You...
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, the middle-aged man felt an urge to vomit blood.
His backing was a majestic peak force, and he was no minor figure. Did they lack better elixirs?
This was clearly looking down on him!
Not only him, but even the Misty Rain Tower behind him was being scorned.
With this thought, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, took out a small porcelain bottle from his Qiankun bag, and tossed it to the Yin Group guard.
"Ye Cangtian, listen to me, I am not some small fry!"
"Taking out this elixir is not out of fear of you. I just want to prove that this elixir is as common as cabbage and radishes to the Misty Rain Tower, found everywhere!"
"Consider it a reward for you beggars!"
Listening to the middle-aged man's angry voice, Ye Cangtian shrugged, glanced at the inscription on the small porcelain bottle, saw it read 'Nine Heavens Life Continuation Pill', and then looked back at the man.
"Thank you Misty Rain Tower for your generous contribution. If you're in a bad mood in the future, feel free to vent your anger on us Yin Group guards."
"But the prerequisite is to prepare such an elixir. I believe our Yin Group guards would be very happy to serve you!"
Looking at Ye Cangtian's playful smile, the middle-aged man was almost furious.
He wanted to vent, but he couldn't afford such a price. What he said earlier was just to maintain appearances.
The next moment, he let out a cold snort and returned to his carriage, driving away.
Watching the other party leave, the guard quickly stepped forward and respectfully handed the elixir in his hand to Ye Cangtian.
In his opinion, the elixir was forced out by Ye Cangtian, so its ownership naturally belonged to Ye Cangtian.
Moreover, Ye Cangtian had avenged him, so in all fairness, he couldn't take the elixir.
"Take it. You contribute to the Yin Group, and these are what you deserve."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the guard and said faintly.
The guard wanted to say something more, but Ye Cangtian left him with a word to recover well and turned away from the Yin Group's gate.
Thank you, Lord Ye!
Looking at Ye Cangtian's departing back, the guard at the gate's eyes flickered, filled with gratitude.
With these elixirs, he not only had a chance to break through in the Yin Group but also gained another life-saving method.
He remembered this kindness in his heart and would repay it with his life if the need arose!
...
Qingfeng Hall.
As soon as Ye Cangtian entered Qingfeng Hall, before he could even have a cup of tea, Lan Yue stormed in angrily.
Seeing Lan Yue's expression, Ye Cangtian remembered something. When they parted earlier, Lan Yue had specifically warned him not to cause trouble.
Now that she had come, she must be here to settle scores with him.
"Sister, you're here. I have a feeling of breakthrough, so I'll go back to cultivate first."
As Ye Cangtian spoke, he turned towards his chambers.
"You stop right there!"
Lan Yue's voice came from behind him. In an instant, Lan Yue blocked Ye Cangtian's path.
"Junior Brother, do you think your sister is not worthy of being by your side, nor worthy of managing the Yin Group?"
"No problem, as long as you say the word, I'll leave immediately and won't cause you any trouble!"
Uh...
Hearing Lan Yue's angry voice, Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback and quickly said, "Sister, what are you saying? How could I possibly think that!"
"You might not have thought it, but that's what you've done!"
Lan Yue glared fiercely at Ye Cangtian and continued, "You knew that person was from the Misty Rain Tower, yet you severely injured him. Are you trying to provoke a war between the two sides?
I'm asking you, if anything happens to the Yin Group while I'm in charge, how can I explain it to Dongfang Mingyue!"
In her opinion, although the Yin Group's strength had greatly improved, it was still inferior to the Misty Rain Tower. If a war broke out, the Yin Group might not gain any advantage.
More importantly, Ye Cangtian had already made an enemy of the Flying Cloud Tower.
If two peak forces attacked the Yin Group simultaneously, even if the Yin Group survived this ordeal, its strength would be greatly depleted.
By then, when Dongfang Mingyue returned, she would have no explanation.
"Don't get agitated, Sister. I told you I know what I'm doing."
