That Qiu Kong was kicked off the cliff by Zhou Yuan and fell unconscious.
However, half an hour later, a disciple rushed over and saw that Qiu Kong was still alive, so he casually fed him a pill.
Not long after, Qiu Kong woke up and turned around.
After Qiu Kong woke up, he did not return to Leiyuan Peak, but limped straight to the peak where the core disciples were.
The purpose of his coming to Leiyuan Peak was to cause trouble for Zhou Yuan. Now that Zhou Yuan is out of seclusion, he naturally has no reason to stay in Leiyuan Peak anymore.
For him, it was a blessing that Zhou Yuan did not allow him to enter the arena of life and death and spared his life.
However, he was not grateful for it.
At the core mountain peak, inside the broad and majestic hall.
Qiu Kong walked in with difficulty. He was covered in blood and his eyes were in a mess.
Everyone around looked at him with shock in their eyes.
"Qiu Kong, I didn't ask you to go to Leiyuan Peak to challenge Zhou Yuan, why did you end up like this?" Yun Zheng, the young man at the top, frowned slightly when he saw Qiu Kong's appearance.
This is Yun Zheng's small court, so there is no need to shy away from anything he says.
Qiu Kong knelt on the ground with a plop, blood still pouring from his mouth. He said in a hoarse voice: "Back to the Third Highness, that Zhou Yuan... is very strong, I can't beat him..."
Hearing this, everyone around was shocked again.
Qiu Kong's appearance is obviously related to Zhou Yuan.
You know, Qiu Kong was a core disciple, but he was seriously injured by the inner disciples. This shows that Zhou Yuan's strength is not limited to the inner disciples.
I'm afraid that Zhou Yuan will break through the back two floors of the Seven Star Tower and enter the core soon.
This speed is really terrifying for everyone. In just three months, he was promoted from a handyman disciple to the core. There has never been such a precedent in history.
"Huh, useless stuff." Yun Zheng scolded with a frown.
It is already a shame for a core disciple to be seriously injured by an inner disciple, not to mention that Qiu Kong is one of his own, Yun Zheng's.
"Your Highness, I... have tried my best. Please arrange for me to be healed. I feel so uncomfortable..." Qiu Kong's face was distorted, blood was bleeding from his mouth, and his chest was heaving violently.
Yun Zheng winked at Xiao Yang who was next to him, and then Xiao Yang went over and helped Qiu Kong into the inner hall.
At this moment, Yun Zheng's expression was a little uncertain. At first, he only thought that Zhou Yuan was just a small stumbling block and did not take it seriously. As a result, he repeatedly let it go. Now, Zhou Yuan's growth rate has exceeded
captured his imagination.
After a while, Yun Zheng dismissed everyone in the main hall and entered the inner hall alone.
Inner Temple.
Qiu Kong took some elixirs and was doing exercises in the room to heal his injuries.
Henry Zhang was pacing back and forth outside the room, looking a little hesitant and looking ferocious.
Zhou Yuan grew up too fast, which obviously affected him. He was afraid of Zhou Yuan's rise, afraid that Zhou Yuan would take away his third-grade Red Flame Martial Arts Seal, and afraid that Zhou Yuan would destroy his family.
This worry faintly turned into fear.
When Yun Zheng walked in and saw Henry Zhang's expression, he couldn't help but look stunned.
"How do you look so panicked? How can a mere Zhou Yuan scare you like this?" Yun Zheng said sharply.
Henry Zhang quickly stopped and saluted respectfully.
He frowned and said, "Your Highness, the Third Highness, does not know something. I once sent an outer disciple back to my hometown to deliver a message. As a result, more than half a year has passed, and there has been no news from him and he has not come back."
"Could he be in danger along the way?" Yun Zheng asked.
Henry Zhang shook his head, "I don't know. Two months ago, a letter came from home, but I didn't read it."
"Why don't you watch?"
Yun Zheng was speechless for a while. This guy Zhang Yang had a letter from home and didn't even bother to read it.
Henry Zhang waved his hands, looking indifferent, "It's all trivial things at home, so don't worry about it."
Hearing this, Yun Zheng frowned immediately.
"You're confused. Since there's a letter, why don't you read it? How can you know if that outer disciple has gone to your hometown without reading it?" Yun Zheng said speechlessly.
Henry Zhang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he seemed to be awakened by a word, and suddenly became enlightened.
This is not stupidity, this is confusion, this is contempt for the opponent.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the heads up. I'll go and see it right away." Henry Zhang immediately turned around and walked out of the hall.
