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

Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Inviting a disaster; Devourer

Eren pushed the door open and stepped inside the house that hung by the edge of the cliff. From the outside, the house looked small but on the inside, it was much bigger under the effect of spatial enhancement crystal.

As Eren landed inside the house, he noticed Ancestral Elder Yang sitting next to the window, looking in the direction of the Central Area.

"That was a foolish choice that you made," he said without even looking back.

"To survive a foolish world, one can only make foolish choices," Eren told the man. He looked around the room to find Zia but she wasn't anywhere to be found.

He could only feel some spatial disturbance in the surroundings, making him feel like something similar to a Teleportation Talisman had been used.

"Since you made a foolish choice, I suppose you can't blame me for making one either," Ancestral Elder Zia stated, his expressions somewhat solemn.

"Where is she?" Eren asked the Ancestral Elder. He had thought that the man was young to blackmail him, attempting to kill him by using Zia.

That was going to be an opportunity for him to free Zia with the help of Yelen. However, the situation appeared different. He wondered if it was because of him freezing Feng Yu.

Ancestral Elder Yang smiled as he turned around, revealing an amused smile. "You are an interesting man, Ren Necroline. A spy from the Hero Academy who sided with the Great Demon Sect?"

"Did you think that would work out for you?" he asked. "I wonder how much more you can amuse me before you break down."

Eren was not surprised by the face that Ancestral Elder Yang knew his secondary identity which was related to the Hero Academy.

As Ancestral Elder Yang was also related to the Hero Academy, it made sense for him to know about other spies that were planted here.

Even then, he went through with this plan to see which side he was going to choose, most probably to test his loyalty.

"Since you chose Feng Yu, why do you care about those disciples of yours? You already received what you selected. As for what you abandoned, I have already sent them to the place you abandoned."

Ancestral Elder Yang turned back towards the window, letting out a tired sigh. "If you want them back, you can only go there yourself and accept the punishment for your betrayal from the Overlord."

Following Ancestral Elder Yang's words, Eren was able to decipher what he was implying. Those who he abandoned were sent to the place he had abandoned. It had only a single meaning.

His disciples were sent to the Mythical Hero Academy as prisoners? He was also a little taken aback as the man didn't say disciple but disciples. That meant it was more than one.

"Yu Lin?" Eren mumbled out loud, his words falling in Ancestral Elder Yang's ears.

"Hahaha, you truly are not foolish. That makes me wonder even more about what made you take that foolish choice," Ancestral Elder Yang burst into laughter. "What a pity that disciples will have to pay for their master's mistakes."

"Two months," he told Eren as he pushed the window open, letting the fresh air brush against his skin.

"If you don't come to accept the punishment for your betrayal within two months, they will accept the punishment for your sins. The choice is yours." As he finished speaking, his figure started disappearing slowly.

"Oh, and one more thing. I don't know what means you used to get stronger, but I advise you to not attack me. I'm the only reason that you received two months of time. If I don't get there, I can't fulfill this deadline. Who knows, they might die by tonight."

It was as if Ancestral Elder Yang could read Eren's mind. As he still didn't fully understand Eren's means, he didn't want to take risks by fighting him.

If he was delayed here, it was only going to give Feng Yu the time to arrive here. Once Feng Yu arrived, he did not even want to imagine the kind of death he was going to receive.

The best option was to just leave without taking any unnecessary risks.

"What a pity... So many years in this once and for it to all fall apart like this." His tired sigh echoed in the surroundings. "If only our Overlord hadn't been delayed due to some important reasons, she would have been here as well..."

His figure soon completely disappeared, leaving behind only an empty room where Eren was the only person left standing.

Eren stared at the empty spot for quite some time, his fists clenched tightly. Two months... That's all the time he was given to save his people.

"Since you are so kind to invite me again, I will make sure to visit with a nice gift," Eren said, his gaze looking into the distance, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He had already used the identity of Devourer and didn't want to have to do that again. But now, the Hero Academy had gone too far by taking his disciples.

If they wanted the return of Devourer so bad, then he was going to give them the return they were craving for.

Because he had failed to rescue Zia, the option was not completed yet and his main options were stuck. He already had his priorities set.

Still, just to be sure, he returned to the Palace in the Core Region. He appeared in the room where Yu Lin was supposed to be staying safely.

Unfortunately, she wasn't there. There were some signs of struggle, as well as the remnant aura of another Ancestral Elder who was the woman that was about to take the Sect Master's position.

Sighing, he stepped out of the room and walked back to the main hall to see how Feng Yu was doing. The moment he opened the door, he caught the sight of bodies lying everywhere that were impossible to even recognise.

Amidst the bloody hall, Feng Yu was standing like a fairy, completely untouched by the filth of this world.
