My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Cheat with Style

"The Great Demon Sect's Battleship is headed here? Are you sure it's them?" another Elder asked, trying to keep his voice steady despite the rising panic.

Elder Wei nodded. "The scouts have confirmed it. We have little time to prepare. They should be here in a few minutes."

Many Great Elders had hoped that this was going to be a misunderstanding. But when it was confirmed that the Demon Sect was heading for this place, the room erupted into chaos.

The Great Elders began to argue amongst themselves, their voices overlapping with each other. Some suggested immediate surrender, while others demanded to prepare for a fight.

"If we surrender, we might survive! Why fight when we can't win?!"

"Do you think that they will let us live if we surrender?! Did you forget the time when that emotionless Demoness went to eradicate the sects? Those who surrendered were still annihilated!"

"If we surrender, we might die even faster!"

The arguments kept increasing as more and more elders started panicking.

"Enough!" A cold voice cut through the chaos. It was Great Elder Lian, the oldest and most respected among the Great Elders. "It is true. If the Demon Sect has decided to destroy us, surrendering won't save us."

"Do we have no choice but to fight? How about we run away?" Another Great Elder asked.

"Do you think the Demon Sect won't expect that? It might even lead us to our deaths faster," Great Elder Lian responded.

"So, we can only fight and accept our fate? Is that what you are saying?"

"No! I'm saying we might fight and win, but if we don't fight, we will only lose! The Demon Sect is arrogant. I don't think they'll send their Great Elders to destroy us. Even Feng Yu won't come personally."

"And I doubt they would send more than one Elder since they look down on us after how easily our Sect Master was killed. If that's the case, we might actually have a chance!"

"How would we have a chance? Even if it's just one Elder and a few disciples, that's more than enough. How can we kill someone who even the Sect Master couldn't?!" someone argued back.

"Because this is our place! We have the support of all the sect's protective formations. If we use them well, we can kill the Elder and the disciples. That would buy us time to escape before the Sect sends other Elders."

"But if we try to escape now, we would be giving up our advantage. What do you prefer? Fighting that person outside the sect or inside the sect?" Elder Lian asked, his voice echoing through the hall.

Following his words, the place grew silent. Even the Great Elder who had been arguing back stopped.

It was truly a much better choice to fight within the sect where they had the advantage than outside while attempting to escape.

"Seal the sect and activate the protection formations. We must buy ourselves time."

"But Elder Lian," another Elder asked, "our resources are mostly depleted. How long can we sustain the formation?"

"We don't have a choice," Elder Lian replied. "We must kill them before the formation fails. Hurry up!"

"We don't have much time! Inform the other Elders to prepare and meet me at the entrance of our Sect!"

The Elders quickly dispersed to execute Elder Lian's orders.

....

On the Celestial Battleship, Eren stood at the bow, gazing at the horizon. The ten weakest disciples stood behind him.

They still weren't informed what they had to do, even though so much time had passed. All they knew was that it had something to do with the Asura Sect.

"Elder Ren, what is our plan once we reach the Asura Sect?" one of the disciples asked, his voice shaking slightly.

Eren turned to face them, his expression calm and composed. "Your mission is simple. You just have to enter the Asura Sect and kill everyone."

"But don't worry, you won't have to fight the Sect Master. I have already killed him. At best, you'll have to face their Great Elders."

The Disciples were previously filled with excitement about the opportunity they had. But when they heard the details about this mission, they grew stunned.

What did he mean they only had to kill the Great Elders of the Asura Sect? It was easier said than done, especially for them. Even killing ordinary Elders might be hard for them.

Eren told him that they just had to kill everyone except the Sect Master like they weren't killing powerful cultivators but going on shopping.

Unfortunately, there was nothing else they could do about it. Instead of dying at Eren's hands, it was better to take the risk which came with high rewards.

Moreover, they didn't think Eren was a fool. Why would he choose them if he thought they couldn't do it? Failing here could only bring embarrassment to the Demon Sect after all.

Hence, they believed that there were only two possibilities. First was that Eren was lying about not fighting in this battle. He was going to get involved.

As for the second possibility, it was that the mission looked hard but they could actually complete it without anyone's help.

Was it because the Elders of the Asura Sect were weaker than them? Was their reputation exaggerated? They weren't sure.

....

There were a few small cities established around the Asura Sect. But when the citizens saw the giant ship hovering above their cities, they were horrified.

They saw the Battleship fly past their cities and towards the Asura Sect. Many citizens wondered if something big was about to happen.

Only a few of them had recognised the Battleship as one that belonged to the Great Demon Sect.

Soon, the Battleship reached the Valley where the Asura Sect was established.

The sect's protective formations glowed with a bright light, as if challenging the Asura Sect.

Eren looked at the formation and smiled.

Along the way, I thought about all the different ways I can cheat to complete this option. But this truly seems like the best option. Since I'm going to cheat, I will cheat with style.'
