Chapter Seventy-Four: The Hall Master
The Punishment Hall, on the top of a mountain, is three stories high, the main hall is blood-colored, and the body exudes a strong aura of slaughter.
I don't know if it's too heavy, it's bare, the grass and vegetation can't grow, there were once disciples who felt that some flowers and plants had migrated here in a desolate place, but they withered after a few days, and tried again and again, and finally had to accept their fate.
Since then, the intent of slaughter here has become stronger, and some disciples are even more reluctant to approach here.
Under the leadership of the two elders, Zi Chen slowly walked up the stone steps, and the ruthless aura of slaughter came to his face, making Zi Chen couldn't help but shiver.
This is the only punishment hall in the Lingwu Sect, and even if the elders make mistakes, they will be punished here.
The two elders were speechless all the way until they brought Zi Chen to the main hall. The main hall is three stories high, but it is very empty, the whole body is like blood watering, the intention of killing is like a sharp blade, cutting Zi Chen's will, this is a punishment hall, some timid disciples have made mistakes, and before they can ask questions, they can't bear this intention of slaughter, and take the initiative to admit it.
But Zichen didn't do anything wrong, so he didn't think he was wrong.
Walking into the main hall, dozens of people had already gathered here, and as his eyes swept over, Zi Chen saw a lot of familiar people, including Luo Men, Wang Meng, and many people who survived from the elixir garden, but Su Mengyao, Lin Xue, and Miaokong, who were really familiar, were not there.
"Zi Chen, are you guilty?"
Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded, interrupting Zi Chen's sweeping gaze.
Above the main hall, there sat an old man, skinny, with only a few dozen gray hairs left, his eyes sunken deep into his sockets, and his skin was full of wrinkles, like chicken skin.
"This should be the hall master, I didn't expect to alarm him. Zi Chen secretly said in his heart, surprised by the hall master's respect.
The other party was dressed in black, sitting on top of the main hall, like a huge black hole, breathtaking, and the whole person looked more like a terrible ghost who accidentally broke out of the netherworld, which made people fearful.
Zichen didn't know. Zi Chen took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"Colluding with the disciples of the outer sect and killing the same sect, and you still don't know the crime?" The hall master's voice was indifferent, but he did not suppress people with force, and the murderous intent in his tone made people shudder.
"Lord of the Palace, the ten sons of the inner gate were instructed to kill me together, if it weren't for my cleverness, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago, and killing people was purely self-preservation in desperation. Zi Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and his body was covered with Dao silver light, resisting the palace master's killing and coercion.
"Then you admit it?" the hall master's voice turned cold.
Zi Chen raised his head, stared at the hall master who was like a powerful ghost, and said: "It is rumored that the punishment hall master is as jealous as hatred, and he has killed several core disciples who have made great mistakes, if the hall master insists on asking this question today, Zi Chen will admit his guilt, but he will definitely not accept it." ”
"Hmph, Zichen, what are you not convinced, I saw you kill Xu Yan with my own eyes that day, do you dare to quibble?"
"That is, you still robbed us of the elixir?"
"You also killed the fallen wood. ”
As soon as Zi Chen's voice fell, a disciple next to him couldn't help but say.
"Zi Chen, you don't have to quibble, we have already found out the matter, and today is your death. Chen Feng also walked out and said coldly.
Zi Chen didn't look at them, he just looked at the hall master with a calm gaze, and said: "Hall master, it is true that the nine sons of the inner gate were killed by me, but Xu Yan did not die at my hands, but died in the mouth of the innate giant python, hundreds of people saw it with their own eyes, they were obviously slandered." ”
Up to now, Zi Chen didn't care about it, and said directly: "The ten sons of the inner gate relied on Chen Feng's support and did all kinds of evil, and the ten disciples actually wanted to besiege and kill me that day, which was really shameless, and when he did it, he threatened that Chen Feng was jealous of my talent and was afraid of threatening him, so he arranged for them to do it, and said that after death, he turned into a powerful ghost and didn't look for them, but Chen Feng." ”
"I'm lucky to survive in the end, but I want to ask, hall master, if I become a ****, will someone ask for an explanation for me?" Zi Chen raised his head and his voice was high-pitched.
"You fart, you talk nonsense, you spew blood. I'm going to be jealous of your talent, you have bullshit talent?" Chen Feng said angrily.
Zi Chen looked at Chen Feng, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Xu Yan died in the mouth of the giant python, hundreds of people saw it, but you said that I killed it, you can believe it if it is so reversed, but why can't I believe what I heard with my own ears? ”
"I'm only one year old, and I've gone from the fifth layer of True Qi to the ninth layer of True Qi, what kind of talent do you say I have? If I don't have talent, then what are you?" Zi Chen responded indifferently, indifferently and sarcastically.
The sound of gasping cold air sounded all around, and everyone remembered that Zi Chen was still a little guy with a fifth layer of true qi a year ago, but a year later, he had already stood at the peak of the true qi realm and became the first person under the innate world.
Chen Feng back then naturally did not have Zichen's talent.
Zi Chen's eyes turned cold, and he said: "If you want to kill someone, you must have the consciousness of being killed, they have bad intentions, and they deserve to die." ”
"You are talking nonsense, and you still hope that the hall master is in charge, dozens of people here can testify to Zi Chen, this villain, as for talent jealousy, it is pure rumor-mongering, as a dignified innate realm, how can I care about a true qi realm. Chen Feng was furious, and turned to salute the hall master, demanding impartiality.
