Hearing the name "Song Jian," Guo Xiao's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
As the most outstanding disciple of Feilai Peak, he had always set his sights on becoming the Sect Leader's disciple and aimed to stand out in the next inner sect competition, securing the first place to become the Sect Leader's disciple.
But Guo Xiao had never imagined that Sect Leader Duan Xingliu would actually take a god-favored individual as a direct disciple, making him the senior brother to the whole Imperial Sword Sect.
"God-favored individuals, who put interests first, how could they possibly remain loyal to the sect? At most they might establish their own peak, but to desire the position of Sect Leader, it's simply impossible to gain everybody's support!" Guo Xiao had proclaimed this view more than once in public and had even gained the agreement of many disciples.
