Zhang Chen realized that he was still missing a third senior brother, so he asked, "Where's Third Senior Brother?"
"Third Junior Brother is out on a mission and hasn't returned yet. I called you here this time to let everyone get to know each other and take care of each other in the future.
"Although there wasn't much pressure from the sect after we were promoted to direct disciples, the competition among us direct disciples is fierce due to the struggle for resources. Therefore, we form circles based on our master-disciple relationships to unite against the pressure.
"The sect master has the most direct disciples and is also the strongest. I'm at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm, but I can only barely protect my junior brothers from being bullied." Hong Longguang smiled.
