The man in green stared blankly at Yuwen Sheng, his eyes flickering.
What the other party said seemed reasonable.
If he didn't even tell them his name, the other party would likely assume he was just a grunt, making it difficult to intimidate them.
Ahem.
The man in green coughed lightly and said with arrogance, "Listen carefully, I am Han Que, the Captain of the Guards for Gale Tower."
Damn it, just a captain of the guards is like this. The people of Gale Tower are truly arrogant!
Yuwen Sheng muttered inwardly, his gaze shifted. He spoke, "Captain Han, what brings you to the Yin Group branch this time?"
"It's nothing major."
Han Que smiled slightly and continued looking at Yuwen Sheng, "My Gale Tower has set its sights on Jinling City, so I've come to inform you. From today onwards, Jinling City belongs to Gale Tower!"
Hmm?
At his words, Yuwen Sheng's mind was filled with a thousand questions.
Yi Feipeng was currently a guest at his residence, and from his demeanor, he didn't seem to have any designs on Jinling City.
How could a disciple from another sect immediately demand to take over Jinling City?
What was going on?
Yuwen Sheng was completely unaware of Ye Cangtian's purpose for this trip, so he couldn't figure out the situation at all.
However, his expression still turned cold because of this.
He looked at the other party and said, "Han Que, Jinling City is under the control of the Yin Group. With just your words, you claim Jinling City for your Gale Tower. Does this mean Gale Tower is declaring war on the Yin Group?"
"I didn't say war! But if the Yin Group wants to fight, Gale Tower will oblige!"
Han Que glanced at Yuwen Sheng, sneered playfully, and continued, "Of course, if the Yin Group doesn't want to fight, then I'll have to trouble you to lead your Yin Group grunts and withdraw from Jinling City, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Heh, a mere brat like you expecting me to hand over Jinling City with just a few words. Isn't this too childish!"
Yuwen Sheng's tone turned sharply colder. He had guarded Jinling City for decades without a single mistake.
This was also the first time he had encountered such a situation.
The other party's arrogance had truly ignited his anger.
At the same time, in a corner outside the guest hall, Ye Cangtian and Yi Feipeng were observing the conversation between Yuwen Sheng and Han Que, their expressions utterly fascinating.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and said, "It seems Gale Tower is going to make a move against the Yin Group!"
"With this old man here, they won't be able to."
Yi Feipeng looked at Ye Cangtian, then said calmly, "This old man will come out now to clarify everything and interrogate their mastermind."
"You cannot go out!" Ye Cangtian said indifferently.
Huh?
Yi Feipeng looked at Ye Cangtian in confusion, not yet understanding his meaning.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian said calmly, "If you go out, Wan Mingxuan will learn that you are still alive. At that time, he will undoubtedly try every means to prevent you from returning..."
Ye Cangtian's meaning was simple: if Yi Feipeng showed himself, Wan Mingxuan would definitely become extremely anxious.
After all, as long as Yi Feipeng returned to Gale Tower, he could directly expose Wan Mingxuan's conspiracy, and Wan Mingxuan would lose everything.
Therefore, if Wan Mingxuan truly knew that Yi Feipeng's return was unstoppable, he might even resort to desperate measures, causing severe consequences.
Don't forget, Wan Mingxuan was also in contact with the Five Poisons Sect, and some of their poisons could endanger Heaven-level experts...
Upon hearing this, Yi Feipeng's expression changed drastically. If Wan Mingxuan truly colluded with the Five Poisons Sect to poison, then Gale Tower might very well be annihilated.
Thinking about it, he looked at Ye Cangtian and asked, "Kid, then what do you plan to do?"
"You cannot appear, but I can. I will resolve everything."
Ye Cangtian paused, then his brows furrowed seriously, "However, I must state in advance, no matter what happens, you must endure and not show yourself!
Even if I eliminate these people from Gale Tower!"
"This..."
Yi Feipeng's heart tightened upon hearing this. This indicated that Ye Cangtian had murderous intent towards Han Que.
Han Que was, after all, from Gale Tower, and he truly couldn't bear to see him killed.
