"Dharma King, Hall Master, the Sect Leader invites you!"
A sect member immediately clasped his fists and spoke.
With a slight nod, Wind King and Five Elements Hall Master instantly led Jiang Shi towards the palace at the forefront.
Before long.
They had entered the massive main hall.
The entire hall was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, crowded with figures, many of whom were formidable experts. At the front sat an elder with graying hair, dressed in a red robe.
This elder had a tremendously majestic build, wearing two golden gloves on his hands. Even sitting, he was over one meter seventy tall, and his gaze was as piercing as lightning as it rested on Jiang Shi.
As soon as Jiang Shi stepped in, he felt as if locked onto by some unknown beast, causing his face to tense up, looking uncertainly at that elder.
This was the Black Lotus Sect Leader, Chen Xuantian!
Apart from that elder.
In front of him, there were also three others, giving him a similar feeling.
The three of them had cold expressions and sharp gazes, looking condescendingly in his direction.
Among the three, there were two men and one woman, wearing specially made garments with different scripts embroidered at the chest, which were [Rain], [Thunder], and [Electric].
"Sect Leader, Jiang Shi is here!!"
Wind King clasped his fists and spoke.
Jiang Shi followed, cupping his fists, and said, "Greetings to the Black Lotus Sect Leader!"
"A hero indeed is among the young, truly extraordinary!"
The elder at the front smiled, looking at Jiang Shi, and laughed, "I have long heard of Brother Jiang’s deeds within the sect, and now I finally see him in person, hahaha..."
His voice was hearty, reverberating through the area, causing everyone’s eardrums to tingle. He glanced around and laughed, "Everyone, do you have any further thoughts on the previous matters?"
The people in the hall furrowed their brows, remaining silent.
Several individuals had sullen expressions, looking at Jiang Shi, then at the Sect Leader, seemingly quite unwilling.
Yet, ultimately, no one dared to say anything.
"Since that’s the case, from now on, Brother Jiang is our Black Lotus Holy Sect’s [Right Path Saint Envoy], overseeing thirty-six hall masters, seventy-two squads; the envoy’s presence is as if the Sect Leader himself is there."
The Black Lotus Sect Leader spoke calmly.
"Sect Leader, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?"
Suddenly, Thunder King, not far from the Sect Leader, spoke up.
"What is inappropriate?"
The Black Lotus Sect Leader looked at Thunder King.
Even Jiang Shi furrowed his brows, quickly looking over, somewhat displeased.
Where did this come from?
The Sect Leader had already made a decision, and this guy was still spouting nonsense?
Frankly, he hadn’t expected the Black Lotus Holy Sect to value him so highly.
"Sect Leader, historically, the positions of the left and right envoys have been held by experts of the Blood Exchange Realm. Ever since twenty years ago, when both the left and right envoys fell, those positions have been vacant. Now, Jiang Shi has just arrived and has yet to achieve anything, yet he is assigned to such a high position. I fear our brothers within the sect won’t accept this. Furthermore, Jiang Shi has committed a great massacre outside; if the Long Family, Zhang Family, or Kunshan Long Family discover that he holds such an important position in our sect, I fear these families will not easily give up..."
Thunder King spoke up.
"Longxi Zhang, Kunshan Long, mere pests, what is there to fear?"
The Black Lotus Sect Leader let out a cold snort and said, "Eighteen years ago, my own son was secretly harmed by Longxi Zhang, a towering grudge that I have always remembered. Sooner or later, I will annihilate them!"
"Yes, Sect Leader. Nevertheless, as I said before, Jiang Shi is new here and has not achieved anything. If he is assigned to such a crucial position, while the members might not voice their opinions, they might gossip behind the scenes."
Thunder King spoke.
The Black Lotus Sect Leader furrowed his brows and again surveyed the crowd.
Below, hall masters and squad leaders lowered their heads, their faces flushed, remaining silent, yet many had already clenched their fists, clearly harboring some resentment.
The Right Path Saint Envoy position was not just a role; it involved a blood exchange opportunity!
Securing that role would allow one to receive the materials for blood exchange.
Many of them had already reached Martial Saint Third Tier and should’ve undergone blood exchange long ago, but their lack of merit kept them suppressed.
"Sect Leader, I have an idea that might silence the public!"
Suddenly, the Electric King beside him revealed a smile and said, "Brother Jiang is exceptionally skilled, an Innate Vajra, more than capable of the Right Envoy position. What is missing is merely a justification. Thus, why not provide one? Currently, there is a [Grade A mission] pending within the sect, which no one has dared to accomplish so far. In that case, why not assign it to Brother Jiang? If he completes it successfully, naturally, no one will object."
"Grade A mission? Is it regarding Hu Biao’s defection?"
The Black Lotus Sect Leader’s tone deepened.
"Yes, Sect Leader."
The Electric King responded respectfully, then slightly smiled, looked at Jiang Shi, and said:
"Brother Jiang, three months ago, a traitor emerged from our Holy Sect, stealing an important secret. However, this traitor is not weak, already at Martial Saint Peak, and versed in two Super Grade martial arts. The Sect Leader had once dispatched people to apprehend him, but the traitor was too strong, turning back all the experts we sent. So far, he’s still at large. With Brother Jiang’s capability, handling a Martial Saint Peak should not be difficult, is it?"
"Martial Saint Third Tier?"
Jiang Shi repeated, finding nothing odd, but what puzzled him was why this Electric King was helping him?
The Electric King was a lean old man, resembling a thin bamboo stick, with a goatee and gaunt cheeks. His face constantly bore a smile, seemingly friendly toward everyone.
