Chapter 583: Let Him Handle It

And thats how we four went through h.e.l.l and untold hards.h.i.+ps before escaping with our lives

The grand hall echoed with Fiend Yangs pained voice, his eyes flickering with fear, And to prevent such disaster from ever happening again, as elders and venerables of Demon Scheming Sect, it is our duty and responsibility to raise a true figure to carry out the sects burdens. To avoid needless casualties and to grow geniuses!

Fiend Yangs speech had pa.s.sion, had feelings, touching Xie Wuyue and Fiend Yin to the core.

While the rest were just bored and nodding off. Not just Venerable s.h.i.+s faction, but even Venerable Bais group was stiff with their eyelids twitching.

Who could blame them? No matter how great a story, at least keep it short, not drone on for hours! [The only reason Xie Wuyue accepted it is because he was there in the last Double Dragon Gathering.]

[But we, old guys, have nothing to do with it. Of course wed grow tired of your prattle.]

Looking outside, [For G.o.ds sake, its evening already! Just how long will this tub of lard drag it on? Till morning?]

Venerable s.h.i.+ had his limits as well and turned to the second elder, That ought to do it. Time to go.

Yep, lets run for it. Venerable s.h.i.+ is brilliant. Second elder said excited, The two mustve finished their job by now and I dont want to hear one more word out of this guy if I can help it.

[Youre not the only one!]

Venerable s.h.i.+ shouted, Fiend Yang, please hold on for a moment. I understand everything. Since this proposal has such great opposition, we will put a pin in it. Seeing as its so late already, let us resume on another day.

Venerable s.h.i.+ is right, we might argue for days here. Itd be best to do our own search before we convene again.

Someone already had his back, and not just his faction, but Venerable Bais side too. All of them were praising him to high heaven

Ugh!

Fiend Yangs chubby face twitched and sank, Why is it always like this? I never even get to make half my point!

Ha-ha-ha, we understand Fiend Yangs feelings and he neednt explain it. Hearing Fiend Yangs retelling felt like reading for ten years.

Venerable s.h.i.+ laughed with a straight face, Sect Leader, forgive my cra.s.sness today and if theres nothing else, let us end the meeting here and discuss the Labor Offices fate another day.

Xie Wuyue eyed him, unable to see through his thinking, That we shall. But dont go ringing the bell as you wish. Calling a meeting is the right of the Sect Leader!

Yes, I will forever remember it. Venerable s.h.i.+ knew Xie Wuyue was just throwing his weight around and simply nodded.

He and his gang left in a hurry, leaving Xie Wuyue unnerved for some reason.

Alone with his allies, Venerable Bai mocked, Seeing Venerable s.h.i.+ so slumped feels so good, ha-ha-ha

Its all thanks to Fiend Yangs dawdle until the old fart couldnt take it. Fiend Yin chuckled and patted Fiend Yangs shoulder.

Fiend Yangs face twitched, When did I dawdle? I am a smooth operator, mind you. He was clearly in the wrong and our mighty righteousness shook some sense into him. And I have many many more lessons to share. I can share them with you if

Oh, no no no, its best if you tell the old fart. Our ears are clogged enough for today. We could never endure any more of your ceaseless drivel.

Fiend Gui stopped Fiend Yang before he got into it, again. The others agreed at once, doing anything they could to stop the fattys mouth from opening.

The fatty was crestfallen, [Cant anyone feel my undying righteous devotion?]

Xie Wuyues frown never left him, Strange, what was Venerable s.h.i.+ up to today? He was not his usual scheeming self.

Maybe he just came to flaunt his might to try and stop us. But look at him, losing it all, ha-ha-ha Fiend Yang mocked.

The others nodded without a care.

Venerable Bai said, The old fart must still think of himself as the boss of the inner sect. Look at him now, ha-ha-ha

While the others jeered at anothers expense like winners, someone entered the hall and bowed, Laborer Yue Ling requests to see Sect Leader and master.

What is up with this girl? Venerable Bai turned to Xie Wuyue.

Xie Wuyue asked, Enter.

Yue Ling rushed deeper and bowed, Sect Leader, master, elites caused a scene at the Labor Office, killing and hurting many. They warned us to not set foot in the elite area or well suffer for it!

What?! They all cried out.

The elites and Labor Office had never once intersected, yet they suddenly went there?

Fiend Yang stomped, Whos the punk with such gall to kill laborers? Has he no care for the rules?

Venerable sirs, its Chi Feng and Yujuan! Yue Ling reported.

All had a realization written on their faces. Yujuan was the seventh elders granddaughter while Chi Feng was second elders.

They were on Venerable s.h.i.+s side and doing his bidding.

Xie Wuyue sighed, A great diversion, using the time High Venerable was in seclusion and we were in the meeting, he had the Labor Office and elites become bitter enemies. Choosing candidates from the Labor Office will be much harder now. The inner sect has the advantage.

Humph, they can choose all they want. Last I heard, its us three leading the elites area. Fiend Yang stuck out his folds.

Fiend Gui shook his head, We cant interfere. And now theres the problem if laborers even want to become elites. Everyone has their pride and after such humiliation, theyd be hard pressed to still want to become elites. That will leave many crawling out of the woodworks to take those spots. We might not have even one laborer willing. They played us!

Blast it all to h.e.l.l, the punks ruined my great plan! Im gonna set them real straight! Fiend Yang flared his nostrils, walking away to dole out punishment.

Xie Wuyue called out, No point. Theyd be sure to have a good reason for doing it. Right, whats their excuse for messing with Labor Office?

Sect Leader, they represented the elite area in testing disciples level. Using the disciples challenging them as an excuse, they slaughtered many. Yue Ling reported.

Xie Wuyue nodded, With no third party around, no matter what we say theyll just twist it in their favor. And with Venerable s.h.i.+ at their backs, it will only do us harm instead. Our only flaw is that they came to test the disciples as representatives of the elite area. Did you three tell them anything of the sort?

Xie Wuyue turned to the fiends to find them shaking their heads, all except the yellow fatty, choosing to look anywhere else but at him.

I knew it was weird, and now they had a good excuse. Xie Wuyue shook his head.

Fiend Yang and Fiend Gui raised an eyebrow and sect leader asked, What did you tell them?

Nothing, just Yujuan was whining about how she wanted to represent us in testing the elite candidates and fulfill her duty as senior sister. I thought she was only playing around and agreed

[Dumba.s.s!]

Everyone sighed.

Fiend Yin turned solemn, With the Labor Office and elite area entangled, we cant touch the two. How do we go about solving this mess?

Wheres Zhuo Fan? Why wasnt he around? Xie Wuyue asked.

Venerable Bai bowed, He was in a rush to handle some matters and hasnt been seen in days.

Then let him handle it when he gets back. Hes better at twisting the rules than Venerable s.h.i.+ ever could.

Xie Wuyue snickered and left the others puzzled.

No matter how big of a genius Zhuo Fan was, he was but a disciple. [He can do what we cant?]

They werent just any elites, but the elites of some old timers.
