The Heavenly Road: God Hunters
Ch30 Internal Conflicts
A few weeks earlier, the day after Kenshin left the Sect.
At the Sect Chief's residence, an impatient Rai Ken was seen waiting for Helio's arrival. After a while, Helio entered the room.
A moment Helio entered the room, without prior notice Rai Ken immediately beat Helio. To make him bounce back out of his room.
Seeing that the other Elders who were also not far from there saw the chaos that occurred in his residence. Everyone gathered for a moment after hearing the sound of chaos in their Sect Chief's residence.
Helio got back up. While wiping the blood coming out of his mouth Helio walked over.
"You know what your fault is, Helio..?" Ask Rai Ken.
"I realize what my mistake is and I'll accept every punishment you want to give"
Not yet he finished his speech Rai Ken immediately gave him another blow. He also went back outside. Makes him speechless.
"If you knew why you told him to leave the Sect instead? If he really has to go. Not that he had to leave the Sect, at least have him face me and state the reason. That way I might be able to give him a clear mission as well as give him the chance to go where he wants to go" Rai Ken asked in a high tone.
"Helio, do you really not trust me anymore..?" Rai Ken was disappointed.
"Chairman, I'm sorry. But I can't do what you explained earlier. I don't know if he's being watched or not. I think this is the best option for him and letting him go with the status of no longer a disciple of the True Fire Flame Sect as well, will help him more easily to see his mother. Kenshin, after all, Kenshin has learned it" Helio said.
Instantly Rai Ken was speechless hearing that. He knew exactly what Helio was talking about.
"You're not lying to me, are you, Helio..?" Ask Rai Ken to make sure.
Helio shook his head. He also told about Kenshin's meeting with his uncle at that time.
"That guy, he really can't figure out his movements. If this is the case, there is no other way. But since you have been guilty and violated the Sect's rule of letting the Sect members leave the Sect, I will still punish you,"
"From now on the Elders of the Disciple Hall, Helio Utake will be temporarily relieved of his duties as the Elder of the Disciple Hall and will go on a journey to eradicate the Goblin encampment. Elder Helio is prohibited from returning before completing his mission" Rai Ken announced in front of everyone.
"Well, Chief," replied Helio.
"What..?!! So it was Elder Helio who let his own son leave the Sect..?!!"
"What's right..?!! Who will take his place,"
"Ahh, so not the intruder. I thought there was an intruder looking for trouble in the House of the Sect Chief,"
Everyone who had arrived at the Sect Chief's Residence had witnessed that the Sect Chief had given the task to Elder Helio, to leave the Sect and eradicate the Goblin encampment until it was over. Plus their Elders were forbidden to return before completing it. One of those difficult missions that was even for an Elder though.
"I'm sorry before. Hehehe, I'm let go" Rai Ken said, not forgetting to apologize.
"It's okay, Chief. Then I say retreat" Helio replied.
"Ahh, I almost forgot. I did forbid you to return to the Sect. But I hope you come to the Martial Arts Tournament. Which will most likely be postponed one month from the specified time limit," said Rai Ken.
"Is that true, Chief..?!!" Ask the disciples and sect members who have gathered there.
"Yes. Because of the tragedy of the war that has occurred, we have experienced many difficult things in 2 years. We need time to adjust again" said Rai Ken.
Helio nodded slowly. Before going on a mission to redeem his guilt. Everyone else left the House of the Sect Chief.
After Helio was gone, Misaki looked out of the door beside him. Rai Ken tried his best to smile at him.
"Stop forcing yourself to smile. You know it doesn't look very good" Misaki said, shaking her head slowly.
Rai Ken then sighed slowly. Knowing his wife can't lie.
"Lately I've been feeling more and more trouble. The war is over" complained Rai.
Misaki then approached and sat down beside him. He then pulled one of Rai Ken's ears who was complaining.
According to him, there was someone who held the position of Sect Leader so easily complained just because of internal problems within the Sect.
