Chapter 87

Since the founding of the Nine Yang Martial Mansion, Lin Tian is the first disciple with a nine-star talent. Whether in terms of natural endowments, willpower, character, or demeanor, he is nearly perfect, deeply anticipated by Mu Qing and Shi Dong, and is the most brilliant new star in the history of the Nine Yang Martial Mansion. However, without their knowledge, the Mo family dared to mobilize the entire clan to assassinate Lin Tian.

This is a provocation of the dignity of the Martial Mansion!

"What audacity!"

Shi Dong was enraged.

Even Mu Qing, who is usually gentle, had a darkened expression at this moment.

All around, many disciples of the Martial Mansion were moved.

"How shameless!"

A new disciple said angrily. In the life-and-death battle between Lin Tian and Mo Sen, over a hundred new disciples had witnessed it. It was originally a conspiracy by Mo Yi and Mo Sen. Mo Sen proposed it himself after securing all the advantageous conditions. Under such circumstances, Mo Sen's death was self-inflicted, and there should have been no complaints. However, the Mo family mobilized the entire clan to assassinate Lin Tian, with Mo Yi, an elder of the Nine Yang Martial Mansion, also participating, which was truly despicable.

Suddenly, an old disciple was moved.

"Wait, this guy actually survived in such a situation?!"

Someone changed color.

The head of the Mo family is a Fourth Rank Divine Pulse expert, and Mo Yi is a Ninth Rank Divine Pulse expert. Along with other family experts of the Mo family, Lin Tian actually survived in such a situation. How heaven-defying is that?!

Thinking about it seriously, many people drew a cold breath.

"A month ago, good, very good! It just so happens to be the day Mo Yi went missing!" Shi Dong's face was cold: "What a Mo family! Playing such tricks with us!" After a pause, Shi Dong looked at Lin Tian and asked, "Lin Tian, Mo Yi went to hunt you down. Do you know where he went in the end? After that, he disappeared."

Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Disciple was severely injured by Mo Hai and fled into a cave to hide. After my injuries improved somewhat, I cautiously escaped the Dark Forest. I don't know what happened after that." Mo Yi was killed by the Purple Sprite, which Lin Tian saw clearly, but he naturally wouldn't say that.

Mu Qing frowned and said, "Is there a connection between what happened a month ago and now?"

Mu Qing believed that Lin Tian wouldn't bring up past events without reason.

"Respected Elder, you are wise." Lin Tian nodded: "A month ago, the Mo family failed to kill me. Upon learning that I would participate in this Inner Mansion selection, they had Mo Kong take action, using a large amount of spirit coins to bribe all the disciples who entered the final round of the melee, making them suppress me together, while Mo Kong himself would take advantage of the chaos to kill me in an 'accident.' In Mo Kong's own words, if he killed me in an 'accident,' the Martial Mansion would at most expel him from the mansion."

Lin Tian's words were calm, but everyone around him changed color.

"This..."

"How dare they?"

"Isn't that too audacious?"

Many people stared in shock.

This is the Nine Yang Martial Mansion. Although the Mo family is the only martial family in Fengjian City, compared to the Nine Yang Martial Mansion, they are just ants. On such an important day for the selection of Inner Mansion disciples, the Mo family dared to do such a thing? Bribing Martial Mansion disciples to secretly kill the most brilliant genius of the Martial Mansion is indeed very bold.

"Such a thing? How despicable!"

Su Shu glared angrily.

Mu Qing, Shi Dong, and other Martial Mansion mentors all had darkened expressions.

Seeing the reactions of the Martial Mansion disciples and the expressions of Mu Qing and others, Mo Kong's face turned pale, and he shouted, "Respected Elders, don't listen to his lies! He has a grudge against my Mo family, so he looks at us unfavorably. This is a false accusation! He is slandering us! Deliberately framing me!"

"Phew! Do you think everyone is as shameless as your Mo family!"

Su Shu said angrily.

Mu Qing gestured for Su Shu to be quiet and then looked at Hua Yongchang and others below the main arena, "Is this true?"

Facing Mu Qing's gaze, Hua Yongchang and others all turned pale.

"No... No, Elder, there is no such thing!"

Hua Yongchang said.

"Right!" Rong Xiu glared at Lin Tian: "He... He has a grudge against us, so he is saying this!"

"That's right, we... We would never do such a thing."

Zhao Lin also said.

At the same time, Zhou Qi and others also spoke up, denying it one after another.

"Enough!"

Mu Qing shouted.

Looking at the twenty-three outer mansion disciples who were kicked off the main arena by Lin Tian, Mu Qing's expression was very ugly. With his peak Divine Pulse realm cultivation and status as an elder of the Martial Mansion, his experience was not low. Just by glancing at the expressions of the twenty-three people, he knew that Lin Tian's words were not false. Twenty-three outer mansion talents actually colluded to do such a thing!

"You are all very good! Very good indeed! Truly a credit to us!"

Mu Qing's face was dark.

Facing Mu Qing's gaze, Hua Yongchang and others all trembled, knowing they couldn't hide it anymore.

