Civil War

The two entrance guards looked towards each other in shock as they saw the name of the bold headed monk engraved onto the sect identity tablet.

"Your tablet has been confirmed and recorded, young master you may exit the the sect now, but you need to remember that as an inner disciple, you only have a week of free time outdoor before you must return, if you return any later, you will be punished according to sect laws" The mustached guard said courteously.

"Yeah yeah, I know the procedures" The mysterious monk said before proceeding to take out two low grade crystals.

"If you can point towards the direction in which Luo Ren and his group went, I will be happy to generously compensate you for your troubles"

The mole guard eyes lit up in greed, "They went that way young master!"

Before the mustache man could respond, the monk disappeared into a puff of smoke, vanishing from their view.

At first, the mole guard was frowning in anger, that was until he felt something heavy in his hands.

He hadn't realized that he was now holding onto one of the low grade crystal, he then turned towards his left and saw that his fellow comrade, the mustached guard was holding onto the other piece.

"Sigh, I wonder what kind of trouble will occur in the city, it seems that Luo Ren has attracted a calamity" The mustache guard said softly as he saw the silhouette of the monk walking calmly barefooted down the hill and into the city.

But that wasn't the calamity his was speaking off because the two guards saw many inner and outer disciples rushing towards their direction.

"That was Jing Bai? He looked different from the rumours" The mole guard said in confusion.

"It should be, his face seems familiar but his aura and mannerism has completely changed. Before, he use to be a wild, unruly troublemaker who loves to cause discord wherever he goes, he also doesn't even care who he offends. But now, it seems like heaven and hell had flip sides, and Jing Bai had changed his ways, completely shaving his head and begun acting like virtuous monk sage, sigh, I wonder if it's just an act, but who knows" The mustache guard said while massaging his head in worry.

The two guards had to slowly process everyone's identity and recorded their names onto a crystal stone to record or the temporary leaves of the day.

Luo Rei and Rock's name couldn't be seen on the stone because they weren't needed.

First of all, Luo Rei isn't even an official disciple of the sect, but she still has one of the highest authority inside the sect.

Rock is a core disciple and has a core tablet that lets him enter and leave whenever he wants without answering to any higher ups.

Only Luo Ren's name was recorded quietly after their group left.

"You two, why did you let Luo Ren leave!" The two guards eyes dropped as their legs trembled once they saw an inner disciple with an entourage of dozens of followers following loyally behind his side.

It was Sun Zhong, his face was contorting in anger as his pointed to the two guards with killing intent.

"He...he is an outer dis..ciple and is allowed thre...ee days every month to..to journey out...outside the sect" The mustache guard lips quivered as Sun Zhong stared down at him.

"That is true, but for an outer disciple to use those three days, he must have permission from the higher ups, Luo Ren hasn't contribute one thing towards the sect, so how would he ever gain the permission to leave?"

"Errr...uh, I, I...I"

"You you you what? You thought you could cut corners just to curry favour with Luo Ren?"

"No I dare not cut corners, it's just that Luo Rei was there, and her authority is higher than an elder!" The mustache guard forcefully muttered out with all his breath.

"You dare!"

"How dare you talk back to our master!"

"Flay him until he turns into a bloody red ripe tomato!"

The two guards neck shrunk like a turtles neck as they heard the vile harsh words that were filled with deep killing intent, from Sun Zhongs followers.

Every single one of Sun Zhongs followers were all inner disciples, and none of them were weak. Their combine aura made the two guards spine shiver into the depth of their souls.

Cultivators and spies from other powers all watched the from afar, without any hint of of wanting to help the two poor guards.

The two guards were startled as they were confused as to why Sun Zhong would be angry with them as they did what every entrance guard would do. Their hope reignited as soon as they saw a core elder rushing towards them from afar.

"Elder, please help us!" The two guards feared for their life and tried to turn towards the elder for help.

"Where did Luo Ren go? Who let him leave!" The core elder shrieked in a high voice.

At this point, the two guards lost hope, the guard with the mole looked towards the mustache guard with ill intent and deep hatred.

That hatred had suddenly appeared out of the deep corner of his heart, the mole guard thought, 'It was his fault for letting Luo Ren go, he put me in this position, now I might die and it'll be all his fault!'

"It was him! He let them go! I wanted to stop Luo Ren and properly take him through the correct procedure, but who knew that Xei Wen Tai would forget his job and let Luo Ren go freely" The mole guard spat out in a half hateful and pleading tone while kowtowing towards the core elder.

"Huuumpft, it this true?" The core elder looked towards the mustache faced guard, whose name was supposedly Xei Wen Tai.

"Ye...yes, I did that bu...but Luo Rei was there, and he...her authority is greater than yo...yours" Xei Wen Tai said while trembling.

"You! How dare you say that! How dare say Luo Rei, who is a whale buffoon, not to mention she's isn't even an official member of our sect, is higher than me! Huuumpft, as for everyone here, I have an official sect order tablet from the Vice Sect Leader, Dong Ki, it states that Luo Ren must answer to him personally, if not, he and anyone who stands in the way of this order will face consequences! So don't you all get any wild ideas, lest you face the wrath of my father! As for these two guards, huuumpft, give them each 100 lashes and strip their ties from the sect, kick them out stark naked after you are done!"

"No sir! Please have mercy!" Both the guards kowtowed while crying tears, but were quickly taken away for punishment, their low grade crystal were taken as they were forcefully stripped for whipping, while the core elder disregarded everyone, and rushed out of the sect.

