Chapter 44 Heavenly Sect Federation
Chapter 44 Heavenly Sect Federation
Shen Yu stood outside the Lan Inn as he bid farewell to Ming. After giving her a hug, which obviously made her a little embarassed, Shen Yu left the inn. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He walked on the crowded street along with Xiao Lan and Ying Yue with a happy smile on his face. The two ladies had worn black robes and had a half mask on their faces.
When Shen Yu had asked why they were doing so many things, they just told that they didn't like the looks everyone gave them. Shen Yu had offered them the technique he was using but for some reason, they didn't accept it.
In fact, it was Xiao Lan's idea because she didn't like the looks everyone gave her. She had developed this disgust from her past experience and didn't want anyone to see her face or body. The looks always made her disgusted and angry and she was afraid that she would kill a few people in her anger.
That's why she had talked with Ying Yue and came up with this idea. As for the reason of they declined Shen Yu's offer, it was Ying Yue who did that because she wanted her Master to see her beauty. She was afraid that she would become too ordinary in Shen Yu's eyes and although she knew he wouldn't think like that, she still had those thoughts.
Because of all this, a group of three normal yet strange people could be seen walking on the streets. Some gave them strange looks but mostly it was fine because many people liked to hide their identity for various reasons.
It didn't take them long to reach the Green Silk Town Branch of Heavenly Sect Federation. It was the second tallest building in whole town, only inferior to the home of Town Lord.
Shen Yu looked at the building and then entered it through the open gates. The first floor was relatively quite with only a few people in the lobby. It was understandable since it was only morning and more people would come later. Heavenly Sect Federation managed everything related to the Sects, after all.
Lan Ming had already told them how things worked here so they directly headed towards one box where a young man was sitting, doing his work.
Lan Ming had already given them the identity card since Tier 2 sects had the right to do that aside from the Heavenly Sect Federation. So they only needed to register themselves as Tier 1 Sect.
They arrived near the young man who had a small slip pasted on his desk that read 'Li Hai'. Shen Yu smiled and said.
"Hello, we would like to register our Sect."
Li Hai looked up from his paperwork and nodded. He then asked in a professional tone.
"If you've come to register then I'm guessing you already know the requirements and basic rules."
"Yes, we know."
"Very well then. Please come with me so we can check if you fulfil the requirements."
Like Hai nodded and stood up. He set aside his paperwork and then came out of the small box he was assigned. He then led the trio upstairs to room where their Cultivation base and other requirements would be checked. While they were walking, Li Hai informed them of everything they needed to be careful of and also the benefits they would have for being a Sect.
Shen Yu nodded as he thought about all the points.
'All in all, Heavenly Sect Federation is really the controller of sects. If we had doubts that someone of other sect killed someone from our sect, then we can report it to the Federation. If we have enough proof then the Federation will see through the punishment and compensation. And if we aren't satisfied by their judgement, we can have a Trial By Combat with other sect. However, for that we need a strong cause.
'We also can't exact revenge or atleast legally because if the Federation got to know of it, the whole Sect would be punished. Hmm, this is a good system but also flawed. Well, still better than having just law of jungle where one can kill whoever they wants just because they are strong.'
Shen Yu knew that the jungle rule still followed since even the Federation was controlled by the Empire and the Four Major Sects. But it was still way better than having jungle rule in open. There would be corruption and flawed judgment but he still liked it.
'Well, you can get away if you are strong and have a good background. It isn't much different than Earth.'
He then remembered the benefits of having a registered Sect.
'Our sect will be protected by the Federation and it's rules. Not to Mention that they would help us if we're Targeted by Spiritual Creatures. Even other sects under the Federation would have to help other sects, making a joint community to fight against the Spiritual Creatures. They really did good. They will also give us some resources for free and other resources as cheaper price. Hmm, this is good.'
Shen Yu already know most of it but still listened to find the differences. After all, it was the Four Major Sects that made these rules and the rules weren't much different from the rules in the World beyond Hollow Mountains.
As they reached a corner, a red headed women with a wine bottle in her hand came from the other side. She drank the wine and walked with even steps, her eyes were a slightly drunk but still had a strange clarity in them.
Her gaze landed on the people coming from her front and she raised an eyebrow. Her eyes shone in surprise as she thought.
'What a odd group of people. One is on Foundation Realm yet I can't detect her properly. Second is mortal yet I feel danger from her. As for third...'
Her eyes widen in shock.
'I can't even read him. There is nothing. But how is that possible? My eyes have never deceived me then why can't I see him?'
