"You're awfully young to have such a big temper, aren't you?"
The elders immediately grew displeased.
"Where did you come from, brat? Get lost-"
Before they could finish, however, a succession of afterimages flashed over from afar and came to a steady halt behind Chun Xiaobai.
"G-grand... grandmaster?!"
The newly arrived elders' hearts jolted at the sight. "Zhang Xuanhe, Zhou Qingyi, Han Jiufeng..."
"Aren't... aren't these all the missing people from the Azure Cloud Sect?!"
"Why are they all here?"
"Ahem, ahem..."
Li Qingfeng coughed a few times, looking thoroughly embarrassed.
"Well... we're all on the same side. From here on, we just need to follow the Great King's orders."
"Huh?!" Everyone turned their gaze back to Chun Xiaobai.

They wanted them to obey a wet-behind-the-ears brat?
Meanwhile, Bai Jin'er came running over with Fang Yuan and the others.
Her bright, sparkling eyes swept across the newly arrived elders one by one as she silently began counting heads.
Lu Qingshan had made a deal with her: for every person he brought in, she would receive a commission.
Even if the commission was only ten million, these four hundred and fifty people would net her a clean 4.5 billion from a single deal!
That way, the Great King wouldn't have to work so hard anymore.
Fang Yuan, meanwhile, could hardly wait. "Great King, let's get going! I've already planned our route through this fat... Secret Realm!"
As he spoke, he even winked at Chun Xiaobai, afraid he might misunderstand.
Chun Xiaobai naturally knew what he meant: lure these people into the pit first, then worry about the rest.
Still, he couldn't be bothered to explain.
These people would all be his subordinates eventually, anyway. Sooner or later, they would have to undergo their pre-job
