Ye Tianpan sat on a large stone and took out a few pills from the cloth bag at his waist. These pills were spiritual medicines that had the effect of replenishing energy. Although they could not resolve the emptiness of his Spirit Pouch, they could easily alleviate his current fatigue.
Clap, clap, clap...
Just as Ye Tianpan was resting, the sound of applause suddenly came from behind a large rock.
Ye Tian focused his gaze and saw three figures slowly walking out: one was burly, another was quite handsome, and the last had an elegant demeanor. The one clapping was the elegant man.
"It’s you guys?" Ye Tian said in surprise. The three were Wang Tiankuang, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, and Windwalker Fan Fenglin.
"Good skills! Young Master Ye truly deserves the title of the first in Spirit Martial Town!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with a faint smile as he slowly approached Ye Tian.
Thanks to the effects of the medicine, Ye Tian had recovered about sixty percent of his strength. If anything happened later, he felt he had a fifty percent chance of escaping safely.
"Young Master Ye, I didn’t expect you to be so hidden!" After Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti spoke, Wang Tiankuang continued, his tone filled with astonishment. Reflecting on Ye Tian's deliberate restraint along the way made him feel somewhat ashamed. They had just witnessed Ye Tian unleash the Bagua Thunder Seal to defeat Earthshatter Tai Sui.
"With such power, even if my eyesight were perfect, I doubt I could gain any advantage against him," Wang Tiankuang thought to himself, finally realizing how terrifying Ye Tian was. He not only had strength but also understood restraint, which was enough to surpass himself.
"Are you three here to challenge me?" Ye Tian responded coldly. The appearance of the three suggested they were not here with good intentions.
"Young Master Ye has misunderstood," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with a smile as he stepped closer to Ye Tian.
"Heh," Ye Tian scoffed and did not respond.
"During our standoff yesterday, Sky Mad Second Master intended to assist you, but due to the sudden changes in the world, we were unable to help much. I hope Young Master Ye can understand," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti explained on behalf of Wang Tiankuang.
"That's right, that's right! The reason I went ahead was to secretly contact Brother Xu and Brother Fan to coordinate our efforts," said Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti, speaking on his own behalf. Wang Tiankuang quickly distanced himself from the Black Wind Stronghold in relation to Windwalker Fan Fenglin's son.
Ye Tian furrowed his brows slightly, puzzled. "What are they playing at? With the combined strength of the three of them, while they may not be able to kill me, defeating me should be a piece of cake. Why act so subservient?"
"You need not doubt, Young Master Ye. We have no intention of harming you," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti noticed Ye Tian's thoughts and cupped his hands in greeting. He continued, "With our combined strength, if we wanted to harm you, you would have been dead long ago. Why would we speak to you so kindly?"
"Where does your confidence come from?" Ye Tian replied coldly. Although what Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said was almost the truth, Ye Tian still did not want to lose face.
"Hehe, Young Master Ye may be underestimating us," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with a calm smile as he looked at Ye Tian. "I know you rely on Yuqi Tayan Jue and think we cannot harm you. However, my Fourth Brother is also well-versed in Skyward Martial Arts. If I and Sky Mad Second Master suppress you while Fourth Brother flanks you, do you think you can escape unscathed?"
Ye Tian glanced at Windwalker Young Master, who was standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly avoiding eye contact and not willing to meet his gaze.
"There's only one way to find out," Ye Tian said as he withdrew his gaze; he did not want to show any weakness in front of the three.
"Sigh..." Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti shook his head and then looked at Windwalker Young Master.
He understood that Ye Tian was half-convinced, so he intentionally wanted Windwalker Young Master to demonstrate his skills.
Windwalker Young Master understood the cue, lightly leaped and landed beside Ye Tian. He then smiled faintly before jumping into the abyss before them.
Ye Tian frowned; anyone daring enough to act like that must undoubtedly possess Skyward Martial Arts.
"This..." Wang Tiankuang hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti with suspicion. Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti smiled gently and shook his head, indicating that there was no need for alarm.
Moments later, a White Shadow floated out from the abyss. The white-clad figure was completely free of dust and appeared relaxed, showing no signs of panic whatsoever.
"Haha, compared to Young Master Ye, I am lacking and have embarrassed myself," Windwalker Young Master said as he landed on the ground, humbly addressing Ye Tian.
"Thank you!" Ye Tian replied without hesitation. He understood that the three were trying to intimidate him with their words and display of strength because they did not want to engage in a fight. If they were unwilling to fight, it meant they had something to gain, and with that came a price. Their intimidation was likely because they did not want to pay that price. Therefore, if his momentum was weaker than theirs, it seemed he would not have to pay that so-called price.
"Haha, why must Young Master Ye reject us from miles away? We have come for an important matter to discuss, not to create enmity," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti said with his usual calm demeanor.
"What is it? Speak quickly; I have matters to attend to and no time to waste," Ye Tian replied coldly, not even looking at him. Although this was somewhat impolite, it was a necessary action.
"What is Young Master Ye in such a hurry about? Are you worried about those brothers being harmed by Hu Lue?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti asked insightfully.
