C536 Penalty for Seizure
"Chief Disciple Xie Di, many years ago, was jealous of my father Jin Chongzhen's position in the Tianzhao Courtyard. He used his identity as the head disciple to make my father refine a Medicine Pill.
"Damn Xie Di!"
Jin Baofann sighed. Helplessness and pain were all that he needed.
"In all these years, I've had countless nightmares, and I've also thought of taking revenge on him, but my strength and that of the chief disciple are on completely different levels. He's a superior True Immortal, and all these years, I've only had Fourth Grade Half-immortal.
"He is the popular figure in Protector Wen's eyes, and I …"
No one knew the pain in Jin Baofann's heart. He had been deeply buried for so many years, and the desire to kill his eldest disciple had always existed, never disappearing.
"Zhang Fann, I have heard about the things that happened between you and Gongsuen Jian. With your Third Grade Half-immortal's cultivation, you fought against the six Third Grade Half-immortal subordinates of Gongsuen Jian, and you even killed Gongsuen Jian, so much so that even the three Fourth Grade Half-immortal brothers that followed were easily killed by you. I admire your spirit and talent, and I can roughly guess that the reason you used Ice Cloud Fruit s and Shattered Cloud Sand s, was probably for this Cold Moon Cauldron, or rather, not Cold Moon Cauldron s sake."
Jin Baofann looked at Yuelun who was outside of the Cold Moon Cauldron. His eyes were gloomy, and he did not continue speaking, but he was immersed in his memories.
"Messenger Jin, if I can obtain the Ice Cloud Fruit, I can consider the request to kill the chief disciple." Zhang Haorann said indifferently.
Consider?
Jin Baofann turned around and looked at Zhang Haorann.
"Alright, that's it." Jin Baofann said, "The Tianzhao Pond Trial can start in a few days. I have already reported this matter to Protector Wen, and when Protector Wen returns in a few days, we can immediately begin the Tianzhao Pond Trial. I believe that you will not disappoint me."
Zhang Haorann nodded. No problem.
With Jin Baofann gone, it could be seen that Fatty was interested in a lot of things about Zhang Haorann. However, Fatty did not ask any further questions.
Zhang Haorann's Yin Yang True Fire, Yin Yang Power, and his mysterious sword art.
Back then in the market, when Zhang Haorann revealed his ace in the hole, many Half Immortals in the market were shocked. They knew that Zhang Haorann could use Yin Yang Power s, but they didn't know that Zhang Haorann was carrying Yin Yang True Fire with him.
Only a few people would be able to discover the Yin Yang True Fire hidden within the Earth Pole True Fire, and Fatty Jin Baofann was one of them.
The date for the Tianzhao Pond Trial was set. Five days later.
The news spread out.
Tianzhao Courtyard, over twenty thousand Half Immortals were in an uproar, they did not expect that guy called Zhang Fann to be so serious, to actually participate in the Tianzhao Pond Trial.
The location of the cave was in the west side cave of the Tianzhao Pond. It was rumored that the west side cave was a cultivation cave left behind by a Golden Core Earth Immortal that was even more powerful than the Purple Mansion True Immortal. Later on, the west side cave was remodeled by the Qingyu Sect and set up with Magical Formation s to test the disciples of the sect.
In every Luo King Realm, the Golden Core Earth Immortal was a super strong practitioner that was hard to come by. Let alone ordinary people, even in the rare Purple Mansion True Immortal of the Luo King Realm, it was hard to see the Golden Core Earth Immortal.
The Tianzhao Pond Trial was set up in the Fuxi Cave.
The trial was split into three parts: Killing Array, Illusory Formation, and Trap Formation.
The first part was a killing array. The water in the west part of the cave would be compressed to the extreme and would form a chaotic current, requiring the disciple to use the Dao Body Vital Energy to protect their body and defend against the rushing of the water current.
