Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Splendid view in afterlife

"Someone attempted to kill my disciple. What makes you think that you will be the one to decide the punishment?" Eren asked, his voice brimming with authority.

"But the sword-" Frost Demon attempted to speak, only to be abruptly silenced by Eren's interruption.

"The sword is not an apology from him. It is as an apology for you, for your failure in properly instructing your disciple," Eren answered, his words laced with disappointment and reprimand.

In any other circumstance, anyone who dared interrupt his sentence would face the wrath of his anger. They would have been killed.

However, in this situation, the Frost Demon didn't have such freedom unless he wanted to lose his disciple.

Normally, the Frost Demon didn't care about his disciple this much. But Ye Liang had never failed to surprise him with his cultivation and growth.

He even mastered some really difficult skills in a short time, as if he had some external help. In Frost Demon's eyes, it was pure talent. He didn't know about the existence of a system.

It was only because of this assumed talent, Frost Demon was paying such attention to this new disciple of his. He even gave him the communication crystal that he had never given to his other disciples.

He believed that Ye Liang could become the strongest cultivator of this continent with his talent. For him, it was only a matter of time. That was... Unless he died before that.

No matter what, Frost Demon did not want to lose his disciple, so he controlled his anger.

Fortunately, there was no one else to watch this scene. Or they would have been stunned to see the Frost Demon being treated like this.

After the Blood Demon Zhang Wei, Frost Demon was the most well known Elder of this sect. And now, a new Elder who hasn't even been here for a year was scolding him?

"I do need someone to take care of some pesky matters for me after all. From this moment until the end of the expedition, he will be my servant."

"You!" The Frost Demon thought that Eren wanted his disciple to take part in the mission for the sect, but he only wanted him as a servant?

He couldn't fathom why Eren would want to use another Elder's personal disciple as a mere servant. Was this an attempt to humiliate him?

"You have the choice to accept this punishment, or we can resort to more drastic measures," Eren provocatively suggested. "Considering the size of the mountain, I am confident I can find a suitable place to bury you two..."

His smile widened as added, "Would you prefer the peak of the mountain or the bottom? Personally, I find the south-facing side to be quite appealing. You'll have a splendid view of the sunset in the afterlife."

Frost Demon interjected, "Do not go too far!"

"We have already gone past the point of 'too far' the moment someone tried to hurt my disciple. This is me being merciful, but you can refuse if you want. I won't force you. I'm not a demon after all."

Eren's innocent expression and taunting words were making Frost Demon even more angry. He was trying his hardest to control his anger.

Eren could even see that his fists were clenched so tightly that drops of blood were falling to the ground.

All these drops were freezing before they could even touch the floor, eventually shattering into multiple blood shards.

Eren didn't care about Frost Demon's anger and pushed forth.

"As you may know, I don't have much patience. On the count of three, I will crush this rude disciple's neck."
