Chapter 207
Yue Gui nodded: "Chen Jiang is right. I let you stay because of this matter."
He sipped his tea and said: "The deacon who offended Xu Yang is named Xiao Hua. This person is petty and narrow-minded. Xu Yang once made him lose face in the Mission Hall, which is why he was targeted.
Xu Yang had not achieved Qi Refining into Gang Qi, but he was arranged to do a mission that only disciples who had achieved Qi Refining into Gang Qi could do.
With Xiao Hua's pettiness, you all should think about whether we continue to ally with Xu Yang and will be implicated."
A petty deacon!
Qin Ze, Liu Qian, and Chen Jiang all looked serious.
Even if the person targeting Xu Yang were an inner sect disciple, they wouldn't care much.
No matter how high the status of an inner sect disciple is, they have no real power in the outer sect and cannot manage anyone.
The outer sect deacon is different; he manages the outer sect disciples.
Xiao Hua is not only an outer sect deacon but also a deacon in an important place like the Mission Hall. It is not an exaggeration to say that he holds the power of life and death.
"How could Xu Yang lose face to a deacon?" Qin Ze frowned.
The alliance can be maintained, so he naturally doesn't want to dissolve it. Let people know that they have broken ties with Xu Yang because they offended someone, and it is definitely not a good reputation to spread.
In the future, if they want to find someone to cooperate with, no one will believe their credibility.
Yue Gui shook his head: "I don't know exactly what happened, but Xu Yang was indeed targeted, and we also have a high probability of being implicated. This was warned by my senior brother from the previous session."
Everyone, express your stance. Do you want to continue to maintain the alliance, or kick Xu Yang out?"
Chen Jiang said: "I don't want to be targeted by a deacon of the Mission Hall and die outside inexplicably one day."
Qin Ze was silent for a while: "How to kick him out? Do we publicly state that Xu Yang is no longer a member of the alliance? If there is no suitable excuse, how will we stand in the future and how will we gain trust?"
He didn't state his position, but his meaning was already very clear; he was just worried about his reputation being affected.
Liu Qian didn't speak, just frowned.
She didn't want to be targeted by a deacon of the Mission Hall either, but she didn't want to violate the alliance agreement.
This is not a question of friendship or not, but once the reputation is ruined, it is difficult to recover.
Yue Gui said: "We can announce the dissolution of the alliance on the surface, but in private, we can continue to ally."
This is the only compromise he can think of, both breaking ties with Xu Yang and not damaging his reputation too much.
"Although it is a bit mean, it can only be so." Liu Qian said.
The four looked at each other, and their faces showed shame.
Although there was not much friendship with Xu Yang, this behavior of being a turtle and breaking ties when an ally had trouble still made them feel ashamed.
Xu Yang returned to the courtyard and saw Zhang Yong and Zhao Zhifei also came here to visit. The three and Sun Tao were sitting in the courtyard, and their expressions were very ugly.
Zhang Yong sighed: "Xu Yang sees it clearly. I didn't expect Gu Haoming to be so despicable."
Jiang Ping said: "I didn't expect him to be so heartless and turn his face so quickly. When he abandoned Gu Fang without hesitation, I should have guarded against him."
Zhao Zhifei's face was livid: "This beast said that when we arrived at the Profound Heaven Sect, we would work together. It turns out he wanted to take our contribution points to support his progress."
Xu Yang almost laughed.
Before hearing Liu Qian say that the Ruifeng Hall started harvesting leeks, he thought that at most a marginal figure like Zhang Yong would be harvested, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhifei and Jiang Ping to be among them.
Listening to the meaning of the three, they were backstabbed by Gu Haoming.
It was indeed backstabbed by Gu Haoming. No matter if the rule of paying contribution points was issued by Cao Rong or Yun Feng, the reason why the three became members of the Ruifeng Hall was entirely because of Gu Haoming.
Now they were forced to pay contribution points, but Gu Haoming didn't stand up. If this isn't a backstab, what is?
And it is highly likely that the missions they pay for will also have a share for Gu Haoming.
"How many contribution points do you pay each month?" Xu Yang held back his laughter.
I still remember when several people became members of the Ruifeng Hall, they were still full of pride, imagining the future.
Who would have thought that the retribution would come so quickly.
Zhang Yong said in a muffled voice: "One!"
One doesn't sound like much, but for a Qi Gathering martial artist, it is very difficult to earn ten contribution points a month, which is equivalent to paying one-tenth.
Contribution points are exploited, cultivation time is compressed, and they fall directly into a dead cycle. The three of them have the heart to kill Gu Haoming, Cao Rong, and these people.
It's just that they dare not resist. Nominally, the Ruifeng Hall and the Poxiao Society only joined forces, but they knew clearly that the Ruifeng Hall had already merged into the Poxiao Society. It was just that Cao Rong and others were worried about their fierce resistance, so they only announced the alliance.
Boiling a frog in warm water, waiting for Cao Rong and others to absorb some nutrients from them and become stronger, and when they are not afraid of their resistance, they will probably announce the merger of the Ruifeng Hall into the Poxiao Society.
Xu Yang smiled: "One is not much. You are brothers who share life and death with Cao Rong. Supporting him with one contribution point a month for cultivation, waiting for him to become strong and lead you into the inner sect, isn't this a good thing?
