This Child Must Be Executed

The elders broke into heated discussion, feeling that making such a grand show of targeting a rising junior was a bit overblown.

Although Lu Chong had gained quite a reputation recently, surely he did not warrant alarming a Dao Lord of the Dao Sea Realm, Supreme Elders of the Dao Mountain Realm, and so many Dao Profound Realm elders like themselves.
