Intimidation over violence, I don't believe that. People are simply too stupid to acknowledge a fellow disciple Yuan, who's not much older than them or might be younger to possess such strength. They will think it's a tool that exudes the aura that Yuan exudes and they will think he is a cheat and antagonize him more. Cultivators are simply unreasonable specially envious ones. They need to get what they want and need for them to understand the situation, a bloody beating. And somehow, it applies in real life.
