"Chen Zong, do you admit to your crimes?!" Bai Yushan opened his mouth. His voice was cold and harsh, like the howling wind and the slashing of a sharp sword.
Many people who were not strong enough immediately felt fear and their legs went soft.
"Eldest Senior Brother, may I ask what crimes I have committed?" Chen Zong's neither servile nor overbearing attitude made Bai Yushan frown. The other two strangers showed a hint of appreciation in their eyes, while the other looked gloomy.
"You took advantage of others and used despicable means to steal their treasures. That's your first crime. You deliberately set up a trap to harm others, causing them to be seriously injured. That's your second crime. Seriously damaging the reputation of the Glorious Sword Clan is your third crime. You still refuse to admit to your crimes!" Bai Yushan's voice was even colder. His eyes were like unsheathed swords, sharper than a human. It was as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong.
"Expel him from the Glorious Sword Clan!" Bai Yulou suddenly shouted, causing the Bai family disciples to echo.
"Words have no proof. Do you think you can make a conclusion based on a few words from others? As the eldest Senior Brother, you are too incompetent." The cold voice was like a pool of autumn water. It was so cold that it made people tense up.
Bai Yushan's expression was even uglier. The person who rebutted him was Chen Chuyun.
"The witness is the evidence. Looking at his cultivation, we can deduce." Bai Yushan's voice was firm. He stared sharply at Chen Zong, giving him a sense of pressure. "Chen Zong, let me ask you. A few days ago, your cultivation was not even at the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Six. Now, you are already at Qi and Blood Realm Level Seven. Even if you entered the boiling blood pool to cultivate, it would be impossible for you to improve so quickly. The only explanation is that you have more than one Blood Essence Fruit and consumed two or three of them to raise your cultivation to the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Six. Then, you used the boiling blood pool to break through to Qi and Blood Realm Level Seven. Am I right?"
"Yes, but that's my business." Chen Zong was neither fast nor slow.
Li Zhenshi and the others could not help but worry.
The Eldest Senior Brother had a very high status and had a lot of power. Chen Zong's words were already directly contradicting him.
In fact, Chen Zong did not want to contradict Bai Yushan directly. However, he had a bottom line. Bai Yushan indiscriminately accused him and even wanted to convict him of three crimes. How could he accept it?
The sword had a sharp edge.
A swordsman could be humble, could keep a low profile, could give in for a moment, but could never lose his drive.
When practicing the sword, one must strive for the straight in the crooked path.
You used despicable means to snatch the Blood Essence Fruit while others were in danger. And now, you even dared to argue in front of everyone. This is the fourth crime. " Bai Yushan's tone was extremely cold and harsh, like an invisible sword stabbing towards him: "In the name of the Brilliant Sword Hall's First Senior Brother, I punish you to be confined in a dark room for six days. Before that, you have to hand over the Blood Essence Fruit that you obtained through despicable means and take out a hundred thousand White Jade Coins as an apology."
"Confinement in the dark room!"
"Six days!"
"Bai Yushan, how dare you!" Chen Chu Yun's face was filled with killing intent.
The new disciples were at a loss, while the older disciples all sucked in a breath of cold air.
The dark room was built by the Seven Lights Martial School as a place to punish disciples. Under normal circumstances, it was not easy to pass such a punishment because inside the dark room, one could not see or hear anything. Furthermore, there was no food or drink. It was as if one was abandoned by the world.
One or two days might not be a big deal. A martial practitioner's mind and willpower were relatively strong and could persevere. However, three days was a test. There was once a Qi and Blood Realm eighth stage martial practitioner who was punished to be confined in a dark room for five days. When he came out, he was absent-minded, his eyes were wild, and his mouth was full of nonsense. It took him more than a month to gradually recover. After that, his cultivation speed became even slower, and he was gradually left behind. One time when he went out to carry out a mission, he died under the claws of a demon beast because his mind was absent-minded.
There were quite a lot of similar examples, which made the black-room confinement a synonym for horror.
Six days of confinement. This was going to destroy Chen Zong.
Moreover, he had to hand over the Blood Essence Fruit and pay a hundred thousand White Jade Coins. It was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
In fact, Bai Yushan wanted to expel Chen Zong from the Glorious Sword Hall even more. Out of sight, out of mind. Unfortunately, although he had great power as the chief senior brother of the Glorious Sword Hall, he did not have the power to expel a disciple, not even an instructor.
Huang Biao and the others' expressions changed at first, but then they all revealed a smile of relief.
"As the chief senior brother of the Glorious Sword Hall, my first priority is to protect the disciples of the Hall. But you, you only listened to one side's words and punished me. Sister Yun is right. You are not qualified to be the chief senior brother." Chen Zong said without any trace of politeness, each word sharp.
"Chen Zong is right." Li Zhenshi voiced his support. Although some of the new disciples did not say anything, the meaning conveyed from their eyes was the same.
"I'll make you accept it wholeheartedly." Killing intent surged in Bai Yushan's heart, but he did not show it on his face. After his gaze swept past Li Zhenshi, he sneered, "Explain yourself."
"Huang Biao, Xiao Wei, Meng Yuanchong, when you saw that my cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Qi and Blood Realm, you joined forces to plot against me. You tried to use me to attract the attention of the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scaled Beast so that you could pick the Blood Essence Fruit. I proposed to share the harvest with you, but you said that it would depend on your own abilities. I didn't expect you to use me in secret. After I saw through you, you couldn't compete with me. You should have hidden away. I didn't expect you to be so despicable as to frame me. Should I say that you are shameless or shameless?" Chen Zong looked at Huang Biao and the other two and sneered.
His words caused Huang Biao and the other two's expressions to change drastically. The Glorious Sword Hall disciples were also suspicious. The Glorious Disciplinary Hall disciple's expression was cold.
