The Direct Disciple of the Elder with Real Power, the one who had sparked the whole incident, was stripped of his status!
The moment this news broke, it instantly silenced all dissenting voices.
Although no one knew the specifics of what had happened, everyone saw the result.
Afterward, a spokesperson for the Heavenly Brilliance Sect Master, Xiahou Kaiyuan, made a public statement, throwing his full support behind the Celestial Brilliance Medicine Garden.
"I don't know what's going through the minds of some of our young people these days. What is strength?"
"Elder Yuwen put it well. Strength... is the sum of all your hidden cards, your total combined power. That is what you call strength!"
"For many years, the Medicine Garden has finished last in the annual competition. But did they give up? Did they ever cry foul, claiming it was unfair because they are Alchemists with weak combat abilities?"
