"Are you really Ye Tian?!" Zhao Hongtian quickly steadied himself and retreated ten paces.
The shock on his face and the frustration in his tone were intense; he knew he was in serious trouble today.
"What do you think?" Ye Tian stopped his Footsteps. Since the other party dared to take action against him, this matter could not be easily resolved. Moreover, this guy was a disciple of the Cloud-Drifting Pavilion and also part of the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters faction.
Not dealing with him would be a sign of Ye Tian's laziness, but handling him would be a simple task.
"You are, you are." Zhao Hongtian nodded vigorously. The other party's aura was too intimidating; even if he wasn't Ye Tian, he was definitely not someone he could provoke. Admitting fault was the right approach.
"Do you know how the rules state one should be punished for attempting to harm a direct disciple?" Ye Tian seemed to be speaking to himself, then glanced at the nearby Newly Accepted Disciple who were watching the excitement before finally fixing his gaze back on Zhao Hongtian.
Every Newly Accepted Disciple had to undergo a period of instruction during which their main task was to familiarize themselves with the rules and various taboos until they could recite them perfectly.
Thus, they were naturally very clear about the crime of attempting to harm a direct disciple; this was an undeniable serious offense, punishable by death!
"Punishable by death..." Zhao Hongtian trembled as he uttered those two words under Ye Tian's scrutiny, unable to control himself.
"You know that?" Ye Tian asked with a cold smile.
"Brother Ye, I was just joking with you..." Zhao Hongtian forced a smile, his lips twitching.
"Are we that familiar?"
"I'm not familiar..." Zhao Hongtian was almost overwhelmed by Ye Tian's increasingly cold voice. Although he had no intention of harming Ye Tian, he believed that if the situation escalated, as a holder of Cloud Token, Ye Tian would have plenty of ways to frame him for this crime, and the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters would definitely not intervene. After all, he had indeed made a move against Ye Tian.
"Since you’re not familiar, why did you suddenly attack me? Moreover, based on the force you just used, if I hadn't dodged, my shoulder would have likely been shattered," Ye Tian pressed forward.
Zhao Hongtian kept retreating, shaking his head vigorously while desperately waving his hands, repeatedly saying, "No, no, I really didn't use much strength..."
Hearing this, Ye Tian sneered again. "Didn’t use much strength? Are you implying that it’s possible to shatter my shoulder without using strength? You think so little of me; it seems that your identity as a Cloud Token holder is nothing but empty."
"I really didn't mean that..." At this moment, Zhao Hongtian was completely dazed by Ye Tian's intimidation and had no idea how to explain himself. He could only hope that Ye Tian would show mercy and not make things difficult for an ordinary disciple like him.
"Then what do you mean?"
"Brother Ye, please spare me..." Zhao Hongtian's voice trembled with a hint of tears. He was known for his bad temper, but he knew when to choose his battles. Faced with someone like Ye Tian, he could only be humble.
"You want to harm me but still expect me to spare you?" Ye Tian had now reached Zhao Hongtian and slowly extended his hand towards his shoulder.
Bang!
A dull sound echoed as Zhao Hongtian's shoulder felt as if it had exploded. However, it wasn't his bones that shattered; rather, the Martial Origin Power defense layer covering his body was crushed by Ye Tian.
"Heh heh, still trying to resist?" At this moment, the defense layer had been easily broken by Ye Tian, and his palm pressed directly onto Zhao Hongtian's shoulder.
With just a little more force, Zhao Hongtian's shoulder would be reduced to dust. And having his shoulder disabled meant what? It was almost equivalent to losing an entire arm and could potentially affect his overall physical strength—this would be a serious injury.
Zhao Hongtian was so frightened that he fell directly to the ground, cold sweat pouring down from his forehead as his breathing became unusually rapid.
"Without the right tools, don't take on delicate tasks. If you want to act recklessly like others, you either need a background or strength. You have neither, so it's better for you to restrain yourself in the future." Ye Tian coldly looked down at Zhao Hongtian. He naturally had no interest or need to deal with such a minor character.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and stay away from the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters." The heavy stone that had been hanging over Zhao Hongtian's heart finally fell, and he immediately began to express his intentions.
Ye Tian ignored him further. Zhao Hongtian's so-called turning over a new leaf likely meant aligning himself with Ye Tian. However, he was not the kind of person who needed lackeys like the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters.
He only needed true brothers, but Zhao Hongtian clearly did not qualify.
"Let's go," Ye Tian said to Yun'er beside him, and then the two were about to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongtian's trembling heart finally settled down. He thought to himself how lucky he was to have offended such a person; today had been disastrous. He planned to go down the mountain tonight and find a girl to calm himself.
"By the way."
Just as Zhao Hongtian was about to get up from the ground, Ye Tian suddenly walked back.
"What... what is it?" Zhao Hongtian didn't dare to stand up, feeling safer sitting on the ground.
"Help me with something," Ye Tian said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongtian immediately perked up. The fact that Ye Tian wanted his help indicated an opportunity to remedy his mistake. If Ye Tian simply walked away, he would indeed have to live in fear of being targeted again someday.
