"Disaster! Disaster!"
Amid a chorus of startled cries, a Divine Dragon Cult member of about twenty hurried into the cult's assembly hall at a jog.
Seeing that the messenger who had barged in was a young cult member promoted by Su Quan, Azure Dragon Envoy Xu Xueting, who was discussing matters in the hall, immediately pointed at him and snapped, "What exactly happened? Why are you so flustered? Where is your sense of decorum?"
Black Dragon Envoy Zhang Dianyue, standing nearby, gave a mocking snort. "No beard on his chin, no steadiness in his work. He usually puts on such airs, but the moment something happens, he loses his head. He's disgraced our Divine Dragon Cult!"
The conflict between the old and new members of the Divine Dragon Cult was extremely severe. Ever since Hong Antong had favored his young and beautiful wife Su Quan, promoting younger cult members to suppress his older subordinates, the tension had only continued to build.
Later, the conflict finally erupted in full when Wei Xiaobao first came to Divine Dragon Island.
Though Wei Xiaobao had temporarily resolved the matter for various reasons, the old and new factions had merely each taken a step back after that incident, maintaining nothing more than a superficial peace.
Conflict was like a crack in porcelain. Once it appeared, it was extremely difficult to mend.
After that incident, the factions no longer fought with the same life-or-death intensity as during the initial outbreak. But whenever either side found an opportunity to suppress the other, they would spare no effort in stomping them down.
At this moment, the panicked and disrespectful bearing of this newly promoted young minor leader gave the old faction an excuse to pick a fight. Xu Xueting and the others naturally would not miss this chance
