Chapter 173 Where are the hotheads?
Seeing this everyone was confused for a moment. Everyone could clearly see that he had the advantage, but he suddenly escaped. This didn\'t make any sense. What was happening?
"Don\'t let him leave. He is a wanted criminal by our Icy Nether Hall. Moreover, he obtained the main inheritance from the Grotto Heaven…"
Seeing Shen Wulong\'s decisive escape, Qing Mu shouted anxiously.
BOOM!
What? That was the one who had obtained the main inheritance? Are you stupid? Why are you only saying this now? Stupid Woman!
Everyone cursed Qing Mu internally for being too wordy. The next moment, several experts immediately vanished from the vicinity and started chasing Shen Wulong\'s distant figure.
Just then…
Roar!!!
A ferocious roar erupted from the distance and a large ape started rushing in the same direction as the experts. Seeing the large ape, the rest of the experts who wanted to follow immediately gave up their idea.
They knew that this was a Level 7 beast. And for it to come up short in the fight in the main hall, then the strength of the one who came out on top would not be simple. Right now, they hadn\'t actually gauged the situation clearly, so they were a bit muddleheaded.
If they chased after someone who can fight against a Level 7 beast, then they would only be sending themselves to their death. So, they decisively gave up their greed and restrained themselves.
Among the experts present, a few already figured out the details behind the situation and they all shot suspicious looks at the injured Qing Mu. Anyone who could cultivate to this level wasn\'t a fool. They all smelled something strange about the situation.
This woman had not only survived a sneak attack by such an expert. But, she also delayed the expert from escaping with her words. This woman was by no means someone simple.
Even though they felt sorry for her state, they didn\'t want to get involved in the struggles between powerhouses. How can a criminal chased by the Icy Nether Hall be useless? There must be more to this story.
Seeing everyone\'s restraint, Qing Mu cursed them internally for being a bunch of cowards. She knew that no one would buy her act now. She only felt that it was a pity that she was currently injured and wouldn\'t be able to chase after Shen Wulong.
"Senior Sister, what do we do now?" Qing Mu\'s junior brother also figured out that their ruse will not work anymore and asked anxiously.
"What are you worried about? No one here will dare touch us. Let\'s see the situation here first. We can cooperate with some First Tier sects to track Shen Wulong later," Qing Mu said composing herself.
Qing Mu\'s junior brother nodded.
In the distance, the expressions of the experts from the Heavenly Demon Sect changed slightly. The moment the woman revealed herself as a disciple of Icy Nether Hall, they knew that things have become murky.
With such an identity, if anything happened to her, things would become tricky. None of the experts from the Heavenly Demon Sect wanted to offend the Icy Nether Hall.
Even Liang Tianye furrowed his brows a little. He knew that his Senior Brother didn\'t want the attention of the Central Continent to be shifted toward their sect at this juncture. So, he needed to tread this problem carefully.
"Vice-Sect Master, what are we supposed to do now? With that woman\'s identity, things would become a little difficult," one of the elders asked a little worriedly.
"What are you afraid of? As long as we don\'t kill her, Icy Nether Hall wouldn\'t have anything to complain about," Liang Tianye snorted dissatisfiedly. "Moreover, we aren\'t here to kill people, are we?"
Liang Tinaye asked with a smile causing the elder to frown a bit.
Seeing his reaction, Liang Tianye confirmed in his heart that this elder was one of the people who were sent to monitor him by the First Grand Elder. That probing question now was to check his motives. If he had said something else, then it might have tipped off this old man about his motives.
Liang Tianye sneered at the elder\'s pitiful attempt of fishing for information. He wasn\'t that naïve. Moreover, there wasn\'t a need for him to act yet. Once his disciple\'s death was confirmed, then he could act with proper justification. Why would he rush to pick a fight now?
"Assemble our disciples and gather information on what happened inside," Liang Tianye ordered nonchalantly and looked at the gathered experts with a dismissive eye.
No matter what happens, today he would create chaos.

"They did what?"
"Absolutely despicable…"
"How dare they?"
"What! They are really audacious to…"
"Despicable! Absolutely despicable!"
Countless sounds of outrage erupted soon amongst the gathered experts causing a commotion in the area. The experts who had gathered with their disciples were all wearing an enraged expression as they looked at the Heavenly Demon Sect group.
