Fighting the Patriarch
"What are you talking about? You're from the Bloodfiend Sect, not Aderite City," the Ashcort Patriarch replied, his voice slightly raised.
He had not expected a Bloodfiend Sect member to show up out of the blue. The Bloodfiend Sect was the strongest sect in the lands, and so he knew to tread carefully. However, everyone knew the Bloodfiend Sect had quite a hands off approach regarding its members.
The Sect believed that aiding its disciples was a source of weakness, and so they mostly left them to their own when outside of the sect. If a Bloodfiend Disciple was killed, they would not retaliate unless those who did the killing also besmirched the reputation of the Bloodfiend Sect itself.
With this in mind, the Ashcort Patriarch decided to tread carefully, but would not back down in front of the youth before him.