If you can't even bear one contribution point, what kind of brothers are you?"
Zhang Yong, Jiang Ping, and the three felt like knives were stabbing their hearts.
At the Qunlong Meeting, when they heard Cao Rong shout that they would be brothers who share life and death in the future, they were so hot-blooded, and now their hearts are so painful.
The three had complex expressions. What Xu Yang said was exactly the same as when Cao Rong announced the collection of membership fees, as if he were on the scene.
Sun Tao smiled and scolded: "Alright, Junior Brother Xu, stop digging at Zhang Yong and the others. They were also deceived by Cao Rong and these dog thieves and fell into their trap.
Do you have any way to help them get out of the fire pit?"
Zhang Yong and the three came here, naturally not to let Xu Yang watch the jokes and dig, but to seek help.
Xu Yang shook his head: "How can I help them? Go ask Lu Ren. His face should be useful in the Ruifeng Hall."
Jiang Ping showed a mocking expression: "Ten Elites genius, a strong man who has achieved Qi Refining into Gang Qi, now where does he look at us fellow brothers."
Among the three, Zhang Yong and Lu Ren had conflicts and broke up.
Zhao Zhifei had always looked down on children from poor families before Lu Ren rose, and also mocked Lu Ren.
He was the one who befriended Lu Ren the first time Lu Ren stepped into the inner courtyard of the Weiyuan Hall, and also sent gifts, and helped a lot later.
But listening to Xu Yang's tone, Lu Ren not only didn't help him, but also looked down on him.
Zhang Yong said: "He is also one of the beneficiaries. He also has a share of the contribution points we pay. If he wanted to help us, we wouldn't need to speak at all. Before the regulation was announced, he and Gu Haoming hid in Qingyang City and haven't appeared recently."
Xu Yang was amazed. It turned out that Lu Ren and Gu Haoming went to Baiyao Hall to guard because of this matter. He was also strange about why the two didn't return to the Profound Heaven Sect after the guard mission ended.
"Then we can only forcibly betray the Ruifeng Hall." Xu Yang said.
Of course, the three of them were afraid they didn't have the courage, otherwise they wouldn't have run here to find Sun Tao for a way.
The three had extremely ugly expressions. Zhang Yong said: "Li Shun, the most powerful disciple of the Huxiao Fist Hall, do you remember? This person was extremely resistant to paying contribution points and threatened to withdraw from the Ruifeng Hall.
Yesterday, when he was feeding strange beasts at the Beast King Peak, he was bitten to death by a suddenly mad strange beast."
He naturally remembered Li Shun. When he joined the Ruifeng Hall at the Qunlong Meeting, Li Shun and his junior brothers were very excited, thinking they had hugged a big thigh. He didn't expect to be used to kill chickens and warn monkeys so quickly.
Really ruthless!
This move of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger immediately calmed Zhang Yong and these people. Although they were unwilling, they didn't dare to play any tricks.
Listening to the fun, Xu Yang didn't bother to talk nonsense and returned to his room.
He now has trouble, no mind to manage the idle affairs of Zhang Yong and the three, and he doesn't have the ability to offend the Poxiao Society and the Ruifeng Hall.
The road is chosen by himself, and the ending of the three can only be left to fate.
He has to guard Baiyao Hall at night, so he returned to the room and went to bed directly.
"What, Qin Ze, Yue Gui, and they announced the dissolution of the five-person alliance?"
In another courtyard, Ji Jincheng received the news of Qin Ze and others dissolving the alliance and couldn't help but look puzzled.
A good alliance, why did it dissolve? Are they not afraid of the suppression of the Chuying Society and the Ruifeng Hall?
"They publicly stated that the alliance has no substantial use, so it was dissolved.
However, according to the news I inquired about, it seems that because Xu Yang was targeted by a deacon and arranged to Qingyang City to do a dangerous guard mission, they were worried about continuing to ally with Xu Yang and being implicated by Xu Yang, and being given small shoes by that deacon, so they dissolved the alliance and broke ties with Xu Yang." Li Xu said.
He is one of the three disciples of the Liefeng Hall who successfully ascended the dragon, and now has a high status in the Chuying Society, responsible for collecting intelligence.
Ji Jincheng was shocked and stood up: "What did you say? Xu Yang was targeted by a deacon and arranged to Qingyang City to do a guard mission?"
He no longer cares about the news of the five-person alliance dissolving, only about Xu Yang's matter.
Li Xu nodded: "Yes, it is said that he goes to Qingyang City every afternoon and can only come back in the morning. There is not much time for cultivation. Qin Ze and the four are probably the same as him, so they hurriedly broke ties."
Ji Jincheng's expression changed. Xu Yang has to leave the Profound Heaven Sect to guard Qingyang City every day. Doesn't that mean there are many opportunities to kill Xu Yang?
"I can avenge Senior Brother Zhu Yang!" The murderous intent in his heart rose.
He also has an identity, which is Ji Yun's own nephew.
"However, Xu Yang comprehended the Wind-Thunder Force. Not only can I not kill him, but rushing to take revenge is just sending him to death. Junior Brother Kong Yu has gone to explore the treasure land with the people of the Qunying Society. What should I do?" ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
