When returning to his residence, someone was already waiting at Ye Tian's door. Judging from the person's attire, they appeared to be a disciple of Cloud-Drifting Pavilion.
Ye Tian frowned slightly; he was an enemy of Cloud-Drifting Pavilion, so it was strange for a disciple of theirs to visit him.
"Could it be that Senior Brother Guan Yangyu has come with news!"
He felt a surge of excitement. He and Guan Yangyu had a mutual respect for each other, but ever since the assassination incident, Guan Yangyu had been sent off to carry out some secret mission and had not been heard from in a long time.
"This senior brother, may I ask what brings you here?" Ye Tian stepped forward and, seeing that the person was older, addressed him respectfully as "senior brother."
The man quickly waved his hands, looking flustered. "No, no, I dare not claim such a title. I am only here to deliver a message."
Ye Tian did not feel the need to be overly courteous; he had no good feelings towards the disciples of Cloud-Drifting Pavilion. Moreover, in their eyes, he was practically a nemesis and the embodiment of the Demon God, so there was no need for excessive politeness.
"Whose message?" Ye Tian asked.
"From Young Master Lei," the man replied respectfully as he handed over the letter.
These individuals would act arrogantly if the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters were present, but without their backing, they became like wilted eggplants. Furthermore, facing Ye Tian himself, even if the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters were around, they would not dare to be reckless.
"From Thunderstorm?" Ye Tian was taken aback; Young Master Lei referred to Thunderstorm, as people from Cloud Sea Sect liked to call him Thunderstorm.
"That's right. The message has been delivered; I shall take my leave now," the man said as he glanced at Ye Tian, fearing that the latter might retaliate against him.
"Go ahead." Ye Tian waved his hand, feeling quite annoyed with the person. He was not a villain; even though he had a conflict with the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, he wouldn't resort to violence against a mere errand runner.
Upon hearing this, the person visibly relaxed, as facing Ye Tian was indeed a painful experience for him.
Back in his room, Ye Tian opened the envelope, and the contents revealed an invitation for him to attend a banquet at the Cloud-Drifting Pavilion that evening.
"What is their intention..." Ye Tian was puzzled. Did Thunderstorm intend to openly ally with the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters to target him? Were they setting up a trap for him at a banquet?
Moreover, he had clearly met Thunderstorm before; why hadn’t he mentioned this directly and instead sent someone to deliver a message?
Everything seemed illogical. Could it be that the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters had some grievances with Thunderstorm and wanted to use him to lure Ye Tian to the Cloud-Drifting Pavilion, eliminate him, and then frame Thunderstorm for it? It would be killing two birds with one stone.
After thinking for a while, Ye Tian felt this scenario was the most likely. After all, Thunderstorm was a prominent figure at the Cloud-Drifting Pavilion. Although the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters had a special status, their strength was far inferior to Thunderstorm's. If there were no external interferences in the future Lord's position, it would be fine; however, if someone with ulterior motives intervened, it was hard to say who would ultimately seize power.
Thus, Thunderstorm might have already been seen as a thorn in the side by the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, and as for Ye Tian, they probably dreamed of eliminating him.
"Should I contact Thunderstorm first? It would be good to prepare after exchanging information," Ye Tian thought as he sat down to pour himself some tea.
After a moment, he released the Message Bug. This matter had to be taken seriously; he wasn't afraid of attending alone but worried about complications arising that could put Cold Moon in a difficult position.
However, Ye Tian was actually overthinking it. The banquet was organized entirely by Thunderstorm. The reason he didn’t directly invite Ye Tian was that there were many people near Hidden Martial Pavilion, and since Ye Tian was with Duan Liu, he felt that inviting Ye Tian directly might undermine his own status.
Moreover, this did not affect his position as Cloud Pavilion Master because Qiu Tiande had long made it clear that if he ever stepped down, the Lord's position would definitely go to Qiu Zixuan. However, actual power would rest in Thunderstorm's hands as he would assist his beloved son.
Thunderstorm was quite satisfied with this arrangement; after all, he didn’t particularly care about being Lord. What mattered to him was standing at the pinnacle of Cloud Sea Sect.
About half an hour later, the Message Bug returned. Apart from the note Ye Tian had sent out, no other content was transmitted back.
This left Ye Tian quite puzzled; he never expected that Thunderstorm would secretly curse him as a foolish dog after watching.
By evening, according to the agreement, Ye Tian arrived at the foot of Dancing Cloud Peak.
This was his first time visiting Dancing Cloud Peak, and the mountain was even more majestic and towering than he had imagined. Previously, he had only viewed it from a distance, but now that he was close, it presented a grand sight.
At this moment, many people had gathered at the foot of the mountain, consisting mainly of elders and older disciples. It was clear that they were invited purely based on their strength.
Of course, there were also some Young Disciples among them. Looking around, each one was a notable figure within Cloud Sea Sect.
If nothing else, Ye Tian was not particularly eye-catching in the crowd; however, his reputation was simply too loud.
