Old Sui chuckled. "Brother Sui, you misunderstand. It's not that simple. Of the pavilion masters below, only the master of Azure Dragon Pavilion has reached the First Realm of Domain. The rest are all only at the Divine Diagram Fifth Realm. A high-ranking position like the master of Wuji Hall can only be held by a cultivator at the First Realm of Domain or higher."
"Brother Beiting recommended Pavilion Master Shen Lang, but only for the position of Deputy Hall Master of Wuji Hall, temporarily overseeing the hall's affairs. After all, only Lord Heavenly King has the right to recommend the master of Wuji Hall, and the central authority of the Evil Court has the power to veto the appointment."
"Still, don't underestimate the authority of this temporary Deputy Hall Master. If things go well, it's enough to put real power in your hands. Even when the new master of Wuji Hall takes office, there'll be plenty of room to maneuver. What's more, an establishment like Wuji Hall generally doesn't even have a Deputy Hall Master."
"Only when the hall master dies suddenly and no one is left to oversee things do they create such a position. But once it's created, the cultivator who takes it naturally rises in seniority. It's not impossible that the Deputy Hall Master might eventually become the full-fledged hall master."
"In short, this is a piping-hot, fragrant meat bun. I'd wager none of the pavilion masters below aren't eyeing it. I'm afraid there's already a crowd working the connections outside Xun Bingjun's door, too."
Xu Yi said, "Since the position of Deputy Hall Master is so important, why doesn't Brother Wang take it for himself? Why let such a fine opportunity slip away?" The moment he said this, Wang Rongrong and the other two froze.
