When he heard the explanation from the disciples, Shi Xiaole's face instantly clouded over.
What a Grand Elder! Previously, he was incessantly setting him up and even had him assassinated. Now, fearing exposure, he decided to get ahead of it by kicking him out of the sect?
"Did no one object?"
Shi Xiaole inquired.
"The Second Elder was initially opposed, but alas, Senior Brother Shi, you have been absent for several months... Faced with the pressure from the Grand Elder, the Third Elder, and others, the Second Elder had no choice but to compromise."
A few disciples explained patiently.
Ever since Shi Xiaole defeated the disciple from Duster Gate as the chosen disciple, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
"Brother Shi, the Grand Elder is very displeased with you. If he finds out you're back tonight, he won't let you off. You should escape quickly."
A disciple plucked up his courage and whispered a reminder.
