117: Chapter 117 is infuriating, what can you do about it?!

On a secluded forest path, tree shadows danced, and the air around seemed to freeze at this moment.

Two figures rushed out from the dense forest on one side in a state of exasperation, one after the other.

The people who arrived were none other than Gou Changgen and Zhou Qingzi, who had just been publicly stripped of their qualifications to become Disciples by Xu Hongxia on the Qingmu Peak plaza.

At this moment, where was even a shred of the conceited, high-and-mighty demeanor of a veteran Disciple that Gou Changgen had previously displayed?

His originally mean-spirited face was twisted beyond recognition due to anger and jealousy, his eyes blood-red, resembling a beast ready to devour someone.

Beside him, Zhou Qingzi was similarly filled with resentment.

Her originally pitiful face was now clouded with gloom, staring fixedly at Qin Feng, as if wanting to gouge several transparent holes into him with her gaze alone.

"What? Kicked out by the Elder like a stray dog, feeling unconvinced, and now running here to find a sense of presence?"

Facing the two defeated dogs blocking his path, Qin Feng did not even pause his footsteps; he simply kept his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth curling into an undisguised arc of mockery, his eyes filled with condescending contempt.

"You little beast, don't get too arrogant!"

Gou Changgen, having been poked in his sore spot, immediately flew into a rage, the veins on his forehead bulging out one by one.

He took a fierce step forward, and his thick True Yuan of Qi Refining Level 7 could no longer be suppressed, transforming into a visible gust of wind that swept up the withered branches and fallen leaves on the ground.

"Don't think that just because you relied on dog-shit luck to be accepted as a Personal Disciple by Xu Hongxia, you can walk sideways in the Outer Sect! The waters in the Outer Sect run deep; geniuses falling happens every single day!"

Gou Changgen gritted his teeth as he spat out threats, his right hand already instinctively reaching toward the Magical Artifact sword hilt at his waist, sneering, "Offend me, and I guarantee I will make it impossible for you to move an inch in the Outer Sect. As long as you dare to step half a step outside the Sect, I have a hundred ways to make sure you die without a complete corpse!"

"Exactly! A lowly whelp who crawled up from the Servant District, and you deserve to be an Elder's Personal Disciple? It's simply as if the heavens are blind!"

Zhou Qingzi also fanned the flames from the side, her shrill, mean-spirited voice sounding particularly jarring in the quiet forest path: "If you are sensible, you had best take a detour whenever you see our Senior Brother Gou in the Sect, otherwise you'll have it coming!"

Facing their stern and fierce threats, Qin Feng not only showed no fear, but instead chuckled aloud, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Hehe..."

Qin Feng shook his head, watching their pathetic appearance of being exasperated yet not daring to truly make a move, his tone flat without a ripple.

He said disdainfully, "In the Outer Sect, the Sect rules are strict, and private duels are strictly prohibited. Do you dare to draw your sword here? I'll lend you ten times the courage, but what can you actually do to me within the Sect?"

Once these words were spoken, the hand Gou Changgen was using to grip his sword hilt suddenly stiffened, and his face instantly turned a livid blue.

Indeed, although the Hehuan Sect encouraged competition, there could be no square without the compass; to secretly commit murder in specific areas of the Outer Sect was a grave crime that would face being skinned alive by the Punishment Hall!

Even if he wished in his heart to slice Qin Feng into a thousand pieces, he dared not cross the line by even half a step at this moment.

Seeing Gou Changgen choked to death by a single sentence, the smile at the corners of Qin Feng's mouth deepened, and he continued to add insult to injury in a slow, infuriating tone, "As for what you said about me leaving the Sect..."

He shrugged, looking innocent and punchable, "Sorry, your daddy here is now Xu Hongxia's only Personal Disciple, and I have resources in abundance. I am not lacking in Cultivation Technique, not lacking in Spirit Stone, nor am I lacking in blessed lands for Cultivate."

"With everything, why would I go out and suffer that exhaustion?!"

"Isn't it pleasant to stay comfortably in my residence? Who can hit me? And who would dare to hit me?!"

As his voice fell, the forest path fell into a dead silence.

Gou Changgen and Zhou Qingzi felt as if their chests had been heavily struck by a ten-thousand-jin giant hammer, and a mouthful of old blood almost sprayed out directly.

