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

Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Using the ring

The ring on Eren's finger was one that was used by the Sect Masters. The next sect master was also assigned through the transfer of the ring.

This was also the reason that Feng Yu became the Sect Master in the past, even though she wasn't strong enough at that time.

This ring was the one and only reason the Ancestral Elders couldn't come up with a moral justification to take the Sect Master position.

Many of them tried to manipulate Feng Yu into giving them the ring, scaring them that she was too young and she might bring the sect to ruins. They said that the Sect doesn't deserve a weak sect master like her.

Despite all that, Feng Yu didn't hand them the position. In the end, the Ancestral Elders could only try other means. They attempted to kill her, not realizing that it was going to bring forth a catastrophe for the sect.

All those who took part in the rebellion were killed by Feng Yu. The ones who didn't do anything or were on the fence during the rebellion weren't left either.

Once Feng Yu killed all traitors, she forced all the Great Elders of that era into seclusion, never to see the light of the outside world.

All that started because of that one ring that was on Eren's finger now. This one ring changed the entire hierarchy of the sect.

Eren could notice the strange expressions of Ancestral Elder Jia and Ancestral Elder Yang. There were also a few more who had noticed his ring, revealing a frown.

Still, he didn't see even the slightest of desire to submit to him in their eyes. Even though they didn't outright attack him, it was clear that they wouldn't hesitate to stab him at any given opportunity.

If possible, Eren didn't want to be in a situation like this. However, it was all for the greatest good. He had to take the Sect Master's position at the moment. If he failed now, it was going to be impossible in the future.

Even though the Ancestral Elders in this place were strong enough to kill him, but he still maintained his calm. Even if they were strong enough to kill him, they couldn't do it as long as he was inside the Palace.

The Palace wasn't just the official residence of the Sect Master but also the place where the official treasury of the Sect was established.

It was the place where only the Sect Master could enter, and the key for that was none other than the ring he was wearing.

He wasn't greedy for the treasures in this place. What intrigued him the most were the protective formations in this place.

As the treasury was here, the protective formations that were cast on the entire palace were in an entirely different league altogether. They could also be activated with the ring.

As long as he was careful, he couldn't be killed in this place, all thanks to the numerous formations that were under his control here.

Still, he knew that the formations weren't without flaws either. If that wasn't the case, then Fey wouldn't have been able to take out Feng Yu, even though she was distracted.

Fortunately, the people here don't know about that flaw in the formation. Even Fey only knew about it thanks to the Author who basically handed over the entire plan to kidnap Feng Yu.

Once he became the sect master, he could also receive another Question Voucher and meet that person again.

"You arrogant man, it looks like you won't be satisfied until you see your tombstone!" The Ancestral Elder who still hadn't noticed that ring was fuming at Eren's arrogance.

Just because this person killed a Great Elder, did he really think that he was an Overlord?

"Get down on your knees for me!" The Ancestral Elder roared, his voice brimming with divine laws that made every Grand Elder feel like their heads were going to explode.

A terrifying aura descended in the entire hall. The Great Elders fell to their knees, unable to resist the pressure. Some were even bleeding with their ears and nose.

This was the aura of the Ancestral Elder who was in an entirely different league than the Great Elders. They were the beings who were the most powerful in the Great Demon Sect if one was to exclude Feng Yu.

Almost the entire hall was on its knees, except the Ancestral Elders. There was one more person who wasn't on their knees. It was none other than Eren, the aura of the Sword Emperor covering his entire body.

His aura was further boosted with the help of the ring that protected him from outside influence in the Palace.

Eren remained completely unaffected by the aura of the Ancestral Elder as if he couldn't even feel it.

Under the suppressive aura of the Ancestral Elder, he walked forward, only to stop before the throne where Ancestral Elder Jia was sitting.

He didn't even pay any attention to the Ancestral Elder who tried to suppress him, as if he wasn't worth his attention.

"How dare you ignore me?!" The Ancestral Elder was furious at being ignored by something that he considered a mere ant.

He didn't understand how Eren could ignore his aura and suppression, only believing it to be the work of some protective treasure.

Even if Eren had a treasure that could protect him from aura suppression, could it also save him from an attack? The Ancestral Elder had already made up his mind to kill Eren for this disrespect.

"The traitor is trying to hurt the next Sect Master! I will kill him!" he exclaimed, offering justification in advance as he attacked Eren.

The ring on Eren's finger shone as he finally gazed at the old Ancestral Elder who didn't know his place.

A formation appeared above the grand hall, releasing a suppression that was even stronger than the Ancestral Elder's suppression.
