Some stayed, others left. In any case, the banquet was enormous and went on for several days. Only then was everyone who wasn't part of the Sacred Land invited to leave. Fabio took the chance to come and talk with Rean and the others. "The five of you will obviously stay here. However, I hope you don't forget our deal. If I need your help in the future, you have to come to me as long as it isn't anything overboard."

Samanta and the rest nodded in response. Milina, however, couldn't help but hug Fabio. She never thought she could have succeeded in entering the Sacred Land, even if it was as an Outer Disciple. "Thank you, Uncle Fabio. I won't forget all you did for me. Please, tell my family about what happened. I'm sure none of them believe I would pass the test, so they're definitely waiting for me to come back."

Fabio laughed and nodded in response. "Hahaha! Alright, alright. Your father is a friend of mine, so I'll explain it to him. I'm sure everyone from your branch family will be dying out of jealousy."

Rean and Roan also exchanged a few words with Fabio before he finally left with the other princes, princesses, and the participants from the Kamos Kingdom that failed the tests. 

Samanta, Regio, and Milina also took the chance to say goodbye to Rean and Roan as they were being sent to the outer part of the Sacred Land. "We don't know if we'll be able to go to the Inner Sacred Land any time soon. After all, we wouldn't have succeeded in this test if not for your help. Nevertheless, we will try our best as everyone in the Outer Region gets the same treatment. We can finally match those geniuses from the top countries."

Rean nodded with a satisfied expression. "You say that, but during the capture the flag tests, you did help us out a lot. Us two alone wouldn't be able to fight five guys at the same time."

Even Roan agreed on that. "I thought all of you would be useless, but it turns out that wasn't the case. Not too bad."

Samanta felt the urge to beat him again. Unfortunately, she knew she wasn't his match. "Hmph! Just you wait." With that, she turned around. "Let's go, everyone."

As for Rean and Roan, they were told to wait in the banquet hall once the party was finished. There was also Venali, Liana, and the other competitors who ended up in the top ten. Eventually, only them, Cassia, and a few elders remained there. "All of you, come here."

Rean's group then gathered and waited for Cassia's orders.

"You will all get your own private estates inside the Sacred Land. They aren't big, but it's much better than the shared buildings of the Outer Sacred Land disciples." She then threw a triangle-shaped token at them. "These are your keys and also your proof of membership in the Sacred Land. Put a drop of your blood over it, and it will bind to you. Even if someone else tries to use the token, it won't work. Also, you better not lose it as you will have to pay a hefty price to make a new one."

Cassia continued, "The Sacred Land isn't much different than the general sects out there. If there's a difference, it's the fact that we rarely intervene in the struggles between countries of our continent. We try to keep a neutral position at all times, which also guarantees our power. Unless we find a situation similar to the Soul Eater Sect, we won't move a finger."

"However, you're still allowed to help your own countries and families. Just keep in mind that when you do that, you cannot use the name of the Sacred Land against your enemies. Even if you die while doing so, we won't go out there to take revenge for you. When I say our Sacred Land is neutral, I mean it! If it is found that you tried to use the Sacred Land's name improperly, let's say, to stop a war against your own country, you will be punished."

"Of course, you can use the Sacred Land's name for other things. For example, to get a vacancy in some important auction that usually wouldn't have a slot for you. To get information in the many countries and regions of our Huring Continent and so on. In those cases, you don't need to hold back at all and make full use of your status as Sacred Land disciples."

"Alright! Rean and Roan will come with me. The rest will follow the elder in front of each of you as they will show you your residences. If you have any questions, just ask them before they leave. After all, you're all on your own. The sect rules can be found in a jade slip inside your estates."

"Yes, Elder Cassia!" Everyone bowed to her at the same time.

With that, Cassia and the others left. Liana, Venali, and the others couldn't help but think about the twins, though. After all, they did see what happened in the guest hall. Unfortunately, they couldn't follow the twins to find out.

Cassia didn't bring the twins to their new residences, though. Instead, she headed straight to Core Elder Etherian. It's just that she was barred on the way there. "Elder Cassia, wait!"

They looked back and could see a man flying in their direction. Rean and Roan immediately recognized him as Fabio shared the information with them. It was Paulo, an ancestor of the Kamos Kingdom that was supposed to arrange things for the twins. "Elder Cassia, I'm from the same kingdom as them and agreed with my descendant that I would take care of the twins while they're here. Would you mind if I took it from here?"

Cassia pondered over it for a bit before saying, "I have to bring the twins to Core Elder Etherian. If you want, you can follow me. After that, I'll leave all the arrangements to you then."

"Core Elder Etherian?!" Paulo was taken aback. After he talked with Fabio, he left to take care of a few things and only came back after the event with Etherian and the twins. Naturally, the information of what happened didn't reach his ears. Of course, he immediately accepted the invite as meeting one of the Ten Greats wasn't simple, even for him.. "Alright, I'm going."
