The Steward Demonic Emperor

Proofreader: Papatonks

"Why?"

High Venerable squinted at Ren Xiaoyun, "As the sect leader of Heaven Trailing Sect, the head of the empire's three guardian sects, how could you side with this stubborn disciple and enter my sect to do this despicable thing?"

Ren Xiaoyun waved his hand in disdain, "Oh no, no, no, High Venerable you misunderstand. That stubborn disciple is a great Sect Leader. I only accepted Sect Leader's invitation to help him settle the chaos."

"What chaos…"

Elder Yuan soon realized as he watched the two's devious grins, "I see. I was wondering how the Heaven Trailing Sect would dare meddle with the Demon Scheming Sect unafraid of Double Dragon Manor. Heaven Trailing Sect, you two already have your excuse ready. Using settling the chaos to eliminate the opposition and put him on his seat."

Grinning, Ren Xiaoyun nodded, "High Venerable sure is wise, figuring out so fast. But you shouldn't say it. After all we're righteous cultivators and labeling us like this would hurt our name."

"Humph, yeah, Heaven Trailing Sect is mighty righteous."

Elder Yuan squinted and gnashed his teeth, turning to Xie Wuyue, "You consorted with another sect to shame your ancestors and master. Do you really think you have any right to be a Sect Leader?"

"Consorting? Didn't Zhuo Fan do the same by bringing outsiders to steal my power? Why did you still take his side and spit on me?"

"Zhuo Fan brought his own men and did not take the sect. But you had Heaven Trailing Sect come here. Just what did you have to pay for this?" Elder Yuan roared.

Xie Wuyue clenched his fists but did not speak.

Ren Xiaoyun smiled, "I'll answer that. To help Sect Leader Xie regain his seat, my Heaven Trailing Sect would offer its support for the low price of five thousand sacred stones. The Mystical Heaven Sect didn't want anything, happy with just getting revenge by killing all that ruined his sect."

"What?!"

Elder Yuan shook, looking at Xie Wuyue in disbelief, "You actually gave half of the rewards of Double Dragon Gathering to an outsider and even brought our enemy to kill us?"

As they talked, there were shouts and battle cries coming from outside. Elder Yuan was furious.

He knew the sect had a traitor working with the outsiders to lead to the ruin of the sect. It might never recover from this.

Xie Wuyue fell silent, but then he spoke coldly, "If the sect isn't mine, what use do I have for it? Why would I let anyone who won't obey me live?"

"Why you little…"

Pointing a shaking finger at Xie Wuyue, Elder Yuan went red from anger as he barked, "You're just like Tianyu's emperor! Xie Wuyue, you were never worthy to be a Sect Leader. You're a traitor to the Demon Scheming Sect and I will remove you in the name of our ancestors!"

Elder Yuan charged at Xie Wuyue, the power he released pushing Xie Wuyue back.

He never thought that as a peak Ethereal Stage expert, he would be unable to resist High Venerable's pressure.

But then Ren Xiaoyun laughed and blocked his palm, "Ha-ha-ha, High Venerable, aren't you looking down on me by killing someone with me here? You do know we're here to help Sect Leader Xie settle the chaos. If the Sect Leader died, how could our excuse stand? You'd go and get Double Dragon Manor to fight us. Ha-ha-ha, that just won't do."

"Ren Xiaoyun, screw off, or today is your funeral!" Elder Yuan roared.

Ren Xiaoyun smiled, "Yuan Xinggang, you must be so full of yourself. As far as I know, you're nothing but a peak Ethereal Stage expert, while I'm in the 2nd layer of Soul Harmony Stage. You won't kill me even if you want to!"

The two's attacks clashed.

Bam!

A fierce sound echoed and Elder Yuan was pushed back five steps while Ren Xiaoyun ten steps.

[How is this possible?]

Ren Xiaoyun looked at him in disbelief while crying out, "You're in the Soul Harmony Stage?"

"What?!"

