The Penalty Hall is located on the top of a mountain. It is three stories high. The main hall is blood-colored and exudes a strong aura of murder.
I don't know if the killing was too serious, but the place was completely bare and vegetation could not grow. Some disciples once thought that this place was desolate and moved some flowers and plants, but they withered after a few days. After repeated attempts, they finally had to accept their fate.
From then on, the murderous atmosphere here became even stronger, and some disciples were even more reluctant to approach this place.
Under the leadership of the two elders, Zi Chen slowly walked up the stone steps. The ruthless killing atmosphere hit his face, making Zi Chen couldn't help but shudder.
This is the only punishment hall of Lingwu Sect. 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 was three stories high, but very empty. The whole body was like watering with blood, and the killing intention was like a sharp knife, cutting Zi Chen's will. This was a punishment hall, some
The timid disciple made a mistake, but before asking, he couldn't bear the chilling feeling and took the initiative to admit it.
But Zi Chen did nothing wrong, so he didn’t think he was wrong.
Walking into the main hall, dozens of people had already gathered here. As his eyes swept across, Zi Chen saw many familiar people, including Luo Men, Wang Meng, and many people who had survived from the Spiritual Medicine Garden, but he really knew
But Su Mengyao, Lin Xue and Miaokong were not there.
"Zi Chen, what's your crime?"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, interrupting Zi Chen's glance.
Above the main hall, there was an old man sitting. He was as skinny as a stick, with only a few dozen gray hair left. His eyes were sunken deeply into his eye sockets, and his skin was full of wrinkles, like chicken skin.
"This must be the palace master, I didn't expect him to be alarmed." Zi Chen thought to himself, he was shocked by the palace master's appearance.
The other party was dressed in black and sitting on top of the main hall. He was like a huge black hole, which was breathtaking. He looked more like a ghost who accidentally broke into the netherworld, which made people fearful.
"Zi Chen doesn't know." Zi Chen took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"Collude with the disciples of other sects and kill fellow disciples, and you still don't know the crime?" The palace master's voice was cold, but he did not use his power to overwhelm others. The chilling tone in his tone made people shudder.
"Palace Master, the ten disciples of the inner sect were ordered to work together to kill me that day. If it weren't for my cleverness, I would have died long ago. The murder was purely self-preservation out of help." Zi Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and there were silver lights all over his body.
Withstand the murderous pressure of the palace master.
"Then you admit it?" The palace master's voice turned cold.
Zi Chen raised his head, stared at the ghost-like palace master, and said: "It is rumored that the punishment palace master hates evil and has killed several core disciples who have made serious mistakes. If the palace master insists on asking this question today, Zi Chen will plead guilty, but he will never accept it.
"
"Hmph, Zi Chen, what do you have against you? I saw you kill Xu Yan with my own eyes that day, and you still dare to quibble?"
"So, you're still robbing us of our elixir?"
"You also killed Luo Mu and the others."
As soon as Zi Chen finished speaking, a disciple next to him could not help but say.
"Zi Chen, you don't have to quibble, we have already found out the matter, and today is the day you die." Chen Feng also walked out and said coldly.
Zi Chen didn't even look at them, he just looked at the palace master with calm eyes and said: "Hall Master, it is true that I killed the nine sons of the inner sect, but Xu Yan did not die by my hands, but died innately.
What hundreds of people said with their own eyes was clearly a slander.”
Until now, Zi Chen didn't care and said directly: "The ten disciples of the inner sect relied on Chen Feng's support to do all kinds of evil. That day, the ten disciples actually wanted to surround and kill me. It was really shameless. When they did it, they threatened to say
Chen Feng was jealous of my high talent and was afraid of being a threat to him, so he arranged for them to take action. He also said that if he turns into a ghost after his death, he should not look for them, but look for Chen Feng."
"I was lucky and survived in the end, but I would like to ask, Palace Master, if I had died that day, would anyone have asked for an explanation for me?" Zi Chen raised his head and spoke in a high-pitched voice.
"You fart, you talk nonsense, and you spit nonsense. I will be jealous of your talent. Do you have bullshit talent?" Chen Feng said angrily.
Zi Chen looked at Chen Feng, with a touch 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 him. You can believe it when you confuse right and wrong, but I heard it with my own ears.
Why can't you believe it? The ten disciples of the inner sect have no grievances against me, so why do you want to kill me and even put a reward on my death in the elixir garden?"
"I have reached the ninth level of Zhenqi from the fifth level of Zhenqi in just one year. What kind of talent do you think I have? If I don't have talent, then who are you?" Zi Chen responded indifferently and sarcastically.
There were gasps of air from all around, and everyone remembered that a year ago, Zi Chen was still a little guy at the fifth level of Zhenqi, but a year later, he had already stood at the pinnacle of the Zhenqi realm, becoming the No.
one person.
Chen Feng back then naturally didn't have Zi Chen's talent.
Zi Chen's eyes turned cold and he said: "If you want to kill someone, you must have the consciousness to be killed. They have evil intentions and deserve to die."
"You are talking nonsense, and you still expect the master of the palace to make the decision. Dozens of people here can testify against Zi Chen. As for the jealousy of talent, it is purely a rumor. As a high-ranking Xiantian realm, how can I care about a mere True Qi realm?" Chen
Feng was furious and turned to salute the master of the palace, asking for justice.
