BXBX NOVEL Chapter 52: 52. Investigation
"It is not your fault, grand elder, you don\'t have to worry about that." Yang Chen reassured him, after seeing his reaction.
Yang Chen knew it wasn\'t the grand elder\'s fault. Yang Liwei couldn\'t notice this weird energy unless he personally checks them, but doesn\'t have time for that since he had to take care of the coronation ceremony and tournament.
"No, sect master. It was due to my carelessness that someone did this." Yang Liwei still stubbornly apologized.
"You don\'t need to worry about that and also check the outer sect using your sense" Yang Chen shook his head and replied.
Yang Liwei looked a little skeptical, but still followed the sect master\'s order. After checking it, he opened his eyes in astonishment.
"Sect master.."
"Yes, it seems that some unknown force infiltrated our sect with a bad intention." Yang Chen said, interrupting Yang Liwei.
Both Yang Chen and Yang Liwei weren\'t able to learn about the Will Power, but they guessed it was a kind of new energy.
Yang Liwei fell silent, but he didn\'t blame himself anymore. He couldn\'t possibly take care of everything in the entire sect alone.
"Daniel, come and visit me immediately." Yang Chen ordered in an emotionless tone. Daniel was the guardian in charge of protecting the scripture pavilion, so Yang Chen decided to meet him.
Daniel, who was leisurely sleeping in the chair, woke up suddenly in horror. He heard the voice of the sect master, and sensed the anger contained in it.
\'Why is the sect master angry? Did I do something wrong?\' Daniel flew towards the direction of the sect master, while worrying.
Daniel soon arrived at the location where the source of the voice heard, but he was surprised because of the presence of the grand elder since he must be watching over the secret realm expedition.
But he smiled and expressed his greeting "Greeting sect master, Greeting Grand elder."
"Do you know your mistakes?" Yang Chen asked without explaining anything, hoping to sense any weird reaction on his face.
Yang Chen wanted to check whether Daniel was related to that weird energy or not. If Daniel showed any suspicious behavior, he would kill immediately without any hesitation.
"Can you elaborate and explain the question sect master?" Daniel asked, with a face full of puzzlement.
Yang Chen sighed after seeing his reaction as he only saw pure confusion on Daniel\'s face.
"Check the scripture pavilion using your sense"
Daniel obediently followed order and inspected. After inspection, cold sweat began to appear on his face and even his hands started to tremble in fear.
"Do you know your mistake?" Yang Chen asked, this time putting a lot of pressure on him.
Daniel found it difficult to breathe after being under pressure. It seems like he was carrying the weight of the entire world on his shoulder.
Daniel gritted his teeth and replied "Please forgive me sect master, this happened due to my carelessness."
"Go and lock yourself in the Hell Prison for fifty year."
Yang Chen didn\'t want to kill Daniel, even though he was the cause of his son\'s death indirectly. Although Daniel did a mistake, but it was the first time something happened under his watch. Also, he made a lot of contributions to the sect, which he cannot ignore.
He knew he was wrong after seeing sect master\'s reaction, so Daniel didn\'t argue and left obediently.
After Daniel left, Yang Chen scanned the entire sect again hoping to find the culprit.
He didn\'t care about the privacy or anything about other, and did it without any warning.
The elder felt the strong presence spying them, but soon recognised the familiar aura of sect master and fell silent. Some of them didn\'t like the action of Yang Chen, but sensing the vastness and profoundness in his aura made them silent. They guessed that Yang Chen must have broken to the supreme realm.
The same thing happened to the disciples present in the sect. They didn\'t feel the aura or anything, they only felt a chill on their spine when Yang Chen\'s supreme sense passed them.
Yand Chen shook his head in disappointment after not finding any clues in the sect.
"Grand Elder, call all the disciples outside from the secret realm."
Yang Liwei nodded and took a badge from his storage ring. This badge allows him to teleport all the disciples who has the badge in their hands outside the secret realm.
Yang Liwei injected his Qi inside the badge and soon some inscriptions appeared on it, those inscriptions shipped and the next moment all the disciples who were alive arrived.
