Wrath of the Immortal
Chapter 17 Taking away the Immortal Root
Qi Yunzong, at the foot of the mountain.
In the dark room, Xiao Chen and Wang Shun were tied up.
Their faces were as pale as paper, and their clothes were covered in blood.
"Where does such rich spiritual energy come from in your room?"
"Tell me, are you practicing sorcery?"
"If you don't recruit me truthfully, I will break your legs today!"
"..."
Deng Yongfei and two registered disciples held wooden sticks in their hands and tortured them to extract confessions.
"You bastard, stop slandering me. When did we start practicing sorcery?"
Wang Shun glared angrily and shouted loudly.
"Hmph! You are so stubborn. If I don't give you some clues, you won't tell the truth!"
Deng Yongfei sneered and called two registered disciples to attack Wang Shun.
Xiang Bohu pretended to be a tiger, raised his wooden stick, and hit Wang Shun hard on the head.
If this stick really falls, Wang Shun will be beaten into a fool even if he does not die.
"Let Brother Shun go, this has nothing to do with him!"
At the critical moment, Xiao Chen spoke.
This happened because of him, and he didn't want to implicate Wang Shun.
"So, you practice black magic?"
Deng Yongfei smiled. He had already guessed that Xiao Chen had an ulterior secret.
"What I practice is magic, not magic!"
Xiao Chen looked at Deng Yongfei without fear and defended himself loudly.
"You think we are fools! Can we cultivate such strong spiritual power by practicing immortal arts?"
Deng Yongfei did not investigate why Xiao Chen knew the method of cultivation. He knew that Wang Shun gave it to him.
When he searched the room last night, he had already found the first-level cultivation techniques of the Qi Refining Stage on Wang Shun.
"That's because you don't have the ability!"
Xiao Chen replied with one sentence.
"you……"
Deng Yongfei was furious and glared at Xiao Chen, but he didn't know how to refute.
"Senior Brother Deng, what nonsense are you talking to him about? If you want me to see him, I'll give him a good beating first. I'll take anything!"
Xiang Bo raised the wooden stick and was about to beat Xiao Chen violently.
"You bitch, try touching my brother. I gave you the cultivation method and it has nothing to do with him!"
Wang Shun roared.
"Hey! You're quite loyal. Since you want to be whipped so much, I will make it happen for you!"
Xiang Bo sneered and gave Wang Shun a sap.
"stop!"
At this moment, a low shout came from outside the door.
"Stop shouting, even if the King of Heaven comes, I will kill you!"
Xiang Bo's stick just landed on Wang Shun's head, but was caught tightly by a hand.
"Let me go, believe me or not..."
Xiang Bo was extremely arrogant. When he saw the person coming clearly, he knelt on the ground with a plop and begged: "Elder Zhou, what kind of wind has brought you here..."
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he was tortured in private, which was a serious crime within the Qiyun Sect.
"You are so brave, you dare to harm your fellow disciples!"
Zhou Pengcheng roared angrily and put down his big hat.
"Elder Zhou, I know I was wrong. This is my first offence, please forgive me this time!"
Xiang Bo knelt on the ground, kowtowed and apologized.
"roll!"
Zhou Pengcheng kicked him away and sat down on the chair.
"Tell me about it! What's going on?"
Zhou Pengcheng looked at Deng Yongfei with a solemn expression and asked.
At Deng Yongfei's signal, the two named disciples rolled away in a hurry.
"Elder Zhou, this kid is very evil. He must have practiced sorcery..."
Deng Yongfei poured a basin of dirty water down and said some weird things with added fuel and jealousy.
For example, Xiao Chen suffered fractures all over his body and recovered within half a month.
The strong aura appearing in Xiao Chen's room must be caused by sorcery.
In order to frame Xiao Chen, he also said that he had an unclear relationship with those female disciples.
"Elder Zhou, you know everything and must punish these two people severely!"
Deng Yongfei looked respectful, but in his heart he looked down on Zhou Pengcheng.
