Swordsman Dog Stick

Ep 50 - Stunning

After the meeting of the elders, Gao Yuan immediately did his job of arranging the guarding of the gates on his confidants. It was actually a very trivial task, only outer disciples were usually doing gate guarding. But knowing who was coming and it was a direct order from Tun Besar Jaya Pamungkas, made Gao Yuan gladly do that.

Each Elder had only one or two main disciples, usually their own sons if they had children. But if not, they will take from the students they value have outstanding talents and fit the criteria to receive their teaching. But if they do not find that talent and also have no descendants, then they will not take any students.

Even so, they have some confidants who always accompany their duties. Actually they could also be called disciples of those elders because they also received training from the elders he followed. But it was different from the main disciple, so status-wise, they could not be called elder disciples. The number is uncertain, sometimes can be counted fingers, and some other elders even have dozens or dozens of confidants.

Every confidant who followed one of the elders, had a higher status than the other disciples, it made them respected and even feared by the other disciples. Outside students or inner students.

Student status itself, in general, is divided into 3 main parts. That status also makes the resources they get vary. The higher the status of a disciple, the more rations of resources, especially if it was a genius disciple, it would get more resources for the sake of the advancement of his cultivation.

The status divisions of those disciples were outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples. The outer disciples were those at the 1-star to 3-star early stage Demigods realm, the inner disciples were those at the 1-star and 2-star intermediate stage Demigods realm. While the core disciples were at the 3-star intermediate stage Demigod realm. This core disciple also served as a teacher for beginner students. In addition, they were also prepared to enter the ranks of elders promotion when they had broken through to the late 1-star Demigod realm. However not all who were in the realm of 1-star late-stage Demigods could become elders, they had to do the test of the Tiger challenge to be able to become an Elder.

Broadly speaking, just like that was the image of the sects that were in the Yun empire, some sects implemented different systems depending on the state of the sect itself.

From that day on, the task of guarding the gate was carried out by the Gao Yuan people. They consist of two groups consisting of 6 people per group. Some of the assigned people are still cursed, even if only in the heart, because according to them, guarding the gate is only a trivial job.

And it was fortunate that those Gao Yuan people, they did not need to guard the gate for a few days, as it was only a few tens of minutes that the first group of them were guarding. Two young men of different types were seen approaching the sect gate and stopping two meters before the boundary of the formation.

"Sorry Brother, we came to see the Great Lord Jaya Pamungkas" said a young man who was none other than Mahisa Agni, he called out to his brother because the guard who was assigned still looked young.

While a girl who was with him was Ayu Wilis, continued to lower her face holding her heart thump as it would stomp back the Tiger Palm Sect that she had left for more than the last 5 years.

One of the officers observed Ayu Wilis, he felt familiar with her, but after observing for a while, his memory was unable to remember who the girl was, let alone the girl kept her head down.

"What are these two people that Elder Gao Yuan said" the officer said in his heart, Gao Yuan's instruction to escort up to the residence to the residence of Grand Lord Jaya Pamungkas, the person to come with the golden badge of the Tiger Palm Sect, yet Gao Yuan did not mention who and how many people would come.

"Have you made an appointment with the Great Lord, we need evidence for that" asked the other officer.

Agni did not want to ramble, he then showed the badge given by Jaya Pamungkas. The badge was almost the size of a palm with a carved tiger footprint in the center and a dark red crystal stone background.

"The Great Lord's badge" said one who became the leader of the guard group, after confirming the badge Agni was holding.

"San Meng, go to Tarino to return to guard the gate, San Ho, San Yuk, you two guard this gate until the Tarino group comes to replace you, Bajra, you two, you go to Elder Gao Yuan to report, Nagata, you are with me escorting the two men towards the Great Lord's residence" the group's leader instructed.

"Okay Senior" answered everything simultaneously. And two people went from that place first to report.

Then the leader made a pattern with his hand to open a slight gap in that defensive formation.

