After listening to Chun Yang Huang and Liu Shi Meng's account of what happened, Elder Hao Zhen turns around to clarify the situation for the rest of the elders.
"A demon have snuck into the sect tonight causing the disappearance of several disciples and the injury of one. Thankfully the missing disciples have returned without harm, save for one disgrace. Security of the sect's barrier formation will increase and disciples out on missions should keep an eye out for Tian Han Ran. Also, another important thing I want all elders to keep in mind. This demon might be the same one from Hell Fallen Village fifteen years ago."
After saying this, Elder Hao Zhen sneaks a peek at Liu Shi Meng. After all, this is his parent's murder they're talking about. The clenched fists of Liu Shi Meng did not escape his eyes.
Liu Shi Meng maintains his cool composure, but his heart is in complete turmoil. He wasn't aware of this before, but after regaining his memories, he realizes that the rain of fire that killed his parents and many other was indeed caused by him.
What makes a demon different from a Heavenly Immortal is not their true form or their cultivation. It's their way of birth. Demons will forever be birthed out of destruction and resentment while Heavenly Immortals are born out of the purest substance in the world.
A demon can spend the rest of its life doing good but it can't change the fact that it's a demon. The same way an Immortal can slaughter a sea of blood but will always be an Immortal.
For a powerful demon like Liu Shi Meng, the natural phenomenon that happens because of his birth will naturally be nothing short of destructive.
As if sensing his thoughts, Chun Hong Yue puts his hand on Liu Shi Meng's shoulder and shakes his head.
"I advise everyone to exercise extreme caution when dealing with this demon. If there's nothing else then this meeting is finished." Seeing that no one have anything else to say, Elder Hao Zhen began to leave. Other elders follow suit and just as everyone was about to exit the hall, a tall domineering figure walks in.
The man's ink black hair trials onto the floor as he walks. His skin was jade pale complementing his black robe with gold embroidery well. Two calm amber eyes that seems immovably tranquil looks across the hall.
Upon seeing the man that just walked in, Elder Hao Zhen froze on the spot. Shit! He totally forgot about him!
Hurriedly all the elders in the room bows respectfully " Sect master Yu."
"Mn." Wang Shu Yu nods in response feeling pleased. Then he saw that everyone was standing and prepared to leave and his expression immediately darken with displeasure. "Sit."
All the elders immediately scrambled back to their seat except for Elder Hao Zhen who's face is frozen in a desperate smile.
Wang Shu Yu walks slowly up the stairs in the front of the hall reaching the the sole jade chair that hadn't been occupied the entire time. Overlooking the entire room he gives off a chilling vibe, the perfect picture of a elegance, if not for the fact that his belt was tied poorly and his outer robe seemed a bit ruffled.
Naturally this did not escape Elder Hao Zhen's eye. His fingers down at his side twitches slightly.
The hall remains completely silent as the elders glance nervously at each other waiting for the Sect Master to say something.
One elder looks at another. 'Why is the Sect Master here?? Isn't this meeting finished?'
'Maybe Sect Master was caught up in important duties and was unable to arrive until now. Perhaps he have some important insight he wishes to bestow upon us!'
The elders nod in understanding. Mn, Sect Master sure works hard for the sect. With renewed respect for their Sect Master, the elders once again began to patiently wait for their Sect Master to speak.
The longer the silence drags on for, the more Elder Hao Zhen sense a foreboding dread. "Sect Master Yu, this one had already finished up the meeting but if Sect Master have anything else to say, this one is listening."
A look of confusion spread across Wang Shu Yu's face, "Ended?"
Ah, shit! So he thought we were just starting this meeting? Elder Hao Zhen hurriedly reply "Yes, this one have already took care of everything, there's no need for Sect Master to worry."
Hearing this, Wang Shu Yu grabs a bunch of his robe's fabric staring from Elder Hao Zhen back to his outfit.
Without another word, Wang Shu Yu walks out of the silent room before quickly teleporting away.
Everyone in the room "..." Looks at Elder Hao Zhen.
"Don't look at me." The fingers at his side twitching more rapidly. "Hah... why is life so hard?"
