Ye Tian opened his mouth, and Lin the Elder immediately sensed that this kid was about to stir up trouble. Before he could stop him, Ye Tian had already spoken.
As expected, the boy's words were shocking, causing an uproar in the room.
Lin the Elder's purpose for coming here was solely for revenge. If he allowed Ye Tian to continue like this, it was likely that he would not only fail to avenge his original grievance but also create new enemies.
Instinctively wanting to pull Ye Tian, he noticed that Arhat Hall had already made their move.
The one who struck was Lu Ba. His physique resembled an Iron Tower, and with a punch, the sound of wind and thunder erupted, flipping the table over.
At that moment, Ye Tian still had half a cup of wine left. As the table and chairs flew, the wine was about to spill.
Frowning slightly, Ye Tian felt displeased. After all, he was part of a significant force; attacking without warning was no different from being a true street thug.
Of course, Ye Tian also understood that Lu Ba dared to act so recklessly because it was the seemingly righteous Arhat Hall Master who had instructed him using the Secret Sound Technique. The intention was for Lu Ba to act as cannon fodder to gauge his strength.
However, he underestimated Ye Tian. How could a mere Lu Ba compel Ye Tian to reveal his full power?
With a cold sneer, Ye Tian reached for the wine cup with his left hand while his right hand formed a palm strike, golden light flashing as he met the attack head-on.
Bang!
A loud sound erupted like Thunder, and as their fists and palms collided, a shockwave exploded outward.
The shockwave swept through the entire second floor of the tavern like a violent wind, shattering countless chairs into pieces and breaking all the windows and doors.
Lu Ba let out a muffled groan as his massive body flew along with the shattered chair fragments, crashing directly out of the window from the second floor.
Splash...
Once again, a dull sound echoed along with the terrified cries of passersby, and it was evident that Lu Ba had fallen onto the market street.
Inside, Shockwave was still rolling, and everyone was secretly mobilizing their Vital Shield. Broken wood, shattered bowls, and other debris struck against the Martial Origin Power protective barrier, creating a series of loud bangs, resulting in utter chaos.
However, this was only the scene involving the tall, thin man and Lin Qingshan; as for Ye Tian and Arhat Hall Master, the two remained calm and composed.
The two stood motionless, staring each other down. Ye Tian was at the source of Shockwave, so no debris came flying toward him, while Arhat Hall Master had his brows slightly raised, exerting pressure with an invisible wall of energy that pushed away all incoming objects within several feet.
"Good technique, impressive strength!"
Arhat Hall Master suddenly clapped his hands and sneered. The ease with which Ye Tian had sent Lu Ba flying was something even he felt he could not match.
Moreover, Lu Ba possessed Skyward Martial Arts; the fact that he fell directly onto the street indicated that after receiving a palm strike from Ye Tian, he could no longer control his body freely. This demonstrated just how terrifying the power behind that strike was.
"You're too kind," Ye Tian stood proudly. Although his words were polite, a sense of disdain was evident in his tone.
Clang clang clang...
Arhat Hall Master's fists tightened. Lu Ba was his strongest general; given this outcome, he could no longer stand by as a mere spectator.
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow and tilted his head back as golden light once again radiated from his palms.
The two faced off against each other while everyone else held their breath, sensing that a great battle was about to erupt.
At that moment, another overwhelming presence appeared on the street outside, accompanied by a sharp and piercing voice.
The voice was shrill and hard to hear clearly for those present; they only vaguely understood that something exciting was about to happen.
"Is it him?"
Arhat Hall Master guessed who had arrived and turned to look at the tall, thin man. Indeed, those few people were showing expressions of joy; it seemed strong reinforcements had arrived.
Ye Tian had no specific concept in mind, but he could roughly guess the situation by observing the expressions of others. However, he was not worried about it; more people meant more excitement.
After a moment, the fluctuations in breath ceased, and they had arrived at the tavern downstairs.
"Tsk tsk, Heroic Gathering Tavern, truly lives up to its name."
A sharp voice rang out again, making one feel uncomfortable all over, conjuring an image in the mind that was neither masculine nor feminine.
The men acted without hesitation, and the Innkeeper of the tavern was troubled. Although he had some backing, it was insignificant compared to the group upstairs. Not to mention the Arhat Hall Master and the mysterious young man whose origins were unknown; even someone like Lu Ba Hu Han was someone he could not afford to offend.
At this moment, another person arrived, and it seemed that his carefully managed tavern was going to face trouble today. Sighing, he thought that if only he hadn't named it Heroic Gathering Tavern, perhaps there wouldn't be such issues.
The Innkeeper was in a state of indescribable anxiety while the newcomer had already ascended to the second floor.
As soon as this person appeared, the group led by Tall and Thin Man immediately perked up. They shouted loudly, " Hua Yu Gongzi."
The person referred to as Hua Yu Gongzi nodded slightly at them, appearing quite unassuming. His Red Robe fluttered as he found a corner and sat down on a relatively intact chair.
Ye Tian and Arhat Hall Master naturally shifted their gazes to him. However, this person showed no signs of intimidation; he met their gaze and after a moment, covered his mouth with a smile and gestured, "Continue, you may continue."
"Someone from the Lin family." Ye Tian suddenly heard a voice in his ear; he recognized it as Lin Qingshan transmitting the Secret Sound Technique to him.