Henry Zhang was speechless at his stupidity. After a while, he returned to his mountain peak and walked into the study. In an inconspicuous corner, a crumpled letter was placed there, covered with dust.
The Xiao family was destroyed and Liu Kuang died. Xiao Yang didn't know all this.
Even Henry Zhang didn't think about this aspect, so he didn't read the letters from home for two months.
After a pause, Henry Zhang opened the letter and took a look. As a result, the more he looked down, the paler his face became and the more ferocious his expression became.
"How is it possible? How could this happen?" Henry Zhang was heartbroken.
The content of the letter is naturally about Zhou Yuan's destruction of the Xiao family, Xiao Batian's death, the Xiao family's decline from the first aristocratic family in Tianluo City to a small and inferior family, and the death of all the senior members of the Xiao family, including Liu.
Some things about the situation.
Henry Zhang suddenly felt heartache.
No wonder Zhou Yuan dared to come to the imperial capital alone. No wonder Zhou Yuan said before that it was impossible for the Xiao family to destroy the Zhou family.
It turns out that the Xiao family had already been destroyed by Zhou Yuan.
At this moment, Henry Zhang was extremely regretful and regretted not opening the letter two months ago.
If he had known about this two months earlier, he would have rushed to Leiyuan Peak and slapped Zhou Yuan to death.
"Father...ah..." Xiao Yang's heart twisted, and he raised his head and let out a roar. Suddenly, the entire palace where he was was turned into ruins.
At least half a year has passed since his father was killed, and Henry Zhang didn’t know about it until now, which has to be said to be ironic.
If I had known this, it would not have been Liu Kuang who went back in the first place, but himself.
If you go back by yourself, you might be able to save your father.
After Henry Zhang roared wildly for a while, he immediately calmed down. He took the letter and turned to Yun Zheng's mountain peak.
"Your Highness, I can't wait any longer. I'm going to kill that Zhou Yuan now and avenge my father and my clan." Xiao Yang's eyes were red, and his face was filled with ferocious color.
Yun Zheng's expression changed slightly, he took the letter in Henry Zhang's hand and took a look at it, and quickly understood the situation.
"Good brother, calm down first. When Zhou Yuan slaughtered your family and killed your parents, you just killed him. Wouldn't it be too easy for him?" Yun Zheng said sadly.
Henry Zhang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "No, I want Zhou Yuan to suffer all kinds of pain and torture, and finally die in depression. Only in this way can the hatred in my heart be relieved."
Yun Zheng smiled lightly, "I have a plan to plunge him into an endless abyss."
Henry Zhang looked at Yun Zheng, knelt down on one knee and said: "Please help me get my revenge, Your Highness. In this life, Xiao Yang is willing to do your best for Your Highness."
Yun Zheng quickly stepped forward and helped Xiao Yang up.
Henry Zhang asked: “Your Highness, what is the plan?”
"Framed." Yun Zheng said two words.
Then, Yun Zheng leaned into Henry Zhang’s ear and whispered his plan.
Henry Zhang suddenly realized.
"Let's go to the dungeon." Yun Zheng said.
Xiao Yang can be said to be the person Yun Zheng trusts most, and he will tell him everything. As for the dungeon built by Yun Zheng on his mountain peak, only Xiao Yang and a few trustworthy people know about it.
And this is Seven Star Academy, not a real court.
It is a secret that Yun Zheng built the dungeon here.
Before going to the dungeon, Yun Zheng walked to the room where Qiu Kong was recovering from his injuries and pushed the door open.
The door was opened, and Qiu Kong suddenly woke up.
Yun Zheng glanced at Qiu Kong and said, "Qiu Kong, come with us."
"Your Highness..." Henry Zhang looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.
This Qiu Kong was not Yun Zheng's confidant, and naturally he didn't know about the dungeon under the palace. Yun Zheng took Qiu Kong with him before leaving. Could it be that he had plans to make Qiu Kong his confidant?
However, Yun Zheng did not explain to Henry Zhang.
Qiu Kong didn't ask much about the reason. His injuries were only half healed and he could barely walk, so he immediately jumped out of bed.
Together, the three of them followed a secret passage and entered the dark and damp dungeon.
"Your Highness, where is this place?" Qiu Kong came here for the first time and was shocked to see such a scene.
"This is the prison specially set up by the prince for lynching."
Yun Zheng turned around and looked at Qiu Kong with cold eyes.
