40 Chapter 34: Martial Hall (1/2)

As soon as they entered the large door, quite a few disciples took a deep cold breath.

From the outside, the building looked normal, but the inside was actually a hall hundreds of feet tall and stretching acres wide.

Within the hall there were hundreds of black chairs and tables. At the end of the hall there was a long ancient painting.

The painting portrayed the back of a person in Black. On his head, a long purple hairpin and he had a long sword without a sheathe swung over his shoulder. He had a layer of black aura surrounding him while giving off an extremely mysterious feeling

Beneath the drawing, there was a silver altar around fifty to sixty feet long. To each side, a lantern was lit. At the center, there were fifteen to sixteen golden tablets with different names written in black on them allowing it to give off a solemn feeling.

After all the disciples stepped into the hall, all the oil lamps within the Hall lit up, leaving the new disciples in awe, except young master Xu who still had an indifferent look on his face.

As all the youths couldn't help but look at each other, if it were not for the solemn atmosphere in the hall, they would've begun to whisper secretly. They could only stand in place and wait honestly.

Xu yun sized up the four corners of the huge hall, and unconsciously let his gaze fall back into the huge drawing hanging at the front. 'Shan Tianxie!...the one and only brother to the Sect master and maker of the lethal thirteen sword!'

According to his background story, He had been chasing after the leader of the palace of shifting flowers in a bid to court her. But for one thing, with his Unruly nature...there was no way Xi Chi would bother with him, not to mention that she started this faction because of her hatred for men. He was then hurt by an explosion caused by Xi Chi 'the Lunatic', which damaged his face, so he has to wear a mask.

Xu yun's random thoughts didn't last long since after a couple of minutes, footsteps sounded from the entrance of the hall.

”Greetings Great Master!”

”Stand.” The Elder replied as he came in from the entrance.

'Yin Feng' Xu yun thought as he suppressed a chuckle.

”I am Yin Feng. I believe you should know me so I will not waste my time. Since all of you have joined this Sect, you will become one of us only after you begin training officially and begin to get contribution points.”

'Arrogant as Ever' Xu yun couldn't help but think as soon as he heard this.

As soon as all of the disciples settled down once more, Yin feng once again drew every ones attention. He said with a motionless expression, ”Killing a fellow sect member is against our ideals, making this Our one and only rule, Breaking this is tantamount to immediate death!”

The group of disciples hearts shook.

”Also, our sect also splits into eight factions but I believe you know this as well” Yin feng stated Impatiently as he looked around with his powdered face ”So!!...I want you to proceed forward to the Martial skill section and each select your preferred skill set.”

As soon as the words were out, The disciples moved under the sharp gaze of Yin feng, so Xu yun chose to play along.

As the new Inner court disciples spread out, Xu yun set his sights on his first target for recruitment.

'Zhu Ling'

a typical villainess character from what he remembers, Hard working? yes but very petty.

She started out as an outer court disciple and has now joined the inner court and has considerable influence in the outer court.

'Well she'd do better than the others from my calculations'. Xu yun thought with a smirk as he busied herself around Zhu ling.
