Chapter 71

Zi Chen was wearing a white shirt. He was handsome and his eyes were clear. He exuded an aura of tranquility as he slowly walked out of the crack.

"Zi Chen!"

Chen Feng's expression changed the moment he saw Zi Chen. He was enraged. "That damned Xu Yan, he actually failed to complete his task. He's still alive."

Chen Feng's emotions were the same as Ling Yun's when he saw Zhang Haotian. They were both burning with anger.

The Great Elder was also surprised when he saw Zi Chen, but he quickly regained his composure.

The three Elders looked at the crack calmly. Two of the three future Sect Leaders were enraged as they stared at the crack, waiting for their people to appear.

However, something unexpected happened in the next moment. After Zi Chen appeared, the huge crack began to tremble. The space distorted once again, and after a few breaths, the black crack disappeared.

There was only one explanation for this. There were no more humans inside.

"What?"

At that instant, both the elders and the three future Sect Leaders were startled.

When they entered, there were hundreds of people, but now, less than a hundred people came out. Moreover, none of the true experts from the Battle Martial Ancestor and the Nimbus Martial Ancestor came out.

"What's going on?"

There were dozens of experts who did not come out. The three elders could no longer remain calm and began to ask questions.

"It's the people from the Battle Martial Ancestor. They killed everyone."

"It's Zi Chen. Zi Chen killed the ten disciples of the inner sect."

"Reporting to the Elders, Ling Chen led the people from the Battle Martial Ancestor to set us up and kill everyone."

"Zi Chen and Zhang Haotian killed Zheng Hua and the rest."

"Reporting to the Great Elder, Zi Chen colluded with people from the outer sect and killed his fellow disciples."

…

The crowd complained one after another. The scene was extremely chaotic. Everyone was talking excitedly, and the three Elders seemed to have understood something.

"Zi Chen colluded with Zhang Haotian and used a vicious scheme to harm the ten disciples of the inner sect. He also killed many innocent brothers and sisters. I hope that Grand Elder will uphold justice."

A disciple of True Energy Stage Eight walked out and pointed at Zi Chen. He had provoked everyone in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, and now that he had come out, he was the first one to complain.

"That's right, Zi Chen harbored evil intentions. For the sake of a Thousand Year Elixir, he didn't hesitate to kill everyone." Another disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor pointed out.

"Elder, please uphold justice. Zi Chen is harboring evil intentions …" One by one, the disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor appeared. Relying on the presence of the Grand Elder and Chen Feng, they began to casually slander Zi Chen.

Logically speaking, there was no enmity between the two sides, so there was no need for them to do this. However, Zi Chen's limelight in the Spiritual Herbal Garden was too great. Moreover, he appeared to be righteous and affectionate. On the other hand, they became heartless and were pointed at by others. Therefore, when they came out, they were jealous and wanted to harm Zi Chen.

Everyone's accusations made Zi Chen the target of public criticism. Lin Xue was so angry that her face was ashen. She clenched her teeth and wanted to bite these people to death. Su Mengyao, on the other hand, was very calm. She was even calmer than Zi Chen.

The Grand Elder and Elder Ge's faces were gloomy as they looked coldly at Zi Chen. Ling Yun and Chen Feng's gazes were also very unfriendly.

"Elders, it's not like that. Ling Chen used a thousand year old Spiritual Herb as bait to lure us into the valley. Then, she attracted hundreds of vicious beasts to kill us. It was Zi Chen who killed the Xiantian Demonic Beasts and saved us. Otherwise, the people of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor and Xuan Martial Ancestor wouldn't have survived."

Just when the situation was unfavorable for Zi Chen, Muyi suddenly walked out and defended Zi Chen.

Zi Chen's eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Ling Chen is a wolf with evil intentions. She plotted against everyone, even her own sect's people." Liang Guang also walked out.

"Three Elders, don't listen to their nonsense. If it wasn't for Zi Chen, we would already be dead. At this time, we should investigate Ling Chen." Lu Peng also spoke up for Zi Chen.

The three of them were very important existences. Their words were far more effective than others. After that, several disciples who had fought side by side with Zi Chen spoke up for Zi Chen.

In an instant, Zi Chen became the focus of attention. Almost everything that happened in the Spiritual Herbal Garden was related to him.

There were many important people who testified for Zi Chen. In an instant, everyone's spearhead turned to the Zhan Martial Ancestor.

"Where is Ling Chen?"

Elder Ge's face was cold. Hearing everyone's words, he finally understood why the disciples on his side were divided into two groups.

"Ling Chen is dead. His head was chopped off by Zi Chen." A disciple said loudly, looking very proud.

"Zi Chen again?"

The three Elders looked at Zi Chen again. At this time, Zi Chen's aura was restrained, and Abdomen's aura was sealed. There was no trace of aura, so they couldn't see anything special.

Zi Chen became the focus of attention. He was praised to the top of the mountain. At the same time, he also became the target of public criticism. Many people bore grudges against him, so much so that no one cared about Zhang Haotian, who had killed as many people as Zi Chen.

Zi Chen didn't defend himself. He didn't need to. He had already thought of this. Almost everyone in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor was on Zi Chen's side. Zi Chen didn't expect them to speak up for him. If they had a conscience and didn't say anything, it would be the greatest help they could give him.

"Ling Yun, what exactly is going on?"

