#1199 - Chapter 1199 What Can You Do to Me

But now that Sima Shizun was sitting to the side, he no longer had the air of being high and mighty, and his words obviously didn't carry as much weight as that person's.

“If you want to know the truth now, just open the wall at the back of the mountain. Why bother with suspicions here?” Another sect spoke up to mediate.

Now, Ye Kong was certain that everyone participating in the sect ranking competition, including those from the Taichu Academy, were all in the cave behind the mountain.

To imprison so many people at the same time, the mastermind behind the scenes must possess considerable ability. With such grand schemes, if it weren't for the fact that they were instigating this matter, Ye Kong would have liked to chat with them.

However, this Lei Zhentian they spoke of, Ye Kong had heard about from Elder Wang. He was a legendary figure who caused a sensation in the Upper Realm, turning the world upside down with his own strength, forcing a group of elders to bow and scrape. It was said that Lei Zhentian was reckless, unruly, arrogant, and defiant. He didn't submit to anyone, did as he pleased, and fought if he disagreed, thus stirring up great disasters and becoming a scourge of the Upper Realm.

The Upper Realm specifically organized a group of elites to encircle and suppress Lei Zhentian, but without exception, they were all defeated by him. Lei Zhentian issued a challenge to the leader of the Upper Realm, demanding a personal fight!

These words further infuriated a group of generals! Batch after batch of people went to fight, but they were all defeated and fled in disarray by Lei Zhentian. Lei Zhentian became even more rampant, actually stepping on the defeated and absorbing their spiritual power to cultivate demonic arts. As a result, it became necessary to find a stronger person to stop Lei Zhentian's evil deeds.

To this end, the Upper Realm specifically issued a wide recruitment order, seeking supreme powerhouses who could reach the heavens and earth. Anyone who could subdue Lei Zhentian would be given the highest glory of the Upper Realm!

With huge rewards, a large number of capable people and strange士很快 emerged, all vying to subdue Lei Zhentian.

Among them was the Taichu Academy, which had been established for some time but had no reputation in the Upper Realm.

The Taichu Academy sent thirteen disciples, who used the Taichu Academy's unique spiritual techniques and spent three days and three nights to defeat Lei Zhentian!

This caused an even greater sensation at the time! The Taichu Academy, which could subdue the supreme demon king Lei Zhentian, must be unstoppable and possess profound skills. The Upper Realm had always wanted to bring them all under their control, but was rejected by the leading elder at the time.

“We only want that supreme glory, so we implore you to grant our Taichu Academy the title of ‘Number One Sect in the World’!”

Thus, this storm subsided. The Upper Realm eliminated a scourge, and the Taichu Academy gained supreme honor, quickly gaining a place in the Upper Realm. This result seemed like a win-win situation.

But now, listening to it, it was indeed extremely strange.

What happened during those three days and three nights? No one knew.

As for Lei Zhentian's body, the Taichu Academy gave the result that the corpse was reduced to ashes under the burning of true samadhi fire and had been scattered to the four seas and five lakes to prevent it from reassembling or preserving spiritual power. The soul was also suppressed under the Soul Suppressing Mountain, which was also the territory of the Taichu Academy.

In short, the Taichu Academy had the final say on the Taichu Academy's handling results.

Outsiders only looked at the final conclusion.

Indeed, after the Taichu Academy took action, Lei Zhentian disappeared. Therefore, everyone would preconceivedly believe that the Taichu Academy had defeated Lei Zhentian.

But what if it wasn't?

In that case, every link was full of loopholes, with room for manipulation everywhere. Perhaps the Taichu Academy was using this to deceive the world to this day.

Now that this sentence had awakened them, the others also made incredible sounds. Everyone stared at Sima Shizun, wanting to get an explanation from his face.

Sima Shizun simply closed his eyes and said nothing more.

This only showed his guilt even more, indicating that there was indeed an inside story to this matter.

Even Ye Kong, who was separated by a wall, felt a thud in his heart, feeling that he seemed to be a little persuaded.

Although he firmly believed that Sima Shizun, including the elders of the Taichu Academy, would never do such a thing.

“But how can you think that the elders of my Taichu Academy cannot defeat Lei Zhentian?” Wen Jie's voice rang out.

“If they could defeat Lei Zhentian, they wouldn't have been captured by us and be staying here, don't you think?” This voice retorted, leaving Wen Jie speechless.

That's right, that's right.

“However, your Taichu Academy does have a good disciple, what's his name, Ye Kong? It's a pity that he has already turned into a pool of blood!” This person's voice rose. The disciples of the Taichu Academy, who had still been holding out hope, suddenly felt a chill in their hearts.

“Since you think that Lei Zhentian is behind this wall, just open it and see.” Elder Chen of the Taichu Academy said, “However, don't forget how much power the Upper Realm sent to subdue Lei Zhentian in the first place. Once you release him, you will have to bear the consequences yourselves!”

These words caused the people of the other sects to discuss among themselves.

Even the person who had been urging to open this wall just now hesitated for a moment.

Lei Zhentian's earth-shattering ability in the past made everyone shudder at the thought of it, especially in the later stages when he relied on absorbing the spiritual power of the defeated to cultivate, causing many powerful elders to die under his feet.

They really didn't need to risk their lives here in order to expose the so-called secrets of the Taichu Academy.

“Why don't we forget about it?” Someone in the group suggested backing out.

Sima Shizun looked up and saw that this person was slightly older, with a long scar on his face, presumably having personally fought with Lei Zhentian.

“How can we forget about it? How difficult was it for us to collect this information? For so many years, are you willing to be trampled underfoot by this Taichu Academy, which has been dominating until now with just a lie?” That voice was still unwilling to give up.

Ye Kong was also quite curious as to who this person, who had been constantly inciting everyone and was not afraid of Lei Zhentian at all, really was.

“Of course I'm not willing.” The elder of Guoyun Pavilion stood out. He also had an identical scar on his face.

“Moreover, the Taichu Academy has amassed countless wealth, and it's time to hand it over. And all of this belongs to us!”

These words were like a reassurance. The people who had been hesitating just now immediately became firm, vowing to open this wall of sin.

But they were attacked by the same force returned to themselves.

The excess spiritual power was absorbed by the stone wall and disappeared little by little. When they looked again, the stone wall showed no reaction at all.

“Open the secret door on the wall!” Someone pointed a sword at Sima Shizun.

“Since you are so capable, opening a stone wall is all it takes, why do you need us? Hahaha, hahaha.” Sima Shizun was mocking them for overestimating themselves.

So what if I am? What can you do to me?
