Lightning Is the Only Way

Of course, the Sect didn't react with silent acceptance to the Sect Master's words.

What was she talking about!?

They had lived like this forever, and they had built their entire lives around living in such an environment, and suddenly, all of this was no longer important?

Criticism and complaints immediately rained down on the Sect Master.

The people were not happy.

However, after the first person that had actually made a threat had been thrown into the fire, everyone became more taciturn.

"Stay in the Sect or don't stay in the Sect. Things will happen this way. Accept it or leave."

Most of the disciples looked with frustration and anger at their Sect Master.

She could only suppress them because she was so much more powerful!

She wasn't able to defend herself with logical arguments, so she resorted to her power, forcefully suppressing all dissent.

This was so unfair!

After the Sect Master had made her stance clear, the Sect calmed down somewhat.

What did the disciples do?

Some of them continued debating in a calm tone with the Sect Master, trying to convince her that the old way was better.

That didn't work.

Some of them silently accepted the changes. They had been in the Eternal Fire Sect all their life, and it wouldn't be easy to join another Sect. After all, it was possible that they could be perceived as spies. Changing Sects was possible, but truly becoming part of another Sect took time and effort.

Some were quite happy about the changes. They had seen that the Sect was putting too much emphasis on strategy, and they rejoiced when the Sect finally changed.

Some straight-up left the Sect. This was not their home anymore, and they would search for a new home somewhere else. Some of them decided to make their own Sects, while others decided to join other powerful Sects.

These people swore to take revenge on their old Sect Master.

The last group of people went on strike.

They created some form of union and refused to do anything for the Sect until the old ways had been reinstated.
