"What's wrong? If you can't make a deal, are you going to resort to robbery?" Ye Tian scoffed as he glanced at her. Once he figured out her identity, if she was a remnant of Arhat Hall, Ye Tian wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her.
Although he was in a hurry, if he let her be, news of Ye Tian's actions might leak out.
"Hehe, you're quite the joker. But seeing how young you are, I wonder how you got involved with Star Hall." The middle-aged woman looked disdainful. In her eyes, this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was likely seeking a job with Star Hall. After all, the Lin family was thriving in Southern Wilderness Town, and Star Hall was the largest branch west of Southern Wilderness Town, far from the main hall in the south. Getting a job here would be quite impressive and beneficial.
"Hehe, my connection with Star Hall..." Ye Tian silently sneered. If there was any relationship between him and Star Hall, it was saving them from imminent collapse.
"What are you laughing at? If you want to work for Star Hall, I advise you to give up on that thought; you won't get past me," the middle-aged woman scoffed, crossing her arms and glaring at Ye Tian.
Hearing this, Ye Tian frowned and asked, "Are you saying you're from Star Hall?"
"What else would I be?" The middle-aged woman replied smugly.
"Take me to Star Hall immediately!"
"Who do you think you are?" The middle-aged woman remained unfazed and even began inspecting her nails.
Ye Tian's expression darkened; people like her who lacked awareness truly deserved a lesson. However, considering she was a woman, he decided not to press too hard.
Still, while he could overlook some things, it was necessary to exert a certain level of pressure; otherwise, she wouldn't take Ye Tian seriously. If she didn't take him seriously, she wouldn't lead him there, and the consequence of that could very well be the downfall of Star Hall.
With that thought in mind, Ye Tian stopped talking and swiftly struck out his hand, fingers clawing toward the middle-aged woman's wrist.
Though the middle-aged woman had an inflated sense of self-worth, her position as a key figure in Star Hall's intelligence network indicated she had some real skills; at the very least, her Martial Sovereign level had reached Late Stage of Fourth Rank Martial Master.
What did Late Stage of Fourth Rank Martial Master mean? In the west of Southern Wilderness Town, it was already among the top tier.
However, to Ye Tian, Late Stage of Fourth Rank Martial Master was practically nothing. He activated Jujutsu; his arm surged with power. Although she reacted somewhat, it wasn't fast enough—before she could even move her Footsteps, Ye Tian had already captured her.
Then, Ye Tian's figure flickered, and by the time he landed, he had already brought the middle-aged woman to a distance of several dozen feet away.
"This..." The middle-aged woman was stunned, realizing that this young man could easily capture her. If he wanted to attack, she would have no chance to resist and would surely die...
"Who are you..."
"I don't have time to explain. Quickly tell me the location of Star Hall." Ye Tian released her wrist; after all, in front of him, she had no chance to escape and wouldn't dare to.
The middle-aged woman’s eyes rolled as she quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.
The young man was so powerful that he was definitely not an ordinary person. His urgent search for Star Hall early in the morning must be due to some hidden secret. Most importantly, the Abbot of the Arhat Hall had recently been frequently appearing west of Southern Wilderness Town, likely planning to take action against Star Hall. And this young man appeared at such a critical moment.
Could it be...
"Ah!" The middle-aged woman couldn't help but exclaim, startling Ye Tian.
Ye Tian frowned at her and said with a complex expression, "Have you lost your mind?"
The middle-aged woman had no answer; she just stared intently at Ye Tian, her expression shifting unpredictably as if she were battling internally.
"Hurry up! If you delay, it will be too late!" Ye Tian urged anxiously.
Suddenly, the expression on the middle-aged woman's face solidified into one of righteous indignation. She withdrew two steps and sneered, "Hmph! You want me to betray Star Hall? No way!"
"What does that even mean?" Ye Tian was speechless. At this point, he understood that she was an informant for Star Hall. The recent turmoil caused by the Abbot of the Arhat Hall had made her extremely vigilant; now she regarded him as an ally of the Abbot.
Ye Tian sighed, realizing that haste makes waste. Initially, he hadn't clarified his identity to save time, but now it complicated things. However, it was no wonder this middle-aged woman became the leader of Star Hall's informants; such an important position required her loyalty.
"My name is Ye Tian. Have you heard of me?" Ye Tian thought that he had caused quite a stir in Southern Wilderness Town recently; as someone from Southern Wilderness Town and a martial cultivator, she should have heard of him.
"Ye Tian..." The middle-aged woman remained vigilant, showing no signs of relaxation, but she clearly had some impression of this name.
"That's the Ye Tian who caused a ruckus at the Heroes' Gathering recently and injured Lu Ba," Ye Tian reminded her.
