Towards Xue Chuan's attention, Mei Ling was filled with disgust. His chest was moving up and down, and the aura he was emitting was retracted. He coldly glanced at Han Chen and said. I'll let you go today for now, but I won't be so lucky next time. "
With that, Mei Ling jumped off the Life and Death Stage and left without looking back.
Xue Chuan could not help but frown, and moved the sword away from Han Chen's neck, pointing at him he shouted. "Brat, you have to show off your skills in the future. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson."
Xue Chuan also turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Han Chen opened his mouth and shouted, "Wait."
"What is it? Do you want to die? "
"You placed the sword against my neck today, I'll remember." Han Chen clenched his fists tightly and spat out a sentence clearly.
Chapter 15 - Framing
Deep in the night, in the Abyss of Non-Phase.
The bright moon cast a layer of frost on the ground. The higher it was, the stronger the wind. More than ten days ago, the three hundred people of the Violent Wind Gang had turned into ghosts.
On the side of the tall mountain wall stood a graceful figure. The white dress fluttered in the wind. Her silky black hair danced in the wind. She was an extremely beautiful woman with slender eyebrows and a pair of phoenix eyes that glittered like the stars.
"Who is that person?" The woman's red lips moved as she softly muttered.
A delicate and pretty young face flashed in his mind. At that time, the two were so close. The woman raised her phoenix eyes and a hint of chilliness came from them. Suddenly, there was a slight disturbance in the air. The next moment, the place was empty.
It was as if the woman had never existed in the future. The only thing that echoed in the Abyss of Non-Phase was the wailing wind that sounded like the ghosts of wronged souls.
Mystical Peak, a quiet mountain peak.
The night air was somewhat chilly, just like the people of this world. A few outer sect disciples were wandering in the night, talking and laughing with each other.
"Hey, Senior Brother Xue Chuan, I advise you not to hang yourself on a tree. There are many girls who like you since you are so outstanding! Why do you need to chase after Mei Ling and not let him go? " The one who spoke was a slender young man with fair skin.
Amongst the few of them, Xue Chuan was among them. His eyebrows twitched as he sneered, "Heh, you really think I'm an infatuated person? Let me tell you the truth, this Mei Ling is only one of my prey. Once she's caught by me, he'll just be thrown away like old clothes after I finish playing with her. "
"Oh? "Haha." The few of them burst into laughter, each revealing a sinister expression.
"But that damned Mei Ling is really stubborn. I chased for so long and still haven't given up on me."
"Don't be in sucurry! There are a few women who are not interested in you, Senior Brother Xue Chuan, hehe. " A man with slightly dark skin flattered him.
Xue Chuan was even more proud, it was true, within the outer sect disciples. He, Xue Chuan, was the strongest. After two months, he would become an inner disciple with a bright future. With such a young and talented person, it would be difficult for him not to be liked by women.
"Right, senior apprentice-brother." The skinny man from before said, "Senior Brother, how do you plan on dealing with that brat called Han Chen during the day?"
"Hmph, at that time, why did he still say 'I'll remember what happened today'? He truly doesn't know the meaning of the word." We might as well go and kill him now. " The tanned man suggested.
"No." Xue Chuan shook his head, "You can only kill people on the life and death arena. Not anywhere else. In another two months, the induction ceremony for inner disciples would begin. I don't want anything to go wrong at this juncture. "
"Then Senior Brother is going to let him off just like that?"
"Of course not." Xue Chuan laughed coldly, a ruthless look flashing past his eyes. "I have an even more fun way to torture him, hehe."
The next morning, in Han Chen's small courtyard.
Xin Lan, Xiao Wen, Little Monkey and Da Wei were also present. This was the first time that so many guests had come. Han Chen's mood was not bad. The unhappiness that happened yesterday was almost forgotten by him. Moreover, from now on, the word "trash" no longer belonged to him. The way everyone looked at him also clearly changed.
"Xin Lan, are your injuries alright?" Han Chen asked.
"Nope." Xin Lan smiled, a ripple could be seen in her eyes, and unexpectedly, she did not dare look the other party in the eye.
