly smiled and said: “It looks okay for now, but in few days, the faction of those senior disciples would come into action then things will start to get difficult for us. Brother Ye, to be honest with you, yesterday two factions of true disciples came looking for me. I just hope I can join them. “
“True disciples?” Ye Xiwen said in a startled manner.
“Well!” Yan Chiling nodded and a wry smile appeared on his face. These high level factions didn’t care about average new disciples, but Yan Chiling was definitely not an average individual, even if he was not as good as Ye Xiwen but he was powerful enough to impress the high level factions.
Ye Xiwen was silent for a moment. If the factions of those true disciples were trying to recruit new disciples, then it wouldn’t be good to refuse them!
“If I am not wrong, they will soon come to ask you, do you want to join their faction as well?”
