Seeing the complexions of both Lu Songsheng and Zhang Chenghua change, Master Guanghao spoke as if he hadn’t noticed, saying, “I’m sorry, you two, I have to go in and get my identity jade badge processed right away. Chairman Lu, let’s have a drink together when we have the chance.”

After saying these words, Master Guanghao gave a cupped fist salute to Lu Songsheng, then turned around to enter the place where the identity jade badges were being processed.

Zhang Chenghua’s expression turned grim, Master Guanghao didn’t take him seriously at all, and as he was leaving, he didn’t even bother to greet him, clearly showing that he thought Zhang Chenghua was far less important than Lu Songsheng. This intensified the resentment in his heart.

Lu Songsheng sighed silently to himself. He wanted to explain something to Zhang Chenghua but couldn’t find the right way to start. It wasn’t that he wanted their relationship to be so poor, but that didn’t mean he would humble himself before Zhang Chenghua. After all, he was the vice-chairman of Wanjie Commerce. Whether in terms of status, position, or cultivation realm, he was not inferior to Zhang Chenghua. A calm and peaceful conversation with Zhang Chenghua would be no problem, but bowing to him was out of the question.

From beginning to end, no one else in the team spoke up, but everyone vividly felt the atmosphere between the two leaders become delicate.

Qi Tian frowned and couldn’t deny he had not the slightest bit of fondness for Zhang Chenghua. Seeing him deflate was somewhat thrilling for Qi Tian. However, this petty excitement did not make Qi Tian lose his reason. The friction between Lu Songsheng and Zhang Chenghua was of no benefit to their entire team, on the contrary, it brought a lot of disadvantages.

What bothered him the most was Master Guanghao, who popped up out of nowhere and brazenly instigated the discord between Lu Songsheng and Zhang Chenghua. He clearly didn’t care about the people from Wanjie City at all. Moreover, how could Master Guanghao not know the horrendous impact on the Wanjie City team if the two leaders clashed? He did it anyway, unabashedly, with clear intent to embarrass them and even push their team towards peril.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Qi Tian’s mouth. Master Guanghao had started the incident, so how it would unfold next wouldn’t be up to Master Guanghao alone. He hoped Master Guanghao was ready to face the consequences.

Worried that another person like Master Guanghao might show up, Lu Songsheng dared not linger and promptly suggested to Zhang Chenghua that the team should leave the area.

Zhang Chenghua, though irritated, still retained his sense and nodded grimly.

Thus, the people from Wanjie City, having barely had the chance to appreciate the scenery of the Holy Land, embarked on their journey once more.

Leaving the city, they came to the outskirts, where each person released their flying swords and ascended into the sky. In the Cultivation World, sword-flying is the most common way for cultivators to travel quickly. Sword-flying has many advantages; firstly, flying swords are relatively easy to obtain, making them a popular mode of transportation. Furthermore, flying swords are convenient to carry and can be brought along by any cultivator at all times, ready for sword-flying whenever necessary, without the need to coordinate with others.

Of course, sword-flying is not without its drawbacks. After all, every flying sword has different qualities, which lead to variable performance in terms of speed and other factors. Just like the flying swords of each person from Wanjie City were crafted by different swordsmiths, coordinating them was troublesome. To prevent leaving anyone behind, the slower swords set the pace for the group.

Fortunately, they did not rely solely on sword-flying for their travel. What they needed to do now was reach the next Teleport Point as quickly as possible, which would take them to the competition venue in the Holy Land.

While flying, everyone maintained silence. Yi Xuwen, the Mansion Master of National Master Manor, was flying beside Qi Tian. The old man looked worried; he was fully aware of the discord between the two leaders of the team. He was eager to mediate but felt powerless. All he could do was use the Sound Transmission Skill to advise Qi Tian to avoid getting involved in the conflict between Lu Songsheng and Zhang Chenghua. If possible, he even wanted to suggest that Qi Tian leave the group and act alone. With his knowledge of the Holy Land and its relative safety—as long as one didn’t venture into the forbidden zones and abided by the rules—there likely wouldn’t be any issues.

However, Yi Xuwen only contemplated this suggestion in his mind, and in the end, he didn’t voice it. The power of National Master Manor was no match against either Wanjie Commerce or Ink Flood Dragon Association. Since they couldn’t oppose them, they had no choice but to endure, even if the subsequent developments might be somewhat unfavorable to National Master Manor.

The depletion of True Essence during sword-flying was a significant concern. To keep Qi Tian and the other promising young men at their peak condition, they didn’t travel for two to three days non-stop like they had done the previous days. Instead, after about half a day of flight, Lu Songsheng again proposed that the team rest.

Zhang Chenghua, with a dark expression, felt increasingly like a figurehead in the role of leader, as if all the constructive suggestions were first put forward by Lu Songsheng, leaving him with nothing but to nod in agreement. If he refused, he would be branded the villain, subject to everyone’s criticism.