Ye Cangtian smiled and continued, "In fact, this middle-aged man is just a minor figure. The real important person should still be in the carriage."
Ye Cangtian's perceptive abilities were no joke.
He was so close to the carriage that detecting the aura inside was not a problem at all.
It was for this reason that he had dealt such a heavy blow.
Firstly, the middle-aged man dared to be so presumptuous, which was definitely tacitly approved by the person in the carriage. By teaching the middle-aged man a lesson, he was retaliating against the person in the carriage.
Secondly, while showing his attitude, he wanted to tell the other party that the Yin Group was not to be trifled with.
And the other party's arrival at the Yin Group must be for a reason.
Whether the other party wanted to seize the Four Seals or had other intentions, showing a tougher stance would always be beneficial.
"What? You said there was someone else in the carriage?"
"Impossible, right? If it were as you say, why didn't he get out of the carriage after you taught his subordinate a lesson?"
On the other hand, Lan Yue found Ye Cangtian's statement hard to believe.
This was somewhat unscientific. Who would just watch their own people being bullied without intervening?
"I'm not sure about the specific situation."
Ye Cangtian slowly shook his head and said, "Perhaps the other party was just testing our attitude!"
Hearing this, Lan Yue fell silent for a moment and asked, "What do we do now? Do you need me to mobilize people to investigate them?"
"No need!"
Ye Cangtian shook his head and said, "This is Dragon City. It's not that simple for the other party to cause any trouble!"
After a pause, Ye Cangtian continued, "The other party hasn't stated their purpose for coming, so they will definitely come again later. We just have to wait."
Lan Yue nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. But consider it my plea, don't make too many enemies!"
Heh heh.
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said wickedly, "If the situation isn't a bit chaotic, how can your abilities be showcased?"
He said this verbally, but in his heart, Ye Cangtian felt a bit bitter. Some things were beyond his control.
Take today's incident for example. If the Misty Rain Tower was truly friendly, they would definitely instruct their disciples to mind their words and actions when they came.
But the middle-aged man who came here directly attacked the guards.
From this point alone, it was likely that the Misty Rain Tower was also an unwelcome guest.
You...
With one sentence, Lan Yue's face turned red with anger. She snorted and said, "I'm not kidding with you!"
Saying that, she left Qingfeng Hall without looking back.
Similarly, although she expressed her displeasure verbally, she also knew that Ye Cangtian's actions were made with consideration.
...
In another corner of Dragon City, in a luxurious private room of an inn.
The middle-aged man had just taken an elixir, and the swelling on his face and the burning sensation in his body were rapidly disappearing.
Although his injuries were recovering quickly, the anger in his heart lingered.
After an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man looked at the old man sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed.
"Master, Ye Cangtian was so arrogant and insulted the Misty Rain Tower. Why did you just stand by and watch? Why didn't you teach him a lesson!"
Perhaps due to his anger, the middle-aged man's tone carried a hint of questioning.
He really couldn't understand why his master would just watch when his disciple was being bullied to such an extent.
As the voice fell, the old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze instantly piercing.
Feeling the old man's gaze, the middle-aged man shivered and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Master. Disciple was too hasty. Please forgive me, Master..."
Seeing the middle-aged man lower his head, the old man's gaze softened.
"First, I don't want you to become a hothouse flower. You must know that one day you will leave me, and by then, you will only be able to rely on yourself!"
"Second, Ye Cangtian's actions were all justified. With so many people around, if I had acted, it would have damaged the reputation of the Misty Rain Tower!"
"Third, Ye Cangtian also knew when to stop. Although you look a bit disheveled, you are not seriously injured. If it were someone else's attack, even if you didn't die, you would have been severely injured..."
In the old man's opinion, Ye Cangtian must have discovered his presence, so he had restrained his power considerably.
The other party was merely using this method to send him a warning: the Yin Group was not to be bullied, and one should think twice before acting.
