Chapter 214: Cleaning House (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Three months passed, but the sect didn't take any action. Be it the Nine Suns Sect or the Nine Yang Academy, everything was as peaceful as ever.
...“What are the high-ranking officials of the sect thinking?”
Lin Shen didn't believe that Xie Jingsheng hadn't reported the news to Si Yuanpei. It was unlikely that the latter wouldn't report it to the sect either.
The peaceful situation was more likely because the officials of the sect were waiting for something.
Suppressing his doubts, Lin Shen walked towards the square.
Today was the disciple rank challenge day which happened once every three months.
When Lin Shen arrived at the square, he saw that it was already crowded. The atmosphere was abnormally lively.
After some effort, Lin Shen found Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian in the crowd.
Both of them looked travel-worn, clearly having just returned from the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.
Lin Shen's heart skipped a beat, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, Yang Zhongyi also noticed Lin Shen and walked over with a smile.
“I thought that you had lost track of time while cultivating in seclusion. 1 was going to look for you.”
“Have all the disciples returned from the White Tiger Mountain?” Lin Shen suddenly asked.
“Of course, today is the disciple rank challenge.”
Yang Zhongyi looked at Lin Shen strangely, wondering why he would ask such an obvious question.
Lin Shen didn't mind his reply. He looked around and soon found Yan Xing in the crowd.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jingren was also there.
Normally, the upper house disciples wouldn't come to watch the lower house disciples' challenge. They would usually only appear two days later when the upper house disciples were challenged.
Because of this, Yan Jingren attracted many strange gazes.
However, everyone knew that Lin Shen wanted to challenge Yan Jingren. Most people thought that Yan Jingren had returned to the academy early because of this.
After figuring this out, many people immediately darted back and forth between Lin Shen and Yan Jingren as they pointed excitedly.
“How is it, Lin? Are you confident in the challenge in two days?” Yang Zhongyi leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Su Nian also looked at Lin Shen inquisitively.
Although the two of them believed in Lin Shen's strength and talent, his opponent was a disciple of the upper house after all. Furthermore, he was Yan Jingren, who was also famous for his talent in the academy. No matter what, they were still a little worried.
“Don't worry.”
Lin Shen smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.
Seeing Yan Jingren here, he had a vague feeling that the disciple rank challenge today might not take place.
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian looked at each other in confusion. They felt that Lin Shen's behavior was a little strange.
However, they only thought that Lin Shen was like this because of the challenge two days later, so they didn't press him.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Yang Zhongyi and Su Nian turned around and were stunned.
A group of people strode into the square. Wherever they passed, the crowd parted like seawater, clearing a path.
Looking over, they saw the person in the lead was tall and ordinary-looking, but he had a dignified aura. He was the leader of the ten disciples of the upper house, Shen Zening!
Behind him were eight young men and women with extraordinary bearings.
Xie Jingsheng, Mu Chuanhua, Jiang Hao… All of them were upper-house disciples.
Together with Yan Jingren, who was already in the square, all the ten disciples of the upper house were present.
“It's Senior Brother Shen!”
“Senior Brother Xie, Senior Brother Mu, and the others are here too!”
“What's the occasion? Why are all the upper house disciples here?”
“What happened?”
The crowd discussed animatedly, and many disciples looked stunned.
Even on the day of the upper house challenge, the top ten disciples might not all appear, let alone today, which was only the day of the lower house challenge.
What was going on?
Many people looked at each other, feeling that something was amiss.
In a corner of the square, Yan Xing was surprised to see Shen Zening and the others.
“Brother, why are Shen Zening and the others here?”
“I don't know.”
Yan Xing was stunned. He turned to look at Yan Jingren and realized that his brother's expression had become extremely solemn.
He soon realized something was off.
The upper house disciples must have something unusual to do here today.
Yan Jingren was also one of the top ten disciples of the upper house, but he was completely unaware of the occasion and was clearly excluded. This was undoubtedly a very bad sign.
Yan Xing started to panic when he thought of this.
With Shen Zening in the lead, the nine upper house disciples stood in front of the crowd and looked around.
The square immediately fell silent.
Everyone stared at the upper house disciples, waiting for them to explain the reason for showing up here today.
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Zening took a step forward and said loudly,
“We're here today on the orders of the archimandrite to read the sect's decree!”
As soon as he said this, the disciples were all astonished, but they didn't dare to interrupt Shen Zening and only listened attentively.
In the next moment, Shen Zening took out a decree and threw it into the air.
In an instant, a green light appeared. The decree hovered in the air, and the figure of an old man in a Daoist robe slowly appeared on it.
Disciples with sharp eyes immediately recognized that it was the Disciplinary Elder of the Nine Suns Sect.
The old man spoke slowly, his deep voice spreading throughout the entire square.
“The Yan family has disregarded the gratitude of the sect and intends to annex the spirit cave under the White Tiger Mountain. It's equivalent to betraying the sect. Their crimes must be punished. Today, according to the Sect Master's decree, we will clean up the sect and destroy the Yan family!”
Traitors! The sect was cleaning house!
As soon as he said this, the entire square fell silent. One could even hear a pin drop on the ground.
Countless shocked gazes turned to members of the Yan family..