The five of them sat around a table as Han Chen poured tea for the four of them. Xiao Wen clapped her small hands and laughed, "Han Chen, your performance yesterday was so impressive, you are truly amazing."
"That's right, especially after seeing you beat Li Yuan up to that extent. My heart almost jumped out of my chest." Big Wei smiled in agreement.
Han Chen only laughed it off. To be honest, he was not someone who liked to compete with others. However, Li Yuan had gone too far, seizing his Body Refinement Pellet was one thing. They had even made a move on a girl like Xin Lan. If it was Da Wei or the little monkey, they would also be unable to hold themselves back.
"Han Chen, you can even beat Li Yuan. This time, you can definitely be selected as a new disciple. " The little monkey said.
These few days, the matter of the inner disciples being elected waopic for the outer disciples. Every year, Mystical Peak would elect two hundred outstanding disciples from the thousands of outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect.
There was no doubt that Xue Chuan, Mei Ling and the others were at the Qi Refining stage. Even those at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage had quite a chance. As for those below Tempered Body 8th Layer, there was basically no hope. Unless that person's innate divine ability was very strong.
"Maybe!" Han Chen laughed, then asked back, "What about you? Do you have confidence to be selected as an inner disciple? "
The few of them looked at each other. Xiao Wen's expression was somewhat gloomy as she said, "Big Sister Xin Lan, Little Monkey, your might should have a chance of breaking through to the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering within two months. "As for me …"
Xiao Wen's voice became softer and softer, like a mosquito.
"Not necessarily." Xin Lan held onto her small hand and comforted her, "It's not only us who got the Body Refinement Pellet, other people also have it. Out of the several thousand outer court disciples, there are only two hundred spots. This probability is really too small. "
"It's alright, Xiao Wen." "Even if I can't become an inner disciple this year, there will still be a year left!" We'll definitely have a share next year. "
"En!" Xiao Wen nodded strongly, and revealed a cute smile.
Seeing everyone encouraging each other, Han Chen also felt a sense of warmth and friendship. As for the inner court disciple election two months later, he was also looking forward to it. He wasn't worried at all about being chosen, because other than the sect's internal determination, there was another method.
"Han Chen, come out right now."
At this moment, the small door to the courtyard was kicked open. Han Chen, Xin Lan and the rest all had changed expressions, they immediately went out the door and went outside.
Xue Chuan brought a few disciples and rushed in, all of their faces revealed gloomy and cold smiles.
"Xue Chuan, what do you mean by that?" Han Chen asked harshly.
"Heh heh." Xue Chuan laughed sinisterly, then opened uath, following which a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a dark long robe walked in.
"Elder Yang Hui?" Han Chen was shocked, he looked at Xin Lan, Xiao Wen and the rest. ~ I thought, it must be about him injuring Li Yuan.
"Elder Yang Hui, why are you here?"
Yang Hui coldly glanced at Han Chen, his eyebrows knitted together witrace of disgust. Hmph, Han Chen, someone reported that you took out the Martial Arts technique manual without
permission. "
What? Bring out the things from the Martial Skill Pavilion? Han Chen immediately shook his head, "Elder Yang Hui, you must have been mistaken. disciple has definitely never done suching. "
"That's right!" Clan Elder, Han Chen would not do suching. " Xin Lan and the others helped to defend themselves.
"Whether it's a mistake or not, we'll know after searching for a while." Yang Hui made a gesture, and other than Xue Chuan, all the other disciples rushed into Han Chen's house, wantonly searching.
Han Chen suddenly had a stomach full of fire. Helpless, this was the only way to prove his innocence, so he could only let them search.
The person Xue Chuan brought could be said to be extremely brutal. The sound of something being smashed continuously came from inside the house. Han Chen was even more furious, they had clearly come to cause trouble.
"Found it, found it." Not long after, an excited voice came from inside. A disciple came out with two Martial Skill Scrolls in his hand. The scroll was imprinted with the Martial Skill Pavilion's mark.
