Chapter 190 - Elders and sect master (1/2)

In the meeting hall, sitting on the royal chair above the others was Nightin. Ahead of Nightin, there was a long bench and four chairs.

Sitting on the furthest right was Isabella, this was followed by the other two elders from the psychic hall and the lotus hall. To the furthest left was Aiden who was sitting there without leaking the slightest living aura, his face was also covered up by a black mask while wearing black clothing that covered his entire body.

One may ask, how are four elders and a sect leader going to manage a sect with hundreds of thousands of disciples all alone by themselves. But that's only in the usual case.

”Sect master, why have you called us here?” Being the one with the biggest authority compared to everyone present, Isabella stepped out and posed the first question. Even though Cloud and Xinyi might have built up some reputation by now, it was Isabella who has been managing most of the sect affairs and relationships with external forces while enforcing discipline within the sect.

”I want to discuss with all of you about the sect's future development. In these five years, I'll spend all my time in the sect unless there's a need for me to leave.” Nightin stated upfront, four cards of different colours appearing before each of the elders.

A purple card with one eye imprinted on it stopped in front of Cloud.

A pink card with one lotus imprinted on it arrived before Xinyi.

A black red card with a dagger imprinted on it appeared before Aiden.

An emerald card with an arrow imprinted on it forming before Isabella.

”From today onwards, all of you will be holding this card wherever you travel. This card will be your proof of identity and in order to enforce rules and fairness in the sect, all elders will start from the first grade to the ninth grade and the symbol for each of your cards will be unique.”

Taking over the cards, they kept it and retreated backwards, Xinyi staying behind as she took the card out and asked. ”Sect master, just what other secrets does this card possess? You may try to conceal it, but my instincts tell me that there's more to this card than what you have told us.”

Still sitting, Nightin smirked and took out a card from his system storage before saying, ”These cards will allow us to communicate regardless of the distance between us and each of them possess a formation array that relies on renewable spirit energy to replenish its energy. The formation array has been custom built and should be able to increase your cultivation speed slightly.”

”Thank you sect master.” When they heard the increase in cultivation speed, all the present elders bowed down to Nightin willingly. It might only be a slight increase in cultivation speed, but all of them present were in the Martial Emperor realm while Xinyi and Cloud while nearing the Martial Saint realm. Under such a situation, every second of cultivation counts and even if it's only a percent faster, the amount of time saved would accumulate and provide a huge advantage to them in their cultivation.

”Aiden, you may leave to settle your matters first. The rest are to stay behind and await further orders, Isabella is to follow me.” Nightin said as he turned around and walked out of the main hall while Aiden just left without reporting.

”Sect master, who is that Aiden guy and just how is he qualified to become an elder as well?” Right after they left the main hall, Isabella immediately asked with a disgruntled face with her arms folded, legs rooted to the ground to await an answer.

”That's a friend of mine whose strength is at least comparable to mine.” Nightin stated calmly as he approached the wooden log designed as a swing while getting Isabella to sit opposite to him.

”But he has absolutely zero contribution to the sect and if you are going to promote him to the ranks of an elder immediately, I'm worried that many of the disciples will stand out and question your actions.”
