"Die!"
The thousand of swords were immediately slashing towards me, hitting me everywhere, my head, body, legs, arms. My spiritual essence could only hardly defend against every cut and my energy was depleting really fast. I won't hold on any longer if I just stay and try to block them. Just like my master in my karate club said. Attack is the best Defense.
I pulled my sword out, and started running towards the Great Elder, sometimes pushing the flying swords away, dodging most of them.

He was only one meter away, i pushed my sword towards him. This was my chance.
"Agh." My sword slid inside his stomach as if I was cutting a piece of cake.
"Yo- You really killed me." He said, not like I was expecting he would. "Even the poison I gave you, so you wouldn't be able to cultivate didn't work my." Coughing a second time, "End it…"
I slashed my sword and his head fell from his shoulders. Making a "dumpfh" sound when it landed on the floor, making all the elders shocked, at what they had just seen.
„Th- The Great Elder is d-de-dead!" One of the most loyal elders of him yelled. Still not able to realize.
"The Elders will be officially disbanded, and I will now take complete control over the sect."
I shouted using the rest of my spiritual essence to scare them away. After they left, only the third Elder was left. Waiting for what I had to say.
"Third Elder, although you didn't help me, I know that you aren't one of the Great Elders. And I also know you did serve my father. That's why I will allow you to stay being an Second Stage Elder in my new constellation."
"Thank you, Sect Leader!" He said falling onto his knees. "I won't make you regret this!" After saying that I made him leave the Hall.
What was my plan? I had thought a lot about how I wanted to rebuild my sect and the first thought was the Elders Authority and Power in the Sect.
From now on I would rule as the ultimate authority and no one would be allowed to resist my orders. Under me would be the Pavilion Masters, they would take care of their pavilions, for example the Alchemy Pavilion, the Cultivation Pavilion and so on.
Every Master would be in charge of ten or more Inner Elders. They would help and teach the disciples. Then there were the Outer Elders who would take care of the outside, dangers, watching the disciples behave, and so. Of course as my sect would grow, I would have to change many things. But these were the first ideas I had in mind.
Just as I wanted to leave and ended my thoughts, the well known system screen appeared infront of me.

As I said that, I could already feel the energy inside of me breaking through, but not only once but two times. There were also Memories of the Sky Rank <The Tiger Slash> appearing in my mind. Making me complete understand this complex skill, wich geniuses would have to spend decades to understand even a little.
"System? Is it possible to see my own Stats too?"

"Ahn System? What is going on? Why can't I see my Talent?"
[ Host! As right now, you don't have a Talent. ]
"I don't have a Talent? Huh?" I asked, but it seemed like the system was trying to hide something. Anyway, I flew towards my mansion, feeling the Energy get sucked in by my disciple, when I looked at her, I could see that she did a great profess in her cultivation. Although she didn't breakthrough yet. It wasn't far away. I didn't want to disturb her so I quickly left and went to my chair. I sat down, and started my meditation to calm my mind.
"System? Can I summon a Retainer?"
[ Are you willing to summon your Retainer? ]
"Yes!"
[ Beginning the Summoning…. ]
[ Summoned successfully. ]
A black portal appeared infront of me, it's aura was so strong I didn't dare to come closer. Footsteps could be heard coming from inside the portal. On the other Side, a man wearing a black robe and a black mask, looking to be around 25 years old, looked at me.
When I wanted to greet him and our eyes met, he suddenly fell down on his knees.
"I am willing to serve you! Sect Leader."
"Ah! Äh, Right. Please stand up."
When I looked at him a second time, I used my Status Skill to identify him, and it worked.
