Chapter 256 - The Devil Religion Really Came

Before the Scarlet Fire Hall finished speaking, Song Ru had already taken a step forward. Her gaze was like lightning as she looked at him and shouted in a low voice, “A bunch of nonsense! Eldest Senior Sister is a high and mighty figure, how could she do such a thing? If you want to frame her, don't use such a brainless method!”

“Song Ru!” Eyun slapped his palm on the armrest and shouted in a deep voice, “Don't be rude!”

He looked serious, but in fact, he desperately winked at Song Ru. He sighed in his heart. This little disciple that he doted on the most, he let her go out and travel these years. She had stayed far away from the internal strife of the sect. Now that she had returned, she had developed a wild character that did not fear the heavens and earth.

And she actually ran into this troublesome matter all of a sudden...

Eyun let go of his finger. There was no longer any need to calculate this Sudden Inspiration divination. An open plot was clearly laid out in front of him.

The old man's gaze swept across the other three hall masters standing below the stairs. They were his fellow disciples. They were the losers of the competition for the position of Sect Master.

The competition for the position of sect master might have been because the Soaring Wisdom Sect had become the number one sect in the Middle Continent. It was the warmest and most peaceful time because of the previous Sect Master, the Heaven's Path Master. Or rather, Zi Chen, Yin Fen, had directly appointed Eyun as the next Sect Master before he left.

Logically speaking, there was no such thing as the position of Sect Master.

However, Yin Fen had imprisoned a devil and took the initiative to remove the position of Sect Master and chose to leave. His prestige in the Soaring Wisdom Sect had reached an unimaginable height.

Who would dare to oppose his last order before he left? There was no such thing.

Because of this, Eyun, who originally had no thoughts about the position of the leader, became the next leader. The other ambitious brothers, who were engaged in a fierce fight, sat on the bench.

But now he knew.

Those ambitions had never faded. It was just that over the years, they were covered up by their seemingly downhearted and honest appearance.

Now, they were flickering in their eyes like volcanoes that had been silent for many years. They were filled with impatience and surging magma.

The Scarlet Fire Hall Master, who had launched the first attack, looked at him without any hesitation. There was even a faint smile on his face. There was not a trace of guilt in his eyes, only ridicule.

Many years had passed, and in their eyes, Eyun was just a submissive and gentle person. He didn't have the slightest dignity of a Sect Master. If it wasn't for Yin Fen's last will, he definitely wouldn't have had the chance to sit in this position.

Who knew that they would be so frightened and fearful that they would actually kneel down and tremble.

“Get up.” Vast Nether Hall Master said gently, “Tell everything you've seen and experienced to the patriarch. The patriarch has always been fair, and he will definitely make the decision for you.”

“Yes...” Ling Bai hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice, “Eldest Senior Sister, Eldest Senior Sister, she... I don't know why she only helped that devil. We, we fought with our lives on the line. Many of our senior brothers and sisters were killed by that devil. A lot of blood. I, I was afraid at that time, so I jumped into the river immediately. Coincidentally, I had a Turtle Breathing Talisman on me. I was so scared. I kept swimming until I reached the shore. I only had time to send out a signal. When I woke up, I was already saved.”

Song Ru was first stunned, then her eyes were filled with disbelief and pain in her heart.

It was not that she did not dare to believe that Eldest Senior Sister would actually do such a thing. Song Na did not care about the lives of more than 80 disciples of the noble families and helped the devil escape! When this news was spread out, 10 out of 10 would not believe it.

What she did not dare to believe was that there was actually a traitor in the Azure Pill Hall!

Eldest Senior Sister was very protective of the disciples of the Red and Green Halls, but in the end, she was actually stabbed in the back by her own people.

Vast Nether Hall Master's eyes turned to another person and continued to speak gently, “Very good. How about you?”

The disciple with the Dao name Ling Ji lowered his body and trembled. Then, he raised his head and revealed a distorted face that was full of tears. He shouted at the top of his lungs, “Sect Master! Palace masters! I beg you, please kill that devil. I saw him kill many people with my own eyes. All the people on the ship were dead! It was too terrifying. In that instant, taking advantage of the dragon shadow to attack the ship... Eldest Senior Sister and Eldest Senior Sister must have been controlled and bewitched. Otherwise, why would they do such a thing?”

He cried and cried. It was not easy for him to be pacified.

The words of these two disciples verified each other and made up a relatively complete and trustworthy fact.

Eyun's hand under his sleeve trembled slightly. He looked around. The silence in the hall continued, but it could not continue.

A person suddenly came in from outside and whispered into Palace Master Fu Song's ear before taking his leave.

Palace Master Fu Song also stepped forward and said, “Reporting to the Sect Master, the few elders and disciples who went to investigate the situation have unfortunately been killed by the devil. The situation cannot be delayed. Please make a decision as soon as possible!”

The other two Palace Masters echoed, “Please make a decision as soon as possible, Sect Master!”

Eyun was silent for a moment, then he sighed and said, “The four palaces, listen to my order -“

Another person suddenly came in from outside, his expression panicked, and said, “Not good, the Devil Cult and Devil Cult suddenly attacked the mountain, they have already broken the first layer of the formation!”
