How could either Yi Hongchen or Ling Chen possibly let Shen Lang resign from his position as an Elder?
In any Sect, an Honored Elder was an individual of immense value.
Either they possessed formidable cultivation and were an overlord of a region;
or they had astonishing achievements in professions like Artifact Refining or Alchemy.
At the very least, they were individuals who could strengthen the Sect in some way, people the Sect would willingly expend resources to recruit and appease.
And Shen Lang, standing before them—how old was he?
Sixteen!
A sixteen-year-old boy with such terrifying cultivation and such shocking cunning!
If he was given just two or three more years to develop, it was likely that even Spirit Copper Level Influences would be fighting to recruit him!
Compared to that, what was someone like Drunken Thousand Cups, who were a dime a dozen within the Sect?
