"What divine positions can our Exposition Sect disciples be granted if we join the Heavenly Court?"
Yuanshi went straight to the point, too lazy to exchange pleasantries with Haotian.
The Exposition Sect disciples looked at Haotian with excitement written all over their faces, as if the divine positions of the Heavenly Court were already securely in their grasp. They did not believe that Haotian would dare refuse after Yuanshi had spoken.
Yuanshi's attitude instantly ignited a fire of rage in Haotian's heart, yet he dared not say much. He had already offended the Western Sect just moments ago, and to reject Yuanshi now meant offending two major sects simultaneously. Thinking about life here-on-out, things would undoubtedly be difficult.
Haotian found himself in a difficult spot, unable to stop a frown as he fell into deep thought.
If worst comes to worst, I can just bring the Exposition Sect disciples in first and deal with them slowly later. But if the bestowed divine positions are too high, they will siphon away the authority of the Heavenly Court. What should I do about this?

With that expression, anyone unaware would have thought he was the Heavenly Emperor and Haotian was merely a subordinate minister under his command.
Guang Chengzi's words immediately provoked a wave