Seeing this terrifying look, Qiu Kong's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly took two steps back, "Your Highness, why did you bring me here? I am loyal to you?"
"Huh, no matter how sincere you are, it's of no use at all. Isn't it just a waste of food?" Yun Zheng instantly turned his face.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Yang on the side understood Yun Zheng's intention of bringing Qiu Kong here.
He didn't have much friendship with Qiu Kong, so naturally he wouldn't plead for him, he would just stand aside and watch with cold eyes.
thump!
Qiu Kong immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed to Yun Zheng, and said: "Your Highness, spare your life, please don't..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Zheng stepped forward and kicked Qiu Kong in the abdomen.
Qiu Kong suddenly let out a shrill scream, his body rolled several feet away, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. The originally recovered injuries collapsed again, and this time it was even more serious.
Yun Zheng's terrifying kick from the ninth level of foundation building directly shattered the Dantian under Qiu Kong's lower abdomen.
"Ah...my Dantian, my cultivation..." Qiu Kong's face was twisted and in great pain.
He didn't expect that after he had worked so hard to practice, Yun Zheng would cripple him.
Yun Zheng took a few steps forward, looked down at Qiu Kong coldly, and said calmly: "You have two ways to go now, or you can stay in this place forever, live in the darkness like a dog, and never be known to outsiders.
Or, do one last thing for me, and I'll make sure you have enough food and clothing in your next life."
"What's the matter?" Qiu Kong shrank on the ground and asked with a trembling voice. He had become a useless person, and he was not willing to stay here to linger.
Yun Zheng took a deep breath and said proudly: "It's very simple. As long as you accuse Zhou Yuan to Law Enforcement Peak, saying that he destroyed your Dantian without signing a life and death document, and let Zhou Yuan's punishment be implemented, I will let you go."
You return."
"This complaint must be made accurately. Zhou Yuan beat you seriously before, and the Lei Yuan Peak disciples saw it with their own eyes. There are so many people testifying for you. It is difficult for Zhou Yuan to defend himself. I believe you are also willing to take revenge on Zhou Yuan.
Right?" Henry Zhang on the side also added.
Qiu Kong fell into deep thought for a short time.
Only then did he understand that Yun Zheng had abolished his cultivation in order to plot against Zhou Yuan.
"Okay, I promise the Third Highness, and I hope that the Third Highness will fulfill his promise." Qiu Kong finally agreed.
Yun Zheng raised his hand and threw a bottle of healing elixir to Qiu Kong, and said calmly: "I am true to my word, so I am worried about you... If you betray me, don't blame me for being ruthless. As far as I know,
You were born into an inconspicuous little family in the imperial capital, and you also have a biological sister..."
Yun Zheng knew everything about Qiu Kong.
Qiu Kong's eyes flashed with cold light, and he kowtowed quickly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will never betray you."
"Okay, you heal here first. Henry Zhang keeps an eye on him, and I'll go find the others." After Yun Zheng said that, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the dungeon alone.
“Is there anyone else here?” Henry Zhang was shocked. He didn’t expect that even he would be kept in the dark.
After a while, Yun Zheng came back again.
Under the dim firelight, behind Yun Zheng, there were two figures following.
These two figures were unkempt and disheveled, as if they had not washed themselves for a long time.
"Gu Lin? Nangong Shao?"
When they got closer, Henry Zhang and Qiu Kong could see the two people clearly.
The next moment, both of them widened their eyes and felt startled.
Rumor has it that Gu Lin and Nangong Shao both disappeared more than a month ago. The disciples of Law Enforcement Peak searched everywhere for their whereabouts, but to no avail.
The news spread throughout the Seven Star Academy, and the disciples had different opinions and guessed various possibilities.
However, no one expected that the two of them had been imprisoned in this place by Yun Zheng for more than a month.
Yun Zheng turned his head, looked at Gu Lin and Nangong Shao and said, "I want to make Zhou Yuan fall into a bottomless abyss. Do you know how to do it?"
"I know, I know, just say that Zhou Yuan imprisoned me and destroyed our cultivation. After all the hard work, I was rescued by His Highness the Third Highness." Gu Lin quickly bowed and said.
Nangong Shao on the side also nodded repeatedly.
Only then did Xiao Yang see that the Dantians of Gu Lin and Nangong Shao were all broken just like Qiu Kong.
They were all loyal to His Highness the Third Highness, but what they got in exchange was such a tragic ending.
