"That's Seventh Peak?" Ye Tian Yun looked at a precipitous mountain that was coiled by mist and clouds in the distance, and his gaze abruptly shone.
This mountain stood there as if it had transformed into a sharp sword that pierced through the sky, giving one a peerlessly fierce and swift feeling, captivating one's mind.
"Let's see!" He started to walk up the chain bridge. He alone wasn't in it. With him, there was also a group of other disciples.
In Gracious Sword Sect, the hierarchy was pretty simple, at the lowest came the servants, they mostly didn't cultivate or even if did, weren't higher than 3rd Level Of Qi Refining, then came the Outer Court Disciples, they could be easily distinguished by there brown robes, they also didn't have much status. Except for a few disciples who were deemed to have potential, the rest were just there to do ordinary chores and simple tasks which the servants couldn't.
Above Outer Court disciples were the Inner Court Disciples, wearing silver robes, they could be easily distinguished and were treated preferentially whenever they went outside the sect. They were also higher in cultivation.
And above them were the best disciples of the Gracious Sword Sect, the Core Disciples. They were the most talented and privileged disciples of the Sect and were treated no less than the next successor. Quality of the Core Disciples also affected the future of the Sect. A Core Disciple's status was no less than that of an Outer Court Elder.
The Elders were the true managers of the sect who decided allocations of resources and moderated the disciples. Elders were also divided into three categories, Outer, Inner, and Core Elders. While the Outer Court Elders had a similar status as that of the Core Disciples, the Core Elders were the ones who made and decided the path of the future for the sect, which was then finalized by the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader held the true power in the sect and made decisions on all important matters regarding the future of the Sect with the Grand Elders, who were usually the previous Sect Leaders and Vice Sect Leaders.
…
The chain bridge started swaying once the group of people stood atop it.
This chain bridge was at least three or four hundred meters long. Connecting Seventh Peak to the First Peak, and was undoubtedly an extremely large amount of work.
'This chain bridge ought to have been connected by cultivators at the Peak Foundation Establishment Realm or above.' Ye Tian Yun thought in his heart, and the vision before his eyes swayed. It was as if he could see the time the Gracious Sword Sect was established and figures flew past in the sky carrying iron chains in their hands….
Sure enough, the predecessors planted a tree, and their descendants enjoyed the shade.
Other than Ye Tian Yun, there were a total of three more sect disciples on the chain bridge.
One had silver robes and the other two, who were standing behind him, wore brown robes. This clearly indicated that these two Outer Court disciples were the silver robed Inner Court Disciple's followers.
However, the current mood around these three was quite weird. It was as if they had just come back after losing a fight.
The Inner Court disciple's face was grim as he said, in a low voice, "That kid should have been careful; Now he will know misfortune comes from the mouth!"
Right at this moment, the other two Outer Court disciples standing behind the Gracious Sword Sect Inner Court Disciple also had a fierce look in his eye, as one of them started, "That kid wasn't sensible enough. Even after I told him that senior brother is someone you can't afford to offend, he still didn't back off."
"Exactly, our Senior Brother is an outstanding Inner Court disciple of the Gracious Sword Sect, and he is an existence that will become a Gracious Sword Sect elder in the future. If he were sensible and gave that pill to our Senior Brother, he could have formed some good faith," the other Outer Court disciple didn't back off in his bootlicking.
"Senior Brother, could it be that there was really no other way? We should have taught him a lesson." One of the Outer Court disciples had a face full of unwillingness.
"What else could you do? I never expected him to have Seventh Prince Xu Jin as a friend." The face of the Inner Court disciple sank. He originally thought that the pill could be easily obtained, but never had he expected that such an unforeseen event would occur.
"Dammit! If it wasn't for Seventh Prince Xu Jin being coincidently present at the scene, I'd surely make that outer disciple die." The Inner Court disciple's face was gloomy as he said this in a deep voice.
Suddenly, one of the Outer Court disciples' eyes flickered as he guessed, "Senior Brother, the Inner Court Entrance Hunt is in two months… Do you think he will participate? From the arrogance he had, he really didn't seem to put any Inner Court disciple in his eyes."
"Right, Senior Brother, there really is such a possibility!" The other Outer Court disciple's gaze lit up.
"Now that you mention it….There really is this possibility. Hmph! If he really were to take part in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, then he is delivering himself to me, and I'll surely make him die!" The eyes of the Inner Court disciple went cold. He seemed as if he wanted to catch and swallow that outer court disciple who had offended him, and his icy cold voice seemed to come from a thaw hole that was filled with piercingly cold winds. Within it was breathtaking killing intent.
"If he were to take part in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt, then that prince Xin Jun will be unable to protect him." The other two Outer Court disciples started laughing.
"What did that guy call himself?" The Inner Court Disciple asked as if he had forgotten who the offender was.
One of his lackeys replied, "Xin Jun called him Xiao Ming."

Well, Xiao Ming is slowly entering the scene. Let's see how Ye Tian Yun takes advantage of this incident in the upcoming future.