"Don't worry." Ye Tian replied, glancing at Hua Yu Gongzi again. It wasn't that he placed much importance on him; rather, this Hua Yu Gongzi reminded him of someone.
In the past, during the Martial Arts Selection Tournament, there was Xu Family Xu Ao.
Of course, this person was definitely not Xu Ao, but his attire made Ye Tian extremely annoyed.
"Hua Yu Gongzi, that person is..." Tall and Thin Man whispered something to Hua Yu Gongzi, occasionally pointing towards Lin Qingshan.
"There's no rush; let's watch the tiger fight." It was unclear whether Hua Yu Gongzi was lacking in sense or what, but he actually said this out loud.
Arhat Hall Master's expression turned cold; he did not like the feeling of being used as a pawn. As for Ye Tian, he nodded slightly, thinking that this person was not only not foolish but also quite shrewd.
His statement directly declared his position, meaning that the two of them need not waste their efforts on him. Unless they finished their fight, he would not make a move.
Since the other party had made their stance clear, Lin Qingshan's safety could be temporarily set aside. However, with advantages come disadvantages. Ye Tian was confident he could take down Arhat Hall Master, but he was not sure he could stop Hua Yu Gongzi from harming Lin Qingshan afterward.
Lin Qingshan naturally sensed the situation and began to feel uneasy.
“Lin the Elder, I will hold everyone off; you find an opportunity to escape. Let’s meet at the thatched cottage,” Ye Tian whispered using Secret Sound Technique. With Hua Yu Gongzi joining in, the situation was nearing chaos, and Ye Tian had to make thorough preparations. Whether or not he could take revenge was no longer important; protecting Lin the Elder was the priority.
Lin Qingshan nodded without showing any emotion, regretting his decisions deeply at that moment. The reasons for this situation were twofold: first, he had misjudged the development speed of martial arts in Southern Wilderness Town. Before coming here, he had boasted to Ye Tian that the strongest expert in Southern Wilderness Town was at most a Five-Stage Martial Artist. This directly led to Ye Tian's reckless behavior. Second, Ye Tian was young and impulsive; his actions had drawn too much attention.
The only silver lining in this unfortunate situation was that Ye Tian's strength was far greater than he had imagined. Just considering his earlier statement, “I will hold everyone off,” it was evident that he had such confidence in front of so many experts.
“Wait, the situation has changed.”
Just as Lin Qingshan was feeling extremely anxious, he heard Ye Tian's voice again. He quickly turned to look and saw Ye Tian staring coldly at Arhat Hall Master and Hua Yu Gongzi, smirking.
Since Ye Tian said to wait, they had no choice but to do so, even though Lin Qingshan did not know what trick this kid was planning next.
At this moment, Hua Yu Gongzi was posing elegantly, appearing relaxed and carefree. However, beneath that facade, one could see a glint of vigilance in his eyes as if he were guarding against something.
In contrast, Arhat Hall Master's behavior was even more evident. He had initially faced Ye Tian, but now he had slightly shifted his position, clearly guarding against both Ye Tian and Hua Yu Gongzi.
Seeing this, Ye Tian understood immediately. The enmity between Hua Yu Gongzi and Arhat Hall Master seemed significant; with just a little provocation, they might end up fighting each other fiercely.
However, Ye Tian did not expect them to fight to the death; after all, both were cunning individuals. A chaotic battle would be sufficient.
“Hua Yu Gongzi, right?” Ye Tian suddenly addressed him.
The latter nodded with an unchanging smile. Moreover, his gaze almost pushed Ye Tian back two steps...
Ye Tian felt a churn in his stomach as a big man cast a flirtatious glance at him, a sensation that was truly unpleasant.
"I know you have a grudge against the Arhat Hall Master, and coincidentally, I don't get along with him either." Ye Tian suppressed his disgust, his words deliberately vague.
Although this statement was clearly meant to sow discord, it struck the Arhat Hall Master like a bolt from the blue. Even in a one-on-one confrontation with Ye Tian, he had no confidence in winning; if the two joined forces to attack him, how could he avoid defeat?
Over there, Hua Yu Gongzi seemed to have a change of expression. He had no enmity with Ye Tian, and the threat posed by Lin Qingshan to Arhat Hall was evidently greater for the latter. With strong reinforcements present today, it was indeed a fortuitous opportunity to eradicate Arhat Hall.
However, he also understood the stakes well. If the Arhat Hall Master were to die, he would have no assurance of being able to contend with Ye Tian, and Lin Qingshan might very well escape. This person had disappeared for over ten years and suddenly reappeared today; if he were allowed to flee, all the hard work of searching and monitoring day and night over the past decade would be in vain.
"What? Do you think it's inappropriate?" Ye Tian asked as he noticed Hua Yu Gongzi hesitating.
This matter certainly required contemplation, but Ye Tian did not give Hua Yu Gongzi any chance to think. He directly addressed the Arhat Hall Master: "If he disagrees, then so be it. I believe you can see the situation and the bigger picture; why don't we join forces?"
Ye Tian's swift change of stance left everyone astonished. What had initially seemed like a precarious situation turned into an opportunity where he not only extricated himself but also positioned himself as a key player influencing the entire scenario…
Gain it, and victory is assured. Lose it, and defeat is inevitable.