"Brother Ye, please speak. I will do my utmost within my capabilities," Zhao Hongtian immediately patted his chest and boasted, though sitting on the ground made him look quite ridiculous.
"It's not that serious; I just need you to relay a message."
"Who are you delivering the message to?" Zhao Hongtian felt a sense of unease. The only people he knew who could talk to Ye Tian were either Thunderstorm or the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters.
If it was Thunderstorm, that would be somewhat manageable. Although that guy was arrogant, he generally posed no real danger.
However, if the message was for the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, that would definitely be a risky business. Delivering Ye Tian's words to them could easily lead to misunderstandings. Once misunderstood, he would be on the verge of being kicked out.
"The Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters," Ye Tian replied calmly.
"This..."
"What? Is it difficult or are you unwilling?" Ye Tian raised an eyebrow, his expression darkening.
"No, no." Zhao Hongtian waved his hands repeatedly; at this point, he could only agree to it.
"Alright then, go back and tell the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters that Luo Shanshan has been settled in Divine Wood County. From now on, she is no longer a disciple of Cloud Sea Sect, just an ordinary woman. I hope there will be no further involvement with her."
"Is that all?" Zhao Hongtian sighed in relief again; he thought Ye Tian would have some harsh words to say.
"Also, tell him that I know it won't be difficult for him to find someone in Divine Wood County with his capabilities. But if he dares to touch even a hair on Luo Shanshan, our feud will never end." Ye Tian added with a firm glint in his eyes.
"I will definitely convey that." Zhao Hongtian nodded repeatedly, but inwardly he cursed: "I thought you were a good person, Ye Tian. I didn't expect you to be such a playboy, keeping such a beautiful woman by your side while also having someone else on the side."
After all, Luo Shanshan had followed Bai Kuo for some time and thus belonged to the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters' camp, relatively close to the core. Zhao Hongtian had naturally seen her and found her stunningly beautiful and seductive; she must be a rare treasure in bed.
"Is this how the outstanding figures behave? To threaten the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters over a woman is quite ruthless," Zhao Hongtian thought as he looked at Ye Tian, secretly clicking his tongue in admiration.
"Do you remember?" Ye Tian frowned as he looked at Zhao Hongtian, who was staring at him with a foolish expression, seemingly lost in thought.
"I remember," Zhao Hongtian snapped back to reality and nodded vigorously.
"When can it be delivered?" Ye Tian asked.
"Brother Ye, you know that the Mountain Gate has a long waiting period; it will probably take at least seven days," Zhao Hongtian said timidly, feeling uneasy. He thought to himself that waiting seven days just to deliver a message was quite unreasonable.
However, to his surprise, Ye Tian merely nodded and then left with the stunningly beautiful woman.
Watching Ye Tian gradually disappear at the end of the mountain path, Zhao Hongtian finally felt relieved, having escaped a disaster; the feeling was simply wonderful.
…………
On the mountain path, a gentle breeze blew, lifting the soft strands of hair by Yun'er's temples. She opened her mouth to speak but hesitated.
Ye Tian smiled slightly and asked, "You want to know why I had him send a message to the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters, right?"
Yun'er nodded, but what bothered her most was Ye Tian's remark about not dying or parting, which stirred a hint of jealousy within her.
"Qiu Ziming has long wanted to get his hands on Luo Shanshan, but he hasn't acted yet because he still needs to use Bai Kuo. I deliberately spread the word that Luo Shanshan is in Divine Wood County; he will definitely seize the opportunity to go there personally for his dirty deeds. Do you understand what I mean?" Ye Tian intentionally left his sentence unfinished.
"You plan to ambush him and deal with him?" Yun'er finally understood why Ye Tian made that remark about not dying or parting; it was merely a provocation.
Ye Tian had previously made the Qiu Family's Twin Young Masters lose face, while they were always trying to eliminate Ye Tian. The animosity between them ran deep. Using provocation to dispel Qiu Ziming's suspicions was indeed the perfect strategy.
"If conditions permit, I would like to..." Ye Tian's words trailed off, but this time he made a gesture.
He glinted with cold light in his eyes and drew two fingers across his neck.
Yun'er showed no surprise at this; she simply nodded. Neither she nor Ye Tian were naive individuals. The other party had already sent assassins twice, and it was time for them to strike back fiercely.
Even if the opponent was the son of a Master of the Pavilion.
Moreover, what appeared to outsiders as a paradise like the Cloud Sea Sect was fraught with undercurrents that were unimaginable to ordinary people. Here, the higher one climbed, the more dangerous it became. Many times, many matters could only be settled with blood.
"But Luo Shanshan is already in Southern Wilderness Town. Are we really going to pull her back into this vortex?" Yun'er pondered for a moment before asking.
"Of course not. You can be quite clever when you want to be, but when you're foolish, it's truly unbearable," Ye Tian said with a smile as he leaned close to Yun'er's ear and revealed the strategy he had already devised.
To the readers:
I would like to correct something here. The Extreme Martial Arts used by Cloudscar was called "Thousand Clouds," while Phantom Cloud is the defensive martial art taught to Ye Tian by Xuanyuan Changfeng. I accidentally wrote it incorrectly.