They looked around in confusion, since there was still time before ending of expedition. Some of them calmly analysed the situation, while some of them anxiously looked for their partners.
"Silence" Yang Liwei ordered, while excluding his aura a little bit. The disciples created a lot of noise as soon as they came out, so he did this. Yang Liwei then turned towards Yang Chen and nodded.
Yang Chen got the signal and spoke for the time "First of all, congratulations for participating in the secret realm expedition." He paused and looked for their reactions.
Most of the disciples smiled happily after hearing those words. They though they could become a important figure in the sect, since their talent was high enough.
Yang Chen didn\'t wait for long and continued "The next important news is that Yang Wudi died in the secret and the culprit is among you."
The disciples gasped after they heard the news. Most of them had a hard time believing the news, but considering it was said by the sect master himself, they kept silent.
"If you appear on your own and accept the crime, I will decrease the punishment" Yang Chen said after not finding anyone suspicious.
No one came forward and only Anna showed looked around curiously.
\'Phew! I cleared all the traces and left early, or else I could be found.\' Anna thought in relief.
She never expected that the sect master would come out of seclusion at this time and also would find out about his son\'s death.
Yang Chen\'s eyes looked at Anna for a moment, but he didn\'t bother her.
Anna\'s heart skipped for a moment and she almost screamed in fright at Yang Chen\'s sight, but soon calmed herself.
After checking everyone, Yang Chen smirked and raised his hand. He directly pointed towards Anna\'s direction. A disciple attracted into his hands like a magnet.
The disciple wasn\'t Anna, but James. He looked at the sect master with confusion.
"S-sect m-master, why did you capture me?" James suddred, in a barely audible voice.
"Who sent you?" Yang Chen didn\'t bother hearing his nonsense and directly asked a question.
"I don\'t understand your words, sect master."
"Who sent you and how did you kill my son?" Yang Chen asked again, and this time while gritting his teeth. He already found that James was the culprit, but James\' acting flared his anger.
"S-sect master, how could I kill the Holy Son? I don\'t know anything." James\' eyes opened in horror. He already understood his situation after hearing those words.
Yang Chen shook his head and sighed "It seems you aren\'t going to accept my mercy, then I\'ll investigate on my own."
Yang Chen injected his Qi inside his head. James screamed as soon as Yang Chen\'s Qi went inside, it began to ravage inside him.
*AHHHH*
The scream got bigger and bigger. Pretty soon, it directly plunged inside his soul and James fainted due to excessive pain.
A moment later, Yang Chen threw James like trash and closed his eyes. He learned that James wasn\'t the culprit involved in Yang Wudi\'s murder.
The reason Yang Chen captured James was because he sensed the same weird energy from him.
But when he sent his Qi to search his memory, he found that James doesn\'t have any connection to his son\'s death.
It was Kai who made James a sacrificial lamb instead for him. Kai thought at some point, his stealing would be found, so Kai used his Will Power on James consistently to emanate around him.
Kai also altered James\' memories about him using his Will Power. Kai altered James\' memory like that he stole the scriptures for his own use, which wouldn\'t cause any doubts.
Kai anticipated that a situation like this could happen the moment he chose to steal from the scripture pavilion, so he made this back up plan.
James successfully served his purpose, but they didn\'t find the real culprit, which angered Yang Chen.
"Sect master, please calm down. You are in the presence of disciples." Yang Liwei said as soon as he saw aura leaking from Yang Chen\'s body.
Yang Chen took a deep breath and clamed himself.
"Grand Elder, bring out my son." Yang Chen asked, hoping that he would find any clues about the culprit.
"Okay, sect master, but before that I will eliminate him." Yang Liwei nodded and waved his hand.
.
The fainted James turned into a bloody mist.
Yang Liwei and Yang Chen didn\'t even flinch at this scene, but most of disciples looked at this scene in horror.
Not everybody was willing to work harder and achieve greatness. There are many disciples who had a great talent, but never experienced real blood. The name greenhouse perfectly suits them.
