Although they had the same skill level, Ji Qingyun's attribute growth was greater than that of Lu Xiao at the time.

It also activated new expertise.

Mercury in blood!

This allowed Ji Qingyun, whose physical attributes were even inferior to Lu Xiao's, to directly surpass him in terms of vitality.

The power of numbers!

Clenching his fist, Ji Qingyun felt an inexhaustible surge of energy.

"However, the starting talents of Strength and Health seem to be getting weaker and weaker in terms of health points."

Inside the conference hall.

The black-clad protector stood to the side, eyes closed and focused.

Liu Yuyao sat in the main seat, equally focused and motionless.

The two of them had been waiting for half an hour, but neither of them showed any sign of impatience.

In their hearts, Lu Xiao was already a dead man.

They still have some patience when it comes to the dead.

Finally, Ji Chen led his group into the council hall.

Some people initially wanted to offer their welcome, but upon seeing the Holy Maiden and the Chief Protector calmly closing their eyes and concentrating, they all awkwardly sat back down.

They weren't like Lu Xiao, a powerful figure capable of rivaling someone at the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation; they didn't dare offend the headmaster.

Therefore, only the protectors of the Luo Sect greeted Lu Xiao and his group, taking them as their leaders and sitting down.

Ji Chen sat down opposite Liu Yuyao with an air of superiority, tapped the table, raised his chin, and snorted:

"You were really pushing me hard before, so why are you all silent now that I'm here?!"

"Aren't we waiting for Master Lu's arrival?" The black-clad protector opened his eyes and replied coldly.

"Here I am, spit it out."

The black-clad protector's chest heaved with anger at Ji Chen, and he glared at Ji Chen fiercely like a wolf.

"As the head of a lineage, Master Lu, please be mindful of your status and do not disgrace the White Sun Sect."

It was Baiyang Saintess Liu Yuyao who stepped in to smooth things over.

It seems that if these two keep talking, the meeting might as well end in a full-blown brawl.

"I am here today to read out the General Order of the Church."

Where is Lu Xiao?

Baiyang Saintess Liu Yuyao took out an item, a token with the inscription "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity," which was the Baiyang Sect Leader's decree. Seeing this token was as if the Baiyang Sect Leader himself had arrived.

The faces of everyone present changed color, and they all left their seats, bowing down before the token according to their rank and status.

"We obey the Grand Master's command!"

Seeing that everyone had moved, Ji Chen knew that this was not the time for him to act recklessly. He had no choice but to abandon his confrontational gaze with the black-clad protector, come in front of everyone, and bow down as well.

"Branch Master, Lu Xiao, listen to my command!"

Baiyang Saintess Liu Yuyao, with a solemn expression, read out the oral decree on behalf of the Grand Master.

"...Master Lu worked hard and made great contributions throughout his life. His loyalty and courage were as bright as the sun and the moon. However, he was unfortunately caught in the enemy's trap and died in battle. He was heroic and tragic!

Fortunately, his outstanding disciple Lu Xiao was able to carry on the tradition and ensure that the torch was not extinguished.

This leader should have been considerate of Master Xiao's recent passing and allowed him to rest and recuperate. However, the great cause of Baiyang is not yet settled, the Liao bandits are still determined to destroy us, and the situation at the front is dire.

Therefore, I hereby order Lu Xiao to immediately lead his troops to Nankang to aid my brothers, without delay!

silence.

Still silence.

The Grand Master's order was not just difficult, it was ruthless and demanding.

Putting aside the fact that the old altar master Lu Dongsheng had just passed away, 'Lu Xiao' should be observing mourning for the old altar master at this moment to show his filial piety.

Asking someone to go directly to the brutal battlefield of Nankang to escape a prison sentence is really a bit inhumane.

Moreover, Lu Xiao had just taken over as the leader of the altar, and the affairs within the altar had not yet been settled. Yet he ordered people to leave the base camp and go to the front line, which was also full of the intention of suppression.

Many people from other branch forums looked on with bated breath.

The headmaster is really good at scheming.

Once Lu Xiao receives the order, regardless of whether he can return or make contributions on the front lines, his existing territory will inevitably be eroded by the main sect without a leader.

If Lu Xiao were to encounter an accident on the front lines, it would be entirely beneficial to the Grand Master.

The super genius below, 'Lu Xiao,' who might threaten the authority of the Grand Master in the future, simply disappeared physically.

The territory left behind can still be swallowed whole by the head coach.

Hey!

Many people scoffed inwardly.

But no one dared to stand up and speak a word of justice for "Lu Xiao". After all, the main sect had a master of true strength in charge, and ordinary branches and sub-alliances simply did not have the courage to provoke him.

If the transformation of Qi and Blood still leaves one vulnerable to being besieged by a large army.

That True Strength Grandmaster is like an ancient nuclear weapon that can treat a large army as nothing and freely enter and exit at any time.

They might not be able to kill an entire army due to physical limitations, but if they wanted to leave, there was nothing that could stop them.

This is also why, in the battle of Tieling Mountain, although the Baiyang Sect lost many experts at the third stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, not a single True Strength Grandmaster was lost.

They are a true strategic deterrent.

Everyone was waiting for Lu Xiao's reaction.

"Lu Xiao! What are you standing there for? Get ready to obey!"

"Could it be that you're planning to abscond with the faith?!"

The black-clad protector rebuked him coldly, his eyes full of provocation.

If Lu Xiao had refuted him on the spot, he would have dared to join forces with the Holy Maiden and order other branch altars to cooperate in killing Lu Xiao on the spot.

"good!"

Ji Chen stood up, his face calm, showing none of the exasperation the black-clad protector had imagined.

He accepted the order so readily.

This performance gave the black-clad protector a sense of powerlessness, like he had gathered all his strength only to punch cotton.

The inability to vent his pent-up emotions left him feeling frustrated and uncomfortable.

He had prepared many other things, such as using righteousness as leverage, the seriously injured Li Cheng, and so on...

But all of these were no longer of any use.

"you..."

"What, does the Dharma Protector not want me to accept this order?"

Ji Chen gave a half-smile, seemingly mocking the black-clad protector.

Judging from the future information provided by the panel, he will eventually be unable to withstand the Grand Master's methods.

Since that's the case, we might as well accept it and avoid them causing more trouble.

He doesn't necessarily have to survive the game; he'll have plenty of opportunities to settle scores with the head instructor.

"Hmph! I can't be bothered to argue with you."

The black-clad protector stubbornly refused to admit his wrongdoing.
