Kapitel 146: I think I didn't teach them this
"Hand over all your gold soul coins!"
Yuan Batian stopped in his tracks, crossed his arms, and spoke to the trembling people who were still kneeling.
As soon as he said this, there was complete silence.
The kneeling people were stunned, glancing at Yuan Batian with a hint of confusion.
The Body Sect was such a powerful sect; they wouldn't go after their meager possessions…
That's what they thought, but they still obediently handed over all their savings.
Yuan Batian was quite satisfied upon seeing this.
But out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the leader of the group was still groaning and hadn't taken out any gold soul coins.
He walked over and kicked the leader two meters away, saying, "And you too!"
"Ow…"
The leader was numb with pain. Was this really necessary?
Was it really worth it?
It wasn't that he didn't want to hand them over; it was just that the pain made it impossible for him to do so!
But he had no choice but to muster up the strength to take out his gold soul coins from his pocket.
A flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
Revenge was impossible!
Seeking revenge would be asking for death…
"Very good. A gentleman loves wealth and takes it in the right way."
"I like gold soul coins, so taking yours is perfectly reasonable!"
After murmuring this, Yuan Batian turned to a large man next to him and said, "Fourth Brother, collect these gold soul coins. Next time, buy more supplies to treat the brothers to a good meal!"
"Got it, Boss!"
"These gold soul coins should be enough for a meal."
"Hmm~"
Once "Old Wu" had collected the gold soul coins, Yuan Batian addressed the group: "If you don't learn manners, you won't be able to stand!"
"If you don't learn the etiquette to respect our Body Sect, I'll beat you down until you can't stand!"
This statement was like a thunderclap!
Those in the shadows knew that Zhongli was someone who highly valued "etiquette."
Especially Zhongli himself; every action and piece of attire was meticulously chosen to reflect propriety!
Every step he took seemed as if it had been carefully planned in advance.
Indeed, this was true for Zhongli, but it was a habit… he never demanded others do the same.
After hearing "If you don't learn manners, you won't be able to stand," the group finally understood Zhongli's deeper meaning.
Zhongli: That's not true, I didn't say that, don't make things up!
Fortunately, their "boss" always paid great attention to etiquette in front of the Martial God Douluo; otherwise, he would have met the same fate!
Being beaten by the Martial God Douluo until he couldn't stand!
Who could withstand that…
If it weren't for this reason, who would have the spare time to follow the Body Sect's movements!
"Do you understand?"
Yuan Batian said expressionlessly, his entire body exuding an aura of a strong man—this was his presence!
A kind of aura similar to killing intent.
Although it wasn't a domain, this aura alone was enough to send shivers down his opponents' spines!
Before a fight even started, the opponents would already lose some of their resolve.
"Y-Yes, we understand…"
The group's voices were as faint as the buzz of mosquitoes; they didn't dare speak loudly at all.
Yuan Batian frowned; he disliked people like this. They weren't girls, after all.
If the only girl spoke like that, it would be acceptable, but these guys—did they not eat?
"Did you all not eat?"
"Louder!"
Hearing this, the group trembled all over!
"We understand!"
"Very good, now that's some manliness!"
"Learn your manners properly, or else I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
"Yes!"
The group felt like crying but had no tears left; it was such a disaster for them! The situation was beyond their control, and there was nothing they could do about it! However, thinking about it from another perspective, the Body Sect didn't seem so bad?
He only mentioned beating them up, not killing them!
Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't even be alive to see the sun rise tomorrow.
"Um, as long as we respect you, we won't get beaten up?"
At this point, the only girl in the group timidly asked.
She was terrified. Only after the incident happened did she realize that they had offended people they shouldn't have.
Considering her looks, the outcome of offending such people wouldn't normally be good.
But the other party merely took their gold soul coins…
Yuan Batian's brow furrowed, causing the girl to tremble even more. She regretted it—she shouldn't have asked!
They were already about to leave; why did she have to speak up?
"Hmph, does our Body Sect look like the kind of sect that goes around causing trouble for others?"
Yuan Batian snorted coldly. If the other party hadn't been at fault first, who would bother to go out of their way to make trouble?
Wouldn't it be better to spend more time training, exercising, preparing for a second awakening, and getting stronger?
After saying this, Yuan Batian waved to his brothers and headed toward the city gate.
Along the way, they encountered two groups of royal knights, who acted as if they hadn't seen them at all.
Under normal circumstances, what Yuan Batian and his men were doing would be considered a violation of the regulations set by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
No fighting was allowed within Heaven Dou City, except in the Battle Arena…
But the orders from above were clear—if Body Sect disciples didn't kill anyone inside the city, just act as if they didn't see anything.
It was only after Yuan Batian and his men had left for some time that the group finally got up from the ground, their legs still trembling.
As for their leader, he couldn't even get up at this point, and no one bothered to help him.
The group exchanged glances, feeling like they had narrowly escaped death.
At that moment, an elderly man with a gloomy expression emerged from the shadows.
His face was pale, and on his right shoulder was a large handprint. His right arm hung limply, as if it were broken.
Yes, his arm was indeed broken!
It had been crushed by someone's hand!
He had been there the entire time, watching everything unfold from beginning to end.
When their leader had been beaten, he had planned to step in and offer some advice.
But he didn't expect...
The elder swallowed hard, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped death as well!
"Teacher!"
When the group saw the elder's condition, they were shocked. This elder was a Soul Saint-level expert!
Without them realizing, he had been crippled by someone, losing the use of one arm?
"Don't think about revenge. Listen to that deacon's words—learn proper etiquette and show absolute respect to the Body Sect."
"This time, they were merciful. If there's a next time…"
The elder shivered, feeling as if death itself was looming close by.
At the beginning, he hadn't stopped the group from their "scam," and he even sneered.
A mere Soul Elder dared to carry so many storage soul tools; if this were outside the city, he wouldn't have been able to resist taking action himself.
But to his surprise, the reason this person dared to carry so many storage soul tools was because they had the confidence to do so!
Even without the Martial God's backing, this person could summon three thousand disciples in an instant. What power wouldn't dare challenge them?
This time, they were caught off guard!
In the world of soul masters, such things are inevitable.
He could only accept his loss.
One thing worth mentioning: the person who shattered his shoulder wasn't the Martial God Douluo...
At that moment, Zhongli and Paimon, hiding in the shadows, exchanged glances, completely bewildered.
