Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Kill one to break even! Kill two and it’s a profit!
Elder He’s voice was like rolling thunder, striking the eardrums of everyone present.
"Not good! Elder He is likely targeting you!"
Yuan Zhilan’s expression changed.
Luo Cheng’s brow furrowed slightly; he also hadn’t expected Elder He to suddenly make a move at this time.
No escape from misfortune, Luo Cheng took a deep breath and stepped forward expressionlessly.
Elder He’s gaze swept over, eyes like thunder, coldly saying, "Have you ever seen Lin Jintai?"
Luo Cheng was not oppressed by the other’s aura, calmly responded, "He competed with me and was killed by me."
Wow!
As soon as these words were spoken, a commotion arose.
The majority of people were unaware of what happened at the peak of the Bias Edge Mountain, and they were all surprised to hear that Luo Cheng killed Lin Jintai.
However, thinking of Luo Cheng’s exaggerated score of over twenty thousand points, everyone suddenly understood.
Without killing the top contender for the championship, it would be impossible to have such a high score!
"Kid, you sure have guts, daring to admit it yourself!"
Elder He sneered coldly, harshly saying, "Since you have admitted it voluntarily, are you aware of your crime?"
Luo Cheng’s eyes flashed as he looked up calmly, "In the Green Cloud Trial, killing is not forbidden. I competed fairly with Lin Jintai, and he was killed because of his own lack of strength. I don’t know where the crime lies!"
Beside him, Yuan Zhilan advised in a low voice, "Luo Cheng, don’t act rashly! Forbearance is the mark of wisdom; your priority now is to safely enter the Outer Sect!"
Hmph!
Just as Yuan Zhilan finished speaking, a heavy cold snort sounded, and Elder He looked down at Luo Cheng, his aura fierce, coldly shouting:
"Where is the crime? Zhang Xin, come out!"
As soon as the words fell, a male servant disciple stepped out.
Elder He said, "Tell what you saw, word for word."
Zhang Xin swallowed and said loudly, "I saw with my own eyes the battle between Luo Cheng and Lin Jintai. Luo Cheng had already won but cut off Lin Jintai’s limbs one by one, destroyed his mouth and nose, torturing him to death! Such cruel methods are shocking!"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhilan frowned: "How can this guy lie with his eyes wide open! Luo Cheng was just interrogating for the truth!"
Gu Lingfeng smiled bitterly.
Yuan Zhilan’s nature was still too naive; everyone could see that this was instigated by Elder He, making Luo Cheng likely in peril.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Xin finished speaking, Elder He coldly questioned:
"Luo Cheng, do you have anything to say?"
Luo Cheng glanced at Zhang Xin, anger rising from his heart.
However, Luo Cheng knew he must endure now!
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Taking a deep breath, Luo Cheng shook his head: "Even if what he says is true, I haven’t violated any Sect rules, have I?"
Heh!
Elder He sneered, eyes wide with rage: "How dare you speak of the Sect rules? Your cruelty to your fellow disciples proves your vicious nature, bloodthirsty tendencies; sooner or later you’ll become a great devil! Keeping you in Xuanyuan Sect will only become our disgrace! I shall now cripple your cultivation and expel you from Xuanyuan Sect!"
What!
At these words, everyone present showed an expression of shock.
Luo Cheng’s heart also shook violently, his anger surging.
He hadn’t expected that Elder He wanted not only to expel him but also to cripple his cultivation!
"Ha ha!"
Knowing that endurance was no longer useful, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh toward the sky, looking at Elder He with a cold voice:
"If you wish to find authority to add to your crime! However, I won first place in the Green Cloud Trial, and I am already a prospective Outer Disciple!"
"The Xuanyuan Record states that the expulsion of an Outer Disciple must be reviewed by the Punishment Hall, or at least judged by three Outer Elders! Elder He, with just a single Outer Elder, you want to judge me and cripple my cultivation! Aren’t you afraid of violating the Sect rules? If Sister Yun Mengli finds out, she will undoubtedly investigate to the end!"
