There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 45: 045, [Invisible Force] (Thanks to the Alliance Hierarchs ‘Teacher Wolf’ and ‘I don’t complain’!)

The mountain wind blew, and Lu Xun was no longer meditating. He had recovered.

As for the other Outer Sect Disciples, they were sprawled out in all positions. That Xu Zhongcheng looked like a crab foaming at the mouth, he wasn’t broken, was he…?

A perfectly fine Outer Sect trial had ended just like that.

But it had to be said, this time, the Outer Sect Disciples really gave it their all. They performed better than the past few batches.

The best among them was certainly Lu Xun, who probably even broke the Outer Sect’s record. But since he wasn’t considered an Outer Sect Disciple, just tagging along for the ride, he wasn’t counted. The Green Pill reward was given to Ji Li instead.

“You did well.” Lu Xun praised her.

Ji Li was instantly on cloud nine, practically floating as she walked.

On the other side, at Evergreen Peak, Shen Yan was laughing heartily. He had bet on Ji Li to win, so he was the winner of this round.

“Worthy to be my chosen disciple!” Shen Yan thought to himself.

As for Yue Heshan… the Charitable Gambling King lived up to his name, destined to lose at every wager, like he was donating money.

However, when Shen Yan looked around at his fellow brothers, he saw thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Having been fellow disciples for many years, how could he not know what was on their minds?

They probably all had designs on taking Ji Li as their disciple!

As previously mentioned, once an Outer Sect Disciple of the Demon Sect was promoted to the Inner Sect, if they were favored by many senior masters, then the disciples would be given the choice, much like a talent audition.

Though Shen Yan was the Sect Master, he was terrible at teaching disciples. Not a single one under him had achieved any significant success. He was stingy, and his techniques had high risk. If one went astray, they could turn into a hairless freak…

On the other hand, the other Peak Masters were generous, skilled at teaching, and their techniques had fewer side effects, seemingly more attractive.

So during the disciples’ selection, he was never the popular one.

Ji Li was someone Shen Yan had long had his eyes on, and he even paid a heavy price—a tiny Flame Essence.

If she was taken, he would grieve for half a year!

Shen Yan fell into deep thought; he needed to come up with some solutions.

However, there was something more pressing to discuss for now.

Shen Yan cleared his throat and solemnly said, “There’s something that should have been discussed after the master returned to the Sect, but it seems the master has no intention of returning in the near future, so we’ll have to start discussing it now.”

Seeing Shen Yan’s serious expression, everyone unanimously said, “Please speak, Sect Master.”

“Do you all still remember the day when Little Junior Uncle jumped off the cliff, the invisible force on Lead Peak?” Shen Yan started.

Upon hearing this, the Peak Masters all became solemn.

On the day Lu Xun went through his trial, he took a stunning leap from Lead Peak. Mao Nanbei wanted to stop him, but was suppressed by an invisible force, unable to move at all.

They had all gathered at the bottom of Lead Peak after sensing this mysterious force, only to see Lu Xun, intact, yet bruised all over.

Shen Yan continued, “Why Little Junior Uncle could survive the cliff jump is his own secret. Since the master was willing to accept him as a disciple, it’s not something we need to worry about.”

“But that force appeared silently, and then disappeared just as silently… what do you all think?” he asked.

Logically, they should have tried to understand this sudden occurrence in the sect as soon as possible, but the master’s attitude was strange. He seemed indifferent to this matter, and even seemed to signal them to be patient.

If so, it was presumably harmless to the Demon Sect.

They initially planned to wait for the master to return to the sect to ask about it, but the master seemed to show no intention of returning at all.

Sima Chuan was the first to speak, “With our abilities, we could not perceive where that force came from. It’s indeed suspicious.”

Luo Wanqiu frowned slightly, “Don’t forget that it was Lead Peak, where the master’s leftover Sword Qi resides!”

“Yes, even the Sword Qi left by the master did not react, which is unusual.” Gongshu Pan, whose face was very dark, said.
