Zhao Yu's brow furrowed slightly as he said, "Brother Xiahou, isn't it customary that there's only one mandatory mission every ten years?"
Xiahou Zhenyu implied obscurely, "According to custom that is indeed the case, however, this time the Sect Master personally ordered your mission, which does not violate the sect's rules."
Zhao Yu immediately realized that most likely it was the Fairy Colored Spirit taking advantage of the situation, aiming to distance him from the Dan Ling Sect.
The Great Sects naturally wouldn't support Foundation Establishment Cultivators without expecting something in return, so it was perfectly normal for the Sect Master to order the conscription of Foundation Establishment Cultivators to participate in the development decrees. If Zhao Yu didn't go, other Foundation Establishment Cultivators would still have to.