Thinking about it, Yi Feipeng said, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I hope you can spare their lives. I will give you an explanation afterward!"
Ye Cangtian nodded, "That depends on whether he is sensible. If he keeps provoking, then don't blame me."
Saying this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand and walked towards the guest hall.
...
Meanwhile, inside the guest hall.
Yuwen Sheng and Han Que had been stalemating for some time. Han Que's expression grew colder, and intense killing intent emanated from his eyes.
For so long, he had reasoned with them, but the other party refused to yield Jinling City, which filled him with boundless killing intent.
He couldn't understand why the patriarch of a mere family dared to repeatedly defy him.
Finally, Han Que could no longer tolerate it. He coldly said, "Yuwen Sheng, you have only two paths before you. One is to hand over Jinling City, and the other is that next year today will be your death anniversary!"
As he spoke, Han Que shook his hands, and a pair of dark green, chilling claws appeared on his hands.
"This..."
Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, cold sweat dripped from Yuwen Sheng's forehead.
His own life or death was a small matter, but a war between the two sides would be a major issue.
After all, the other party was backed by a peak power. If a war were to break out, it would definitely bring great losses to the Yin Group.
Therefore, he dared not make such a decision on his own.
But the problem was, he was in charge of the Yin Group's branch here, and he also couldn't hand over Jinling City.
"Believe it or not, as soon as you make a move, your claws will be severed from you?"
Just then, a cold voice sounded.
"Who!"
Han Que's gaze turned cold. He swept his eyes towards the entrance, and saw a man, with a chilling smile, slowly walk into the hall.
Ye Cangtian?
Upon seeing the other party's face clearly, Han Que's heart sank. Even if he was strong, he wouldn't dare to challenge a Heaven-level expert!
"So Lord Ye of the Yin Group has also arrived. Then this matter is easier to discuss. This old fellow cannot make the decisions, but I believe you can!"
Han Que said, bracing himself. No matter what, he represented Gale Tower, so he absolutely could not let Gale Tower's reputation be diminished.
"That's right, I have the authority to make all decisions for the Yin Group."
Ye Cangtian nodded, then changed the subject and continued, "But let's not talk about that for now. Let's first discuss whether you were planning to make a move here just now, right?"
This...
Han Que's face suddenly changed upon hearing this. It was clear that the other party was going to stand up for Yuwen Sheng.
Thinking of this, Han Que quickly said, "Yuwen Sheng, this old fellow is unappreciative. What's wrong with me teaching him a lesson!"
"Too much nonsense."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party and continued, "I'll give you two choices as well. One is to continue making a move, and the other is to kneel and admit your mistakes. You can choose now!"
"You..."
Han Que's face instantly turned red. If anyone else had said this to him, he would have already taken action to kill them.
But now, facing Ye Cangtian, he didn't dare to utter a word and had to consider the consequences.
Judging from the coldness in the other party's eyes,
If he chose the former, he was certain that the moment he made a move, he would be killed by the other party.
But if he chose the latter, he would lose face, as would Gale Tower.
If this matter were to spread back to Gale Tower, he would only face severe punishment.
Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and said angrily, "Ye Cangtian, don't go too far. I am from Gale Tower, and insulting me is equivalent to insulting Gale Tower. Have you thought this through?"
"You, of all people, are qualified to represent Gale Tower?"
"Even if you represent Gale Tower, so what? Let me tell you, even if your Tower Master were here today, you would have to choose one for me!"
Ye Cangtian looked at him dismissively and continued, "You'd better hurry up, my patience is very limited!"
"You!"
Han Que's face sank again. He then stood up and snorted coldly, "Ye Cangtian, for your sake today, I will let Yuwen Sheng off for now. We will settle this score later. Farewell!"
As he spoke, Han Que quickly approached the hall's entrance.
He didn't want to be humiliated by Ye Cangtian, so it was better to make a quick getaway.
However, before he could even step out of the hall, a spiritual energy hand grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and, with a slight flick, tossed him back in front of Ye Cangtian.
