Chapter 30 - The Last Sword Sect [3] (1/2)

Ju Feng, alongside his mother and grandparents, arrived at the entrance of the Last-Sword sect premises. It was the day the Last-Sword sect officially set for their admission, with the teaching and learning process to start the following day. There were two sect acolytes standing in front of two metal golems, welcoming and directing the new disciples what to do and where to go.

Several minutes later, after his time delaying conversation with his mother and grandparents, he finally bade farewell to them. Upon entering the sect premises, he noticed that the monolith was no longer there, but took in the sheer size of the area.

Heavens tears!

How did he forget about the utter size of the premises of this sect? Probably due to the fact that he had only entered once before, and that was the day of the trial when he had been too anxious to notice everything. But now, he actually had the chance to observe it keenly, and it was extremely big. Hundreds of miles in size, covering mountains, hills and valleys.

Entering the premises, Ju Feng was directed towards the main hall by the acolytes who were having a good, but busy day. He was very apprehensive by the time he reached the main hall since it was the first time he would be living away from home. He was feeling the anxiety of missing his family, but was acting relaxed on the outside. Ju Feng knew he had to maintain his inner peace after remembering the words of his grandfather.

”Who was not everyday conquering some fear had not learned the secret of life.”

He would pretend he had been doing this since he was born. Since he was born? That didn't really sounded sane, but still sounded good. He would take these words. When he reached the main hall, he was sent in the direction of the acolyte scribe who was scribbling on a parchment.

”Your identifications badge.”

”Yes, senior. Here it is.”

Ju Feng presented his badge, and his identity was confirmed.

”You will need to swear the blood oath of allegiance, of justly fair actions, and of good conduct and behaviour. If this bode well with you and you accept, we will proceed. If not, you may turn back now, and forget about this.”

”Blood oath?”

Ju Feng paused for a second to think about the oath of blood. He would forever be bound to any blood oath taken. But after thinking about the words included, he nodded.

”Okay, if those are the words involved, I can live with that. I accept.”
