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

"Master!"

"Master!"

“…”

Everyone bowed respectfully.

Lan Tianyu nodded slightly, then glanced at Jiang Zheng, then retracted his gaze to scan the disciples below, and said loudly:

"The errand disciple Jiang Zheng challenged the outer disciples, inner disciples, and the elders of the sect! Although he killed them cruelly, his actions were in accordance with the rules!

This headmaster announces that from today on, Jiang Zheng will be promoted to the elder of the sect, taking over the Contribution Hall, the Punishment Hall, and the miscellaneous disciples! Does anyone have any objections? ! "

With the blessing of spiritual energy, the sound spread throughout the entire Lingxi Mountain. Not only could the disciples present hear it clearly, but every elder and disciple in the entire Lingxi Sect could hear it clearly.

"Congratulations, Elder Jiang!!!"

The next moment, all the disciples clasped their fists in congratulations, and the sound spread from the top of Lingxi Mountain and reverberated among the mountains.

Everyone was shocked internally.

Not to mention the menial disciples, but at the same time he took over the Contribution Hall and the Punishment Hall, and also killed Liu Wenhua, who was the most powerful among the elders.

At this moment, Jiang Zheng surpassed the other elders in both strength and status, and was the well-deserved uncrowned king among the elders!

The mountain top in the distance.

A golden statue seemed to hear the movement on the next mountain top and trembled slightly.

He then gathered his thoughts and stood on the edge of the cliff, allowing the wind and sun to blow on him without moving, keeping Jiang Zheng's orders in mind.

"Receive the order!"

Lan Tianyu threw out a purple jade token.

"Disciple thanks the master!"

Jiang Zheng grabbed the jade token and forced a drop of blood from his fingertips, which merged into the jade token. The next moment, the jade token glowed with purple light, and the word "Jiang" appeared behind it.

Lan Tianyu waved his hand again, and a ray of light fell on Jiang Zheng. The next moment, Jiang Zheng's purple robe swayed in the wind.

Looking at the luxurious purple robe on his body, Jiang Zheng's mood remained calm. This was what he deserved. In fact, he had already prepared a purple robe, which he obtained by killing Luke Dong.

He planned to proclaim himself the elder today, but he didn't expect the sect leader to show up.

In that case...

Jiang Zheng raised his head, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

“Since all the disciples are here!

Now, this elder declares that from today on, all disciples are equal and shall not be bullied, killed, or abused at will according to the sect rules. Those who violate the rules will be executed without mercy!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was in an uproar.

"Elder Jiang is so mighty!!"

"Long live Elder Jiang!!"

The errand disciples shouted at the top of their lungs, while the outer disciples shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that the world of Lingxi Sect was about to change.

Amidst the uproar, Jiang Zheng looked calmly at Lan Tianyu, his lips moved slightly, and he said:

"This is the justice I want! What do you think, Master?"

At this moment, Jiang Zheng felt that he was the winner.

Lan Tianyu heard Jiang Zheng's voice in his ears. He was slightly stunned, then his eyes turned cold. He stared at him for a moment, then smiled casually and transmitted the message in the same voice, but his tone was a little disdainful.

"Is this the justice you want... naive"

Then he turned around and walked away, as if he didn't care about all this, because in fact the so-called justice has never changed... the strong still rule over the weak.

It’s just that the weak ones before have now become strong ones, and the rules are still the rules, nothing is different.

Jiang Zheng thought he had successfully resisted injustice, but in fact it was only his own success.

"Boy, this justice is only for you!

This is not justice for all people in the world!

Justice always exists, but injustice will always exist!

The strong prey on the weak, the strong oppress the weak, this is the way of heaven!"

Just when Jiang Zheng was feeling proud of being the winner, he heard Lan Tianyu's earnest words, which sounded like an elder's earnest instruction to a younger generation.

He raised his head, but there was no trace of Lan Tianyu in front of him. Instead, he felt powerless, like punching cotton.

Looking at the noisy crowd, he suddenly smiled bitterly, feeling that he was a little childish, as if what he was pursuing had become a joke.

Because when he looked back on what he had gained from more than ten years of hard study, he couldn't think of a single word to refute. His brows were furrowed, and he thought hard for a long time. His mind was empty, and it seemed that there were only two words left... Heaven's Way.

…

Contribution Hall.

Jiang Zheng flew down, his purple robe adding a bit of majesty to him.

Looking at the pure white palace door, I felt a little emotional.

This was his second time coming to the Contribution Hall. All the bad consequences since he joined the sect started from here. Now he came again, but entered as an elder.

"Welcome Elder Jiang!"

As soon as he entered the hall, three disciples hurried forward to greet him respectfully.

They knew that Luke Dong had died in the hunting contest, and from now on, the young man in front of them would be the new owner of the Contribution Hall.

All matters concerning the Contribution Hall must be subject to Jiang Zheng's approval. Not only that, the young man in front of him is also the elder of the Punishment Hall, holding the power to kill disciples.

This forced them to be careful, fearing that if the other party became unhappy, they would be in great trouble.

"No need to be so polite, the rest of the disciples can go back first."

Jiang Zheng and the other disciples who were trading waved their hands. They looked at each other and bowed in tacit understanding to leave.

Then Jiang Zheng took a quick look and sat directly in Luke Dong's seat, saying calmly:

"Tell me about the Contribution Hall."

