"The five selected, stay behind; the rest of you, disperse!" Upon receiving a signal from Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, Grand Commander Jio Yuanxiu declared.
"We take our leave!"
After hearing these words, the upper echelons of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect withdrew quickly. They all understood that the Sect Leader was likely to bestow some life-saving treasures for the battlefield next. For secrecy, they needed to withdraw.
Of course, as they left, Tian Guizhang was buoyant while Yao Sen's expression was somewhat gloomy. In this competition with Tian Guizhang, Yao Sen was completely defeated, and with Sang Boquan's elimination, he had no chance of turning the tables.
With the higher-ups gone, the other three candidates could only leave as well, their eyes lingering with regret. The rewards that the Sect Leader was about to give were now completely out of their reach.
