X-Dragon Era-Chapter 509 - s 367-369: The Prototype of the Dragon Gate_5
Hearing Xin Yun’s words, the Five Rat Brothers’ eyes lit up. They first bowed to Xin Yun, and then, in order of seniority and age, took their designated seats that had been prepared for them.
Seeing this, Xin Yun nodded with a smile and then turned his head to the Dual Assassins, saying, "You two sit on those two chairs beside the Five Rat Brothers." Upon hearing Xin Yun’s words, the Dual Assassins happily took each other’s hand and sat down on the two chairs, their faces full of uncontrollable joy.
Next, Xin Yun turned his head to Luo Yong, Luo Meng, Luo Wei, Luo Wu—the four brothers—and Luo Li, Luo Lan, Luo Xiang—the three sisters—smiling as he said, "The seven of you sit on that row of chairs on the right."
Upon hearing Xin Yun’s words, the seven youngsters, each of different sizes and ages, excitedly scrambled over, causing a commotion as they grabbed chairs and sat down.
Following Xin Yun’s indication, Yan Qingying’s Twelve Apostles and Ming Xuan’s 365 disciples lined up in a square formation in front of the throne within the great hall, standing straight without uttering a word, on this occasion, they didn’t have seats.
Once everything was properly arranged, with a thought from Xin Yun, a golden bridge appeared out of thin air, landing in front of the steps. Upon the golden bridge, a pale blue figure gracefully descended.
Smiling at the sight of this blue silhouette, Xin Yun said with a laugh, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our main stronghold’s guardian deity, the Angel Envoy of Ice—Lan Se Guardian Envoy!"
At Xin Yun’s words, all present admired Lan Se, and as everyone’s gazes turned to her, Lan Se gave a faint smile and nodded to everyone. Meanwhile, Xin Yun added with a smile, "Although Lan Se Guardian Envoy is a member of the Dragon Gate, she’s not someone you’d see often. She is in charge of the stronghold’s protection. Whether our rear is stable, whether our families are safe, all depends on her guardianship."
"Clap, clap, clap..." Upon hearing Xin Yun’s words, everyone sincerely applauded. To all of them, this place was their ultimate refuge, an exceedingly safe haven... Thus, its security was paramount; any compromise would spell the greatest tragedy for Dragon Gate! Therefore, for Lan Se, who was charged with guarding the main stronghold, everyone gave the highest respect!
As the applause died down, Xin Yun continued with a smile, "All right, Guardian Envoy Lan, I know you dislike noise, so you may go back. Guarding the main stronghold is your only and most important task!"
Hearing Xin Yun’s words, Lan Se gave a faint smile, saluted Xin Yun with a clasped fist, then gracefully retreated along the golden bridge. In a flash of golden light, she vanished from everyone’s sight.
Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun declared loudly, "Today marks the first grand assembly since the establishment of Dragon Gate, so... I’ll take this opportunity to explain the structure of Dragon Gate to everyone."
According to the rules of this world, the Ten People Gang, Hundred People Sect, Thousand People Sect, and the Ren Teaching indicate that as long as the number of members is still in the tens, it can only be called a ’gang’ and not a ’sect.’ Even if there are 99 people, it’s still a gang, not a ’sect.’ Once the number exceeds a hundred, it becomes a ’sect.’ The same logic applies to ’zong’ and ’teaching.’

For example, Dragon Gate currently has around four hundred members, so it’s still only considered a ’sect.’ Unless the number reaches a thousand, it can only be called a ’sect.’ Beyond a thousand, it is called a ’zong,’ and more than ten thousand is called a ’teaching.’
Surveying the room, Xin Yun stated calmly, "I am the Sect Leader of Dragon Gate, with four Vice Sect Leaders beneath me, who command the Five Directions Flag-Bearers, the two Great Swords, and the Seven Killing Orders. Further down are the Twelve Apostles and the 365 disciples, forming Dragon Gate’s pyramid of power."
Each person’s respective duties are well known and need not be detailed here. If not, it’s unimportant. As long as you all follow the arrangements and directives from Yi Luo Xiang, you will come to understand in time."
Pausing slightly, Xin Yun then continued, "From today on, Dragon Gate is officially in the public eye. Going forward… Dragon Gate will inevitably face unimaginable challenges and tribulations. I hope everyone seizes every moment to enhance your own strengths!"
With these words, Xin Yun stood up solemnly, his voice resonating, "I know that we will face difficulties in the beginning, but remember... all adversities are our whetstones. We don’t seek to win from the Starting Point; our goal is to win at the end. The so-called... early victories don’t count, the last one standing is the true king!"
Although Xin Yun’s speech seemed to lack confidence, everyone knew that despite Dragon Gate’s current status as a ’sect,’ its true strength was hardly that of a large gang. After all... whether it’s the Twelve Apostles or the 365 disciples, they were merely making up numbers now, all of them no more than eight or nine years old. What could you expect from them?
