Both the Sect Leader and Vice-Sect Leader remained silent upon hearing John say this. They both knew his enmity with them, both from his clan and Russell, and so did not advise against such a goal.
If John was truly able to destroy the Bloodfiend Sect sohow, it would be a great boon for the Yuan Continent. Also, since his power was below the Dao Transformation Realm, he would not be held to the Alliance laws that bound the Sect Leader from taking action himself.
"Now that the ti has co, I will give you the mission details," Thunderzen spoke up.
John stirred out of his thoughts once more and listened closely to what the Sect Leader had to say.
"On the bordering lands between the Bloodfiend Sect and our Heavenly Lightning Sect, small skirmishes break out all the ti. The Bloodfiend Sect is constantly trying to test us, to see if we stop them from expanding their territory. Not only that, but they send many of their disciples as well, to train them through battle," the Sect Leader explained.
John sat there in silence, listening to everything the Sect Leader was saying.
"Our War Hall sends out Elders and disciples as well, to keep the Bloodfiend Sect from encroaching on our lands. As part of the War Hall, you will join them on an official excursion out to the borderlands. There, you will eventually find yourself in a skirmish with the Bloodfiend Sect, and hopefully, find a suitable target to take the identity of. Once you do so, you will leave the protection of your War Hall company, and sneak into the forbidden lands.
The rest of the details are up to you, but you are to return to the Bloodfiend Sect as the disciple you took the identity of, and say you were the only survivor of the group. The Bloodfiend Sect does not take kindly to deserters, and so you will have to do sothing...eye catching, so make it so that they do not execute you."
John's eyebrows raised at the last sentence, causing the Sect Leader to chuckle slightly. "Don't worry, in the event that you are unable to do anything to stop such an action, all you need to do is crush this," Thunderzen continued as he threw a small item to John.
John caught the item and quickly inspected it. It was a small formation disk, with simple rune carvings over it. It was even less profound than the spatial talismans given to them when they entered the wastelands, causing John to frown.
"How is this supposed to save ?
"It's not, but I will," Thunderzen replied with a smile on his face.
John looked questionly at the Sect Leader, who elaborated further.
"This simple formation disk is linked to this one," Thunderzen stated as he took out another disk that looked exactly identical to the one John had. "In the event that your safety is at risk, crush that disk. It will imdiately alert that you are in danger, and I will arrive to bring you out safely from the Bloodfiend Sect," Thunderzen explained.
"I thought you can't interfere in matters such as this?" John asked in a questioning tone.
Thunderzen had been expecting such a question. "I can't interfere with Bloodfiend Sect matters, but no law said anything about rescuing a disciple of mine who is in distress," Thunderzen elaborated.
"So that's how it is," John replied. His confidence instantly soared upon hearing this, as he had a nearly guaranteed lifeline out of the Bloodfiend Sect if he ever needed it.
"Once you're inside the Bloodfiend Sect, you are to quickly establish yourself as a disciple worthy of being raised to the top of the Sect. This is where your recent training will co into play. You will be unable to use any lightning powers, battle arts not trained by the Bloodfiend Sect, or powerful body of yours. This is where your recent training will co into factor. By claiming you had so incredible insights and breakthroughs during your near death experience during your recent battle, you will show an incredible combat prowess that is worthy of nurturing."
Thunderzen paused to take a sip of tea, which was still wafting the area with a fragrant aroma. A small smile appeared on his face as he contently sipped the tea, before setting the teacup back down and resuming his mission details.
"Once you beco a disciple of note, you will climb the internal ranks until soone high enough notices you and takes you under their wing. You will keep showing your talents, and keep climbing as high as possible. Only once you are truly considered an important asset of the Bloodfiend Sect will they deign to divulge any important information to you. Utilize any and all ans to gather this intel, and once you have a good understanding of their plans, leave. That is your mission. Any questions?"
John leaned back heavily in his chair as the Sect Leader finished his mission explanation. John sat there in silence for quite so ti, taking in all the mission details.
"In the battle on the borders, what happens if we're overwheld by a stronger enemy force?" John asked. It was the one question he had.
"I will follow you all the way to the border in secret," the Vice-Sect Leader suddenly spoke up. "If you run into any situations you cannot handle, I will aid you. Otherwise, I will remain in secret, no matter what happens. The border skirmishes are typically kept to the ridian Forging realm and below, so you should be fine," she explained.
"Any other questions," Sect Leader Thunderzen asked?
"No, I have no more questions," John eventually replied. He was clear on what he had to do.
"Good. Then Lilian here will take you to the War Hall, and introduce you to your new squadron. Good luck."
John stood up and bowed his head slightly to the Sect Leader in respect, before turning around and following the Vice-Sect Leader.
Sect Leader Thunderzen watched the two of them leave, as a small smile appeared on his face.
"If my guesses of the prophecy are true, then I wonder how the Bloodfiend Sect will deal with the prophesized Asura of Annihilation!"
