"Li Ji, personally make a trip and invite the three Demon Kings, Tornado, Shuiqing, and Fuling, here for a discussion."
"Kaixuan stays."
Chen Jichuan waved his hand, dismissing the other disciples, leaving only his third disciple, Zhang Kaixuan, behind.
"Master."
Zhang Kaixuan obediently stood in place, unsure of his master's intentions.
He had joined Chen Jichuan's sect for 180 years, struggling in his early years due to a lack of aptitude and slow progress. Watching his senior brothers, Li Ji and the others, advance to the Qi Refining Realm one after another, Zhang Kaixuan was filled with envy.
When Chen Jichuan took Li Ji and the other four disciples to Tan State, leaving Zhang Kaixuan and eight others who showed little promise behind at Qingniu Peak, several of the disciples complained privately. Some even gave up entirely, descending to the mortal world to indulge in pleasures.
