The Sky Poison Pearl
The Seven Sects Who Dominate
To have a chance to catch a glimpse of almost all the top powers of New Moon city at once, naturally I had to leave." Yun Che glanced at him: “Yuanba, it seems like you don't want to go to this banquet. Is there a problem?
Although it's not a problem, but…. But…." Xia Yuanba hesitated for a moment, and then said with a hint of anger: “Some time ago, I heard that when the new last generation Palace Head was appointed, they also sent out many invitations for the banquet. However, during that banquet, the invited disciples of the other sects used the excuse of exchanging pointers to challenge our disciples of the same age. There were ten matches, and we of the New Moon Palace lost ten times; thus humiliating the old Palace Chief, and turning the new one into a laughingstock for a long time.
"Heh-heh, it was obviously the intrigue of those sects to cause the newly appointed Palace Chief to lose his prestige, and tell him who the real boss of the New Moon city was." Yun Che said with a laugh.
"That's right." Xia Yuanba nodded, and helplessly said: “I have also heard the same thing happen to the Palace Chief from two generations ago as well. He could not avoid inviting them to the celebration, otherwise, he would be laughed at and ridiculed, and lose face. If we attend the banquet, most likely we will be challenged by them. The loss of them does not matter, but those people very often have evil intentions and use their hands to vent their anger. Last time, there were two older brothers who were beaten until they could not fully recover from their injuries, and the Palace Chief had no other choice but to swallow his words and endure the humiliation.
New Moon Palace attracts many disciples every year; is their strength really that bad?” Yun Che asked as he furrowed his brows.
The situation described by Xia Yuanba was actually quite normal. Even Yun Che himself, despite being added to the New Moon Palace for other reasons, only looked for opportunities and never once thought of serving the Imperial Family. He thought for a moment, and then asked: "In New Moon City, what sect has more power than New Moon Palace?"
Oh, let me think..” Xia Yuanba seriously thought for a moment, then slowly replied: “There are seven in total; they are the Heart Sect, Cloudy Sun Sect, Iron Spear Clan, Seven Deadly Swords Pavilion, and the, and Storm palace.” After pausing for a moment, Xia Yuanba's voice became somewhat wary: “The five sects have a history of over five hundred, or even a thousand years. In New Moon City, their influence was firmly entrenched in the city and their overall strength was greater than New Moon Palace. If not for the support of the Imperial Family, then perhaps we have been suppressed and forced out. Other than these five giants, there were two more giants that not even the Imperial Family dared to provoke!
Xiao Sect Branch and Heaven Burning Clan?” Yun Che patted his chin. He clearly knew in his heart that this was just a name. In reality, these disciples of the "Outer Sect" were those with the lowest talent who were not suitable to remain in the main sect, and nothing more. However, when all was said and done, they were still the official "Outer Sect", and unlike the Xiao Clan that had been completely abandoned.
"However, our New Moon Palace is of course, not easily intimidated." Xia Yuanba patted his chest with a face full of unwillingness and said: “Although the New Moon Palace had lost its dignity during that banquet five years ago, yet it was five years ago! Our New Moon Palace right now, also has quite a lot of talent; and it will definitely not be under any other sect…
