Chapter 2261: Returning to Admit Guilt
As Bu Tun’s disciples elaborated in detail, Chai Ren’s expression instantly froze.
And the previously arrogant Junior Brother Bian was dumbfounded, could it be so significant?
Meanwhile, the Chai family woman shouted loudly, "What are you doing, why didn’t you say this earlier?"
Bu Tun’s disciple wanted to say, your grandfather, the Fifth Sect Master, wouldn’t let me finish speaking.
At this moment, Junior Brother Bian returned to his senses, reassuring himself, "It’s not a big deal, what does it matter if you obtain the unparalleled inheritance of a Demon? The Great Gate Master might not even care; after all, it’s just a damn Demon."
Of course, he was very afraid, but it’s not yet certain if the Great Gate Master would pay attention.
Besides Bu Tun, no one knew what the so-called unparalleled inheritance was.
Yet, as soon as Junior Brother Bian spoke... swish!
A figure suddenly appeared from the distant space folding, and it was precisely Elder Bu Tun who had left three days ago.
He returned just at this moment.
Upon his arrival, Bu Tun saw Chai Ren and the others, and couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Fifth Sect Master, what are you doing here?"
After a pause, Bu Tun seemed to have remembered something, and continued to speak...
"Oh, right, you brought Ying Sanmeng to be imprisoned, and I have good news to tell the Fifth Sect Master."
"A Black Scale Demon obtained unparalleled inheritance..."
"After judgment by the Great Gate Master, the bloodline of this Demon is extremely pure with an archaic attribute, and it might be related to the secrets at the center of Divine Demon Island. I was specifically instructed to bring the Black Scale Demon back to the sect for bloodline testing."
"Fifth Sect Master, why does your face suddenly look so awful?"
While speaking, Bu Tun suddenly noticed Chai Ren’s face had become extremely grim, and was even turning pale.
What’s happening?
Before Bu Tun could react... slap!
Chai Ren suddenly slapped Junior Brother Bian hard across the face, then madly shouted, "Elder Bu Tun, leave this scoundrel to your disposal, I’m going to see the Great Gate Master... to admit my guilt with self-punishment!"
Once he finished speaking, Chai Ren immediately rolled up his nearby elderly companion and granddaughter, and disappeared into the space channel without a trace.
Bu Tun was left standing in place, blinking in confusion, looking at his disciple, and then pointing at Junior Brother Bian lying on the ground spitting blood, blankly asking, "What happened here?"
Fifth Sect Master slapped his own disciple, and talked about admitting guilt with self-punishment, what is all this nonsense?
Bu Tun’s disciple’s mouth twitched, quickly explaining everything that had just happened.
Instantly, Bu Tun’s face turned from bright to dark, and from dark to black...
Finally, he frantically pointed at Junior Brother Bian shouting, "Break his arms and legs for me, then drag him before the Great Gate Master."
Not long after, Junior Brother Bian’s screams pierced the sky, reaching extreme misery.
He really wanted to ask: Why treat me like this? Why is my killing of a little demon so crucial?
Why am I so unlucky?
In short, Junior Brother Bian’s limbs were broken, and then Elder Bu Tun carried him away.
Of course, before leaving, Bu Tun confirmed the life and death of the Black Scale Demon.
He specifically dispatched demons like War Tiger and other strong ones to enter the prison... to see the person alive, or see the body dead!
Unfortunately, neither person nor corpse could be found.
Under questioning from War Tiger and other strong demons, earlier demons working in the prison stated they only saw a demon shadow blasted inside, and the demon shadow slammed directly into the center of the prison.
In other words, it entered into the prisoners’ activity area.
The prison is divided into two parts; the outer circle is where demons work, while the inner circle has a barrier...
Once prisoners enter, they must go into this barrier.
Only by entering the barrier can their shackles automatically be released, preventing any risk of breaking through in the outer circle.
Indeed: inside the barrier is the very center of Divine Demon Island; once prisoners enter, they absolutely cannot leave the barrier.
The Black Scale Demon was directly blasted into the barrier by Junior Brother Bian, and no demons dare to enter.
If they dare, they’ll be torn to pieces by prisoners inside, just like those so-called sacrifices.
So, if we want to confirm whether the Black Scale Demon is dead or alive, we can only ask the prisoners inside, and there are only two methods.
First, send a demon inside to take a look and see if they can return.
Second, the Great Gate Master summons prisoners outside using a Transmission Stone to ask, just like Pei Kuang summoning Ba Zhun.
Obviously, the first approach is unreliable.
Thus, only the second approach remains, but why would prisoners listen to Cangyu Sect?
Even if summoned outside, they cannot stay too long; otherwise, they’ll be killed by the prison guardians like Ba Zhun.
Since they have no hope of leaving, why should they listen?
Indeed, Cangyu Sect pledges to let them live more comfortably in the prison, summoning them occasionally to give gifts, or offering them three Holy Martial Spirit Shadows like Pei Kuang did for Ba Zhun...
Moreover, only by helping Cangyu Sect solve the secrets at the center of Divine Demon Island, can they truly regain freedom.
Simultaneously, there are some loyal death soldiers inside to Cangyu Sect.
These soldiers deliberately sacrificed themselves to go inside, using their lives to figure out the secrets of Divine Demon Island; they were sent in to control the prison, forcing prisoners to diligently collect Divine Demon Crystals, among other tasks.
Of course, there aren’t many death soldiers...
How many who are strong enough to suppress the prison would be willing to be death soldiers?
Thus, related to the prison, Cangyu Sect needs to offer sacrifices and rewards, among other things.
Ultimately, with no immediate progress, Bu Tun could only return to Cangyu Sect with the dog-like Junior Brother Bian.
Meanwhile, all demons set to work have also entered the prison.
Outside the prison, only a few powerful demons and various Outer Sect elders and disciples remained.
Elder Liu slowly approached Elder Ruan, mocking, "Elder Ruan, your luck doesn’t seem that great."
In response, Elder Ruan’s face darkened slightly.
He shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It’s not my fault, at least I mined a genius Black Scale Demon, at least I obtained the Demon’s Divine Grade inheritance for Cangyu Sect."
Despite saying this, Elder Ruan cursed Junior Brother Bian over and over in his heart.
Damn it, there could have been a greater achievement; the Great Gate Master was about to summon the Black Scale Demon. If it could truly uncover the secrets at the center of Divine Demon Island, then it would be a great achievement among great achievements.
The Great Gate Master could easily promote him to the Holy Martial Stage and extend his lifespan, which was entirely possible.
Yet, it ended up in this situation.
Elder Liu and the others twitched their mouths, ultimately unable to resist a few sarcastic comments.
Of course, saying things like "You could have won the grand prize, but ended up with a small one; isn’t that tough?"
Naturally, Elder Ruan was too lazy to deal with them anymore. He pulled War Tiger aside and angrily said, "What are you doing? Why did you let that Black Scale Demon laugh? If he hadn’t laughed, this wouldn’t have happened."
