"What? Just because of the Immortal Invitation Hall, you're going to force our Personnel Hall to help the Immortal Exile Hall? Can't your Immortal Exile Hall deal with them on your own?"

Lian Shang naturally could not accept such a reason.

Lin Ye said with a gloomy face, "Given our status, it is naturally inconvenient for us to take action. After all, the strongest person on the other side, Wang Xiao, is only a Hall Master of the Immortal Inquiry Hall. He is facing Tianxiao."

"It's just that the Immortal's Hall was established too recently, and we are short-handed. In order not to embarrass the sect, we naturally have to ask your Personnel Hall to step in!"

Why us?

"It's because you live nearby!"

Lin Ye looked at him with a mocking expression.

Isn't this kid the type who likes to operate in secret, staying at the crime scene to watch the show?

Then let's involve them.

If someone dies in the personnel department, they'll suffer a double loss!

On the contrary, the credit still belongs to the Zhexian Hall.

Lian Shang's face turned ashen. He suddenly regretted bringing people to watch the show today; he should have left Wang Liang here to manage the operations.

The people from the personnel department around him all looked helpless, since Lin Ye's reasons were reasonable.

They are all from the same clan. Now that the Zhexian Hall is in trouble, it's understandable that the hall masters can't show themselves. Are we, the lower-level staff, just supposed to stand by and watch?

Lian Shang was still planning to struggle, but Lin Ye had already shouted in a deep voice.

"Lian Shang, as the head of the Personnel Hall, do you still care about our Heavenly Dragon Sect? If you don't agree to send people, then you are deliberately framing the Immortal Exile Hall. How can you bear to watch your fellow disciples die at the hands of the Eternal Sect?"

"I must report this matter to the sect's elders!"

"Fine, fine, I give up. You can pick a few people to go and help."

Even Shang eventually gave in.

He waved his hand angrily, no longer arguing with Lin Ye.

Lin Ye immediately smiled smugly, glanced at Wang Liang beside him, pointed at him and said, "You are the personnel elder, from now on, you are transferred to the Hall of Immortals!"

"I?"

Wang Liang pointed to his own nose, dumbfounded.

After that, Lin Ye ignored him and picked more than a dozen others, all of whom were True Monarchs of the third or fourth rank, who were considered the backbone of the Personnel Hall.

It was led by Elder Wang Liang.

Everyone rushed over to support the Zhexian Hall.

Lian Shang looked at his key subordinates, more than a dozen of whom he had transferred away, and his heart was bleeding. He wondered if these people would ever come back.

I'm afraid Qi Shenglong will pull some strings.

So, he's going to go from being a key member of the Human Resources Department to a key member of the Immortal Exile Department, right?

"Lin Ye deliberately targeted me this time. I'll remember this debt and I will not let him off easily!"

Lian Shang watched Wang Liang and the others' retreating figures, filled with rage.

Afterwards, Lin Jinglong, Tianxiao, and the others, who were not far away, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position because they were unwilling to show their strength.

Wang Xiao, standing in front of the two of them, was entirely crimson. It seemed that some special technique had temporarily activated his aura, making him almost as powerful as a high-level elder.

He roared and led his men in a frenzied counterattack.

Wan Liang and the others had also suffered serious injuries.

If this fight continues, it will only result in mutual destruction between the two sides, and that's even the result of them destroying the Sword Mountain Sect from the very beginning.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived until now.

Tianxiao, the master of the Immortal Hall, glanced at Lin Jinglong and said telepathically, "Mr. Lin, we can't continue fighting like this. Why don't we back down?"

As long as they are willing to evacuate, some core members can be retained to ensure that the situation is not severely damaged.

Even if they lose, it doesn't matter.

They are not the ones who should be embarrassed!

Even the Sword Mountain Sect was wiped out; they were the ones who ended up in the worst state.

Meanwhile, the losses suffered by the Immortal Inquiry Hall are actually greater than theirs.

If Lin Jinglong is willing to cut his losses in time.

That would naturally be the best!

However, Lin Jinglong shook his head.

"No!"

Why?

"The people from the nearby Eternal Sect have already arrived. If the Invitation Hall cannot save face today, they will not let it go."

"What? Their higher-ups are here too!"

Tianxiao's face turned pale instantly.

Lin Jinglong looked back again. Lin Ye and Lian Shang were still not far away, but their reinforcements would be arriving soon.

He also reassured Tianxiao, telling him not to worry.

Lin Jinglong deduced that Lin Ye and Lian Shang, as heirs and hall masters, would naturally not lower themselves to participate in this conflict.

The Hall of Banished Immortals and the Hall of Inviting Immortals appear to be engaged in a fierce battle.

However, all of these battles were fought by individuals below the sixth rank, and there were actually very few at the sixth rank. It was merely a minor skirmish between the two major sects.

But if they were to get involved given their status...

That would be quite embarrassing!

This will affect their reputation.

Therefore, they would naturally operate from behind the scenes.

Once Wang Liang and the others arrive, the situation can be reversed, so there's nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, there was another group of people further away.

They were the elite of the Eternal Sect's Punishment Hall.

Qian Wu, an elder of the Punishment Hall, was among them. He looked at Wang Xiao's frantic back and shook his head.

"Why won't this kid listen to my advice? I should have beaten him up before and made him recover for a few months."

There was a middle-aged man with a thick beard standing in front of Qian Wu.

He watched coldly as Wang Xiao overpowered Tian Xiao and the others, a satisfied expression on his face.

"That's right, Wang Xiao still has guts. Even though he's just a mere Hall Master of the Immortal Invitation Hall, he hasn't disgraced our Eternal Sect."