"Daddy. What kind of Sect Leader could easily complain like this. Where there is another Sect Leader like this," Misaki sneered.
"Aduduha. Honey can you let go. My monkey feels like it's coming off" said Rai Ken.
Misaki let go. Follow what her husband asks.
"Every day you think about every problem. But you yourself seem unwilling to solve every problem. Rather than you continue to complain here, more now you go to the meeting hall. Didn't you send a meeting message to the Hall Elders earlier today?"
Rai Ken patted his forehead. He completely forgot about that. He said goodbye to Misaki and went to the meeting hall to attend the meeting together with the Sect Elders.
Arriving at the Sect Hall. It was seen that the other elders were waiting. Rai Ken also smiled awkwardly against the Sect Elders who were already waiting for him.
"Tumben-tumbenan Sect Chief was late to the meeting," Combat Hall Elder Zain Nekoshi said.
"Huuha.... He himself invited here, ehh he himself was late to attend," said Resource Hall Elder Rena Timber.
"Sorry, sorry. My previous business made me forget about the meeting I had myself," said Rai Ken.
"Lantas, what the Chairman wants to talk about, don't tell me the Chairman will talk about that Retired Martial Tournament. Then where did Helio go, why didn't he attend this meeting. It's a bit strange if he's late for the meeting" said Law Hall Elder Rize Onoki as he glanced to the left right looking for Helio Utake.
"yes too. He is usually the first to arrive. Why is he late now. Sect Chief is this because of you before? Didn't you really tell her to take this meeting first?" Said the Elder of the Artifact Hall, Asila Ryu confirmed.
"Chairman, do we need to wait for him first...?" Ask the Elder of the Training Hall, Dao Li.
"no need. Helio was currently preparing for his departure. And also he will certainly leave immediately after finishing preparing everything," said Rai Ken.
Rai Ken was confused to answer the question. Because previously he had only told the Elders to gather in the hall immediately. Without telling them what to talk about.
Actually, this meeting was specifically held to discuss about Helio that he would send out. For having made the mistake of letting Kenshin leave the Sect without his supervision and permission. But since he had previously made a fuss and all the Sect Elders had also visited his residence and seen what was happening, he had no idea what to talk about now.
Rai Ken sighed slowly. While thinking to determine the purpose of this impromptu meeting.
"Previously this meeting was held to discuss Helio. Which I will send out to carry out the punishment of redemption. For having let Kenshin leave the Sect without my permission. But because of you, the Elders have seen it all then now I will not explain it again. And now what I want to talk about is the vacancy of the Pentagram members after Kenshin left his chair. Now I would like to ask your advice in selecting a replacement for Kenshin" explained Rai Ken.
"The Sect Chief is right, the True Fire Pentagram is an important existence that will protect the True Fire Flame Sect in the future. So I decided to talk about this at this meeting" Zain Nekoshi agreed.
"For this I have a good candidate. His talents and abilities are at least not far from my son. At least I'm sure that he's worthy of this. Isn't that so, Elder Dao Li..?" asila Ryu.
"No, no. Elder Ryu must be joking, where maybe my son deserves to be juxtaposed with the four of them," Elder Dao Li replied in denial of Asila Ryu's words.
"Come on, Elder Dao Li. You're too demeaning to yourself and your son. Your son's basic mastery had not reached a high level before the four of them reached it. How can you say that he doesn't deserve to be with our children. Are you mocking us..?!" Ask Rize Onoki.
"Ehh, Rize, that's not what he meant" said Rena Timber.
"Although his basic mastery was truly high-level, yet he was still lacking in direct combat experience. Very different from your children" said Dao Li.
The Combat Hall elder, Zain immediately whispered something to him.
The meeting lasted quite a long time because the Elder of the Training Hall, Dao Li who always refused the wishes of the other Elders to raise his son. But after so long later, elected who will fill the void, which is in accordance with what Asila Ryu suggested at the beginning, Gao Li. Son of the Elder of the Li Dao Training Hall as Kenshin's successor in the New Generation Pentagram.

