"Such a bold statement, young master," the woman behind the curtain said disdainfully. "I can see you have some background, but is it really necessary to act this way?"
"Heh, your perception isn't bad. To be honest, I am pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts and hope to one day stand at the peak of the Heavenly Choice Continent. Therefore, the so-called power of your Li Huo Sect is not worth my attention," Ye Tian said as he lifted his cup and drank it all down, using Spiritual Energy to cleanse any toxins.
"You have quite the courage, knowing that tea is poisoned yet still daring to drink it," the woman behind the curtain clapped her hands and laughed.
"A mere poison is nothing in front of me." Ye Tian was also intent on undermining the self-important Fire Sect Leader, adopting an air of superiority.
Ye Tian had completely different tactics for dealing with various types of people. For someone like the Fire Sect Leader, who thought they could control everything and remained calm, Ye Tian aimed to make her feel ashamed and inferior.
"Heh." The Woman Behind the Curtain sneered, clearly annoyed to encounter someone she couldn't control.
"To be honest, your Li Huo Sect is nothing more than a low-tier sect in my eyes. The concept of power in your hands would probably tarnish those two words," Ye Tian mocked mercilessly.
The Li Huo Sect had over three thousand followers and controlled a thousand miles in the Square Area, which wasn't insignificant.
However, for Ye Tian, whether it was Luoma Market, Southern Wilderness Town, or Huanggang Ridge, each place he had experienced was dominated by powerful figures who ruled over tens of thousands of miles in the Square Area.
Moreover, as a disciple of Cloud Sea Clan and a holder of the Cloud Token, how could he be blinded by the so-called power of the Li Huo Sect?
"You seem to have quite an impressive background. Why not share it with me so I can broaden my horizons?" The Woman Behind the Curtain was also proud; she had founded the Li Huo Sect herself and achieved such success in just two years, which was no small feat.
"I'd hate to scare you; perhaps it's better if I don't say anything," Ye Tian replied with a cold smile.
"Scare me? Even figures from Divine Wood County must give me some respect when they arrive here. You hardly seem worthy of scaring me," The Woman Behind the Curtain's tone turned sharp, losing her previous composure.
"Ha ha, Divine Wood County? Is Divine Wood County really that impressive?" Ye Tian stood up and asked, "I wonder if you've heard of the Cloud Sea Sect?"
Upon hearing this, The Woman Behind the Curtain seemed to tremble slightly. Since establishing her sect, she had managed to impress many influential figures under her Glass Skirt, and her connections were extensive. Although it was just a small sect, it had garnered attention from many major forces nearby, allowing it to rise rapidly.
However, what worried her most was the Cloud Sea Sect, located thousands of miles away. As the largest sect in the realm, if they learned about the existence of the Li Huo Sect, which was considered a cult, they would surely send someone to eradicate it. At that point, no one would be able to protect them.
"Are you from the Cloud Sea Sect?"
"What do you think?" Ye Tian retorted.
"Even if you are, so what? This is thousands of miles away. If I kill you, the Cloud Sea Sect won't even get the news." The Woman Behind the Curtain regained her composure. Indeed, here she was the ruler. Within a thousand miles of Square Area, all the major forces had their connections. It could be said that eliminating a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect would not be difficult for her at all.
"You are quite naive," Ye Tian said, then a flash of light appeared at his fingertips as an object materialized in his hand. "Do you recognize this?"
Through the sheer veil, Ye Tian could even sense that the other party's breathing became rapid upon seeing the Cloud Token.
The Cloud Token was the highest token of recognition for disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect. As long as one walked within Divine Wood County, this item would make one feel as though a Lord were present; anyone with a bit of knowledge understood its significance.
"You actually are..." The Woman Behind the Curtain finally lost her calm completely.
"Ye Tian, a direct disciple of Cloud Sea Sect's Cloudscroll Pavilion," Ye Tian stated in a tone befitting someone in power.
He did not like to rely on his status to assert himself but often encountered those who tried to use their status to suppress others. However, he had to admit that he could not emulate that authoritative demeanor; at this moment, he wished he could embody Thunderstorm because Thunderstorm's presence truly exuded superiority.
"Direct disciple..." The Curtain stammered. She never expected this young man to have such a significant background. If he were merely an ordinary disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect, it wouldn't pose much pressure on her. But who would dare touch a direct disciple? If she left Ye Tian here today, the Cloud Sea Sect would dig three feet into the ground to find him.
It should be noted that holders of the Cloud Token were often candidates for future Masters of the Pavilion and might even aspire to lead the Cloud Sea Sect one day, standing at the pinnacle over millions of miles across Divine Wood County and Square Area with its hundreds of thousands of towns!
Harming someone like this, isn't that just asking for trouble?
"Young Master, we from the Li Huo Sect..."
"Are you trying to say that your Li Huo Sect has not done any wrong?" Ye Tianhan interrupted her.
"No... that's not wrong..." The Woman Behind the Curtain's confidence was clearly lacking.
