Chapter 741: Chapter 417: Bold and Overbearing, Off to the Punishment Hall!

“You have quite some nerve!”

Xiao Baifeng’s icy gaze landed on Luo Cheng, his voice suddenly raised, exploding like thunder in the hall.

The hall seemed to be ravaged by a chilly wind, sending shivers down everyone’s spine.

Everyone could feel the terror and authority of this True Disciple.

“Hmm, the Essence Energy is much stronger than those two Qi Family Elders, likely a Second-level Earth-level Great Power! Perhaps even Third-level!”

Facing Xiao Baifeng’s aggressive gaze, Luo Cheng remained indifferent.

By now, confronting Xiao Baifeng, he no longer felt utterly powerless like he did the first time they met. He even began analyzing the opponent’s Cultivation Realm, assessing his chances in a direct confrontation.

“With my current power, at most I can contend with ordinary Second-level Earth-level Great Powers; encountering a Third-level Earth-level Great Power, I would have no choice but to flee. Unless my cultivation can break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm! Or my Sword Intent advances further, becoming a true Sword Intent Level Swordsman…”

Various thoughts flashed through Luo Cheng’s mind.

“Luo Cheng! Brother Xiao is talking to you! Are you deaf?” a cold drink suddenly rang out.

The speaker was an Inner Sect disciple from the Crown Prince Hall beside Xiao Baifeng.

Luo Cheng’s gaze suddenly turned icy as he looked over, causing the air to vibrate.

“Ah!”

This Crown Prince Hall disciple, merely at the Seventh Level of Awakening Vein Realm, felt as if he were plunged into an icy landscape when swept by Luo Cheng’s Sword Intent-laden gaze, letting out a scared scream and stumbling back.

“Presumptuous!”

Xiao Baifeng stepped forward, shielding the disciple, and an overwhelming Essence Energy surged, accompanied by a cold smile:

“Luo Cheng, back then, you flaunted arrogance because Yin Li from the Luoxia Sect backed you up. Back at the sect, you intend to do whatever you please? Do you really think no one can deal with you? Hmm!?”

Luo Cheng only felt the oppressive force rolling towards him, yet his expression remained unchanged: “Xiao Baifeng, I completed the sect’s task, came here to exchange Contribution Points, where indeed have I been doing as I please?”

Xiao Baifeng glanced at the mountain of Blood Nether Sect Identity Tokens piled on the counter, letting out a heavy snort:

“The way you obtained these tokens is clear to both of us! You not only slaughtered fellow disciples but also seized their fortunes, your heart consumed by darkness! And you dare boast about it here!!”

Luo Cheng calmly replied: “Exchanging sect Contribution Points is based solely on task credentials, nothing else. The Elders haven’t questioned it, so who are you to do so and on what basis?”

Back then outside the Black Cloud Mountain Range, Luo Cheng never bowed to Xiao Baifeng!

Now that his cultivation advanced and his power skyrocketed, although he couldn’t directly confront Xiao Baifeng yet, he had gained some ability to protect oneself!

Furthermore, my master, Supreme Elder Ming Sect, had personally promised that if he could slay Yun Tianyan, all past crimes could be offset, letting bygones be bygones!

Given this, why should he kowtow!

Luo Cheng lifted his gaze, his words resounding with authority, clashing directly with Xiao Baifeng, arrogant and defiant!

But as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color, including several Inner Sect Elders.

An Inner Sect disciple, dared to say a True Disciple was nothing!

This had never occurred before!

It was like provoking a tiger!

“Audacious! Who do you think you are, daring to contradict Brother Xiao!” The Crown Prince Hall disciple who had been embarrassed earlier stepped forward, shouting angrily.

“Haha!!”

Xiao Baifeng’s face was filled with cold laughter as he looked at Luo Cheng, his gaze even colder: “What qualifications do I have? What arrogance! As long as you haven’t become an Earth-level Great Power, even if you’re first on the Xuanhe List, you’re still an Inner Sect disciple, forever lower than a True Disciple!”

“Provoking me so, if today I don’t properly punish you, where lies the dignity of a True Disciple, a Earth-level Great Power!”

With Xiao Baifeng’s deep drink, he spread his fingers, directly grasping at Luo Cheng.

Buzz!

Essence Energy surged fiercely, creating a formidable suction that firmly enveloped Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng immediately felt the surrounding air become unbearably heavy, frowning, he prepared to draw his sword to counterattack.

“Stop!”

Riiip!

The sound of air being split echoed, and Luo Cheng immediately felt the binding force surrounding him disappear without a trace!

Shu!

A figure gracefully landed beside Luo Cheng.

