"Yuan, I have been wondering this ever since I learned that you were blind… But how do you see where you're going? You can move and even fight better than most people who can see… I almost didn't believe it when I first heard it." Wang Ming said to him as they walked down the street as one big group.

"Although I am blind… I am not actually blind. I can see using divine sense." Yuan said, and he began explaining to them about divine sense.

"The grand elders are Spirit Masters as well, but they cannot use divine sense." Wang Bingbing shook her head.

"By the way, what's the faction going to be called?" Shi Lang then asked.

"Demon Sealing Faction," Yuan calmly responded.

"D-Demon Sealing…?" They all looked at him with wide eyes.

"Does this mean…"

"Yes, our purpose is to deal with the demons that will eventually break out of their seal. Of course, I don't actually expect any of you to fight the demons. I can handle them alone, but if you wish to learn how to seal demons, I can teach you."

"Really?! You'll teach us how to defeat demons?!" Wang Ming exclaimed in an excited voice.

After what happened at the Jaded Garden, he wished that he had the ability to fight demons.

"If that's what you want." Yuan nodded.

Sometime later, they arrived at the Cultivators' Association that was as busy as ever with cultivators mostly at the Spirit Apprentice level walking around.

Yuan took a deep breath, clearing the bad memories he had in this place, before walking inside with the others.

Upon entering the building, Meixiu said, "Follow me."

She brought them to the faction area, where people go to create or advertise their factions.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The receptionist sitting behind the desk asked.

"We're here to register for a new faction," Meixiu said.

"A new faction, right? Do you wish to be an official faction or merely a faction in name?" The receptionist then asked.

"What's the difference?"

"In order to become an official faction, you must pay a certain fee to be registered in the official faction list. As an official faction, you will get to advertise at our Cultivators' Association and receive recognition from the government."

"If you only want to be a faction in name, you will still be registered in the system, but you won't be recognized as a real faction." The receptionist explained.

"So it's all about the money in the end, huh?" Wang Ming laughed.

And he continued, "I don't think we need to pay them to be an official faction. Once the people realize who is running the faction, they will have no choice but to consider us official, right, Yuan?"

'W-Wait… Did he just say 'Yuan'?' The receptionist doubted his ears.

Then he realized that two of them were wearing masks, something Player Yuan was known for.

"A-Are you perhaps Player Yuan?" The receptionist asked the one that emitted the stronger presence.

"Yes, I am." Yuan calmly responded.

"P-Please give me a moment…"

The receptionist then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Yes… Player Yuan is here at desk number 3…"

The receptionist hung up after that sentence and returned to them with a nervous smile on his face.

"Our chairman will personally take care of you, esteemed guests," he said.

Two minutes later, they could see a middle-aged man with a short but neat beard running in their direction.

"W-Welcome to the Cultivators' Association, Player Yuan! I am Chairman Lee, Chairman Zhao's replacement following his resignation. First and foremost, allow me to personally apologize for what happened previously. I promise that no such thing will ever happen again as long as I am the Chairman." Chairman Lee respectfully bowed to them.

This attracted the people there.

"Hey… Isn't that person with the black mask Player Yuan? What's he doing back at the Cultivators' Association? Did they offend him again?"

Meanwhile, Yuan remained calm and said, "What happened in the past has nothing to do with you, so I don't understand why you feel the need to apologize to me. Just let it go."

"Thank you for your pardon. Now then, how may I help you?"

"We're here to start our own faction," Yuan said.

"Of course. Allow me to help you." Chairman Lee then turned to look at the receptionist with an intensive gaze.

The receptionist quickly stepped aside to allow Chairman Lee to get behind the desk. This is the first time the receptionist has seen Chairman Lee so eager to work their job.

"Alright, I am ready. I just need the details now— Oh, right. I nearly forgot. You need at least 10 people to create a faction, or I won't be able to register it in the system."

"We have ten people here," Yuan said.

"Great. Then let's start with the name of the faction."

"Demon Sealing Faction," Yuan immediately said.

"D-Demon…?" Chairman Lee looked at Yuan with a dazed face for a good moment before snapping out of it and typing it into the computer.

"As for the leader of the faction… I am assuming it's going to be you?" Chairman Lee asked him a moment later.

"Who else is more qualified to be the leader than him here?" Li Jinxi sneered, almost as though she was mocking his question.

"I-I understand… What about the vice-leaders? You can have two of them at most."

Yuan then said, "Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang."

After typing their name into the system, Chairman Lee spoke, "Can I have the others' name now?"

Wang Ming and the others began giving their names one by one.

Once all of their names were in the system, Chairman Lee created their faction.

Normally, a newly registered faction would need to be vetted first before they are approved, but with Chairman Lee's position within the Cultivators' Association, they easily skipped all of those steps and instantly got approved as an official faction.

"Congratulations, your faction 'Demon Sealing Faction' has been created. If you ever need anything or have any questions, you are free to contact me at any time and I will do my best to help you." Chairman Lee said to them afterward.
