Chapter 76

"Luo Men, you framed Zi Chen. This is an unforgivable crime. You are now relieved of your position in the Contribution Pavilion." The Hall Master sat high up in the hall and announced Luo Men's punishment.

There were three groups of people who wanted to kill Zi Chen. The first group had their cultivation crippled and were expelled from the sect. Wang Meng was also expelled from the sect and Luo Men was relieved of his position. All three groups of people were punished. There seemed to be many things that needed to be investigated.

The Hall Master waved his hand. Luo Men did not dare to say anything and left dejectedly. He had tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. A position full of benefits was gone just like that.

Since the Hall Master had spoken, no matter how capable his uncle was, he would not dare to take him back.

There were only a few people left in the spacious hall.

The Hall Master's gaze landed on Chen Feng once again. He said coldly, "Chen Feng, do you know your crime?"

His voice was cold and a murderous aura appeared.

Chen Feng's heart trembled. He did not dare to speak and looked at the First Elder for help. The First Elder was someone who had killed core disciples and elders. He was impartial and impartial. If he said anything wrong, he would not be able to keep his life.

The First Elder coughed softly and said, "Chen Feng was also bewitched by a villain. He was wronged."

The First Elder's face was not red nor was he panting. His tone was calm and reasonable.

"Go to the Disciplinary Hall and face the wall for half a year. When the Sect Master returns, I will report your evil deeds and let him decide. What have you done to a dignified Nimbus Martial Ancestor? Bringing a bunch of villains to pretend to be righteous. Hmph!"

Chen Feng's face was ashen. The Disciplinary Hall was a prison with an extremely harsh environment. It was said that there was no sunlight all year round and it was extremely gloomy. The murderous aura there was far stronger than here. Many people could not stand the aura of the Disciplinary Hall and committed suicide. Therefore, the Yin aura there was extremely heavy. It was said that one could hear the cries of ghosts at night.

"Hall Master, can you give me some face and pardon Chen Feng's punishment?" The First Elder stood at the side and transmitted his voice.

The Hall Master did not even turn his head. He was impartial and said coldly, "Chen Feng is sentenced to face the wall for one year."

"You!" The Great Elder roared furiously.

"Great Elder, respect is not given by others, it is earned by oneself. Chen Feng did such a despicable thing, I did not kill him on the spot and let the Sect Leader make the decision. This is already taking into account that you have contributed a lot to the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Don't make a mistake." The Palace Leader's expression did not change, but his tone was cold.

"Palace Master, have you made up your mind?" The Great Elder's tone was sinister.

"Hmph, are you threatening me?

Men, take Chen Feng away. No one is allowed to visit him. If anyone refuses to comply and barges into the Punishment Hall, kill Chen Feng on the spot. "The Hall Master glared coldly. As his voice faded, killing intent filled the hall.

Chen Feng's legs trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground. His expression had long since turned ashen. Earlier, he was still thinking that the Grand Elder would use his connections to get him out of here. But now, once he forced his way in, his life would be in danger.

"Good, very good. The Temple Master is indeed impartial. I have learned a lot today. Farewell!" With a cold snort, the Grand Elder flicked his sleeve and left.

A moment later, Chen Feng was also taken away.

After Chen Feng was taken away and the Grand Elder left, only the Palace Master, Zi Chen, and the other two were left. The Palace Master's gaze landed on Zi Chen.

"Little guy, not bad. I have high hopes for you." The Punishment Hall Master praised.

This was probably the first time in his life that he had ever praised someone in such a manner. Even Chen Feng, the number one expert of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, had never been praised in such a manner before.

"Palace Master is too kind. Today, seeing the Palace Master's unyielding and impartial side, it is indeed the great fortune of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor." Zi Chen's eyes were filled with admiration.

"I know what happened to you. It's not your fault. As for Chen Feng and the others, they were too much. Today, I only taught them a small lesson." The Palace Master's tone softened.

"Palace Master knows?" Zi Chen was stunned.

"Of course, what kind of person is Uncle Li? What wouldn't he know?" Su Mengyao chuckled.

"You little girl, you don't have to flatter me. Even if you didn't tell me, I would have investigated this matter."

The muscles on Palace Master Li's face twitched as a smile appeared on his face. His tone was even gentler, and there was even some affection in it.

"It's Uncle Li who is so perceptive. Chen Feng is really a despicable person. And those people before, they are really …!" Seemingly recalling the scene in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, Su Mengyao's face was filled with anger.

The group continued to chat for a while. Zi Chen was dumbfounded as he watched the Palace Master, who was as decisive as a ferocious ghost, turn into a kind elder in an instant. The way he looked at Su Mengyao was more like a father looking at his daughter.

"What kind of identity does this Su Mengyao have?" Zi Chen was shocked. Even the Palace Master was so nice to her.

… …

"This Zi Chen must die. He actually has a photographic memory. His talent is really frightening. In just one year, without the help of any resources, he was able to break through to such a level. This is a huge threat to Feng 'er."

Walking out of the Punishment Hall, the Grand Elder's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"This old thing actually praised him so much. Is he going to take him as a disciple?