However, Xiao Yang did not feel the slightest pity in his heart, and even considered the problem from Yun Zheng's point of view. He, Xiao Yang, possessed third-grade red flames and was among the best peerless geniuses in the entire Seven Star Academy.
A person like him would naturally not be abandoned by Yun Zheng like these three people.
Yun Zheng looked at the three of them proudly and said with a smile: "Very good, I know your relatives and family background very well, so you'd better not betray me. Now you three, go to the Law Enforcement Peak with me to report Zhou."
Yuan."
Gu Lin, Qiu Kong, and Nangong Shao were all respectful and did not dare to disobey.
Especially Gu Lin and Nangong Shao, they seem to be suffering terribly these days.
The reason why Nangong Shao was targeted by Yun Zheng was because he lost his position as the heir apparent to the Nangong family, one of the nine great families.
Without the title of heir apparent, it will be difficult to become the head of the Nangong family in the future, and in this case, there will be no use value.
"Your Highness, then I..." Henry Zhang was stunned for a moment.
Yun Zheng took the three of them to Law Enforcement Peak to plot against Zhou Yuan, so what should he do?
Yun Zheng paused, then looked at Henry Zhang, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: "Brother, you forgot, you asked Liu Kuang to deliver a message to your family, but he died in Zhou Yuan's hands for no reason.
According to the rules of the academy, this is an act of harming a fellow disciple, so with this letter as evidence, you can go directly to my master to report this matter, and he will definitely come forward for this matter."
"And I will go to the Law Enforcement Peak. We will attack from both sides. This time, even if Zhou Yuan is extremely capable, he will not be able to escape the law."
Immediately, Yun Zheng said again: "We use the hospital rules to deal with Zhou Yuan, why bother to take action anymore?"
Upon hearing these words, Henry Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
What Yun Zheng said is right. Instead of taking action, it is better to use the topic.
These few things are enough to plunge Zhou Yuan into an abyss. Even if he can't die, he can still shed his skin. Will he be kneaded by him at will?
Several people walked out of the dungeon, separated into two groups, and left immediately.
…
Leiyuan Peak.
Inside a mansion.
There were delicious dishes and fine wines on the table, and there were more than a dozen people sitting in front of and behind them.
Although there are not many people, we are all very good friends.
"Congratulations, brother, the retreat is over and your strength has greatly increased."
"Congratulations."
Yun Chen, Jing He, Nangong He, Su Ruobing, Huang Yuan and others raised their glasses and toasted to Zhou Yuan.
Before the retreat, Zhou Yuan swept through the inner sect and became an invincible being. After the retreat, he obeyed the teachings of his core disciple Qiu Kong.
No matter who you say this to, it will cause a sensation and be admired by others.
Zhou Yuan has always kept a low profile, and immediately said: "I should thank you all for helping me block Qiu Kong, doing things for me, and protecting me in the past ten days. There is no way to repay this friendship. It's all in the wine."
After drinking a glass of strong wine, everyone felt that the friendship between everyone had become much deeper.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce you to everyone. This is Aoki You and this is Sanyan. They are the core disciples and my best friends. They will also be everyone's friends from now on."
Yun Chen pointed at the two people next to him and introduced them with a smile.
Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, and then he looked at the two people.
One of the young men has a blue mark between his eyebrows, is dressed in silver robes, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very honest. He is Aoki You.
There is another woman who is also wearing a silver robe. She has an outstanding appearance. There are three dots of red sand between her eyebrows, which is exactly the three colors.
He had already heard about the two of them, but he had never met them until today.
The two of them had never been involved in worldly affairs at Seven Star Academy, nor had they ever been in a life-and-death arena, but they were still Yunchen's friends.
According to Yun Chen, Qingmu You came from a certain tribe in the south. The folk customs of that tribe were extremely simple and honest, and everyone was kind and generous to others. Therefore, Qingmu You received this kind of influence since he was a child.
As for Sanyan, she is the daughter of a court minister. She grew up with Yunchen, and they are childhood sweethearts.
Immediately, several people raised their glasses and toasted to Aoki You and Sanyan.
As expected, the two of them had no airs and responded immediately.
Soon, the two parties became familiar with each other. Occasionally, they would ask each other a few questions, and they would always answer their questions, especially those about you in terms of spiritual practice.
After a while, Zhou Yuan looked at Yun Chen and asked a question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Your Highness, I want to ask you about someone, have you ever heard of Jiang Ziyue?" Zhou Yuan asked.