The core elder thought inwardly, 'Damn, as soon as Luo Han got word of the situation, he forced every older generation expert down onto their knees, unable to make a move these coming days, but luckily my Grandfather sneaked some words to me, so now I have to complete his task or else...' The core elder was crackling in disdain at the thought of Luo Ren, since Luo Han and the other old monsters were squaring off, he was free to do whatever he wants.

"Damn, this trashy elder, Dong Bei just got a head-start, everyone lets go, we can't let Luo Ren fall into the hands of the Dong Family" Sun Zhong shouted, and they left the sect.

Actually, almost everyone disregarded the rules and rushed out of the sect, a few powerful core disciples and elders who just got news stopped closed cultivation and rush out of their immortal cave to join in the fun.

It was a free for all, people couldn't outright break the rules while Luo Han is still the sect leader, but his power and authority had waned, so people were able to cut corners here and there, while they cut down anyone who hinders them in their goal, such as the two unfortunate guards.

Luo Ren while sleeping had both Rock, and Luo Rei protecting him, but that was in the outer sect.

There are loyal sentries posted in every ring of the sect, their strength are the elites of the elites.

They have taken a life and death contract, which meant they are extremely loyal to the death, and if anyone causes immense trouble in the sect, they will be apprehended, or worse, killed on the spot.

The only reason why Rock was able to force people back was because he had the authority of Luo Rei beside him, and he didn't have killing intent, and he also didn't injured anyone to the extent of needing medical attention, this is why the sentries didn't make a move.

But now that the group had left the sect, the loyal sentries, the authority of Luo Rei, all didn't matter.

With so many cultivators pouring out to scour every inch of the city, how will Luo Ren and co, survive the coming calamity.

None of them predicted that the situation could get this bad, it was basically the start of a civil war.

Who ever wins, their sins are washed cleaned and they make the rules, while the losers grovel at their feet in envy, wishing that they were the ones at the top of the hill.

Currently inside the city...

"We are past the halfway mark, you can do it!" Luo Ren supported his sister on her walk of transformation. The group had traveled a few miles, pass many cultivators and mortals, they all looked at trembling fatty with mocking laughter.

"I can't move anymore, I'm too hungry" Luo Rei complained as her stomach growled like a starved lion who is stranded on a deserted island.

"Let's stop, we can use the carriage, don't push yourself" Rock said slowly.

"No, if I can't even do this, then where would I put my face!" She yelled bitterly.

"We can rest for a few minutes and eat, but you can only eat healthy food like a salad, eldest sister" Luo Ren said while pulling the breaks on the handlebar and stopping the bicycle from moving.

David discovered that if a rider uses the break manually, then it wouldn't cost him any energy to use, this is the same with the bell.

But if David himself was to use them, it would cost energy. David then took a quick look at his status, and found himself having more mile points and energy.

[David Lee]

Grade 1 (Low)

Health Points: 82/110

Energy Points: 15/110

Mile Points: 9

Attack: Ordinary

Defence: Grade 1 (Low)

Speed: Grade 1 (Low)

'Ok, I can allocate some points to some of my features, but I am really curious to see which one can help advance my attack level from ordinary to Grade 1' He thought, but just as he was going to allocate a few mile points in a some random features that he hasn't touched before, he felt something very odd outside his consciousness.

Luo Ren and co took a turn onto the main street.

"Don't you think it's been too quiet lately?" Luo Ren said towards Luo Rei and Rock.

'Chirp chirp' Little man, who was sitting on Luo Ren shoulders vocally agreed, it stood on edge, raising its small but sharp reaper like arms into a defensive position.

"Hmmmm...." Rock finally came to his senses, he was too busy making sure that Luo Rei doesn't fall and stumble from tiredness to sense his surroundings.

"You are Luo Ren right?" A voice came echoed into their surroundings, that voice bounced from building to building, so none of them sensed the whereabouts of the owner of that voice.

Before anyone could answer, Luo Ren felt a prickly sense on his neck, it was the praying mantis who warning him in advance.

Luo Ren quickly pulled back the handlebar of the bicycle, arched his spine backwards, and raised the front wheel off the ground, he then stood up and hopped his whole body, including the bicycle, backwards.

'Wooooooosh'

Luo Ren had narrowly dodged a poison needle by doing a wheelie hop motion with the ancient spiritual tool.

'Wooooooosh Woooooosh Wooooosh'

Luo Ren hopped on one wheel backwards, then side-wards to the right, then he hopped forward, dodging three more poison needles that were thrown his way.

Luo Ren was grateful for Little Mans danger sense ability, if not, he would had been killed then or there, though he didn't know what type of poison the needle had.

"What are you waiting for Rock, take out the enemy!" Luo Rei said in a flustered tone.

"Master, I can't leave your side, their are too many enemies this time, I can only protect you, but not Luo Ren" Rock said in a sadden tone.

"What do you mean, just save us bo...." Before she could finish her sentence, around fifty cultivators came out of hiding, they all stood arrogantly on top of the buildings, staring down at the trio like ants.

"We, the Black Tiger Gang only want Luo Ren. You core disciple of the Divine Relic Sect and that fat pig, stand down, but if you want to throw away your life, the choice is yours to make hehe" A tall shirtless middle age man who had short black hair, with a tattoo's of a tigers den etched on his back and his body was also very muscular and deeply toned which marks the man as a body cultivating expert.

This was the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, who exuded an aura of a bloody sea with the power of unbridled slaughter, his cultivation feels similar to the same level as Rock, if not, even stronger than Rock.