Since becoming a holder of the Cloud Token on the second day of entering the mountain, openly confronting the Qiu Family Twins, then slaying Left Sword Star, causing a commotion at Luoma Market, consolidating Southern Wilderness Town, uprooting Huanggang Ridge, and now exchanging for a Profound-Grade Martial Arts manual within two months, Ye Tian's actions made it impossible for him to remain unknown.
Moreover, they were still unaware of Ye Tian's battle with Guan Yangyu and the assassination of Qiu Ziming. If they knew about these events, they would likely be utterly shocked.
However, fame is not always a good thing; many people might choose to stand against you simply because of your notoriety.
"Hey, isn't this Ye Tian? So when are you going to take down Li Xun and claim the top position at Cloudscroll Pavilion?"
A sharp voice rang out. Ye Tian turned to see a man in a purple robe; judging by his attire, he appeared to be from Falling Cloud Pavilion.
"And you are?" Although Ye Tian felt displeased, he decided to endure for a moment when he thought of Yue Lingwei.
"Don't dare call me senior; I am Chai Shi, a disciple of Falling Cloud Pavilion," the man in purple replied.
"Ah, so you are a senior from Falling Cloud Pavilion. I wonder if Brother Yue has arrived?" Ye Tian asked with a smile. Anyone who could come here was someone of significance. Not to mention that Chai Shi dared to openly provoke him; based on his status alone, he must at least be among the direct disciples.
Of course, Ye Tian was not concerned about his identity or strength, but rather because Falling Cloud Pavilion was under the stewardship of Yue Lingwei, and the two had a good relationship. He had to give him some face; otherwise, it would be awkward for everyone.
"Heh heh, Brother Yue, you're more affectionate than I am. Whether he comes or not has nothing to do with me," Chai Shi sneered, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh?" Ye Tian realized that Chai Shi was likely the one who had failed to compete with Yue Lingwei for control over Falling Cloud Pavilion. It was said that after he was not chosen by his master to take over the banner of Falling Cloud Pavilion, he became dissatisfied and had been getting close to Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, clearly showing he was cut from the same cloth.
Since that was the case, Ye Tian saw no need to give him any face.
"Heh heh, I remember now; you’re the one they call 'Stepping in Dog Waste' Master, right?"
"It's Chai, not Stepping!" Chai Shi was furious; Ye Tian was clearly making fun of his name, which he hated more than anything else.
"Got it, it's Chai. What do you want from me?"
"What do I want? Can't I call you if there's nothing going on? What a big shot you are!" Chai Shi shouted loudly, immediately attracting many onlookers.
Ye Tian understood at once that this guy thought he could provoke him and wanted to embarrass him in front of everyone. Since that was the case, he might as well play along.
"Calling me for no reason? You admire me that much?"
"Of course! I'm in awe of your clothes that look like they've been bleached white. I'm in awe of your friends who are not worth mentioning. Oh right, I'm also in awe of you coming from some small town," Chai Shi said sarcastically, implying that Ye Tian's background was lowly.
"Brother Chai, you truly live up to being a local young master from Divine Wood County; your speech is so effeminate and full of spoiled arrogance," Ye Tian replied with a cold smile.
"Ye Tian, let's cut the nonsense. I don't have time to waste with you. To be honest, I just can't stand you. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson," Chai Shi said as he rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight.
"Did your master send you? Or are you just feeling bold and want to bite someone?" Ye Tian showed no mercy; although Chai Shi was also a holder of Cloud Token, everyone knew he was merely a dog for Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters.
Of course, he is a well-bred dog.
"Stop talking nonsense and let your strength do the talking." Chai Shi was not angry; as a holder of Cloud Token, he was no fool. He had his own judgments before doing anything. Ever since he had firmly allied himself with the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, he knew how others would look at him.
"Alright, I prefer it when strength speaks. How do you want to play?" Ye Tian did not refuse. During this mission, he had mastered the use of Stormy Winds and Thunder to an unpredictable level. Although he still had not comprehended the words of the sect master, he had already reached the limit of what he could understand.
At Earth Level Five, the Stormy Winds and Thunder in his hands could probably rival that of Earth Level Eight or even be comparable to Earth Level Nine!
"You are quite straightforward. How about this: let's exchange three strikes and see who ends up in a more embarrassing situation?" Chai Shi said with a sly smile.
"I heard that Chai Shi has already perfected Spiral Force. If they exchange blows, Ye Tian is likely to suffer."
"That's right, and there are rumors that he has entered Martial Unity Definition."
"Is that so? No wonder he's so arrogant. However, Ye Tian is not someone to be trifled with."
"This will be interesting; this spectacle is sure to be entertaining."
As the two prepared to compare their strengths, the audience began to discuss among themselves. Most of them were individuals above Martial Unity Definition, each with their own opinions, and they were eager to see what kind of strength these so-called exceptionally talented juniors possessed.
Thus, no one intervened; in fact, they secretly hoped for a fierce battle between the two.
