“And how should I prove it?” Su Luo coldly spat out.

The Seventh Elder and the Fifth Elder stood together on the same side, while the Fourth Elder remained neutral. At the moment, only the Eighth Elder stood by her side; this situation was far from favorable.

A trace of smugness lurked in the depths of the Fifth Elder’s eyes, as he interposed into their conversation: “Those five people had a combined strength roughly equal to……a person ranked 50th on the Dragon List.”

“Oh?” The corners of Su Luo’s lips curled up slightly.

The corners of the Fifth Elder’s lips carried an evil sneer: “So long as you can prove that your strength has become equivalent to the 50th ranked individual Dragon List, the deaths of those five people would be merely deemed normal deaths… Thereupon, nobody will continue to hold you accountable for them.”

“Or else?” Su Luo crossed her arms over her chest nonchalantly.

“Or else, you can get the hell out of Upstream Mountain!” The Fifth Elder rose to his full height with a snarl!

Su Luo\'s gaze swept across the rest of the Elders\' faces. Besides slightly frowning Eighth Elder, the other three Elders evidently seemed to share the same opinion.

“Fourth Elder agrees as well?” Su Luo asked the Fourth Elder, who stood neutral.

The Fourth Elder gazed at Su Luo, his expression cold and solemn: “You were brought in by Xiao Luo; however, you did not take the assessment, and you don’t have a proper 1. Even if you personally do not care, you should still consider this on Xiao Luo’s behalf.”

Su Luo nodded, expressing her understanding.

At this time, the Eighth Elder spoke up: “Certainly, you ought to participate in this assessment. However, achieving rank 50th may prove challenging. Who here isn\'t aware that Wuyao is the current holder of the 50th position? Can Su Luo surpass Wuyao? All three of you bullying Grandmaster Rong Yun\'s disciple in this fashion is in no way pleasant."

The Fifth Elder\'s expression looked grim.

The Seventh Elder sent a fierce glare at the Eighth Elder.

The Fourth Elder pondered silently.

“Hehe, for the first time ever, Old Eighth\'s words are pleasant to hear. ” A chuckle sounded from outside, attracting everyone\'s eyes to the source. Came into their sight was an elderly man, whose garments were stained with all sorts of chemicals.

Those allowed to enter this room were limited to the members of the Elder standing.

As such, when the Sixth Elder appeared, he only elicited a slight frown on everyone\'s brows.

The Fifth Elder glanced at the Sixth Elder: “Go busy yourself with your medicines. We don’t need you here.”

The Fifth Elder knew that the Sixth Elder and Su Luo were of the same ilk, sharing vile habits and even deeming themselves good friends regardless of the age difference. Their relationship was beyond good. As such, his coming here can only be to help Su Luo, which was why the Fifth Elder attempted to drive the Sixth Elder away.

However, the Sixth Elder had flown over with haste, so how could he be dismissed with just a single sentence? Instead, he squeezed himself by the Fifth Elder\'s side, shoving the Fifth Elder to the side, as he coldly snorted,“Old Fifth, you are simply severely overstepping!”

The Fifth Elder gazed angrily: “What utter nonsense!”

The Sixth Elder glanced across to the Seventh and Fourth Elders: “You all don’t want the Su girl, right? Very well, then let me take her back with me. You all might not want here, but our Pill Refining Tower is more than willing to fight to have her!”

“Old Sixth! Shut your mouth!” The Fifth Elder rebuked, “The jurisdiction of the Pill Refining Tower lies with me, not you— who can enter or not, depends on my word!”

The Sixth Elder coldly sneered: ”When my mood is pleasant, I can address you as Fifth Brother. But, otherwise, you are nothing! Do you want to compare and see who among the two of us is the first in the Pill Refining Tower and the true leader of the Pill Refining Tower?”

While saying so, the Sixth Elder rolled his sleeves up, as if preparing to start a big fight.

Originally, he and the Fifth Elder held co-jurisdiction over the Pill Refining Tower. Nevertheless, by virtue of his slightly stronger abilities in refining medicine, he was the head despite having a lower rank.

However, because he deemed managing these mundane worldly matters tedious, he dumped all of the jurisdiction to the Fifth Elder, resulting in Fifth Elder gradually becoming the face of the Tower.

When the Sixth Elder spewed out these words, the Fifth Elder was angered to the point of nearly fainting!
