"The inheritance forest is right in front of us. Yang Yu's matter has nothing to do with us. There are less than two hours left until the end of the Outer Sect Assessment. We should enter the inheritance forest as soon as possible to investigate."
"That makes sense."
"Quickly enter the inheritance forest. We only need to go in and check if the Heavenly Chief Inheritance is real or fake."
"…"
The servant disciples discussed. They were more concerned about the Heavenly Chief Inheritance, so they wanted to enter the inheritance forest. However, they had only taken a few steps when they were stopped by Qi Ming.
Qi Ming smiled and said, "Fellow disciples, I discovered the inheritance forest first. You can enter the inheritance forest if you want, but you have to pay the 'toll'. No more, no less. Just use all the spiritual herbs on you as collateral."
"You…"
"Impudent!"
"Do you dare to block the way and rob me in front of everyone?"
"You're too bold."
"Even if you're very strong and have the highest cultivation level among everyone, we have dozens of people. If you dare to do this alone, aren't you afraid that we'll join forces and cripple you?"
"That's crazy."
"You only killed Yang Yu and you already feel invincible?"
"…"
Immediately, the servant disciples were furious. They felt that Qi Ming was completely courting death. He was too arrogant and did not take the servant disciples of the twelve peaks seriously.
"Senior… Senior Brother…"
Jiang Shicheng's scalp went numb as he looked at the furious gazes of the servant disciples. His legs and stomach were trembling slightly. It was not one or two, nor was it more than ten or twenty, but dozens of them.
They were basically all above the third level of Qi Refinement.
There were also many at the fourth level Qi Refinement realm and the fifth level Qi Refinement realm.
As the saying went…
Two fists were no match for four hands.
Moreover, Qi Ming wanted to fight dozens of people alone?
It was completely impossible.
Clang!
A sword chime sounded.
Qi Ming waved his right hand and a green sword qi slashed out, drawing a deep sword scar that was ten meters long on the ground in front of him.
"This line is the boundary."
Qi Ming continued, "Whoever dares to cross it without permission will bear the consequences."
"F*ck!"
"This is unbearable."
"Kill him and let him know how powerful we are."
"Too arrogant, simply too arrogant. Does he even take us, the servant disciples of the twelve peaks, seriously? He's simply too arrogant."
"I must deal with him."
"…"
Everyone clamored continuously, their voices extremely angry. They really wanted to roll up their sleeves and fight with Qi Ming, but none of them stepped forward.
Clearly, they were indeed afraid.
One had to know, Qi Ming's cultivation level was at the sixth level Qi Refinement realm. Among the servant disciples of the twelve peaks, Qi Ming had the highest cultivation level. Beside Qi Ming stood a ferocious ghost at the seventh level Qi Refinement realm.
Also, Yang Yu's headless corpse lay at the side, and it was extremely miserable. It was sufficient to deter those servant disciples with insufficient cultivation and weak strength.
No one dared to be the first to speak up.
"Senior Brother Qi."
Xu Ye frowned. When faced with this situation, he walked out and looked straight at Qi Ming as he said in a low voice, "Although your cultivation is the highest among all the disciples present, you can't go too far. You actually want to rob the disciples like this. It really makes us despise you."
"It's Senior Brother Xu Ye."
"That's great."
"Senior Brother Xu Ye is the strongest servant disciple of the Numinous Sky Peak. With Senior Brother Xu Ye standing up for us, if we join forces, no matter how strong Qi Ming is, he won't dare to continue being insolent."
"Senior Brother Xu Ye is right."
"…"
In the surroundings, all the servant disciples agreed and felt that they had found their backbone.
It could be said that, Xu Ye had already become the representative of all the servant disciples to talk to Qi Ming.
"You talk too much."
Qi Ming's gaze was indifferent, and his expression completely turned cold. "If not for the fact that we are fellow disciples, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the inheritance forest. You would all have died under my sword."
"If you want to go in, hand over the spiritual herbs. If you don't, get lost immediately. Don't waste my time."
"You!!!"
Xu Ye's expression was cold.
"Isn't Senior Brother Qi being a little too unreasonable? The inheritance forest belongs to everyone in the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm. Everyone has the right to enter, but Senior Brother Qi did this. It's really…"
Tang Bing frowned her brows.
