I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 2055: Chapter 2055: The Man in White Robes, Inspector First

The ceremony for Netherworld King and others entering the hall was already completed.

At this moment,

the main hall of the Observatory Hall was dimly lit, with only a few strands of light filtering through the high windows, casting cold shadows on the scroll held by the Hall Master, Shen Liuzhou.

The scroll contained information about Netherworld King and the others.

He sat alone at the high seat, fingers tapping the tabletop, the sound of monotone knocks echoed in the spacious hall, the air stagnant.

”These five all come from the Upper Qing Realm... How can there be two Golden Light talents and three Silver Light talents appearing here at the same time?” Speaking of this, Shen Liuzhou looked at the few people below and asked, ”Can it be investigated?”

Yang Shao’s master, the Vice Hall Master Lin, shook his head and said: ”The Upper Qing Realm belongs to the Great Realm under the trunk of the World Tree, it’s not very high in level, and doesn’t have a Supervisory Temple there.”

The First Elder also reported: ”They have a fellow Confucian Practitioner with them, whose talent probably reaches the Golden Light level, but was taken away by Qingcheng Old Daoist.”

Shen Liuzhou held the scroll in one hand, lightly tapping the table with the other as he contemplated for a moment before looking up at the three elders and said: ”Even though I don’t believe anyone dares to do anything to the Supervisory Temple, it’s unusual for so many talents to appear in a lower realm at once. You three should keep an eye on their movements.”

The three elders nodded.

”Additionally, assign more tasks to these five recently. Given their talents, they probably haven’t revealed all their strength in the Kuyun Sect battle; observe them more.”

Vice Hall Master Lin nodded and said, ”Leave this matter to me.”

”Continue to interrogate those captured from the Kuyun Sect, as the evil cultivators grow increasingly rampant in recent years, the situation might not be simple.”

The First Elder nodded and affirmed: ”Yes.”

After delegating the tasks,

Shen Liuzhou waved his hand, saying: ”You all may leave now.”

After several people left one after another,

only Shen Liuzhou remained in the hall, and yet he sat at the high seat and said: ”What do you think?”

Suddenly, a figure entirely shrouded in a white robe appeared quietly at the spot where Vice Hall Master Lin had just sat, as if he had always been there.

He took the scroll handed by Shen Liuzhou, his voice carrying a gentle yet elusive smile: ”Two Golden Lights, three top-tier Silver Lights, all coincidentally from the same lower realm... As the Hall Master previously mentioned, this kind of luck seems overly concentrated.”

Shen Liuzhou nodded, ”It is indeed somewhat peculiar, so I instructed Vice Hall Master Lin to assign them more tasks recently to test them.”

”Well done, Hall Master.” The white-robed figure said while pulling out another scroll, and even without opening it, the suppressed black aura constantly seeped out.

”By chance, I can’t spare the time to take on more tasks lately, so let’s hand this over to them instead.”

Upon seeing this, Shen Liuzhou raised an eyebrow, his pupils slightly twitched, ”The case of the Banan Border Fourteen Sects being massacred? They’ve just joined the Holy Court, I fear they may not be up to it.”

The white-robed figure shook his head, ”It’s only to have them conduct preliminary investigations; the Holy Court can assign personnel later.

Moreover, a higher difficulty will better assess their true strength; if we’ve indeed guessed wrongly, it will serve as a form of training for prodigies of their kind.

Coming from a lower realm devoid of great luck, reaching such talents must have undergone constant trials of life and death; this will be another form of training for them.”

Shen Liuzhou nodded, smiling at the white-robed figure, he said: ”You’re in the same generation as them and ranked first among the young inspectors; wouldn’t you lead them?”

The white-robed figure shook his head, ”I don’t have the time for that.”

Shen Liuzhou received the scroll, ”I’ll have Vice Hall Master Lin arranged it for them.”

The white-robed figure got up and saluted, ”Then I’ll trouble the Hall Master.”

As he watched the departing back of the white-robed figure, Shen Liuzhou shook his head slightly, reflecting: ”Truly a prodigy of the Holy Court... but it seems he’s quite interested in Mu Jiu and the others?”

...

Soon, the feats of Netherworld King and the others spread throughout the Supervisory Temple.

For a time, many disciples and stewards within the temple wished to meet them, some eager to spar, others looking to forge connections ahead of time.

Aside from the three with Silver Light, those two with Golden Light... will inevitably become inspectors, and later on, figures at the elder and hall master level within the temple.

In the mountain range behind the temple.

Yang Shao led them to a cave mansion halfway up the mountain.

”Here, five cave mansions are connected; convenient for you, and exceptionally arranged in a place designated for inspectors, which prevents outsiders from completely blocking the entrance.”

Yang Shao suddenly looked at Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu, remarking with an ambiguous laugh: ”But isn’t arranging five cave mansions a bit excessive?”

Mu Fusheng responded calmly, ”Originally considering joining Vice Hall Master Lin here, but it seems I should consider others instead.”

Yang Shao immediately pleaded, ”Don’t, don’t, Brother Mu, just joking!”

Everyone laughed.

”Alright, take some rest, I’ll first...” Yang Shao began to turn to leave when suddenly hesitated, then turned back to Netherworld King and the others with a wry smile: ”Alright, you can’t rest anymore, Master wants to see you, come with me.”

Netherworld King and the others exchanged glances.

All understood that the next round of tests was beginning.

...

Deep within the mountains.

Thirteen peaks were nestled.

Habitation for several elders and two vice hall masters, as well as Shen Liuzhou.

As they bypassed the nine outer peaks, Xu Yeming asked playfully, ”Brother Yang, why do six of these nine peaks lack the presence of any living beings?”

Yang Shao glanced surprised, ”I see you’re truly at the Silver Radiance Eighth Layer; even this you can sense.”

He followed with a bitter smile, ”The other six elders all perished while on missions, so far, it’s unknown who’s responsible; this is, as of now, the most serious provocation the Supervisory Temple has experienced.”

Xu Yeming clutched his mouth in feigned astonishment, ”Really? Who has the strength and audacity to strike against the Supervisory Temple?”

Mu Fusheng looked helplessly at Xu Yeming.

This Junior Brother Xu really knows how to pierce right where it hurts.

”I don’t know the specifics either, perhaps Master does.” While answering, Yang Shao had already led Netherworld King and the others to one of the three deepest peaks.

”Master.”

Outside the mountain, Yang Shao saluted.

Netherworld King and the others followed suit.

No echo returned, yet an irresistible force seized Netherworld King and the others, bringing them to the peak.

The mountaintop resembled a utopia.

Bamboo forests dotted the area, sunlight filtering through, illuminating a pond where an elder sat cross-legged while fishing.

Without turning around, Vice Dean Lin directly tossed out a scroll, saying: ”Specially recruited into the Supervisory Temple, despite strong talents, you still need to complete a task to win over the masses. Go directly.”

”As for Mu Jiu, you’re skilled in talismans, you don’t need to go. Instead, inscribe talismans within the temple as proof of your prowess.”
