The Shadow-Hiding Monster Worth More Than Imagined

"It was Elder Rao, who was on guard duty today."

The surrounding whispers reached Chen Xu's ears, and he quickly learned this elder's identity.

Elder Rao Guang, one of the Demon-Subduing Sect's eight Grade-B elders, was a powerful Martial Artist in the Martial Core Realm.

The Demon-Subduing Sect openly possessed eleven Martial Artists in the Martial Core Realm or Blood-Soul Realm. That was the foundation that allowed it to suppress an entire region!

"I always tell you to memorize the sect rules and not cause trouble. Yet today, it seems you've all treated those rules as mere wind passing your ears?"

Elder Rao's expression darkened. Other than him, no one in the entire hall dared make the slightest sound. Silence filled the room.

"Chain those two outside the main hall for twenty-four hours, then release them the next day!"

Hearing Elder Rao's icy words, the two ignored their pain and crawled back to his feet. "Elder Rao, this disciple knows his mistake now. I'll never do it again. Please spare us this once."

If they were chained outside the hall for twenty-four hours, it was uncertain whether even a few pieces of white bone would remain by the time they were released.

With their mere Opening Apertures Realm strength, they could not even survive a night in Zone A, much less endure being tied up there as helpless human-shaped blood food.

"This elder does not wish to repeat himself."

The instant Elder Rao finished speaking, several disciples rushed out from the crowd, gagged the two men, and dragged them away by force, ignoring their struggles.

"Hmph. This elder is not as easy to talk to as Elder Wei. If such a thing happens again, any disciples nearby who see it and fail to stop it will be punished as well!"
