I've Been AFK for Ten Million Years-Chapter 1081: The Second Ancestor’s Dilemma
"Disciple Qinglian Jiao requests an audience!"
At this moment, outside the main hall, a deep voice rang out. It was the voice of none other than Qinglian Jiao, the head of the Green Lotus Institute. Hearing Qinglian Jiao’s voice, the expressions of the three elders remained indifferent.
The three seemed to know all along.
That Qinglian Jiao would come!
"Enter!"
The deep voice of the Third Elder echoed. Moments later, with a wave of his hand, the doors opened, revealing a figure outside the hall. It was indeed Qinglian Jiao, her face equally calm at this moment.
"Thank you, esteemed elders!"
With a slight bow, Qinglian Jiao entered the hall. The three elders of Qingyu were second only to the one in control. In Qingyu, these elders held very high status, and almost all matters of Qingyu were under their control.
As for the one in control of Qingyu,
they paid no heed to mundane matters. There were even rumors that the three elders were peers from the same era as the one in control, which is why the latter entrusted everything to the elders with such confidence.
"Qinglian Jiao, what brings you here?"
From the main seat, the Third Elder glanced at Qinglian Jiao, asking indifferently.
"Reporting to the esteemed elders, I have come today because of the demise of our Green Lotus Institute’s protector!"
Qinglian Jiao took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
A protector, although part of the Green Lotus Institute, was now dead. Even for Qinglian Jiao, the pressure was immense. She knew very well that if the elders chose to punish Ren Changsheng, it would be a life-or-death situation for him!
But she is determined to protect Ren Changsheng.
Even if the elders were to disregard her, she would still seek the one in control to shield Ren Changsheng.
Even if Ren Changsheng doesn’t participate in the Gate of Control this time, as long as he remains alive, that so-called Gate of Control becomes irrelevant. With Ren Changsheng’s talent, given time, at worst, he would be an elder-level powerhouse.
He might even become a new controller.
"Speak!"
The Second Elder said coldly.
"Reporting to the esteemed elders, yesterday at my Green Lotus Institute, there was an incident involving a duel between disciples..."
Qinglian Jiao truthfully reported the incident to the elders. She was well aware that these elders were second only to the controller in Qingyu, and nothing within Qingyu could be hidden from them.
At this moment.
There’s no need to hide it!
"Ren Changsheng?"
The three elders, after listening, paused for a moment, Ren Changsheng? It was a name they were hearing for the first time, and this disciple’s cultivation was only at the Supreme Fifth Level, yet he killed a Space Supreme of the Seventh Level? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
That’s insane, isn’t it?
"Is what you’re saying true?"
The Third Elder looked at Qinglian Jiao with some skepticism. If it weren’t Qinglian Jiao who reported it, they would have dismissed it outright. A mere Supreme Fifth Level junior killing a Seventh Level Space Supreme?
Is that possible?
Absolutely impossible!
No one would believe such a thing!
Because in the Origin World, nothing like this has ever happened. Never mind a Supreme Seventh Level, even a Supreme Sixth Level would not be a match for a Supreme Seventh Level.
Because the gap between Supreme Seventh Level and Supreme Sixth Level,
is immense.
"Of course, it is true!"
Qinglian Jiao said in a low tone. In her heart, she also could hardly believe it, but she had witnessed it with her own eyes that day; Ren Changsheng truly killed Protector Hu in public.
The entire Green Lotus Institute witnessed it.
"This is impossible!"
The Second Elder stood up directly, his expression somewhat unsightly. A mere Supreme Fifth Level ant, killing a Seventh Level Space Supreme? To him, it was an affront to his intelligence.
That protector.
Was brought into Qingyu by him, as he had good potential and hope of advancing to Supreme Eighth Level. But now, he was killed by a Fifth Level Supreme; doesn’t that imply he misjudged the person?
"Second Elder, every word I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to inquire among the disciples of the Green Lotus Institute. They all witnessed the duel yesterday!"
Qinglian Jiao said respectfully.
"Hmph!"
The Second Elder snorted coldly and sat down. To inquire? Absolutely unnecessary. Even though he didn’t believe it in his heart, the Green Lotus Institute certainly wouldn’t come and deceive him with lies!
Because there’s no need for that.
"Second Brother, since this event has happened, it must be true!"
The First Elder’s deep voice sounded.
"And so what if it’s true? We have a clear rule in Qingyu: if disciples above Supreme Sixth Level engage in combat, their cultivation will be stripped, and they will be expelled from Qingyu. Ren Changsheng killed a Seventh Level Space Supreme; he must be punished!"
The Second Elder said coldly.
In his eyes.
Coldness flickered!
"What?"
Qinglian Jiao’s face sank a few shades; the Second Elder, after all, wanted to pursue the matter. She had known before coming here that the Second Elder would surely be difficult because Protector Hu was his person.
Now he’s dead.
Of course, the Second Elder wouldn’t let it go!
A Space Supreme, indeed. One could say that Protector Hu’s achievement of this status definitely wasn’t unrelated to the Second Elder behind him; otherwise, how could reaching the Seventh Level Supreme be so easy?
"This..."
The brows of the First and Third Elders furrowed.
Protector Hu was dead.
And Qinglian Jiao personally reported it; a Supreme Fifth Level killing a Supreme Seventh Level, such talent was undeniable. If not killed, he would undoubtedly become a strong new force for Qingyu!
"Reporting to the Second Elder, Ren Changsheng’s cultivation is only Supreme Fifth Level. According to Qingyu’s rules, fighting among those above Supreme Sixth Level counts as internal conflict. Thus, at most, it was Protector Hu oppressing Ren Changsheng, not internal conflict!"
At this moment.
Qinglian Jiao stepped forward, speaking solemnly.
"Oppression?"
The Second Elder’s face turned incredibly ugly, oppression? Doesn’t that imply he failed in his guidance, allowing Protector Hu to oppress an ant of mere Supreme Fifth Level cultivation, and ultimately ended up dead?
"Qinglian Jiao, what you say is reasonable!"
The First and Third Elders nodded. Qinglian Jiao’s reasoning was logical; the rules were for those above Supreme Sixth Level, and Ren Changsheng’s cultivation was only Supreme Fifth Level, which wasn’t within the rule’s restrictions!
"I don’t believe this Ren Changsheng’s cultivation is at the Supreme Fifth Level. Quickly send the message, summon Ren Changsheng!"
The Second Elder said coldly.
Supreme Fifth Level?
He didn’t believe it!
He didn’t believe that a mere Supreme Fifth Level ant could kill a Seventh Level Space Supreme. In the Origin World, such a feat was practically impossible; the gap between the two was simply too vast.
"Summon Ren Changsheng?"
Qinglian Jiao’s face darkened.
The Second Elder was going to continue making things difficult for Ren Changsheng?