"How is it unreasonable?"
Qiao Yuxian pursed her lips and said, "I feel that Senior Brother Qi is too handsome. Don't you see? Senior Brother Qi only drew a line with his sword. Although everyone present is extremely furious, up until now, no one has really dared to cross this line."
"This is the power of deterrence!"
"This…"
Tang Bing was shocked. She looked around and saw everyone's angry expressions. Looking at the line on the ground, even Xu Ye did not dare to step over.
"This child is indeed extraordinary!"
The 'old grandpa' in Xiao Fan's ring could not help but praise, "He's so young and already has such courage."
"That's right."
Xiao Fan nodded in agreement. "Moreover, I actually don't believe in the matter of the Heavenly Chief Inheritance. Senior Brother Qi probably doesn't believe it either. Otherwise, with Senior Brother Qi's strength, he would have long gone in to investigate. How could he give these fellow disciples a chance?"
"You're really going too far."
Swish!
At this moment, among the servant disciples, a normal-looking servant disciple berated. Under the gazes of everyone, he rushed out and headed straight for Qi Ming.
"Since no one dares to take the lead, I'll do it."
This servant disciple shouted loudly. His movement technique was not slow either. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed past the line Qi Ming had drawn and charged towards the forest of inheritance.
"Such ignorance," Qi Ming shook his head.
Swish!
Qi Ming slashed with his sword, and a green sword qi tore through the sky and slashed towards this servant disciple, who raised his saber to block it.
Bang!
The talisman treasure saber in his hand broke into two.
"Ah!!!"
Not only that.
The residual power of the sword qi slashed out a bloody wound in his chest as he fell to the ground and cried out repeatedly. He could not even block Qi Ming's casual sword strike.
"He really dares to attack!"
"Gasp…"
"So powerful!"
"Those at the third level Qi Refinement realm can't even withstand a single strike from him."
"Too terrifying, too savage."
"…"
Everyone's hearts turned cold.
"Jiang Shicheng, go take his spiritual herbs. If he refuses to comply, kill him." Qi Ming said lightly.
"Yes."
Jiang Shicheng jolted. While he was shocked, he could not help but feel excited. He did not expect Senior Brother Qi Ming to have such courage to face the twelve peaks alone.
This was too domineering.
It was unimaginable.
This had never happened in all the years that the Outer Sect Assessment had been held.
"I'll… give… I'll… give…"
This servant disciple who was lying on the ground with a sword wound had a pale expression. His courage had long disappeared without a trace, and he immediately took out all the spiritual herbs.
No more, no less.
Five low-grade Qi Refinement realm spiritual herbs and three medium-grade Qi Refinement realm spiritual herbs.
That was all.
After all, he was only at the third level Qi Refinement realm.
"Not bad."
Qi Ming was quite satisfied. He put the eight spiritual herbs into the inferior-grade storage bag and waved his hand, "You can go in now."
"I can?"
The injured servant disciple was stunned and was a little uncertain. He thought that after he handed in the spiritual herbs, he would be chased away. He did not expect Qi Ming to really let him in.
One had to know, originally, with his third level Qi Refinement realm cultivation, he was the weakest among the 120 servant disciples.
Logically speaking, for example, he did not have the chance to touch the huge opportunity of the Heavenly Chief Inheritance, but now, he could actually be the first to enter?
Thinking of this, he actually felt that it was not a loss and even profited.
It was only eight spiritual herbs.
There were at most a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
However, if he could obtain the Heavenly Chief Inheritance, how could it be compared to a hundred low-grade spirit stones?
He could not help but come to a realization.
He felt that he had seen the truth through the appearance of the matter.
Senior Brother Qi Ming did not want to rob their spiritual herbs. Instead, he wanted to give all the servant disciples of the twelve peaks a fair chance to compete. He wanted all the disciples, regardless of whether they were strong or weak, to have a chance to enter the inheritance forest and compete for the Heavenly Chief Inheritance.
Senior Brother Qi Ming had worked hard to help them!
He was willing to bear the infamy and fight for a fair and just opportunity for the weak.
He was simply a good person!
