My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The ones who were suppressed
The dark haired man smiled, gazing at the old man who was on his knees in front of Eren.
It wasn’t often that he got to see a Great Elder on their knees in front of an Elder. He paid quite a lot of attention to Eren, as if he was able to see the thin layer of a powerful aura around the young man’s body.
“How interesting…” he said, his eyes gazing at Eren as if trying to look in the depths of his soul.
Eren felt as if a poisonous snake was looking at him.
“He is strong,” Yelen told Eren, who was slightly surprised.
Even when facing the Great Elders, Yelen hadn’t called anyone dangerous. This was the first time he heard her say something like that.
‘I can see that,’ Eren told Yelen, using his thoughts.
He wasn’t here to fight anyone in the first place, but the identity of this man and the woman who came before him made Eren have a headache.
He didn’t know who these people were. Were they the Ancestral Elders of the Great Demon Sect? If that was the case, then it was quite problematic for his goal.
The Ancestral Elders of the Sect were the Great Elders of the previous batch who worked with Feng Yu’s father. There were only a few lines mentioning them in the novel, but none of them were ever introduced.
When her father was killed, Feng Yu started developing distrust towards everyone as many Great Elders who had worked for her father started showing how selfish they were.
There were many great elders at that time who tried to suppress Feng Yu, trying to take the throne of the sect master. They believed that the throne belonged to them.
It was the most chaotic time for the Great Demon Sect, with a lot of turbulence. There were even a few attempts to kill Feng Yu, who managed to survive.
It was also the time when Feng Yu changed. She disappeared for a few months. No one knew where she had gone, but when she returned, rivers of blood flew through the Great Demon Sect.
The walls of the Royal Palace were painted red with the blood of the traitors.
Feng Yu killed all the Great Elders who had shown hostility openly. As for the Great Elders who didn’t openly try to harm her, she forced them to enter seclusion.
Those Elders became known as the Ancestral Elders who never showed their face in the open. They weren’t allowed to teach anyone or accept any disciples.
Every year, they were given resources for their cultivation, but that was all. They weren’t even allowed to leave the specific region assigned to them.
That was when a new era of the Great Demon Sect began… The era of the Overlord of the Eastern Continent.
The two people who appeared here were stronger than the Great Elders that he had seen before.
He had a feeling that even if Zia and Xiu Ying worked together, they couldn’t defeat this dark haired man. As for the woman who left before… She was even stronger than this man.
With that strength, they could only be the Ancestral Elders. It seemed as if the news of Feng Yu’s disappearance had also reached these sleeping dragons. ϺᏙԼΞМҎƳᎡ.ƇⵔМ
For the first time since that bloody night, they had left the seclusion to check themselves.
Eren didn’t know how many of them there were, but these people were the biggest obstruction in his path of taking the Sect’s throne.
“That little girl really recruited some interesting people,” the dark haired man casually said as he walked past Eren.
Soon enough, he also disappeared from the hallway, entering the battle scene.
“To think that even those old fossils will start showing themselves,” Zia released the old man’s wrist. Now that these people had shown up, it wasn’t good to create too much commotion.
The old man also realized it. He kept the knife back and stood up. Although he glared at Eren, he didn’t attack him. He walked back, his expressions grim.
Eren could see that all the Great Elders had gone silent. Silently, they returned to the main hall as well. With the appearance of those two people, order had returned to the place.
“Were they the Ancestral Elders?” Eren asked Zia when only they were left in the long hallway.
“You know about them? Did Ying tell you?” Zia asked. Not many people other than the Great Elders knew about their existence after all.
Even she had forgotten about their existence as they hadn’t shown themselves in a long time.
“It seems I was right.” Eren didn’t reply to her question. Instead, her question was enough to answer him. He was right.
The thing that was only mentioned in a few fleeting lines in the web novel had come to life in front of his eyes.
Eren didn’t know how many Ancestral Elders were in the sect. He was sure the number was more than two at least. However, only two of them had shown up.
He didn’t know if the others really had no interest in coming out of seclusion or if they were scared, worried that it might be a trap laid by Feng Yu to see if they would break her rules.
His mind was filled with questions as he walked towards the grant hall where the battle is said to have taken place. Zia accompanied him, walking right next to him.
She truly looked concerned for his safety, hence maintaining a close proximity with him.
“I didn’t know my disciple cared so much for me,” Eren smiled, realizing her concerns.
Zia appeared to have started opening her to her position. It was as if she was slowly forgetting the age difference with time, accepting him as her master.
“You still have to teach me a lot of things,” Zia rolled her eyes.
She said an entire sentence properly, but there was only one word that she whispered at the end of the sentence, making it inaudible.
“Master.”