If so, he will be a real threat to Feng 'er. "Hearing the praise for Zi Chen in the hall, the killing intent in the Grand Elder's eyes intensified.

Walking down the stone steps, the more the Grand Elder thought about it, the more he felt that Zi Chen should be killed.

"Kill, he must be killed to prevent future troubles." The Grand Elder suddenly stopped. His figure flashed and turned into a puff of green smoke, disappearing.

After chatting with the Palace Master for a while, Zi Chen and the other two left.

Although he was very confused, Zi Chen didn't ask about Su Mengyao's identity. He just chatted with Xue Lin non-stop. But most of the time, it was Xue Lin talking while Zi Chen listened.

The three of them walked out of the hall and walked down the stone steps.

"Zi Chen, the inner disciple assessment is about to begin. Those with True Energy Stage Nine are eligible to participate. Have you registered?" Su Mengyao asked.

"Not yet."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I've been training all this time and didn't have time to worry about other things. But this time, Chen Feng is punished and has to face the wall. I have plenty of time, so I can register."

"Yes, entering the core, you can use the sect's resources freely. This is the dream of all the Nimbus Martial Ancestor disciples."

Su Mengyao said, "The path of cultivation needs to follow the rules. The worst thing is to be impatient. If you increase your strength too quickly, it will lead to instability. This will hinder your future achievements."

Miao Kong said this to Zi Chen before.

"Thank you. I know what I'm doing." Zi Chen nodded.

"Well, I'll give you the rest of the True Qi Dans soon." Su Mengyao didn't say anything else.

"Eh, that's not right. Why haven't we gone back yet? I remember we arrived not long ago." Lin Xue suddenly exclaimed. Her eyes were full of confusion.

Zi Chen and Su Mengyao were chatting and didn't notice this. Now that Lin Xue mentioned it, they realized something was wrong.

In front of him was a small stone path, with rows of trees on both sides. Behind him was a lonely stone staircase, looking bleak and desolate.

But they had walked for a long time. Logically speaking, they should be able to finish walking this path.

"What's going on?" Zi Chen was confused.

"It's very strange. Is it a ghost wall?

But it's daytime and this is the Punishment Hall. How can there be such a dense murderous aura? "Lin Xue tilted her head, not understanding.

Su Mengyao's beautiful eyes carefully looked around. No matter how she observed, she couldn't find anything strange. The steps were still the same, the trees were still lush. There was nothing strange.

Suddenly, Su Mengyao's face changed. Her beautiful face was extremely pale. She said, "Did we accidentally enter the Yuan Formation that only the True Energy Realm can use?"

"Yuan Formation?

What's that? "

"It's a mysterious spell that requires True Energy to activate. It's called a formation. It's said that it has the power to burn the sky and boil the sea. I've only heard about it. I've never seen it." Su Mengyao said.

"True Energy Realm, could it be …" Zi Chen's heart moved. He said, "Is there any way to leave?"

"No!"

Su Mengyao shook her head. Her face was very ugly. She said, "This is the path to the Punishment Hall. How could there be a Yuan Formation? It must be targeted at you. Zi Chen, quickly go back."

"Swoosh!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zi Chen was already a few meters away. He quickly ran towards the stone step behind him. However, at the place where he was standing, a sharp Xiantian Sword Qi flashed and disappeared.

Zi Chen had just run a few dozen meters when he felt a strong force coming from the stone step. Then, a solid Fist Qi hit Zi Chen's face.

"Not good, this is Xiantian Zhen Qi."

Zi Chen's face changed. He clenched his fists. As he crossed his fists, a silver light flashed. It was as if a peak Level 65 vicious beast had blocked in front of him.

"Boom!"

As the Fist Qi fell, Zi Chen flew back a dozen meters. His body was churning.

"It's you!"

Suppressing the blood in his heart, Zi Chen looked at the old man in front of him. His face was cold.

Zi Chen knew this person. It was Robben, the one who wanted to kill him in the Contribution Pavilion. At this time, Robben blocked Zi Chen's path. He looked at him coldly and said with disdain, "If it's not me, who else could it be? I didn't expect a piece of trash like you to be able to dodge two of my attacks."

The current Zi Chen was no longer the same as before. His physique was close to that of a demonic beast, and his pure Zhen Qi was close to Level 65. Facing a Xiantian Zhen Qi was no longer as embarrassing as before.

"Elder Robben, are you here to kill Zi Chen? Have you forgotten the rules of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor?" Behind Zi Chen, Su Mengyao said coldly.

"Little girl, do you have the right to speak here? Today, Zi Chen will definitely die. As for you, you better stand aside obediently. I don't want to accidentally kill you too." Looking at Su Mengyao, Robben said indifferently.

"Kill me? Do you have the guts? Even if I lent you ten guts, you wouldn't dare."

Su Mengyao changed her usual indifferent temperament and became very strong, "If I'm not wrong, this should be a Yuan Formation. The one maintaining this Yuan Formation should be the Great Elder. Why hasn't he come out yet?"

Su Mengyao knew too much, and this matter couldn't be exposed. Therefore, Robben didn't waste time and directly attacked Zi Chen.

"Chi!"
