The dignity of the master's way, the hierarchy of senior and junior—these were the foundation of any sect, even any power. Especially for those in high positions, they absolutely could not be undermined.
To permit such a thing to happen was to destroy one's own foundation.
In any sect, violating this rule was a grave offense. At best, one's cultivation would be stripped and one would be expelled; at worst, one would be executed as a warning to others.
Therefore, the dignity of the master's way had to be upheld.
However, Golden Jade Hall's Hall Master Changsun Han was a disciple at the peak of the Creation Realm Divine Being.
Any disciple of the Creation Realm was a pillar of the sect. The loss of even one was an enormous loss to the sect.
They had already lost one Creation Realm disciple, Wang Tianrui, today. If they lost another, one could well imagine how much it would pain the five Supreme Elders.
Especially since Changsun Han's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Creation Realm Divine Being, and he had a tremendous chance of breaking through into the Creation Realm Divine General.
A Creation Realm Divine General was truly a load-bearing pillar of a sect. If one were casually executed, the loss would simply be immeasurable.
The choice between the two was exceedingly difficult, so much so that the five Supreme Elders said nothing for quite a while.
Sixth Senior Brother Lian Mo was even more anxious. Changsun Han was his personal disciple. Though he was not among the most outstanding, he knew how to handle matters and had earned Lian Mo's great trust. Otherwise, he would not have remained Hall Master of Golden Jade Hall for so long.
Lian Mo absolutely did not wish to watch Changsun Han
