Chapter 14：Training (1/2)
In the Sky Precepts sect, the Head elder Han was cultivating in his residence in silence when his communication jade hummed. He opened his eyes and touched the jade to know what message he received. The message was from the head disciple of Star catching peak.
'Hmm, more spatial disturbances were detected in the Northern lands and they appear every day. This is more common than I thought. Even though spatial disturbances also occur naturally, but they don't occur this often. We need to be faster in the investigation, we don't know how bad this could get.'
Done with his thoughts Head elder Han stood up and walked out of his residence. Looking up in the sky he took a step and disappeared from sight. A minute later he appeared in the front of the Mission pavilion.
There were hundreds of disciples moving in and out of the Mission's pavilion. As soon as the disciples saw Head elder Han they all cupped their hands in salute.
”Greetings to the Head elder”
”This disciple greets Head elder”
”May the Head elder's cultivation be unobstructed and smooth.”
All the disciples erupted in praises and greetings trying to bootlick the Head elder and gain his favor. The Head elder was used to such occurrences for decades now, in fact, the same thing would occur if any other high ranking elder would appear in public.
Elder Han paid no attention to the disciples and walked into the Missions pavilion. Once inside, he made his way towards the location of the elder of the missions pavilion. He reached a hall the, door of which was already opened and a young man looking to be in his late twenties was standing he was similarly dressed in a black robe but had the symbols for 'Missions Pavilion' on the left side of his chest.
The young man had a gentle smile on his face as he cupped his hands in greetings,
”What brings you here, Head elder Han?”
”How's the process for the mission to the northern lands going?” Elder Han said with a straight face.
”The selection for the disciples has been completed and they will be departing for the Northern lands in a week.”
”Why do they still need a week?” Elder Han asked while raising an eyebrow.
”Some of the selected disciples are in seclusion and should be out within the week. Considering the severity of the missions, I had to select some senior disciples who had been cultivating in seclusion for more than a year now.” The young man calmly explained.
Elder Han nodded his head in agreement and continued,
”More spatial disturbances have been detected, the star catching peak reports one every day, ask the disciples to be careful and more thorough in their investigation.”
The young man's smile stiffens upon hearing the news from elder Han.
”Yes, I'll inform the disciples of this.”
Not wasting a moment more, Elder Han speeds out of the missions pavilion and disappears in the blink of an eye. The young elder is left standing in the hall with a smile which soon turned to a frown as soon as the Head elder disappeared.
