Chapter 1074

After walking out of the Arcane Tower, Zhuowen bid farewell to Huang Can in the plaza and left first, walking towards the residence of the new students. After half a year of bitter training, Zhuowen missed the quiet bamboo forest where the new students resided."I wonder how Jia Nan, Gatha, Ling Tian and Xuan Xing have been doing in the past half a year?I wonder what level their cultivations have reached? "The corners of Zhuowen's mouth raised slightly. His footsteps quickened as he walked back to the new students' residence.However, when he walked into the quiet bamboo forest where the new students resided, he immediately saw many of the new students with dejected gazes and swollen faces, as if they had been beaten up."Hmm?"Zhuowen's eyes narrowed slightly as a trace of an ominous feeling rose in his heart. This was because the majority of the new students he met along the way had swollen faces and numb gazes. What surprised him even more was that the cultivations of most of these new students had actually stagnated and did not increase at all.It was as if these new students had not cultivated at all in the past half a year, and some of their cultivations had even regressed due to some internal injuries."What happened in the new students' residence?"Zhuowen pulled a new student who had lowered his head and a face full of dejection beside him and asked with a frown.The new student raised his head slightly, his gaze filled with numbness. However, when he saw Zhuowen's face, the numbness in his eyes immediately faded away and a trace of a strange expression was revealed. Moreover, this strange expression also contained a trace of anger and hatred.Zhuowen naturally saw the emotions in the new student's eyes with a glance. What made him feel strange was why the new student's gaze would be filled with hatred when he saw him. Zhuowen did not know him at all before this."Zhuowen!You've hidden for half a year and finally appeared. It's you who caused us to be like this. It's all your fault. "Suddenly, the new student grabbed Zhuowen's right hand and shouted with an agitated expression. His voice was very loud, and the entire bamboo forest could hear him clearly. As for the other numb new students in the bamboo forest, all of them raised their heads and actually gathered towards Zhuowen like cats that had smelled the fragrance of fish."As expected, it's Zhuowen. You coward has finally appeared. Good for you, hiding for half a year and causing us to suffer.""Yes!It's all because of you. We new students have been bullied for half a year. You are the shame of us new students. ""Let's capture this sinner and hand him over to the Emperor Pavilion. Perhaps then we will be free and not be bullied again."Numerous passionate voices rang out. More and more new students gathered in the surroundings, and all of them were glaring at Zhuowen with anger in their eyes. It was as though they had an undying grudge with Zhuowen. In fact, there were even some new students who directly attacked Zhuowen.Zhuowen's gaze grew colder and colder. A towering killing intent gushed forth as he directly unleashed his killing intent. This killing intent grew more and more terrifying, and it was as though numerous terrifying gigantic mountains were descending from the heavens.The new students, who were originally in high spirits and had even wanted to take action, all revealed expressions of fear under the influence of this killing momentum. Their bodies stiffened and they were unable to move. This killing momentum was too terrifying. It was as if there was a mountain pressing down on their hearts at all times. It ruthlessly squeezed their hearts, causing them to not dare to act rashly.Putong!Putong!The killing intent grew increasingly terrifying. Finally, there were some new students who could no longer endure it. They directly knelt on the ground as their eyes were filled with terror and agony.As for the other new students, it was as though there was a domino effect. All of them knelt on the ground as their bodies trembled. It was extremely difficult for them to even move.At this moment, Zhuowen's gaze was cold and emotionless. A line of blood appeared in his eyes, containing a dense bloodlust. Everywhere his gaze passed by, those new students who knelt on the ground would all lower their heads while trembling, not daring to match his gaze.Only now did these new students realize what sort of existence Zhuowen was. He was the number one new student back then. The moment he entered the outer academy, he already dared to snatch the position of a senior. They basically couldn't afford to offend him."Now, I'm asking you a question. If you don't answer, you should know the consequences."Zhuo Wen arrived in front of the new student from before and looked down at him from above. His voice was filled with extremely cold killing intent.That new student propped his hands on the ground and knelt before Zhuowen. His forehead was filled with sweat, and he didn't dare to move."Tell me, what exactly happened in the dormitory of the new students?" Zhuowen continued asking.That new student inclined his head and stared at Zhuowen who had a cold gaze. His entire body trembled violently and he didn't hide anything as he narrated everything that happened in the dormitory of the new students.As for Zhuowen, the more he listened, the gloomier his expression became. So it turned out that the cause of this matter was because of the third pavilion lord of the Emperor Pavilion, Liu Qing.Back then at the public square outside the Cultivation Pagoda, Zhuo Wen had defeated Liu Xiang in front of everyone. Not only that, he had even snatched away Du Tao's contribution points. In the eyes of the Emperor Pavilion, this was an extremely arrogant provocation.Back then, because of Cheng Dong's appearance and the influence of the Fragrant Ink Pavilion, Liu Qing didn't deal with Zhuowen. However, this didn't mean that the Emperor Pavilion would let Zhuowen off because of this.After that, the Emperor Pavilion wanted to get back at them. Soon after, Liu Qing planned to bring people to the new students' dormitory to find trouble with Zhuowen. However, at that time, Zhuowen had already left to complete a mission. Hence, Liu Qing and the rest didn't meet with Zhuowen. At that time, the Emperor Pavilion didn't do anything out of line to