Don't Beat the Grass to Scare the Snake

Next Morning, Nie Long went to find his Master Hierarch Skycloud, so that he could meet the Big Five. Nie Long soon reached his Teacher Hierarch Skycloud in Cloud Hall. At the Enterance of the room there was a middle aged man guarding the door. He is Venerable Flameless.

Venerable Flameless saw Nie Long comming. When he saw him, there was Jealousy in his eyes, mixed with fear. Nie Long has long noticed the thoughts of Venerable Flameless due to Haki. Venerable Flameless " Junior Brother Nie Long, I am your Senior Brother Flameless, Master is waiting for you inside. " Nie Long greeted back " Thanks Senior Brother Flameless. "

He went inside the room, he saw that Hierarch Skycloud is waiting for him inside. Hierarch Skycloud " Disciple, how do you feel, all you alright!? " He tried to sense his cultivation through his spiritual sense. But after some while he frowned. Hierarch Skycloud ' Why suddenly I can't sense his cultivation level!? ' He was slightly worried. Normally he won't pry on other people's secret or Cultivation Technique, but his disciple barely survived the Heavenly Tribulation.

Nie Long knew that his master is worried, so he quickly said " Master, I am alright. After the Heavenly Tribulation some of it's aura has been attached to me which made that others can't identify my cultivation level. Now I am 5th Stage Heavenly Star Realm. " Hierarch Skycloud shocked hearing it shocked said " Do you know!? You are the most monsterous talent I have ever seen in this life. "

Nie Long just smiled and then Hierarch Skycloud took Nie Long alone to see the Sect Master Hierarch Martialsky and the other members of the Big Five. As soon as they reached the Sect Master's building, There were four People standing and waiting for them. They are the Big Five of the Divine Feather Sect.

Nie Long greeted " Nie Long greets Sect Master and the Hierarchs. " Hierarch Martialsky " No need for the formalities, Disciple Nie Long how are you feeling now!? " But he was shocked as he cannot find any breadth from him. Nie Long " I am perfectly fine Sect Master. " As Hierarch Skycloud saw the confusion in Hierarch Martialsky's eyes he immediately explained to him what Nie Long has told him.

Hierarch DragonBlaze " It seems Hierarch Skycloud has overtaken us and had selected a Good Seedling. " Hierarch Skycloud smiled hearing this but sighed and said " It is true I am happy to find such a disciple but it is also frustrating that he is too good and I don't have anything to teach him. " Hierarchs present also sighed.

Hierarch Martialsky " Disciple Nie Long, you are the most talented disciple that I have ever seen in the history or my life time. I have decided you to be the next Sect Master seedling, what do you think? " Hierarch Martialsky asked Nie Long about his opinion but surprisingly the rest of the Hierarchs also stayed silent which means expressing their support.

Nie Long " Sorry Sect Master, I have to refuse. It is not that I looked down on this position but the Divine Feather Sect has no hope in surving anymore. " Hierarch Martialsky and the others were taken aback. Hierarch Skycloud " Nie Long, what are you saying. Apologize to Sect Master and the other Hierarchs. "

Hierarch Martialsky " No Need, Nie Long can you say to me, Why you are saying like this? " he asked somewhat in indifferent tone. Nie Long did not answer but looked at the other Hierarchs " Before I answer I want to ask the Hierarchs, Why do you think I said that? "

If it was any other person the consequences would have been disastrous but Nie Long has this privilege as a genius Disciple which warrants the Big Five's tolerance. Hierarch Linglong answered " You are saying due to fight for interest in different Factions which will make the sect Unstable. But we don't think that it will make the Sect to be Destroyed. "

Nie Long " Hierarch Linglong's Statement is right, But I am not saying that it will be destroyed due to Factional Struggle or to be precise it will not be destroyed by Factional Struggles alone. " Hierarch Skycloud " Nie Long what do you mean!? " He had sensed that there was something Nie Long is trying to unveil before them.

The rest of the Big Five also got attracted to his statement. Nie Long " The Divine Feather Sect, it is the weakest of Divine Sects in the Draconic Ruins Realm but it is still a Divine Sect. Then have the Hierarchs have ever thought why there is relatively less Factional Trouble in other Divine Sects compared to Divine Feather Sect. " This question made them think.

Nie Long continued " Is only Divine Feather Sect has different Factions, Is only Divine Feather Sect has various powerful families competing for interest. Is only Divine Feather Sect family disciples are trying to use any means necessary to destroy their Rivals. If not then why Divine Feather Sect is facing that situation!? "

Nie Long's each and every question made the Hierarchs alarmed. They may not have taught it before but once they got a clue they can think the crux of the problem. Nie Long " Let me say it to you. Because the Divine Feather Sect's enemy has infiltrated to the very high level and destroying the Sect from Inside out. "

As soon as he said that the Hierarchs present has their expression turned grim. Hierarch Martialsky asked " Is it your conjecture or do you already knew the criminal!? " His tone was very low but anyone could feel the anger behind that low tone. Nie Long said " I can identify the main accused, but I don't want the Hierarchs to take action. There are some plans that I have which will be affected. And I can tell you why I knew all this after I prove the main Accused. "

Hierarchs nodded, they also felt odd. Why the new disciple knew so much about their Sect than they do. But they knew it is not time yet to ask those questions. Nie Long asked Hierarch Linglong " Hierarch Linglong, can you call your Grandson Long Tianming for a meeting with you alone were the Hierarchs will watch your conversation. " None of them who present are fools. They immediately understood who is the traitor among them.

Hierarch Linglong " Are you saying my Grandson is the Traitor!? " Her face is so ugly. She also felt anger on Nie Long. Nie Long just smiled " I will prove it to Hierarchs. Then you will knew everything. But as I said after knowing the truth no matter what. You must not take any action immediately. I know Long Tianming is the true Culprit but I am not sure how many supporters that he have are loyal to the Sect and how many of them are our enemies infiltrated with his help. "

Nie Long " After all we must kill the Snake, We must not beat the Grass to Scare the snake. "
