For those senior disciples, this was none other than trying to get more members for their faction, by hook or by crook. But as far as these new disciples were concerned, this was a matter of life and death.
These new disciples were considered the outstanding top disciples in their respective sub-schools, and after coming to the Main Sect and training in this new favourable environment, it was only a matter of time when they would be able to catch up with those senior disciples in terms of cultivation level and strength.
So, no one was willing to join someone else's faction and become the bottom members, just to be ordered around by them.
When Yan Chiling, a top disciple among them, wanted to draw them in and form a faction, they would naturally be willing to do so.
"Now they have blocked the gate, forcefully asking us to surrender the monthly compensation, which is simply going too far." The disciple said and clenched his teeth.
