Chapter 2252 - 2253: Assistant Elder
Upon seeing the Sect Master intervene, the old matriarch finally halted, her eyes showing evident apprehension.
Clearly, she was also intimidated by the Sect Master’s methods. Originally, the Sect Master was a junior comparable in age to Ye Luo, and the Elders respected her due to the power of the Sect’s legacy, but in their hearts, how many truly regarded her?
At least at this stage, that seemed impossible, as the legacy also requires time for conversion and understanding.
However, who would have expected that she now possesses such formidable strength, a power capable of wiping out more than half of the Elders, and possibly even surpassing the Grand Elder.
"Salutations to the Sect Master!"
The Grand Elder was the first to react, immediately followed by others who quickly paid their respects, this time with many showing signs of fear.
"You may all dispense with formalities. The territorial contest is imminent, and any loss could affect the final outcome, so I wish not to see this happen. This time, the selection of disciples is unrelated to the Elders’ status. I will allocate resources based on the number of disciples each Elder selects, and this time the resources are doubled from before, sufficient for all disciples’ cultivation!" the Sect Master said calmly.
Upon hearing this, many disciples cheered.
After all, this is the South Territory, and even for a Great Sect like the Divine Martial Sect, resources for disciples are not inexhaustible. Nearly ninety percent of disciples find their resources insufficient and must exchange them through Sect missions, which in turn affects the progress of cultivation.
"Sect Master, I feel that there should be distinctions among the Elders, as this is the rule set by our ancestors. Otherwise, wouldn’t the arrangement among the Elders be chaotic in the future!" the old matriarch said in a deep voice.
Clearly, she was unwilling to give up just like that. After all, she had been unable to deal with Ye Luo earlier, and just leaving it at that would be quite damaging to her reputation.
"Oh? Are you implying that even I should be challenged?" The Sect Master’s gaze grew cold.
