Chapter 293: Chapter 293: I will give you a reason
Eren rushed towards the central Hall where Feng Yu was supposed to be staying. However, the moment he reached near the door, he heard footsteps coming from the other side.
Soon, he saw the Disciples, many of them being the Core disciples of the Sect. Their eyes were filled with madness, as if they had truly been manipulated.
It didn't just look like manipulation but also something more at play.
"You killed the Sect Master! You are a puppet of the Southern Continent!" One of the Core Disciples said.
Hearing his words, Eren was sure that he didn't actually know that he was a spy from the Southern Continent. It was just a story that the Elders told them to make them even more radicalized.
"Is that what you believe?" Eren asked, stopping in front of the door. "Or is that what the ones behind you want you to believe?"
"You need to die for betraying the Sect Master!" The Core Disciple stated fiercely, not wanting to hear a single word from Eren.
Instead, he ran towards Eren, brandishing his sword. It was as if he had no concept of fear anymore, even forgetting that he was attacking the person that he claimed to be strong enough to kill the Sect Master.
Eren watched the disciples run towards him while the Leader of the Guards and the other Great Elders simply watched from a distance, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
Although he couldn't see the Ancestral Elders, he could also feel their gazes. They had brought him at a crossroad where no matter what he did, he had to go against the entire sect.
"If this is what you want, then this is definitely what I'll give you." Eren raised his right hand, the finger on his ring shining brightly.
Seeing his movements, the Ancestral Elders outside the Palace smirked. He had fallen into their trap. So what if he had the ring. As long as he killed the core disciples, they had justification.
They couldn't help but feel that there was some truth to his words.
They found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one side were the Ancestral Elders that had defined an era with their strength. On the other side was Eren, the person that was said to be a demon who loved eating the flesh of people he killed.
"We will not interfere in the matter," One of the Great Elders said, taking a step back. It was better for them to be neutral in a battle between two demons.
The other Great Elders also said the same thing, coming to a realization that Eren was not as simple to deal with as they had thought. He had not fallen for their trap.
Soon, Eren stepped out of the Palace that was the safe ground for him.
Inside the Palace, the formations that he could control were the strongest. However, outside, they were insignificant.
Still, he didn't show even the slightest hesitation as he stepped out the threshold, as if he had had enough.
"I thought you would be hiding inside the Palace for an eternity. Are you finally planning to show yourself?" In the distance, an Ancestral Elder exclaimed while pushing aside a disciple who had fallen from the sky.
"What can I do? You want an excuse, so I thought I will come and give you an excuse myself," Eren said, already being in a bad mood.
"Where are the two leaders of your pack?" he asked observing the surroundings to see that two Ancestral Elders were missing.
One of them was the woman who was supposed to become the next sect master while the other was the one who had contacted Mist.
"They don't need to come. We are enough to deal with a Traitor who backstabbed our Sect Master!" The Ancestral Elder said as the others appeared behind Eren, blocking his path back inside the Palace.
