"Previously ambushed by the Deserters, we paid a tremendous price, and it pains me."
Luo Qingxuan's gaze fell towards the direction of the Deserters and continued, "The current situation, as everyone can see, the Deserters still refuse to give up. If we can't respond appropriately, upon entering the relics, I'm afraid there will be even greater losses."
"Therefore, I have specially discussed with the Commandery Princess and decided to select someone to oversee everything, to lead everyone in resisting the Deserters."
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately stirred in confusion. None present were fools, naturally understanding that once inside the relics, Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei would surely rush to the depths of the relics at the fastest possible speed to vie for the most central resources and would not stay to deal with the Deserters.
Moreover, if either Luo Qingxuan or Su Yuwei were willing to deal with the Deserters, they wouldn't need to say much; no one would dare oppose.
So, the most likely scenario was to select someone else to oversee the others.
Could it be Lu Qing staying behind?
Without allowing much time for speculation, Luo Qingxuan announced directly, "Wang Junze, from this moment forward, you are responsible for everything concerning the Deserters and the contention and distribution of resources within the relics. Any problems?"
"Yes!"
Bowing slightly, Wang Junze answered in a deep voice, "I will give it my all!"
"Buzz!"
This time, the crowd exploded with commotion.
Although they had already anticipated Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei's intention, no one expected it would be Wang Junze. Moreover, not just in the fight against the Deserters, but he also had direct rights over resource allocation. Such authority was too great.
It's worth noting, many had planned to only explore the outermost areas after entering the relics, willing to gather as many resources as possible without planning to delve deeper or confront the Deserters.
After all, since Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei wouldn't stay near the relic outskirts, no one could control them. But now, the authority was directly handed to Wang Junze, greatly limiting their freedom. Furthermore, if they paid lip service but didn't comply with Wang Junze, he could even strip them of their resource distribution rights, which was far too harsh.
"Saintess, Commandery Princess, though Wang Junze is exceptionally talented, he's ultimately still young and lacks experience, and is only at the Condensing Truth stage... Isn't this somewhat hasty?"
Soon, someone tentatively voiced opposition.
Of course, not everyone was displeased.
Some rejoiced, and some lamented. Hearing this, those with close ties to Wang Junze, such as the Divine Blade Sect and Phoenix Perch Pavilion, were thrilled. The greater Wang Junze's authority, the more benefits they could potentially gain, which was far easier than directly communicating with Luo Qingxuan or perhaps Su Yuwei.
"Divine Blade Sect, willing to heed Young Master Wang's orders!"
Without any hesitation, the Divine Blade Sect first expressed their stance.
"Indeed, Phoenix Perch Pavilion is also willing to cooperate with Young Master Wang," the Pavilion Master of Phoenix Perch Pavilion chimed in.
"Haha, indeed! In the Cloud Mirror Sect battle, we have witnessed Young Master Wang's capabilities. Although his cultivation is still at Condensing Truth, his strength is by no means inferior to those at Refining Spirit. We will fully cooperate!"
Many Sects and families who participated in that Cloud Mirror Sect battle echoed in agreement.
In this way, the opposing voices were quickly drowned out.
"Very good!"
Pressing her hand down to signal the crowd to quiet down, Luo Qingxuan continued, "Since everyone has no objections, this matter is settled."
Listening to Luo Qingxuan's words, many were so frustrated they felt like spitting blood. What did she mean everyone had no objections, when they did voice opposition, did you just pretend not to hear?
Of course, these were merely inward complaints; no one dared to say them aloud in front.
"Let me make this clear, now that this is decided, should anyone harbor ill intentions inside the relics, be two-faced and disrupt the grand scheme... neither I nor the Saintess will show leniency."
Su Yuwei's gaze swept over the crowd as she spoke lightly.
These words were both a support for Wang Junze and a threat to others.
"Yes!"
With things spoken to this extent, regardless of inner willingness, there was no room for refusal, or else they would be offending both Su Yuwei and Luo Qingxuan. Who would dare to take that risk?
