Tie Dan, feeling impatient, waved his hand and dispelled the Red Mountain Blood Sea. He opened a gap in the Divine Sword Formation to let in the miscellaneous fish so they could sweep the floor and collect the treasures left everywhere as tribute. But before he could catch his breath...
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, ten thousand swords flew simultaneously, like a teor shower falling, and a sudden burst of red light shot from the outer mountain and landed right in front.
"Divine Sect mbers! Greet the Supre!"
"Holy is the Supre!"
"Praise the Supre! Divine skill unrivaled! Vanquish demons, massacre gods! Unmatched in the world!"
"Glory to the Supre!"
"Praise the Supre! Victory at first sight! Immortal blessings forever! Longevity parallel with the heavens!"
"Vast is the Supre!"
"..."
Tie Dan and the first wave of miscellaneous fish stared wide-eyed at the incessantly chanting "Supre~~" second wave of miscellaneous fish.
And this group too was dressed in Divine Sect red robes, with human skin masks, each one kneeling, bowing, kowtowing, and singing praises as if they were genuinely part of the group. If it weren’t for one group just entering the formation and the other newly appearing, it would be hard to tell them apart...
Wait, hold on...
Tie Dan hesitated,
"You all... are mbers of our Divine Sect too?"
The head of the miscellaneous fish stepped forward from the crowd,
"All mbers from the Dui State Main Altar are here! Following the decree of the Sect Hierarch! Awaiting the call of the Supre!
The Supre’s divine skill unrivaled! Perfection in every strategy! Upon ergence, countless Demon Palace tribute resources were intercepted!
Great achievents, wisdom and courage unsurpassed! Deep admiration! Loyalty! Total submission!"
The second wave of miscellaneous fish all prostrated on the ground, total submission, palms raised, facing towards the sky, as if holding the sun, praising in chorus,
"Unmatched Supre!"
Then the second wave of miscellaneous fish’s leader raised his head and pointed across,
"Supre, wise and discerning! These impostors are without organization or discipline! Their uniforms were dyed temporarily! Clearly they are disguised by the Demon Sect impostors! Now is the ti to activate the formation, capture them all at once, and crush them to dust! Praise the Supre!"
"True Yang Supre!"
Tie Dan eyed the first group of miscellaneous fish suspiciously...
The first group of miscellaneous fish observed the situation, hearts trembling, quickly knelt down and clamored,
"No, no! We are the Divine Sect! We are legitimate mbers of the Si Province Branch of the Divine Sect!"
"Legitimate, legitimate!" "Divine Sect, Divine Sect!"
"Our altar has long been suppressed by the Demon Sect! Such a grand task today was secretly dispatched from above! How could we possibly assemble in advance, waiting to be caught in one fell swoop?"
"Indeed, indeed! These fellows are clearly from out of town! They’ve never worked in the Central Plains! You have to believe us!"
"Yes, yes, we can flatter just the sa! Praise the Supre!"
"Supre’s divine skill unrivaled!" "Supre is aweso!" "Supre, unmatched even in speech!"
Ugh, a bunch of useless ones, can’t even pretend properly...
But wait, Lingxu is supposed to be flawless in strategy, how could he use such a group of good-for-nothing? Hmm... perhaps the real is the fake, and the fake is the real, could it be the second group is indeed...
Tie Dan eyed the second group of miscellaneous fish again, his gaze suddenly sharp...
The second group of miscellaneous fish were oppressed by the vast divine sense, flattened to the ground, trembling, sweat pouring like pulp, shouting aloud!
"Ten Heart Blood Soul is here! Please Dharma King distinguish our Divine Soul!"
Not to be outdone, the first group hurriedly bit their fingertips! Kneeling on the ground raising hands to surrender,
"We have heart blood too!" "We can undergo authentication as well!" "Dharma King discern us!!" "Supre is aweso!"
Tie Dan, "..."
So, was he the only one who didn’t know how to authenticate here...
Okay, so-called ten fingers connected to the heart, Ten Extres Divine Sect has a fairly well-known secret technique, which condenses a drop of Essence Blood using the Primordial Spirit Technique as proof of allegiance to the Divine Sect, used for mutual identification.
And once a total of ten great rits are submitted, one becos a Ten Heart Disciple of the Divine Sect, akin to being initiated into the Mystic Sect, or passing the exams of the Immortal Palace, considered a part of the Divine Sect.
But Tie Dan actually didn’t know exactly how the authentication was done; after all, this blood talisman was usually used by local altar masters for personnel managent, assessnt rewards, and promotions. It’s not exactly a Divine Skill Secret Manual, nor does it have any real combat power, so he hadn’t bothered to learn it...
However, Tie Dan knew to learn by faking it, gathering the Essence Blood squeezed out of the fingers from both groups, he gestured it into his palm for a while, nodding slowly,
"Hmm... I know, the Dui State Divine Sect is a Divine Sect, the Si State Divine Sect is a Divine Sect too, we are all part of the Divine Sect, and among us, there is no Demon Sect."
The first group of miscellaneous fish breathed a sigh of relief, while the second group showed expressions of suspicion.
"What! You don’t believe?"
Tie Dan glared abruptly, regardless of miscellaneous fish one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, a crowd of people in blood robes all knelt on the ground, butts raised, showing only the backs of their heads to him.
"Supre discernnt! Dharma King wisdom! We are all Divine Sect! No Demon Sect!"
"All are Divine Sect! No Demon Sect!" "Wisdom~ Supre!"
"...Alright! Understand now, get up and get to work! Quickly move the stuff! The real Demon Sect could attack anyti now!"
The first and second groups of miscellaneous fish dared not make any more chaos, hurried into action, rolled up their sleeves to work hard, collecting and cleaning the scattered treasures and Spirit Stones, organizing and categorizing every copper coin without omission, indeed two hands working are quicker than one.
Tie Dan stood by observing all the while.
In this Divine Sect, when the higher-ups make a decision, there is no questioning it; speak a single word against them and you’d be crushed and refined away. It’s hard to say whether this authoritarian system is good or bad. All I can say is that the virtues and flaws of those in power get magnified infinitely.
If those in charge are like the Divine Lord, a Taiji Venerable erging into the world, naturally they would wield influence over the world. Even the nine major sects wouldn’t dare raise their voice, and the Three Constellation Immortal Palace would be trampled rcilessly. But if chosen is a fool, well, the consequences would be theirs to bear. Luckily, the Demon God Ancestors who have suffered greatly, passing through tribulations, cutting off karma, achieving Divinity Transformation Enlightennt, almost never turn out to be fools...
