Chapter 3550: Condemning the Sect Master
Chapter 3550: Condemning the Sect Master
“What? Elder Nong and junior brother Chen faced the ambush of Immortal Emperors on the way back?” When they heard that, the core disciples in the hall were all startled, but shortly afterwards, many of them sneered.
“Elder Nong has the stone golem and the Great Spatial Sword Formation. Before these two trump cards, even if there were four Immortal Emperors, they’d have to leave in disappointment, let alone three measly Immortal Emperors.”
“Exactly. In the past, the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset had mobilised a total of four ancestors, yet elder Nong had still managed to slay one of them forcefully in the end.”
“That time, if there had not been another expert who came to provide help, the three other Immortal Emperors would have died at elder Nong’s hands as well. There would have been no need for senior daemon flower’s help either.”
......
…
None of the core disciples thought too much about this, as elder Nong already possessed even more glorious achievements in battle. Only the sect master, Chen Shuzhi, had a sunken face. However, that was obviously interpreted by everyone else as anger since elder Nong was attacked.
“The ancestors of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset were all early Immortal Emperors. Meanwhile, out of the three Immortal Emperors that intercepted me and Chen Shuzhi today, two of them were Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors, while the last one was a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor,” elder Nong said slowly. His voice was extremely stern.
As soon as elder Nong said that, there was a great gasp in the hall. Everyone stared at elder Nong in shock as their hearts surged.
Elder Nong continued, “The attempt on Chen Shuzhi and my life this time was a planned operation. The three Immortal Emperors were hired. Someone had offered them a bountiful reward that they could not turn down to kill Chen Shuzhi and me.”
The core disciples in the hall looked at one another. Chen Shuzhi looked at elder Nong and asked sternly, “Looks like destroying the four organisations has already led to the discontent of a few mysterious organisations. They’re clearly targeting our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Does elder Nong know exactly which organisation hired the three Immortal Emperors?”
“On top of that, how did you escape two Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors and a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor? Don’t tell me elder Nong’s stone golem and Great Spatial Sword Formation is capable of handling experts like that?”
Chen Shuzhi stared at elder Nong brightly.
Elder Nong shook his head and said, “The stone golem and Great Spatial Sword Formation obviously can’t deal with such experts. To be honest, my two trump cards were futile before them. But fortunately, we received the assistance of a mysterious expert, which was why Chen Shifang and I managed to escape.”
Elder Nong paushed. He slowly turned towards Chen Shuzhi and said emotionlessly, “As for exactly which organisation, I just happen to have found some clues.”
“What? Elder Nong has actually found some clues?” Chen Shuzhi was surprised at first before becoming slightly joyful. “That’s fantastic. It’s all fine as long as we have clues. That way, at least we won’t be left in the dark, clueless about everything. May I ask what the clues…”
“The clues are right here. The memory crystal has recorded everything. I’ve already made several copies of this memory crystal now, so please take a look.” Several dozen memory crystals appeared in elder Nong’s hand. He passed them to the people present one by one.
Chen Shifang and Jian Chen obviously received a copy as well. Chen Shifang was not aware of the contents of the memory crystal, so he checked it doubtfully after receiving one.
Jian Chen did the same, sending the senses of his soul into it.
“Hmm? Isn’t this the sect master?”
“How dare he! Who is this man in black? How dare he sit in the sect master’s position?”
“This seems to be the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens…”
......
…
As soon as they checked the memory crystals, many of the core disciples present called out. Their faces were all filled with shock and disbelief, but they dismissed their emotions very soon and began observing carefully.
Chen Shuzhi saw the contents of the memory crystal as well. His face immediately darkened as he began to tremble uncontrollably on the sect master’s throne.
The memory crystal possessed a perfect recording of his conversation with the middle-aged man in black in the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens that day. Even their facial expressions and fluctuations in emotions were captured perfectly.
What truly brought Chen Shuzhi chills was from the angle of the recording, the person who recorded it was clearly in one of the corners of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens. They had moved around multiple times too, yet the artifact spirit of the Divine Hall of Violet Heavens and the middle-aged man in black had failed to sense anything at all.
Immediately, Chen Shuzhi’s heart began to thump uncontrollably. At that moment, he felt unsettled like never before as he sat in the sect master’s position. He was filled with unease.
Of course, he showed none of it. He continued to maintain his composure. His face was stern.
Very soon, everyone finished viewing the contents of the memory crystal. For a moment, everyone looked towards Chen Shuzhi. Many of the core disciples’ eyes were filled with undisguised and extreme anger.
Bang!
Chen Shifang shattered the chair that he sat on with a slam of his hand. He immediately stood up and stared at Chen Shuzhi sharply with undisguised fury and killing intent. “After all this time, the three Immortal Emperors who attacked us halfway were actually hired by your great uncle. You stand in the position of sect master, yet your objective is not to lead the sect towards glory, but to make the sect fall into decline until it’s destroyed. Chen Shuzhi you traitor, you wretch…”
“Sect master, which organisation do you belong to exactly?”
“You’ve gone too far. Chen Shuzhi, you’d actually sacrifice the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens just to help your organization gain some status…”
“Chen Shuzhi, you traitor. You’re not worthy of being our sect master at all.”
“No wonder, no wonder you constantly struck up a compromise and submitted to the oppression of external organisations, without any consideration of the sect’s interests. In the past, you even accepted such over-the-top demands from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. So your true intention was to lead the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens on a constant decline.”
“Senior brothers, it’s still too early for us to make a decision. This is just a memory crystal. It can’t prove anything. The contents must be forged…”