The person standing beside Huang Biao and Meng Yuanchong frowned slightly and looked at Huang Biao and Meng Yuanchong with a questioning expression.
"Senior brother, he's lying."
"That's right."
Huang Biao and Meng Yuanchong's expressions changed and immediately said.
This time, they had asked the Glorious Blade Hall's First Senior Brother to seek justice. They wanted to use his identity as their First Senior Brother. If they were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
No matter who it was, they would not be willing to be used by others, especially when they were being used without knowing the truth.
"You said that your cultivation was only at the sixth level of the Qi and Blood Realm. How did you snatch the Blood Essence Fruit from the three of them and the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scaled Beast?" The Glorious Blade Hall's First Senior Brother Xu Zhantian's gaze was as sharp as a blade. It swept past Huang Biao and Meng Yuanchong's faces and landed on Chen Zong's face. Chen Zong felt as if his face had been slashed by an invisible blade.
"My cultivation is not high, but my strength is not necessarily weak." Chen Zong's expression did not change.
"Now that your cultivation has reached the seventh level of the Qi and Blood Realm, your strength should be even stronger. Since you were able to snatch the Blood Essence Fruit from the three of them a few days ago, then today, you will fight the three of them alone. You don't need to defeat them, you just need to hold on for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense." The Glorious Earth Hall's First Senior Brother Xiao Hongfu said, "If you can do that, it will prove that what you said is right and you will not be punished. On the contrary, if you can't hold on, it will prove that you are wrong and the punishment you will receive will be even heavier."
The Glorious Discipline Hall's disciple did not speak, but his expression remained the same.
"Of course, there's also the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scaled Beast. I will play the role of the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scaled Beast." Chen Chu Yun's voice was cold. He drew his long sword and walked over step by step.
"Rakshasa Sword, Chen Chu Yun. I know you, but this has nothing to do with you. Back off." Xiao Hongfu's face darkened.
"Sister Yun, trust me." Chen Zong nodded at Chen Chu Yun. His eyes were firm. Sister Yun's intention of playing the role of the Bloodthirsty Iron-Scaled Beast was to help him.
"Light the incense." Bai Yushan immediately said. Soon, a stick of incense was lit. Everyone stepped aside, leaving enough space for Chen Zong and the other three.
"Chen Zong, I swore that day that I would fight you to the death." Xiao Wei's voice was filled with hatred as he held a pair of long and short swords in his hands.
"Chen Zong, die." Meng Yuanchong said harshly.
"Chen Zong, I will chop off your limbs." Huang Biao's face was filled with viciousness.
Chen Chu Yun's face was filled with killing intent. He wanted nothing more than to draw his sword and kill all three of them.
"Do you have the ability to do so?" Chen Zong's tone was indifferent. There was a trace of doubt in his voice as if he was mocking them. Xiao Wei and the other two were enraged and immediately drew their swords.
The long and short swords immediately turned into a whirlwind of killing intent. It was very swift and fierce, bringing with it a series of sharp whistling sounds.
Meng Yuanchong's long and narrow cold sword pierced through like fangs, cruel and ruthless.
Huang Biao held his machete with both hands, as if he was trying to split a huge rock. He mercilessly slashed at Chen Zong, wanting to cut him in half.
The three attacked mercilessly, causing everyone's expression to change drastically. Li Zhenshi and the others secretly broke out in cold sweat. Chen Chu Yun even tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword. If Chen Zong was in danger, he would immediately draw his sword and attack.
It just so happened that Chen Zong's cultivation had increased to the seventh level of the Qi and Blood realm. His strength had greatly increased and he wanted to find some opponents to test his current strength. However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Zong did not want to show off too much, especially in front of Bai Yushan.
He could feel that Bai Yushan was deliberately targeting him based on his identity as the First Senior Brother. It was probably related to Bai Yulou.
He unsheathed his sword and the sword's light seemed to illuminate the sword hall. His body swayed like a willow in the wind. His footsteps crisscrossed as if he was riding the wind. His body was light and agile. The sword's light and shadow crisscrossed as he struck three times with one sword. He took the opportunity to dodge the three's joint attack.
"Your footwork is not bad." Xu Zhantian nodded.
After Chen Zong had cultivated the Wind Stepping Steps to the Minute Subtlety Realm, his understanding of the Wind Stepping Steps had deepened. He had also applied the essence of the Wind Stepping Steps to his usual footwork, combining it with the footwork of the Eight Forms of the True Sword to make himself more agile.
With the combination of footwork and sword, Chen Zong dodged the three's attacks again and again, causing them to be unable to form an effective encirclement.
The incense stick burned little by little as it became shorter and shorter. The three became more anxious and their attacks became fiercer and fiercer.
Chen Zong's swordsmanship was not limited to the Afterimage Swordsmanship, nor was it limited to the Willow Swordsmanship, nor was it limited to the Eagle Strike Swordsmanship or the Thunder Flash Swordsmanship. He was flexible, flexible, and sharp, aiming at the weaknesses of the three's swordsmanship.
The more Xiao Hongfu watched, the more gloomy his face became. Xu Zhantian, on the other hand, had a bit of appreciation. Bai Yushan, on the other hand, was expressionless, but his heart was burning with killing intent.
He focused on dodging, countering the attacks as they came. Every time it seemed like he was almost hit by the swords, it was very dangerous, but he was always able to avert the danger. It was as if he was dancing on the tip of a sword. Watching this, the disciples of the Brilliant Sword Hall were very excited. They felt a kind of hair-raising thrill, and their hair stood on end.
Bai Yulou's face was gloomy. He really hoped that Chen Zong would be killed. Even if he was not killed, he would be defeated and receive a heavier punishment. That would be very satisfying.
