"Wang Kuo! You brute! How dare you spew filthy words in the great hall! Who are you farting nonsense at?! Will you take responsibility if something goes wrong?!"
Elder Zhao trembled with rage, pointing at the pot-bellied Elder and berating him furiously.
"Enough!!!"
Just as Wang Kuo was about to say something more, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.
He Daoxuan's face was as dark as water as he coldly swept his gaze over them both. "The Elder Hall is discussing matters, yet you are bickering like shrews cursing in the marketplace! What kind of conduct is this?!"
Elder Zhao and Wang Kuo were cowed by his imposing presence. They immediately fell silent as cicadas in winter and sat back down resentfully.
The great hall instantly returned to silence.
He Daoxuan slowly withdrew his gaze. After a moment of silence, he looked over everyone again and spoke.
"Everything you have considered is reasonable. There is indeed no precedent for exceptionally promoting a Divine Realm disciple to a Heavenly Saint. This matter is of great importance and must not be handled carelessly."
"However, this is a time when we need people. The Abyss Clan ravages the Barren Domain and is a great enemy of humankind! This mission is of tremendous importance. The number of twenty concerns both the completion of the mission and the disciples' safety; not one fewer will do! Although Jiang Bei is still in the Divine Realm, his battle record is outstanding, and his formidable strength has already been proven. He is fully capable of matching a God Vener Realm cultivator. This is an indisputable fact."
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures! Since Zuo Yuchuan is unfit for use, Jiang Bei will fill this vacancy! He will depart for the Barren Domain with the team at once!"
