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

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: The only one

"Why are you giving this to me?"

Eren looked at the ring that was tossed towards him. He didn't understand why Feng Yu was giving him the ring, especially since the ring she gave him was not a storage ring.

She gave him the Ring of the Sect Master. Although she had offered that ring to him in the past as well, that was when she thought she wasn't going to return alive.

Now that they were free, it didn't make sense for her to give him the ring. He didn't understand what she was planning right now.

'Is this a test?' he thought as he waited for Feng Yu's response.

"Those old fossils have come out of their hiding, haven't they?" Feng Yu asked a question of her own, instead of answering.

"Are you talking about the Ancestral Elders?" Eren landed on the Phoenix as well right as it started rising in the air.

"Who else would I call an old fossil?" Feng Yu responded, not reacting much. It was as if she already guessed what might have happened in the sect with her disappearance.

Eren understood why she was calling them old. They were from the era of her father. They were the Great Elders of the previous generation.

Even though they looked extremely young, they had lived for hundreds of years, especially the woman that he had seen before.

As for their strength, it was also quite terrifying. He only knew that they were weaker than Feng Yu when she became an Overlord, but they had been in seclusion from that moment onwards.

It was unclear how much their strength might have increased. Even then, they didn't leave the seclusion as long as Feng Yu was in the sect.

With Feng Yu's disappearance, quite a few Ancestral Elders had left the seclusion. As for how many were still in seclusion, he didn't know.

From Feng Yu's tone, he could feel that she didn't appear to hold any favorable impression of the Ancestral Elders. It was most probably the same for them as well.

The moment he thought about the Ancestral Elders and looked at the ring, his expressions turned dark as he thought of something. He was able to guess what Feng Yu was planning.

"Are you trying to use me as a pawn?" he asked, realizing her intentions.

For the next few days, Feng Yu couldn't use her abilities at all. If she returned like this, the Ancestral Elders might try things that could put her and the entire sect at risk.

There were a few of them who still held hostility towards her even though they didn't openly show it. She wasn't even sure how many of them were simply waiting to backstab her.

In the past, she even wanted to kill them all just to reduce any future risk. However, they didn't give her any excuse to wipe them, unlike the Ancestral Elders who had openly rebelled against her.

She also knew that as long as she was at the helm, they might always hide their poisonous fangs, waiting in the shadows for her weakest moment.

"A pawn? Not so much. But someone I can trust... Maybe," Feng Yu answered without even looking towards Eren.

There was only one person she trusted entirely. That person was Xiu Ying. However, Eren's recent actions made her want to trust him as well. That's also why she was willing to take the risk.

"This might be the only opportunity to get rid of the snakes in our backyard," she further said while Eren had grown silent. "If you succeed, you will be made a Great Elder..."

"Why don't you make Xiu Ying do it?" Eren asked out of curiosity. It didn't mean he wanted Xiu Ying to do it as it was risky for her as well. In any case, Xiu Ying wasn't in the sect in the first place.

Even though Xiu Ying was strong, she wasn't as strong as the Ancestral Elders. If anything went wrong, her life itself might be in danger.

"I don't have that much time. If it's Xiu Ying, they would hesitate for quite some time before taking action. It might drag for a few months. And if I'm not present for an entire month, the other Continents will also get involved," Feng Yu explained.

She made it clear that she wanted to end it as soon as possible. By telling him the plan, she showed that she had truly started trusting him.

If Eren betrayed her and went to the Ancestral Elders with this information, then the Ancestral Elders could also promise him the position of the Great Elder, maybe something even higher.

If they knew that she was so weak now, then they could easily take her out. She was putting her life in his hands. As for how he was going to handle that life, she wanted to see it for herself.

For some reason, she really hoped that Eren wasn't going to break that trust. It took a lot of effort for her to trust someone again.

Eren silently looked at Feng Yu's back, his gaze occasionally falling on the Ring of the Sect Master.

He sighed eventually and wore the ring on his finger.

.....

The Great Demon Sect was quite chaotic recently. A few days had passed since the Sect Master had disappeared.

The Frost Demon and his disciple were also found missing, with quite a few bodies found buried in the frozen mountain.

Not long after, Elder Eren had also disappeared. Even Xiu Ying who was trusted by the Sect Master wasn't in the sect, leaving no one to take the lead.

Even worse was the fact that the Ancestral Elders had come out of their seclusion, basically declaring Feng Yu dead.

This news spread amongst all the Elders, who were in shock. Not only did someone infiltrate the sect but they even took out the Sect Master and the Frost Demon? Many Elders were in disbelief, and the same was with the Great Elders.

The news was still kept hidden from the disciples, at least for now. However, the sect disciples could still feel that something was going on in the sect.

At the moment, all the Great Elders had gathered in the main palace of the Great Demon Sect.

In front of them, there was the throne of the sect master. However, a woman was sitting on the throne at the moment, being the same Ancestral Elder that Eren had seen before.
