Long ago, Long Yi finally spoke, "How dare you insult my lord? Aren't you afraid that Yulong Villa and the Hidden Group will go to war?"
"Long Yi, were my words not clear enough just now?"
"What right does a stray dog have to represent Yulong Villa?"
"Furthermore, what do you think the Hidden Group is? Would it be threatened by you?"
Ye Cangtian said coldly, looking at the other person with disdain.
"Hmph!"
Long Yi snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "Ye Cangtian, I'll give you one last piece of advice: you'd better be sensible. You should know that guarding the Four Seals is not something that can be done by a few Heaven-level powerhouses..."
Long Yi stated that the temptation of the Four Seals to all forces was far beyond imagination.
These forces would try to snatch them at all costs.
By then, even if the Hidden Group had three Heaven-level powerhouses, they would not be able to protect the Four Seals.
After all, as the saying goes, a multitude of ants can kill an elephant!
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked at the other person and sneered, "What you said is the business of the Hidden Group, and you are not qualified to inquire about it! Moreover, do you think the strength of a stray dog can compare to the Hidden Group?"
Uh...
As the voice came, Long Yi's flushed face was about to bleed, yet he couldn't come up with any rebuttal.
The other party's firm attitude made him impeccable.
Secondly, what the other party said was also true. Regardless of how it was said, Sikong Longyin had been expelled from the villa and had few followers.
Even if some forces had been subdued now, their overall strength was still far from that of the Hidden Group.
And the other party had seen through this, so no matter how he negotiated, he would ultimately find it difficult to deceive them out of the Four Seals.
Thinking of this, Long Yi stood up and said, "Ye Cangtian, I have delivered the message. I will give you one day to consider, otherwise, don't blame us for not valuing old ties..."
"One day is too long."
Ye Cangtian interrupted him directly and continued, "I will tell you now that the Four Seals will not be handed over to Sikong Longyin. If you have any tricks, just use them, and I will take them one by one!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's resolute expression, Long Yi snorted lightly, then cupped his hands and said, "In that case, Mr. Ye, take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Long Yi got up and left.
"Wait!"
Before he reached the door, Ye Cangtian's voice came from behind, and Long Yi immediately stopped.
He looked back at Ye Cangtian and raised an eyebrow, "What? Mr. Ye has changed his mind..."
Slap!
Before Long Yi could finish speaking, his vision flickered, and then his cheek suffered a heavy blow, causing him to fly sideways!
"You, you dare to hit me!"
Touching his slightly stinging and swollen cheek and looking at the bloody front teeth on the ground, Long Yi was furious.
Although the conversation between the two was not pleasant, he believed that he had not done anything excessive during this period.
Yet the other party directly attacked him, which was truly unacceptable to him!
Moreover, even if he didn't give him face, shouldn't he give Sikong Longyin face?
Even if he didn't give Sikong Longyin face, shouldn't he give Yulong Villa face?
"I'm hitting you!"
Ye Cangtian looked at him coldly and continued, "Firstly, you came under the banner of Yulong Villa to deceive us of the Four Seals."
He paused and continued, "Secondly, I am a Heaven-level powerhouse, yet you are disrespectful to me. This is a provocation to Heaven-level powerhouses!"
This...
This sentence left Long Yi speechless.
For these two explanations, he found it difficult to argue either way.
For the former, saying he came under the banner of Yulong Villa, it couldn't be said to be wrong, after all, both he and Sikong Longyin had been expelled from Yulong Villa.
At the same time, they came this time to trick them out of the Four Seals.
For the latter, he was disrespectful to Ye Cangtian with his words. If it were another Heaven-level powerhouse, he would have killed him long ago.
And the other party only slapped him, which was indeed too light a punishment.
Thinking of this, Long Yi knew that he could only suffer in silence.
The next moment, he cupped his hands to Ye Cangtian and said, "Mr. Ye, I will convey your words to my lord as they are. Goodbye!"
After speaking, Long Yi gritted his teeth and left the Hidden Group.
Seeing Long Yi leave, Dongfang Mingyue's gaze fell on Ye Cangtian, "Brat, you are clearly the master of Yulong Villa, why didn't you say so?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian looked at Dongfang Mingyue and smiled slightly, "Sikong Longyin has not yet appeared. If I reveal my identity now, I'm afraid he will be scared away..."
"Oh."
Dongfang Mingyue nodded in understanding. She thought that what the other party said made sense.
After all, Ye Cangtian was a Heaven-level powerhouse, while Sikong Longyin only had quasi-Heaven-level cultivation. The gap between them was huge, and their strength was not on the same level.
Therefore, if these things were truly said, Sikong Longyin might indeed be scared away.
It should be known that most people did not dare to challenge the authority of Heaven-level powerhouses.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mingyue looked up at him, "Brat, how do you plan to deal with this Sikong Longyin?"
"Since he is from Yulong Villa, a disciple of the old man, and he is devoted to Yulong Villa, I will try to guide them and lead them back to the right path!"
Speaking of this, Ye Cangtian's expression turned grim and he continued, "But if they are ungrateful, then it is not impossible to expel them from the sect, or..."
Ye Cangtian did not say the latter part, but Dongfang Mingyue understood.
However, Dongfang Mingyue did not say much. She believed that Ye Cangtian would handle everything with discretion.
...
A corner near Longcheng.
Long Yi stood in front of Sikong Longyin with his head down, full of guilt, and recounted his trip to the Hidden Group today.
"My lord, you must seek justice for me!"
"Ye Cangtian beat me without any reason. This is slapping your face!"
Listening to Long Yi's words and looking at his swollen cheek, Sikong Longyin's expression became extremely cold.
He knew that Ye Cangtian was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect Ye Cangtian to disregard his status and directly attack Long Yi.
Moreover, Long Yi was right; the other party was clearly humiliating him!
"Don't worry, your beating will not be in vain. I will seek an explanation for you!"
"What else did Ye Cangtian say?"
Listening to Sikong Longyin's words, Long Yi quickly thanked him, and then said, "By the way, Ye Cangtian seems to have a good relationship with Lei Ming, and he always contradicts you in his words, and he also said, he also said..."
Seeing Long Yi hesitating, Sikong Longyin's face instantly turned cold.
He had a premonition that Ye Cangtian would not say anything good.
But he was still curious and wanted to know what the other party had said.
So he glared and said, "Long Yi, tell me truthfully what Ye Cangtian said!"
Seeing Sikong Longyin's grim expression, Long Yi felt a surge of excitement. He hadn't dared to say it before, but he deliberately wanted to stir up Sikong Longyin's anger.
This way, Sikong Longyin would be more determined to stand up for him.
And now that the time was ripe, he quickly said, "Ye Cangtian called you a stray dog, and also said that the position of the master of Yulong Villa is reserved for capable people..."
"That's right, Ye Cangtian also said that a stray dog is not qualified to represent Yulong Villa..."
Long Yi added. He knew that although Sikong Longyin had been expelled from Yulong Villa by Lei Ming, his feelings for Yulong Villa were irreplaceable.
Therefore, he always regarded himself as a member of Yulong Villa.
Now that Ye Cangtian said he couldn't represent Yulong Villa, it was like a sharp knife piercing Sikong Longyin's heart, and Sikong Longyin would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
"Ye Cangtian, you are looking for death, you wait for me..."
Upon hearing Long Yi's words, Sikong Longyin let out a roar, his eyes filled with rage.
Seeing Sikong Longyin furious, Long Yi couldn't help but show a smug smile. His intended effect had been achieved.
Next, he would wait for Sikong Longyin to stand up for him.