"I've said it before; stop with the nonsense. What do you want?" Ye Tian said impatiently. He was indeed worried about Fifth Brother and the others' safety. The sooner he returned, the less danger they would face; the longer he delayed, the more likely someone could lose their life.
"What we seek is precisely what you are concerned about," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti teased without directly answering.
"Are you planning to kill Hu Lue?" Ye Tian asked without hesitation. Since Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti had already seen through his worries, there was no point in pretending any longer. It surprised him that the three were also considering Hu Lue.
Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti nodded but did not respond further.
"Of course! We have come here precisely to eliminate bandits!" Wang Tiankuang stepped forward and declared earnestly.
"Haha, Sky Mad Second Master, what a noble cause of eliminating bandits! But I wonder what you were doing while I was fighting?" Ye Tian sneered dismissively.
"Uh... well..." Wang Tiankuang felt awkward upon hearing this. He had indeed not contributed to the bandit elimination effort; in fact, if things had gone smoothly, he should have been discussing plans with Hu Lue to kill Ye Tian.
"In fact, Sky Mad Second Master has endured humiliation and contributed far more value than Young Master Ye," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti spoke again.
"Oh? Is Cower the contribution? Then it seems you have made a significant contribution to Black Wind Stronghold as well!" Ye Tian coldly glanced at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti and provocatively said, "You are a traitor, even more despicable than Cower, your contributions are quite substantial!"
"Hehe, Young Master Ye, there's no need to engage in a war of words. The reason I say this is because I have my reasons," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti did not get angry at Ye Tian's sarcasm; on the contrary, his smile became even gentler.
This expression made Ye Tian extremely disgusted. Once upon a time, Wu Xiaozhuang had deceived his friendship with such superficial charm.
"Just think about it, Black Wind Stronghold is known for the Five Great Warriors. Right now, you have eliminated two of them, but there are still three left. Who are they?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti asked with a smile.
"Heh." Ye Tian disdainfully refused to answer.
"Boss Hu Lue, Second-in-Command here, and Fourth Seat Windwalker Young Master. But where are the other two among these three?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti mused aloud and continued to ask.
"Stop talking nonsense. What are your intentions?" Ye Tian could no longer tolerate it and even began to suspect whether they were sent by Hu Lue to delay time.
"Young Master Ye, do not be angry. The reason I say Sky Mad Second Master has made a great contribution is that he not only removed the obstacles posed by my Windwalker Fan Fenglin but also integrated into your anti-bandit forces. Isn't that a contribution?" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti answered his own question with eloquence.
Ye Tian finally lost his patience and stood up to leave.
"Young Master Ye, Hu Lue is just five miles away. I believe he will reach your camp in less than half an hour. What will you use to defend against him?" Seeing Ye Tian leave, Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti did not stop him but instead called out loudly.
"You don't need to worry about that!" Ye Tian did not look back and continued on his way.
"What you want to ask is how you can protect your brothers!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian's pace noticeably halted because he indeed lacked the ability to protect his Brothers completely.
"Do you want yesterday's scene to repeat itself? Have you forgotten how Black Maitreya slaughtered people in the crowd?!" Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti's tone finally turned severe, hitting the nail on the head regarding Ye Tian's inner turmoil.
"Ha..." Taking a deep breath, Ye Tian slowly turned around and said, "I can help you kill Hu Lue, but you have to agree to one condition."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiankuang first glanced at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti with admiration in his eyes, impressed that he had actually managed to get through to Ye Tian. Then he turned to Ye Tian, disdainfully thinking, "You still want to set conditions? Who do you think you are?"
"Young Master Ye, please go ahead," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti gestured for him to continue.
"You just want me to charge into battle, but when I confront Hu Lue, you must ensure the safety of my brothers," Ye Tian said, looking at Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti to verify if his words were correct.
"Very well, Young Master Ye can rest assured about this," Jingfeng Lei Kuan Ti readily agreed. He had originally intended to use this as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Ye Tian, but he was pleasantly surprised that Ye Tian brought it up himself, saving him a lot of trouble.
"Alright, let's go back first," Ye Tian nodded and took the lead in leaving.
The three of them exchanged glances filled with joy upon confirming their plans and followed after him.
"Divine Dragon, oh Divine Dragon..." Wang Tiankuang's face was excited as he secretly murmured in his heart.
Yesterday, the three of them had overheard Earthshatter Tai Sui mention this matter and decided they would go investigate. However, to obtain specific information, they needed Hu Lue to speak up. That was why they thought of using Ye Tian to wear down Hu Lue, and then the three of them would step in to subdue him. At that point, with threats and inducements, how could Hu Lue refuse to divulge the details?
Of course, there was also the fact that although it wouldn't be difficult for the three of them to kill Hu Lue given their strength, subduing him would be another matter entirely. Moreover, if Hu Lue fought back at the moment of death, who would bear the consequences? But with Ye Tian as the vanguard, that problem no longer existed. In his great hatred, Hu Lue would undoubtedly choose to kill Ye Tian first.
