The members of the "Black Shaman" were divided into ranks, from lowest to highest: branch squad member, branch squad leader, Branch Chief, Zhu You, Shao Si Ming, and Da Si Ming.
These were the things Luo Yan had known from the beginning.
But it was only today that he learned the Zhu You rank was determined not by combat power, but by knowledge.
That made sense when he thought about it.
The "Black Shaman" had originally been founded by those who worshiped "Mei Ba," and anyone who knew of "Mei Ba" must have studied the "Guixu," or even possessed a deep understanding of it.
An organization like that would naturally place greater value on scholarly talents who researched the "Guixu."
If someone like Jia Miao were placed among the "Black Shaman," she would certainly be a Zhu You, or even a higher-ranking figure.
Across the world, there were few people in the Profound Comprehension Realm, but there were even fewer who studied the "Guixu" and possessed extensive related knowledge.
So it was understandable that the "Black Shaman" protected those in the Zhu You rank.
But because of that, he could no longer resolve the problem at Spring Feather Base by killing a Zhu You, as Yu Qiushui had suggested.
Besides resolving the base's problems, Luo Yan had also intended to draw the organization's attention by killing a Zhu You.
But after hearing what Yu Qiushui had said, he could only abandon that idea.
Otherwise, killing a Zhu You would indeed make the organization take notice, but the result would be the exact opposite of what he wanted.
At that point, Luo Yan would have only one choice: leave the "Black Shaman."
If that happened, all his efforts up to now would go to waste, while Liu Hongming would reap the