"Hmph, they are just a bunch of villains who talk about benevolence and righteousness and hold up the banner of justice. If you can believe their words, it is better to find a bunch of beasts. Although the beasts can't speak, they will never do anything that goes against their own will.
Things." Zi Chen said coldly.
For today's matter, he must act in a strong manner, otherwise he would have no chance.
The palace master glanced downwards without saying a word.
"Zi Chen, you don't have to make excuses. We still don't know who you are. You colluded with people from the outer sect to kill the ten disciples of the inner sect just to steal the elixir."
"Yes, you were in the valley, but you killed many sect disciples. Do they want to kill you too, and you have been making excuses?"
"You are ruthless and do all kinds of evil. You just robbed us of our elixir, and you also wanted to kill people and silence them. If we hadn't run so fast, we would have died in your hands, and we wouldn't be able to testify against you here."
"You are just a devil in the cloak of kindness. It is really unfortunate for the Lingwu Sect to have trash like you."
Others spoke one after another, wanting to put Zi Chen to death with vicious words.
"Zi Chen, you keep saying that you kill people just to protect yourself, but there are witnesses. When you killed many disciples in the valley with your own hands, was it also to protect yourself?" The palace master suddenly spoke, looking at Zi Chen with cold eyes.
Zi Chen felt a sense of killing coming towards his face, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. The silver light around him showed signs of dissipating, and he was horrified in his heart. The strength of this palace master was indeed terrifying.
"To report to the Palace Master, he has no witnesses, because what we are telling is the truth, and no one can defend him in the face of the facts."
"We are on the side of justice." A disciple said.
"If there are no witnesses, who can prove that what you say is true? Do you think I believe them or your one-sided words?" the palace master asked coldly.
The disciples sneered, as if they had already seen the scene where the palace master personally killed Zi Chen.
"Humph!" Chen Feng snorted coldly and already stepped back.
The situation was very weak for Zi Chen, and the palace master was famous for killing people without blinking an eye. Once Zi Chen was determined to be a villain, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
"I can vouch for him." Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from outside the hall.
"I can also prove that Zi Chen is innocent." Another crisp voice sounded.
Footsteps sounded, and two beautiful figures appeared. Su Mengyao was dressed in white, with a slender figure and a graceful appearance. 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 were stepping on her boots.
It made a clicking sound on the ground.
"Is it you?" Chen Feng's expression changed when he saw Lin Xue and Su Mengyao. He didn't understand why they appeared. He had obviously arranged for someone to restrain them.
"We are not who we are, are we the trash you sent? Chen Feng, I used to think that you were petty and not bad-hearted, but I didn't expect you to be so despicable. Zi Chen has no enmity with you, but you have repeatedly
To kill him is simply an act of a villain, and for a person like you to become the leader of the Lingwu Sect is simply a misfortune for the Lingwu Sect." Su Mengyao said coldly as soon as she came up.
"You!" Chen Feng was furious and his face was very ugly. This was the first time Su Mengyao spoke to him in this tone.
"You are simply a shameless villain." Lin Xue also said coldly: "In the elixir garden, you asked the ten disciples of the inner sect to kill Zi Chen, and now you have found these villains like you to testify. You are simply the same breed.
.”
Two people suddenly appeared, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone looked at each other and wanted to refute.
"Don't talk. I feel sick when I hear your voices. You are doing some shameful things under the guise of righteousness." Su Mengyao made everyone speechless with one sentence.
"In the elixir garden, if it weren't for Zi Chen, you would have died many times, but now you are trying to harm him. You are really a bunch of wolf-hearted people." Lin Xue also scolded angrily.
No one said a word, not knowing how to refute.
"Lingwu Sect is a sect and has sect rules. This is not your home, nor can you do whatever you want. The Punishment Hall is the most sacred and just place of Lingwu Sect. If you lie here, you will definitely be severely punished.
of."
Su Mengyao's voice was cold, and her words made everyone's hearts tremble. Some of the timid people's expressions changed drastically.
"There are several elders who died here, so you can take care of yourself." Su Mengyao warned again.
Everyone bowed their heads and stopped talking.
Turning her head, Su Mengyao looked at the Palace Master, smiled, and said: "Palace Master, you should be aware of the merits and demerits of right and wrong."
The face that looked like a fierce ghost trembled, and the palace master said coldly: "Come here, take them down and torture them carefully. If there is any untruth, they will be executed immediately."
The voice of the palace master was cold, and the chilling intention instantly surged out. In an instant, the entire hall seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, frozen three feet, and the murderous intention was permeated, as if the god of death had descended.
These surviving disciples were despicable people, and they were also cowardly people. Some of them even fell to the ground with frightened faces. They crawled to the center of the hall in twos and twos and kept crying: "Palace Master, spare your life.
I was bewitched by Chen Feng and was obsessed for a while, so I slandered Zi Chen."
"Zi Chen, please spare your life. We were wronged. We were all assigned by Chen Feng."
For every person, there is a second person. When they saw Lin Xue and others being raped that day and did not save them, but instead expressed their opinions righteously, they knew their true nature. At this moment, under the endless killing intent, they betrayed Chen.
