"And you're appointing me as the deputy?" Rachel was caught off guard nonetheless. Upon careful reflection, she recalled the pills that Severin had given them when he requested their presence. He seemed to have been planning ahead because he had begun entrusting them with important responsibilities.

"Shouldn't we hold a meeting to discuss something as significant as this? It doesn't seem right to announce it without any prior discussion," Gracie said after coming to her senses.

Severin smiled. 'Haha, what's there to discuss? I've already informed the sect leader. You'll all be the strongest remaining individuals in the sect once we leave, so the responsibility should naturally fall on all of you along with Heidi and Kara. They're both very promising practitioners, and they'll be appointed elders as well. Those with slightly lower attainment levels will become protectors."

Gracie could only smile sheepishly. "I'm not mentally prepared to shoulder the sudden responsibility. The pressure is huge!"

Rachel echoed her sentiments and said with a wry smile, "Exactly. The role of a deputy sect leader has never existed, and I have to assume this new position now! I'd be more comfortable as an elder though.

It's a much less stressful role."

"Only those whom our Supreme Leader has deemed suitable will be capable enough to take up this responsibility. It's only fitting that the two individuals with the highest attainment among all of us are chosen," Mick said with a grin.

*I agree. Gracie and Rachel are well-suited for the role," Fiona chimed in with a smile.

"This has been decided then. I'll give each of you several fifth-grade medium-rank pills. Make good use of

them and train diligently. I want all of you to have the upper hand when dealing with Horizon Sect, and I

don't want to lose any of you." Severin smiled and gave them four pills each.

"We'll dedicate ourselves to intensive training and show you the fruits of our labor when we confront the

Horizon Sect. By taking down several of their strongest men, we will earn all-round respect after your departure," Larry assured Severin.

Luke nodded and concurred. "We did well in the Paradise Secret Realm, but we weren't able to make significant contributions because we joined the sect a bit later than most people. If we don't prove ourselves to be very capable people, some of the older disciples might not accept us as their leaders." Severin nodded. "That's right, Luke. In due course, possessing high attainment and demonstrating your Impressive prowess are two crucial factors that will cement your future roles as the sect's elders."

Severin allowed them to leave after distributing the pills. Once they had left, he slowly made his way to Gilda's room, where she was soothing her newborn.

Severin gazed at Gilda and struggled to find the right words. After a pause, he said, "It'll be time for us to set the truth straight during Hardin's celebration feast. It's almost certain that the Horizon Sect will target the Skyblue Sect once they find out the truth."

Gilda nodded. "Yes. If Frederick's past actions are anything to go by, then he is most certainly a very vindictive person. Hell feel deceived after finding out that you're the man who saved me, and there will be no avoiding a battle between the Horizon Sect and the Skyblue Sect."

Severin held Gilda's hand and said earnestly, "We could just skip this and journey to that place directly, but doing so wouldn't eliminate the threat from the Horizon Sect. It will always be a cause of unease for the sect." "I understand that, but we still need to be confident in ourselves. Gilda said with a smile.