Whether they be from righteous sects or from demonic sects everyone was outraged after hearing what happened inside the Grotto Heaven. They never expected even the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect to act so outrageously. Such a thing was simply unimaginable…
Meanwhile, the elders from the Heavenly Demon Sect wore proud expressions and were laughing heartily as they chatted with their disciples. They didn\'t expect these little rascals to act in such a manner.
Stripping everything in the outer region before others came in!
Surrounding the main hall and robbing everyone who came out!
What a demeanor! These little rascals didn\'t throw away their face. Initially, they were worried about how to establish dominance among the experts present here. But, they never expected their disciples to give them an opportunity on a silver platter.
These little rascals didn\'t even let other demonic sect disciples get away…
Looking over, they can see that the disciples from other factions were already complaining about their actions to their elders. The elders from the Heavenly Demon Sect gleefully watched the other experts getting enraged as they heard about the actions of the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
They knew that there was no way no one would question this conduct. It is very likely someone would stand up and ask for an explanation. All they needed to do when someone asks is to stand firm on the side of their disciples and not budge an inch.
If these idiots wanted to fight, then they would crush them. As long as they didn\'t give in, their dominance would be established. They didn\'t need to pick a fight. The fight was already prepared, they only needed to wait for someone to jump onto the stage.
This reduced their burden a lot.
Now, it wasn\'t the Heavenly Demon Sect that needed to prove themselves. Their juniors have already done it. Now, it was the time for the other sects to ask for justice.
He he he… justice… They are demonic cultivators. Who are you asking? Are you out of your mind? You should be grateful that we don\'t surround you and rob you as well. Don\'t talk to us about some shit justice.
The elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect proudly watched the other experts daring them to voice any complaints. Even the other demonic sect elders were aggrieved by such an action.
The disciples from all the other factions had a look of anger and unwillingness on their faces. They also had heavy expectations on their seniors, hoping they would stand up for them.
But, the reality was far from different…
Even though many experts were angry about the actions of the disciples from the Heavenly Demon Sect, they also knew that the lunatics from the Heavenly Demon Sect were actually waiting for someone to jump out.
No one wanted to be the first one to jump out. Everyone knew what fate awaited the first one to jump out. Since these demons were already itching for a fight and had come over with such a strong line-up, who would be stupid enough to provide them with an excuse?
A strange silence stretched across the entire region as everyone waited for someone else to make a move.
Liang Tianye saw this bizarre scenario and couldn\'t help but chuckle inwardly. He didn\'t know how to react to the actions of these little demons. Their actions had actually aided him a lot. He was actually waiting for someone to stand out and accuse their sect.
However, even though the strange atmosphere lasted for a while, no one actually came up asking for justice. Liang Tianye couldn\'t help but curse this bunch of bastards for being sensible at this moment.
Shouldn\'t there be a hothead at this moment?
What happened to the elders from other demonic sects?
What about those righteous warriors clamoring for justice?
Shouldn\'t someone come out?
Liang Tianye cursed everyone internally and decided to not wait any longer. He just needs to ask about his disciple and then find an excuse to kill a few people. No need to complicate things.
"Chen Wangjie!" Liang Tianye said suddenly causing everyone to look at him.
Foodie Chen was currently talking with a few fellow disciples animatedly. When he heard the Vice-Sect Master\'s call, he didn\'t know what was wanted of him. But, he knew that he should not dally any longer.
"Vice-Sect Master!" Foodie Chen ran towards Liang Tianye and bowed.
"Did you accomplish the mission I gave you?" Liang Tianye asked not bothering to lower his voice.
"I did, Vice-Sect Master," Foodie Chen nodded in a hurry.
"Where is my disciple? Bring him here, let me get a look at him…" Liang Tianye said nonchalantly causing Foodie Chen to be taken aback a little.
"Vice-Sect Master, the last I saw junior brother was two months ago. I haven\'t seen him since then," Foodie Chen hurried to reply.
"What do you mean?" Liang Tianye shouted with fake anger. "Where is my disciple?"
"I am here, master," a voice came from amidst the assembled Heavenly Demon Sect disciples causing Liang Tianye to be taken aback.
"What!?" Liang Tianye said in reflex as he saw his latest disciple walking out of the crowd and hurrying towards him.
Looking at his disciple standing hale and healthy right before him, Liang Tianye felt as if the world had played a joke on him.
