It wasn't beneath the Elder Grandmaster to admit that he held a few grudges of his own against Li Meirong. This stinky girl had not only lead his succeeding disciple by the nose, but also had the nerve to show off without a shred of humility, and without an ounce of respect to her elders or peers!Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

The Elder Sword Bearer's Grandmaster harrumphed as he thought, 'Very well, I'll make you regret your arrogant words!' 

He turned to address the Armament Division's Grandmaster who calmly sat beside him. "I've heard rumours of the grand accomplishments your succeeding disciple has done on her recent trip out of the sect. Why not let her battle this petulant junior, and have her set an example to the rest of our disciples?"

The Armament Division's Grandmaster stroked his long white beard in contemplation, staring into the distance as he spoke. "My succeeding disciple is a skilled and hardworking cultivator. Indeed, she brings honour to our sect. But Fellow Grandmaster, wouldn't we be called out for bullying our juniors? My disciple is at the mid-stage of Core Formation, only two steps away from becoming a pre-immortal." He shook his head and said, "This unpractised Junior couldn't be at more than the peak stage of Foundation Establishment, and even that is a commendable feat to accomplish such a level in such a short period of time. It wouldn't be a proper and honourable battle if they should compete."

The Sword Bearer's Grandmaster angrily smacked his fist against his palm in an evident show of disagreement. "This is no longer a matter regarding an honourable battle. Did you not see the merciless way in which this disciple, Li Meirong, has treated her previous opponent? What about her blatant show of arrogance? This Junior disrespected the sanctity of this tournament! We, as the Elders, must take care of the younger generation. If we teach this Junior a lesson now, it will save her some trouble in the future!"

"Well, have you made a decision, or not?" At that instant, Li Meirong coldly called out from below, further strengthening the Sword Bearers Grandmaster's standpoint.

Li Meirong had only asked a simple question, but the way she had spoken, as well as the way she presented herself, made her seem entirely unprincipled in the eyes of the judges!

The Grandmasters murmured for a short while longer amongst themselves as they finally came to a decision.

The Armament Division's Grandmaster stood from his seat, gathering all the onlookers' attention. His voice echoed as he made the announcement, "Summon the Armament Division's participant, Liu Jiayu, to the stage!"
