Chapter 31

Beside the two corpses, two badges fell out. These were the badges of inner sect disciples. At this moment, the bright red numbers on them attracted Zi Chen's attention.

"These are contribution points?" Picking up the badges, Zi Chen's eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent.

On Cao Kai's badge, there was a number three, indicating three contribution points. On Yi Ping's badge, there was a number four.

Zi Chen was overjoyed. Zhenqi surged from his fingers and he took out his own token. He swiped his finger across his opponent's token, and a three and a four appeared on his own token, forming the number "seven."

Seven contribution points.

"This, I'm rich." Zi Chen's eyes lit up as if he had found a shortcut to earning contribution points.

… …

Lin Mi did not die. Zi Chen did not kill him, but asked him to go back and report.

Stumbling along the way, Lin Mi finally returned to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor with fear.

Wang Meng had been waiting there for a long time. Seeing Lin Mi return alone and in a daze, his face changed as a bad feeling arose in his heart.

"What happened, where are they?" Wang Meng asked coldly.

"Dead, they're all dead." Lin Mi seemed to have lost his mind as he said blankly. Obviously, he was scared out of his wits.

"Dead, damn it, what happened?" Wang Meng's eyes flashed coldly.

Lin Mi stuttered and could not say a word for a long time. Wang Meng was furious. Then, he dragged the dazed Lin Mi and walked towards the inner sect.

In the inner sect, at Wang Xiong's residence.

At this moment, other than Wang Meng and Wang Xiong, there were four other inner sect disciples present. Their gazes were all coldly staring at Lin Mi.

"Speak, what happened? What happened to Cao Kai and Yi Ping, or die!" Wang Xiong's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Wang Xiong's gaze was very similar to Zi Chen's gaze. Lin Mi could not help but shiver, and instantly became clear-headed.

"Speak." Wang Xiong urged coldly.

"It's Zi Chen, Zi Chen used despicable means to kill the two of them." Lin Mi lowered his head as despair appeared in his eyes.

"Tell me the details."

"It was Zi Chen who discovered us. Then, he ambushed the two senior brothers who were talking. Senior brother Cao Kai was heavily injured while senior brother Yi Ping was lightly injured. Zi Chen used a fusion battle skill. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time. In the end, the two senior brothers …" Lin Mi's voice was trembling because of fear.

"Because my two Senior Brothers were fighting with Zi Chen, I was able to escape. I hope that Senior Brother Wang Xiong can kill Zi Chen and avenge them." Lin Mi's legs went soft and she fell to the ground.

"Where is Zi Chen?" Wang Xiong asked again.

"He's at the outskirts of the Silent Jungle, near a conspicuous mound." Lin Mi clearly pointed out Zi Chen's exact location.

"Good, very good. Lin Mi, you did well. Go and rest. Wang Meng, send him off." Wang Xiong said indifferently, but his eyes flashed with killing intent.

Wang Meng nodded and kicked Lin Mi. "Let's go. I'll send you off."

"No need. Brother Meng, I can go back myself." Lin Mi's body trembled.

"Cut the crap. Let's go." Wang Meng pulled Lin Mi away.

Lin Mi didn't beg for mercy. It was as if she had long since expected this. But a trace of madness and resentment appeared in her eyes.

"If you want to kill me, then don't blame me for being unjust. If you want to kill me, then you'll have to accompany me in death."

When she had first seen the killing intent in Wang Xiong's eyes, Lin Mi had expected that Wang Meng would kill her to silence her. But now that she had regained her senses, she had thought of such a vicious plan.

So she had told a lie.

In any case, she was going to die, so why not let these people accompany her in death? Lin Mi believed that Zi Chen had the strength to kill her.

Lin Mi was brought to the outer sect. Wang Meng had imagined that Lin Mi would scream, beg for mercy, and cry.

But she was very calm. That surprised Wang Meng a bit.

Walking out of the outer sect, the two of them arrived at a dense forest.

"Alright, let's stop here." Lin Mi calmly said.

"Oh, you know what I'm going to do?" Wang Meng looked at Lin Mi in surprise.

"Brother Meng is going to kill someone." Lin Mi was very calm. She even had a smile on her face.

"You're not afraid of death?" Wang Meng was very puzzled.

"I am."

"Then why are you smiling?"

"Yes, because I believe that brother Meng will come to find me soon." Lin Mi calmly said.

"You're courting death."

Wang Meng's eyes were filled with killing intent. He pointed his finger and a white light appeared. Instantly, it slashed towards Lin Mi's chest.

Facing Wang Meng who was at the sixth level of true qi, Lin Mi had no room to resist. He didn't have any intention of resisting. Even as he was about to die, he still had a smile on his face. That smile was a bit strange. His calm eyes looked at Wang Meng, giving him a creepy feeling.

Wang Meng didn't know what was going on. When he returned, he found that his brother had already left. Moreover, he had brought the four closest senior brothers with him.

"There shouldn't be any accidents. Brother is at the peak of the eighth level of true qi. Of the other four, two are at the seventh level and two have just broken through to the eighth level. Their strength is very strong." Wang Meng muttered. He then returned to his residence and quietly waited for news.

After Lin Mi left, Zi Chen dealt with the corpse. Once again, he sat cross-legged on the hill. In front of him was a floating lake. It was so clear that you could see the bottom. Fish were swimming in the water.

Zi Chen's heart quickly calmed down. He then began to refine the True Qi Dan.

The Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Art was operating. The surrounding World Spirit Qi and Wood Essence Qi were converging towards Zi Chen. While he was refining the True Qi Dan, Zi Chen was still absorbing the World Spirit Qi.

The same scene played out. His heart absorbed all the energy and trembled. Then, from the heart, pure energy was fed back. This energy passed through his blood and meridians and entered every part of Zi Chen's body.

His constitution was transforming, and so was his late-stage sixth level true energy.

Two True Qi Dans were consumed in a short period of time. Zi Chen's strength was fixed at the peak of the sixth level and his constitution was fixed at the peak of the seventh level.

"Hu, ha."

Zi Chen got up and jumped into the lake. He began to constantly punch. Under the resistance of the lake, Zi Chen's physical strength was rapidly depleting. After half an hour, Zi Chen had exhausted all his strength. His whole body was exhausted.

He was looking for his own limit. He was also looking for the feeling of reaching his limit.

When the last trace of strength in his body was released, Zi Chen resisted the weakness and punched out. In an instant, Zi Chen's heart began to tremble. Then, a pure energy appeared and rushed towards his limbs and bones. The strength that Zi Chen had just consumed was once again restored.

"Hu, ha."

In the lake, there was always a sound of 'ha'. The whole lake was constantly stirred up by Zi Chen's punches. Many fish fled in panic, but there were still a few that were brought up by the lake.

Time passed. Zi Chen challenged his limit again and again. During this time, he often did this action.

The old man did not come today. Half a day later, Zi Chen caught a fish and walked out of the lake. He wrung his wet clothes and then killed the fish and roasted it.

Soon after, the fragrance of the fish spread out and night fell.

"They should be here."

After eating the last piece of fish, Zi Chen extinguished the fire on the ground. His eyes flashed with a cold light and he hid in the darkness. Before that, he must look around the environment.

Wang Xiong led the four of them and didn't stop along the way. Their destination was the Silent Jungle. Just as night fell, they arrived outside the Silent Jungle.

"Be careful. This kid is very cunning. He knows how to launch a sneak attack." Wang Xiong warned.

"Wang Xiong, you worry too much. There are so many of us. It's good enough that Zi Chen didn't run when he saw us. If we count on him to launch a sneak attack, he would have run away long ago." A person next to him laughed disdainfully.

"Lin Chuan, it's always good to be careful. That kid's talent is even better than Chen Feng's. It's better to be cautious. You guys too." Wang Xiong said seriously.

"Don't worry.

I guarantee that Zi Chen won't be able to return. "The others nodded.

"Look, there are traces of fire. There are also some fish bones. The charcoal is still warm. It means that someone just left." Someone found the place where Zi Chen roasted the fish.

"There are also traces of battle here. What are these black things? Charcoal?" Lin Chuan also found the traces of battle.

Because the corpses were dealt with, the traces of battle were only a little messy. There were no traces of lightning. In addition, it was night now and their vision was not very clear. They did not notice.

"It must be Zi Chen. Here are Yi Ping and Cao Kai's tokens."

Under the moonlight, the white tokens emitted a faint light. It was discovered by the attentive Wang Xiong in a corner. Then, the other four people surrounded it.

"Damn that kid. He actually took the contribution points." Lin Chuan cursed. Then, he looked at Wang Xiong and said, "What do we do now?"

"Chase. He must not have gone far."

Wang Xiong threw away the token in his hand and said coldly.

The other four nodded and chased forward.

"They really came. Five of them came at once."

On a big tree far away, Zi Chen saw the few people on the hill through the gaps between the leaves.

They found all the clues they could find and then quickly left. Zi Chen guessed that they had gone deeper.

He quickly went down the tree. Zi Chen carefully followed behind them.

Time passed. The mountain road at night was not easy to walk on, even with the moonlight. The occasional sound of wild beasts in the forest proved that this place was not peaceful.

After half the night, Wang Xiong was the first to stop.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiong said, "We can't walk aimlessly like this. Let's rest for the night and continue tomorrow."

"Okay." The others were also tired.

"Lin Chuan, you and Qi Yuan will keep watch." Wang Xiong said.

"There are no wild beasts in this broken place. Why do we need to keep watch?" Lin Chuan, who was at Level 3 True Energy, stared at Wang Xiong.

"It's better to be careful. Zi Chen was able to injure Cao Kai with a sneak attack. It proves that he is not weak." Wang Xiong said.

"Forget it. You don't know his strength. Didn't you hear that idiot Lin Mi say that the two of them were chatting when they were attacked? And they fought for a long time."

Lin Chuan said, "If I was the one who was injured, as long as I didn't die, I would have the strength to kill him in one blow.

Fusion battle skills are nothing in front of my Level 3 True Energy. "

"It's better to be careful. Okay, rest up. Tomorrow, try to find Zi Chen." Wang Xiong said indifferently.

"I hope he attacks at night." Lin Chuan sneered.

"I also want to see what kind of method Zi Chen used to kill Cao Kai and Yi Ping," Qi Yuan said.

After that, Lin Chuan and Qi Yuan dispersed.

Although they said that they did not care, when the two of them dispersed, they became more cautious and vigilant, looking around vigilantly.

However, this vigilance slowly disappeared in the passing night. When dawn was about to arrive, even the roars of the wild beasts disappeared.

The two of them leaned against a big tree and closed their eyes. They had actually fallen asleep.