Weng! * Han Chen was stunned. How was this possible? He had never brought anything from the Martial Skill Pavilion with him. And Xin Lan, Xiao Wen and the other three, had also turned pale with fright.
Yang Hui took the two scrolls the disciple brought, his face immediately became gloomy, "Han Chen, how dare you. Do you know how big of a crime it is to take away something from the Martial Skill Pavilion? "
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Han Chen flatly denied it, "Elder Yang Hui, I swear, I never brought out these two things. Someone is framing me. Someone must be framing me. "
With that, Han Chen turned his gaze towards Xue Chuan, the latter had a complacent smile, as though he was admitting it. Yes, it's framing you.
"Enough." Yang Hui interrupted Han Chen with a cold voice, "You found the martial arts technique here, the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say for yourself? Take him away. "
"Yes."
"Elder Yang Hui, hold on!" Xin Lan immediately stopped a few disciples who were walking forward, and said anxiously, "Elder, please think about it carefully. Every disciple was able to choose a martial skill from the Martial Skill Pavilion. As long as they used white paper and ink, they would be able to copy through the copies of those martial skills. Han Chen does not need these originals at all. "
"That's right, Elder Yang Hui. This was something that could be easily understood. Only a fool would bring out a martial skill. Only those who have no brains. "That's why I thought of this method to frame someone." The little monkey spoke angrily, looking at Xue Chuan from time to time.
Indeed, he used the Martial Skill Pavilion's method to frame someone. This method was really terrible. He could have copied the contents of the book, but why did he have to bring out the original version and give himself so much trouble?
This was not because Xue Chuan was stupid, but he had done it on purpose. He clearly wanted to tell everyone that he was framing Han Chen. Even with sucoor method, it could still succeed. This was because Elder Yang Hui was heading in his direction.
"Hehe, maybe he has other motives!" Xue Chuan grinned, turned around and said to Yang Hui, "Clan Elder, Han Chen has ill intentions, there is evidence and evidence, there is nothing more to say."
Yang Hui nodded and said solemnly, "Take him away."
"No, Elder Yang Hui, you can't be so decisive." Xin Lan, Little Monkey and the others looked like they were not going to give in.
"Hmph. You all have quite some nerves to actually stop me?" Yang Hui squinted his eyes, his eyes filled with anger, "If anyone dares to obstruct you, you will be punished along with Han Chen."
"Elder."
"Xin Lan." Han Chen and the others who were about to argue let out a deep breath and coldly said to Yang Hui and the others, "I request to see Elder Song He who is in charge of the Martial Skill Pavilion. He can prove that I did not take away any martial skills without permission."
"Elder Song He has already left for the inner sect. He will only be back after two months. Don't waste your time. " Yang Hui immediately cut off Han Chen's retreat, and waved his hand at the disciples.
"Take him away!"
Chapter 16 - Earth Core Fire Array
In less than half a day's time, the news of Han Chen being discovered by Elder Yang Hui because he brought out a Martial Skill Method without permission had spread throughout the entire outer sect of Mystical Peak.
When this matter came out, everyone sighed! While he was secretly astonished, his fear of Xue Chuan increased even further. Based on what happened these few days, ordinary people would immediately understand that this matter was definitely related to Xue Chuan. Han Chen was most likely framed. The reason was simple. No one would be stupid enough to bring out a martial skill.
It was because of this that they did not dare to publicly discuss Han Chen's innocence. Even Elder Yang Hui had stepped in. Han Chen's grievance this time was for sure.
Han Chen was brought tlace called the Hall of Justice. Other than Yang Hui, Xue Chuan and a few other disciples had also come along with him.
"Elder Yang Hui, I was wrongly accused." Han Chen said.
"Heh heh." Without waiting for Yang Hui to speak, Xue Chuan walked in front of him with a complacent smile, clapped his hands, and mocked, "Han Chen, it's already this far, what more do you want to say? I told you before, there will be no good ending for those who go against me, Xue Chuan. "
Han Chen frowned, and glanced at him in disgust. He continued to look at Yang Hui, and beneath the latter's calm face, there warace of viciousness.