However, Ye Tian's response was quite unexpected for her. She thought Ye Tian would ask for evidence or dare him to search, but she never imagined he would say this.
"I don't care whether you've done wrong or not; I just find your Li Huo Sect displeasing!"
"You!" The figure behind the curtain was furious and speechless. Even the Cloud Sea Sect shouldn't be treated this way.
"What about me? Do you want to die yourself, or should I do it?" Ye Tian pressed on. In fact, he was just putting on a show; without evidence, how could he recklessly attack a sect? He wasn't a bandit.
That said, he certainly had no evidence, but the appearance of the Li Huo Sect on the Cloud Sea Sect's mission list was the best proof.
He believed in the mysterious informants of the Cloud Sea Sect; those people were everywhere, more pervasive than air itself.
"Heh heh, heh heh heh..." Suddenly, a mad laughter came from behind the curtain. After laughing for a while, her tone turned extremely cold and malicious: "So what if you're a direct disciple? So what if you're from the Cloud Sea Sect? You’ve pushed me to a dead end, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"From what you’re saying, do you still think you can kill me?" Ye Tian retorted with a cold smile.
"You dare come here alone; you must have extraordinary strength. Although I can't guarantee I can kill you, do you really think you alone can contend against thousands of miles and the top experts from over a dozen major forces?" The Woman Behind the Curtain began to threaten him. However, calling it a threat wasn't entirely accurate; it was more like a desperate gamble.
At this point, she could only go all out and gather everyone who was under her Pomegranate Skirt to jointly eliminate Ye Tian.
Doing this has its pros and cons. If they fear Ye Tian's identity, they might change their strategy on the spot, leading to the rapid downfall of the Li Huo Sect. However, if they can use him to their advantage, kill Ye Tian, and then tightly seal off all information within a thousand miles of the Square Area, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
As for whether she can manipulate these individuals, it all depends on whether her "charm" is sufficient.
"Night Charm, go invite them here." From behind the Curtain, the Fire Sect Leader's cold and smug voice emerged. Although she lacked confidence, she certainly acted as if she were completely assured in this situation.
"Heh heh, you have helpers. The 'them' you mentioned refers to the strong individuals from various families within a thousand miles of this Square Area, right?" Ye Tian showed no signs of fear; he truly did not believe anyone would risk their life and the fate of their family for a promiscuous woman by attacking a disciple of the Cloud Sea Clan.
Moreover, in such a small place, a Ninth-Dan Martial Artist already represented the pinnacle of strength. With the addition of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and so on, they were not far from being invincible.
"We'll find out soon enough if they'll take action. I advise you not to be too confident. Even though the Cloud Sea Sect is powerful, it seems they haven't reached the point where they can exert influence everywhere."
"Ridiculous. Are you trying to bolster your own courage?" Ye Tian was too shrewd not to understand the other party's intentions and immediately pointed it out.
Upon hearing this, those behind the Curtain fell silent, only letting out cold sneers, clearly infuriated.
Ye Tian was not in a hurry to act; he wanted to see what kind of so-called strong individuals were coming. If necessary, he could deal with them all at once—another good deed accomplished.
About a stick of incense later, footsteps echoed up the stairs—thud thud thud. The footsteps were chaotic but upon closer listening, they were steady.
Among them, a few individuals intentionally emitted their aura; their strength was not weak, being at the late and mid stages of Four-Stage Martial Artists respectively.
"Overestimating themselves." Ye Tian sneered and also released his aura. The overwhelming power of a Ninth-Dan Martial Artist mixed with Crimson Dragon Golden Blood instantly swept through the entire Pavilion.
A gasp came from behind the Curtain; she never expected Ye Tian's strength to be so terrifying.
In the staircase, those two who had previously emitted their aura immediately retracted it, clearly feeling inferior.
Moments later, twelve people appeared on the third floor.
"Mei'er, what’s going on?" one of the burly men asked, casting a glance at Ye Tian. Since the maid hadn’t informed them of Ye Tian’s identity, this guy not only felt no fear but was also quite provocative.
"So you’re called Mei'er, huh? Charming little thing?"
"Shut up, who’s this brat!" another person shouted angrily. Although they sensed Ye Tian's extraordinary strength, they thought about their own numbers—most of them were above Seventh-Dan Martial Artists, and there were even two Four-Stage Martial Artists among them. There was no way this kid could survive.
"Who’s the reckless man here?" Ye Tian retorted.
"Brothers, Mei'er has something to say. This young man is a disciple of Cloud Sea Sect," Curtain said in a coy manner, but omitted the crucial detail that he was a holder of the Cloud Token.
Upon hearing the words "Cloud Sea Sect," many were taken aback and clearly hesitated.
Seeing this, Fire Sect Leader used her charm as a weapon again, "You all usually act so formidable; why do you cower at an ordinary disciple from Cloud Sea Sect? Where's your bravado gone?"
Fire Sect Leader emphasized the word "ordinary," and after a moment of contemplation, everyone steeled their hearts, preparing to take bold action.
So what if it was Cloud Sea Sect? He was just an ordinary disciple; who would know if they killed him?
