Sect Leader Qin took up the Fa Bang beside him, struck Su Yihong's name from the list, replaced it with Zhang Yan's name, and stamped it. Then he spoke, "From today onwards, these ten individuals will be our sect's Top Ten Disciples. Yun Tian, go personally and hang this list in the Merit Institute to proclaim it to the mountain gate."
Qi Yun Tian responded with a respectful acknowledgment, walked forward to take the Fa Bang, bowed again, and then left the hall.
The words of the Sect Leader and the True Masters were clearly heard by the disciples outside the hall, who couldn't help but collectively direct their gaze toward Zhang Yan.
Suddenly, two disciples nearest to Zhang Yan stood up, respectfully saluted him, and said, "Greetings, Brother Zhang."
Their movements acted as a signal for dozens of nearby disciples, who quickly followed suit. Soon, hundreds of disciples stood up and declared loudly, "Greetings, Brother Zhang!"
