The group saw only Calirer lift her face and prepare to say something, but the space distorted, and in seconds, they were taken outside. Langrum sighed lightly; the encounter was very brief. But after seeing the whale move, she was sure that her master’s gains would be unimaginable, and soon, they would meet again.
Langrum clenched her fists, understanding that a unique door had opened for her master, an opportunity that could change the fate of their sect. Ruri had let slip a few times in conversations that not even the whale’s name was really Goku. He certainly was someone with an unbelievable past and was in that place just passing through. If he was willing to do something for someone, unbelievable things happened, and the gains were always enormous. Langrum herself now was sure that if she, her master, and her disciple worked hard enough, taking advantage of this opportunity, they would have an extraordinary future.
After a few seconds, the space around the entire group distorted and returned to normal, surrounded by the gray mist and darkness of the prison entrance. They took casual steps forward, and their eyes met with the Elder in charge.
An unusual coldness permeated the eyes of this Elder, but he didn’t say anything. He had said that several elders, including him, would monitor the second level of the prison and protect the younger disciples. He certainly did that from the outside; he couldn’t observe through the formation, but he was in contact with the other elders.
’This Elder was chosen by the higher elders for this test outside the patriarch’s eyes. Certainly, if we hadn’t crossed to the southern region, they couldn’t have done anything. But who would be foolish enough to think we would stay back and be afraid?’ Bruno said lightly.
’The deaths of the disciples and elders have already been noticed from outside. But not even he can believe that we did it, let alone the others’ Alm commented, laughing coldly.
A few minutes later, a hundred and thirty disciples were in the cave, looking strangely at their numbers. Where were the others? They wondered, expecting the others to return without understanding the delay; but in the next second, the Elder snorted dryly, and everyone began to be taken outside, leaving all the disciples in shock.
The icy air struck everyone’s skin, and quickly, dozens of powerful auras mingled with the air, making everyone hold their breath. Again this? Did Goku pull off something even bigger? All the disciples thought quickly, bewildered. Goku was already a demon of disasters, and everyone just wanted to stay away from this whale.
When the gray mist dispersed, and everyone was back in the center of the Celestial Abyss City, no one could move an inch after realizing they were in a siege of bloodthirsty gazes.
"GOKU, YOU BASTARD! How dare you plot and kill my granddaughter; blood washes with blood!" An elder who floated in the sky enveloped in a dense and black Qi spoke like thunder in everyone’s minds.

But contrary to expectations, the whale just looked at him strangely and spoke without caring. "What? Am I in a sect of pathetic cultivators? If she died, it’s because she was mediocre. I have nothing to do with it."
Then, behind him, the Elder in charge of the test spat coldly. "How dare you deny it. You not only killed all the older disciples but also killed all the elders. I was in contact with the elders, and you clearly set up a trap with the demons to kill them."
All the disciples and the cultivators in the city who watched the show froze at the words demon. Only the more experienced elders or prestigious cultivators knew about the existence of demons in the abyss. Most evil cultivators only went to the outermost part of the abyss to mine and never imagined or saw demons, knowing only the dreadful legends told about this race. And even these cultivators felt a bit of fear deep in their minds about them.
"Hm? Don’t be ridiculous. How could someone at my cultivation level have any contact with demons or have the power to do so? Even if part of this has some truth, anything at my disposal is part of my power; isn’t that the rule of evil cultivators?" The whale spoke dryly.
The Elder in the air then laughed sinisterly and spoke. "Among evil cultivators, there are no rules; the only rule was the power of the strongest. But betrayal is something inadmissible and deserving of death no matter where."
Soon, the aura of another nearby elder sharpened like a blade. "You killed in a cowardly trap without a real fight, then made the sect burn mountains of resources uselessly. That is considered a serious act of treason! If anyone could do this within the sect, there would no longer be any sect or organization, and evil cultivators would have already been destroyed."
The whale heard this without any expression and then responded. "Cowardly trap? Are you really claiming that I did that?" He scoffed as if he were extremely irritated. "As far as I can see, many abnormal things are happening in the abyss, and this can be confirmed by everyone who returned. What evidence do you have that I did this? Just the word of this Elder, where it is already clear to everyone that I am being targeted by them?"
"Evidence? Hahahahahah," the Elder in the sky laughed evilly, then his power exploded like a bloody volcano and fell upon the center of the cultivators.
The whale didn’t move and stood there, that dense power fell like divine judgment, making even the space tremble. But... everyone saw, shocked... nothing happened. In the center of everything, the whale stood still with crossed arms, looking at the Elder with disdain as if nothing were happening.
"They just keep giving us gifts," Bruno commented mentally, feeling the Qi through the tattoos on his fists being fiercely absorbed.
A few seconds passed. Unlike before, this Elder was someone with a spiritual root in the Heaven Stage Realm, and he could clearly feel his power and laws being absorbed by an abnormal power. Then, the Elder’s face twisted on the surface, but internally, he was in extreme shock.
"You won’t admit it, great!" The Elder spoke, then his Qi changed, focusing on his fist.
At that moment, everyone who watched felt their hearts stop. Then, a light, deadly, and undefendable strike was delivered by the Elder; everyone watching from afar immediately spat blood, just feeling that energy.