The second part was about Illusory Formation s. Among the Illusory Formation s, disciples would be able to see that inside the west cave, the Sect Leader Qingyu Sect had turned into a shadow of the Golden Core Earth Immortal, cutting through thistles and thorns, killing millions of enemies. The disciples would see these fictitious scenes, and if their minds were unsteady, they would be controlled by the Illusory Formation.
In the past, many disciples who participated in the Tianzhao Pond Trial fell amongst the Illusory Formation. When they failed, they would also cause their minds to be affected by the Illusory Formation, making it difficult for them to improve in the future.
The third section was called the Trap Formation, and the west river current was formed from True Essence, condensing into clones that had the same strength as the disciples, a total of seventy-nine clones. The disciples had to defeat all the clones, and show off their potential and extraordinary strength.
The Trap Formation not only tested the disciple's strength, but also the magical equipment that the disciple possessed.
With the addition of a magic tool, he would be able to unleash even more power.
This was also the final goal of the Trap Formation Trial, to surpass himself!
Thirty years ago, the last disciple to pass the Tianzhao Pond Trial was the tiger-headed one. At that time, with his Fourth Grade Half-immortal cultivation, coupled with his magical equipment, he spent two days in the Tianzhao Pond Trial, experiencing life and death, and relied on the Choicest Magic Tool.
Choicest Magic Tool s were used by Fifth Grade Half-immortal and True Immortals. Only the Fifth Grade Half-immortal's stock of Dao Body Vital Energy s and the True Essence possessed by True Immortals were able to activate the Choicest Magic Tool.
What the tiger head had was an incomplete Choicest Magic Tool, so he could use the Fourth Grade Half-immortal.
After him, in the past thirty years, no one had dared to attempt the Tianzhao Pond Trial. There had been a few disciples who had complained that Qingyu Sect had reduced the difficulty of the Tianzhao Pond Trial.
There were still three days until the Tianzhao Pond Trial. Two days later, Zhang Haorann would sit quietly in his private house, and Su Chen and Mo Jia would occasionally come over.
On the other hand, Jin Baofann had never come here before. Zhang Haorann heard from Su Chen that Jin Baofann had disappeared in the past two days and ran off somewhere.
Zhang Haorann had asked Su Chen and Mo Jia about the top disciple.
Su Chen said that the Chief Disciple Xie Di was a rarely seen person and was a very unfriendly True Immortal. Only Protector Wen could summon him and even envoys would have a hard time meeting the Chief Disciple.
Mo Jia, on the other hand, provided an unexpected clue, saying that the chief disciple was even one step ahead of Protector Wen in Tianzhao Courtyard, and in terms of strength, the chief disciple was not much weaker than Protector Wen. The chief disciple could have become the protector of Tianzhao Courtyard, but for some reason, the chief disciple was willing to give up.
"Is there a connection between them?" Zhang Haorann asked.
"Absolutely not, I can guarantee that." Mo Jia shook her head. "Speaking of which, the chief disciple used to come here as an exchange disciple."
Exchange for disciples?
Zhang Haorann's heart skipped a beat.
The meaning of exchanging disciples was to exchange disciples between the sects in order to achieve the goal of communicating with each other.
He was a bit surprised that the head disciple, Xie Di, was actually an exchange disciple.
"Which sect?" Zhang Haorann asked.
Mo Jia and Su Chen looked at each other, unsure of whether they should say it or not.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it." Zhang Haorann smiled faintly.
Mo Jia said in a low voice: "After Xie Di comes to the Tianzhao Courtyard, he often likes to do some wicked things. I once accidentally saw my aunt scold Xie Di, saying that Xie Di is a lackey of the 'Yellow Dragon Sword Sect', and he has the background of an exchange disciple. Once he comes to the Qingyu Sect, he will behave himself and not do anything that he shouldn't have done.
"Be quiet?" What did Xie Di do then? " Zhang Haorann asked.
