Dashing Student-Chapter 1291: Fall from Grace

Yi Mingzi has always maintained a friendly demeanor in the camp, since he was here to gain experience, and thus even if he was pretending, he had to maintain a good facade.

Many cultivators in the camp had a high opinion of him, completely different from Chen Nan and his group.

But at this moment, his hair was disheveled, a deep fist mark marred his face, with bones broken, blood staining half of his face, coupled with a ferocious expression, he looked like a demon.

The prior gentleness and peace had completely vanished, leaving only brutality, shocking many cultivators.

"Jue Mingzi, my master is Master Canglan, dare to hit me, you are dead!"

Chen Nan spread his hands, a faint smile on his face: "Sir, it’s important to provide evidence, who saw me hit you?"

Yi Mingzi’s gaze immediately fell on Master Xiaotian, as he was the only one in the tent before, but Master Xiaotian didn’t think much of him, so how could he testify for him?

"Heh, I am old, my eyesight isn’t good, I didn’t see anything just now."

"You!" Yi Mingzi was grinding his teeth, but soon he started to sneer: "Jue Mingzi, I heard you were surrounded by demon cultivators, how did you escape?"

"Could it be you were captured alive by the Demon Sect and came back as a spy?"

Master Xiaotian’s expression suddenly changed, he didn’t expect Yi Mingzi to be so vile, with a single sentence, not only could he erase all of Chen Nan’s merits but would also bring enormous trouble.

Before Chen Nan could speak, Deng Yunhe couldn’t hold back, stepping forward and exclaimed: "You coward, you target us, and after we killed so many demon cultivators and came back, you still suspect us?"

"According to you, we should die outside to make you happy, right? This matter, I must report to the higher-ups, let the elders judge, we risked our lives, can you erase our merits with a single word!"

With such a heavy accusation, all the cultivators in the camp looked at Yi Mingzi differently, no one wanted their hard-earned merits to be dismissed so easily.

"Nonsense, I was just making a reasonable guess!" Yi Mingzi still tried to defend himself.

Deng Yunhe clapped mockingly: "Oh, it was just a guess, I thought you had some evidence, turns out you were slandering us without evidence?"

"You don’t need to leave the camp, someone protects you, but do you know what we’ve been through outside? How ruthless the demon cultivators are, do you know?"

His words completely stirred the emotions of all the cultivators in the camp, they all stared at Yi Mingzi, expecting him to give an answer.

Yi Mingzi was filled with rage, but under the watchful eyes, he dared not overdo it; should the Righteous Alliance lose its credibility, who would risk their lives for them?

"Sorry, I wrongly accused you." He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, blood slowly dripping down his fingers.

This humiliation made the killing intent in his heart reach a peak: "Alright, well done, Jue Mingzi, this matter is far from over!"

He knew after this incident, his reputation would plummet, all his previous efforts wasted!

"Oh, it’s just a misunderstanding, we won’t hold it against you." Chen Nan smiled brightly: "But sir, you deliberately targeted us, this we must report."

"Luckily, Master Xiaotian is here, he’s our witness."

Yi Mingzi wished to tear Chen Nan apart; he had already admitted defeat, yet Chen Nan persisted, filling his heart with boundless hatred.

Unable to stay any longer, he turned and left: "Do as you wish."

But Chen Nan stopped him: "Sir, we’ve completed our mission, the Solid Soul Pill should be given to us, right? And you need to verify the demon cultivators’ corpses as well."

"Fine!" Yi Mingzi’s voice seemed to slip out through his teeth.

He knew today Chen Nan not only stepped on his dignity but wanted to ruin his reputation thoroughly.

Yet he endured, for only by enduring could he seek revenge!

After distributing the Solid Soul Pills to Chen Nan and his team, he started to inspect the demon cultivators’ corpses brought back by Chen Nan, which were piled into a small hill in front of him, totaling nearly two hundred people.

Not only did this far exceed Chen Nan and his team’s target, but the remaining demon cultivators’ corpses could also be exchanged for a huge amount of merit.

After completing all this, Yi Mingzi left with a flick of his sleeves, afraid he might die of anger if he stayed longer due to Chen Nan.

However, through today’s incident, his credibility in the camp had hit rock bottom, and even other cultivators lost faith in him, let alone merits, he might even face punishment.

Watching him leave in such a sorry state, Deng Yunhe and the others chuckled, as though they had won a great battle.

After he left, Master Xiaotian approached Chen Nan and firmly patted his shoulder: "You did well, but don’t go too far, Master Canglan is very powerful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Master, but we are in a death feud, even if I wished to make peace, he would not agree, so it’s better to escalate matters, at least they wouldn’t dare to act openly against us."

Chen Nan smiled, having thought it all through: "So please, for their deliberate targeting, help us testify, Master."

Master Xiaotian chuckled: "You, truly unwilling to suffer any losses; fine, I’ll help you this time, but be aware that open spears are easy to dodge, hidden arrows hard to guard, I’ll arrange for you to take a leave, go hide for a while."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Nan beamed with joy, agreeing immediately, as he had things of his own to pursue.

"You sure are blunt." Master Xiaotian tossed a jade bottle to Chen Nan: "Remember to return in two months."

Opening the jade bottle, Chen Nan found five Solid Soul Pills inside, giving them an extra month to rest.

"By the way, senior, there’s something I must mention." Chen Nan’s expression turned serious, recounted the events regarding the Demon Clan and their plans.

This revelation thoroughly changed Master Xiaotian’s expression: "No wonder, the Demon Sect has been acting crazy, killing thousands of our cultivators, it’s the Demon Clan’s doing."

"Rest assured, I’ll report this matter, your merits won’t go unrewarded."

Saying this, he hurriedly left, clearly, the Demon Clan’s matter was of great importance, he couldn’t delay.

"It would be great if the Righteous Alliance had more elders like Master Xiaotian." Chen Nan murmured.

With Master Xiaotian gone, other cultivators in the camp gathered around, inquiring about the exploits of Chen Nan and his group, filled with admiration in their hearts.

Chen Nan’s team had become the rising stars of the Righteous Alliance.
