Chapter 35

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue-robed figure appeared in the distance. He had a handsome face, a confident smile, and a faint trace of mockery on his face.

"Zi Chen." Seeing the newcomer, Wang Meng's eyes widened as he stared at Zi Chen in disbelief.

"Zi Chen, hehe, I knew you would be fine." Lin Xue, dressed in a snow-white robe, had already rushed over.

A fragrant wind blew over as Lin Xue was already in Zi Chen's embrace. "I knew you would be fine." Lin Xue's voice was choked with emotion.

"Of course I'm fine." Zi Chen smiled and hugged Lin Xue.

"Zi Chen, you, you actually came back. Where's my big brother?

Didn't you meet him? "Wang Meng didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What do you think?" Zi Chen sneered, a trace of killing intent in his eyes.

"This, this is impossible. You're just a new inner disciple. You only killed Cao Kai and Yi Ping with a sneak attack. How could you kill my big brother?" Wang Meng still couldn't believe it.

"Oh?"

Zi Chen had a trace of doubt in his eyes, but it was soon replaced by relief. "Lin Mi told you this, right?"

"Of course it was him."

At this moment, Wang Meng recalled the strange smile on Lin Mi's face before he died. That look in his eyes was as if he was looking at a dead person.

"If I'm not wrong, you should have killed him." Zi Chen said.

Wang Meng didn't say anything.

"No wonder." Zi Chen was relieved.

Lin Mi being killed by Wang Xiong and the others was completely out of Zi Chen's expectations. What was even more unexpected was that Lin Mi hid the fact that he had comprehended the Thunderbolt Finger. When Wang Xiong and the others saw him using the Thunderbolt Finger, they were shocked. Zi Chen was puzzled at first, but now he was relieved.

Zi Chen pulled Lin Xue and walked in front of Miao Kong, ignoring Wang Meng. In the future, the two wouldn't have any interactions. Without Wang Xiong as his backing, he was nothing in the sect.

"You killed my big brother and fellow disciples. Zi Chen, you're finished. I'm going to report you." After saying this, Wang Meng quickly left.

However, he did not look for the Elder. Instead, he looked for Luo Men.

"Haha, I knew that you wouldn't die." Miao Kong finally had a smile on his face.

The two of them hugged each other like brothers.

"To be able to kill Wang Xiong, it seems that your strength has made another breakthrough." Miao Kong said with a smile.

"Just a little bit."

Zi Chen also smiled and waved the token in his hand. The 74 contribution points in it were so eye-catching.

Seeing these contribution points, the three of them smiled at each other. They naturally understood what had happened.

"Come with me to exchange for a movement technique," Zi Chen suggested as the three of them walked into the sect.

"Changing footwork?" Miao Kong frowned slightly.

"That's right. Without a second-rate footwork technique, your movements will be limited," Zi Chen said.

"So it's like this. Don't worry about the footwork. I suggest you change to an offensive combat skill first," Miao Kong said.

"Offensive combat skill?"

Zi Chen was a little hesitant. He already had Thunderbolt Finger. If he wanted an offensive combat skill, it would be a waste of contribution points.

"Hehe, you can also exchange for True Qi Pills or Qi Recovery Pills."

Seeing Zi Chen hesitate, Miao Kong smiled. He then walked in front of Zi Chen and whispered in his ear, "I have a way to deal with the footwork."

Zi Chen nodded. In the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, he only had one friend left.

The three of them walked towards the place where they could exchange for contribution points.

Soon, the three of them once again arrived at the place where they could exchange for contribution points. They then entered the place where they could comprehend the rewards. Once again, they met Luo Men.

"What's the matter?" Luo Men said coldly when he saw Zi Chen enter.

"Give me fourteen True Qi Pills and one Qi Recovery Pill," Zi Chen took out the token and said lightly.

Luo Men took the token. His face suddenly changed. He pointed at Zi Chen and said, "Where did you get so many contribution points?"

"It's none of your business," Zi Chen said coldly.

"You little brat, the Nimbus Martial Ancestor's contribution points are all issued by me, Luo Men. We have never given you any. Now you actually have more than twenty contribution points. Speak, did you kill your fellow disciples?" Luo Men questioned.

"No," Zi Chen said.

"Nonsense, you killed my big brother and sneak attacked Cao Kai and the others." Suddenly, an angry voice sounded from behind the three of them. Wang Meng walked in.

Zi Chen turned around and looked at Wang Meng. He looked at Luo Men and a trace of ridicule appeared on his face.

"According to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor's rules, killing a fellow disciple is a capital offense!

Zi Chen, do you admit to your crime? "Luo Men said coldly.

"Admit to what crime, I don't know what you're talking about." Zi Chen naturally would not admit to it.

This kind of thing happened every year in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, if not a hundred, at least a dozen. Every time, they would not pursue the matter. But this time, they actually pursued him. This was naturally Luo Men's plan. Once Zi Chen admitted to it, he would immediately be killed here.

Miao Kong remained motionless, but Lin Xue quietly retreated.

"Lin Xue, where are you going?" Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded. A white-robed disciple blocked Lin Xue's path.

This person was actually Luo Mu, the senior brother who wanted to borrow Zi Chen's True Qi Pills.

Lin Xue was forced to return, there was no hope of asking for help.

At this moment, many inner disciples appeared around them. Most of them were those who had asked to borrow Zi Chen's things and were scolded by Zi Chen as idiots.

Everyone was glaring at the three of them, surrounding them.

"What do you want to do? Fight?" Zi Chen sneered with a calm face.

Miao Kong was the same, he was not anxious at all.

"Zi Chen, you killed a fellow disciple. The evidence is conclusive. Today is the day you die." Luo Men said again.

