Huang Jies support of Li Qiye made it difficult for Zhan Hu. The latter couldnt question Huang Jies authority at this moment.

A few smart disciples immediately noticed that this went beyond a regular conflict. Even the relatively slower ones realized by now.

Humans and demons didnt coexist peacefully in Divine Black. Zhan Hu came from Furious Tiger so he was naturally on the demons side. On the other hand, Huang Jie and Liu Leilong came from Eight Zhang, the camp of the humans.

Your accusation is baseless and misses the point. I am simply performing my duty and upholding my responsibility, there is zero personal motive here

Im glad to hear that, youre definitely the pride of our sect. Huang Jie swiftly interrupted: Im sure you have no problem with letting the elders and peak lords decide the
