Thousands of disciples silently watched Zhang and the other Supreme Elders, their expressions anxious, expectant, yet uneasy.
Zhang, accompanied by Master Pang and others, walked to the podium, glancing around.
Seated in the adjacent spectator seats were Taiyin Fairy and other Golden Immortals; most of them did not have voting rights, but given their special status, they could listen in.
Yuan Xiaoniao stood beside the podium with a stern expression, her voice no longer as lively as before:
"The first emergency meeting of the Jiushan Sect begins. Eleven Supreme Elders were expected to attend, ten are present."
"Eighty-nine thousand three hundred and thirty-six cultivators were expected, and indeed eighty-nine thousand three hundred and thirty-six are present."
"The meeting starts!"
All the disciples looked towards Zhang on the podium.
