Chapter 203: I Was Forced

<p>"Isn't he Yang Zhai?" <br/><br/>Yang Zhai was on his way to the noble selection hall with Wei Li and the others when he heard his name. <br/><br/>He slowed his speed down. <br/><br/>"It seems like it."<br/><br/>"I heard he took the Death Warrant from the clan's treasury."<br/><br/>"Not just you, but the whole clan knows it." "He was the one who took the Death Warrant? But from his face, he seems innocent. How come he can pick the Death Warrant?"<br/><br/>Many people were talking about Yang Zhai and the Death Warrant. <br/><br/>So, they even spread the rumors that I picked up the Death Warrant, just what is happening? Whatever is happening is not good, I need to get rid of the fake Death Warrant; otherwise, I will definitely get in trouble: Yang Zhai thought. <br/><br/>First, they make me pick up a fake Death Warrant, and then they even spread the news. Not just, from what I understand, other people know that I picked up a real Death Warrant. Something is definitely going on behind the scenes that I don't know.<br/><br/>Yang Zhai was pondering on his way to the hall. He had a bad feeling about what was happening. <br/><br/>After a while, they arrived in front of the noble selection hall. <br/><br/>"Wait here, I will go and ask them to call for the elders." Wei Li went to one of the counters after saying this.<br/><br/>Becoming a noble required a proper procedure and all. All of the higher-ups had to come before the noble selection could begin. It could take up to one to three hours. Summoning all of the elders who were responsible for the noble selection would require an hour or even more. The elders were also bound to come according to the Clan rules. Therefore, the noble selection could begin at any time for a whole week after it started. <br/><br/>After two hours,<br/><br/>A few people walked into the hall. Among them were elder Shu Ti, elder Zihao De, elder Wang Yeol and also Han Ako.<br/><br/>They all sat on the chairs, except for Han Ako.<br/><br/>"So, I have heard that you want to become a noble family? Are you sure that you are ready?" Han Ako asked Wei Li and then looked at Yang Zhai.<br/><br/>Wei Li understood what Han Ako meant. She was asking whether Yang Zhai was willing to become a noble this time and would not reject it.<br/><br/>"Yes, we want to become a noble family, and this time, there won't be any problems." Wei Li spoke with confidence.<br/><br/>"Very well, then let's begin. First, you need to touch the Glimpse of Power."<br/><br/>Wei Li came forward and touched the stone. The same procedure was followed as was on the first day. After Wei Li, came Bin Wei, Hyun Hae, and Lie Yi. Glimpse of Power was a stone that could help in detecting the rank of a cultivator; however, after that, the stone would mostly break.<br/><br/>Even though they had already done this on the first day of the selection, Han Ako made them touch the stone again. <br/><br/>"Next Yang Zhai, come forward and touch the stone." Wei Li looked at Yang Zhai and summoned him.<br/><br/>"Elder, I don't want to become a noble." Yang Zhai said, shocking everyone, even the third elder and the second elder.<br/><br/>"Uh, why is that?" Han Ako asked.<br/><br/>"Same as before," Yang Zhai replied.<br/><br/>"Then why did you come here if you did not want to become a noble?" Han Ako looked at Yang Zhai with narrowed eyes. <br/><br/>"It was because I was forced by Wei Li."  Yang Zhai replied, leaving everyone speechless.<br/><br/>This fool, I clearly saw him strike a deal with Wei Li with my own eyes, and now he is saying that he was forced!!: Elder Zihao De thought.<br/><br/>Elder Shu Ti looked at Zihao De with doubting eyes, seemingly saying: Didn't you say that he took essence stones from Wei Li, then why is he saying this?!!<br/><br/>Wang Yeol also looked at Yang Zhai with a helpless smile and thought: He surely knows how to benefit.<br/><br/>However, nobody said what they were thinking.<br/><br/>"Elder, this man forced me into coming here and threatened me that I need to help them become a noble family, if not, he will kill me. Now that you are here, I don't fear him anymore." Yang Zhai said. <br/><br/>Everyone:"..."<br/><br/>Even Wei Li:"..."<br/><br/>He can act, that's for sure: Han Ako shook her head. Yang Zhai had not only taken essence stones from Wei Li but also made them come here for nothing. <br/><br/>"Yang Zhai, what are you saying, you took essence stones from me, and now you are double-crossing me. What do you take me for?" Wei Li shouted at Yang Zhai.<br/><br/>"What essence stones? Don't put false accusations on me." Yang Zhai said and thought: I am sure they already know that I took essence stones from Zihao De; otherwise, they would not have come here without asking me whether I wanted to become a noble or not; after all, I had rejected the last time, so why would I suddenly agree, and then, Zihao De should always be following me, he had clearly seen me taking essence stones from Wei Li. But what can they do even if they know?<br/><br/>The clan needed Yang Zhai and could not lose him, or afford for him to lose in the final round of the competition between the Bai clan and the Ma clan; thus, they could also not imprison him and waste the time that he could use for training. And anyway, it was Wei Li's fault, it was he who tried to bribe Yang Zhai and lost, well this was what the others knew. For these reasons, everyone kept quiet. <br/><br/>"Yang Zhai, you basta*d!!" Wei Li lunged at Yang Zhai with anger.<br/><br/>Now's my chance; Yang Zhai thought and pulled out the fake Death Warrant. He moved it in front of Wei Li's attack. He made sure to not activate the treasure. In fact, he made sure that he added more impact to the fake Death Warrant.<br/><br/>Both Wei Li's attack and the Death Warrant struck each other with powerful impact from both sides. <br/><br/>However, the Death Warrant was still weak in front of Wei Li's attack and came flying back at Yang Zhai. <br/><br/>Yang Zhai had only used thirty percent of his strength, and only physical strength at that. If he had used his full strength, others would have realized his true strength. <br/><br/>Yang Zhai did not stop and threw the fake Death Warrant at Wei Li like a ball, without activating it.<br/><br/>Others:"..."<br/><br/>Zihao De:"..."<br/><br/>What the…!!! Who uses a treasure like this?!!!<br/><br/>Wei Li did not hold back and attacked with one of his strongest attacks. A fire arrow came at the fake Death Warrant and pierced it.<br/><br/>The speed of the fire arrow decreased, and even a rank 2 cultivator could easily dodge it, and so did Yang Zhai. <br/><br/>Wei Li attacked with a fireball, and it struck Yang Zhai. Yang Zhai did not dodge it and acted as if his reaction speed was slow. He was struck by the fireball and was thrown back. Yang Zhai had also retracted most of his strength back, allowing the fireball to deal as much damage as possible. His skin was a little stronger because of the Earth Skin Ka he had used, which was given by Zihao De. But, therefore the damage was decreased by a small amount; however, not much as Wei Li had attacked with a rank 3 technique.<br/><br/>"Wei Li, stop!" Zihao De saw the situation turning worse. He jumped in front of Yang Zhai and shouted at Wei Li.<br/><br/><br/>!*****!*****!</p>
