Chapter 36: Misunderstanding (2/2)

A guy stood up and pointed his finger at a guy and shouted.

”Elder, I saw him entering that cave filled with beats”

The old man looked at the person who was pointed out.

The pointed out person stood up.

”It's true I entered the cave. But I never saw that corpse and also I'm not the first person to enter that cave, I saw him entering before me!” He pointed out another guy.

”What!? I didn't even enter that cave, how did you see me?” He asked.

”It was definitely you and him” another guy stood up and said to that guy and another guy.

The blaming on others started! Everyone pointed out different persons. It was very difficult to find the murderer.

”If the person tells the truth then the sect will reward them with a Blood Boiling pill!-- you all should know the value of it and if the person from this said the truth, then the sect will allow you to get the permission to enter the 2nd test,” the old man said to the failed people.

The crowd was silent… Everyone knows the Blood Boiling pill value! It was one of the best pills for the Blood Condensation Realm people to jump stages and get into the higher level of the Blood Condensation realm! And if any late-stage of Qi Condensation takes that pill then they have 40℅ chances to breakthrough in the Blood Condensation realm. It's a priceless treasure!.

After some time a guy lifted his hand high. The old man and everyone noticed.

”I- it was m..me who entered the cave first,” he said with a frightened voice.

”Ohh, what did you see after entering the cave?” the old man asked.

”I- it was filled with beasts corpses and it appeared suddenly like it was hidden for some time...and I didn't see that corpse before,” that guy said.

The old man looked at him and called him.

”Come here,” the old man said. And that guy slowly walked near the old man.

”Do you know? I hate people when they lie!” The old man said calmly. And that guy's legs became soft, he was already scared and now after hearing the old man his courage was shattered.

”I- im sorry,” he said with a strange expression. His face was like he was about to cry.

”Now tell me, what happened?” the old man asked.

”When I first entered the cave, this corpse was lying in the middle of the cave but I only took 3 badges and moved away from there without touching him,” he said seriously.

The old man gazed at that guy, even though he got 3 badges he lost them-- trash.

”Okay, got it you can leave,” the old man said. That guy nodded and returned to his place.

The old man told something to the outer sect disciples and disappeared.

”Quite old man said he will bring the physician here” one of the outer sect disciples said.

Du Chan was bored by this drama. It was nearly impossible to find it's him who killed Bai Ning Han. Logically he didn't kill him, he died by entering his body. Even Du Chan was confused because of it. He didn't remember how Bai Ning Han died but he got his memories and his control over his body back.

”Well, anyway. I don't care about it” he thought, he doesn't know how, but he doesn't need to know so he stopped thinking about it.

Some time passed.

The old man returned with a man. That man looked middle aged, he was wearing green and black robes. He was one of the physician of the sect.

”This is the guy, how did he die? And also who killed him” the old man said to the physician.

The physician nodded and came near the Bai Ning Han corpse and checked it in front of everyone.

”Hmm, it looks like no one killed him. It just his soul left his body” the physician said calmly.

When others heard the physician they didn't understand anything but when the old man heard him he came to realise how Bai Ning Han died.

”Okay, I understand,” the old man said.

The physician nodded.

The Jiang Twins were shocked, they didn't understand what happened.

”Old man...what happened, how did he died?” Jiang Chong asked.

”Nothing, this guy's soul must have entered samsara! That's the only possibility. No one can take away the soul from their body until heaven is involved in that, so you may not understand now but you will later after reaching higher realms” the old man said mysteriously.

Everyone didn't understand a single thing the old man said. Higher realm? Samsara? Heaven? Those are very complicated things that mortals don't need to know and understand them! Those are different levels from their understanding.

”Okay…” Jiang Chong said disappointingly, learning about higher realm matters brings problems so leaving it like that is best.

”Okay, we will take care of it. You guys go and rest for tomorrow's exam,”the old man said.

Du Chan who was sitting smiled but laughed hard inside.

'Hahaha, that's clearly a misunderstanding, haha'
