Chapter 532: Face Slap

A few beautiful female disciples dared not utter a sound.They all hid behind Xue Wanzhong. However, their strained expressions clearly conveyed, "What do you think?"Xue Wanzhong felt a little apprehensive.

Since the target was Jiang Fan, Luo Dongcheng, who had colluded with him, was bound to be implicated.He glanced back at Kong Yuanba. When Kong Yuanba subtly lowered his eyelids, Xue Wanzhong understood. The sect master supported him.

It made sense. With such blatant and massive cheating, Luo Dongcheng should be the one who was afraid. What did he have to fear?

Therefore, he said indifferently, "Commissioner Luo, don't you know whether you colluded or not?""Three hundred and fifty demon cores, who are you trying to fool?""If you don't give us an explanation today, we'll take this matter to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion!"

Luo Dongcheng let out a cold chuckle. He made a mental note of Xue Wanzhong, as well as the beautiful female disciples behind him. He also remembered the sarcastic disciples hiding in the crowd.He raised his hand and waved. A powerful palm strike hit the snow in front of Xue Wanzhong.With a bang, ice shards and snowflakes splattered. A large snow pit, about ten feet in diameter, was formed on the ground.

Xue Wanzhong secretly swallowed, then forced himself to remain calm and shouted,"What? Are you trying to threaten me?""With so many people watching, Commissioner Luo, do you think you can cover up the truth with your power and silence the public..."He spoke with impassioned righteousness.

Luo Dongcheng, however, picked up a bag and approached the snow pit. He poured all its contents into it.*Clatter, clatter, clatter*Colorful demon cores of various sizes, all from beast kings, tumbled out. They collided, making crisp, pleasant sounds. Each sound seemed like a slap. It landed squarely on the faces of Xue Wanzhong and the troublemaking female disciples.

The Grand Elders let out gasps of surprise!"Beast king demon cores, they're all beast king demon cores!""The number definitely exceeds three hundred!""I wondered why Jiang Fan would be so foolish as to cheat on something like this."

Elders and deacons from various sects were also stunned speechless."What? There are really over three hundred of them!""Jiang Fan didn't cheat, and Commissioner Luo didn't manipulate anything behind the scenes. This is a genuine achievement!""Unbelievable! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe a young disciple could slay over three hundred beast kings in a month?""I'm watching it right now, and I still can't quite believe it!""They say the waves behind push the waves ahead, but this 'wave' is too fierce, isn't it?"

After several moments of stunned silence, the elders of the Azure Cloud Sect burst into uncontrollable ecstasy."Do you see? Do you all see? Who said our Jiang Fan cheated?""These are all demon cores, genuine demon cores!"Heaven knows how embarrassed they had been just moments before. But Jiang Fan's undeniable achievement once again filled them with pride.

Li Qingfeng glanced at Kong Yuanba and chuckled,"Some people were as happy as if it were Chinese New Year just now.""Why do they look like it's Qingming Festival now?"Everyone looked at Kong Yuanba and saw that his face was terribly grim. It was completely different from his earlier forced smile.They couldn't help but find it amusing. The slap in the face was loud and clear!

The female disciples also covered their red lips, letting out gasps of astonishment."Junior Brother Jiang... he's incredibly powerful!""I can't imagine how he managed to obtain over three hundred beast king demon cores all by himself!""Exactly, the last time I encountered a beast king, I barely escaped with my life.""But Junior Brother Jiang treats them like chopping watermelons.""Where did I get the nerve to suspect Junior Brother Jiang of cheating just now?"Traces of regret flickered across the faces of many female disciples.

Many more female disciples looked at Liu Qingxian with complete admiration."Now I understand why Junior Brother Jiang chose Liu Qingxian.""It's not because of how pretty she is.""It's because she was willing to stand against everyone for Junior Brother Jiang."While the hopeful gazes of the other female disciples dimmed with the cheating scandal,Only Liu Qingxian stood by his side, unflinching. This left them with nothing but envy, not a trace of jealousy.

Liu Qingxian, her heart pounding, said, "Xiao Fan! You..."Jiang Fan glanced at her with a smile, "Didn't disappoint you, did I?"He reached out and openly pulled her into his embrace."Everyone's watching, don't do that..." Liu Qingxian blushed and stammered.Jiang Fan held her tightly and said,"You don't mind getting the reputation of a blind fairy,""But you care about this?"Liu Qingxian felt both shy and sweet. She lightly punched his shoulder, then leaned against him, her face flushed.

