Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen

Xu Ming was stunned as he heard the questions of the man.

Had the man noticed something? He thought.

"I'm from nowhere and my parents are dead." Xu Ming replied.

"Oh? I expected that to be the case since you were a servant in the sect, but how can you be from nowhere?" A smile appeared on Elder Wu's face as he asked.

"Well, It is what it sounds like. My home has been destroyed and my parents are killed. Thus, I'm from nowhere now." Xu Ming replied.

"Your parents were human right?" The man asked Xu Ming.

"What else can they be? Are you joking with me, Elder?" Xu Ming acted ignorant.

"Oh, it's nothing." Elder Wu smiled as he shook his head.

"Let's go back." He further said.

The Profound Eagle turned back and started flying towards the sect.

It didn't take much time for them to be back in the sect.

The Profound Eagle got down in front of a beautiful looking residence.

"That's my place. You can come to me in the future if you need someone to talk to." Elder Wu smilingly said to Xu Ming.

"Here is the badge. Always wear it with pride since it signifies that you're an outer sect disciple." Elder Wu took out a small badge from his Spatial Ring and gave it to Xu Ming.

He also gave him a yellow disciple's robe.

"He should be here soon." Elder Wu let out as if he was waiting for someone.

"Elder, You called for me?" A boy came up to him and asked.

The boy was wearing a yellow disciple's robe and a badge. The badge was similar to the one that Xu Ming had just received. He looked to be 16 years old.

"Little Ming, this is Wu Tian. He's an outer sect disciple, but he is quite senior compared to you."

"Wu Tian, this little guy here is Xu Ming. He just became an outer sect disciple. I'm making you responsible for showing him around. Treat him as a little brother alright." Elder Wu said as he faced the 16-year-old boy.

"Of course, Elder Wu. Come, little brother. I'll show you around." Wu Tian said with a kind smile on his face.

Since Elder Wu himself gave him the task, how can he deny?

"Alright, I will take my leave now." Elder Wu let out and started walking towards his residence.

The strangest thing was that Elder Wu had no stick and he couldn't see, still, he was walking straight towards the door without any problem.

Xu Ming left with Wu Tian.

Wu Tian showed him around the Outer Sect, but since Xu Ming had been a servant here, he had already seen most of the place.

Wu Tian only showed him around the places but didn't take him inside.

Since it was getting quite late, he just wanted to give Xu Ming a short introduction and show him in detail tomorrow.

After taking a round of the outer sect, Wu Tian took him to the residences of the outer sect disciple.

That was one of the biggest advantages of being an outer sect disciple.

The second advantage was that they could go to the skill hall and choose one skill and one cultivation manual to study.

The Outer Sect disciples were also given 10 Qi crystals every month that they could use up to cultivate.

Those advantages were what most people cared for. That's why the old cultivation families sent their brightest members to the Mighty Demon Sect.

The sheer quantity of the resources that the mighty demon sect possessed was incredible. The growth one could achieve inside the sect could never have been achieved outside the sect.

At Least that's what the others thought. There were also quite a few unorthodox cultivators that had never stayed inside any sect, but they were still frightening cultivators.

"Can you show me your disciple badge?" Wu Tian said.

"Sure." Xu Ming replied as he showed his badge to Wu Tian.

Wu Tian looked at the badge carefully and noticed a small number carved on the badge.

"So you got Courtyard no.2595. Not bad." Wu Tian said as he started walking in a certain direction.

Xu Ming kept the badge back in his pocket and followed him.

After walking for around 5 minutes, Wu Tian finally stopped.

He turned to his right and faced a beautiful looking courtyard.

"That is your place. You can go and rest for now. I'll meet you outside the Skill Hall tomorrow morning. I'll help you select a skill." Wu Tian informed Xu Ming.

"Thank you." Xu Ming thanked Wu Tian.

"Alright, I'll take my leave." Wu Tian turned back and left. Xu Ming was left behind.

Xu Ming turned back and started walking as well, but he didn't walk towards his courtyard.

The direction he was walking towards was the place where the servants quarters were located.

It took him 25 minutes to get to ward no. 4.

He stood outside his old hut as he observed it.

It wasn't like he wanted to stay here since what he needed the most was his privacy, but he wanted to inform the others at least.

He stepped forward and pushed the door open.

The door wasn't closed. The others must have left it open for him, he thought.

"There you are! We were starting to get worried about where you were... Wait a minute... why are you wearing that yellow robe?" Yao noticed Xu Ming as he breathed in relief, but he suddenly noticed the clothes that he was wearing.

"Little brother, did you find that robe somewhere? Don't wear it. If an outer sect disciple saw a servant wearing the tone, it'll be bad." Dong Zheng said in a hurry.

He hurriedly stood up and closed the door behind Xu Ming.

"Come on... what are you waiting for?" He said as he glared at him.
