Rebirth Of The Villainous Crown Prince

The core members of the Heavenly League were at first confused when they were called out of the banquet hall.

But then they were bamboozled when the Elders suddenly began to check their belongings and their robes. 

It was as if someone among the disciples had stolen a precious treasure of the sect and now they were being treated as suspects.

One of them tried to ask Yuan Shuchun what was going on but ended up getting shut up by her. 

She seemed unusually strict and stressed.

Afraid of her having a mood swing, which was no less than a death threat to them, the disciples unanimously decided to keep quiet and follow what they were being told to do.

...

There were only half of the elders present at the scene, the rest of the elders, including the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders, had gone out to round up the remaining disciples on the First Peak who were present at the base when the assassination happened.

They wanted disciples to get into one place.

Thus, they were sending the disciples to the Resource Hall, while the elders who were in the Heavenly League's Headquarter building were checking the core members.

But what they didn't expect was the load of the work. The Elders in the hall were having trouble noting down the unique things or marks on the disciples, while the ones outside were having trouble in getting all the disciples to the Resource Hall, after all, the First Peak is the main peak, thus it's the most crowded peak of the Gracious Sword Sect.

And at this time, when the elders were already stressed about the little time they had in their hands, they saw two disciples come out of the banquet hall. One of them was Jun Xie, while the other's identity was unknown to them.

Yuan Shuchun was first to recover from the surprise, and asked Jun Xie, "Senior Brother Jun, what are you doing here? DIdn't we discuss that you would stay inside the hall to keep an eye on the disciples? And why have you brought Junior Brother Fang Chen?"

Everyone's attention was now on Jun Xie, who had already expected the questions, "Something unexpected has happened so I had no other choice but to come out and inform everyone about it."

"What has happened?" One of the core elders asked with a slight frown on his face.

Jun Xie shook his head, "I can't tell right now, first we need to call Sect Leader Su, Grand Elder Xuan, and Master here. Also… we need to get the disciples out of here."

"What?" Yuan Shuchun had a confused expression on her face as she continued, "What are you trying to say? We can't waste any more time, you know that right? Don't delay everyone for nothing."

Jun Xie was about to say something, but Ye Tian Yun interfered and said, "Senior Sister Yuan, this is very important, please call the other elders here right now, the more we delay, the fewer chances of everyone's survival."

Yuan Shuchun was surprised at his words, and at this time, one of the elders asked, "Who are you, boy?"

Ye Tian Yun cupped his fists and said, "I am Fang Chen, Elder."

"Hmm," the Elder nodded and said, "The Sect Leader and Grand Elder are doing important things right now, we can't disturb them. If you have anything to say, just say it here right now, it will save time more."

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Elder, the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders are most probably trying to gather all the remaining disciples on the First Peak who are not inside the building. However, it will be of no use, and just like it's giving you a headache, it will be much harder for them to find out the ones who they are looking for."

Most of the elders were surprised at his words. To be able to deduce this much, disciple Fang Chen in front of them definitely knew what was going on, and wouldn't try to waste their time, unless he himself was one of the Sleeper Cells.

"Why should we trust you?" The Elder asked, clearly not wanting to take risk of trusting Fang Chen. After all, everyone inside the hall, especially the new Inner Court disciples were under heavy suspicion and everyone was wary of them. Because anyone of them could be a Sleeper Cell in disguise.

Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "Elder, your suspicion is right, however, this is also the reason why I want to have the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders present at the scene."

"Hmm," the Elder pursed his lips then turning towards one of the elders beside him, he ordered, "Go and call everyone here, tell them it's an emergency."

"But Elder Tu-"

"Just Go." Elder Tu frowned.

"Alright, Elder Tu. As you say."

And in the next instant, that elder had already disappeared from the room.

"Thank you, Elder." Ye Tian Yun smiled as he continued, "Please send these disciples to any other room. We can't have them here, at least not yet."

Elder Tu nodded his head and was about to gesture at them when suddenly a voice rang.

"No need."

It was Grand Elder Li, who, alongside Sect Leader Su, Grand Elder Xuan, and other elders, had already stepped inside the room.

"They are already in an illusion, they won't know what happened." Grand Elder Li then looked at Jun Xie and said, "Xie'er, don't strain yourself anymore, I will handle the disciples inside the hall."

Jun Xie sighed in relief and said, "Thank you, master."

Grand Elder Li nodded his head and asked, "What is going on here? We have only brought in half of the disciples on the First Peak to the Resource Hall because we can't announce them to gather at once. So, you better have a good reason for interrupting us because the time in our hand is not infinite."

"So tell me, what is the emergency."
