Chapter 482: Chapter 483: Open Robbery (2nd Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

"What is this?"

As he watched the water mirror shatter, the Elder of the Task Hall suddenly widened his eyes, his face revealing a hint of shock.

"Even I cannot deduce the situation at that time. This force, unlike any ordinary dragon tribe martial art technique, actually made me sense the aura of ancient times."

The Elder of the Task Hall, his eyes flickering, seemed to be pondering over something, when he suddenly opened his mouth to Chu Fengmian.

"What exactly is this dragon tribe martial art?"

"It is like this, this dragon tribe martial art was a fortuitous adventure I once had. The power erupted from a Jade Talisman."

As he spoke, Chu Fengmian took out a Jade Talisman and handed it to the Elder of the Task Hall.

"This is the power that repelled the demon leader of the Earth Demon Sect, but it still was not enough to save Senior Brother Lei Jue."

At the moment he spoke, Chu Fengmian’s tone was feigned profound sadness, a simple act for him which came naturally.

His act was seamless, making it utterly impossible for anyone to see through any flaws in Chu Fengmian’s words.

"Is this, a protective Jade Talisman? The power within indeed matches with the power shown in the water mirror exactly."

The Elder of the Task Hall, after examining the protective Jade Talisman in his hand, believed Chu Fengmian’s words almost completely.

This kind of dragon tribe martial technique clearly was not something Chu Fengmian and his companions could perform, and the aura was ancient, even likely deriving from the martial techniques of the dragon tribe of ancient times.

Only a protective Jade Talisman refined by the ancient dragon tribe’s mighty warriors would possess such power.

"This is a protective Jade Talisman forged by the ancient dragon tribe; you must have triggered the power within, causing this force to erupt."

The Elder of the Task Hall, after observing it a bit more, threw the Jade Talisman back to Chu Fengmian.

"There isn’t much power left in here, it’s a pity that such treasures are used against mere demons."

The Elder of the Task Hall turned to look at Chu Fengmian and spoke.

"As for the matter with Lei Jue, let it pass, just hand over the items required by the task."

"Yes."

Chu Fengmian, who had already prepared, handed over a spatial ring.

Within this spatial ring were the fragments of the altar.

The Elder of the Task Hall received this spatial ring and upon opening it, his face brightened as he said,

"Good, these are indeed fragments from the Earth Demon Sect’s altar; you really did destroy one of them."

"But..."

The Elder of the Task Hall extended his hand towards the spatial ring, seemingly searching for something. Subsequently, the joy on his face faded considerably.

"This altar, indeed, has been destroyed, but do the three of you know where the contents of this altar have gone?"

"The items inside the altar also fall under the scope of the task. If you have kept them for yourselves, you still haven’t completed the task, hand over those items immediately!"

As he spoke, the Elder of the Task Hall’s voice contained a hint of murderous intent, practically threatening Chu Fengmian and his companions.

"Damn it!"

Chu Fengmian frowned, anger surging in his heart.

According to Lei Jue’s memories, their task should have been completed by simply destroying the altar.

But now this Elder of the Task Hall demanded the items inside the altar.

Clearly, the Elder of the Task Hall knew that the altar contained some items powering the magical forces and wanted to claim them directly for himself.

This was outright robbery.

That Dragon Pill was precious; to turn it over for such a so-called task was laughable.

Moreover, this assessment task had no rewards anyway, and there were no benefits for Chu Fengmian in handing over the Dragon Pill.

Chu Fengmian spoke evenly and firmly.

"Elder, all the contents of the altar are in this spatial ring. I am not sure what exactly are you referring to."

The Elder of the Task Hall, with a slight sneer in his eyes upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, retorted,

"Really don’t know? Then hand over all your spatial rings, let me check."

The Elder of the Task Hall’s words turned Chu Fengmian’s expression much colder.

Searching their spatial rings was practically demanding to inspect everything Chu Fengmian possessed.

Such a demand was utterly unreasonable; a martial artist without any secrets is like a sheep waiting for slaughter.

Let alone the Elder of the Task Hall, even the Penal Hall of Beimang Academy wouldn’t dare to do such a thing without reasons.

Although Chu Fengmian had only recently joined the Beimang Academy and did not wish to stir up trouble, it did not mean he would allow everyone to cross him.

Chu Fengmian spoke coldly.

"Elder, this is going too far."

"Impudent! Who gave you the right to speak to me in such a way!"

The Elder of the Task Hall suddenly stood up, a pressure directly aimed at Chu Fengmian and the others, bearing down on them.

"You are not even disciples of the Beimang Academy yet, not having completed even the assessment, and dare to be insolent in front of me!"

"Hand over everything in the spatial rings now! Your disrespect to an Elder is already a violation of the sect rules! All your possessions must be handed over as compensation!"

The Elder of the Task Hall bellowed.

"If you don’t hurry, I will consider your task uncompleted, and your unauthorized return to the academy as desertion in the face of the enemy, which is a capital offense! Understand?"

"Huh?"

Murderous intent surged in Chu Fengmian’s heart; the words of the Elder of the Task Hall were extremely provoking.

It even stirred a killing intent in Chu Fengmian.

"Elder Lu Ming, this task required only the destruction of the altar, right? As for the items in it, they don’t seem to be part of the task."

A female voice suddenly came from outside.

Then a figure arrived in the room almost silently.

This woman, whose realm was only at the peak saint level, seemed to have the strength to contend with Elder Lu Ming.

Although her realm was not as high as Elder Lu Ming, in terms of momentum, she was not at a disadvantage.

The Elder of the Task Hall, Lu Ming, upon seeing the woman named Bai Xuan, also showed a trace of wariness in his eyes and said,

"Bai Xuan, the affairs of our Task Hall are not for you to meddle in!"

Bai Xuan?

Hearing this name, Chu Fengmian’s eyes shifted, observing the woman more closely.

The name Bai Xuan was one Chu Fengmian had heard of in the academy, an Inner Sect Disciple ranked seventh on the earthly list.

Among the Inner Sect, she was a peak figure, one who could directly advance to a Core Disciple once she survived a major life-and-death trial.

Her status in Beimang Academy was already above some of the minor elders, at least equally matched with Elder Lu Ming.