Killing the person and attacking their heart; these words were simply one hundred percent the absolute truth!

Like these veteran Disciples with no background, in order to earn a pitiful amount of resources for Cultivate, they had to run outside the Sect all day to take on those dangerous missions where the chances of survival were slim.

But what about this bastard in front of them?!

Once someone becomes a Personal Disciple, the fixed monthly allowance alone is eight hundred Spirit Stone, which is enough to crush the earnings they work themselves to death for in a year!

If one's demands aren't high, one indeed has the qualification to shrink inside the Sect for a lifetime without going out.

Qin Feng's heart was as clear as a mirror; he had his own plans.

In the world of Cultivate, everyone racks their brains for resources, Magic Treasure, and Spirit Pills. But he was different; he possessed a Heaven-Defying System. As long as he maxed out the favorability, what peerless martial arts or top-grade Immortal Pill couldn't he have?!

Doing missions and fighting monsters to level up? That doesn't exist!

Especially in the Hehuan Sect, which is full of beauties; for him, everywhere is full of walking experience packs and System rewards. Only someone with a broken brain would run outside to fight to the death with a Yao Beast.

"You... you..."

Gou Changgen was trembling with anger, pointing at Qin Feng's nose, unable to squeeze out a complete sentence for a long time, his teeth grinding with a "clacking" sound, as if he wanted to crush all his teeth.

"Alright, a good dog doesn't block the path. I don't have time to listen to you two stray dogs barking."

Qin Feng let out a cold snort, lacking even the interest to look at them for another second.

He strode out with his long legs, his shoulder even unceremoniously knocking aside Gou Changgen who was blocking the front, and with a triumphant gait, he swaggered toward the direction of his own courtyard.

Behind him, only Gou Changgen and Zhou Qingzi were left in the wind, their eyes bloodshot with rage, gritting their teeth, yet helpless.

...

Having gotten rid of the two clowns, Qin Feng felt exceptionally relaxed.

As he walked, he calculated his next great "homebody Cultivate" plan in his mind.

"Revered Master Xu Hongxia is a top-grade mature woman, and while that green tea Mu Siyao is greedy for money, her figure is indeed hot. This Outer Sect is simply a paradise tailor-made for my System. From now on, as long as I play it steady and slowly scout for targets..."

However, Qin Feng's sweet dream was not yet finished.

Just after walking a short distance, the green jade token at his waist, representing his status as a Personal Disciple, vibrated violently without warning and emitted a dazzling red light!

"Hmm?"

Qin Feng frowned, took off the jade token and held it in his hand, injecting a trace of True Yuan.

The next second, Xu Hongxia's lazy, charming, yet authoritative voice that brooked no refusal rang directly in his mind.

"Good Disciple, are you back yet?"

"Replying to Revered Master, I am on my way. I wonder what instructions Revered Master has? Do you miss your Disciple?" Qin Feng curled his lips and casually teased the jade token with a lack of decorum.

A slight cold snort seemed to come from the other end of the jade token, clearly showing some helplessness toward this audacious Disciple, but the tone remained unhurried.

"Stop with the glib tongue. I have thought about it carefully; although you are supremely talented and have a powerful Physical Body, your actual combat experience in the world of Cultivate is ultimately too little. Staying in the Sect and working behind closed doors will easily lead to you becoming useless."

Hearing this, Qin Feng's right eyelid twitched wildly twice, and a highly ominous premonition suddenly welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, Xu Hongxia's next words completely shattered his "homebody plan."

"Therefore, I just specially went to the Mission Hall and carefully selected an excellent training mission for you—go to the Black Wind Mountain Range outside the Sect and hunt a Qi Refining Level 5 'Iron-Armored Black Wind Leopard'!"

"The mission Jade Slip has already been directly bound to your identity token. Go and get some good training; combat between life and death is the fastest way to stimulate your potential. This mission has a time limit of half a month. When you return after completing it to Perfection, I will reward you heavily."

In Xu Hongxia's words, the final word "reward" was drawn out extremely long, carrying an indescribable allure, as if hinting at some incredible prize.

But at this moment, where did Qin Feng have the mind to care about any reward!

"Beep—"

The light of the jade token dimmed, and the transmission was directly cut off unilaterally.

Qin Feng stood there holding the jade token, frozen on the forest path like a petrified statue, completely stunned.
