While eating with everyone and chatting, Ji Yang managed to ask about many things he wanted to know.
From everyone's conversations, Ji Yang learned that even though they were outer sect disciples, they had sect tasks. Each of these tasks was filled with risk, and if they were not careful, they could be killed by marauding cultivators. The sect did not pay much attention to cases where disciples were killed by marauding cultivators.
Although the surveillance here was strong, no one knew if the marauding cultivators would destroy it. Furthermore, in some remote areas, there might not be any surveillance at all. A major reason many people continuously earned points was to cover their annual tasks by paying them.