After leaving the Stage of Life and Death, although he obtained a cave after becoming an elder, he was not in a hurry to go back.

Instead, he decided to take over the power first. After thinking about it, the first thing he thought of was the Contribution Hall.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Contribution Hall is the most important place in the entire sect. All the sect's cultivation resources are distributed and allocated by the Contribution Hall.

All the natural treasures obtained by the disciples during their outdoor training will be exchanged for cultivation resources here as soon as possible.

As a result, the Contribution Hall of Elders naturally became the one with the most money, and the other elders were vying to sit here.

After Luke Dong's death, other elders had been coveting this position. After the battle on the life and death stage, the news of Lan Tianyu's canonization spread throughout Lingxi Mountain.

None of the elders expected that a dark horse would emerge in the end and an unknown person would sit here.

The three disciples did not dare to be negligent and each took out a booklet.

"Replying to the elder, this month..."

A disciple spoke first and began to read from the booklet.

They read one after another, making Jiang Zheng drowsy. After more than half an hour, Jiang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Stop! How many spiritual stones do you think are in the account?"

"Reporting to the elder, the total number is more than 238,000."

"Hiss... so many, where did the sect get all these spirit stones?"

Jiang Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air. Spirit stones were so precious. The richest of the cultivators he had killed only had a few dozen.

Even Luke Dong only had a little over a hundred spirit stones on him, how could there be so many spirit stones in the Contribution Hall's account? !

Where do these spirit stones come from?

He only knew that spiritual stones were valuable, but he didn't know where they came from. Were they stones from the mountains or treasures from the water?

"Replying to the elder, this spiritual stone is produced by the sect's Lingxi Spring, which can produce between 40,000 and 50,000 pieces every year."

"Lingxi Spring?"

"Yes, the sect was born in a blessed land called Lingxi Spring. The spiritual energy it produces flows around Lingxi Mountain like water, and the sect got its name from this."

The disciple answered respectfully on the surface, but in his heart he was complaining about how Jiang Zheng, as an elder, didn't even know this basic common sense. After hesitating for a moment, he said:

"There are many kinds of blessed lands, some are born naturally, and some are created by nature. According to legend, the Lingxi sect of our sect was opened up by the founder of the sect with supreme means, seizing the fortune of heaven and earth."

Acquired creation... Ancestor?

Isn’t that Senior Xiao from Xiao Qiuhe?

Didn’t he say that he was the one who found this paradise?

The name was chosen to commemorate the ancestors, but it seems that these are just coincidences.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Zheng came to the conclusion and smiled slightly. It seemed that the descendants had passed on the information incorrectly. However, he did not expose it. If he really exposed it, it would be a slap in the face of Senior Xiao.

But this Contribution Hall is really rich. I can’t imagine how quickly the cultivation level would increase with the countless spirit stones piled up!

Then why does Luke Dong, who has been in charge of the Contribution Hall for so many years, have so few spirit stones on him?

Jiang Zheng thought of another unreasonable thing. Could it be that Luke Dong was really an honest official?

How is it possible? How can a person who is willing to kill people to seize opportunities be an honest official?

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and there was only one possibility left!

Luke Dong did not carry the spirit stone on his body, but hid it somewhere else. Where was it hidden?

It seems... I have to go to Luke Dong's mansion. Things without an owner will be taken by those who are destined to own them.

"Elder, Elder Jiang!"

The three of them saw that Jiang Zheng was distracted with a lewd smile on his face, and they all looked at him strangely.

"Uh...it's okay. Where were we talking about?"

Jiang Zheng came back to his senses, realized that he had lost his composure, and felt a little embarrassed.

The disciples came again and bowed respectfully in a rush.

"Stop, tell me if Luke Dong was in power before..."

Jiang Zheng paused, stretched out three fingers and rubbed them together, with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."

"Elder Jiang! This... I don't know!"

He clearly understood what I meant and looked extremely embarrassed.

"Speak!" Jiang Zheng's face turned cold, and he threatened deliberately: "The Contribution Hall is now under the management of this elder, so just tell the truth, otherwise..."

"yes!"

He didn't dare to offend Jiang Zheng, and after hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.

"Elder Lu would deduct a sum from the monthly allowance given to disciples every month, but I did not embezzle it, it's just..."

"How much?" Jiang Zheng interrupted.

"Every disciple will be deducted a spirit stone," he said truthfully. The other two stood aside with their heads down, eyes to nose, mouth to heart. They seemed calm, but in fact their legs were shaking.

No one knows what kind of person this new elder in charge is. If he is an iron-faced and impartial person, once he is found out, all three of them will be doomed.

Because when Luke Dong was corrupt before, he would give them some sweet rewards, although not much, but that was only compared to the amount of corruption Luke Dong had embezzled.

The worst thing is, let alone investigate this matter, just ask any disciple and they will know. Before, Lu Kedong could have covered it up, but now...

If we really want to take it to a serious level, the lightest punishment they will receive in the Punishment Hall is to have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect, which is almost the same as killing them.

What's more, the young man sitting in front of them is the elder of the Punishment Hall, so they are really a perfect match!

"Haha, there are so many disciples in Lingxi Sect. If each of them takes one, how many will we get?!"

Jiang Zheng slammed the table and said angrily:

"That is to say, for such a long time, all the spirit stones received by all the disciples have been withheld by one. What a big trick!

What crime have you committed for keeping the entire sect in the dark? ! ! "