With his fate hanging by a thread, Luo Cheng had no choice but to mention Yun Mengli, hoping to deter the opponent.
Indeed, upon hearing the name Yun Mengli, the expressions of all the present Elders changed.
This was the youngest true disciple of Xuanyuan Sect, who awakened a Ten-star Green Bird Martial Soul, with unbeatable strength and infinite potential. She might inherit the position of Sect Master in the future! Nobody can underestimate her!
Elder He’s expression also changed.
It was precisely his fear of Yun Mengli that he decided to kill Luo Cheng at all costs!
"Hmph! Fine words won’t save you! You are not yet an Outer Disciple and are under my jurisdiction!"
Hearing Luo Cheng bring up Yun Mengli, Elder He’s murderous intent only grew stronger.
"Elder He’s decision is to temper the current trend and ensure the future of Xuanyuan Sect’s disciples!"
Elder Qin Mei could not help but advise.
"Elder Qin, you needn’t say more. If this trend is not curbed, what will become of Xuanyuan Sect’s disciples!"
Elder He dismissed Elder Qin Mei’s advice outright and prepared to act.
At this point, five Outer Disciples rushed out. Lin Hankong glanced at Luo Cheng and raised his voice:
"Elder He, Luo Cheng’s cruel actions toward his peers are appalling, not knowing guilt and daring to contest with the Elders. Keeping such lawless people in the Sect is only a disgrace to Xuanyuan Sect! It makes other Sects say we’re a devil sect! He must be punished as a warning to others!"
"Is that so?"
Seeing Lin Hankong and the others, Elder He’s eyes flashed and said, "Then I shall leave this matter to you to handle!"
Elder He knew Lin Hankong and the others had a life-and-death enmity with Luo Cheng and were Jin Min’s people, so he wouldn’t miss this chance to stay uninvolved.
With Luo Cheng dead, even if Yun Mengli will seek accountability in the future, these people will be there to bear the blame, and nothing will trace back to him!
Lin Hankong wished to kill Luo Cheng himself and immediately said with delight: "Happy to relieve Elder of his burden!"
Having said that, Lin Hankong’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Luo Cheng, shouting: "Luo Cheng, kneel and accept your punishment!" n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Luo Cheng coldly chuckled, "I’m not wrong; why should I be punished!"
"Kid, still dare to argue!"
"Kneel and accept your punishment, or endure physical suffering!"
"Why waste words with this wild brat, just take him down, cripple his cultivation, and then hand him over to Senior Jin Min!"
Beside Lin Hankong, four Outer Disciples brimmed with killing intent, completely disregarding Luo Cheng.
"What did you say!"
Upon hearing the words ’wild brat’, Luo Cheng’s eyes turned red as he glared at the tall youth among the four!
Feeling the killing intent from Luo Cheng, the tall youth was completely undisturbed.
He was an Outer Disciple, practicing cultivation techniques, with a martial arts grade at the Intermediate level, and his combat power could not be compared to that of a servant disciple!
Even if Luo Cheng was also in the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer, he had confidence to win within three moves!
Striding out, the tall youth directly stood in front of Luo Cheng, looking up and saying, "What’s the matter, I called you a wild..."
Suddenly...
Swish!
A sword light flashed, and the tall youth’s arm flew away directly. If not for his sense of danger and dodging slightly, the sword would have severed his head instead!
"Ahhhhh..."
With a scream, the tall youth retreated while shouting:
"Kill him! Quickly kill him!"
"Die!"
Unable to endure any longer, there was no need to endure!
Luo Cheng now had only one thought:
Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Killing one was worth it! Killing two would profit!
"Heavenly Fall First Form, Wind Stopping!"
The sharp aura on his body grew stronger, and the Meteor Sword in Luo Cheng’s hand seemed to merge with the wind, carrying not a trace of smoke or fire.
Splatter!
Blood spurted, and the tall youth’s head flew right off!
