C12 Coercion

"Congratulations!" "Junior Brother Li!"

On the mountainside of the Mysterious Cloud Sect, a group of young men and women dressed in green surrounded Li Chen as they congratulated him. They were precisely the group from the Ancient Blue Mountain Sect that day, only missing Chen Songtai, Liu Chengfeng, and Li Yuerong.

"What are you congratulating me for?" This brat is simply bullying little kids! "

Pang Wenshan carelessly patted Li Chen's shoulder. He was already wearing a blue robe and had already entered the inner sect.

"Hehe!"

Li Chen grinned and scratched his head, thinking back to the previous Large Competition, when a twelve-year-old child cried because she couldn't hit him, she couldn't help but smile.

"Junior Brother Li, your age is almost fifteen. You must enter the outer sect as soon as possible, otherwise, you will be able to stay among the honorary disciples for the rest of your life!"

Chu Ziyun recovered her cold expression and ordered.

"I know, this day won't be too far away!"

Li Chen clenched his fists. The reason why he hid his true cultivation level was because he did not want anyone to notice him. Everyone knew that in just a few short months, he had reached the fifth level of the Inner Breath Realm.

At that time, it would be extremely troublesome.

Even if it were these people who were good to him, he would only say that he was a medicine slave, and that his body was being refined extremely fiercely by the respective medicinal pellets. His body was only at the second layer of Qi Cultivating Stage.

It wasn't that they couldn't trust him, but that they all had their own secrets. If this secret were to be leaked, the trouble brought about would be unbearable.

"Good one isn't too far away, but a little medicine slave like you makes me look at you in a new light!"

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, causing everyone to glare angrily. However, their faces instantly paled and they shrank back.

They saw Li Yuerong and a tall lady in white slowly walk over.

"Sect Protector Disciple!"

Pang Wenshan exclaimed in a low voice.

Aside from the honorary, outer sect, inner sect, and elite disciples, those that were older than the age limit would mostly join the law enforcement or sect guarding disciples.

The law enforcement disciples wore black clothes, and the sect protecting disciples were undoubtedly white.

Looking at the golden line on her lapel, it was without a doubt a disciple who had reached the True Forging Stage.

This group of young men and women were under a lot of pressure when facing such an existence. However, they, who were only at the Inner Breath Realm, had no chance of winning even if they were to fight against a disciple of the Refinement Realm.

"Eldest Miss!"

Li Chen's pupils contracted as he involuntarily bent his body.

The one who came was not her, but the eldest daughter of the Li family's Patriarch, Li Yueqing.

At this moment, the joy of entering the Sect for the first time vanished without a trace.

"Chi!"

Li Yueqing disdainfully glanced at him, saying indifferently, "I heard that you guys have obtained quite a few good items. Everyone has a share, so each of you can take out a piece of primeval stone and I'll let you off today. Presumably, you guys also don't want this matter to spread, right?"

The moment her voice fell, the expressions of the youths all changed greatly. The gazes she shot at Li Yuerong beside her were filled with shock and anger, causing her to involuntarily shrink her neck and hide behind Li Yueqing.

It was not hard to imagine that if Li Yuerong were to give the primeval stone to Li Yueqing, she would definitely be interrogated and hand it over to him. It was very likely that it was caused by her directly saying so.

"Senior Sister Li, isn't that too much? "My Zhao Family also has disciples in the enforcement team. We might not lose to you!"

Zhao Shanshan took a step forward, her face filled with anger.

"That's right, my Liu family also has disciples in the sect protection team. Do you want to forcefully take them away?"

Liu Ziqing also walked up. Li Chen had saved his life that day. Even though his cultivation was low, he still couldn't just sit back and watch as Li Chen was humiliated like this.

Both of them were members of the other two clans in Gu Yang City, so they were naturally not afraid of Li Yueqing.

"Giggle!"

Li Yueqing laughed coquettishly as she stroked the hair on her forehead. "You can say that, but once this matter spreads, your troubles will definitely not be limited to today. Presumably, you guys also don't want to continue being endlessly troublesome, right?"

"Give it to her!"

Chu Ziyun's pretty face was cold. Amidst everyone's pale faces, she took out a small embroidered bag from her neck. She took out the primeval stone inside and threw it to Li Yueqing.

If this matter were to spread, they, as a group, would definitely be in great trouble. Regardless of whether or not they had taken out all the treasures they had obtained, it was impossible for them to stop, and it was very possible that there would be casualties.

It had to be known that although the higher level disciples of the Mysterious Cloud Sect were forbidden from wantonly slaughtering lower level disciples, secretly attacking was still very difficult, especially when the difference in cultivation was too great.

It wasn't as if such a thing had never happened before.

There were tens of thousands of disciples in the Mysterious Cloud Sect, and there were plenty that disappeared without reason every year, not to mention the fact that so many people had been targeted.

"I'll give everything to you, don't make things difficult for them!"

Li Chen could not hold it in any longer, so he opened his bag and took out a small bag.

Pow!

"Dog slave, how can you talk? Not to mention these Source Stones, even if you had a life, you would still be a part of my Li Clan. Do you really think that by cultivating inner breathing and entering a sect, you can be a level higher than others? This slave will always be a slave, hmph!

You should know how to be grateful. It was my Li Family that brought you to the Profound Cloud Sect, allowing you to go from trash to a martial practitioner! "

Li Yueqing grabbed it and casually beat Li Chen until she stumbled and fell, spitting in disdain.

No one dared to say anything. One by one, they handed over all the primeval stones they had with them and helped Li Chen up from the ground.

"Oh right, those Spirit Stones are useless to you. Why don't you give them to me? I have a few high-level Juxi Pills, which you two can use equally!" Remember to hand it to Yuerong! "

Li Yuechan counted a few primeval stones and put them away happily. She took out a jade bottle and tossed it to Pang Wenshan without saying anything, then took out a primeval stone and threw it to Chu Ziyun, "I know you're an outer court genius of the West Branch, but be careful. If a genius dies prematurely, no one will remember you!"

Finishing his words, he gathered the treasures and left with Li Yuerong.

Li Yueqing, who was born into a family, was very smart. Naturally, she didn't want to offend Chu Ziyun. However, she was also reminding Chu Ziyun that if she wanted revenge, she had to be careful of the safety of the people around her.

A girl that was blessed by the heavens could grow, but that did not mean that the friends beside her could all grow to her level.

Li Yuerong originally wanted to struggle, but when she saw the crowd glaring at her, even though she was young, she knew that she would forever lose these friends who shared hardships with her.

"Damn it!"

Pang Wenshan crushed the jade bottle, but it didn't shatter in the end. He glanced at Chu Ziyun before putting it away.

"Junior Brother Li, are you alright?"

Chu Ziyun reached out her hand to support Li Chen.

"I'm used to it!"

Li Chen evaded without leaving a trace, not even wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He shook his head slowly and gave an apologetic smile to the crowd.

Pang Wen Shan stopped the crowd as they wanted to go forward. He shook his head slightly and looked at the skinny figure as he disappeared into the forest by himself.

In these past few days, from the initial indifference, disdain, and pity towards Li Chen to the acceptance and respect towards him, at this moment, everyone deeply felt his pain.

These three simple words explained what kind of life this young man, who was not even fifteen years old, was leading.