"Respected Elder, forgive us, we... We were just momentarily confused, jealous of Lin Tian's extraordinary talent and greedy for the spirit coins promised by Mo Kong. We made a big mistake. And we, we didn't know that Mo Kong wanted to kill Lin Tian. If we had known, even with more spirit coins, we wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Please forgive us, Elder!"

"Forgive us, Elder!"

The twenty-three people all had pale faces.

"Forgive us? You think a simple plea for forgiveness will make this go away? There is no such easy thing in the world!" Staring at the twenty-three people, Mu Qing said coldly: "Starting now, for the next six months, all your cultivation resources will be revoked! You are not allowed to step out of the Martial Mansion!"

The twenty-three people all changed color. Revoking six months of cultivation resources and not allowing them to step out of the Martial Mansion for six months was a huge loss for them! Especially for Hua Yongchang and Rong Xiu, their eyes were full of regret. With their strength, they could have entered the Inner Mansion, but now they had not only lost the qualification to enter the Inner Mansion but also had their cultivation resources in the outer mansion revoked for six months and their freedom restricted for six months!

At this moment, the two were filled with regret and wanted to shout.

Ignoring the expressions of the twenty-three people, Mu Qing's gaze fell on Mo Kong: "As for you! You have great audacity. On the final round of the Inner Mansion selection, you dared to play such tricks, secretly plotting to assassinate the most talented martial genius in the history of our Nine Yang Martial Mansion. Do you think our Nine Yang Martial Mansion is easy to bully?"

Mu Qing is a gentle person, and the gentler a person is, the more terrifying they are when angry.

Listening to Mu Qing's words, Mo Kong couldn't stop trembling.

"Respected Elder, forgive me! Forgive me!"

Mo Kong begged for mercy.

At this point, Mo Kong knew that no matter what he said, it was useless; he couldn't defend himself.

"Forgive you?" Shi Dong spoke at this moment, coldly: "The twenty-three of them are still considered accomplices, unaware of your true intentions, and are punished by revoking their cultivation resources for six months and restricting their freedom for six months. But you, bribing dozens of outer mansion talents to secretly assassinate our most outstanding genius, how can you be forgiven?!"

Shi Dong and Mu Qing both had high hopes for Lin Tian and were naturally very angry at this moment.

"Your crime is enough to be punished as the murder of a fellow disciple, or even more severely!" Mu Qing said coldly, his peak Divine Pulse realm aura making many Martial Mansion disciples tremble with fear: "As for your Mo family! A month ago, you mobilized the entire clan to assassinate our Martial Mansion disciple, and now you are disrupting the Inner Mansion selection with such despicable actions. You must give an explanation to our Nine Yang Martial Mansion!"

"This... Respected Elders, forgive us!"

Mo Kong shouted.

Apart from life-and-death battles, killing a fellow disciple is a taboo in the Martial Mansion! It is a capital offense!

At this moment, Mo Kong's face was filled with terror.

Just then, Lin Tian spoke: "Respected Elders Mu and Shi, Lin Tian thanks the two of you and the Martial Mansion. Although there are many people who target me within the mansion, I have truly felt warmth here." Lin Tian's expression was serious: "Therefore, Lin Tian will not trouble the Martial Mansion with the grudge against the Mo family. I will handle it myself!"

As he finished speaking, the sound of a sword rang out.

"Poof!"

A splash of blood, and Mo Kong's head flew off.

The bloody head fell off the main arena, staining the platform red, shocking everyone.

"This..."

"Actually, he killed him directly?!"

"Whoa!"

All the Martial Mansion disciples changed color.

"This guy is at it again, killing without blinking!"

Su Shu muttered.

Mu Qing and Shi Dong's expressions changed, and they exchanged glances, both shaking their heads.

"Let it be, he got what he deserved."

Mu Qing sighed.

Shi Dong looked at the main arena and said helplessly, "Little guy, can we end this now? Is there anything else?"

Hearing this, many Martial Mansion disciples felt somewhat embarrassed. Twenty-four outer mansion elites, all of them were kicked off the main arena, all of them received the harshest punishment, and Mo Kong himself paid with his life. Could this not be over? From any perspective, this should be over, right? What else could there be?

At this moment, to everyone's surprise, Lin Tian on the main arena actually nodded.

"Yes."

His voice was calm, making all the disciples change color.

"This... There's still something?"

Many people stared in shock.

Even Mu Qing and Shi Dong were somewhat confused, thinking that there shouldn't be anything else.

"Oh? What is it?"

Mu Qing asked curiously.

At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Tian.

Lin Tian turned, his face indifferent, and pointed his long sword at a distance: "Zhou Hao, come up!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed dramatically.

Zhou Hao, the first in the outer mansion and already at the Divine Pulse realm, was the already determined overall first in this Inner Mansion selection. But at this moment, Lin Tian was pointing his sword directly at Zhou Hao, clearly in a stance to fight.

"Is he... going to challenge the outer mansion's first, Zhou Hao?"

"This... Can't be..."

"Just defeated twenty-four people in a group battle, and now he's going to challenge that Zhou Hao?!"

"How arrogant!"

Many people stared in shock.

In the distance, behind a rockery, several Inner Mansion experts were also moved.

"Challenging a Divine Pulse realm from the Body Fusion realm?"

All of them frowned.