"It seems to be something that would harm Tianzhao Courtyard." Mo Jia said, "My aunt would only get angry when it concerns the Tianzhao Courtyard itself."
Zhang Haorann understood.
From the looks of it, the Yellow Dragon Sword Sect had gone extinct in the long history of the sect. Xie Di came to the Qingyu Sect as an exchange student before the destruction of the Yellow Dragon Sword Sect probably for some reason that Wen Lann found out, stopped, and reprimanded him.
This Qingyu Sect is really chaotic!
Shouts of surprise came from outside.
"Su Chen, go take a look." Zhang Haorann said.
"Alright." Su Chen went to open the door.
Outside the door, the Half Immortals were all rushing in a certain direction. Only a youth was standing cautiously in front of the door. After seeing Su Chen open the door, he pointed to the interior of the house, indicating that he could enter.
Su Chen turned around and looked at Zhang Haorann. Seeing him nod, she let the young man in.
"Zhang Fann, I'm Messenger Jin's nephew." Zhang Fann, I'm Messenger Jin's nephew. The young man ran to Zhang Haorann and handed the black bag in his pocket to him. "You can't let others see you, or else you will be killed!"
The young man made a slashing motion with his neck.
"What's going on outside?" Zhang Haorann asked
The young man hesitated for a while, then mumbled, "Don't worry about it, Zhang Fann. Zhang Fann, my uncle believes in you. Regardless of whether or not you can help my uncle, he hopes that you can seriously consider my uncle's request."
After which, the youth left.
Su Chen closed the door.
"I think I heard the word 'body stealing'. Su Chen, I didn't hear wrong, right?" Mo Jia shouted.
Zhang Haorann put the black bag into his private room and left with Mo Jia and Su Chen.
The three of them walked out of the private residence and followed the Half Immortals. They arrived at a wide area.
Tens of thousands of half-Immortals had all arrived.
Something big must have happened, or else so many immortals would have come.
As the crowd gathered, Zhang Haorann's gaze swept in front of him. His pupils constricted as he saw a shocking scene.
At the very front, there was a support frame. The support frame was tied to a person's arm, and the chain was tied to that person's arm, holding it up high.
That person was someone Zhang Haorann was very familiar with.
"It's Messenger Jin!" Zhang Haorann blurted out.
The crowd was filled with the voices of the Half Immortals.
"Jin Baofann is in trouble."
"He actually dares to steal from Hundred Herb Hall."
"This person is always smiling. How could he do such a thing?"
"Whoever steals something from Hundred Herb Hall will receive the punishment from Tianzhao Courtyard 'Stealing'. I heard that the one who carries out the punishment in a while is the chief disciple, Xie Di."
The crowd went into an uproar. The Chief Disciple rarely showed up, but it was actually to punish Jin Baofann.
When people went down in status, they had changed their way of addressing him. Previously, they called Jin Baofann an emissary, but now, they called him Fatty instead. Some even called him by his name.
"Mo Jia, what is the punishment of seizing the body?" Zhang Haorann asked.
Mo Jia said, "These are the Qingyu Sect's special punishment rules, prepared for those disciples who have committed serious violations of the rules."
"Within three days, we will thoroughly investigate the violation of the rules by the disciples. If you have any regrets, you can leave the Earth Pill for its revival. If you do not have any regrets, the Earth Pill will be exterminated, never to be recovered."
With that, Mo Jia shook her head with a dejected expression, "Luckily, Messenger Jin has the pinnacle Earth Dao Body. After he dies, the Earth Pill in his body can be revived, but looking at the current situation, if the head disciple personally punishes Messenger Jin, he probably won't be given the chance to revive. The two of them are too close, why would Messenger Jin go back to the Hundred Herb Hall to steal something? I really don't understand. He's not like that. "
Mo Jia would joke around with Jin Baofann occasionally, but she knew that the fatty did not have a bad heart. He was a kind person.
