The moment Deputy Master finished his words, the outcome had been finalized. Not even god could change that.
Truth be told, when Lu Li made his statement, his fate had been sealed. He had shamed Deputy Master in public. Anyone that did that, apart from the Grand Master, would have to face death.
To climb up at the Demon-slaying Hall was difficult. Fighting abilities was one thing. Behind each person here was an intricate intertwined web of connections. Demon-slaying Hall was the most powerful force at the Great Land and the members were powerful warriors from different families. The connections involved was so complicated that there might be domino effect with one single move. The fact that Deputy Master could climb up to the position was proof that the resources in his hands were beyond imagination.
Today, the Grand Master didn't show up!
Maybe…
It was possible that Grand Master had conceded secretly and he had rendered Deputy Master a favor by staying out of the matter.
