Chapter 350: Testing Loyalty
As soon as the Supreme Elder in charge of the Punishment Hall fell silent, the Supreme Elder who guarded the Demon Beast Ridge spoke with a wry smile. "The main culprit? Who else could it be but that kid who just underwent the Celestial Punishment?"
At these words, the other five Supreme Elders fell silent. Even the one in charge of the Punishment Hall wisely held his tongue.
’If it had been an ordinary disciple or even an Elder, I would have dragged them to the Punishment Hall without a second thought. But since Lin Yun was the one who did it, this is a tricky situation. After all, everyone here has acknowledged his talent.’
’This is someone with the potential to become a Demon Fiend. Undergoing a Celestial Punishment while in the Primordial Ocean Realm is an almost unheard-of event in the history of the Eastern Domain. As long as Lin Yun can develop safely, it’s only a matter of time before he becomes a Demon Fiend.’
"Alright, alright. Thankfully, it was only Tier Three Demon Beasts that died. Since it was that kid’s doing, let’s hear what the Palace Master has to say," one of the Supreme Elders said with a laugh.
Hearing this, the others all turned to look at Luo Feng. ’Seeing all six of these old-timers looking at me, there’s no doubt they’ve passed the buck to me,’ Luo Feng thought. ’And the most infuriating part is, there’s no way for me to pass it back.’
After a dry laugh, Luo Feng said, "Martial Uncles, it was my idea for Lin Yun to enter the Demon Beast Ridge. If someone is to be punished, let it be me."
"Punish you?" the Supreme Elder guarding the Demon Beast Ridge repeated coolly upon hearing Luo Feng’s reply.
Tier Three Demon Beasts were precious, and the Supreme Elders certainly felt the sting of losing so many at once, but it wasn’t an unacceptable loss. Fortunately, Lin Yun hadn’t targeted the Tier Four Demon Beasts.
There were only twenty Tier Four Demon Beast Firebirds in the entire Demon Beast Ridge. If Lin Yun had killed even them, the Supreme Elders would have likely forced Luo Feng to step down as Palace Master.
