Chapter 72

Su Mengyao's white robe fluttered in the wind as she stood beside Zi Chen. Her expression was calm, and her words shocked everyone.

She was originally an expert. She had a Xiantian battle skill and was at Xiantian Realm Level Nine. Her true combat strength was even stronger than Muyi's. It was just that in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, Zi Chen's brilliance had completely overshadowed Su Mengyao's. But after coming out, no one dared to ignore her.

"This is not the same. This concerns the victory or defeat of our Nimbus Martial Ancestor. This concerns the prestige of our Nimbus Martial Ancestor."

"That's right. We could have won, but what if we lose because of Zi Chen's selfishness? Others will say that our Nimbus Martial Ancestor is a bunch of selfish people."

"That's right. As a member of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, we must fight for the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, not for our own selfishness."

Another Nimbus Martial Ancestor's' righteous' member spoke. His words were filled with righteousness, and every word he spoke was about the reputation of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

"You're not selfish. You're a bunch of trash raised by sons of bitches …"

"You're so righteous now. Why didn't you show up in the Spiritual Herbal Garden before?"

"Trash like dogs, how dare you talk about righteousness in front of Senior Zi Chen."

Many of the Black Martial Ancestor's disciples began to ridicule. Although they deliberately lowered their voices, everyone present was an expert, and naturally heard it clearly.

In an instant, these people's faces turned ugly.

All the Elixirs obtained from the Elixir Gardens this time, as long as they were taken out, would be exchanged for Contribution Points. It was not a simple competition. To Zi Chen, the use of Contribution Points could not be compared to a two thousand years old Water Spirit Flower. Even if he was given more Contribution Points, it would be useless.

Moreover, thousand-year-old spirit herbs were very attractive to Xiantian experts. Zi Chen did not want the spirit herbs he obtained to help Chen Feng break through.

"Hmph, now you're talking about righteousness. Why didn't I see you guys talking about it before? A bunch of cowards."

Su Mengyao's indifferent expression turned cold in an instant. A powerful aura emanated from her body. She said, "Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak to me?"

Ninth level true energy was so oppressive that the others found it hard to breathe. Only the ninth level true energy cultivator from before was still holding on.

At this moment, a tyrannical aura similar to that of a Level 65 Vicious Beast rushed over. Zi Chen's eyes turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The latter's face changed drastically, and he staggered back, looking very embarrassed.

Laughter and mockery rang out from the side.

Zi Chen's popularity in the Black Martial Ancestor was much higher than that of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

"Zi Chen, are you willing to contribute the thousand-year-old spirit herb? The sect can give you double the contribution points reward."

Right at this moment, Chen Feng suddenly spoke. He just so happened to be at the critical moment of his breakthrough, and he really needed a thousand-year-old spirit herb like this.

His expression was very gentle, and his words were like a spring breeze. He was like a very competent senior brother. He didn't use his power to oppress others, but lowered his status to negotiate with Zi Chen.

"Senior brother Chen Feng really doesn't put on airs. He actually speaks like this to a scum like Zi Chen."

"Zi Chen, hurry up and agree. Senior Brother Chen Feng talking to you is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes."

Zi Chen sneered in his heart. He could already see the killing intent in Chen Feng's eyes. The reason why the ten inner disciples attacked him was because of Chen Feng's orders. Now that Chen Feng had spoken, he was even more certain that the other party needed a thousand-year-old spirit herb. Therefore, he didn't even think and decisively said, "Sorry, I don't want to hand over the spirit herb. I want to eat it like a meal."

His words shocked everyone. Eating a thousand-year-old spirit herb like a meal? He was purposely trying to anger Chen Feng.

"This Zi Chen is really strong. Eating a thousand-year-old spirit herb like a meal, haha!"

"This is a brilliant move. That Chen Feng is a sinister person."

"After offending Senior brother Chen Feng, Zi Chen is dead for sure."

"Once he returns to the sect, he will die."

Some people were happy, while others sneered. However, since Zi Chen didn't hand over the thousand-year-old spirit herb, no one made things difficult for Zi Chen. This was because the rules didn't allow for coercion.

Elder Zhang let out a sigh of relief. He found Zi Chen to be very pleasing to the eye. The other disciples of the Xuan Martial Ancestor worshipped Zi Chen even more.

"Zi Chen, if you can't stay in the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, you can come to our Xuan Martial Ancestor. Our door will be open for you day and night." Wu Hong whispered in Zi Chen's ear as he walked past him.

"When we return, we will definitely give you our winnings."

The First Elder and Elder Ge clasped their hands. Although they lost a small bet, they didn't lose much with the support of the sect. They weren't sore losers, but the key was that they lost and lost face. To them, face was much more important than the winnings. Therefore, their faces were very unnatural at this moment.

As for Chen Feng and Ling Yun, they were even more so. They handed Wu Hong two low-grade spirit stones in front of everyone.

The spirit stones were crystal clear and emitted dense True Yuan. Wu Hong accepted them with a smile and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your generous help, Senior brothers."

Instantly, the two were furious. Chen Feng didn't want to bet at first, but they ridiculed him. Now, they had to give him two low-grade spirit stones.

"If you agree to a bet, you must accept your loss." The two of them replied in a flat tone.

