Chapter #01.Envy

"DESTROY HIS DANTIAN" Ma Durung shouted loudly.

Immediately several disciples tightened their grip on Zhao Yun, the orders of Ma Durung, who was the crown prince of the Ma kingdom as well as a genius disciple of the Black Dragon Sect, were of course directly implemented by the disciples who became his subordinates.

Zhao Yun was in a kneeling position with his two hands held tightly by two of Ma Durung's subordinates, not to mention that his mouth was gagged with a cloth making him unable to scream, plus Zhao Yun couldn't fight back because his qi flow was paralyzed by Ma Durung's personal bodyguards.

Zhao Yun stared blankly at his three best friends, Zhao Yun's eyes implied a request for help to his three friends, but his three friends immediately turned their faces away from Zhao Yun's sight.

Seeing that, he could only grimace in his heart, a friend and someone he had always helped had stabbed him in the back. Deliberately, they brought him before Ma Durung, who was hated him very much. Even though Zhao Yun himself had never had any problems with Ma Durung during his time in the Black Dragon Sect, who was a core disciple of the Black Dragon Sect.

Zhao Yun's eyes widened when a punch with a flow of energy aimed straight at his stomach, more precisely towards his dantian.

"Bugh" The sound of Ma Durung's bodyguard hitting Zhao Yun's lower abdomen hard.

"AAARGHHH" Zhao Yun's scream was accompanied by blood coming out of his mouth.

'HAHAHAAHHA" Ma Durung's laughter echoed as he saw Zhao Yun in pain. He, who had been sitting on his throne from the beginning, then stood up and approached Zhao Yun, who was now collapsed and powerless. He crouched near Zhao Yun's head while pulling his hair, forcing Zhao Yun's face to look up at him.

"Ma Durung!! What did I do wrong to you? I have nothing to do with you," said Zhao Yun, shaking because of the pain that spread in his stomach as his eyes stared intently at Ma Durung.

While pulling Zhao Yun's hair tightly, Ma Durung then spoke close to Zhao Yun's face.

"YOU LOWLY PEOPLE!!!," he shouted loudly.

"How dare you call a noble like me by just calling my name!!" Said Ma Durung while his other hand delivered several heavy blows towards Zhao Yun's face.

"You want to know why?"

Bugh

"The reason is very simple! Because you were born in the wrong place at the wrong time!"

Bugh Bugh

"On one mountain, there cannot be two tigers. In this sect!, in this kingdom!, and in this eastern continent, only I am entitled to bear the title of true genius!!" said Ma Durung proudly.

Bugh smaackkk....

"Hahahahaha" Zhao Yun's laughter echoed, then he looked back sharply at Ma Durung and the others.

Everyone was shocked by Zhao Yun's piercing eyes, just the sight of him was enough to make them shrink.

The figure of Zhao Yun, who is always kind to everyone, today showed a completely different face, the look in his eyes indicated anger and resentment towards Ma Durung and the others. Zhao Yun glared cynically at his three good friends.

" I didn’t think there were fools like you, having eyes but unable to see! Just because of your evny and pride, you made me like this. Do you think this world is only as wide as your palm! Do you think there’s no one out there better than you!! " Zhao Yun shouted loudly without any fear.

Everyone was shocked by Zhao Yun's bravery, an orphan who had no one to support him, as he boldly scolded Ma Durung, a prince of the Ma kingdom.

A 15-year-old young man who entered the Black Dragon sect with his abilities and intelligence now said as if challenging Ma Durung.

A Zhao Yun who was always polite and friendly to everyone today showed his anger in front of everyone without fear of anything.

"Swuuhh" one of Zhao Yun's spit shot straight into Ma Durung's face, suddenly this made Ma Durung furious and immediately aimed his strongest punch at Zhao Yun to finish him off.

"STOP IT!!" A voice stopped Ma Durung's punch on Zhao yun just in time.

The Black Dragon Sect Master and several elders descended from the sky and landed right in the crowd of disciples.

Ma Durung and the others were suddenly shocked because they didn't expect the sect master to come to a place that was rarely visited by elders and disciples.

But Ma Durung's surprised face slowly began to calm down again, it removed all the anxiety on his face.

"Respect to the sect master and elders" said all the disciples in unison, only Zhao Yun did not pay respect because he was still lying weakly on the ground.

"What's going on? Why is he like that?" The sect master asked everyone there.

