My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!
Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Dagger through the heart

The door of the hall opened, the noise being particularly eye-catching as it came right when Ancestral Elder Wang was about to announce the name of the new Sect Leader.

Quite a few great elders turned towards the door, wondering who was arriving. Only the Great Elders were allowed to attend this meeting, and almost all of them were here already.

There was only one Great Elder who hadn't arrived. It was Xiu Ying. Everyone thought that it was most probably Xiu Ying. As the woman was close to Feng Yu, the Great Elders believed that they were in for a great show.

It was clear that Xiu Ying wasn't going to submit as easily. Many even wondered if they were actually going to see a Great Elder die.

They weren't the only ones who thought that it was Xiu Ying. The Ancestral Elders also thought the same.

"Hmm?" Ancestral Elder Yang revealed slight surprise as he saw the person that had entered. It wasn't Xiu Ying. Instead, it was that interesting Elder that he had seen in the hallway a few days ago.

"It is... him?" Great Elder Zia looked at Eren, slightly taken aback.

At the moment, the only sound that could be heard in the hallway was the sound of Eren's footsteps.

His black robe trailed behind him as he approached the hall, being in the center of everyone's attention.

"You bastard, who do you think you are to enter this meeting?" The old man who had a conflict with Eren had his lips twitched at the sight of Eren.

It was because of this man that he had to suffer humiliation in the hallway. If it wasn't for Great Elder Zia's interruption, he would have killed him right there.

He had been looking for Eren for quite a few days to teach him a lesson but Eren appeared to have run away. He even believed that Eren was scared of him which made him run away, fearing retaliation.

The old man didn't expect Eren to return again. The old man was furious on the outside, but on the inside, he was laughing.

Eren had interrupted this meeting and entered the place which he wasn't supposed to enter. Even the Great Elder Zia couldn't save him today. If she tried, he was sure that the Ancestral Elders were going to do something.

If anything, this was a perfect opportunity for him to teach Eren a lesson without worrying about any interrupting.

"A mere elder dares to desecrate this meeting with his presence? Were you trying to hear the secrets so you could tell the enemies? Are you a spy of another continent?" he asked, using the same excuse as the Ancestral Elders.

He did not realize that he had actually hit the mark about his identity.

Even though he asked a question, he didn't offer Eren a chance to offer an explanation.

He rushed towards Eren, worried that Eren might apologize and call it an accident, letting the Ancestral Elders forgive him. Before that happened, he wanted to kill Eren.

"You!" Zia also realized what the old man was planning. She had to save Eren who was not strong enough to protect himself against a Great Elder.

"Huh?" Just as Great Elder Zia was about to move, she felt a terrifying pressure descend on her. She couldn't even take a single step forward, being suppressed by this pressure.

With a thud, her body fell on its knees. She could even locate the source of this pressure. It was coming from Ancestral Elder Yang who was sitting next to the woman on the throne.

She didn't know why the Ancestral Elder was suppressing her. Was it because she had annoyed him by raising her voice against his decision previously? Did he stop her because he knew she wanted to save that person?

Whatever the case, she knew that she couldn't do anything. Even though she was strong, she wasn't able to resist this pressure.

She tried to stand up even against this pressure but the pressure only became stronger, bringing her down to her knees with great force, making her knees bleed.

The old man saw what happened to Zia. He smiled, taking it as the silent support from the Ancestral Elders towards his actions. He didn't have to worry about anything when teaching this arrogant young man a lesson.

'Young man, you can only blame your bad luck and arrogance for it!' he thought as he appeared before Eren, letting out his aura.

His dagger came straight for Eren's chest, brimming with an unknown power that made the dagger impossible to dodge.

The dagger came straight for Eren's chest, this time there was no one to save him.

"Huh?" The old man froze in place as his dagger stabbed Eren's chest. It was because he didn't feel any resistance. There was no feeling of slicing through flesh. It was more like he had just sliced through the wind.

Just as he expected, Eren's figure dispersed, being revealed to only be an after image. The old man was stunned. How could Eren be faster than him who was a Great Elder?

His shock only turned to pain as he felt something sharp being stabbed in the back of his neck. He lowered his gaze, noticing the sharp sword coming out from the front of his throat.

The blade was covered with his own blood. His eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. How was it possible? Eren was supposed to be the one who was going to die! Why was it him that was hurt? Just why?

He didn't even have the time to come up with any explanation when the blade moved, slicing through his flesh.

The old man's eyes were still open when the world turned upside down for him. With a thud, his head fell on the ground in between his feet.

He only saw the person's back. As his head was upside down, the person appeared upside down for him. As his vision turned dark, he watched the young man walk away without even looking back.

Following that, another thud sound responded in the hall that had grown pin drop silent. The body of the old great elder fell on the ground right as his eyes closed forever.
