《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 64: Responsibility?
Advertisement
"It's as you can see," Lin Xiao started even before Su Hei could start. "These two come to bother me in my house and attack my brother, so I retaliate and teach them a lesson."
"Lies! You're the one who wants to kill us when we come over to tell you about the competition that the representatives will hold."
"Competition?" Lin Xiao sneered. "I don't know anything about the competition!"
"You're lying!"
"I'm not!"
The two elders at the back chose not to participate in the youngster's debate and chose to stay behind. Only Elder Su's face was still as dark as coal. It was clear that he was thoroughly angry because of what had happened. If only they were not in front of the other elders, he would have lunged and kill Lin Xiao.
Of course, it was only if he could.
The three elders were only at the same rank as Su Hei. With Su Hei already wounded, Lin Xiao was confident that at the very least, he could run.
Trying to catch him here?
They would be seeking trouble.
"You bastard! You purposely kill my son and now you want to shriek away from responsibility?"
Lin Xiao looked at Elder Su with dark face. "Kill him? Do you see me with your own dog eyes that I kill him? He clearly falls off the cliff on his own when I'm still far away! You don't want to believe me? I'm not the only one who see him fall with my own eyes!"
Behind them, across the cliff, there were already several villagers standing there. They were stunned and then looked at each other. What Lin Xiao said was correct. When Su Han fell into the cliff, Lin Xiao was located far away from him.

Unless Lin Xiao had reached Golden Core Stage and could attack from a distance away, it was impossible for him to be the one to kill Su Han.
And accusing Lin Xiao had reached Golden Core Stage? They would rather believe that the three sects launched an attack at their village rather than believing that Lin Xiao had reached Golden Core Stage at his young age.
However, they also didn't dare to speak.
They didn't want to offend the elder.
"What? Do you really think that they will speak for you?" Elder Su asked in rage. His body was boiling with Qi.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Do you really think that I couldn't get away from you, Elder Su? If tomorrow Red Village come here, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Red Village!
Their Village was not the only one living in this area. While Red Village was located quite a distance away, they could reach that place in just a day's time. If Lin Xiao informed the Red Village about the appearance of the sect's representative, it wouldn't be a surprise if they came here and asked the representative to take them in too.
Elder Su flared, "You dare?!"
"Try me."
By this time, Lin Xiao no longer looked like the usual playful youth. His eyes were filled with rage and determination. He never had any attachment to this village as no one truly cared for him. Only a few of them treated him normally while the rest would rather make things difficult for him.
Why should he feel bad for them?
"You ungrateful bastard. You…."
"Stop it, Elder Su." Elder Xu stepped forward and stopped Elder Su from attacking the young child. He looked at Lin Xiao with meaningful gaze. "You have seen for yourself that Su Han boy fall down on his own. Lin Xiao is far away from him."

"Elder Xu!" Su Hei was shocked. Why did this elder chose to side with Lin Xiao at this time?
"He must be tampering the tree!"
"Did you see me do that?" Lin Xiao asked with a sneer. "I'm the one who use the tree the most. If I'm tampering it, are you saying that I'm purposely trying to make myself fall to the cliff?"
Elder Su was stunned. Now that he thought about it, what Lin Xiao said was correct. if Lin Xiao truly tampered the hanging roots, it meant that he was trying to kill himself. After all, the one who used the hanging roots the most was Lin Xiao.
"You're lying! You must have tampered all of them!"
"Idiot!" Lin Xiao spat out and refused to talk with Su Hei again. Since when did this hunting squad leader turn stupid?
He felt that his intelligence would be insulted if he stayed and argued with Su Hei any longer.
If Lin Yun or Wenren Yu knew what he was thinking, they would surely say:
'You're already stupid.'
"You!"
"What? Still wants to make me guilty? Don't blame me for abandoning the village if you continued with your nonsense." Lin Xiao's expression was cold and unfeeling. If one didn't know better, they would think that it was Lin Xiao's usual face. He looked scary and domineering at this very moment.
Elder Su was stunned. He still wanted to convict Lin Xiao guilty for what he had done, but the villagers here were already restless. They were staring at both Elder Xu and Elder Su, trying to figure out what these two elders wanted.
Should they side with Elder Su?
Or should they side with Elder Xu?
Their mind was in chaos as no one knew what they should do anymore. It was rare for the two elders to show different opinion.
"We'll talk about this later." Elder Su finally relented. However, his body was still trembling in anger.
On the other hand, Lin Xiao acted as if he didn't care and only walked away. Behind him, Lin Yun followed without bothering to look at the elders and the villagers there. Their rude attitude would make people itch to give them a beating, but at this time, no one dared to move.

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.

The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman
