Wang Tianxiong's expression darkened. Although Ye Tian's strike did not send him flying, he felt a tremendous force surging wildly within his arm.
He immediately mobilized all his strength to protect his arm; otherwise, that force could potentially spread throughout his body.
Once it spread, he understood very well what kind of fate awaited him.
"Who exactly are you?" Wang Tianxiong asked in shock.
In front of him stood a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, while he himself was already a master at the Ninth-Dan Martial Artist level, just one step away from becoming a Martial Unity Expert. Moreover, he harbored secrets within him that others did not know.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to secure a position in a place like the Flower Pavilion!
"It doesn't matter who I am; what matters is that you have offended me," Ye Tian replied. After delivering his strike, he did not continue the assault but took a step back, coldly assessing Wang Tianxiong.
He knew that his strike had already been enough to put Wang Tianxiong in a difficult position. Furthermore, he was not a ruthless killer; there was no need to go to extremes over a minor conflict.
"Kid, you should know that even if you defeat me today, if you can't produce something that makes me submit, you won't live long!" Wang Tianxiong no longer dared to underestimate Ye Tian; at the very least, he did not dare to do so given his own strength.
However, what kind of place was the Flower Pavilion? It was one of the top establishments in the entire Divine Wood County. Although it was merely a brothel, the power hidden behind it was not something an ordinary rogue cultivator could provoke.
Even if you achieved Martial Unity, if you truly had no background, then in front of the Flower Pavilion, you would be insignificant.
In other words, in front of their unknown foundations, figures defined by Martial Unity were hardly more than ants.
"Ye Tian, stop wasting time with him. Take out the Cloud Token and scare the hell out of him," Duan Liu said as he struck down another Turtle Slave and turned to Ye Tian.
"Cloud Token?" Wang Tianxiong exclaimed in surprise. A person like him, who navigated various high-profile occasions, understood far better than others what the Cloud Token represented.
It was precisely because of this that he had been scolded by a Cloud Token holder while upstairs and dared not to defy them in the slightest.
At this moment, that burly man actually claimed that this young man was a Cloud Token holder, but according to him, there seemed to be no such young Cloud Token holder in the entire Cloud Sea Sect.
"The youngest should be Cold Moon, the beautiful disciple of Azure Cloud Pavilion, followed by Thunderstorm, the Chief Disciple of Cloud-Drifting Pavilion. This kid..."
Suddenly, he thought of someone. That person had gained fame in the past year, daring to compete with figures like Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, eliminating bandit strongholds at the level of Huanggang Ridge, unafraid of power, and practically unrestrained by order in the Cloud Sea Sect—truly an anomaly.
Of course, he was also a rapidly rising figure of the new generation!
"Could it be you are Ye Tian?!" Wang Tianxiong asked in shock. If it really was Ye Tian, then he had truly run into bad luck today.
"I am Ye Tian, no need for any name changes," Ye Tian said with a cold smile. However, he did not expect his name to be so well-known in Divine Wood County.
Wang Tianxiong frowned and looked at him several times, clearly still somewhat skeptical. Although this young man's strength matched that of the rumored Ye Tian, it was said that Ye Tian was different from others' extravagant lifestyles and shouldn't be in a place like this.
"Get lost quickly; I don't want to be bothered," Ye Tian said as he turned to head upstairs.
"Wait." Wang Tianxiong decided to take a gamble. The earlier fight had already attracted too many people; he didn't want to become a laughingstock. As a dignified Flower Pavilion envoy, being intimidated by a mere youth without understanding his identity would be embarrassing if it got out.
However, figuring out the young man's identity was quite a tricky matter.
His strength was clearly not on the same level as this young man’s. If he were to handle it forcefully, it would likely result in even more embarrassment. But if he were to back down, he wouldn't gain any face either.
What he needed to do now was think of a way to get the young man to reveal his identity voluntarily, and ideally, for him to truly be Ye Tian from Cloud Sea Sect.
Yet how to devise such a plan and what actions to take to resolve this issue continued to give Wang Tianxiong a headache.
"What's the matter? Are you not going to move?" Ye Tian frowned as he looked at Wang Tianxiong, who was still blocking his way. This was already his limit; if Wang Tianxiong continued to look down on him, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't resort to violence.
"Sigh, what a hassle." Duan Liu's thoughts were simpler; he planned to take out the Cloud Token to intimidate the other party.
He walked in front of Ye Tian, activated his Martial Origin Power, and directly retrieved the Cloud Token from Ye Tian's Xumi Ring.
Upon seeing the Cloud Token, Wang Tianxiong's heart stirred. He hadn't expected that this seemingly inconspicuous young man was actually Ye Tian!
"So it really is Young Master Ye. I apologize for my lack of discernment. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you can forgive me." Wang Tianxiong sighed in relief. To Duan Liu, it seemed that he had been intimidated, but little did he know that this was exactly what Wang Tianxiong had hoped for.
Because if Ye Tian revealed the Cloud Token, he could gracefully back down. If anyone mentioned it outside, he could claim it was for the sake of the Flower Pavilion, enduring humiliation for a greater cause.
"Heh, just this little jade token can make you change your attitude so drastically. I really want to ask if you all have dog eyes!" Duan Liu seized the opportunity to mock.
Wang Tianxiong's expression darkened. Ye Tian had the Cloud Token, which gave him a reasonable excuse to endure this situation, but he couldn't figure out who Duan Liu was.
Images flashed through his mind—faces one after another—but in the end, he found nothing.
The burly man in front of him looked to be only in his twenties but had a face that seemed nearly forty. It appeared that there was only one person named Yue Lingwei from the Cloud Sea Sect.
However, Yue Lingwei was the Chief Disciple of Falling Cloud Pavilion, and Wang Tianxiong had met him a few times; this person before him was definitely not him.
But why was he acting so arrogantly?
Wang Tianxiong fell into a dilemma and confusion. He could let Ye Tian pass, but he couldn't easily let this guy go without figuring out his identity.
Otherwise, no matter how much face he had, it wouldn't be enough to save him from embarrassment.
Even so, Wang Tianxiong had to slow down his tone a bit; after all, it was evident that he was a friend of Ye Tian.
"This brave man, may I ask where you come from?" Wang Tianxiong asked as he blocked Duan Liu's path. Although his words were not overtly offensive, anyone could hear the doubt and disdain in his voice.
"I am your granduncle!" Duan Liu replied rudely, lacking the refinement of Ye Tian.
"You should be careful with your words. Although I have the ability to restrain you, it doesn't mean you can act recklessly in Flower Pavilion," Wang Tianxiong said, cleverly trying to invoke the presence of a powerful figure behind him, knowing that somewhere in the shadows, there were likely one or more significant individuals watching.
"Furthermore, I want to inform you that in Flower Pavilion, even holders of Cloud Tokens can only facilitate their own convenience. This place is not one where you can enter freely just because of friends; what matters here is your own strength and status," Wang Tianxiong added, which was indeed the truth.
If having status allowed one to bring others in at will, then Flower Pavilion would be no different from some small places. Here, people are judged based on their merits, but each person can only bring one guest.
"What? Do I need to show you my Cloud Token before you'll back off?" Duan Liu lied without changing his expression.
Wang Tianxiong felt suspicious; he had certainly never heard of anyone from Cloud Sea Sect being a Cloud Token holder. However, after failing to recognize Ye Tian earlier, he was now uncertain.
If this guy really pulled out a Cloud Token, he would lose all face today.
"Are you going to let me go up or not? This is my last question for you; this is your final chance, so cherish it," Duan Liu said mysteriously, even engaging in psychological warfare.
At this moment, Ye Tian was already standing at the corner of the stairs, quietly watching what tricks Duan Liu would pull. After hearing this statement, he couldn't help but laugh; he never expected the usually dim-witted Duan Liu would play such a card.
Downstairs, Duan Liu winked at Ye Tian, making it clear that he had learned this from him.
Wang Tianxiong had spent years mingling among various powerful figures and was adept at reading people's expressions. Naturally, he did not miss Duan Liu's small gesture.
Seeing this scene unfold, he immediately understood that this burly man was treating him like a fool!
"I advise you one last time, do not cause trouble here. I have already been extremely patient with you." Wang Tianxiong's temper flared as he saw through the situation.
"Oh, who are you trying to scare? Just a mere lackey, and you dare to bark like this." Duan Liu, somewhat oblivious, did not consider the background of Flower Pavilion. Being too absolute in his actions was not always a good thing.
Ye Tian frowned slightly, feeling it was time to stop. They had already fought and vented their anger. If they continued to stir up trouble, they would lose their justification.
Once the support of reason was lost, he believed that Flower Pavilion had plenty of people who could deal with them.
Although he was not afraid, he truly could not guarantee that he could bring Duan Liu out unscathed. After all, only he was the Cloud Token. Given Flower Pavilion's background, it was likely connected to some extraordinary figure from Cloud Sea Sect; dealing with an ordinary disciple should not be a significant problem for them.
With this in mind, Ye Tian intended to call out to Duan Liu.
But at that moment, a middle-aged man who had been quietly sitting and drinking tea on the first floor stood up.
As soon as he got up, Ye Tian felt an unparalleled sense of pressure.
"This is bad; this person's strength seems to be above Martial Unity Definition. If I'm not careful, he may have already reached the level of a Martial Sovereign!"
After standing up, the man did not even glance at Ye Tian and walked directly towards Duan Liu.
"Kid, I'll give you a chance. Get out of here quickly; otherwise, this will be your fate." As he spoke, a shocking mark suddenly appeared on the blue stone floor beneath his feet.
