Early the next morning, the River City Team once again began a serious tactical meeting.
The team members included their captain, brains, muscle, and public face, Yue Wen.
Their brains and public face, Zhao Xing'er.
Their public face, Liu Yuanjun.
And Qi Dian.
Perfected One Nagiko and team leader Wang Shoucai sat to one side and listened, while deputy team leader Lan Zhi stood before the slides, explaining the Taiji Eight Desolations Sect's lineup.
"The captain, Li Shouzhong."
Lan Zhi first displayed a photograph of a young man who looked somewhat frail.
"The reason he was selected as chief disciple was that, during the contest for the position, Wu Jiguang and Xue Hanyang were evenly matched. Both resorted to rather disgraceful means and were disqualified from becoming chief disciple. Li Shouzhong, who ranked third in strength, was then nominated and became captain. That doesn't mean he's the strongest."
Yue Wen and the others already knew this gossip. It had been a hot topic on the Cultivation Chat Forum at the time.
The contests for chief disciple among the Five Great Immortal Sects had produced quite a few bizarre incidents during that period, but few were as outrageous as the Taiji Eight Desolations Sect's. To canvass votes, one of the two had shared porn sites with the male disciples, while the other had shared explicit boys' love fiction with the female disciples...
As a result, throughout the subsequent matches, the Taiji Eight Desolations Sect's captain had never carried much authority. Li Shouzhong certainly couldn't keep those two heavyweights in line, and neither of them held the captain's position, so neither would listen to the other.
That was also why both had performed very poorly in the Battle of Demon-Suppressing City, fighting on their own until they were both eliminated.
