Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2040: Chapter 2041: Confronting with Accusations

Upon seeing Ye Luo appear, the expressions of these people varied.

The other disciples all showed looks of envy. After all, Ye Luo had entered the top nine levels. Does that not mean he gained tremendous benefits?

Perhaps he might even seize the position of Sect Master and soar to great heights!

The expressions of several elders were quite complex. They hoped that Ye Luo would seize the top spot in the sect master contest, yet felt that Ye Luo might overshadow them.

Only the Family Head kept his eyes narrowed, making it impossible to discern what was on his mind.

Quickly, the people around noticed a problem!

The Tower of Trials was already closed, and yet only Ye Luo had emerged! What exactly was going on?

Where was Liu Bing? Could he have perished inside? That was also likely, as the top nine levels were certainly perilous. Even Ye Luo was covered in wounds!

”Liu Qing, come with me!”

Though the words were not harsh, there was no room for Ye Luo to refuse. The Family Head grabbed Ye Luo and vanished, leaving the people around looking at each other in confusion!

”That Liu Bing must have a problem!” Liu Mei said, frowning.

”Heh, now who has the problem, isn’t quite clear yet!” Liu Cheng sneered.

Liu Shang slightly shook his head. He was not one for words, and being engrossed in cultivation, seeing there was nothing concerning him, he retreated from the crowd and returned to his dwelling to cultivate.

In the Supreme Elder’s great hall, Ye Luo stood trembling in front of the prayer mat.

”Qing’er, don’t be nervous. I brought you here because the Supreme Elder has a few questions for you!” the Family Head said with a smile.

However, in his eyes, Ye Luo could clearly see suspicion and caution.

But Ye Luo had experienced so much. Even facing a master like the Supreme Elder, he only feigned a look of fear, without any other emotions showing.

”Elder, Family Head, whatever I know, I will not withhold any truth from you!” Ye Luo said respectfully.

In front of these two old foxes, Ye Luo dared not play any tricks. If these two old men caught on, there would be no way he could escape even with all his skills.

”Alright, so tell me, to which level did you reach in the top nine levels this time?” The Supreme Elder suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Luo intensely.

In fact, Ye Luo had long anticipated this question, and he did not plan to lie about it. The Family Head couldn’t see the situation in the top nine levels, but who knew if this old man could!

If Ye Luo had any lies, the Supreme Elder would immediately turn against him, leaving him with no escape.

”Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Liu Bing and I reached the ninth level!”

”What!” The Family Head exclaimed in surprise. The ninth level, not even he or the Supreme Elder could reach it!

The expression on the Supreme Elder’s face changed subtly but quickly returned to normal.

”What did you see on the ninth level?”

The Supreme Elder’s questions were still straightforward!

”Reporting to the Supreme Elder, I saw a mountain filled with the bones of the Dragon Clan!” Ye Luo replied respectfully.

The Family Head was already wide-eyed with shock. Despite his deep scheming, he now showed such an expression, reflecting his inner tumult.

”Dragon Clan’s bones? Also, how did you reach the ninth level?”

Ye Luo thought for a moment and slowly shook his head, ”Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Qing’er does not know!”

Upon hearing this, the Family Head’s expression changed, and suddenly, the temperature in the great hall dropped sharply, causing Ye Luo to shudder involuntarily.

Indeed, the aura came from the Supreme Elder.

”Qing’er, you had better tell us everything you know. It will be beneficial for you. After all, we trust you!” the Family Head hurriedly said.

Ye Luo snorted inwardly. If they trusted him, they wouldn’t have forcibly brought him here for questioning!

”Reporting to the Family Head, Qing’er truly does not know. Given my ability, I was already struggling before reaching the fortieth level. Later, Liu Bing forcibly dragged me up the tower with him. Strangely, in his presence, those demon beasts did not attack us, allowing us to smoothly reach the top nine levels! And, something even more bizarre happened!” Ye Luo paused, occasionally observing the Supreme Elder’s expression, feigning a look of fear.

”Feel free to speak. What strange things happened, rest assured, as you are the Liu Family’s talented one, we won’t do anything to you!” the Supreme Elder said authoritatively.

”Indeed, in the upcoming sect master candidate contest, we have high hopes for you. However, this matter is of utmost importance and must be clarified!” The Family Head smiled.

Ye Luo understood that these two were playing a game of good cop, bad cop.

Anyway, as Liu Bing had disappeared, he could just push the blame on him.

”Reporting to the Supreme Elder, when we reached the top nine levels, Liu Bing seemed to change completely, becoming violent and fierce. The demon beasts on the top nine levels then began attacking us. Those demon beasts were so powerful that I had no power to fight back. Liu Bing was in slightly better shape than me, but not by much. Just when I thought we would both perish on the top nine levels, he suddenly wielded his giant sword. With one slash, the demon beast was cleaved in two! And I felt that this wasn’t a strength Liu Bing could possess at all!”

Ye Luo continued to wear an expression of lingering fear; he was quite experienced in acting.

”Oh? A giant sword, could it be!” The Family Head’s face changed drastically.

The Supreme Elder also furrowed his brow, ”Alright, we are now aware of this matter. Remember, do not speak of it to anyone, understand? If word gets out, even as the Liu Family’s genius, I will not spare you!”

Hearing this, Ye Luo quickly nodded in agreement. Then, the Family Head allowed Ye Luo to leave. Ye Luo, feeling as if he had been granted amnesty, hurriedly ran out.

”What do you think of his words?”

After Ye Luo left, the Supreme Elder asked.

The Family Head pondered for a while, ”At least eighty percent credible. In my opinion, though his strength is decent, just reaching the top nine levels is already difficult. The problem likely still lies with Liu Bing. Without that giant sword, I don’t think they could have reached the top. Also, a huge change, even chaos, has occurred in the Tower of Trials! I suspect that Liu Bing took something out!”

The Supreme Elder sighed, ”If we analyze based on surface appearances, it indeed seems so. However, I still feel Qing’er seems different from how he was last time he returned. But you’re right, even if he has small secrets, he didn’t have the ability to reach the top nine levels this time. Moreover, I secretly observed just now; that thing has nothing to do with him!”

Hearing the Supreme Elder’s words, the Family Head also breathed a sigh of relief.