"Alright, when we return, everyone's spirit herbs can be exchanged for double contribution points."

As the biggest winner, the Black Martial Ancestor's Elder Zhang was very happy. After so many trips to the Spiritual Herbal Garden, the Black Martial Ancestor finally won once.

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers rang out. The disciples of the Black Martial Ancestor jumped in joy.

"Hmph, so selfish."

"Selfish, despicable person."

"This kind of person is the shame of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor."

"Lower your voice, he won't live for long anyway."

Compared to the Black Martial Ancestor, the disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor and the Zhan Martial Ancestor were much more depressed. Among them, the disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor pointed their spears at Zi Chen and whispered sarcastically.

"Hmph, these people are really shameless. They were like this in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, and now they are like this again."

Lin Xue said unhappily. If it wasn't for Zi Chen holding her back, she would have already shouted and argued with those 'righteous' people.

"Accept your fate, there are people like them everywhere. They are afraid of death, but they want to get more benefits. Every one of them has spirit herbs. This is human nature."

Miao Kong was quite open-minded. He smiled faintly, "What Zi Chen needs to think about now is how to face Chen Feng when we return."

"You are too outstanding in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, you must be careful of their little tricks." Miao Kong warned.

"Zi Chen is a genius, and his strength has increased in the Spiritual Herbal Garden. The elders of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor know about it. They will focus on training him. Who would want to go against him?" Su Mengyao suddenly said.

"Hehe, I hope so." Miao Kong smiled. He didn't refute, but he didn't care.

Zi Chen nodded.

The Spiritual Herbal Garden had closed, and the mountain peak had returned to normal. It would be at least a few decades before it opened again. The three sects were already preparing to return.

This was the biggest loss they had suffered since entering the Spiritual Herbal Garden. Fortunately, there were many disciples in the three sects, so this loss was still acceptable.

"Zi Chen, we will meet again."

The three sects left, and some familiar people also said goodbye to each other.

Muyi came, Lu Peng came, Liang Guang came, and the others who had fought together in the bloody battle also came.

"This time when we return to the sect, we must be careful of Chen Feng." Zhang Haotian warned.

"You too, be careful when facing him. If anything happens, you can send someone to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor to find me." Zi Chen also said.

After going through life and death together, they could call each other brothers. They were real brothers, not brothers like Zhao Can.

The three sects finally left.

On the way back to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, the surviving disciples of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor had already gathered around Chen Feng. They were recounting what happened in the Spiritual Herbal Garden in their most elegant language.

Although they were selfish, they were very smart. They knew what to say and what not to say.

"The ten disciples of the inner sect were killed by Zi Chen. Nine of them died on the spot. Senior Brother Xu Yan escaped by luck and successfully broke through to the Xiantian Realm."

Speaking of Xu Yan's breakthrough, Chen Feng was very surprised, but more than that, he lamented.

"Senior Brother Xu Yan broke through and came to find Zi Chen for revenge. He didn't expect the people of the Black Martial Ancestor to suddenly intervene. After a fierce battle, just as Zi Chen was about to be killed, the Xiantian Giant Python appeared and bit Senior Brother Xu Yan. Both sides fought fiercely in the lake."

They deliberately hid the part about Su Mengyao and Lin Xue, because they knew that Chen Feng cared about them. If they said that part, they would all leave and let Xu Yan kill them. Naturally, Chen Feng wouldn't let them go.

"It's a pity. Senior Brother Xu Yan is so powerful. If it was on land, he would naturally be able to kill the Xiantian Giant Python. But in the lake, senior Brother Xu Yan couldn't move freely. So after a fierce battle, senior Brother Xu Yan heavily injured the Giant Python, but he also died."

"Then Zi Chen fought the Xiantian Giant Python that was heavily injured?" Chen Feng suddenly asked.

"Yes. The Giant Python was heavily injured, but it was still very strong. It swallowed Zi Chen in one gulp. But for some reason, Zi Chen didn't die. Instead, he became stronger. The Giant Python became an obedient beast."

Everyone came in full detail. They told Chen Feng all the rumors they had heard, what they thought they had, and what they purposely slandered. They talked in bits and pieces for half a day.

In the end, Zi Chen had already become a selfish traitor that colluded with outsiders, betrayed the sect, raped and plundered, and committed all sorts of crimes. In any case, he was a fellow that had done all sorts of bad things and no good, causing him to be infamous.

"This Zi Chen is too much." Chen Feng said coldly. He was very angry about Zi Chen's evil deeds.

"Senior Brother, please punish the evil and give the Nimbus Martial Ancestor a beautiful blue sky."

"That's right. Give our Nimbus Martial Ancestor a beautiful future.

This kind of evil person must be killed. "

Everyone begged and expressed their righteous sentiments.

A day later, the Great Elder also learned about what happened in the Spiritual Herbal Garden from Chen Feng. His face was full of surprise.

"We'll talk about this when we get back to the sect." The Great Elder said.

"Yes." Chen Feng nodded, then said, "But I must get Zi Chen's spiritual herb."

A few days later, everyone finally returned to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

Su Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief. Zi Chen also felt the same. Since they didn't kill him outside, the chances of them killing him inside the sect would be even smaller.