"Idiot, which of your dog eyes saw me killing a fellow disciple? Now you're slandering me. Where is the evidence? These contribution points?" Zi Chen stared at Luo Men.

"Yes, these contribution points. Tell me, where did they come from? I didn't give you any contribution points, where did you get them?"

"I picked them up."

Zi Chen was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. Every year in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, there were dozens of people who picked up contribution points. Zi Chen was not the first, nor would he be the last.

"Bastard, what do you think the Nimbus Martial Ancestor's contribution points are? Are they cabbages that you can pick up as you please?"

Luo Men was overbearing: "Zi Chen, you can't say where the contribution points came from. Naturally, you obtained them by killing fellow disciples. Today is the day you die. I hope the elders will decide."

Luo Men suddenly bowed to the back.

"The evidence is conclusive. I hope the elders will decide." The others also said respectfully.

At this moment, a red-clothed elder walked out from the back. This was a middle-aged man with a sharp gaze. As soon as he came out, he stared at Zi Chen.

"This is Elder Luo Fei." Some people recognized this elder at a glance.

Luo Fei was in the Xiantian realm and was in charge of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor's contribution points. Elder Luo Fei was one of the ten elders who participated in the assessment that day.

"What else do you have to say?" As soon as Luo Fei appeared, a Xiantian pressure filled the entire hall.

"My contribution points were picked up. I didn't kill any of my fellow disciples." Zi Chen still refused to back down.

Luo Fei's question was very clever. If Zi Chen replied that he had nothing to say, then he would have fallen into Luo Fei's trap. Luo Fei would definitely say that it was fine as long as he admitted to it. Then he would kill Zi Chen with lightning speed.

"You're still quibbling. Then tell me, where did these contribution points come from?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xiantian pressure in the hall disappeared. However, an even stronger pressure locked onto Zi Chen.

"I picked them up." Zi Chen's body emitted a faint silver light. Seven layers of Zhen Qi surged to resist the pressure.

"You're still quibbling." Luo Fei's eyes flashed coldly.

"I picked them up." Zi Chen still insisted.

"You're courting death. You killed your fellow disciples for contribution points. I'll betray you and die."

Luo Fei's eyes were filled with killing intent. His Xiantian Zhen Qi surged as if he was about to attack.

Lin Xue was very anxious, but she couldn't save Zi Chen.

This incident was obviously caused by Wang Meng colluding with Luo Men.

"Stop." Just when everyone was waiting for Elder Luo Fei to make a move, a cold voice came from outside.

The crowd parted as the number one beauty of the inner sect, Su Mengyao, walked in. Her white robe fluttered in the wind like a goddess descending. Her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Senior Sister, please save Zi Chen. They framed him." Lin Xue walked to Su Mengyao's side and held her hand.

"Don't worry. With me here, no one can frame Zi Chen." Su Mengyao's tone was firm.

"Senior Sister Su, what do you mean? Zi Chen killed his fellow disciples. The evidence is clear. When did we frame him?" Luo Men said unhappily.

Seeing Su Mengyao, Luo Fei's pupils shrank. There was a hint of fear in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

"Who did he kill?" Su Mengyao looked at Luo Men.

"He killed my brother, Cao Kai, Yi Ping, and many others." Wang Meng spoke first.

"Shut up. Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"

Su Mengyao looked at Wang Meng coldly. There was a sharp aura around the goddess, as well as a sense of superiority.

Wang Meng was the weakest here. He didn't have the right to speak to Su Mengyao.

Wang Meng was stunned. His face turned ugly, but he didn't dare to refute.

"Senior Sister, it's useless to be angry. He did kill Wang Xiong." Luo Men said.

"You saw it?"

"These contribution points are the evidence. I personally gave them out. How could he have picked them up?" Luo Men spread out his hands.

"Of course he didn't pick them up. I gave them to him." Su Mengyao said.

"What?" Everyone's face changed. They didn't expect Su Mengyao to say that, and in such a strong tone.

Luo Men and the others couldn't say a word. If Su Mengyao wasn't there, killing Zi Chen wouldn't be a big deal. But with Su Mengyao's appearance, this excuse wasn't enough.

"Elder Luo Fei, do you think it's wrong for me to give out some contribution points?" Su Mengyao didn't pay attention to the others. She turned and looked at Luo Fei.

A smile suddenly appeared on Luo Fei's gloomy face. He hurriedly said, "Of course there's nothing wrong with it. Luo Men, this is your fault. You didn't investigate clearly and accused people wrongly. Be careful next time."

After saying that, he walked into the depths of the hall and disappeared.

A storm was resolved by a few words from Su Mengyao.

When the elders saw Su Mengyao retreating, the disciples clearly felt Su Mengyao's power. They didn't dare to continue the fight.

Those senior brothers who wanted to wrongly accuse Zi Chen looked gloomy. Obviously, they didn't expect Su Mengyao to support Zi Chen. Moreover, the powerful elders were fawning over Su Mengyao.

"Xue 'er, come back with me."

After dealing with all this, Su Mengyao left. Before she left, she looked at Zi Chen with a touch of admiration on her beautiful face. "Zi Chen, you're good."

Then, Su Mengyao left with Xue Lin.

Su Mengyao's praise made everyone envious. But then, they were greeted with Zi Chen's cold gaze.

Zi Chen's gaze swept across the group of inner disciples as a cold smile appeared on his face. "Not bad, your performance today was very good. I will remember all of you."

His threatening words made everyone shiver. Only then did they remember that he was the one who killed Wang Xiong. They laughed and said it was a misunderstanding. Then, they left resentfully.

Everyone left, including Wang Meng. Only Luo Men was left.

"Exchange for Genuine Qi Pills." Zi Chen said coldly.
