Chapter 82: Forcing Someone
"Three seniors blocked my way, what do you want?" Qin Yong asked.
These three interceptors were the three outer disciples, Qin Yong had just been promoted to an outer disciple and was not willing to be high-profile. Therefore, even though these three people intercepted him, they clearly did not come with good intentions, but as long as they didn't tear their faces apart, Qin Yong still pretended to be humble and courteous towards them.
"Qin Yong, don't pretend to be stupid, you can't not understand the rules of the outer gate." The slightly chubby disciple among the three said with a cold smile.
The other two also nodded, staring at Qin Yong, with a faint aura of pressure emanating from their bodies. This pressure was not strong and would not affect Qin Yong, but it made him understand that these three people were all at the peak of the 9th level of Qi Wu, approaching the Xuan Wu realm in terms of cultivation. Probably, in terms of strength, they wouldn't be much inferior to Liu Long or Ma Wei.
Looking at the age of these three people, they are almost thirty years old, or even over thirty years old, to reach the peak of the ninth level of Qi Wu. The reason why their strength is not much weaker than Liu Long and Ma Wei is because they have reached the ninth level of Qi Wu for a longer time, so their innate talent must not be high.
Qin Yong estimated that these three people were probably just ordinary geniuses with a cultivation speed three times that of normal, and might not have even reached that level. Otherwise, they wouldn't be stuck at this level for so long, unable to break through the Xuanwu Realm. As for the intentions of these three people, Qin Yong also roughly understood. He had heard that newly promoted disciples, whether inner or outer door, would always be oppressed and exploited by older disciples. The contribution value of sect tasks was high, but those who didn't have the ability to complete them only got a few dozen or hundred points. However, a newly promoted outer door disciple like him had 3,000 contribution points, which was an extremely high gain for these older disciples without innate talent.
This situation actually happened to him, Qin Yong felt a bit strange. Even without the name of Liu Yan, the situation where Qin Yong and Ma Wei fought should have been rendered out. Qin Yong originally thought that there shouldn't be any outer door disciples who didn't know what was good for them, but he still encountered one.
Xuanwu realm outer door disciples can go and complete those high contribution value tasks, no need to do so. But Qi Wu realm outer door disciples, with such a strong foundation, are really not many. Qin Yong looked at the three people in front of him, although they had the cultivation and strength of the 9th peak of the Qi Wu realm, did they think that this could threaten him?
"I naturally understand the rules of the outer gate, but I don't understand which rule is related to the three of you blocking me." Qin Yong said calmly.
"Hmph, I don't care if you're really stupid or just pretending to be, but today you won't be able to dodge it." Fat Brother said with a cold smile.
"Don't think that just because someone is backing you up from behind, you can disregard the rules. It's not like you're the only one with someone backing you up."
"For the past two days, you've been sneaking into the Scripture Pavilion and Treasure Hall, exchanging things. Hand over half of what you got, and we'll let you off easy. Otherwise, you won't be able to avoid a bit of physical punishment."
"This is a long-standing rule of the outer sect, even if you find the elder, it will be useless. Martial cultivator, in the end, still can only rely on yourself."
The other two outer disciples also sneered and shouted, with a tone of arrogance in their words, as if they had already won against Qin Yong.
Qin Yong heard this, but his heart was slightly moved. These three people said a lot of threatening nonsense, the most valuable thing inside should be that sentence "there are people backing him up, not just him". These three people might really have a backer, or they were simply being manipulated by someone.
Qin Yong has offended many people outside the sect, and even gained some insight. It's likely that there are also people inside the sect who don't like him. On the surface, they don't want to displease Liu Yan, so they send this kind of minor character over, which is not unlikely.
"You're right, Wu Xiu, in the end it still depends on oneself." Qin Yong said after a moment of silence, nodding his head.
As soon as the words came out, the three of them suddenly showed a smile, and their gaze at Qin Yong was no longer as aggressive as before. They gave Qin Yong a "you're sensible" look, but the contempt in their eyes became even heavier. The surrounding disciples, on the other hand, shook their heads and sighed, looking down on Qin Yong for yielding so easily.
However, before these people could react, Qin Yong's face sank and he shouted: "So, you still dare to threaten me? Do you think the person behind your back can come out and help you?"
This time, Qin Yong countered with the words of three people.
In an instant, the three people's faces changed, looking at Qin Yong with a gloomy and uncertain expression. Finally, it was still the fat brother who spoke out: "Qin Yong, you are so arrogant, thinking that by relying on Liu Yan's reputation, you can intimidate everyone. Even if we take action now, won't Liu Yan still hold us accountable for it later?"
"Hmph, you say I'm using the name of Liu Yan to intimidate you, but have I ever mentioned her even half a sentence from start to finish? That's just your own self-righteousness, making excuses and looking for a way out. Today, I'll make it clear: whether we win or lose, no matter what the outcome is, Liu Yan will not touch any of you." Qin Yong said.
The three of them were suddenly delighted, and the gaze in Qin Yong's eyes revealed a fierce glint. Their previous words were indeed just as Qin Yong had said, they just wanted to find an excuse and a way out. Even so, it couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any trouble afterwards, even if the people behind them had already given their guarantee. However, Liu Yan's reputation was too great, and they still had worries. Now that Qin Yong had spoken, Liu Yan would definitely not take action, and at this time, they could feel at ease in dealing with Qin Yong.
"It seems you're all very pleased, thinking I've fallen for your provocation and now you can take action with ease." Qin Yong said disdainfully. He had long seen through the thoughts of the three men, and upon seeing their faces change, he sneered coldly: "Rest assured, since I've said so, I will absolutely not go back on my word afterwards."
The three men did not put their minds at ease after hearing this, but instead became even more stern-faced and anxious in their hearts. Qin Yong had actually seen through their plans, so why would he still do such a thing? Could it be true that Qin Yong really had the strength to rival Ma Wei, just like the rumors said?
Three people did not go to watch Qin Yong and Ma Wei's battle at first, but only heard about it. At that time, they were somewhat disdainful. How could a miscellaneous servant disciple be the opponent of an outer door disciple? Not to mention that the outer door disciple was Ma Wei, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Wu realm and ranked among the top few among the outer door disciples. The three people immediately thought it was a rumor, but now they are somewhat suspicious, could it be true?
Finally, the three of them gritted their teeth and stopped thinking about it. Even if Qin Yong had almost the same strength as Ma Wei, how could he possibly unleash the terrifying Tiger Blade Technique? As a newly appointed outer sect disciple, Qin Yong would never have such a fearsome martial skill, whereas all three of them had roughly the same strength as Ma Wei. If they joined forces, even Ma Wei, who wielded the Tiger Blade Technique, might not be their match, let alone Qin Yong!
