Chapter 45: Heavenly Demon Sect [3]

Sometime later, Lucas and the rest started descending from Jeric's pavilion. And before they did it, Jeric had already hushed his disciples to not let a word of what happened slip.

Before they could descend to the ground and be visible to the cultivators below who wore black robes, Lucas left a word to Jeric.

"I'll still follow you, so don't worry if you don't see me in the next few seconds."

Jeric was simply stunned, and as he was unable to respond, Lucas had already vanished.

"So that was what he meant."

Lucas activated an invisible spell as he thought that it would be somehow bothering him.

When everyone finally descended, every cultivator in the area, who were all core disciples, approached Jeric, clasping their hands.

"We greet the Sect Master!"

Jeric just nodded and continued walking. Everyone else made a path for him to walk down.

Even though they were still curious about what happened, they couldn't bring the courage to ask Jeric, as they were only mere core disciples. They should wait for themselves to become an elder before being formally associated with him.

Well, there are some instances where a disciple can have a talk with the Sect Master, but it will be limited to the pretext that the Sect Master wanted to talk to them.

When everyone finally dispersed, Lucas returned to his casual robe then deactivated his invisible spell.

According to what he saw, Jeric is a well-regarded and respected Sect Master, and because of this, Lucas couldn't help but notice some similarities between how a Guild Master is greeted in his previous world.

"You seem to have a wide range of people following you," Lucas said out of nowhere.

Jeric just nodded, but he wasn't actually proud of it.

"They were just here for the knowledge. Sooner or later, their loyalty will be proven if they want to fight for the sect. The people I gathered to attack were the only ones I trusted and were truly loyal to me in this sect."

"Don't make it sound like it's the end of the world. At the very least, you have those kinds of people. Trust is hard to earn, you know." Lucas said as if he was a wise hermit.

"You seem to be old to sound so meaningful, Young Master." Jeric casually said, as if the pressure from Lucas was finally gone.

The reason he was limited talking earlier was that he was a little bit intimidated by him. But now that Lucas has started to show some of his jolly sides, it would be rude to kill the joy.

"I am old but not mature as I have secluded myself from society." Then he giggled.

"By the way, where are we going?" Lucas asked.

"I don't have particularly in mind earlier. But after realizing that you'll be here for only a day, I think I might take the chance to show 'it' to you." Jeric said, taking Lucas's curiosity.

"What's the 'it'?" Lucas asked.

"Please follow me to the Treasure Hall."

And as inevitable as it seemed, Lucas just sighed and followed him. There were still cultivators following their backs, and as Lucas looked at the colors of their robes, all of them had white linings.

'Perhaps they were Sect Elders. They also seem to appear older than the general population, ' Lucas thought.

After some time, they all arrived at the Treasure Hall, which had a wide door that was always open.

"This is the Treasure Hall? But why is it left open?" Lucas asked on a whim.

"It is because there were disciples who needed to exchange their points for treasure. Let's say it has a purpose as a shop for disciples." Jeric explained.

"But what if things get stolen?"

"Every treasure has display glass that can't be destroyed by a mere punch or even the strongest attack in the whole realm. Let me inform you, Young Master, our sect has a long history, so the treasure gathered and prominent here isn't simple. We used the best security to provide the best environment for the disciples."

"I see... that makes sense. But how will you open some?"

"By robes. If the display glass can recognize you as someone who's approved to open some, the display glass will open."

'Then, only those who are watching over them must be trustworthy. And also, if it's by a robe, then this place is only for core disciples, and there's a different Treasure Hall for inner and outer court disciples.' Lucas thought as he soon realized that the cultivators inside only had the same robes to wear.

As soon as they set foot inside the Treasure Hall, everyone inside stopped what they were doing and greeted Jeric.

"We greet the Sect Master!" Everyone had clasped their hands.

Jeric just nodded and before he could introduce Lucas, Lucas cut him.

"Don't mind me. Let's continue." Lucas whispered.

Jeric was just left with no choice and just nodded to Lucas. And as everyone was still looking at them, they could only be curious about who it was that seemed to be close to the sect master.

If it seems like that, does it mean that they have equal standing since the sect master doesn't really walk with a person beside him unless they are also a sect master from other sects?

'Who is that handsome?'

'That bastard? Just look at how proud he is? Is he a child of the sect master?'

Everyone was curious about Lucas's identity, but Lucas just didn't mind it. Even their curiosity resulted in gazing at him.

"So... where should we go, Jeric?" Lucas asked and everyone heard about it.

'He called the sect master's name casually?! Now that I've fantasized about him, I shouldn't dare to talk to him later!' Females who saw Lucas had already removed the fantasy of having a conversation with Lucas since they realized that Lucas had equal standing with the sect master.

"We shall go to the highest floor."

"Okay."

Then, after climbing a long spiral staircase, they finally arrived at the uppermost floor of the Treasure Hall.

Jeric just continued walking and went straight into the end of the whole floor. When he arrived there, there was only one object there covered with wide cloth. Also, the sect elders behind them earlier didn't follow them as they were restricted from entering that floor.

"What's this?" Lucas asked.

"This is a treasure of the treasures of the sect. Ever since, 1000 years ago, the ancestor left this treasure before he ascended. But for some reason, no one knows how to use and take the stone."

"Stone?" Lucas asked.

"It will be better to let you see it," Jeric said and then finally removed the cloth.

As he removed it, it revealed a display glass with an item inside. It appears to be a small dagger but with the hilt of a sword. However, the catch is that it was stone into a small rock as if cemented in it.

Jeric started by opening the display glass and taking what was inside. He handed it to Lucas afterward.

"Since I can't waste my time, I want to at least try to understand how this treasure became the treasures of the sect," Jeric said.

Lucas just looked at the item on his hands, and as he was curious what it was, he instinctively pulled the dagger from the stone, and in an instant, it was removed.

"I knew it would work! I knew you could take it, Young Master!"