Yang Hui had been an elder for a few years and had already figured out a set of hidden rules. Xue Chuan had already reached the second level of Qi Refining at such a young age. Once he entered the inner sect, his future would definitely be bright. On the other hand, Han Chen was only at the Eighth Layer of Body Tempering.
Furthermore, Han Chen had almost turned Li Yuan into a cripple. Everyone in the outer sect knew that Li Yuan was his right-hand man. Han Chen was equivalent to slapping Yang Hui's face.
Therefore, the matter of taking away the "Martial Skill Pavilion technique" without permission was the conspiracy of Yang Hui, Xue Chuan and the rest to frame Han Chen.
Han Chen knew that no one could help him now, so he clenched his fists and coldly asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Yang Hui looked at Xue Chuan and said, "Han Chen, for you to bring the technique manuals out to the Martial Skill Pavilion is a grave violation of the sect rules. According to the punishment regulations, you will be punished in the Core Fire Formation for two months. "
At the Grand Yuan Stage, countless outer sect disciples were gathered there, discussing about the punishment Han Chen had received.
"What?" Core Fire Array? Isn't this punishment too heavy? " After receiving Yang Hui's notice, the entire outer sect immediately sighed. Almost every disciple's face revealed a strong sense of disbelief and fear.
Speaking of this "Earth Core Fire Array", all of the disciples felt a chill run down their spines. That was a method specifically designed to punish disciples who had committed an enormous amount of mistakes. In the last four years, a total of six disciples had received this punishment, and two of them had died in the middle of the fire formation. As for the four who survived, they were also completely unrecognizable, with almost no intact skin and flesh on them.
After the treatment, the four gradually recovered. However, all the meridians in his body were injured. From then on, his strength could only be described as mediocre, unable to advance even a single step further. It could be said that the punishment from the Core Fire Array was more cruel than death.
"How could that be? "Why is it so serious?" Xin Lan shook her head witale and powerless expression.
Beside her, Xiao Wen, Da Wei, Little Monkey and the others all had the same anxious and furious expression on their faces. The latter scolded, "This bastard Xue Chuan is too useless. Two months? T
he most they used to have was a month in jail. Not to mention that Han Chen did not take out a martial skill, even if he had, he would not have received suceavy punishment. "
"This is not the time to complain." Xiao Wen shook her head and suggested, "Let's look for the other elders for help?"
"Yes, let's try it out with Patriarch Nine." She's the kindest. "
Xin Lan also nodded her head, the few of them looked at each other, and without further delay, they rushed towards the mountain peak where the Ninth Elder resided.
Bang! A dull thud was heard as the heavy object fell onto the ground. In a dark basement, Han Chen who was covered with wounds climbed up with much difficulty.
"Hehe, damn brat, do you know what I did?" A strange, complacent laughter came from a passage above him. Xue Chuan and the two disciples who wanted to be good friends both looked down at Han Chen who was in the basement with disdain.
Even though he was about to be punished by the Core Fire Array, before that, he was still severely injured by Xue Chuan and the others.
Han Chen wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, then revealed a smile, his laughter was filled with grievance. "Kill!" Killing intent surged in his eyes as he said coldly. Xue Chuan, today's debt, will be repaid to youndred times, a thousand times. If I, Han Chen do not kill you, I will definitely not buman. "
If I don't kill you, I swear I won't buman!
This simple sentence contained the boundless rage in the youth's heart. Xue Chuan's actions had already triggered his killing intent. Compared to Li Yuan, who had taken over his Body Refinement Pellet, it was several times stronger.
The few people at the entrance did not expect Han Chen to be so tough, and were startled. Xue Chuan laughed in disdain, "You want to kill me? Anytime, but it still depends on whether or not you can get out alive, hahahaha. "
Then, Xue Chuan closed the valve at the entrance, "Activate the Core Fire Formation!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Seemingly in that instant, Han Chen felt the surrounding temperature suddenly rise, and a dark-red flame surge out from his surroundings. The underground secret room seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, and Han Chen, who was trapped in the middle, seemed to be besieged from all sides, as he was completely isolated within, with no way out.