Liang Feiyan couldn't stand it and rolled her eyes, "Jiang Fan, aren't you done yet?""Do you want to hug me too?""I also supported you without regard for my reputation!"Ouyang Jun chimed in, gritting his teeth."Exactly! We just stood up for you, and now you're showing off your affection!""I don't care, you have to hug me too, no favoritism!"

Xie Liushu disgustedly moved away from Liang Feiyan and Ouyang Jun."You two sicken me."Suddenly,He inadvertently moved next to Xia Chaoge. Out of habit, he made a frivolous remark."Junior Sister Xia, why don't you let your master-uncle give you a hug? Your support for him isn't any less than Junior Sister Liu's...""Ugh!"Mid-sentence,He clutched his stomach and bent over in pain.Xia Chaoge expressionlessly put away her sword hilt and calmly said,"Senior Brother Xie, speak like a human."The entire audience burst into laughter.Jiang Fan's mouth twitched. He deserved it for saying whatever came to mind!

He raised his hand and bowed to everyone present, saying, "To the Grand Elders, Elders, Deacons, and fellow disciples from all sects.""I, Jiang, was fortunate enough to obtain quite a few demon cores, which has caused some inconvenience to everyone.""My sincerest apologies."Everyone looked embarrassed.

A Grand Elder looked ashamed but also couldn't help but feel envious."Look how well he speaks?""Everyone questioned him, yet he says he caused inconvenience to everyone.""He's strong and has high emotional intelligence; it would be difficult for him not to achieve great things in the future!""I'm almost tempted to brazenly snatch him for our sect.""I advise you to forget it. It might have been possible before he became famous, but now if you dare to snatch him, it would be strange if those old fogeys from the Azure Cloud Sect didn't fight you to the death."

Everyone felt somewhat ashamed. When they looked at Xue Wanzhong and the troublemaking female disciples,They naturally felt disgusted. Fortunately, Jiang Fan had conducted himself with integrity. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been ruined by those malicious individuals?

"Chen Luoqun, aren't you going to get back here? You're a disgrace!""Zhao Li, Wang Pan, what are you still standing there for? Aren't you ashamed?"The female disciples immediately looked mortified and were called back by their respective elders.Xue Wanzhong was also quite embarrassed. His attempt to accuse Jiang Fan had failed, earning him a reputation as a petty person instead.

He said angrily, "Jiang Fan! What kind of skill is it to get demon cores through dishonest means?""I refuse to accept this!""If you're so brave, fight me!"Feeling that his physique had greatly improved, he yearned to wipe away his past humiliation and fight Jiang Fan again.

Jin Zhongming, who had remained silent, his eyes gleamed with a sinister cold smile.

Jiang Fan showed no desire to fight.He said indifferently, "If you're not convinced, go and get three hundred and fifty demon cores.""If you don't have that ability, then just fill a bag with rocks and pretend they're demon cores.""Perhaps someone will believe you then?"The 'bag of rocks' remark made everyone crack up. They all started to snicker.

How could Xue Wanzhong tolerate such provocation?He angrily shouted, "You're looking for death!"He swung his fist and charged towards Jiang Fan with thundering strides.

*Whoosh—*Liu Qingxian left Jiang Fan's embrace. A flash of humiliation appeared in her eyes as she said, "You're not worthy of fighting Jiang Fan.""Let me deal with you instead!"Jiang Fan was about to stop her. But seeing the humiliation in her eyes, he immediately understood. Liu Qingxian wanted to avenge the day Xue Wanzhong took her Swift Gale Pearl. Although he had already avenged her, it would be better for Liu Qingxian's state of mind if she avenged this type of grievance herself. So, he let her draw her sword and go.

Xue Wanzhong sneered disdainfully, "A loser dares to fight me?""Since you don't know what's good for you, I'll beat you half to death first!"Everyone's hearts immediately tensed up. Xue Wanzhong's strength had greatly improved! Liu Qingxian was only at the first layer of Core Formation, how could she be his opponent?However, the moment Liu Qingxian swung her sword, gasps of astonishment erupted from the crowd!
