Chapter 580: Reponsibilities (2/2)

They were not allowed to communicate with each other, lest they formulate a plan to escape their prisons and free the Devil Emperor. That isn't something that the sect could allow.

Therefore, the previous generations created a massive bewildering formation that releases a white fog that would prevent the minions of these prisoners from meeting. Additionally, the sect master would sometimes send the War Gods outside to search and eradicate them, thinning their numbers in order to slow down whatever plans they have.

The Sect Master must constantly visit this prisons personally to monitor the situation. There are times that they will fight back so the Sect Master should always come prepared and vigilant.

Amongst these prisoners, the most troublesome ones are the Seven Dark Disciples as they were the ones who managed to successfully break out of their prison once. It happened during the 5th generation, and almost spelled the end of the sect. Thankfully, they managed to control the situation and put them back to their prison.

However, the damage was already done. The Seven Dark Disciples managed to convert some disciples of the sect to worship the Devil Emperor, creating the first batch of the 'Exiles'. Somehow, these 'Exiles' managed to escape the sect and flee to the Divine Realm where they managed to blend with it's citizens, making the enforcers unable to track them down.

Aside from monitoring these Secret Realms. The Sect Master must also leave the sect every once and while to socialize with the other important people at the Divine Realm.

Although the sect is strong, it's only because of the support of the people who support their cause. These people are the ones who were willing to provide the sect with resources to continue functioning. It's a customary gesture to express gratitude by paying them a visit once in a while. This was usually done by the Sect Master but if there are important matters that he had to attend to, he could send a Envoy/War God to take his/her place.

Reading all of this, Raven was already feeling the stress. Unfortunately, the deed is done. He's already the Heir to the Sect Master's position so he could only smile wryly and rise up to the challenge.

”...or I could switch with the next Zeus, making him/her the next Sect Master and I the Grand Elder, that way I could relax instead. Hmm, that won't be a bad idea.” Raven thought deviously, making himself chuckle.

Now he could more or less understand why Alwina - wife of Lucas, always complained. The Sect Master position truly is incredibly stressful.

This is still just the beginning though. He haven't even touched up on the matter of handling the sect itself. Although he won't be managing it alone, he still remains the decision maker so it would just add on to the stress itself.

”There are still others ways like...” Raven murmured, ”I don't know...getting rid of the Devil Emperor's followers. I mean we already dealt with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. With the Heavenly Sacred Doctrine doing it's thing as well as the Chains of Order fortifying their seal, they could only dream about escaping.”

”If I could somehow replicate that effect to the rest, then I could lighten up the burden.” Raven thought, ”Well, that's if the Devil Emperor would stay put and let me do all of those things - which is something I heavily doubt would happen.”

”There's also this...” Raven picked up another document, this time relaying the overall plan to eradicate the devils once and for all. ”Not that I doubt our forces but this plan had many loopholes that the Devil Emperor could exploit.”

”So far, I still doubt that there are no spies within our rank. That just can't be. If there really is none, then I would seriously look down on the Devil Emperor. Well, there's still a possibility that there is none but I'm more inclined to believe that it at least planted one or two spies amongst our ranks.”

”I have to make sure to keep my eyes peeled. Just in case...” Raven's eyes narrowed upon the thought. As much as possible, he didn't want to hurt his own people but Raven's not the person who easily tolerates betrayals.

Raven sighed after reading through the documents and massaged his temples. He drank some tea to calm down, once he recovered from his exhausted state, he stood up and said:

”Okay, time to inspect treasures...”