Xie Wuyue was shocked and perplexed, "No way, that's impossible. Master told me his constitution is lacking and won't go beyond the Ethereal Stage in his life. How can he be in the Soul Harmony Stage?"

With a smile of disdain, earthen dragon scales appeared on Elder Yuan's hands, "It was my blessing to meet Zhuo Fan, giving me a 10th grade pill, Heaven Reaching Pill to change my constitution and break through. My soul is also that of an earth dragon. Once uniting it with my body, I'll be as strong as the earth. I might be in the 1st layer, but to deal with a 3rd layer isn't a problem, that goes double for the 2nd layer."

"Curses! How could this happen? I underestimated you, Demon Scheming Sect's High Venerable!" Ren Xiaoyun turned searious and unleashed all his power, no longer looking down on him.

Xie Wuyue could hardly believe it as he asked, "Is that why you sided with Zhuo Fan, because he helped you?"

"Humph, fool, I've always been impartial. You know that very well."

Elder Yuan mocked him, "You only asked to come up with an excuse for Zhuo Fan taking the seat as a result of siding with him, making you feel that being the Sect Leader is justly. But I already told you, Xie Wuyue, you'll never amount to what Zhuo Fan is! He replaced you and brought back Dao. For trying to take back the Sect Leader position in betrayal, you had incurred heaven's wrath!"

Xie Wuyue's eyes were bloodshot from anger as he bellowed, "Enough! Why do you keep trusting an outsider but not your own disciple? You must die for this!"

"Humph, we'll just see who goes first!" Elder Yuan shouted and shot for Xie Wuyue, but Ren Xiaoyun blocked him.

Bang~

Powerful shockwaves spread, making even the 9th grade array shake from how much power was unleashed.

Elder Yuan and Ren Xiaoyun were tangled up for now, unable to make a winner clear so soon. Xie Wuyue looked from the side, feeling like not even Sect Leader Ren could keep him safe and wanted to slip away.

But Elder Yuan shouted, "Impermanence Five, grab that degenerate disciple!"

"Yes, sir!"

Impermanence Five shouted and released their Vicissitude Domain, trapping Xie Wuyue as countless green lights wrapped around him.

[Curses!]

Xie Wuyue hurriedly made a sign, calling for a flood dragon, his soul.

It was not up to earth dragon soul's standard, but it was still a top beast soul. The Impermanence Five would have a hard time for a while.

In this room, Elder Yuan and Impermanence Five were fighting with Heaven Trailing Sect's Sect Leader and a traitor. Outside it, fires and chaos reigned as bodies piled up.

Heaven Trailing Sect was a middle-three sect, with tons of experts, adding to that Mystical Heaven Sect hell-bent on revenge and Venerable Shi working behind the scenes, Venerable Bai's faction was caught unprepared.

Under the sudden onslaught, they had no power to fight back, only dying one after the other, with a wail or a pleading for mercy.

The best in the sect, High Venerable, was now caught up in a fight with Ren Xiaoyun. The second venerable, Venerable Shi, was a traitor, joining their killing. Who could save them now?

At the brink of despair, they could only breathe their lives in this hell.

"Curses, why is there an enemy attack? Why hasn't the sect array given a sign- agh!"

"What's going on? Why are there so many enemies…"

"Save me! Help! What- ugh!"

…

Wails reigned as Sect Leader Xuan led the charge in a crazed assault, "Kill them with joy, kill them good! Let them pay for ruining Mystical Heaven Sect, for killing my son! I won't let any of them escape! Kill them to the last man, ha-ha-ha!"

Venerable Shi was silent at the side, just fiddling with his beard.

The elders and venerables behind him sighed. They were from the inner sect and against the Labor Office, but they were from the same sect.

Seeing their own people slaughtered filled them with pain…

"Sect Leader Xuan is enjoying his revenge so why are you here to watch this hellish brutality?"

A cold voice reached Venerable Shi's ear, "Moreover, the dead are all part of your sect. Even if you have differences, they're on the same side. Shouldn't you at least not want to see the disciple fall like this?"

Venerable Shi shook and looked back and shouted, "Y-you?"
