Everyone was discussing the trip to the ruins, but their expressions suddenly changed. They all looked behind Zi Chen, as if they had seen something.
Cang He stood up, his aura surging as he stared behind Zi Chen, his eyes flickering.
"Swoosh."
Li Huo also stood up. The Xiantian True Qi around his body burned like a flame as he looked behind Zi Chen with fear.
Wu Xiong's face changed as streams of True Qi circled around his body, forming a light shield. Even Miao Kong showed a fearful expression.
Almost all the geniuses present were shocked, except for Su Mengyao and Lin Xue.
"It's you, why are you here?" Li Huo's body emitted a hostile aura, his eyes burning with flames.
"You're not welcome here." Wu Xiong was the same, as if he had seen a great enemy.
Cang He had previously displayed an aloof and indifferent appearance, but at this moment, his expression had turned ugly. "We didn't invite you. Leave quickly."
The three geniuses' expressions changed greatly, but it was far less than Ling Yun and Chen Feng's. The two of them looked behind Zi Chen like mice seeing a cat. Not only did they lose their composure, they even fell from their chairs, their eyes filled with fear.
Zi Chen had beaten the two of them to such a state, but they still refused to admit defeat, and were still resentful. But now, they lost their composure.
Just as everyone's expression changed, Zi Chen also felt a dangerous aura coming from behind. His feet flashed, and a golden light surged. He dodged in an instant, then turned around.
After that, he saw a dazzling ball of golden light.
"Baldy." Zi Chen frowned and whispered. The dazzling golden light turned out to be a human head.
After hearing Zi Chen's words, Cang He and the others were completely stunned. They knew the identity of this baldy, and his strength was unfathomable. Unlike Zi Chen, who was comparable to a monster, this baldy was a real monster. Even if they saw him, they would have to be courteous and fearful.
Zi Chen looked down at the bald head and saw a face with a benevolent countenance. The monk's robes were loose, and his belly was large. He looked like a Maitreya Buddha, but at this moment, there was no smile on his face. His pale golden eyes seemed to be filled with a crazy red light.
"It's this evil monk."
Zi Chen's heart trembled. This baldy was the evil monk who had broken his bones. After that, Zi Chen had tricked him.
Zi Chen's pupils constricted, and his mind trembled. He did it so that no one would notice. He descended and pretended to be a stranger. He said coldly, "Monk, are you a human or a ghost? Why did you suddenly appear behind me?"
"It's you, isn't it?" The monk only had eyes for Zi Chen, and did not care about others.
"Are you crazy? What do you mean it's me?" Zi Chen said coldly, but he felt that something was wrong. The monk seemed to have recognized him.
"It's you, isn't it? I saw the change in your eyes. You clearly recognized me."
The monk's eyes glowed red. He took a step forward, and the golden light around him became brighter. There was also a murderous intent spreading out.
Feeling the murderous intent, everyone's face changed. Chen Zi was strong, and there was still a great use for him.
"Evil Good Monk, this is the guest house. You can't cause trouble here." Cang He said first.
"You crazy monk, what's wrong with you today? Are you short of money again? We can give it to you, but you have to leave quickly." Wu Xiong said.
"Evil Monk, I'll give you vitality stones. Leave quickly."
Even the arrogant and conceited Li Huo revealed a fearful appearance at this moment, and he wanted to spend money to avoid calamity because he didn't want to be tainted by bad luck.
"Get lost. Is my thing something you can buy with your worthless vitality stones?" The monk turned around and glared at them. He was not polite at all. Mere geniuses were like ants in his eyes.
"Evil Good Monk, this is Cangli City. Don't be unreasonable." Cang He said coldly, not to be outdone.
"Unreasonable. F * ck, I want to take back what belongs to me."
The monk was so angry that he cursed. His eyes were red, and he had the urge to kill. A supreme secret manual had slipped from his hands. He regretted it so much.
"What do you mean by yours? You're too unreasonable. You almost cut off Ling Yun's arm for some vitality stones. What's wrong? What do you want from Chen Zi today?" Li Huo said coldly.
"F * ck, I want what belongs to me."
The monk roared in anger. He felt wronged. He had never suffered such a huge loss in his life.
"What belongs to you? You crazy monk, you broke Chen Feng's bones for some vitality stones. You even extorted a thousand vitality stones from him. You said that Chen Zi has something that belongs to you. Then tell me, what does he have?" Wu Xiong said.
Zi Chen was a powerful force. The main reason they were speaking up for Zi Chen was because they wanted to win over Zi Chen. Luckily, they would be able to reap greater rewards in the ruins.
Zi Chen looked at the monk coldly. He was shocked. This monk was indeed a weirdo. He had done all kinds of bad things. It seemed like the person he was talking about was Chen Feng. He actually gave him a thousand vitality stones.
No wonder he was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw the monk.
However, Lin Fan was not any better. The Scorching Flame Sword was snatched away by the monk.