"Sect master, core disciple Ma Durung is willing to speak and explain!" Ma Durung said politely.

"Hmm" replied the Sect Master briefly accompanied by a slight nod of his head.

"Master sect, this disciple Zhao Yun has dared to steal pills and personal belongings, belonging to this master's disciple. One disciple saw him stealing from my room, besides that, he also stole a book meant for the master's core disciples," Ma Durung replied convincingly.

"That's a lie, master! That's all not true, this disciple swears I never did that, I was brought here by their master!" Zhao Yun interrupted quickly.

"Huh, you're still arguing after there are witnesses and evidence?!" Ma Durung replied back.

"Sect master, this disciple has witnesses. Apart from that, the sect master can order people to check his private room, there will definitely be evidence of theft committed by him," said Ma Durung loudly while his finger pointed at Zhao Yun.

"Sect master, i'm sorry for this elder to interrupt! I don't think Ma Durung's disciple could possibly tell a lie, because this disciple is the best disciple in our sect, besides that he is the crown prince of the Ma kingdom, it is certain that his words can be held and accounted for," said the second elder. who was also Ma Durung's teacher.

The sect master nodded slightly, he then looked at the other disciple and asked who was the witness to the theft and he told one of the elders to check the truth of Ma Durung's words.

Zhao Yun's three friends came forward simultaneously and told what they had seen. Zhao Yun smiled wryly when he saw and heard what his three friends said.

As an intelligent person, Tian Fan already suspected that the evidence would already be in his room, he just smiled sadly and chose to remain silent.

Not long after, the two elders returned, they immediately met the sect master with the items they found.

"Master, according to what disciple Ma Durung said, these items were found in disciple Zhao Yun's cupboard," said one of the elders while showing the items to the sect master.

"Even so, why didn't you report this to the sect's legal division! Instead, you took action against him yourself!" The sect master asked bluntly.

"This disciple initially did not want to prolong this issue, master, and only wanted to ask him to return the items he had stolen. However, who would have thought he evaded and tried to harm this disciple , master? This is the evidence, master he spat on this disciple , which prompted us to take action. As for the damage to the surroundings, it was not intentional, it was an accident," explained Ma Durung.

"If the master still blames us for our actions, Ma Durung's disciple is ready to accept punishment from the master," said Ma Durung firmly.

"Everything has happened, it will not be possible to change it again," said the sect master briefly.

"Young man! What is your defense with everything that happened?" asked the sect master while looking at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, who was asked by the sect master, tried to get up and sit down, he tried as hard as he could to sit up straight even though the pain hit him.

“Sect master, this disciple just confirms that this disciple never did what he accused of doing! This disciple swears in the name of the heavens!”

"As for the accusations, this disciple can't say anything because the disciple here are alone and don't have any evidence, my friends are actually standing beside them."

"Moreover, the status of this disciple, who is a nobody, has already been defended by the elder only because of his noble status and being the son of a king."

"So what should disciple do to defend myself? disciple only have two hands, this disciple only have one mouth, it's not enough to cover everyone's mouths and talk about all their nonsense."

"Disciples are only asking, if they are really telling the truth, do the sky oath! If they do that then the disciples are ready to die right now" Zhao Yun said sternly which immediately made Ma Durung and everyone behind Ma Durung anxious.

"Huh, why should we follow your wishes which are clearly wrong! You're just playing tricks, as you usually do to curry favor and gain everyone's sympathy."

"Master, we ask for justice from master!" Ma Durung said firmly, which was immediately followed by all his followers.

"Please ask for justice from the master," said everyone in unison.

The Black Dragon sect master Bai Ying just let out a long sigh. Zhao Yun's request was actually not difficult but the evidence and witnesses were equally strong,

“Justice division elder, come here!”

"Give him 30 lashes, after that expel him from the Black Dragon Sect, that's my decision," Bai Ying said firmly.

"Thank you, master, for the justice you have given," said Ma Durung and all his subordinates

Zhao Yun was silent, he knew the sect master's decision was heavy, but he understood that the master was still giving him leniency,

One elder moved, the elder then lifted Tian Fan from his seat and dragged him roughly

Zhao Yun resigned himself to the harsh treatment from the elder. In that state, Zhao Yun stared sharply at the people who had put him in this state.

"You will pay dearly for what you are doing now, have fun until that time comes," Zhao Yun said quietly.
