From a scholar to a villain, I was a good person at the beginning

"Who?"

"Enemy, criminal"

"Enemy? What enemy? Prisoner? What crime?" Lan Tianyu pressed on step by step, his tone unhappy: "Just because of a word from you, Jiang Zheng, you mobilized a large number of troops and caused unrest in the entire sect. You really don't take me, the leader, seriously at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, he released a powerful aura. With the cultivation level of the early stage of the Golden Core, his spiritual energy was incomparably majestic. A spiritual energy storm blew up all around him, and a terrifying sense of oppression came over him.

Jiang Zheng's face changed drastically. Being in the situation, he felt like a weed in the midst of a storm.

At that moment, he immediately used his cultivation to resist the pressure from the Jindan level.

At the same time, he was horrified. Originally, after his breakthrough in cultivation, he thought that he should be able to compete with the Jindan stage cultivators by relying on various means. Now it seems that the gap between the Jindan stage and the foundation building stage is as huge as heaven and earth.

Even if he breaks through to the late stage of foundation building, he probably won't be able to contend.

The golden spirit flapped its wings and golden light shone all over its body, but it was still blown away by the spiritual energy storm.

"snort!"

Jiang Zheng snorted coldly, clenched his teeth, and a strange flame burst out from his whole body, and the pressure was immediately relieved a lot.

Afterwards, the energy and blood in his body rose, and traces of martial arts true rhythm emanated from the energy and blood, suppressing his body.

The fire method and the sky-reaching method were performed at the same time. His face returned to calmness and he sat firmly in the chair again, ignoring the spiritual energy storm.

“Good trick!”

Lan Tianyu's tone was surprised, he put away his pressure and chuckled, "It's only been a few days, and he has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. The young are really formidable."

After saying that, he once again looked at the strange flames on Jiang Zheng's body and the elusive strange power.

The closer he looked, the more frightened he became. With his Golden Core cultivation level, he couldn't see through anything at all. He had never come into contact with such a strange and powerful force.

She is only in the middle stage of foundation building, but she can remain calm under the full force of his golden elixir cultivation. This is simply unheard of!

There is no doubt that this boy has a secret, which is probably beyond his reach at this level. It is even completely beyond his vision and cognition.

You must know that even between the peak of foundation building and the early stage of golden elixir there is an insurmountable gap. Only when you enter the golden elixir stage can you truly embark on the path of immortality.

A Jindan cultivator can cultivate golden light in his body, which will allow his physical body to undergo a qualitative leap. He will be immune to all poisons and cannot be harmed by ordinary swords or knives. He will truly be free from being a mortal.

It is no exaggeration to say that for a person in the early stage of Jindan to face a person at the peak of foundation building stage, it is like crushing an ant, but now he is unable to defeat the opponent in this confrontation of momentum?

He seemed to understand why Liu Wenhua was easily crushed to death by Jiang Zheng.

"No, I have to thank the sect for its cultivation," Jiang Zheng answered casually, putting away the demonic flame and Taoist charm on his body.

"It's our sect's fortune to have an elder like you," Lan Tianyu said with emotion.

"Really? But the sect has a leader like you..." Jiang Zheng paused and did not finish his words. Instead, he shook his head and said, "Elder Meng passed away and his granddaughter was murdered. As the sect leader, you really don't know?"

"Meng Qingqing is dead?" Lan Tianyu seemed unexpected.

"Haha," Jiang Zheng sneered, the answer was self-evident.

"This..." Facing the other party's sneer, he was speechless for a moment, seeming a little guilty.

"Elder Meng has enemies in the sect, and he has passed away. As the sect leader, shouldn't you take care of his granddaughter? Otherwise, why would that girl be like this?!"

Jiang Zheng seemed to have thought of something and became excited.

"You don't care. Is there any human warmth and coldness in Lingxi Mountain from head to toe?!"

"Everyone has his own destiny. My duty is to maintain the stability of the sect and protect its safety."

Lan Tianyu's voice was calm, as if Meng Qingqing's death was not enough to move him, "Don't forget, you are the law enforcement elder."

"Yes, I am the law enforcement elder," Jiang Zheng swung the gavel and his voice became low.

"So, I will now make those beasts pay for my disciple's life! Does the Sect Leader have any objection?"

"But you have disregarded the peace of the sect!" Lan Tianyu said angrily, "You are a new elder, how do you know how many powerful enemies are eyeing the sect now? Now almost all the inner disciples of the sect are dead, and the elders have also died. Your method has made the people of the sect panic. If a powerful enemy suddenly attacks, how will we respond?!"

"It's just that two useless elders died. Isn't it enough to have me?" Jiang Zheng didn't care.

