The reason everyone was shocked was because of Shi Chun. Otherwise, seeing that name would not remind them of a disciple of the sect, as the expelled disciple was thrown out of the sect due to Shi Chun.
Yan Qufeng suddenly asked, "Is the disciple expelled from the sect also named Tong Mingshan?"
An elder named Pan Gongying replied, "Yes, that is his name."
Another elder named Jie Lunguang hesitated, "If the expelled Tong Mingshan has become a sect master, how could that be possible?"
Pan Gongying said, "Mingshan Sect. The name doesn't avoid the name of the sect. Could it be that Tong Mingshan is the one who founded the sect, naming the sect after himself?"
Jie Lunguang laughed, "What virtues and abilities does he have to establish a sect? If it is true, it must be a newly established sect. How could it possibly be listed in the alliance covenant?"
That calmed everyone in the hall down.
