The one who spoke was a disciple from the Mist and Smoke Sect.
Though the Cloud Heaven Sect was an Upper Sect, they took a great deal of resources from the Mist and Smoke Sect every year. Furthermore, the visiting Cloud Heaven Sect disciples held the Mist and Smoke Sect in utter contempt, which had long bred discontent among the Mist and Smoke Sect's Local Sect faction.
But before, awed by the other sect's power, the disciples of the Mist and Smoke Sect had been forced to swallow their anger.
Now, however, Zhong Ming, who also came from a minor sect, had made a dazzling display. This gave them a powerful sense of solidarity.
So, it was only natural that they began to speak up for Zhong Ming.
"How dare you question Senior Brother Jiang!"
However, these remarks also angered the disciples of the Cloud Heaven Sect.
"He's a man, not a god. Why can't he be questioned?"
"That's right! It's not even certain your Senior Brother Jiang could beat Zhong Ming."
