The matter of Zhang Xing and Yue Huaxuan's duel quickly died down.
However, Yue Huaxuan clearly felt that his prestige was rapidly declining.
Among the seven elders, Zhang Xing had always kept a low profile.
However, there were at least three elders who, whether intentionally or not, had done so during the meeting.
They kept looking at Zhang Xing.
Elder Shi Tianen had vaguely become Zhang Xing's spokesperson.
As long as Shi Tianen nodded, the other three elders would raise their hands in agreement.
This way, Zhang Xing had five votes.
Yue Huaxuan only had one vote, and the neutral Alchemy Grandmaster Dan Qingzi basically abstained.
Dan Qingzi would raise his hand to whichever side had the most people unless he had to express his stance.
This had never happened before in the White Tiger Sect.
In the past, they had all formed their own factions and supported Yue Huaxuan as long as it did not affect their own interests.
If there was a distribution of benefits, they would not give in.
However, no benefits could compare to Divine Crystals now!
Zhang Xing had a lot of them!
They would be idiots if they did not side with Zhang Xing.
Shi Tianen was ready to break through to the Demigod Realm soon.
Who among the elders wasn't jealous of him?
Building a good relationship with Zhang Xing was the most important task at the moment.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Elder Shi Tianen entered seclusion under everyone's watchful eyes.
He would probably not come out for a year and a half.
No one could be like Zhang Xing and the dragons, who could advance at any time as long as they had enough experience points.
Meanwhile, Zhang Xing's crusade against the Vermilion Bird had reached ten million people.
Originally, it would have taken a long time to recruit enough people.
However, the disciples of the six elders had swarmed over, all wanting to gain some credit in Zhang Xing's army.
Even Yue Huaxuan did not give up on placing people under Zhang Xing.
The training of the army was left to the Shi Tianen family.
There was no way Zhang Xing and the dragons could train them.
What kind of level could they achieve in two years? They could only become true warriors after a bloody battle on the battlefield.
During this period, Vice Sect Master Mo Xi did not appear to interfere with Zhang Xing's army.
The process wasn't important. What he and the Sect Leader cared about was the result.
Two years wasn't a long time, but it wasn't a short time either. It passed in the blink of an eye.
A year ago, Shi Tianen finally broke through and became the second elder to enter the Demigod Realm.
Among the Seven Great Elders, he naturally became the eldest.
In an instant, the White Tiger Sect's balance of power, which had been maintained for many years, completely changed.
Shi Tianen's reputation was like the sun in the midday sky, unparalleled for a time.
Zhang Xing had been very low-key in the past two years.
He basically didn't participate in the affairs of the sect. As long as it wasn't very important, he would use training as an excuse to decline.
On the surface, he was training soldiers with the dragons, but in reality, he was accumulating his own strength in secret.
Thirty of the Holy Dragons had advanced to the Divine Realm, while fifty of the Black Treasure dragons had advanced to the Divine Realm.
Zhang Xing also saw the gate of the Divine Realm.
However, he did not attempt to break through.
At the very least, he did not want to break through this threshold within the White Tiger Sect.
On this day, the Vice Sect Master suddenly issued an order.
"The three year deadline is up. Command Zhang Xing to lead the army and set off immediately.
Strive to reach the Vermilion Bird Sect as soon as possible! "
Zhang Xing's army was already ready to set off. After receiving the Vice Sect Master's order, they left the White Tiger Sect at noon.
All of the disciples and elders of the sect came out to see Zhang Xing off.
This was the longest expedition that the White Tiger Sect had ever sent out in the past few hundred years.
The Sect Master and Vice Sect Master did not want Zhang Xing to conquer the Vermilion Bird Sect.
They didn't think that Zhang Xing had the ability to lead so few people.
They only wanted Zhang Xing to reach the Vermilion Bird Sect.
This was revenge for the Vermilion Bird Sect's invasion of the Heavenly Moat Ridge.
