Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Scheme
After a while,
Sheng, standing on the special stage, glanced at the floating podiums around the stage. On each podium, there lay thrones with different types of figures sitting on them, each exuding original and heavy suppression.
"Disciple Sheng, this meeting is held because of an incident that happened in the abyss realm; please explain everything you encountered and witnessed clearly in the abyss realm during the trail." One of the sect leaders asked solemnly,
Sheng glanced at everyone around and nodded and replied, "Inside the abyss realm, I heard young master Feng has a special map leading to a special area with abundant spirit crystals, so I followed them sneakily."
Sheng's expression became a little embarrassed looking at the sect master, seeing they were still watching him. He coughed and spoke further: "After finding the area, they started digging the land. I also noticed a hidden area behind the small cliff with a lot of crystals. I went there in order to dig crystal. I was lucky, but I didn't expect such good luck was leading me to the bad luck."
"After collecting a few thousand spirit crystals, suddenly I felt quietness around; the digging sound disappeared like a smoke, then I hurriedly went near the cliff in order to check the master Feng and his followers situation, lest they discover him."
Instantly, Sheng's body shook as if he recalled something horrible, then he continued, "I saw a different scene contrary to my expectations: a tall demon with black horns; all disciples, including young master Feng, were standing stationary while suppressed; that demon asked them about the heavens outside, their purpose of visit, even the way to leave the abyss realms."
"Instantly, I felt that demon noticed my existence; I turned around and ran away using my sword; as expected, I found him in front of me in the void after running for a while, then two sect elders arrived on time as I already reached halfway near elders locations, but the demon killed both of them instantly."
"Next elder Lin and others arrived, but still they couldn't keep that abyss demon; he ran away," Sheng replied, and then sighed, bowing his head silently.
The sect leaders sitting on the podiums and other elders and great elders around the stage glanced at each other and started whispering,
"I Lin Xiao testify he isn't lying; the situation is the same as he described; we located those disciple identity badges and searched the location but couldn't find any struggling marks; it seems they were killed instantly.
Also, I take the responsibility of letting the demon run away; please, prime leaders, allow me to track and destroy that abyss demon once and for all." Elder Lin stepped forward and spoke, clasping her fist in front of all sect leaders above.
"I also testify."
"I also testify."
Other elders beside her on that day also stepped forward, testified, and requested a hunt operation.
"What can you do? You already lost a few potential disciples and elders in front of your eyes; you all are failures, yet you want another chance to fail worse than before."
One of the sect leaders, who was silent from the beginning, spoke, looking at Elder Lin and others.
"Prime leader Han is right; the abyss demon appearance you described is definitely an abyss devourer," a senior-aged sect leader stood up on his podium and spoke, acknowledging the young sect leader Han's words,
"We have decided to send great elders of immortal spirit class; they must hunt that demon before the demon finds his way to the heavens." The old elder then spoke and glanced at Sheng and elder Lin below.
The sect leaders announced the judgment, "Disciple Sheng is free to go as for elder Lin and others are punished for one heaven cycle; they must stay in hell gate and reflect on their failure."
"Thank you, sect leaders and elders." Sheng hurriedly saluted and bowed with a smile, while Elder Lin and others stood silently clenching their fists, but they didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction; they just accepted the punishment calmly.
Sheng also thanked the elder Lin and others for lifesaving grace; they just nodded in his direction but didn't say anything and walked away.
Sheng glanced at their back, then also silently walked down the trial strage.
"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng." Instantly, he heard someone calling his name from behind. He turned around and glanced at three disciples walking toward him hurriedly.
Sheng nodded in their direction with a smile and asked, "How are you, guy?"
"We are fine; we heard that you and a few elders were brought to the trial stage; we thought it was over; it's a relief that you are fine." One of the disciples the same age spoke hurriedly and familiarly.
"We are fine; we admire you for surviving in the hands of a true abyss lord." Another disciple spoke, patting his shoulder.
Sheng glanced at them for a while and then shook his head and replied with a humble expression on his face, "It was just pure luck; to tell the truth, I thought I wouldn't be able to get out of those abyss demon clutches."
The disciples glanced at his humble expression strangely, and then all three of them laughed and started asking about the abyss lord. Unlike first heaven, second heaven is quite popular with abyss creatures invasions.
Sheng then replied to all their answers while walking with them toward their sect peak.
Meanwhile, someone among the crowd of disciples was looking at him coldly with a poisonous gaze. 'Sheng, don't think my brother's death will let you survive; I will kill you personally.' The disciple thought and turned around and walked away.
Sheng suddenly stopped, turned around, and glanced at the direction of the disciple crowd behind him. During trials, basically outer, inner, core, and true disciples are allowed.
After searching for a specific disciple among the crowd, 'It seems he left,' Sheng thought to himself and walked forward.
"What happened?" The fellow disciples beside him asked curiously, looking at the crowd behind them.
"Nothing; it's just an intuition; I felt someone was staring at me with an ill-intentioned gaze." Sheng shook his head and replied,
"It must be those Fang; you had a life-and-death duel with young master Fang; these Fang's are really shameless; you must be careful, Sheng; they are deeply rooted in this sect; endure it or you may fall into huge trouble." The fellow disciples beside him spoke, expressing disgust against some surname Fang, and then reminded,
Sheng nodded thoughtfully while walking forward; soon they reached the outer disciple residence areas.
"See you later. I hope you become an inner disciple in the coming sect competition; then those Fang can't do anything to you." The fellow disciple patted his shoulder and advised; the other two nodded at him. see-NovelFire-for-more
Sheng also nodded and thanked, and then all of them walked toward their own courtyard respectfully.
Inside the courtyard hall, Sheng glanced around, then walked toward the main room, closed the door, sat down on the cold jade bed,
'As expected with my current true immortal strength, no one can see through my bead spirit disguise function, not even those immortal emperors.' Sheng thought, and then his figure and facial features changed back to their original form; his disguise disappeared.
Looking at his appearance in the black nanobot mirror, 'As expected, I am really handsome,' Lin Lee thought and nodded narcissistically, then his expression became playful.
'A family melodramatic plot; it's going to be interesting; let's wait for this another remaining young master Fang to show his fangs.' Lin Lee thought to himself,
…
Few days passed.
In the deep, silent night, chilly wind caressing the leaves, instantly the insect ringing stopped.
Lin Lee opened his eyes, sitting cross-legged in the bed, his mouth arched with a playful smile; walked outside the room looking at the courtyard door.
Knock! Knock!! Knock!!!
"Open the door." A stern voice sounded from outside.
'Here comes the first bloody scheme,'
Lin Lee thought and walked toward the door and opened it.
"Elder Kun, how can I help you?" Lin Lee asked curiously, looking at the stern middle-aged man standing outside wearing law enforcement robe.
He is the law enforcement officer in charge, elder Kun, a strict person with a bad reputation.
"Go search his courtyard and find the stolen objects." Elder Kun glanced at Lin Lee and then waved his hand and ordered the law disciplinary disciples behind him.
"Disciple Sheng, hand over your storage ring for inspection; some spirit crystals have been stolen from the sect pavilion; I have received the reports that you were seen there; Cooperate or I will have to take you to the law enforcement peak," Elder Kun said solemnly, then raised his hand.
Instantly, the storage ring slipped from Lin Lee's hand and fell into the elder kun palm. After invading his spiritual sense and seeing a heap of a few thousand spirit crystals, a smile flashed through the elder Kun's face, and then his expression become ruthless; killing intent brewed up in his pupils.