"Kraaassa"

A line forms on the formation wall, then divides to form a 2-meter wide gap.

"Let's Brother, we'll escort you to the Great Lord's residence" the task of the leader was only escorting to ensure that the guest carrying the badge of the Sect leader did not experience interference during the trip to the residence of the Grand Lord Jaya Pamungkas, therefore he does not need to ask the identity of the guest.

"Five years ago there hasn't been this formation" Inner Ayu Wilis recalled that as he escaped from the sect, the defense formation had not yet been formed.

Entering the gate of the Sect, a path as wide as the size of a gate extended by about 500 meters. On the right and left, there is a pond complete with a garden, several tiger statues with various poses decorate the park.

At the end of the road, they climbed the stairs about 20 meters long. Up at the top of the stairs, Agni realized it was a fairly wide flat arena surrounded by podiums for audience seating.

They keep walking straight, almost equivalent or maybe a little longer than the road they went through before climbing the stairs. They entered a fairly large hallway, while above the passageway, it seemed to be a special main podium for important people. Maybe the arena was used for a match or other major sectarian events.

No less than 50 meters long the passageway they passed through. Agni was still stunned by what she saw. An elongated road with the same width as before, on the left right neatly arranged trees every few meters. The small paths become the branches of the main road to the left right. While on the left right, a very large 3-story building with the plaque of the name of the Moon Pavilion on the right, and the Star Pavilion on the left. And one building of almost the same size was straight at the end of that street.

They didn't talk during the trip. Agni was able to understand why Ayu Wilis kept his head down, so he did not invite her to speak. The two people in front who were escorting them also did not utter his words.

Crossing the main road, Agni saw quite a lot of people who were doing their respective work. There were also some of them who seemed to be just relaxing in the reserved seating at some point. Some wore uniforms similar to the two men escorting them, but others wore different clothes. Their eyes were all on Agni and Ayu Wilis as they crossed the place.

They entered the building at the end of the road. Inside the building, on the right and left, neatly arranged a few sets of tables and chairs, it seemed like it was a waiting room, while on the left right side of the wall, it was, there are several rooms with their doors closed. Straight in line with the entrance, there is a hallway that leads to the room or maybe the backyard of the building. To the right and left of the hallway, there were four women on duty at their respective tables, it looked like they were receptionists.

They're headed for one of the officers on the right side of the hallway.

"Miss Xue, this guest came with the Great Lord's golden badge" the chief escort officer Agni said.

"If so, please senior" replied the officer who was called Miss Xue.

"Thank you, come brother" the leader replied, and then invited Agni.

They continued to walk into the hall next to the reception desk. Not long, only about 10 meters. There are three doors in the hallway. One door is the largest to the room or backyard, while the other two doors with smaller sizes, there are both sides of the hallway wall.

It caught Agni's attention, as the two doors were located in the middle of a formation pattern and had no door leaf. Only a frame signifies that it is a door. Right in the middle of the door, there was a lever made of carved gold.

"Lunches.klek..klek"

The leader pulled the door lever to the right, sounded a few times, and stopped at one of the points.

Suddenly, a red light came out to the emasan, sourced from the door frame and continued to propagate following each line in the formation pattern image. After all the lines filled perfectly with red light to the emasan, it suddenly turned a dark black color, like a passageway leading to another place. Unasked, for the first time the leader explained this.

"If you are surprised, this is a door formation wherever you go, we will go to the residence of the Grand Master Jaya Pamungkas through this door, because if you pass the normal road, you will go to the residence, it will take time to get there" apparently the leader explained because he saw the expression of wonder on Agni's face.

"Come over" The leader let in after seeing Agni nod after hearing his explanation.

The door suddenly disappeared after they all stepped through it. Arriving at the destination, Agni saw a gate above which there was a statue of a giant black panther with dark yellow stripes, sitting with two hind legs and two straight front legs, which were straight, while the tiger's eyes seemed to be looking at Agni sharply. That's the gate of the residence of Tuan Besar Jaya Pamungkas.