At this moment, the sky was gradually brightening, and more pedestrians began to appear on the street. The two were positioned in the center of the road, and curious onlookers had already gathered around to watch.
"Hey... why is this young man so bold as to lay hands on Flower San Niang?"
"Look at Flower San Niang's stance; it seems this kid really got lucky. He's definitely going to get a beating today."
"It's strange; isn't Flower San Niang usually fond of older men?"
The crowd chattered among themselves, all believing that Ye Tian, being so young, was misbehaving and taking advantage of Flower San Niang, which led to this standoff.
Since there weren't many people watching, it wasn't too noisy. Although they were speaking softly, their words were still audible to Ye Tian.
Moreover, with Flower San Niang looking righteous and ready to strike while he remained unmoved, it indeed resembled the traits of a small-time thug in the eyes of those ignorant onlookers.
"I am Cloud Sea Sect's Ye Tian. Think carefully," Ye Tian said. Despite his youth and having experienced many things, he felt his face flush slightly at being misunderstood in such a violent context.
"Hey... still claiming to be from Cloud Sea Sect. This little thug has quite the attitude."
"Yeah, right? Who would believe him about Cloud Sea Sect..."
"He looks like an outsider trying to act tough here. He's in for it now; Flower San Niang has some skills."
The crowd continued their banter, leaving Ye Tian feeling overwhelmed while Flower San Niang enjoyed the situation. After all, if she could hold up Ye Tian for a while and he turned out to be a helper from Arhat Hall, she would gain credit for it.
"Everyone listen to me! The Star Hall is in trouble, and I have come to help!" As Ye Tian spoke, a glimmer of light flashed from his finger, revealing a cloud-shaped jade pendant in his hand.
"This is the Cloud Sea Sect Cloud Token!" Ye Tian spread his palm, allowing everyone to take a look.
"Rich people..."
"It seems he’s not just a petty rogue; he must be the Eldest Son of some family out looking for fun..."
"What a heavy taste; instead of finding a young girl, he’s looking for Flower San Niang..."
Hearing these words, Ye Tian felt like his head was about to explode from the ignorance of these people.
At this moment, he couldn't care less about their comments. He stepped forward again to seize Flower San Niang. Since reasoning didn't work, he had to resort to force.
"Using force, using force..."
"In broad daylight, do you have no humanity left!"
"Let go of Flower San Niang, or we will report you to Star Hall. You’ll be doomed then!"
What Ye Tian didn’t expect was that this group of ignorant people actually had a sense of justice. They thought Ye Tian was trying to abduct Flower San Niang in public and began to threaten him.
"Alright, go report to Star Hall. I'll go with you," Ye Tian said, thinking that although these ordinary people were slow, it was still better than wasting time here.
"What a big mouth..."
"When we get to Star Hall, don’t act like a coward!"
"Pah! Outsider, you really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth. In our Southern Wilderness Town, the Lin family is the biggest, and we won’t let you run wild!"
The crowd was agitated, and Ye Tian once again drew their ire. However, he couldn’t care about that anymore. He directly grabbed Flower San Niang and then randomly seized another person, saying, "You lead the way!"
The guy was initially speaking happily, but suddenly felt a powerful force surge and found himself inexplicably in front of Ye Tian, instantly shocked and sweating profusely. He opened his mouth full of yellow teeth but was too astonished to make a sound.
"Ye... Tian, is it really you... Ye Tian..." Flower San Niang finally came to her senses. After all, she had some knowledge and had once heard someone mention Cloud Token by chance. Moreover, she finally remembered the name Ye Tian.
"Enough nonsense, there's no time to waste, take me to Star Hall!" Ye Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and released the Onlooker he had just grabbed.
The latter quickly retreated back to the crowd as if granted amnesty. The others, seeing Flower San Niang's shocked expression, looked at Ye Tian with newfound respect and confusion.
"What direction?" Ye Tian asked.
"West... west," Flower San Niang replied, still somewhat dazed. She had completely recalled Ye Tian's reputation; not only was he at odds with the Lin family and Arhat Hall over treasures, but he was also a significant figure from Cloud Sea Sect who could potentially become a member of Cloud Sea Sect in the future.
Such individuals were usually the subjects of admiration and conversation among people, and she never expected to encounter one in person today, especially so close and holding her wrist.
Even though Flower San Niang was already in her thirties, she felt a rush of youthful emotions, as if she were experiencing the stirrings of first love again, her heart racing and emotions surging...
"Is it straight west?" Ye Tian frowned and asked. He didn't want to make another mistake; otherwise, Star Hall would be lost.
"I'll take you there!" After her initial shock, Flower San Niang became excited, grabbing Ye Tian's hand and sprinting westward.
Skyward Martial Arts was like a miraculous method for ordinary people that made distances seem negligible. The two figures flashed away, leaving only gasps of astonishment on the street.
