"A group of our scouts found the dead bodies hundreds of miles deep in the forest," Guo said while pointing his head towards another place where other masters sat, "you can ask the leader of the Scout department for more details about this."
A middle aged man with a luxury outfit that seemed to be weaved of golden light sparkling threads stood up. He looked like a dazzling star in a pitch black starless night with his eye-catching clothes.
"My men found dozens of killed Golden Sky disciples at that spot like Guo brother said."
His voice came in such a soft tune, suiting a girl and not a man. William frowned. He did kill the Golden Sky disciples, but he only slain nine and not dozens of them.
Aside from that, it seemed that the leader of the Scout department in the academy had relations with Guo and the Bronze Lizard clan.
"Where is the proof that our kid, William, was the one to do it?"
At this moment, another old man that William never saw before stood up and spoke in an aggressive tone. That man didn't only defend William, but he also called him our kid, not a porter like others did.
"The scouts who found the dead bodies said they saw him lurking around the place," the head of the Scout department wasn't that surprised by the strong stance of that old man.
"Did they see him kill them personally?" The headmaster spoke to stop any unneeded trouble in the meeting.
"That's another point to speak about," old Guo said in a sly tone and such an evil expression painted all over his face. "The scout team also saw a large group of dark clothed disciples belonging to the Golden Sky academy. They also noticed a few of them used the forbidden dark techniques of the notorious dark spirit masters. And brother Sam can confirm this as well."
The one called Sam was the one dressed like a bride, the leader of the Scout department.
Sam simply nodded while Guo added:
"We have to think about this deeply and thoroughly before jumping to conclusions. What facts do we have here? One is that this porter has no power at all to defend himself. Yet he managed to not only escape the deaths inside the forest, but to venture into the far dangerous inner parts of it. Brother Sam's scout team tagged along and saw him walking under the protection of those infamous dirty dark spirit masters before they delivered the two spies, these two girls, to him to bring them back to our academy."
"We ask for justice against the Golden Sky traitors, the agents of dark spirit masters and this traitor!" Sam suddenly shouted before many old men stood up and shouted the same words.
William frowned. He didn't know how this information found its way back to the Bronze Lizard clan and others allying with them, but it did indeed create such a scene. He was sure he scouted that area back in the forest with great attention yet found nothing.
He felt no presence at all. And that wasn't only limited to the area around that battle, but also all the places he visited before coming here.
That meant a higher and far stronger spirit master was there and watched him kill those dirty Golden Sky academy disciples.
William knew old Guo and his allies were twisting what happened, adding more spicy content to what truly happened to doom him. In the middle of all these lies, the fact that he met, fought, killed the Golden Sky disciples stood above all.
And he indeed got Lina and Tina from the Golden Sky disciples, yet the way he did that was totally different from that bullshit told by old Guo, Sam, and others.
Linking things together, William could only explain this as follows: one of the dark spirit strong masters saw what he did and reported this back to Guo. As the Bronze Lizards were traitors in William's eyes, things became easier to explain.
However, what puzzled William was that if there was such a formidable dark spirit master around, why didn't that dude try to attack and kill him and the two girls instead of taking such trouble?
"We need more proof before saying such dangerous words," the old man who stood earlier stood up again and said in a tone filled with pure hatred and great enmity.
William wanted to go and thank that elder at the moment for standing up like this for him. William didn't know his identity, but he could tell how sincere this old man was and how truly he cared for his safety.
"There are the two girls with him," Guo said with a snort, "besides, the scout team saw him taking the storage ring of one of the killed disciples. One of those dark spirit masters gave it personally to him. The ring had the famous emblem of the Rockos clan, a simple way to instigate war and trouble between our academies. Isn't all this enough as a proof for the crimes he committed?"
"We demand justice against the agents of the dark spirit masters and that traitor!" another wave of shouts came. William was now sure of his earlier guess, someone must have seen and watched him during his fight with the Rockos kids.
He now realised what his crime was. And he got to admit, it never crossed his mind that what he did back there at the forest would come and stab him in the back so soon.
Yet even if he had to face such false charges, he didn't regret any of what he did!
Instead of panicking or regretting anything, William kept thinking about this total mess. It all happened because that formidable spirit master spied on everything he did.
But why didn't that man interfere and stop him from killing them back then? Why didn't he move out to kill him and the two girls later on?