Elder Ge turned to look at Ling Yun, whose expression was extremely ugly. Obviously, he didn't know about this matter.

"Elder, I'm not too sure about the details. However, there are many suspicious points in this matter. We need to investigate thoroughly …" Ling Yun braced himself and said.

"Hmph!" Elder Ge snorted coldly. "I'll settle this with you when we get back."

Elder Zhang from the Xuan Martial Ancestor spoke at the right time. "If that's the case, we should go back and ask carefully. We must have an explanation. We must not let go of who is right and who is wrong.

As for now, let's see what their harvest is. "

Elder Zhang's voice was indifferent, but his tone was very cold. There was a sense of determination in his voice. My disciples can't die in vain.

The disciples of the three sects separated and took out spiritual herbs. These were used to exchange for contribution points. It was also to determine which of the three sects had the most harvest and who was the biggest winner.

Among the three sects, the Battle Martial Sect had the least number of disciples. Many of their disciples' Spirit Herbs had been snatched away. Although there were a few outstanding disciples who took out a lot of Spirit Herbs that made people's eyes light up, compared to the other two sects, whether it was in terms of quality or quantity, they were much worse.

There were more than a hundred spiritual herbs scattered around.

Among them, there were twenty spiritual herbs that were more than five hundred years old, which made people's eyes light up.

Next was the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Almost all of the spiritual herbs on this side were gathered on Zi Chen's side. Miao Kong, Lin Xue, Su Mengyao, and Zi Chen all took out five spiritual herbs that were more than five hundred years old. The dense spiritual energy and the sparkling spiritual herbs made everyone's eyes light up. There were more than twenty spiritual herbs in a row.

Next, the other disciples also took out spiritual herbs. Among them, there were also five hundred years old spiritual herbs. The total number was more than two hundred. Among them, there were more than fifty five hundred years old spiritual herbs.

The Great Elder was very satisfied. Chen Feng, who had a gloomy expression, also nodded his head. His expression relaxed a lot.

"You're going to lose."

Chen Feng was very confident. Ling Yun's expression was very ugly. Their defeat against the Martial Ancestor was already set. As for Wu Hong, he was very calm. He even had a smile on his face. This was because someone had secretly told him that his side would definitely win.

Next were the disciples of the Xuan Martial Ancestor. Once Muyi took out his item, it was a dazzling light. He took out more than ten five hundred years old spiritual herbs. Next, Liang Guang, Lv Peng, and the others did not lose out. The other disciples of the tenth floor also took out a lot of spiritual herbs.

The disciples who had fought side by side with Zi Chen all had great harvests. At this moment, their items were naturally extraordinary. Just the five hundred years old spiritual herbs that they took out were comparable to those of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

Chen Feng's expression became gloomy again. The Great Elder's expression was also very ugly. Next, the Xuan Martial Ancestor's spiritual herbs were all taken out. The counting was completed.

The Xuan Martial Ancestor also had more than two hundred spiritual herbs. Among them, the five hundred years old spiritual herbs were ten more than the Nimbus Martial Ancestor's.

In this trip to the Spiritual Herbal Garden, the Xuan Martial Ancestor had won.

The three elders were not sore losers. At this moment, they were ready to announce the winner. At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded. "Three elders, wait a moment."

The elders turned their heads and looked at a disciple. This person was the only True Energy Stage Nine disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. He was wearing a blood-stained white robe. After respectfully bowing to the elders, he turned his head and looked at Zi Chen. He coldly said, "Zi Chen, where is your thousand year spiritual herb? Why didn't you take it out?"

"Thousand year spiritual herb?"

Everyone was in an uproar. Only now did they remember that Zi Chen had subdued the giant python and obtained the thousand year spiritual herb. However, he did not take it out today.

Chen Feng and the others could not help but pay attention to the issue that they had overlooked. Zi Chen had killed a Xiantian level demonic beast.

The three elders all looked at him, including the three future sect leaders. Zi Chen was once again the center of attention.

"That's right, Zi Chen. What are you thinking? Why didn't you hand over the thousand year spiritual herb?"

"Zi Chen, you are really selfish. The Nimbus Martial Ancestor is about to win, but you secretly hid the thousand year spiritual herb. How can a person be so selfish?"

"That's right. How can a person like you be the disciple of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor?"

"Hand over the thousand year spiritual herb and let us win. We will get double the contribution."

"Don't be so selfish. Otherwise, you will be unlucky."

A group of disciples stepped forward and shouted at Zi Chen. These people were very weak, only at the seventh or eighth layer. If it were not for the elders present, they would not even dare to fart. However, at this moment, they were aggressive and righteous.

For them, although spiritual herbs were strong, they were not easy to absorb. It was far less cost-effective than the contribution points of True Qi Dans. However, not everyone handed over their spiritual herbs. There were always disciples who secretly hid some.

This was because in this world, there was not only one Nimbus Martial Ancestor. The outside world was very vast. The contribution points of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor were not shared across the entire continent.

There were many disciples who secretly hid spiritual herbs. At this moment, they were all questioning Zi Chen. They were righteous and aggressive.

"When did the Nimbus Martial Ancestor stipulate that disciples must hand over all their spiritual herbs?" At this moment, Su Mengyao indifferently said.

"How shameless. Did you all hand over all your spiritual herbs?" Lin Xue angrily said.
