Chapter 688 - 390: Honor Part 2
Not a single Golden Core Elder opposed, when Elder Zang proposed to assassinate Li Shiming, they all thought Li Shiming was as good as dead.
But now, there was no news from Elder Zang, yet Li Shiming was still alive. By all accounts, even with a delay, Elder Zang should have long since arrived in Xia Country; the only possibility was that Elder Zang had encountered trouble.
If Elder Zang sought to kill Li Shiming and found himself in trouble instead, it was highly likely the result of Li Shiming’s own doing.
Considering Li Shiming’s identity as an Alchemy Master and his relationship with the Beishu Trading Company, this possibility was not at all far-fetched.
Of course, the most important point was that making Li Shiming an Honorary Great Elder would give Mingxin Sect a powerful backer.
Regarding the matter of one-tenth of the sect’s revenue, after losing Elder Zang and Great Elder Fan Xi, the sect’s loss of one-tenth of its revenue meant the resources distributed to the remaining Golden Core Elders would not decrease but increase.
As long as they could maintain this situation within the sect, they didn’t mind having one more Honorary Great Elder.
After reaching a consensus among the upper echelons of Mingxin Sect, they feared Li Shiming might take some action, so the very next day Elder Zhang took it upon himself to head to the capital city of Xia Country.
"Mingxin Sect’s Elder Zhang requests an audience with Master Li!" Li Shiming received the communication technique; the other party hadn’t flown above the capital, but was waiting outside the city.
This clearly showed just how humble Elder Zhang’s attitude was; Elder Zhang had personally witnessed Li Shiming’s prowess, a Great Elder-level Body Refining Golden Core, practically invincible in the Golden Core Stage.
Li Shiming went outside the city; Elder Zhang bowed deeply, exhibiting a submissive posture, afraid that Li Shiming might strike without uttering a word. His manner aimed to avoid any misunderstanding that might lead Li Shiming to kill him on the spot.
"Greetings, Master Li!" Elder Zhang inwardly heaved a sigh of relief at not being immediately killed with a slap from Li Shiming, making the subsequent discussion more approachable.
