Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

"No one outside the Great Ye Clan knows how to create these bombs." Sect Leader Su\'s words rang through the hall. He didn\'t forget to wave his hand and create a Qi wall so as not to let the disciples hear his words.

Everyone was first confused for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned upon them.

"Someone from the Great Ye Clan is in our Sect!?" Peak Master Cao almost shouted.

Sect Leader Su suddenly frowned and then shook his head, "No- no, who will come here from that clan? Use your brain. It is most probably someone who had access to these bombs."

Sect Leader Su continued with a slight frown, "From the looks of it, I am pretty sure this bomb is not a copy attempt by rival sects. It is definitely made by someone who is very well versed in the art of creating these bombs."

"So, who could it be?" Peak Master Cao whispered.

Sect Leader Su shook his head, "No idea. It could be anyone. Well, what we need to care about is to find the reason why this person came to our sect."

"What are these bombs used for? Other than assassinations?" Peak Master Cao whispered once again.

Sect Leader Su replied, "They are mostly used in kidnapping- ah, this person was here to kidnap a disciple?"

"What?" The elders were surprised.

Peak Master Cao was also no different; he whispered in a shocked tone, "Who would he try to kidnap, Senior Brother?"

Sect Leader Su shrugged, "That\'s what we need to find you."

Peak Master Cao nodded and replied in a whisper, "Senior Brother, this is the Fourth Floor. Almost all the disciples here were very talented, though only six of them stand out. We should have a search on them, and whoever it was, he\'s most probably here for someone important."

Sect Leader Su shook his head, "Important disciple for us doesn\'t mean he will be important for everyone. We need to look through all the cultivation abodes. But why the hell are you suddenly whispering!?"

Peak Master Cao looked at the sides from the corner of his eyes and whispered, "We need to be careful, Senior Brother."

All the elders rolled their eyes, including Sect Leader Su, "Cao Weisheng, everyone here is a cultivator, including the intruder. So your whispering isn\'t exactly helping."

"Ah, yes," Peak  Master Cao nodded his head and turned towards the disciples to change the topic.

As Sect Leader Su removed the Qi Wall, Peak Master Cao said to the disciples from the disciplinary hall, "All of you, begin looking through all the cultivation abodes on this floor, and tell me if there\'s anything suspicious or out of the ordinary."

The disciples nodded their heads, "Yes, Peak Master."

Just as they had turned and split into small groups of two, Sect Leader Su suddenly asked, "Why aren\'t there any disciples from this floor out of their cultivation abode? It\'s as if they have completely disappeared."

The elders nodded their heads and looked around in confusion.

It was at this moment that the leader of the disciplinary hall stepped forward and said, "Sect Leader, we have ordered everyone to stay in the cultivation abodes."

"Oh?" Sect Leader Su looked at the disciple from up to down and continued, "So the intruder can complete his task?"

"Uh-uh, Sect Leader, where will the intruder go even if he completes the thing whatever he is here for?" The disciple couldn\'t help but shrug.

Sect Leader just shook his head in disappointment and chose to ignore this disciple\'s existence forever.

The disciple, unaware of the fact that he had just lost the favor of the most powerful person in the sect, said, "We will start an investigation, Sect Leader Su."

And then, he turned and gave some instructions to the other disciples, who then split up and went to knock on different cultivation abodes.

As Peak Master Cao stared at the disciple, a sudden question popped up in his head.

"Why are you here, Senior Brother?" He gave a confused look to Sect Leader Su, "It\'s not that you aren\'t welcome here. Well, the whole Sect is yours, but why suddenly here?"

Sect Leader Su didn\'t reply and instead retorted, "I can ask you the same question. It was just a small incident; well, at least it looked like a small incident, then why is everyone here? From Peak Master to half of the Inner Court Elders, everyone is here?"

Peak Master Cao shrugged, "Senior Brother, we, of course, came here because of the commotion. Coincidentally at the time of the incident, I was having a meeting with everyone present here. We were assessing the performance of the disciples in the Gracious Sword Rankings when we heard sudden explosions. One of the elders went out, and then we didn\'t pay much attention after knowing that the disciplinary hall was handling the situation."

"However, later we got to know that the situation was not reaching any conclusion, and this was the second time this had happened today, we all decided to look into this situation personally."

"This is why we all came here. What about you, Senior Brother? Were you coming here for something else, or was it related to this incident?"

Sect Leader Su frowned and turned his back towards everyone while facing the stairway\'s direction.

"Senior Brother?" Peak Master Cao frowned.

Sect Leader Su closed his eyes and relaxed his breathing. After a moment, he turned around and said, "I was actually here-!"

"Shu Xian! open the door!"

A sudden shout attracted everyone\'s attention. They turned around and saw two disciples shouting at a cultivation abode.

Sect Leader Su asked, "What\'s happening?"

The disciples turned around and replied, "Sect Leader, this is disciple Shu Xian\'s cultivation abode, and he had not opened the door even though we knocked on it a lot of times."

Sect Leader Su narrowed his eyes and stared at the cultivation door in front of him.