A woman in her twenties, dressed in a pale green long dress, her skin like condensed fat, red lips dotted, although not particularly beautiful, yet dignified and elegant, precisely True Disciple Liu Qingyu of Supreme Elder Qing Kui lineage.

“Liu Qingyu! It’s you again!” Xiao Baifeng squinted his eyes.

Liu Qingyu looked at Xiao Baifeng, revealing a mocking smile on her face: “Xiao Baifeng, knowing you’re a True Disciple, repeatedly targeting an Inner Sect disciple like this, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at!”

Xiao Baifeng’s face turned sinister, glaring coldly at Luo Cheng: “I do this for the sect! Luo Cheng slaughtered fellow disciples, seized their wealth, and even disregarded me as his Senior Brother! Running rampant like this, akin to Blood Nether Sect demons, how can our Xuanyuan Sect stand amongst the Three Great Sects if this spreads!”

“He must be properly punished, expelled from the sect as a warning to others!”

Liu Qingyu’s lips curled into a smile: “Whether Luo Cheng is guilty or not, this matter isn’t for you to decide! Our Xuanyuan Sect isn’t merely a one-sided decision by your Crown Prince Hall!”

Humph!

Xiao Baifeng’s Essence Energy surged vigorously, not yielding: “Just the fact he murdered Zhou Yunqing and others is a capital offense! I’ve reported this to the Sect Master long ago, Liu Qingyu! Do you think you can protect him!”

“Try me!”

Liu Qingyu’s gaze was fiery, enveloped by flowing Essence Energy, revealing a hint of imperial aura amidst her calm demeanor!

Buzz!

The aura of the two True Disciples clashed, stirring up a storm in the hall, even the several meters thick pillars trembled at the impact!

“Enough!”

A cold drink exploded.

Vice Hall Master Xu Qingyang of the Inner Sect Hall, sporting a goatee, stepped forth, waving a hand to conjure an azure Qi Force from nowhere, forcing Liu Qingyu and Xiao Baifeng back, calming the Essence Energy fluctuations.

Xu Qingyang’s gaze covered both, letting out a heavy snort: “What do you take the Inner Sect Hall for!”

Liu Qingyu hastily paid her respects: “Elder Xu!”

Xu Qingyang nodded slightly, turned to Luo Cheng, and said: “Luo Cheng, give me your Identity Token! I’ll exchange your task Contribution Points.”

“Thank you, Elder!”

Luo Cheng handed over the Identity Token.

Xiao Baifeng, unwilling, angrily said: “Elder Xu! These Blood Nether Sect Identity Tokens were obtained by Luo Cheng by murdering fellow disciples! The Contribution Points can’t be given to him!”

“Silence! Are you teaching this Elder how to act?”

Elder Xu roared angrily, casting a cold glance at Xiao Baifeng: “The task of eradicating Blood Nether Sect’s base this time is based solely on task credentials, regardless of other matters! Luo Cheng presented task credentials; these Contribution Points are rightly his!”

“As for him killing fellow disciples and seizing fortunes, it isn’t under this Elder’s jurisdiction. If you wish to charge him, you can go to the Punishment Hall, where the elders will decide! Cause any more commotion here, and don’t blame this Elder for being unkind!!”

Xiao Baifeng, full of rage, his face flushing red, dared not disobey the Heavenly-level Great Power, Elder Xu, and had to swallow his anger.

Elder Xu ignored him, pointed at Luo Cheng’s Identity Token, and then returned it to him: “Alright, a total of 12,040 points!”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Baifeng’s eyebrows jumped sharply, looking at Luo Cheng with even sharper gaze.

Over ten thousand sect Contribution Points!

Equivalent to a colossal wealth of 20 billion taels!

Despite being a True Disciple, having painstakingly accumulated over the years, his total assets added up were less than 5 billion taels!

“Thank you, Elder!”

Luo Cheng took back the token and bowed in thanks.

Elder Xu shook his head: “It’s what you deserve. You defeated Liu Jue, slew Yun Tianyan, swept through the younger generation of Fierce Cloud Sect’s peer-level strength, it’s joyous for our Xuanyuan Sect! I’m proud of you.”

Elder Xu sincerely admired, Xuanyuan Sect hadn’t proudly held its head high for a long time!

“Elder, you’re flattering me.” Luo Cheng smiled.

“Haha, hope you continue striving, break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm soon.”

Seeing Luo Cheng neither arrogant nor impatient, Elder Xu esteemed him threefold.

This temperament isn’t found in many within Xuanyuan Sect.

“What a pity…”

Thinking of Luo Cheng’s awakened Martial Soul, Elder Xu couldn’t help but feel regret.

“Luo Cheng! Don’t think your murdering fellow disciples case is over! Come with me to the Punishment Hall for a visit!!”

Xiao Baifeng, wearing a stern face, stepped forward!