It's no wonder that although Zhou Pengcheng is the elder of Qiyun Sect, he is the most useless among the elders.
There are seven main peaks and hundreds of small peaks in Qiyun Sect.
On every mountain peak, there is a peak master.
The peak master has the status of an elder and has cultivated in the foundation-building stage.
The masters of the seven main peaks are, in order, the Great Elder, the Second Elder... and up to the Seventh Elder.
Except for these seven peak masters, the other peak masters have extremely low status.
To put it nicely, he is an elder; to put it worst, he is the most ordinary cultivator of immortality.
Zhou Pengcheng looks to be in his forties, with an unattractive appearance and a mustache.
His cultivation level was all improved by elixirs.
Zhou Pengcheng's spiritual roots are so weak that he has seven of them.
Under normal circumstances, there is no cultivation qualification at all, and the most you can do is become a registered disciple.
This guy has a sweet mouth, pleases his master very much, and has successfully passed on the mantle.
In addition, Daguan was granted the title of Tenth Generation Single Pass, and all resources were thrown at him.
With the blessing of the elixir, Zhou Pengcheng rushed to the foundation-building stage.
Even with his cultivation, his strength was too low, and not many people in the sect looked down upon him.
Even the peripheral disciples, such as Deng Yongfei, did not take him seriously.
Everyone privately said that Zhou Pengcheng had no ability and was just a flatterer who had found a good master.
Even if a pig takes pills every day, it will reach the foundation building stage sooner or later.
"You don't need to tell me how to punish him!"
Zhou Pengcheng scolded Deng Yongfei and looked up at Xiao Chen and Wang Shun.
Seeing this, Zhou Pengcheng was a little surprised.
Xiao Chen's expression was calm, and his deep eyes were neither sad nor happy. He was not at all as calm as he should be at this age.
So, there are only two possibilities.
Either they are pretending, or they are very cunning.
Zhou Pengcheng decided to scare the two first to see if he could get any useful clues.
"You two are so brave, do you know how serious a crime it is to practice sorcery?"
"Take away your immortal roots and expel you from the sect!"
Zhou Pengcheng shouted angrily and stood up with a slap on the chair.
These two sentences were so loud that Deng Yongfei was startled.
"Elder Zhou, we are wronged..."
Wang Shun was so scared that he told everything he knew.
He only confessed that he had privately purchased the immortal cultivation formula and secretly practiced it.
He knew nothing about the rest.
Xiao Chen looked solemn and said nothing, secretly thinking about how to deal with it.
Although he didn't know what would happen if his immortal roots were taken away, judging from the literal meaning, he would be in danger of death.
"What about you! Why don't you speak?"
Zhou Pengcheng didn't get any useful clues from Wang Shun, so he looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"If you want to accuse someone, you can always find excuses. Is it useful for me to defend myself?"
Xiao Chen looked at the blood on his clothes, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
Zhou Pengcheng frowned, and felt that Xiao Chen was not simple.
"Let them go!"
Zhou Pengcheng said.
"Elder Zhou, this matter has not been investigated clearly, so we can't let them go!"
Deng Yongfei was obviously stunned. He didn't expect Zhou Pengcheng to say this at all, and hurriedly said: "Besides, if you can't find the result, your prestige in the sect..."
Deng Yongfei tried his best to dissuade him. He did this for his own benefit.
If we can't let everyone know the consequences of offending him, how can we discipline the outer disciples in the future?
However, he said too much in the last sentence, and there was obviously a threat in his words.
"Deng Yongfei, listen to me! This elder is ordering you to let them go, not discussing with you!"
Zhou Pengcheng's face was gloomy, and a huge pressure was released from him.
Under this pressure, Deng Yongfei trembled all over and breathing became difficult.
"I'll let you go right now..."
Deng Yongfei didn't dare to act rashly, and when he untied Xiao Chen, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He didn't dare to do anything to Zhou Pengcheng, and blamed all his hatred on Xiao Chen.
From that day on, the two officially became enemies, and they would fight to the death!