"......" Upon hearing this, Lan Tianyu fell silent, squinting his eyes as if weighing something.

"Let this matter be resolved as soon as possible. Don't forget that you are first and foremost an elder of the sect. Many resources are used to support you. Think more about the sect."

As the head of the sect, Lan Tianyu actually compromised slightly in front of Jiang Zheng.

Firstly, considering that Meng Qingqing is the descendant of Elder Meng, and now she has been murdered, it is impossible to let the murderer go free, otherwise if the news spreads, what will the other elders think? It is chilling.

Secondly, the talent that Jiang Zheng has shown now is indeed worthy of his concession. If things get out of hand, he can certainly easily suppress the other party, but in doing so, the other party will no longer be interested in the sect, which is an irreparable loss.

Judging from Jiang Zheng's current progress in cultivation, it won't take many years for him to add a peak foundation-building expert to the sect.

With time, the achievement of the golden elixir is just around the corner.

"Thank you for your understanding, Master."

Jiang Zheng stood up and bowed, as if to see the guest off, but he was also very polite. Since the other party had given in, he naturally would not hit the other person in the face.

Although he didn't know why the other party gave in so easily, he naturally had to take the opportunity since he was given the chance.

If Jiang Zheng knew the other party's true thoughts, he might feel guilty. After he achieved the golden elixir, he would run away from home.

Lan Tianyu didn't say anything more. He sighed, took a step forward, and golden light surged on his body. In a few breaths, his figure disappeared into the horizon.

Jin Ling, who was standing by, walked carefully behind Jiang Zheng this time, lowered her head and rubbed his back affectionately.

"You, hurry up and improve your cultivation. Once this matter is settled, I will go into seclusion, and when I come out, we will leave too."

After Jiang Zheng finished speaking, he took out a jade bottle, poured some pills in it and threw it into its mouth.

"Cry!"

The golden spirit let out a happy cry and walked aside to refine the medicinal power. In fact, its method of refining the medicine was to sleep soundly.

Suddenly, Jiang Zheng sensed something again and turned his head abruptly.

A figure rushed out of Lingxi Mountain, seemingly fleeing, with several law enforcement disciples chasing closely behind him.

"Friend Li! Because of our friendship, if you spare me today, I will remember your kindness in the future!"

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to this, you've offended the wrong person this time."

"Humph! Who are you?! My brother is the elder's disciple, and I have the elder's back! Who dares to touch me?!"

"Elder? Ha! I have Elder Jiang behind me! If you have anything to say, you can ask the person behind you to talk to Elder Jiang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the man's face changed drastically, and he used all his strength to drive the flying sword towards the sky.

"I am here on the orders of Elder Jiang to arrest the criminal! Why don't you surrender?!"

A loud shout came from the clouds, and several figures broke through the clouds, falling at a high speed, with flying swords buzzing under their feet.

In the blink of an eye, that person was surrounded and even with the seventh level of Qi Refining, he couldn't escape.

Seeing this, Jiang Zheng withdrew his gaze.

…

Noon arrives.

The scorching sun hit the high platform, and Jiang Zheng bathed in the strong golden light, looking awe-inspiring without even being angry.

Below the stage, dozens of law enforcement disciples stood on both sides with serious expressions.

Above, there were many Lingxi disciples, who had already heard the news and rushed over.

Looking at the three people kneeling below the stage, Jiang Zheng's eyes became more and more murderous until they were boiling.

The three men were bound by chains, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably under the gazes of thousands of people.

"Go to court!"

Jiang Zheng uttered two words and casually threw out a ray of light that landed in the center of the square, just behind the three people.

Rumble——!

Patterns appeared on the stone slab, and nine white jade pillars, each as thick as three men could hug, slowly rose up, making a rumbling sound. Until the sound stopped, the nine white jade pillars were already dozens of feet high.

The pillar was facing away from the sun, casting a shadow over the three people. It was full of oppression, and anyone kneeling there would feel goosebumps all over their body.

"Elder Jiang! This is unfair! Why did you bring me here? What crime did I commit?!"

One person was the first to be unable to withstand the pressure and loudly protested his injustice.

Jiang Zheng said nothing, but waved his hand. The jade pillars behind the three people lit up with light and evolved into chains.

Crash——!

The iron chains flew across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they rolled up the three people, dragged them into the air, and then tied them tightly to the pillars.

These chains have the power to suppress spiritual energy. At this moment, the three of them are lambs to be slaughtered.

"Unfair? Ha!"

Jiang Zheng sneered, stood up, and waved his hand:

"This elder sentences you to... death!"
