Chapter 105 Ready To Build A Faction


    "Good to see you all! Chief Zenith, Dominant Top Elder and other Elders!" Ricky said politely as he was


    suspended in midair by Zenith''s power.


    Ricky felt contented at their shocked faces, especially the dismay on Boris'' and Elder Logan''s face.


    It was certain that these people hadpletely expected that he would end up dead. But now he had


    returned, safe and sound. It was easy to see they were so astonished.


    "Ricky, howe you''re not dead!?" Elder Evan and other Elders asked in disbelief, their eyes wide


    open.


    "Do you all want me dead so badly?" Ricky responded with a faint smile. His eyes swept over Boris,


    who looked utterly displeased.


    "Ha-ha, well like I''ve observed before. Since you have mastered the Nine-degree Body Refining


    Form, there was no way you would die at the Blizzard Cliff!" Elder Mateoughed, reacting first.


    "Ricky, please tell us how did you survive these past two months?" Elder Abbott was very curious.


    "I luckily found a cave, which was too small for the fierce beasts to enter. So I survived there," Ricky


    answered with a smile.


    "A cave? You were so fortunate!"


    "All right. Since Ricky has returned unharmed, I think we should start leaving the Blizzard Cliff," Zenith


    said to the Elders at that time.


    Then Zenith, Ricky and several Elders left first. Boris and the three others remained.


    "Dominant Top Elder, it''s impossible! There have never been caves on the Blizzard Cliff!" Elder Logan


    said indignantly.


    "I know. Zenith must have given Ricky something to help him survive. I should have thought about


    that!" Boris said angrily.


    "But it''s no big deal. He''s just a Blood Purification warrior, after all! Zenith is not in control of everything.


    It''s not the end of our ns. As for his real strength, only time will tell.


    What you should do now is to recruit more disciples, especially core disciples and disciples at a high


    grade of Blood Purification! Focus on this!"


    "Yes, understood." Elder Logan and the two others nodded.


    ......


    The moment Ricky stepped foot in the Snow Sect, everyone who saw him lost their minds.


    They hadn''t expected that Ricky would survive. An uproar of voices filled the air again, heated


    discussions left and right.


    Ricky ignored the noise. Aftering down from the Zenith Mountain, he went straight to his courtyard.


    Grace met him with concerned scolding. If Ricky hadn''t acted impulsively and let his temper get the


    best of him, nothing would have happened and Grace wouldn''t have been so worried about him for two


    months!


    Ricky epted Grace''s criticism graciously, knowing that she was angry because she cared for him.


    Then Ricky told Grace what he had been thinking. He wanted to establish a faction within the Snow


    Sect. And his goal was clear- he wanted to have a faction that would stand up against the Casting and


    Refinement Factions.


    Now that he was at the fifth grade of the Blood Purification, he could manage to get a foothold in the


    Snow Sect.


    So he wanted to found a faction. It would be quite impossible for him to fight the two factions that hated


    him all by himself.


    "You want to build a faction!?" Grace said with disbelief. Her disciple was proving to be even more and


    more ambitious!


    "Yes, Master," Ricky acknowledged with a nod.


    "Do you have contacts inside the core of the sect?" Grace asked.


    "What would that have to do with me founding a faction?" Ricky asked, a little in over his head. He


    didn''t know why Grace asked that question.


    "I know your strength has improved greatly, Ricky. But do you think you can rival any of the top ten


    inner disciples? If you want to build a faction, you have to announce it to the whole inner division of the


    sect. Otherwise no one will acknowledge you," Grace exined.


    "Once you make the announcement, Refinement Faction and Casting Faction will definitelye to


    pick a fight with you. It will be inevitable. Any faction must go through it. Even the sect chief is forbidden


    to intervene!"


    "I understand." Ricky nodded, sinking deep in thought.


    "So you need to have an ally in a strong warrior who is influential in the inner division if you want to


    build a faction. They must be at least at the same level as the top ten inner disciples," Grace added.


    "Master Grace, have you heard of someone named Autn? I''m guessing that he is among the top ten


    inner disciples?" Ricky said, remembering the gant young man.


    "You know Autn!?" Grace was a little surprised. She had no idea how Ricky could have met him!


    "I ran into him once, before I went to Stone City," Ricky replied.


    "I see." Grace thought for a moment, then exined, "Autn is not among the top ten inner disciples,


    but he is as well-known as Gennadi, the best among the inner disciples."


    "Autn is not one of the top ten inner disciples, but he''s as famed as Gennadi. I''m confused, Master.


    How does that work?" Ricky asked, his brows furrowed.


    "Autn is formidable. It is quite well-known that he defeated Gennadi many times. But he never

    participates in the Outer Competition and Inner Competition, which is why he doesn''t join the ranks,"


    Grace borated.


    "He is considered as a disciple of the sect chief, because he lives on Zenith Mountain.


    Aside from this, no one in the Snow Sect except for Chief Zenith knows his origin. It''s as if he appeared


    into this world out of nowhere."


    "He is so mysterious! That makes me even more curious about him now!" Ricky murmured, wracking


    his brain about how he could concievably make Autn his ally.


    "Ricky, if you can get Autn to be your ally, I will take care of the core disciples!" Grace said,


    looking at Ricky.


    "That''s a deal, Master. Your help will be much appreciated!" Ricky responded quickly, smiling widely.


    "Of course. But you must understand that I will only do it upon condition that you can aplish your


    goal. Autn returned the other day. Now, maybe he is cultivating on the Zenith Mountain. You have to


    seize the chance, otherwise he will be nowhere to be found for months on end once he finishes," Grace


    warned Ricky.


    "Master Grace, get yourself ready to help me convince the core disciples. I will go find Autn now!"


    And so, this was how Ricky came to the Zenith Mountain once again.


    "Ricky, why are you here?" Edgar asked in confusion at the sight of their unexpected visitor.


    "Edgar, where does Autnmence with his cultivation?" Ricky asked.


    "In the side room in the east. He will probably take a few more days to finish. You can go home, and I


    will send word to you the moment he''s done," Edgar suggested.


    "Thank you for the offer, Edgar! But if it''s possible… Do you think I could stay here and wait instead?


    Don''t drive me away, please!" Ricky said.


    "Oh, of course! I would be happy to have you here!" Edgar was very excited, because he was keen to


    learn from Ricky andpare notes. Even if hegged far behind Ricky now, there was no envy for


    Ricky in his heart.


    "Ricky, what have youe to Autn for?" Edgar asked curiously.


    Ricky sat him down and proceeded to tell Edgar his ns, not hiding anything from his friend.
