My Beautiful Disciples, I’m really not the Main Character!Chapter 268: Chapter 268: A solution worse than the problem
Eren stopped in his tracks. The Ancestral Elders were already troublesome, but now Mist was also getting involved?
His knowledge about Mist was quite limited as he hadn’t reached the part about her in the novel. She was only mentioned a few times, especially when talking about the Overlords or the past of Devourer.
He had also tried to gather more information about her when he was in the Southern Continent, but not much was available. All he came to find out was that Mist rarely showed herself to the outside world.
Only after returning to the Eastern Continent did he come to learn that not long after he escaped from the Ocean, Mist appeared to stop the Sea Dragon’s wrathful onslaught.
At that time, he was quite pleased as two of his potential enemies were keeping themselves busy. He never expected that he might come across her so soon.
He didn’t want to have much interaction with her until he was strong enough to protect himself. However, for some reason, he came across Mist’s daughter in the Eastern Continent and now she herself was coming to the Great Demon Sect?
The only significant thing he knew about her was that she was someone who had sent Ren Necroline to this Sect.
He hadn’t personally seen her as he didn’t have Ren’s memory from his time with her, but he knew that if she came, it was going to be the worst possible thing for him.
It was even worse that people’s personality was different in reality than it used to be in what he read. First, it was Ye Liang. Then it was Yu Lin and the others. He wasn’t sure if Mist had her original personality or something was strange with her as well.
“Why is an Ancestral Elder contacting her and trying to expose our weakness?” he asked Yelen, finding it to be quite strange.
Even if the Ancestral Elder was worried about his future now that the Eastern Continent didn’t have an Overlord, but why Mist? Out of the other three Overlords, Mist had the most conflict with the Eastern Continent.
The people of the Southern Continent also hated the people from the Eastern Continent.
“Even if that Ancestral Elder wanted to betray the Eastern Continent to maintain his own safety, shouldn’t he have contacted the Holy Empire in the West or even the Necromancer Tower in the North?”
“I don’t know either.”
Yelen could only tell what she heard or spoke. She didn’t understand what was going on in that person’s mind as he kept to himself. Until he contacted Mist, he didn’t expect him to do that either.
“Which Ancestral Elder was it?” Eren asked as he continued walking towards the main hall. He had to talk with Feng Yu about this.
“The one known as Ancestral Elder Yang,” Yelen answered, keeping up with Eren.
“It’s him?” Eren was taken aback at Yelen’s words. Even amongst the Ancestral Elders, that man appeared to be one of the leaders. He was also the one that Eren found the most strange.
When the Great Elder had attacked him in the hallway, Ancestral Elder Jia didn’t even spare a second glance at him. For her, they were beneath her attention. However, Yang was different.
Even though he should have appeared like an ordinary insignificant person, that man seemed to pay quite an attention to him. He even spoke a few words. ᎷƲᏞΞϺРႸᏒ.ϲՕᎷ
Even when he used the Ring to kill an Ancestral Elder, Ancestral Elder Yang didn’t show much hostility. If anything, he looked like he had grown interested in what he found to be an interesting toy.
On one hand, he was siding with Jia. On the other hand, he was calling Mist here? None of his actions made sense as they were all very contradictory. It was as if he was playing both sides for some reason.
“Did you notice any other strength thing? Did he contact any other Overlords?” Eren asked, only for Yelen to shake her head.
She told him that after contacting Mist, the man simply went to sleep without a single care in the world.
After explaining the actions of Ancestral Elder Yang, Yelen suggested, “I think we shouldn’t stay here. You should leave this sinking ship. I can open the portal to the Spirit Realm.”
“If only I could.” Eren scratched the back of his head, sighing.
When he heard about Mist’s arrival, the first thought in his mind was also about running away.
He was sure that Mist had already heard the name of the new Sect Master.
She probably already knew that the spy she had planted became the sect master, which was one of the reasons she was coming, other than to personally confirm if Feng Yu was actually dead.
It was only a matter of time before Mist and Feng Yu came across each other and his identity was exposed.
Until that happened, he had to think of a possible way out without completely ruining the path of a lover or exposing his real identity as the true enemy of the Overlords.
His identity as a spy alone was troublesome but his real identity was even worse. No matter which of his identities was exposed, he was going to completely fall apart with Feng Yu and lose the path of lover forever.
After a brief period of silence, he took a deep breath and said, “We need to find a way to stop Mist from coming.”
“Can we stop her?” Yelen asked, finding it hard to believe. No matter what, Mist was an Overlord on the same level as Feng Yu.
Eren let out a tired right, rubbing the back of his neck. “I have a way, but it might even be worse than the situation we are currently in.”
“What solution?” Yelen asked, wondering what could help Eren delay Mist. If he called it worse, she could only imagine what it might be.
“I am giving you the coordinates. Connect a portal to that place.”
He brought out a piece of paper and wrote something on it before handing it over to Yelen.
“This isn’t… Isn’t this…?” Yelen looked at the coordinates which didn’t lead to any place in the Eastern Continent at all. It didn’t lead to the Spirit Realm either.