"Hmph, a group of villains who are full of benevolence and righteousness, and pull the banner of justice, if their words can be believed, it is better to find a group of brutes, although the brutes can't speak, but they will never do anything against their hearts. Zi Chen spoke indifferently.
In today's matter, he must be strong, or he will not have the slightest chance.
The hall master glanced down and said nothing.
"Zi Chen, you don't have to quibble, we don't know who you are, colluding with people from the outer sect to kill the ten sons of the inner sect just to snatch the elixir. ”
"Yes, you are in the valley, but you have killed many sect disciples, do they want to kill you too, you have been quibbling all the time?"
"You are ruthless, do all kinds of evil, just rob us of the elixir, and kill people, if we didn't run fast, we would have died in your hands, and we couldn't testify against you here. ”
"You are a demon in the cloak of kindness, and it is really unfortunate for the Lingwu Sect to have garbage like you. ”
The others opened their mouths one after another, wanting to put Zichen to death, and their words were vicious.
"Zi Chen, you keep saying that you killed people just to protect yourself, but there are witnesses, in the valley, you killed many disciples with your own hands, is it also self-preservation?" The hall master suddenly spoke, looking at Zi Chen with cold eyes.
Zi Chen felt a sense of murderous intent rushing towards him, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, the silver light around him showed some signs of dissipation, and he was shocked in his heart, the strength of this hall master was really terrifying.
"Lord of the Enlightenment Temple, he has no witnesses, because what we say is the truth, and in the face of the facts, there is no one to defend him. ”
"We are on the side of justice. A disciple spoke.
"If there are no witnesses, who can prove that what you said is true, do you say that I believe them, or do you believe your one-sided words?" the hall master asked coldly.
The disciples sneered, as if they had seen the scene where the hall master personally killed Zi Chen.
"Hmph!" Chen Feng snorted coldly, and had already retreated.
The field is very powerless in the face of Zi Chen, and the hall master is famous for killing people without blinking, once Zi Chen is determined to be a villain, then he will inevitably be killed on the spot.
"I can testify for him. Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from outside the main hall.
"I can also prove that Zichen is innocent. Another crisp voice rang out.
Footsteps sounded, two beautiful figures appeared, Su Mengyao was dressed in white, with a slender figure, and her beautiful face looked directly at Zi Chen in the hall. Lin Xue's legs were straight, her skin was like jade, and her jade feet stepped on her boots, making a clattering sound when she stepped on the ground.
"Is it you?" Seeing Lin Xue and Su Mengyao, Chen Feng's face changed, and he didn't understand why the two of them appeared, he had obviously arranged for someone to contain the two.
"Isn't it who we are, is it those wastes you sent? Chen Feng, I used to think that you had a small belly and chicken intestines, and your heart was not bad, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable, Zi Chen had no grievances with you, but you repeatedly killed him, it was simply a villain's behavior, and it was simply a misfortune for a person like you to become the sect master of the Lingwu Sect. As soon as Su Mengyao came up, she said coldly.
"You!" Chen Feng was furious, his face was very ugly, this was the first time Su Mengyao had spoken to him in this tone.
"You're just a shameless villain. Lin Xue also said in a cold voice: "In the Elixir Garden, you asked the Ten Sons of the Inner Gate to kill Zi Chen, and now you have found these villains like you to testify, you are simply a raccoon dog." ”
The sudden killing of the two was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone looked at each other and wanted to refute.
"Don't speak, I feel sick when I hear your voice now, and under the guise of righteousness, I am engaged in something unseemly. Su Mengyao's words left everyone speechless.
"In the Elixir Garden, if there is no Zi Chen, you don't know how many times you have died, and now you are harming him in turn, it is really a bunch of wolf-hearted things. Lin Xue also reprimanded angrily.
The crowd was silent, not knowing how to refute it.
"The Lingwu Sect is a sect, it has the rules of the sect, this is not your home, and it is not what you want. The Hall of Punishment is the most sacred and just place in the Lingwu Sect, and if you lie here, you will definitely be severely punished. ”
Su Mengyao's voice was cold, and everyone trembled when she said a word, and some timid people changed their faces even more.
"There are several elders who have died here, so you can do it yourself. Su Mengyao admonished again.
The crowd bowed their heads and stopped talking.
Turning her head, Su Mengyao looked at the hall master, smiled, and said, "Hall master, you should have counted the merits and demerits." ”
The face like a terrible ghost trembled, and the hall master said coldly: "Come on, take them down and torture them carefully, and if there is anything untrue, they will be executed immediately." ”
The hall master's voice was cold, and the killing intent poured out instantly, and in an instant, the entire hall seemed to fall into an ice cellar, freezing three feet, and the killing intent was pervasive, as if the killing god was coming.
These surviving disciples are despicable people, and they are also cowardly, and a few of them even sat on the ground, with a frightened face, crawling to the center of the main hall three times and two times, and kept crying: "The hall master spares my life, I was bewitched by Chen Feng, and I was confused for a while, so I slandered Zichen." ”
"Zi Chen's life, we are wronged, we are all assigned by Chen Feng. ”
There is a second person, and when they were able to see Lin Xue and the others being humiliated, they did not save them, but instead said their opinions in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, so they knew their true nature, and it was reasonable to betray Chen Feng under the endless killing intent at this moment.
