Capítulo 98: The Inner Sect Bullies

Chapter 98

(Unedited)

…

Elder Ki has been in the Outer Sect for a very long time and is one of the most respected elders in the sect due to his fairness and also his attitude towards his students. In his stay in the Outer Sect, he has observed the many disciples and has seen a lot of the atrocities in the sect. But he did not pay mind to it as those are trifling things.

However, today is the sect's ranking, it involves the growth of the disciples. Plus their moves were a blatant disregard for the rules of the sect.

At this moment, he did not know why but a sudden surge of Qi suddenly erupted from his body. This might be due to anger or rage as these people disregard the rules, or due to him practicing Qi for a long time and has accumulated a lot of it in his body.

But right at this moment, he could feel his strength growing little by little until he suddenly broke through to the 5th level. And this made him feel confidence brimming in his heart.

He then glared at the elders who were stunned at this scene.

"You dare accuse a junior when everyone saw who really cheated… Are you still considered as an elder of the sect?" Elder Ki scolded the elder who was shouting accusations at Fa Wenling.

When the elders saw that Elder Ki is standing by the disciple's side, they became enraged.

No one knew except for them that this mission was given to them by the sect head. Their mission is to stop the progression of the young female disciple named Fa Wenling. If it could not be done secretly, then they could do it openly.

But of course, they would prefer to do it openly as it would truly have an effect on the prestige of the sect as a whole.

"Elder Ki… I suggest that you do not meddle in this affair." One of the elders said while looking at Elder Ki with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, although you already reached the 5th level, the Inner Sect would still not let you go if you meddle in this."

"Elder Ki, think of the future…"

"If you offend the sect, then you will not be able to stay here anymore."

While these people are trying to dissuade Elder Ki, his expression turned complicated. He knew that he could not fight against anyone in the Inner Sect at this time as his strength has not been consolidated yet.

So with deep regret and an apologetic look in his eyes, Elder Ki reluctantly steps back and walks to the side of Fa Wenling. Although he did not say anything, it is clear that if ever any one of them would make a move on her, he would protect her. This is his bottom line.

Fa Wenling nodded her head at Elder Ki who did not look at her and just stood silently on her side.

Meanwhile, complicated expressions could be seen on the elder in the Outer Sect as they did not know what to say at this point in time.

Suddenly, a shout coming from the crowd awakened a lot of people.

When everyone looks at this scene, they immediately noticed a couple of people fallen to the ground. When the elders checked and discover who those people are, their faces immediately turned pale.

This is because those people are Inner Sect disciple which was sent by the sect master to take care of the master and disciple duo.

But it seems that they suddenly suffered an attack that they did not expect. And now, those elders have an expression of astonishment and fear, as they knew what this means. It is either, Old Chang has recovered from his condition, or someone from the Core Sect is supporting him.

Since those who died are elite of the Inner Sect, they are not that easily killed. But from what it looks like, only those in the 8th stage and above could silently kill those people. So now, this event has turned into a far bigger problem than they thought.

While this commotion is happening and getting bigger, a figure has already silently entered the elevator gate to the Inner Sect.

…

I stripped the clothing of one of the guys I have killed, from his robe, I found some things. First was a strange plain white mask, with only two holes for the eyes. Then there is the badge which seems to have a fingerprint recognition system. And the other things that caught my eye are the few palm-sized books and his mobile phone.

I have already carefully stripped the guy of his own fingerprints and opened his phone through it, and at the same time was able to activate the badge with it.

From his phone, I could tell that this person is someone from the Inner Sect that studies array formation and enchantment. But from the looks of it, this person seems to have a low probability of understanding such art.

I could tell this was due to the marks that he received from his assessment.

But that is not my purpose right now. I needed to enter the Inner Sect and try my best to find a way to enter the Core Sect level from there.

And so, right now, I am standing in front of the elevator thinking if I could successfully operate the elevator using the fingerprint of that guy.

Although I was a bit hesitant, I still push my thumb on the thumbprint scanner.

Then suddenly, the thumbprint scanner turned green.

"Success!" I thought as I could hear the elevator coming up.

As it opens, I did not hesitate to enter.

As I enter, it suddenly prompts me to once again put my thumb on the scanner on the side. Upon pressing the elevator door closes and I was immediately taken to the second underground floor.

From the manual of that guy, I learned that this elevator automatically sets the location where such a disciple could only go. Since this guy is a 5th level Qi practitioner, he could only go to the Inner Sect and the Outer Sect levels.

Suddenly, the elevator door opens and I was assaulted by a rich amount of Qi in the air.

I already wore the mask, and the place looks like a hotel lobby as I walk out of the elevator.

I just nodded at the receptionist who looks at me and also nodded.

I then walk towards the door which showed the entrance sign.

Upon opening the door, I was dragged to a place that looks like a wide underground hall. From what I learned from one of the small books of the person, this is the place they called Gathering Hall. And there are two paths from here. The one on the left are for female Qi Practitioner, and the one on the right are for male Qi Practitioners.

I could see many Inner Sect practitioners interacting with one another in the Gathering Hall as I walk past them towards the path leading to the male area.

The Gathering Hall itself is around 15 meters from the bottom to the ceiling, and the corridors are around 10 meters in height. But what amazed me the most is the amount of Qi in this place.

"It seems that there might be a Qi Generator in this place…" I thought while walking through the corridor.

Suddenly, before I could take another step, a person from behind me called out.

"Hey, you…"

I was a bit stunned but did not turn around as there are many people walking on this path. There are even those who are wearing the same cloak as me and also with a mask on their faces.

Suddenly, the person on my side stopped when that person called out.

"Ho Jiang Lin… It seems that you are trying to run away from me, are you?" the man said with an imposing manner.

The rest of the people in the area just took a glance and then continue walking minding their own business.

Although I did not stop, yet my footsteps slowed down as I look at the reaction of the person near me. I could see that he is gritting his teeth as if he is having a complicated feeling in his heart. From seeing his expression, I could tell that this person is being taken advantage of.

And true to my conjecture, five people suddenly arrive beside him and one of them puts his arms on his neck.

"Why do you treat us like we did not exist? Are trying to say that we are not friends, anymore? I really hate people who do not want me to be their friend…" that young man said.

I did not bother with them as I continue walking. Suddenly, the conversation seems to turn sour as I heard some muffled sound behind my back. It seems that these people began beating the guy.

Then, with a shift of my body, I turn to the side and caught the young man by supporting his back as he was about to fall on me.

I just showed a frown as I glared at the five men who have wide grins on their faces.
