"If we just performed well, I would believe it, but winning the competition?" The elder spoke after opening the door and looking at Deacon Xu.
"Great Elder, I'm not exaggerating, with this monster, I'm sure we have a chance." Deacon Xu responded with a frightened expression as he remembered those eyes.
"Monster?". The Grand Elder looked at the deacon, who made a fearful expression as he spoke of this genius.
Then he saw that he really seemed to be serious, and thinking about how Deacon Xu had never lied to him, he believed that there was some truth, but he still doubted that that was all.
"And where is this monster now?"
"Great elder, he is in the city now. I came here to quickly speak to the leaders to decide what to do."
"Come, I will speak to the sect leader, if you are right, you will be rewarded for this after we confirm the situation."
The great elder went to the main hall where the sect leader was, he seemed to be walking normally, but Deacon Xu could barely keep up, and they soon arrived at the sect hall.
"Great Elder Zhang, what important thing happened for you to appear here?" said a middle-aged man who was sitting on a large throne at the end of the hall.
He had a gentle smile on his face that didn't match the horrible pressure around his body or his appearance, his hair was black but with a few gray strands.
There was a large scar that ran from his neck to his left eye, giving him an extremely ugly appearance.
"The sect leader, Deacon Xu, on his last outing to bring in new disciples, encountered a monstrous genius with the potential to represent us in the battle of the demonic branches."
"And he thinks a meeting with the elders is necessary to discuss this genius." The great elder spoke respectfully to the man in front of him.
"Monstrous genius, interesting, where is he?" Said the man sitting on the throne with a bit of suspicion.
"Sect leader, he is in the city now. I said I would take him to the sect after talking to the leaders."
"And what is his name?"
"Sect leader, I don't know, I didn't dare ask," the deacon replied strangely.
"Oh, okay, Grand Elder Zhang, gather all the elders in the hall in two hours, Deacon Xu, go down the mountain and bring that genius you say quickly." The sect leader spoke as he threw a golden plate with a red horn at the deacon.
"You seem to be serious, so I trust you. I hope you surprise me and that he really is a genius like you say."
"Because after the meeting we see that it is common," said the leader as his smile slowly disappeared and a murderous intent pressed on the deacon and soon disappeared.
Elder Xu took a deep breath, bowed to the two present, and ran down the mountain as fast as he could.
"So what is your opinion on this, Grand Elder Zhang?"
"I can't say, but he seemed scared whenever he talked about this person, maybe it's really true, and we need someone with potential after he died." Said the great elder as a huge killing intent poured out of his body.
"I will gather everyone, when Deacon Xu arrives we will know the truth." He spoke as he left the hall.
