Chapter 31 You Can’t Stay Neutral
'Is he drunk?' Yang Feng thought involuntarily, staring intently at Victor, but finding no confirmation to his suspicions, he had to accept his son's absurd decision.
"What do you want from me?" - Asked Yang Feng, as he knew that Victor would not come just to tell him that, which meant that he needed something.
Coughing awkwardly, Victor replied:
"I need two things, the first is to learn more about sects since I know very little about them and the second is about Su Rong…" - He didn't continue since he knew that Yang Feng must have understood.
At her name both looked at each other awkwardly, sighing slightly.
"There are many sects, but they are divided into righteous and demonic as you should already know. If you join a righteous sect, all demonic cultivators become your enemies, and if you join a demonic sect, the opposite happens, you become the enemy of righteous factions. Meaning that by choosing one you automatically become the enemy of the other.
"Aren't there any neutral sects?" - Victor asked curiously.
When Victor asked this, Yang Feng laughed darkly.
"Of course there are, but they are all small and could be destroyed at any time if they found themselves in a quarrel between righteous and demonic sects."
"Fuck." Victor couldn't help but swear, because he wanted to remain neutral until he was strong enough to resolve conflicts on his own.
Looking at Victor's gloomy face, Yang Feng tried to console him:
"If you've really decided to devote your life firmly to cultivation, you'll need to choose one side, our Yang Clan will support you in any case.
"He really is a good father." Victor thought while reminiscing about his parents, the difference between them was like heaven and earth, his past parents constantly demanded money from him and when he couldn't provide them anymore, they threw him away like a broken thing, straight into the trash can. On the other hand Yang Feng tried to support his son, despite the fact that he used to be a complete disappointment.
Victor was moved by his father's words, even if he was not his real father, at this point he made a decision to protect the Yang Clan and try to let it rise above all the other clans.
"The righteous and demonic sects have a difference only in the fact that the righteous are sort of the heroes of this world, while the demonic sects are considered evil. But the truth is that the line between the two is completely blurred and they are actually very similar, and it is only because of the rumors that mortals spread that demonic sects have this image."
"You can choose any of the parties, but it depends on what you want, for example if you join a righteous sect on top of cultivation you have to fight evil, for example to eliminate various demons or invasions of bandits in different cities, as you complete such tasks you will become famous and can even be in the spotlight of all the sects."
"Whereas in the demonic sects you do what you want, you can devote all your time to cultivation, if you like something you can go and get it and everything depends on your own strength." 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮
At the words of Yang Feng, Victor thought for a while, becoming a hero was definitely not in his plans, fighting evil and amassing glory and at the same time making lot of enemies would be the stupidest choice in his life, given the deal with the gods.
"I like the demonic sect better, it's too much trouble to become a hero." - Victor replied, unlike the righteous sects, in his opinion the demonic ones were much simpler reflecting the real face of the cultivation world than the righteous ones.
Don't these righteous sect heroes kill people? Or rob for treasure?
It is exactly the same, but if the demonic sects fully admits their actions and do not find an excuse because it is a cruel world of cultivation where the weak have no place, the righteous sects simply wear masks, being in fact complete hypocrites, who hide a lot of dirty deeds behind their masks.
"No wonder." - Mumbled Yang Feng, as he was not at all surprised by Victor's decision, most of the members of the Yang Clan were disciples of demonic sects and he knew that they were much easier to deal with, unlike the disciples who were in the righteous sects who could always smile on the surface but at any moment could stab you in the back when you did not expect it at all.
Even the ancestor of the Yang Clan was a member of a demonic sect.
Of course, if Yang Feng had not known the true face of the righteous sects he would have been furious at Victor's decision, but he was not ignorant of it and therefore was even happy with Victor's decision.
"Among the demonic sects, there are several major ones, but their face is the "Temple of the Dark Moon", followed by the "Sect of Pleasure", and finally the third most powerful "Hall of Blood". The Temple of the Dark Moon acts like a normal sect, except that it forbids relationships between men and women, so while you're a student of the temple you have to completely cut off any relationships. But as soon as you want to leave the cult, you can have a relationship with a woman again without any problems." f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
"The pleasure sect is a dual cultivation sect, absolutely all the disciples are involved in dual cultivation, unless you want to wear a green hat on your head all the time, I recommend that you don't join this sect.
"And finally the Hall of Blood, students of the sect learn bloody techniques such as the bloody puppet for which they have to sacrifice a lot of people, simply put absolutely all students of this sect are inhuman cultists and it is one of the main factors as to why demonic sects have such a bad reputation in the world. Besides these three major sects, there are many more, but still, it all depends on your abilities. If you don't have the talent, then not even the Hall of Blood will want to take you in as a disciple." - At these words, Yang Feng carefully looked at Victor, as he himself did not know if his son had the potential because he had neglected his cultivation until this very moment.