the new students.After that, because of the matter with Jia Nan and the rest, Zhuowen didn't stay in the new students' dormitory for long. He once again headed to West Path City. Even after returning from West Path City, Zhuowen didn't return to the new students' dormitory. Instead, he directly went into seclusion in the Cultivation Pagoda for half a year.It could be said that during this half a year, Zhuowen wasn't in the new students' dormitory for a single day. As for Zhuowen's whereabouts, the Emperor Pavilion, who originally planned to wait for him at the new students' dormitory, finally lost their patience. Half a year ago, the Emperor Pavilion sent many people to the new students' dormitory to snatch the contribution points from the new students.Some of the more stubborn new students even had to pay the price of being beaten black and blue.Basically, all the new students in the new students' dormitory had been snatched by the Emperor Pavilion. In fact, when those people from the Emperor Pavilion were snatching the contribution points from the new students, they unceasingly clamored. The reason why they had so many contribution points was all because of Zhuowen's cowardice.For an entire half a year, the new students could be said to have suffered unspeakably. The contribution points that they painstakingly earned were all snatched away the moment they returned to the dormitory. Although there were some new students who were clever and purposely didn't return to the dormitory, it was a pity that the Emperor Pavilion's information network was extremely powerful. Those new students who were snatched away were basically recorded by the Emperor Pavilion. They weren't even allowed to hide.It could be said that the reason why the Emperor Pavilion tortured these new students was ultimately because of Zhuowen. After all, Zhuowen was the number one new student in this batch. In a certain sense, he was the representative of the new students. Since they couldn't find Zhuowen, the Emperor Pavilion vented their anger on the new students.It was also because of this reason that the new students cursed Zhuowen everywhere. The majority of the new students hated Zhuowen. If it wasn't for Zhuowen, they wouldn't be in such a miserable state for the past half a year."You all hate me?"After hearing the narration of this new student, Zhuowen glanced at his surroundings and suddenly laughed as he asked.However, no one replied. After not seeing him for half a year, this Zhuowen's strength seemed to have grown by a lot. Just the aura he emitted was enough to cause them to be unable to breathe."I know you all hate me. But is there any use in hating me?Was it me, Zhuowen, who snatched your contribution points?No. Was it me who tortured you all into this state?No.Everything you did was because of the Emperor Pavilion's actions. What's laughable is that you all actually hate me because of this. What a cowardly mindset and resolution. ""Hence, you all are destined to be weaklings. You all have no resolution, yet you still want to vainly attempt to become experts. You all are filled with self-pity and even pushed all the blame onto someone else, using this as an excuse to escape back then. Don't you all find it laughable?"After saying these words, the murderous aura on Zhuo Wen's body slowly withdrew. Soon after, he slowly walked past those kneeling on the ground and headed towards the depths of the bamboo forest.If among these new students, there was one who directed their hatred towards the Emperor Pavilion and used this hatred to motivate themselves, unceasingly strengthening themselves, Zhuowen might have acted to help them. However, none of these new students did so. Not a single one of them did so.When they encountered difficulties, their first thought was to escape or to find an excuse. For example, they weren't willing to face the Emperor Pavilion, hence, they pushed all the blame onto Zhuowen. This was a type of escape and an excuse.The new students who were kneeling in the bamboo forest stood up one after another. Their gazes focused on Zhuo Wen's back as he left. Their faces revealed a guilty and pensive expression. Zhuo Wen's words from earlier seemed to have enlightened them, dispelling the hatred in their hearts.Zhuowen's words were very correct. The one they hated shouldn't be Zhuowen, but should be the Emperor Pavilion instead. Because from their personal standpoint, what Zhuowen did wasn't wrong. The Emperor Pavilion oppressed him, he naturally had to retaliate. Could it be that they wanted Zhuowen to resign himself to death?Also, the Emperor Pavilion kept saying that it was because of Zhuowen that the Emperor Pavilion snatched them away. In fact, this reason wasn't valid at all. The Emperor Pavilion was merely using Zhuowen as an excuse to blatantly snatch the new students away.Even if there wasn't Zhuowen, the Emperor Pavilion would still use other excuses to snatch the new students away. Such an ending wouldn't change."Zhuowen!Jia Nan, Gatha, Xuan Xing, and Mo Lingtian have already returned to the dorms of the new students. Coincidentally, the Emperor Pavilion is also here today. "All of a sudden, the new student who was questioned shouted at Zhuowen's back."Many thanks for the reminder!"Zhuowen's figure turned sluggish as a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. He nodded and after saying a sentence, his figure increased in speed as he rushed towards the dorms in the depths of the bamboo forest.At this moment, in the empty space in front of the dorms of the new students, a large group of people had gathered. Within this large group of people, two groups of people were eyeing each other covetously. One side had a lot of people, about twenty plus people, while the other side had very few people, only four. In terms of numbers, they were completely unequal."Yo!I thought it was that coward Zhuo Wen who had returned.I didn't expect that the four dogs of that fellow would return. Seems like our luck isn't bad. "

After walking out of the Arcane Tower, Zhuowen bid farewell to Huang Can in the plaza and left first, walking towards the residence of the new students. After half a year of bitter training, Zhuowen missed the quiet bamboo forest where the new students resided.

"I wonder how Jia Nan, Gatha, Ling Tian and Xuan Xing have been doing in the past half a year?
