KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The Identity of the Red Dragon Sect

Over the next two days, the entire sect members shoulder to shoulder set up temporary huts as the sect headquarters later. They use wood from the surrounding forest to build the settlement. None of the students and teachers stood idly by. The children and women do too. Children help do small jobs such as providing food and drinks that have been cooked by women, or participate in finding materials to make the roof. Some help with kitchen work.

Like most other male swordsmen of the sect, Gentayu himself was busy building his own little hut. The plan, the hut will be in his place during silence in the sect environment. At this time it appears to have stood dozens of simple huts walled boards with thatch roofs and some of the leaves of grass and coconut and nira leaves. A simple settlement in the middle of a beautiful neighborhood is like a piece of heaven in the world.

The entire construction work was finally completed on the fifth day. Everyone looks exhausted. But instead, they had now regained their sect with better conditions for no longer hiding underground. In addition to being renamed “Secte Seven Tirai”, matriarch Lim has also determined that their sect this time will be disguised as an ordinary peasant village. So naturally, if from the side of the building there are no buildings that are similar to the general complex. All buildings are made as natural as possible as the village in general.

The students are no longer grouped according to their level, but based on the teacher and the elders who supervise them. Each elder will act as a subordinate of the village head held by Matriarch Lim. They put a name sign on the gate which is the only exit and enter the sect as “Kampung Tujuh Tirai” as a cheat if at any time there are enemy spies who happen to find the place.

“I don't think this sect has many enemies.” Gentayu stated this directly to Matriarch Lim.

“Heh, what do you mean?! You want to say that we're not a good group of people, are you??” Matriarch Lim who was spoken to seemed unhappy with Gentayu's sentence editor.

Gentayu seemed to scratch his head that was not itchy.

“It is not so, Miss Lim. My teacher once said, that this world between black and white though side by side is indeed mutually obliterating, mutual defeat. Likewise with black and white flow groups in the martial world. But, there are actually white flow groups that feel no need to deal with black flow groups as long as they are not disturbed. Even they think they do not need to interfere in eradicating black flow even though they are troublemaking in the community as long as they do not offend their group. Isn't this the ridiculous thought of his name? Group find safe!

Instead, I found things different from this Sect of yours.. Your sect must be very active in playing a role against black and heretical flow groups so many are offended and threatened, right?” Gentayu.

“Yeah. We are always targeted by black groups and their followers. Come to think of it, it was indeed we who were the most active in pacifying them before. But do you know why we did it since our first ancestor?”

Gentayu only shook his head slowly at Matriarch Lim's question.

“Let me show you.” Matriarch Lim took out a leather scroll that looked very worn, then handed it to Gentayu. “ In it, you can find the answer.”

Gentayu received the scroll with curiosity. Before he opened the scroll, the waiter came in and delivered a warm ginger drink along with the boiled corms. Still warm.

“So, originally your sect was a group of warriors on a mission? Because the mission has not been completed, finally their task is continued by the descendants including you? Then, who is the Fire Demon? Does it have anything to do with Black Kala?” Gentayu felt the need to ask this because all the facts and news that up to it needed explanation and affirmation.

“Not exactly like that. This sect was actually just a branch of the Red Dragon sect headquartered in the Huang Empire. More precisely, the task of the warrior alliance group carrying out the pursuit task was handed over and continued by the Red Dragon Sect and its descendants. The alliance has six members. Two among those six people were Sect members from the center. The remaining four returned to their native lands while our two ancestors remained in this land. Then, from the center added five other members to help the two, so that a branch of the sect was formed in this country. We are the descendants of these seven men.

While the Devil Kala Api itself, is a figure believed to be one of the remaining commanders or leaders of the demon army Mislan Katili. I'm sure your teacher explained this about Mislan Katili, so I don't have to explain it back.

This Fire Kala Demon was actually a demon swordsman who was originally a human. He is believed to be alive to this day. That is, it is more than a thousand years old. Our ancestors chased and hunted the Fire God Devil all the way to the Great Golden Island. In strength, the ancestors were clearly far below and not a match for the demon. But at that time, the demon was seriously injured by fighting against the legendary 7 gatekeeper warriors. Apparently, the 7 warriors are still alive until several hundred years after annihilating the power of Mislan Katili. The Devil of Fire was trying to awaken the power of Mislan Katili.

Fortunately, he did not know that the 7 Swordsmen of the Gate Guard were still alive and it was not too late to stop his efforts. Unfortunately at that time, the Fire Demon managed to escape at the expense of the entire stealth army he built hundreds of years ago.” Matriarch Lim let out a long sigh.

“The Patriarchs, I mean the six swordsmen of the alliance managed to seal his strength after the pursuit in this country. The seals were then carried by them and placed in six different places. Our next task is to make sure the seals stay safe.

Until, a few months ago, we heard the news that two of the six seals have been found successfully. The patriarch at the center then reported this and ordered us to take it before the black-flow group. But until now, Sengkuang elders, Shin elders and Ming elders had not given any news. While the group of elders Shou...” Matriarch's eyes seemed to be glazed when mentioning the names of their colleagues who were not yet clear of their fate.

“I'm sorry matriarch... Would if they were alive now they would be able to find this place?”

“Should have. Because we have the standard rules about evacuating and moving the headquarters.. The thing is, Shou's group of elders doesn't seem to have survived even though they managed to deliver this seal. And I'm not sure I'd be safe keeping this seal ..” Matriarch Lim's face looked sad.

Gentayu understood Matriarch Lim's unease. It was then that he felt how important it was to be a strong person and strive invincibility in order to protect others that were precious to him. Suddenly, the shadow of his teacher appeared in his mind, followed by the terrifying sight of the annihilation of the Golden Sun sect and how weak he was back then.

Finally Gentayu asked for a farewell to meet Elder Wu.

Gentayu intended to stay a little longer in the sect. At the very least, he could teach some of his skills and knowledge in order to strengthen this sect in order to better defend himself.