Before leaving Helio took the time to go home. He picked up equipment and items he might need during his travels. Such as medicinal pills, artifacts, and some materials.
A moment later a person who was assigned to guard his residence came.
"Nie Yu's. I leave my house to you. Take good care of me while I'm gone. Catch this," Helio ordered while giving her a small parcel.
"What's this..?" Nie Yu asked as she opened the small parcel. His eyes widened to see the contents of the parcel.
"This...!!! The Ganas Red Tiger Gem...!!! Elder are you sure you gave this to me...?" Nie Yu asked.
"Of course for you. That thing isn't worth much to me anyway. That thing has long stifled my storage ring. I'd better give it to you" Helio said.
Even Nie Yu could not cover up her excitement. He thanked Helio for his gift. It just so happened that he was indeed in need of an Animal Spirit that was stronger than his current possession.
After giving the Ganas Red Tiger Gem, Helio left the Sect. Not only the Sect disciples, it was seen that the people in Fire City respected him as well. Everyone looked down respectfully and smiled to greet him.
"Well, that's how. Even though the war is over. But there are still many small groups of enemy parties in our territory. And the Chairman assigned me to clean up the groups" Helio explained.
The two gatekeepers were shocked to hear it.
"Do you need an elder to take care of this..? Aren't we short on people to clean up their remains. Doesn't our Sect have many Master and King level cultivators. Why should it also be an Elder whose level is clearly at the Senior level," said one of the astonished guards.
"We do have many Soul level cultivators up to the King level. However, we must also always be prepared and alert. We also do not know when and where the enemy will return to attack" Helio explained again.
The guards looked at each other. According to him, Helio's words made enough sense. Because the Sect also did require a large amount of power in close numbers. While the Sect must also join in sending in cultivators. In an attempt to purge small groups of enemy parties.
"After all, I was just an Elder of the Hall. For the matter of guarding the Sect there were still 90 Fire Elders and 5 other Hall Elders. Plus there are 5 Pentagrams that have been serving from the beginning in protecting the Sect from all sorts of dangers,"
"Ahh, after a second thought is also true what the elder said. Then good luck, Elder..!!" Said the gatekeeper.
Finished talking to the guards. Helio begins his journey in an effort to carry out the mission of redemption. The one given by the Sect Leader for him.
***
The True Fire Flame Sect consisted of 100 Flame Elders consisting of 100 cultivators with the Sacred Elder Realm to the Great Gods.
Yet once Rai Ken ordered 10 Flame Elders and dozens of Sacred and Senior Realm cultivators on a mission to trace the relics of a Heavenly Expert cultivator. As unexpected events occur, they are all killed while on the mission. Which after being examined apparently they were ambushed by Tian Lan's forces.
And it was at that moment that the 10 seats of the Sect Elders were empty. Which was then because the Sect lacked advanced cultivators Rai Ken even pointed at those 10 people whose cultivation was the highest. Below the lowest cultivation of the Fire Elders.
***
The next day the City of Fire was shocked by the appointment of Shiro to become the Chairman of the 11th generation Pentagram. Gao Li replaced Kenshin. Because at this time, Kenshin is reportedly undergoing a secret mission. So Pula with his father who is on a mission to clean up the remnants of a small group of enemy parties.
The party lasted about a week. Until then, the party ended the day after the arrival of Taki Garaki, the Elder of the Research Hall.
Just as Taki Garaki was entering the city of Fire, he noticed that there was a very lively party in the city. Unfortunately, he did not get to participate in the fun.
Taki rushed to the Sect Chief's residence to report the success of his mission. Taki who knew nothing asked the Sect Chief about what had happened when he was not around.
"Huhhh, it's a pity that I can't keep up with the fun of this party" he said, exhaling softly.