"Monk, what do you mean? I've never seen you before. Why do you say that I took something from you? I, Chen Zi, do things with a clear conscience. If you don't know what I took from you, tell me. I'll give it to you as long as I have it."
Zi Chen said righteously. However, he was overjoyed. With three geniuses and three forces behind them, Zi Chen did not believe that the monk would dare to make a move.
"Yeah, monk. Tell me, what did he take from you?" Miao Kong said.
"Ah, him, him."
The monk screamed. The golden light around him became even brighter. He was filled with killing intent. The monk was crazy, but he did not dare to say what Zi Chen took from him. If he did, he would be the first to be dismembered by the Li Family.
"Monk, you asked for something from me, but you didn't say what I took from you. Are you really here to make trouble?" Zi Chen said.
"Hmph, he's always been an unreasonable person. He's famous in Cangli City."
"His name is Good and Evil Monk. Although he has the word 'good' in front of his name, he only does evil things. Cheating, cheating, and stealing are common, but he mostly snatches. It's normal for him to break the bones of others. However, he pretends to be merciful, saying that we're fated. His real intention is to cheat money. He's really an evil monk."
"He often talks about losing his lifespan. Every time he says that Buddha will help those who are fated. He doesn't hesitate to lose dozens of years of his lifespan. If that's really the case, he'll lose thousands of years of his lifespan in a year."
"He keeps saying that we're fated. He doesn't take a single cent. But in the blink of an eye, he asks for money for the Buddha's incense and oil. Moreover, he's like a lion. If he doesn't give it to him, he'll snatch it. However, the Buddha he worships has probably stopped burning incense."
"This monk broke all the bones in Chen Feng's body. He even said that things will move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. He swindled a thousand vitality stones from Chen Feng."
"This evil monk said that one of Ling Yun's arms has an internal injury. It will harm his body in the future. He almost lost his entire arm. Moreover, he swindled five hundred vitality stones from Ling Yun."
"Damn, this monk is an evil monk. He's crazy. He won't even let off the disciples of some aristocratic families. Even the disciples of the Cang and Li Families have been cheated by him."
Everyone chimed in, one after another, one after another.
Zi Chen was amused. He thought that this monk was really something. He had done all kinds of bad things, but he didn't do anything good. Instead, he pretended to be benevolent and said alarmist things to scare people. Thinking about how many people were in the same situation as him, Zi Chen felt relieved. Moreover, he didn't suffer any losses. He had obtained a priceless secret manual.
"I've never heard of anyone taking advantage of him."
"That's right. He can't say what it is. It's obvious that he's here for vitality stones like before."
"Monk, there are some vitality stones here. Take them and leave quickly. We have important matters to attend to today."
The geniuses spoke.
"Ah!"
The monk yelled. If he had hair, it would definitely be standing on end. "I'm taking my stuff."
He roared, but he did not dare to speak the truth. He was very unwilling and felt very wronged. A supreme secret manual could nurture a great power. The monk believed that from the actions of the Li Family, the secret manual from before was definitely not weaker than the Martial Arts Master Manual.
"Monk, you're being unreasonable and unreasonable. Tell me, what did I take from you?" Zi Chen asked, but his heart was bursting with joy.
"Yeah, monk. Tell me."
"Ah!" The monk yelled. He felt wronged and shouted, "He took my money."
"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter.
"Monk, don't be funny. The Buddha you worship has probably run out of money. You're really shameless. Every time you talk about money."
"You're still acting like you're wronged. It seems like you're really here to cheat money. Fine, I have a few hundred vitality stones here. Take them quickly."
"I have some too. Take them together."
Li Huo, Cang He, and the others spoke.
Zi Chen was a little surprised. These people were indeed rich. They had hundreds of vitality stones with them.
"I don't want it. I only want his." The monk was extremely wronged, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He stared at Zi Chen.
"Fine, fine. I'll give it to you."
Zi Chen waved his hand and pretended to be helpless. Then, he reached into his pocket. At this moment, everyone was staring at Zi Chen. The monk was even more cautious. He planned to take the thing and run away immediately.
"Seeing that you're a monk, I won't make things difficult for you. Consider this vitality stone as an offering to the Buddha."
Zi Chen put on a compassionate look and took out a vitality stone from his pocket. There were some cracks on one side of the vitality stone.
"This …"
Everyone was dumbfounded and felt like they were about to faint. They looked at Zi Chen with incomparably strange gazes as they thought to themselves, This guy is really something. We couldn't even get rid of him after taking out several hundred Yuan Stones, but you directly took out a single Yuan Stone, and it's not even a complete one.
"Ah!" The monk was so angry that he jumped. The golden light around him started to smoke.
"Oh my god, it's smoking." Lin Xue covered her mouth in shock. She stared at the monk in disbelief.
"It's really smoking. This is a talent. He made the Evil Kind Monk so angry." Everyone looked at this scene in shock.
Everyone present had more or less been taken advantage of by the monk. Seeing the monk so angry, they were secretly happy.
Ling Yun and Chen Feng, in particular, looked at Zi Chen with less enmity now.
