Shizun, Misunderstood this Disciple As a Hero. [bl]

Chapter 32

[Shizun, the Demon King, isn't the one who did this...]

Xiu Qiangshu was lost in his thoughts as Shi Liang created a barrier to protect himself and Xiu Qiangshu and Yun Lixin.

The disciples seemed to be moving like a puppet controlled by someone. They all had a destination in mind as they moved and led themselves to their deaths...the puppet master! Xiu Qiangshu finally realized.

"This must be the puppet master's trick, just like last time." Yun Lixin whispered to Xiu Qiangshu.

Xiu Qiangshu nodded and informed Shi Liang about the puppet master to Shi Liang.

"The puppet master?" Shi Liang thought, "You have spoken about him to me before. It does make sense now that I think about it."

"I'll inform everyone."

Shi Liang nodded.

Xiu Qiangshu walked before everyone, with Yun Lixin trailing behind him. The guests seemed oddly quiet and stiff. Xiu Qiangshu frowned.

They all looked blankly at Xiu Qiangshu and pointed their sword at Xiu Qiangshu. Xiu Qiangshu was startled and stepped back. One of the lords suddenly attacked Xiu Qiangshu; Yun Lixin stepped in before they could attack him. He stood before Xiu Qiangshu as his sword clashed with the other lord's.

"They seem to be under the puppet master's spell too." Yun Lixin grunted as he held the pressure of the swords by all the lords. Since Yun Lixin wasn't in his actual form, his powers were that of an ordinary disciple rather than a demon.

"The puppet master must be powerful to control the immortal lords and sect leaders." Xiu Qiangshu replied.

Shi Liang's back was facing the guests the whole time, so he didn't realize until he heard a commotion behind him.

He immediately helped Yun Lixin to push away the lords.

"They have been controlled too. The puppet master should've been between the guests. Shizun and Yun Lixin, you both try to find the puppet master while I hold the disciples from killing themselves. Please be quick!" Shi Liang jumped on his sword and flew toward the disciples in the open field.

If the puppet master was between the guests, it shouldn't be too hard to find. Xiu Qiangshu thought.

But before Xiu Qiangshu could scan, Yun Lixin called out, "Shizun! I think he's the one!" He yelled as he chased after the man.

Xiu Qiangshu immediately saw a man running downstairs and chased the man too.

Xiu Qiangshu wondered why Yun Lixin was so eager to catch the man, perhaps To protect Xiu Qiangshu. Or clear out his and Xiu Qiangshu's name and prove that Yun Lixin and Xiu Qiangshu weren't the ones who planned this all out?

Yun Lixin immediately switched to his proper form. His symbol and eyes glowed dark red. His body surged with power.

In a few seconds, he held the man by his collar. Yun Lixin looked at him intimately. The man seemed to be a scholar according to his clothes. However, it was easy for commoners to disguise themselves as scholars.

A few minutes later, Xiu Qiangshu finally caught up. He panted, placing his hands on his knees like an old man.

This Old man's body isn't helping, Xiu Qiangshu thought.

Living in Xiu Qiangshu's body for so long, Xiu Fenglei had forgotten how it had felt to live like an average human being due to Xiu Qiangshu's immense powers.

"Who...*pant pant* Why are you here? Who sent you." Xiu Qinangshu asked.

The man didn't reply.

"Why are you here?" Yun Lixin yelled. The man flinched and trembled under Yun Lixin's gaze.
