I looked around.
"Five, six, shit. They have ten people here just for me? What did I even do for this deacon to be so angry at me?"
The person who spoke second started walking towards me with a menacing look on his face.
"No way am I going to fight ten people here. I am going to get beaten up almost instantly." I shook my head.
"Don't even think about escaping this time around. We have you surrounded." Hi Juntan said, dispelling my other thought. I could attempt to fly up, but was it worth it to throw away one of my biggest trump cards?
"What does Deacon Hua want with me? I can give him what he wants." I said, trying to find a way out desperately.
"You could give him the weapon you won that you refused to give him the last time." Hi Juntan said.
"He wants my weapon? I might be trying to get out of this, but I am no longer a push over. If they want a fight, they have one now." I shook my head.
"Looks like this guy wants to have a fight." one of the others shouted. Weapons appeared in all of their hands.
"They all have spatial rings? Why the hell are they goonies to some deacon then? This is too outrageous." I shook my head.
"Brother Liu Feng. It looks like you got yourself in a spot of trouble!" I heard a familiar voice from around me.
"Junior Brother Yutian. Do you really want to get into this now? I know that you have connections with the fifth elder, but the fact remains that the elders are too busy to take care of the outer sect. Everything that happens here is managed by Deacon Hua. This is a warning from the your seniors. It is not wise to offend someone who is in charge of distributing the resources." Hi Juntan looked at Yu Yutian, who just came out of the corner.
"Yu Yutian? Who would have thought that someone like him would step up? But does he plan on going against me, or help me?" I looked at him with apprehension.
"Do not worry, Brother Feng. I owe you my life. Why would I betray you? Senior Brothers, is there any way to tell Deacon Hua to leave? There must be some way that he will be appeased? I mean, what will he do with Liu Feng, someone who was able to convince the righteous sect leader to give him a whole three days in the Thunder Valley, an unprecedented move by the sect leader." Yu Yutian looked at Hi Juntan.
"The sect leader allowed him to go to the thunder valley? Impossible! Only Inner Disciples are allowed in there." Hi Juntan's face shriveled.
"Could it be, you did not hear of this? All of us here have some or the other connection in the higher circle. I think that we should clean this up together and let go of what has happened." Yu Yutian said.
"Wow. This guy has a glib mouth. To think that he could placate things so easily." I was shocked.
"You... Fine. I will go. But if you think that this is over, then you are wrong. Deacon Hua will never forgive even a small offense. You should be ready for that." Hi Juntan said as he turned around to leave.
Behind him, all the others also left, and the area finally became a little sparse, except for all the onlookers.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Yutian. I certainly did not expect you to help me out." I smiled.
"There is a common misconception that everyone who is born in a good clan is in the habit of backstabbing those who helped them. But the Yu clan has been a part of the Sky Heaven's sect for hundreds of years. We are the corner stone of righteousness. We will never forget the debts that we owe." Yu Yutian stood proudly as he pumped his chest.
"Truly, you have been righteous today. I must thank you. For some reason, some one impersonated me, and now everyone here hates me. It is good to know that I have a person like you to depend upon." I nodded at him.
With this, I went inside the residence.
"Thank god I didn't have to fight. I am too exhausted. I wanted to meditate but this huge commotion has thrown me off my intentions. What do I do now?" I sighed.
"The dragon gate. You must help me go through it." Liu Man suddenly said.
"What are you saying, Liu Man? Did you not hear what the elder said? If I go through the dragon gate with my current cultivation, then I will get destroyed."
"There must be a way. The elder said that only inner sect disciples at the Houtian Realm, or Core sect disciples are allowed. But he did not mention anything about the Core Sect Disciples. They did not need to be in the Houtian realm. There should be a loop hole." Liu Man said.
"If inner sect disciples are at the Houtian realm, then Core Sect Disciples are probably even stronger. You are over thinking this." I shook my head.
"What about the people who have comprehended the Dao? They must have a way to go through the dragon gate without any cultivation."
"Why are you so desperate? This is the first time that I have seen you like this." I asked.
"The sect here is not using the Dragon gate to its full capacity. Think again. What happened? A mere carp became a Kun Peng, a mythical beast that could traverse the mountains and the seas in a blink of an eye. Any creature could go through the dragon gate, and those who do survive would become truly powerful beasts. This is a chance for me to become so much stronger, and for me to get a body of my own. I will be able to go through my own metamorphosis."
