Creak!

The gates of Ye Tian Yun\'s cultivation abodes were pushed open as he walked out in the open.

It had been one whole day since he came out of the consciousness space after a chat with Wang Yao and then cultivated for the whole night.

\'Let\'s head for the Elder\'s Hall.\'

In normal strides, Ye Tian Yun walked through the sixth floor, passed the stairway, and then came out of the Inner Court.

However, along the way, Ye Tian Yun suddenly noticed something weird.

The way the disciples were looking at him was weird.

Yesterday many didn\'t even seem to know him, but today they were avoiding him.

\'Did I overdo it?\'

Ye Tian Yun didn\'t think that the guy from yesterday would spill the secret of his cultivation.

\'I was just having a bit of fun… Sigh…\'

He shook his head and headed for the Elder\'s Hall.

Each peak had an Elder\'s Hall, and this was the place where the Elder\'s managed, lived, and cultivated in the respective peaks.

These halls were mostly situated at the base of the peaks because that would make them closer to the first and second floors of the peak - and on these floors were their cultivation abodes, with the highest Qi Density of the peaks.

Soon, after walking down the slope, Ye Tian Yun reached in front of a two-storey building at the base of the Seventh Peak.

When Ye Tian Yun had first come here for the Inner Court Token, the way to the Inner Court was also through this floor; however, that way was later closed.

And the one which Ye Tian Yun was currently using opened away from the peak.

Ye Tian Yun took a light breath and headed inside the Elder\'s Hall.

The hall was pretty huge, with high ceilings and even exquisite designs.

There were three to four tables arranged at different corners of the hall, and on the other side of each table was an elder.

There was a small queue of disciples in front of the elders.

Just like Ye Tian Yun, they too must have come here to ask for something or put out their grievances, or maybe bring up a request.

Ye Tian Yun went to the shortest queue and stood at the last.

After about ten minutes, his turn finally came.

"Greetings, Elder," Ye Tian Yun cupped his fists.

The Elder just waved at him and asked, "What is it?"

Ye Tian Yun asked, "Elder, I need to go back to my clan."

The Elder frowned and shook his head, "No. You can take up missions and all, but you can\'t take a leave right now. There are few things that the higher-ups are currently planning to do, and they don\'t want the disciples to go back to their clans just yet."

Ye Tian Yun requested once again, "Elder, there is an emergency, and I must take my leave."

"Hm," The Elder frowned and asked,"What is the emergency?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "Elder, I am sure you must have already heard about the war. My clan is directly affected by the war, and my presence is a must."

"Which clan are you from?" 

"Fang Clan, from the Capital City."

"Oh, wait, are you the son of the Prime Minister?" The Elder asked in surprise.

"Elder, do you know me?" Ye Tian Yun was also surprised at his words.

\'I kept a low profile, and there\'s no way he even knows me personally. Is the Fang Clan that famous?\'

"Well, you\'re pretty well known among us," The Elder replied, "All Elders were surprised at your admission into the sect and even more shocked by your performance in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt. What\'s your name? Fang Chen?"

"Yes, Elder. I am indeed Fang Chen." Ye Tian Yun replied with a smile.

"Hm, alright," The Elder nodded his head, "I understand. You do have a valid reason. The Fang Clan will definitely have to take part in the war one way or the other. So you will be taking leave till the war ends?"

Ye Tian Yun nodded, "Indeed, Elder. If that is possible."

"Alright," The Elder then scribbled something on the paper, "When are you planning to leave?"

Ye Tian Yun replied, "I would like to leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" The Elder frowned, "I will see what I can do. This paper needs to be signed by the Head Elder, and you know that the Head Elder is now also the Peak Master, so she will be too busy for a few days."

Ye Tian Yun pursed his lips, "I can\'t have any delays, Elder. There\'s a chance I may be dispatched to the Southern Province by the King."

"Oh?" The Elder suddenly frowned, "Hm, if that\'s the case, then I think you won\'t face any trouble."

Ye Tian Yun was surprised by this. \'Is King Xin\'s influence that high in the Gracious Sword Sect?\'

As if reading his mind, the Elder smiled and replied, "It\'s not because the Sect is afraid of the King, but because of the Royal Edict that has been issued."

"A Royal Edict?" Ye Tian Yun was once again surprised.

An Edict, be it Royal or imperial, holds a powerful influence over the region it commands. It\'s something that everyone must respect, even though they are more powerful than the King himself.

If they do not abide by it or are disrespectful, everyone else in the whole kingdom will unite against them.

In simple words, this was a complicated matter.

"What was in the Royal Edict?" Ye Tian Yun asked.

The Elder replied, "Basically, the King doesn\'t wish for the sects and other clans to interfere or obstruct the main army or anyone who\'s going to take part in the war."

"That is why, if what you said is true, then the Gracious Sword Sect won\'t obstruct your stay. We may not prefer the King, but the Sect will always respect a Royal Edict. Come back here after an hour. I will have it signed."

Ye Tian Yun light nodded, "Thank you, Elder."

\'This turned out to be easier than I thought.\'

The Elder nodded, "Alright, if there\'s nothing else, then make way for the next disciple."
